Seven students graduated and the school had six on the faculty staff. JAZZ AGE GLOSSARY The '20's were extraordinarily fertile years for language in America; dozens of new words and expressions came into existence. flat tire- a dull, boring person big cheese- an important person banana oil- nonsense all wet- wrong cat's meow, bee's knees- anything wonderful lounge lizard- ladie's man THE ROARING '20's IHS activities included a Girls Reserve Club, a club organized to help girls find an abundant life and create a Christian atomophere in the high school. 2 Both boys and girls sang in a glee club and most boys were in High Y, (sim- ilar to High Q). School colors at IHS have al- ways been black and orange. Inman's football team in the fall of '27 had a record of 2-6. The boys bas- ketball team was 9- 12, and the girls team had no record, but played quite a few teams. We were not in a league so we played some big schools like Buhler and McPherson.

Boatshoes were In at the begin- ning of the year, but were seldom seen at the end. Hiking boots weren't really in this year, but people kept wearing them anyway... This look in wear seemed very popular at the beginning of the year, with several bad knees, and a broken leg and ankle. Amy sports the Phi Delta Theta of the best men of Washburn U... Christi and the 18-inch mini... 5 The beginning of school took us all back into the swing of going to games, getting up before noon, and staring at those orange lockers—just when we'd all gotten used to sleeping in and lying in the sun. Now it's time to put our heads in the books and look at the cooks happy faces. 1) Amy makes n bump! 2) Trade and Brenda piggin' out 3) Your shorts are too short!

STUCO spon- sored a back-to- school picnic and dance, a Thanks- giving assembly, an Easter assembly magicians and jug- glers, and the can dy and pop machine for student and faculty use. Mem- bers also decora- ted the tables for holidays. In the spring, STUCO put a long-awaited jukebox in the lunch room. They also organized a flag raising for the Inman Centennial mural dedication, and the May Day festivities and Parade in McPherson honoring Rebecca Obold and Duane Brunk. Stuco helped build a float for them and honored them at an assembly on May 7. Several times during the year, STUCO awarded a cooperative student body with candy bars, ice cream bars, and served the annual hamburger fry. 1 0 Pep Club sponsored both foot- ball and basketball homecomings. It al- so organized pep assemblies, decora- ted buses and lock- ers and showed all athletic teams great support. The cheerleaders were the leading force in Pep Club, hauling banners to ball games and to STATE. 1 1 The FT A started out the year again with their annual chore night and dance with FHA. Three Inman teams competed in the District Crops Contest on February A. The A team-Kendall Knackstedt, Brad Blank, and John Reh-placed 3rd. The 1st B team-Troy Hostetler, Brian Ellis, and Steve Penner-placed 3rd in their division. The 2nd B team-Duane Brunk, Jeff Ratzloff, and Cameron Grove-placed 4th. John Reh, Kendall Knackstedt, and Brad Unruh Received the State FFA Oegree. This award is — awarded only to the top three percent of all FFA members and is based on their work experience, their leadership ability, their mechanical acti- vities, and their record book. John Reh received the District Proficiency award in Placement in Agricultural Production. A slave auction on March 9th earned money for the annual Parent-Member Banquet held March 27.

The evening included a slide presentation and the in- stallation of new officers. The evening ended with refreshments after several members received achieve- ment awards. The FFA Banquet was held on March 27. The dinner was in the music room and members and guests moved to the auditorium for the rest of the evening. FFA also honored members and gave a slide show. Jerry Friesen was given an FFA Honorable Member plaque for his sup- port in FFA endeavors. With a group of only 36 paid members, the year had every possibility of not going well. But, even through difficulties, we had a good year. The year didn't sound promising when only 3 members showed up for the beginning-of-the-year social, but things did improve. Although the turn-out was small, our lock-in was a success. Inman celebrated FHA Week the week of February 8-14, and we planned a special activity each day. Monday saw us delivering red roses; Tuesday brought Hush Heart Day , with Steve Millison winning the day; on Wednesday, we handed out apples to all students and faculty; we wore red and white on Thursday; and on Friday we dressed up. On February 18, at District G Elections, Jennifer Schrag and Bill Froese were elected to office. FORENSICS This year the Forensics squad is small but mighty. At the Nickerson meet, Anita Rice and Toby Orth made it to finals. At the IDA League meet. Lauri Wedel, Jeni Schrag, and Toby Orth all qualified for finals. Toby Orth qualified for State with his poetry. Lauri Wedel qualified for State with her solo act. As a team, Toby and Lauri qualified for State IDA. Hie rest of the squad-Anita Rice, Jeni Schrag, Jerry Regehr, Brent Grove and Micheal Stull-are hoping to qualify for regionals. HIGH-Q The Higb-Q Tean participated in several meets throughout the year. They went to one meet in Abilene, and regionals at Pratt. They also participated in one computer contest. ART CLUB The goal of Art Club was to provide experience with the visual arts which fosters creativity and enhances visual awareness. The club worked closely with Pep Club and helped in the making of signs and posters for athletic games. The organization recognized students who exhibited talent and perseverance with the visual arts and also students who contributed time and energy to the organization. BACK: K. Geaddert, B.

