Not only did we receive a formal education, but we learned how to relate with others and how to be individuals. We learned how to be responsible and how to relax. We learned the joy of reaching a long awaited goal—graduation. tfi Our student lives included much more than school activities. Jobs, relationships, families, and other factors all affected the we spent the best times of our student lives.

JCHSers express ideas about student jobs Resia Moreland DPS editor Fall is always filled with fun and special times that can be remembered throughout the school year. Students are always involved in many activities. Among these activities, students may choose to keep a job. Keeping a job requires dedication, both to the job and to grades. Many of the nation’s teenagers hold jobs. Fifty-seven percent of the nations black teen-agers and 20 percent of white teen-agers work, but don’t need to. They do this for money, to buy clothes and cars. There are always good and bad points over every issue. With students working, there are many people involved, parents, school officials, teachers, and employers. Some teachers feel high school is not a time when students should work. “When you get out of high school and college you’ll be working for the rest of your life, and you’ll probably dislike your job. So why work now when you can play?” said government teacher Doug Conwell. Students are concerned about their grades. They are pressured by parents and school officials to keep up their grades. Sometimes it takes all of a student’s time to be devoted to school work. ‘ When you keep a job during school, you miss out on all the activities. You need your free time. On the weekdays, you already know you’ll be tied down with homework, and who needs the added pressure of a job? On the weekends you should relax. You should take time to enjoy not working, because you’ll be working for the rest of your life,” said Julie Vogelsang. Some students have to much time to spare. A job gives them responsibilities. It gives them goals to work for. doing good in school and in their job “I feel a job adds responsibilities to the students. It shows them how the real world is. Students have to learn how to divide their time and decide what is more important for them,” said Regina Nunnery typing teacher. There is always the students point of view. Many students do feel the same as Nunnery. Ricci Volpe. who works at Merle Normans and the Klothes Kloset. said, “I never feel I have enough time for myself, or school activities. Sometimes teachers expect too much. They go too fast. Parents want kids to work, so they can gain a sense of responsibility, and pay for other things such as cars, clothes, and other activities. Whatever a student’s choice might be, and whatever he she might be doing, whether it is working or not. it must agree with them and the goals they have set for themselves. At Food 4 Less.

The things teen-agers referred to on the issue of what's in did not always relate to clothing styles. Other concerns like what to do for fun and pleasure, popular food, and movies could also be an issue. Popular clothing probably caused the most pressure as far as being in style. The year’s biggest styles for guy were Levi's 501 Blues, over-sized sweatshirts, button-down oxfords and sweaters The majority of the quvs wore tennis shoes and sports socks, but of course there were those who would wear coordinating dress socks with loafers Loose fitting, stonewashed gray jeans and a sweater along with Eastland shoes and coordinating socks are my favorite things to wear. said Chris Carter. 87. Fashionable outfits for girls followed a large range. Mini-skirts and tank tops could be seen on warm, sunny days. Large belts of various colors and sizes were worn with all lengths of skirts, as well as pants and jeans. The more casual look was simply to wear the most favorite jean among girls. GUESS, and a loose-fitting top. such as a sweat-shirt or a warm sweater. “Jeans and a loose-fitting, heavy sweater seemed to always keep me cozy and comfortable.” said Cindy Wright. 87. Shoes worn by many girls were flats. These were a big success because of the comfort, but they still looked dressy Another big success were the white tennis shoes often called BO—BO's These shoes were owned by almost every girl and worn until worn-out. On the days when the girls wanted real comfort, they would wear tennis shoes with name brand of Re-ebok. Just about everything anyone wanted to wear was in style as long as it was just strange I like the Audi' because of the sporty inside and how smooth it rides. said Moses Hicks. 88 Movies were one of the most popular sources of entertainment. Some of the favorite movies were Pee-Wee Herman. Top Gun,” and Soul Man...Jumpin' Jack Flash’ was my favorite movie. said Becky Penn, Although movies were the biggest source of entertainment there were still many more. Almost every weekend, therejwas a party to be found—keg or no keg. Teens enjoyed just getting together with friends and cruising or hanging out at Hardee’s and Kwick Sac Going to KU frat parties with my boyfriend and going to Aggieville were my sources of entertainment. said Trish Mathis. 87 Food of course, was a big topic of discussion. Where should we go for lunch? or “Let's all get a hamburger at Hardee's after the game,” were often-used quotes. Among the enjoyable fast food restaurants were Hardee’s. McDonalds. Pin-ata. Pizza Hut. Burger King, and Dairy Queen Foods enjoyed by the students were all kinds, from Pringles Lights to Doritos. all kinds of cookies and candy, and the M M and Oreo Blizzards. Mexican food and Pizza are my favorite kinds of food.” said Resia Moreland. 87. Music groups seemed to be in popular demand for students. Music varied from each click of students. From Hard Rock. Heavy Metal. Rapp, and good ol Rock-n-Roll. Groups such as Lisa Lisa. Run D.M.C., Bon Jovi. Talking Heads. Motley Crue. and the Fat Boys. Full Force is my favorite music group, because I like what they sing.” said Michelle King. 88 Although Fads Fashion were of big concern, the individuality of each person's own interest in fashion seemed to also be important, since the trends were set by the individuality of each person.

That’s how it is at a JCHS football game. Can you imagine half-time? As the drill team, band, and twirlers perform; and the football team discusses tactics for the second-half, half-time becomes a circus. While some people stay in the stands to watch the half-time performers, the other fans mob the concession stand. One German club member, MikeTomlison.88. who worked at the concession stand stated: We were selling cokes as quick as we could fill them. Halftime was very busy and hectic.” Crystal Davis, 88. another worker, also thought it was a very busy and hectic time. Besides getting my feet crunched on every time I turned around, I smelled like Dr. Pepper and coke mixed together and my Reeboks looked pitiful! Davis said. If you were standing near the concession stand at half-time, you would have seen people pushing and shoving to get a bag of popcorn, a hot dog, or maybe just something to drink. But, remember, the customers were not the only ones being pushed and shoved around. This busy and hectic time paid off, though. The more people that came to join this wildness, the more money that JCHS made. The concession stand was built two years ago by the carpentry class and has since proved to be a success. A minimum of 10-12 people were required to run the stand. Open to any clubs or groups, the concession stand brought in approximately $600-$1000 per game A large amount of this profit this school year was due to the fact that the Coke Company donated all coke cups to the school. Once again, as the drill team, band, and twirlers performed to show their spirit; other forms of spirit, liveliness, and wildness were going on at the concession stand. As half-time came to a close, the lines at the concession stand slowed down and the game went on. The JCHS football team came out once again to show their spirit. 12 Half Time J©rry Slattery, 87, Eugene Tubwell 87. and Charles Mills, 87. play at the state championship game.

But before that ceremony can take place, a lot of hard work and planning has to occur. The first thing that has to happen is the selection of candidates, which is by one of two ways. The club or organization can nominate a person or a student can start a petition. This makes sure that the student has a group of supporters. Some of the Homecoming petition requirements are that all candidates must be registered to vote; all must be nominated by a person who is registered to vote; all students signing the petition must be registered to vote and of the same class, and there must be twenty-five legible signatures or more. Following nominations and petitioning, each class votes for male and female candidates. The top five vote-getters of each sex are the homecoming royalty candidates. Later, out of the five members of each class, the king, queen,, princes, and princesses are chosen. Because of the club nominations, which was a new idea, this was the first time so many nominations were made. The parade, which was a big success, had a lot of community attention. The R.O.T.C. marching and the unique floats made the parade even more interesting. The parade’s individual float winners were first place Lisa Hiesterman, second place Cindi Pratt, and third place Kelly Nelson. Club and organization float winners were first place J.C. Players, second place The Spanish Cluband third place Debate-NFL. Senior Homecoming Candidates Front Row Michelle Williams. Kelvin Whisenhunt. Brenda Paquette. Michelle Strain.

David Ray Catch the wave Sophomore prince Brian Orr and princesses Lmdy McAfee and Mia Vargas Paquette, Whisenhunt win crown Stasi Backsheider Sports editor The exciting week of homecoming came to a climax with the Coronation Ceremony. Brenda Paquette and Kelvin Whisenhunt were crowned King and Queen. “I was very surprised and didn’t believe that it was my name that was called.'' Whisenhunt said. I was happily surprised, because all of the candidates were well deserving,” Paquette said. In the crowning of sophomore princess, there was an unusual occurence. A tie took place between Lindy McAfee, and Mia Vargas. Brian Orr was crowned sophomore prince. Max Craft student council sponsor, didn't think the tie caused any difficulties. “It wasn’t a problem. It just made it a little more challenging to pull it off and still keep it a secret.” Craft said. Dawn Davisand K.C. Smith were crowned Junior Princess and Prince. Smith was unable to participate in the Coronation Ceremony because he plays football. How did he feel while he was in the locker room during half time while he knew the coronation was going on? I really wasn’t thinking about it. All my intentions were focused on the game.” Smith Sfiid. “The Homecoming game itself went astonishingly well By the end of the first quarter the score was 40 to 0 in J.C.’s favor. By the end of the game it was 40 to 22. still with Junction City having the dominate score “It felt great, but the only problem was that after the first quarter they took the varsity players out and we didn’t get much playing time after practicing so hard,” Andrew Jackson, said. The theme of the dance was “Catch the Wave. Drown the Trojans.” Over 20 kids and two sponsors worked for eight hours on and off Saturday afternoon to pull this dance off. “It was the most help I had on any dance ever, Craft said. The dance seemed to go successfully and people seemed to stay longer. The dance didn’t take it’s self too seriously and that's what made it work. Some dances take their decorations and themes too seriously. People lost their inhabitions toward the middle of the dance and decided to let loose. said Cindi Pratt, 87. The decorations were on the line of a beach scene. They consisted mostly of coconuts and palm trees and signs. Dancing to music provided by Karle Woodward.

Junior and senior girls were fired up and preparing for Filly Football “86 The original date of October 25 was changed due to rain and cold weather. When the girls finally did suit up for the game in their custom made jerseys, they'd extra practice and were well prepared for the event. It was November 4. a chilly night with a slight breeze and a threat of rain. The senior girls took the field full of positive energy. They were warming up when the junior girls came onto the field chanting “Juniors, Juniors OHH AHH!’“ The seniors stopped and watched as the underclassmen confidently began their flawless sit-ups and toe-touches. A glimmer of doubt shone in the eyes of the senior team. They knew the juniors were prepared to fight. Finally—what everyone had been waiting for—the referees came onto the field. LET THE GAME BEGIN! The match started out slowly with very few yards compiled by either offense in the first quarter. The second quarter began, and senior running back Michelle Williams began to show her true colors. The first touchdown of the evening was executed by Williams, who was handed off to by quarterback, Tami Burch. That was just the beginning of a senior grip on the lead that lasted till the end. Half-time activities began with a routine from the J-Stompers-the male equivalent to the J-Steppers Drill Team. Five guys danced and kicked to I Can’t Wait by Nu Shooz Roars of laughter and claps of approval came from the largest filly football crowd turnout in years. Next the Filly Football Royalty Candidates and their escorts lined up on the track. Senior. Larry Forsyth was crowned king and was taken for a ride in a royally decorated shopping cart. Mike Rothfuss, junior, and Rob Wright, sophomore, were named as Forsyth's Court. Other candidates included Rob Smith and Ken Schmidt, seniors, Steve Selock and Todd Nabus, juniors, and Lance Dixon and Chuck Zimmerman, sophomores. Light rain began to fall and the senior team went to make three more touchdowns in the third quarter. This left the score at 24-0 at the beginning of the fourth quarter. In a desperate attempt to put points on their side of the scoreboard, the junior team illegally suited up Todd Nabus. their coach, and placed him in the game. He took the place of Julie Ganz. running back, and went on to make the underclassmen only touchdown of the evening as well as their two extra points.