The team record was 20 wins and 7 losses which is the best in Inman's volleyball history. They accomplished a 16 match winning streak. They were runners up at the HOA League and League tournaments. At the sub-state champion- ship, the girls defeated Moundridge and lost only to Otis Bison. The girls set goals, worked hard and accomplished those goals. The girls had a lot of jokes. One special one was psych- ing. When a ball that was obviously out of bounds came toward them, they would put their hands out pretending to hit it, then yell PSYCH and let the ball hit the floor. I REMEMBER MAMA The Hansens, a Norwegian immigrant family, have settled precariously in San Francisco. Their story is told in retrospect by their oldest teenage daughter now successful, but then a frustrated and undiscovered writer. Her memories of the family's early struggles, her sister's and brother's mishaps and joys, her aunt’s on-and-off romance with the local undertaker, the near loss of their home, Papa's desperate return to their homeland, Norway, and the sale of her first story, this one, all contribute to an inspiring theatrical experience. It is Katrin's marvelous memories of Mama that makes the play a delightful musical comedy. Play directors were Bruce Toews and Glenda Pfannenstiel. ft Mama...Lauri Wedel Aunt Trina...

Choral music started with a Pop Concert to loosen up voices after a long summer. A more expressive group Introduced us to the style of music at a Madrigal dinner that took us to a Renaissance setting complete with stocks. The hit of the evening was a Romeo and Juliet skit that probably shook Shakespeare. The spring semester brought forth positive attitudes and it was guite evident that the Chorus had really found itself. While practicing for concerts and contests, the group found time to exchange concerts with Peabody and to develop ensembles for performances. The Choir had an unusually large number of contest entries. The Spring Concert developed a patriotic theme and entertained its audience with folk tunes. 1) Mixed Chorus 2) Did you polish your shoes? 3) Notables ready for performance 3) Lords and ladies at Madrigal dinner 5) District Choir finalists The band, under supervision of Dan Masterson, started off a very busy year, with K-State Band Day, the State fair where the band received a I , and at all home football games. The year never really slowed down with eleven home basketall games and three state games in Topeka where Inman rated as one of the two best bands there. For variety the band traveled to a Hutchinson Community Col- lege basketball game, to further expand and even show off their talents gained by The drill team, composed of eight girls from band, performed several times with the band including a half- time performance show to Dancin in the Streets. The Concert Band, composed of several IHS band members, kept busy with various concerts and a contest on April 8th in Salina. The band ended a busy year with marching performances at both May Day in McPherson honoring IHS May Day royalty and at the Inman Centennial on Memorial weekend honoring Inman's 100th anniversary. 2 7 5 1 Winter is the time to put on the sweaters and turn on the heaters. winter offered the students a lot of things to do. The seniors spent hours thinking about their futures and took the opportunity to visit college campuses. The juniors worked hard on getting prom ready on April 11. The freshmen and sophomores worked hard on'homecoming decorating the lockers, backdrop and for the dance. Winter is a great time. The I Opener was the first Annual In the his- tory of the Inman Rural 8 High School and was pre- pared and published by the student body, school year of 1927-1928. 8) I must look beautiful! 9) Doug is equipped 10) CA11 them what you want. 11) Monica can't miss from that side. 12) Stacked lockers are just too much. 13) Must you in the Halls?