Harold Hill (Dwayne Carrier. 87) sings the Shipoopi Photo by Johnson Trouble here in River City Professor Harold Hill brings band to JCHSauditorium Sandy Thurman DPS Editor The hammering and sawing had once again started. Preparations for the current “Say It With Music” play, The Music Man” had begun. Vocal music instructor Charels Volland was the Coordination Director, and Drama teacher Lee Howe was the technical Director. This put Volland in charge of the paperwork and expenses, while Howe took care of set designs and building. Howe s teacher assistants (TA's) Chris Harold, 87. Billy Reed, 87; and Sandy Thurman, 87, helped Howe make decisions about the set. They also ran the play from backstage. Being a T.A. and helping with a dramatic production could be very demanding, but rewarding in the end. According to Billy Reed, “When the play is over there is a warm feeling inside knowing that you did it.” In addition to planning the musical and building sets, many other advance preparations had to occur. Tryouts for lead characters were held in the spring of ‘86. This allowed more time to work on the musical in the fall. Both preliminary and final tryouts took place. Preliminaries at the very beginning of the school year and the finals a week later. The actors and actresses were picked on the basis of their ability to sing the songs that were required of the character, and on their ability to portray that character. For some of the parts, there was a lot of competition, and for others there was hardly any. Tryouts affected various actors act-resses in different ways. I was a little nervous, but not as bad as I thought I would be. The trick is to let everyone else try out, then you try out last. It’s a lot easier, said Dwayne Carrier, 87, who played Harold Hill. I wasn’t really nervous. There were only two others who tried out for my part. I had my friends there encouraging me also, and that really helps. said Jan Hofer, 87, who played Marian cont. on page 22 20 Fall Play Mrs. Paroo (Amy Moore. 87) tells her daughter, Marian, to go after Harold Hill, and to stop waiting for her white knight.

Still there were more preparations before the opening of the show. The costumes were either made by Howe or other seamstresses. A few of them were rented from the Kansas City Costume Company in Overland Park. Kansas. The children’s costumes were made by their parents. The set was built by Stagecraft I class. It took about four to five weeks to build. The props, such as chairs, tables, and coatracks, were borrowed from Johnson Brothers. The rest of the props were either borrowed from the the community or bought. The musical is about a traveling sales man. Harold Hill, who is a con artist. He creates a boys’ band in River City. Iowa. His only downfall is falling in love with Marian Paroo, who is the librarian. The play takes place in River City. Iowa, in 1912, around the fourth of July. Rehearsals for the musical lasted for three months. They were long, and a few problems were encountered. For instance, one week from opening night, one of the breakers on the lighting system shorted out. The rest of the rehearsal was conducted using the house lights. Some of the rehearsals were very rough: lines were forgotten, people missed cues, etc... But the show went on. Other problems happened backstage during scene changes. “Sets sometimes fell apart or failed to work correctly,” said Student Director, Sandy Thurman. There were also a few embarrassing moments. According to Dwayne Carrier, “Every rehearsal is an embarrassing moment” Jan Hofer was a little more specific. For instance, everyone discovered that she doesn’t like live worms, or rubber worms in her mouth, placed there by Dwayne Carrier. Even the stagecrew had embarrassing moments, especially when the student director tried to get the lightbooth over the headset by calling it a “yearbook.” It was also found that some of the stagecrew can’t sit on a park bench without losing their balance. The performances went well, although a few cues were missed and there were some problems backstage but all in all, the musical received good reviews from its audiences. “I was impressed and the scene changes were so quick,” said Karla Williams, 89. The musical was performed three times for the public. Since the Blue Jay football team went to substate, which was scheduled at JCHS at the time of the traditional Friday night performance, the musical was changed to a Sunday Matinee. The cast and crew weren't too thrilled about it. but they survived. While waiting for a scene change.

He was so perfect he seemed almost inhuman, which, in fact, he was. Max Headroom was a computer generated, talking head which was the star of a cable TV show, best-selling author, and multi-million dollar “spokesman” for Coca-Cola. All these accompli hments, along with help from his human associate, Matt Fewer, helped him to land his own groundbreaking network series. This highly experimental new series may have stylistically been described as a full sensory experience. It borrowed some atmosphere ideas from recent cinema fantasies, and it managed to look like nothing ever designed for the small screen. Movie and television shows which used to portray the future as shiny and new looking changed futurist fantasy scenes to dark, claustrophobic dens littered with identities of the past. “Max Headroom: Twenty Minutes Into The Future” copied this new future look and even added to it. Tve seen it once, and it’s a pretty complicated show. I guess it’s okay; Max Headroom’s a unique guy.” said Jami Jamieson, 89. Headroom’s popularity quickly caught on in the States. After his Coke contract, which was reportedly worth $4 million, was signed, Max Headroom appeared on nationwide T.V. He then went on to write two best-selling books, one a self-help opus entitled “Max Headroom’s Guild To Life,” as well as establish a line of namesake merchandise ranging from t-shirts to cosmetics. Speakers address JCHS students Trisha Mathis DPS Editor Bill Meehan and Phil Kline were two guest speakers whom JCHS students were privileged enough to be addressed by during the school year. Meehan, national representative for Students Against Driving Drunk, visited area high schools to discuss the problem of drinking and driving, the main one being peer pres- sure and the second being break down of communication between parent and teen. He did note, however, that parent teen communication had improved over recent years due to the media attention to the subject as well asorganizations such as SADD. “My mom knows I drink sometimes and as long as it is not her liquor she doesn’t care,” said Cindi Pratt, 87. The main reason for Meehan’s student forum was to introduce SADD’s Contract for Life.” The contract w as an agreement between teen and parent that opened the lines of communication. If the teen drank too much, he could call his parents, who in turn would find a safe ride home for the teen with no questions asked at that time. ”1 don’t usually find myself in that situation, so I don’t have that problem or a need for the contract,” explained Michelle McConville, 88. Phil Kline, 1986 Republican candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives, talked to JCHS students about his campaign on October 27. Kline commented on his views of subjects such as the budget deficit, agriculture, and unemployment. Kline then took questions from students on topics ranging from education to his age. 24 News AND FEATURES Freaks come out Trisha Mathis DPS Editor It's 11:30 pm on a typical Friday night in Junction City. A small crowd develops in Hardee's parking lot. and the group decides to head to Manhattan in search of fun and adventure. They know they can find it at the Seth Childs Cinemas. ' The Rocky Horror Picture Show (RHPS) trend continued in '86-'87 at JCHS. The RHPS is a cult film made in the 1960's. It’s full of odd and scary characters such as Rif Raf, Magenta, Frank Furter, and Rocky. Movie goers enjoy dressing up in the gaudy attire of their favorite RHPS character and going out to see it at midnight. RHPS fanatics often find themselves addicted to the mad antics of the show and go every weekend, bringing along bags of things to throw at the screen such as rice and toast. They also enjoy getting loud and yelling rude obscenities at certain characters in spots made for that purpose. It's more fun than regular movies. You can really participate, said Becky Penn, 87. After the movie ends it's about 2:30 and the tired excitement seekers journey home to J.C.

SADD representative Bill Meehan visits with JCHSstudents following streeses the “Contract for Life to his October 27 speech the JCHS student body When asked about his youth, the 26-year-old candidate said, “I'm not running in spite of my age, I'm running because of my age. People our age have more at stake politically than any other age group.” When asked about how Kline responded to student questions. Melanie Taylor, 87, said, “I felt he answered the students questions honestly without sidestepping the issue. In closing, Kline said the difference between Jim Slattery and myself is that I won’t talk, I will act. However, Kline was defeated by incumbent Slattery during the November 4 election. News 25 NATIONAL The fight for ‘Baby M’ Jennifer Easterling DPS Editor Mary Beth Whitehead, surrogate mother, sadly faced the press as she stepped outside of the courtroom on a cold February day. Tears filled her eyes at the loss of her daughter. ‘Baby M. A New Jersey court had ordered Baby M placed in the home of the baby’s father and mother, William and Elizabeth Stern. Noel P. Kerns was the lawyer from Dearborn. Michigan who brought the Stern's and Ms. Whitehead together. The Stern’s were desperate to have a child, so naturally it sounded good to support a surrogate to have their child. They all met at the lawyers office. signed contracts, and came to an agreement on the monthly payment. White-head would receive good, nutritious food, maternity clothing and medical bills. The average cost Keane set up was $ 10.000 for the case and another $10,000 to pay for the surrogate plus all other expenses needed for the surrogate. Nine full months and thousands of dollars later, Whitehead decided that she wanted to keep the child, “Baby M”. Even after they pointed out that had a contract with Whitehead, Keane refused to get involved or to help them. It’s not my case, Keane explained. William Stern happily holds Baby M after being awarded custody by the court. AP Photo At the first hearing of the case of “Baby M, Keane was not called into the courtroom, much to the disappointment of both sides of the dispute. And in February Keane was not asked to appear in the courtroom either. He felt that he just played matchmaker to a desperate couple and a willing surrogate. The public and court overlooked this and focused on the ethics of surrogate parenting. Thus it is as stands. The Sterns have the surrogate child, Baby M,” for now, but Mary Beth Whitehead has promised to reappeal to the court and win “her” baby back. President Reagan delivers a speech at an American Foundation for AIDS Research benefit awards dinner on May 31. AP Photo AIDS: a Jennifer Easterling DPS Editor On May 31,1987. President Reagan delivered a speech at the American Foundation for AIDS Research benefit awards dinner in Washington. 26 News |sj EWS [ERICAN UNDATIOX R AIDS SEARCI1 information on which to make decisions, but in the case of marriage license, it might prevent at least some babies from being born with AIDS,” Reagan said. But the AIDS treatment could cost the U S. $10-$15 billion a year and Jeffrey N. Levi, executive director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, argued that the money won’t help but instead should be used for education programs. The Japanese had also been alarmed over how far AIDS had spread, with 26 cases and 18 deaths. To the Japanese, getting AIDS always had been another’s nightmare but the death of a 29-year-old Kobe prostitute changed that. The mass media put out full color specials showing symptoms and victims saying- 'Do you have AIDS lurking in your body?” Callers flooded the Japanese AIDS hotline, with questions about the disease. The new 24-hour hotline received 247.000 calls during its first week. Many were wives worried about wayward husbands. Many people blamed the disease. AIDS, on foreigners. Massage parlors and even legitimate public baths hung signs up reading “No foreigners!’’ But who is really to blame for this horrible killer? Racism alive in U.S ■ growing menace In this speech Reagan spoke on some changes that were going to be made in the U.S. to help prevent the disease AIDS from spreading. One of the changes would be routine AIDS testing for prisoners, immigrants. applicants for marriage licenses, and those seeking treatment for drug abuse or sexually transmitted diseases. It’s about time we knew exactly what we are facing. And that is why I support routine testing Not only will testing give us more Jen Easterling DPS Editor Racism in the U.S. has had one major issue after another. One group, the Ku Klux Klansmen. have killed off many black families because of prejudice. In 1981, one black man, Michael Donald, was beaten, his throat slashed, and he was then hanged from a tree to insure that he was dead. When a KKK member was found, he testified to the court that It was nothing personal.” They had wanted to slay any black man in an act of revenge for the killing of a white police officer. However. Donald’s family may be the victorious party. In February, they filed suit against six past and present Klan members and the United Klans of America, the oldest of the various KKK outfits. An all-white jury in Alabama brought in a $7 million award for damages in the death. The Donalds’ suit seemed to be the first suit in which the KKK had been held liable for actions of its members. The lawyers representing the Donald family relied on a “corporate-conspiracy theory to pull them through. But the organized Klan group argued that the KKK has long instigated violence; therefore, it should not be held responsible for damages stemming from brutal attacks by its followers. Finally, a conscience stricken young man named James “Tiger Knowles pleaded guilty to violating Donald’s civil rights in an earlier case. In March 1981, he testified that the United Klansmen were angry because a Mobile jury had failed to convict a black defendant charged with killing a white policeman. Knowles said a few nights later. “The Klan members saw 19-year-old Michael Donald walking down a street, enticed him into their car by asking directions to a night club, drove him out of town and killed him. Then they set a cross aflame in front of the Mobile County Courthouse. Knowles was then sentenced to life in prison for his part in the murder, but fellow Klansman Henry Francis Hays refused to cooperate with authorities, and was sentenced to die. This verdict is hoped to be the demise of the United Klans organization. News 27 Spirit builds Cheerleaders create excitement Valere Walker DPS Editor Spirit Exploding! Excitement on Fire! Andthe JCHS cheerleaders were on fire! Cheerleading was a year round sport which took much time in practice and dedication from each member of the squad. Sometimes cheerleaders were expected to give up their own spare time to make posters, decorate the school, cars, make cookies, tee-pee houses, or whatever the squad may be doing for that particular game or match. “We had seven girls who went to ICF camp at KU this summer, being myself. Valere Walker, Sarah Bowling. Trisha Mathis, Brenda Paquette. Melanie Taylor, and Cindi Pratt,” said Stasi Backscheider. ‘We had a lot of fun and learned a lot too, said Brenda Paquette. “We learned new pyramids and stunts and how to perfect them.” The girls earned 11 ribbons which was quite an improvement over the seven they got the previous year. They also got second in the finals out of the small varsity squads. “Most of us have been cheerleaders over several years which explains the improvement of the overall squads,” added Trisha Mathis. Another improvement of JCHS cheerleading was the addition of the yell leaders for the basketball season. There were five girls and five guys. “I was scared at first, getting in front of the student body, but it’s a lot of fun and different from anything I have ever done. I think I’m going to go for it in college! said yell leader Rodney Brown. The yell leaders from Marymount College taught cheers and worked with the guys and girls for the winter sports tryouts. Joyce Taylor was the new head sponsor, and Dr. Larry Dixon took over as the new athletic director this year, so things were changing, rules were being altered, and a great number of pep rallies were held to raise school spirit. There were also school sponsored pep buses to take students and the pep band to away games. It cost the athletic department more money, but the support the teams and cheerleaders got was well worth the expense. The football squad entertains spectators at a pep rally to Two Bits.