Pres.-Shana Schroeder; Pres.-Tammi Wiens The Class of 1990 was very involved with various clubs and organizations during the 86-87 school year. The class was very sports oriented with Heather Hancock, Lorie Schmidt, Jenny Walker, and Shans Schroeder playing varsity basketball. The freshman were also well represented in track, as they counted for almost half of the track team. The freshmen managed to miss half day of school in order to practice CPR. They fully enjoyed Drivers Education even though many already have their licenses and their own cars. - FRESHMAN 3 1 Jason Stubby Devery Stucky Michael Stull Brad Thiessen Laurie Tolle Carolyn Unruh FRESHMAN - FRESHMAN Jeremy Schroeder Shana Schroeder Carrie Snyder 2 1.

We behaved as adults much of the time. We were old enough to get a taste of freedom, of responsibility in life. We loved every minute of it. WE CAN'T WAIT FOR MORE! We decided that being a member of the Class of 1989 had distinct possibilities. 33 The freshman year is a new begin- ing in an exciting area of educa- tion. The sophomores are just glad they are no longer freshmen and are looking forward to becoming juniors. The juniors can't wait until the seniors graduate so they can call themselves seniors. But high school years are really some of the best.

Four students are in the National Honor Society and four are on the High - Q team. All this did not keep several members from excelling in sports and whether it was football, volleyball, basketball or track, the Juniors had a great showing. The high point of the year was planning for and putting on the traditional banquet and prom. They chose Forever Yours as their theme and spent months getting everything just right for the evening. The class was active in noney-making projects. They sold concessions at volleyball, football, and basketball games and put on a great chili supper at footbhall homecoming.

Magazine sales were the best since 1972 at IHS and this made the Senior Class trip possible. Football and basketball concessions kept everyone busy and gave the Class extra spending money for the trip. We wish to thank cur parents for everything they've done for us through the years. We also wish to thank the community for their support. 43 Rose, burgundy, and cream set off the evening of October 17, 1986 Fall Homecoming. The theme was I Can See The Heaven In Your Eyes, by Loverboy. Kim Blank was crowned queen and given the traditional kiss by Captain, Duane Brunk, before the Inman - Central Christian game. She received red roses, carried by Dalton Smith, and a crown, carried by Jeremy Speir. Attending Queen, Kim, were Princesses Jackie Burke and Christy Wiens; junior- Christi Ensz; sophomore- Lisa Hawkinson; freshman- Lorie Schmidt. The evening festivities ended with a homecoming dance sponsored by the Booster Club. Basketball Homecoming Princess - Sonja Ediger Queen - Valerie Fast Princess - Becky Clark Football Homecoming Princess - Christy Wiens Queen - Kim Blank Princess - Jackie Burke Basketball '87 We started the season by winning our own invitational tourney. We then took second in the Burrton contest and placed three players on the all-tournament team. For the first time in years, the bench had depth and almost every player saw action. The fans enjoyed game after exciting game. Although we had a losing year in 86 and the same boys were on the floor, they didn't look like the same team. And the Junior Varsity and Freshman team added to the excitement. More often than not, the boys picked up three wins in an evening. It was great!

It was a winner all the way. Highlights included a 2nd place finish in the pre-season tourna- ment, winning the cham- pionship at the Sterling tournament, taking the 2 A Sub State at Garden Plain, winning the Heart of Ame- rica League Title with a 9- 0 record and victories o- ver Burrton and Canton- Galva, and a 3rd place fin- ish at STATE. For the first time ever, the community followed al- most every move the Girls Team made and they saw some EXCITING basketball. Many times the maturity of the team was tested, and it was a young team with several sophomores and freshmen seeing action at crucial times. But they us- ually bounced back in a tough situation.

Anita Rice, class valedictorian, told her class that I believe any of us can do what we want to do in life. John Reh, class salutatorian, encouraged his classmates to Be swimmers, not floaters if you want to make a splash and be noticed. ptexz t iAaAf- t oony uda Aay yr«. rsirvnn 67 Grads enjoy fun-filled days in Oklahoma Twenty-five eager students left Inman at 4:00 a.m. Monday, May 25, 1987 for Tahlequah, Oklahoma and a canoe trip thirteen miles down the Illinois River. Six hours later with several good sunburns in the crowd, they checked into the Western Hills Lodge on the Fort Leonard Gibson Reservoir for a three day stay. In between snacks and meals, including a barbeque and a banquet, they water skied, boated, fished, played several games at the lodge and swam in the pool. The lazier members shopped in the near by towns and watched TV. In the middle of a large, rainy area, they really enjoyed the great weather they had, but when Thursday turned out to be a drencher, they headed home to Inman and to new lifetime goals.