Cheerleaders 29 It’s merely routine J-Steppers strive to continue tradition of excellence Trisha Mathis DPS Editor Performing in front of hundreds of people requires confidence and skill. The JCHS J-Stepper Drill Team met each of these requirements during the 86-87 season and made their job look easy. The drill team, which consisted of 18 girls, worked to perfect various routines for performances at wrestling. football, and basketball games. Many of the routines were choreographed by members and were taught to the rest of the team. Other routines were learned at either one of the two drill team camps that the girls attended the previous summer. At these three-day camps in Wichita and Lawrence, the girls learned and perfected up to three routines a day. In order to get out in front of the crowds, each performer was required to memorize the routine and execute it flawlessly in what were called “cuts.” Nyla Wilson. J-Stepper sponsor, videotaped the drill team doing their routine a few days prior to each performance. She then watched it and was able to decide who performed. Her decisions were based on the routine memorization, showmanship, and other general performance skills. Lisa Rose, senior, said, “As long as ego’s are kept in the locker room before practice, everything goes great and being on the drill team is a lot of fun.” There were many advantages to being a J-Stepper in 86-87. According to Tammie Clark, fourth lieutenant, the biggest advantage was “getting to know and being friends with the people that you otherwise wouldn’t.” Drill Team. Front row Becky Carlisle.

You've got to be kidding!?! On December 23, the student body and staff experienced something new at the school, an all school Christmas party. Student Council co-sponsors, Max Craft and Jill Buettenbach, first brought up the idea in a StuCo meeting. Member Todd Jeffrey, 87, really liked the idea and took on much responsibility for promoting the event. He was the first one to talk to John Kimbrell, principal, and helped promote the ideas to other members of StuCo. “The Student Council is there for the reason of getting the students what they want, and they wanted it. Also I thought it was a good idea,” Jeffrey said. At the beginning, the other members of StuCo weren't showing much support, but Ruth Sprick. 87, Student Council president, and Jeffery decided to go on with the idea. They began to work on writing the plans, thinking up more activities for the party as they went along. After the plans were completed, Sprick had to go in front of the administrators to get the approval needed. When confronted with the idea, there were mixed feelings among the administrators. Some were very supportive while others were concerned. One of the major concerns was how the staff and the students would respond. Both proved to be very responsible in dealing with the party. Sprick had to introduce the idea to the faculty after convincing the administrators. I was very skeptical. I was a little more encouraged after the first faculty meeting, Sprick said. Two-thirds of the faculty had to agree with the party for it to actually happen. There was much controversy, with the idea passing by only one vote. The party consisted of five different activities for the students. There was a dance held in the South Gym, with Delbert Johnson. 87. and Greg Copeland. 87, as the disc jockeys. Pop and Christmas cookies were served from the concession stand in the commons area. The J.C. Players performed short skits in the auditorium. Short cartoons and films were shown on VCR’s. And in the North Gym. basketball and volleyball were played. The cafeteria was also left open for those students who did not wish to participate. Response to the party varied. Some had a more positive attitude than others. “I feel that it was great and thoughtful. I appreciated the work that went into it as well as the deliverance,” Marilyn Carter, 87. said. StuCo.

James Fischer DPS Editor Among the many extracurricular activities offered, two stood out for their diversity and cultural activities. The foreign language clubs, German and Spanish, both had the same objective: to learn about the cultures of the nations that used these languages in a fun manner Sam Shamburger, German Club sponsor, said. “We try to give a well-rounded view of what Germany is really like.’ The Spanish Club focused mainly on Mexico, it being the closest Spanish speaking neighbor of the U.S. Not only were its many members students of the Spanish language, they were all interested in the many colorful aspects of Spanish culture. They hosted many activities such as a Christmas party, which included a pinata, a paper mache’ replica of an animal filled with candy. They also held a Christmas potluck supper for members and their families. The German Club’s interest was held by its host nation of Germany. It had 65 members which, although it was a decline from the previous year’s membership, was still quite a large showing of support. The German Club’s meetings regularly consisted of guest speakers who had actually lived in Germany, and they tried to communicate their impressions of the country and related their experiences. The club also traditionally held a lock-in for it members and organized one day when the school served an authentic German meal during Foreign Language Week In addition, it honored the deceased father of a former German Club president by laying a wreath on his grave at Ft. Riley on Memorial Day. The German Club also participated in two competitions: oral reading of poetry and prose, and ballroom dancing. “We did well in the level three poetry contest, taking both prizes,” Shamburger said. The classes worked and practiced during class for about four months in preparation for the competition. These clubs were actively supported both in the community and in the school. An example of the awareness these clubs had in the community was the Thanksgiving food drive the German Club held. It donated the food they raised to needy families within the area. One participant in the food drive, Crystal Davis, 88, said, “It felt good to help those who don’t have as much as we do.” The German and Spanish Clubs were two clubs that shared a unique experience. They had fun while explaining other countries’ cultures. German Club. Front row Sam Shamburger (sponsor). Robert M Wilson (treasurer).

AFS and SADD offer alternatives Cindy Jones DPS Editor JFK once said. “It’s not what your country can do for you. It’s what you can do for your country.” Helping people began way back when. Even though one doesn’t hear much about it in contemporary life, it still survives at JCHS. SADD and AFS are true examples of this. SADD had many activities to help people learn not to drive drunk. During Homecoming week a wrecked car was seen in the parade. This was to make people think twice before drinking and driving. Many other activities to help were also done such as assemblies and guest speakers. Why did students join SADD? “...because if I don’tdrink. maybe I can influence other people not to.” Angie Ballard. 89. said The SADD motto stated the basic beliefs of this organization. “If we can dream it. it can be done.” AFS also helped people. It helped Leslie Free. 87. to become a more independent and mature person. It also gave her an insight into another culture and allowed her to be an ambassador for her country. New Zealand Some AFS activities included an orientation in Los Angeles. AFS adult club meetings and parties, giving speeches, meeting other exchange students, and much more. “AFS is an excellent program which promotes peace and understanding throughout the world. Free said. Helping people always pays off. When help promotes peace and understanding that’s when we know that we’re building a better world to live in. SADD. Front row Amy Burnham.

Are you a wench or a damsel in distress? Either way the place for you was at the Renaissance Festival. The Renaissance Festival in Kansas City. Missouri was JC Players big field trip. They went on Saturday. September 27. The day started off a little chilly, and it was after Kansas City had just had a big rainstorm. The members of JC Players didn’t mind. All they knew was that they wanted to go to the festival. It had been two years since the group had gone. It was a three and a half hour drive. “The trip there was long and interesting,” said Laurie Gardner, 87. When they arrived, it was about ten o’clock The ground was slightly soggy, the sun was bright and there was a nice cool breeze. Once everyone was through the gate, people broke up into groups and tried to decide which way . to go first, since there were so many different things to see. According to Dwayne Carrier, 87, “One of the highlights was the Drench the Wench, which was a dunking machine with a wench sitting on the bench.” Kay Moeller, 87, liked watching “Becky Pendarvis shriek whenever a dirty, escaped prisoner came near her. By noon it started to get hot and people began to get hungry. There were special food shops such as French. German, and many others. Beer was also sold at the festival but Lee Howe. JC Players sponsor, said that was out, which left coke, lemonade and a few other drinks. Around one o’clock many people were hot and tired. This made most of them go to the jousting, which is a sport where two knights in armor battle against each other on a big field. The object is to knock the opponent off his horse first by using a long pole. The jousting was interesting, but the benches were wooden and splintered plus it was very hot. But it was a great chance to rest muddy feet for a while. Finally it was time to go home. On the way home, some people slept, others talked of things they bought such as gnarlies and other things such as how broke they were after the trip. Most of all, most of the group talked of the sunburns they didn’t realize they had until they got on the bus. All in all everyone seemed to have had a great time.

Melissa Angell A year full of fun Kays, Kayettes supply various activities for students Chris Allensworth DPS editor Many students enjoyed the Filly football game and the Snowflake Dance, but few realized the time and effort Kays and Kayettes had to put in to provide these activities for the student body. It took about three weeks of practice for the filly football players. Actually, it would have only taken two weeks, but the game canceled for another week because of a rainy day. So they had an extra week of practice. They usually practiced from 3:30 to 7.00. The J-Stompers practiced for about 10 hours before the date of the game. A few of the people who helped out with it were Jean Garvey, who handled the concession stand; Tom Kite, who took care of the broadcasting; Margie Heddens. who retrieved the referees and Weaver who sold the tickets. Starting the first of September, the preparation that was done was getting the jerseys, getting the girls to go out for it, getting some coaches, a lot of time practicing, and working on Saturdays. I thought everyone did a good job. There was a lot of good work put into it,” Heddens said. In the middle of October, planning for the Snowflake dance started. They had once a week meetings, and a lot of after school doings. Garvey, Harris, Heddens, Lee Howe, Major Roger Kugler, and Belinda Gibbons were a few of the ones who worked on planning the dance. They started at 9:00 the morning of the dance and finished at 2:30 in the afternoon. The preparation that was done was drawing up and drafting how they wanted the dance. They did a lot of running around. “I thought it turned out rather nice. There were more people there than we had planned, Heddens said. Another project Kays and Kayettes did was trick or treat for UNICEF. They dressed up in costumes and went out to trick or treat for UNICEF. After they were done, they had a party to celebrate what they had collected. They gave out prizes to the best girls costume and best boys costume. Cindi Pratt, dressed as a bag lady, won the best girls costume and Larry Forsythe, dressed as a sort-of-like werewolf, won the best boys costume. “Many people were enthusiastic about it. The enthusiasim of the people make it a big success, Pratt said. Other activities Kays and Kayettes were involved in were the Heartfund Drive and the Spring Fling dance. 40 Kays and Kayettes Using her artistic talents.

Though the need was apparent, the papers were due; dreamsof a Blue Christmas were there too! A Blue Christmas was just what everyone got at the annual Snowflake dance. Sponsored by KAYS. Snowflake ‘86 was the only semi-formal dance held in the commons area. The decorations were simple yet elegant, the majority of the trimmings were, of course, snowflakes. Different from years past. Snow Flake Royalty candidates were chosen by a vote of the KAY membership, instead of candidates being picked by by male KAY board members. The sophomore candidates were Meg Forsythe. Robin Frakes. and Patricia Willis. Kelli Ferguson. Stacy Denver, and Lisa Yosha were the junior candidates. Senior Queen candidates were Belinda Gibson, Trisha Mathis, and Melanie Taylor. All candidates were known for outstanding service to the organization. After introductions made by Carl Woodward of KQLA. Trisha Mathis emerged the Snowflake Queen. Stacey Denver and Robin Frakes won Juniorand Sophomore Princess. My mother. Beth Mathis. 62. won Snowflake Queen and my cousin Jayme Mathis, 86, won last year. I guess it runs in the family, I was really surprised and happy I won.” Mathis said. Unfortunately, as all good things do, the evening came to a close and the reality of school and research papers made the Snowflake Dance of 1986 another wonderful memory. As I heard it exclaimed as I drove out of sight “A Merry Christmas to all. because all had a good night.

All the alumni of JCHS who sang in the choirs for the past fifty years were invited to While blowing in his tuba. Jon Connor. 88. watches the director. Photo by Johnson participate with Concert Choir in singing the final song, The Hallelujah Chorus. This spectacular performance took place on Monday, December 22. Since we are only half way through the year, I feel the choirs are doing well, but there is still room for further growth and development. Sometimes wedo well and other times we don’t do as well as we could, Volland said. The night of the performance, the music students busied themselves with putting robes on, last minute hair and face checks, getting candles, and warming up voices in preparation to sing for the large crowd that had gathered in the North Gym. The audience hushed as the lights dimmed and Concert Choir entered two by two singing O Come All Ye Faithful in Latin. After assembling on the risers, Concert Choir continued in singing There Shall A Star Come Out Of Jabod and Gloria In Excelsis. The Concert Band followed Concert Choir with an outstanding performance led by former band director Perry Pangrac. Then alumni Ms. Connaitre Miller, 79, played an interlude on the piano of a revised version of Jingle Bells. Treble Clef Choir, JC Choral, and the Royal Blue Jazz Band performed next followed by an interlude before Concert Choir assembled back on the risers singing Bring a Torch,” Carol of the Bells, and “Silent Night. For the finale, all the alumni joined Concert Choir in singing the Hallelujah Chorus (from The Messiah ) with former director Charles Neale leading. This ended in a standing ovation. Concert Choir then proceeded to leave, singing, “Joy To The World.” While concentrating on her music. Julie DePew. 88. plays for JC Chorale.

March 28 the Blue Jay Battalion held its seventh annual Military Ball at the Fort Riley Officer’s Club. The course of the evening consisted of socializing beginning at 6:30. which led into the introductions and opening remarks. The dinner was unique at this ball. In the past it had been a formal, sit-down dinner where a waitress brought out the food. This year, however. Major Roger Kugler, Senior Army Instructor (SAI), decided that having a buffet style dinner would satisfy more guests. This received a great number of positive remarks because the guests were able to choose from two types of meats and assorted side dishes. Colonel Burgoon, former SAI, was the evening’s guest speaker. Burgoon talked of carrying traits learned in JROTCover into a civilian life. The highlights of the evening were the promotions of Cadet Lt Col Desiree Sapp to the rank of Colonel, Cadet Captain Angelo Kellum to the rank of Major and receiving the position of battalion commander for the 87-88 school year, and Cadet Sergeant Major Roderick Jackson was promoted to the rank of Command Sergeant Major. The coronation of the battalion queen was also an exciting moment for everyone. The queen candidates were. A company's Yaritza Andujar, B company’s Rosa Vasquez, C company’s Michelle Guerrero, D company’s Stephanie Codispoti, E company’s Valerie Hatton, and Staff’s Theresa Lyles. The elected battalion queen was Yaritza Andujar. The dancing began at nine o’clock but unfortunately had to end at 10:30 because of a snow storm causing the roads to be closed. Many guests were disappointed, but the event as a whole had a very positive outcome. Kugler commented, Although the bad weather caused the ball to end shortly after 10:30, it was one of the best ones since I’ve been here. It had a very relaxed atmosphere, not like in the past when many people were so tense and rushing through it.” Tonya Lucas. 88. said,” The best part of the evening for me was that I had time to go around to my friends and mingle with them. The food was so much better this year because it was a buffet style dinner. You had a chance to choose instead of a waitress serving you.” 46 Military Ball Stephanie Brecheisen. 88. and Efrain Montemayor. 87. converse before the evening kicks off.

Junior and Senior guys show their individualism as they pose for a group picture at the first MORP Improving a reputation Administration, faculty, students make school a better place to be Cindy Wright Student Life Editor What do people think of when they hear the name Junction City? There is no doubt about what the thoughts may have been ten years ago when people heard that name. Rumors had it that there were murders every night, and that there were police dogs roaming the halls of the high school. It seems that the administration, faculty, and students had enough, though, and began to change people’s minds, this year being the year to see the most change. Ten to fifteen years ago, the school was in a state of chaos—students were rarely in classes; strangers were roaming the halls, and one year there were reported to be 16 bomb threats. All of this plus the racial riots that occurred occasionally got the administration’s attention. Something needed to be done. Home athletic and academic events were seen as “ways to get people from other towns to come here and see JCHS was not such a bad place,” said assistant principal Jim Pendarvis. The administration also encour- aged coaches and teachers to talk to students about their manners when attending extracurricular events at other schools. All of this proved to students from other schools that what they had all heard was not necessarily true. This was just the beginning of a new JCHS reputation. Now JCHS students are more or less seen as a group of students just like any other group of students. Still, they are confronted with questions such as “Are there really murders every night there?” Amy Bengtson’s favorite reply was, “Yes, it is so bad that there is a night deposit box at the funeral home.” It may be a while before people forget the past reputation. but JCHS is on the right track. The administration is not through with where they are trying to get JCHS, but they have given it their best so far. “We finally feel we are a part of things that go on around here, and the teachers are really working to see that we enjoy our high school years,” said Cindi Pratt. 87. Feature 49 50 Spring Fling Spring Fling 51 ‘Locals Only’ Dance highlights week Deb Burtnett DPS Editor Spring Fling time! All right! Gee. what are we going to do? Good question, seemed to be the only answer to that question. After much thought, decisions, disagreements, redecisions, and finally acceptance of their ideas, the Kays came up with a plan for Spring Fling ‘87—“Locals Only. The idea was to start the week off with Towel Day followed by Spring Best, Clash, Insideout Backwards Days, and ending the week with Hawaiian-Jams day before the big party. The ideas sounded good, but there was a large lack of student participation. This was only for the beginning of the week—everyone really got into it on Hawaiian-jams day—but too late folks! That was the last day of “Local’s Only! It was disappointing for the Kays but the dance livened things up. By eight o’clock that Friday night, the stage was set for partying! Bushes became toilet paper rolls, windows became tropical islands, the concession stand became a heavy nonalcoholic bar, and a lonely corner became a pool deck with belly dancers. Students won’t forget about Karle Woodward, KOLA -Q104, who brought music to strut, bend, and dance to. Speaking of strutting, didn’t Jeff Keener, 88, make an excellent Mr. White-Leg? He sure needed that Copper-Tone! Amy Beng-sten. 88, would have been a great Ms. White-Legs! Congratulations to Trisha Mathis. 87, Brenda Paquette, 87, Kenny Ring, 89, and Garry Hodges, 87, for breaking their backs limbo-ing for lies! Trisha Mathis, 87, said, I think that Spring Fling is one of the best events of the year because it’s casual and a relaxed atmosphere. Of course, one must mention that Charles Barriga. 88, can attach fish tails perfectly! Good job and enjoy your prize! Hey, maybe the hatchery is looking for a fish surgeon.. Though the week wasn’t what was expected, the party was fun. Chuck Zimmerman, 89. sent this message of thank you from the Kays, I would like to thank our sponsors for their immaculate cooperation in organizing our ideas and carrying them through for Spring Fling ‘87, Well, until next year’s, work on your tan, buy an x-ray blindfold, and practice sliding under poles so you can be a lucky winner too!

Ebony Ball changes format, but royalty continues tradition Rodney Lee DPS Editor The seventh annual Ebony Ball, sponsored by the Komomantyns. took place February 28 from 8:00 until 11:30 in the south gymnasium. In previous years, the Ball had consisted of a fashion show where the candidates for royalty, who were selected by the club members, would do a talent act, model several outfits, and answer a question about Black history, before they were considered. However, the Ebony Ball took a different turn this year, eliminating the fashion show and only having a dance. The royalty, however, was still in effect. The club members voted for the candidates by ballot. The club then voted once again for the final royalty. This year’s royalty were Frank Neely, King, the president of Komomantyns. and Veronica Hatton, Queen. Junior Prince was Eddy Barber with Junior Princess Shantelle Scott. Sophomore Prince and Princess were Tyrone Means and Robyn Domer. “The Ebony Ball has given students who never thought they would have a chance to be royalty, a chance to remember a time when they were King or Queen of a dance,” said Komomantyns sponsor Ruby Stevens. The night started off with jams provided by senior DJ's Matthew Williams, Terry Miller, Rodney Brown, and Kelvin Whisenhunt. As the evening progressed, the fellows leaning against the wall even got into the mood of the music, while others helped themselves to the two large tables of refreshments. There seemed to be quite a few people attending at the start of the Ball. However, many left during the Ball to attend the “Miss Black Awareness” program, occurring the same day at the Fort Riley NCO Club (open to the public). The Ball seemed to be a success considering 30 to 40 people showed up and 10 to 20 remained to the end.” said Ann Wells. 89 “But I enjoyed myself. 52 Ebony Ball Trma Jackson. 89.

The idea behind the show was to bring top fashions by top designers to communities that wouldn’t otherwise get to see them. “It’sa cultural enrichment thing. Students get a chance to see high fashion type design that some of them have dreamed of wearing,” said English teacher Bernice Bullard. Eunice Johnson, wife of the owner of Johnson Professional models show off current fashions at the second Ebony Fashion Fair held at JCHS. Photos by Johnson Publishing was the driving force behind the idea. This type of fashion show began in 1958. The show reached 191 communities in 1986 and in its 28 years of existence had helped sponsors raise over $23 million. In addition to being a cultural event, the December 10 show also helped provide scholarship money to students on both local and national levels. The local sponsor, the Delta Sigma Theta sorority, used its share of the proceeds from the event to sponsor a scholarship eventually awarded to Sarah Bly. Other monies from this and other shows eventually returned to communities through the National Negro College Fund. The show, available to a community in alternating years, featured professional models. The models also attended a reception following the show and visited with students interested in modeling careers. Besides Johnson Publishing, many other sponsors such as Coors and Ford contributed to make this event possible. 54 Fashion Show Fashion Show 55 The foreign student from New Zealand.

Difficultset complicates production of spring play Sandy Thurman DPS Editor Two of the most asked questions during the spring play were “Where is everyone?” and ‘‘What is that bright pink thing on stage?” Many people in the drama department, went to the auditorium to finish the set for “Gramercy Ghost during the school day. The set was one of the best and biggest built, said Lee Howe, drama coach. The crew spent the last week before the show opened doing minor repairs, for instance touch up painting and painting platforms and doors. The preliminary work of fixing floats and recovering them was done in the print shop. It took four solid weeks to put the whole set together. The set was difficult to put together because there were five working entrances and one ghost entrance. Two of the doorways were on the four foot platforms, and the French doors were on the four inch platform. All in all, the set was very complicated to build. The set was the color of geranium pink with summer sand as trim. According to Howe, the crew for “Gramercy Ghost was one of the most talented crews in many years. The crew consisted of three carpenters; Eric Powell, 87, Don Humbard, 87. and Kenny Mattingly, 87. Sandy Thurman, 87, was student director and stage manager. The person in charge of props was Kay Mueller, 87, and the person who was training for student director and was learning about props was Tiffany Sales. 89. Doug Brackney did the lights for the show. The set was built good enough not to have repairs done to it either during or before the next show. The only problem was the gels in first electric kept burning and the phone bell machine decided to quit before opening night, but it was repaired just in time, said Powell. Not only did the crew build the set, but they picked out swatches of paint, picked up lumber orders, went and bought props, delivered posters for advertising and most of all went on food runs to McDonalds for the starving stagecraft class. The crew worked on in-service days and on Good Friday which was the day the majority of the set was painted geranium pink. The paint glowed on the ceiling and on the front auditorium doors. One of the jokes about the paint was that the show didn’t have to be good because the audience wouldn’t be able to see it because the color would blind them.

The play was set in New York City’s Gramercy Park in spring of the present day. Nancy Willard (Juanita West, 87) was the play’s most ‘‘loved’’ character. After inheriting a ghost, which only she could see and hear, her life turned into a circus. She had planned to marry Parker Burnet (Kevin Shane, 87), but soon she found out that Charley Stewart (Jerry Oxley, 87) liked her and so did the ghost Nathanial Combes (Doug Jahnke, 87). Eventually, the comedy unwound and Nancy became romantically attached to Charlie. Basically it was a “fun, light comedy,” said Lee Howe the director. The attendance of the spring play was not outstanding, but it didn’t dampen the actors’ performances. “We wished there was more support from the student body. We’d feel more a part of the school if more students supported us,’’ said Doug Jahnke, 87. Kevin Shane. 87. and Juamtta West.

Prom: ‘ATouch of Class’ Prom theme and decorations prove to be a true success on May 2 Cindy D. Jones DPS Editor We wanted to come up with a theme that was good to decorate to and also would represent the class of 87,” Chad Carter. 88. said. The ideas for themes were voted on by a committee. The result was A Touch of Class. The juniors spent many hours working on Prom decorations, including job hours and weekends. Working in concession stands, selling baked goods, and other projects were a few of the fund-raisers. Actual decorating started about six days before Prom. The juniors stayed at school till about 9:00 p.m. every night planning and building props for Prom night. When students first arrived at Prom, they each walked under the arches to the check-in table. Oncethere. names were checked and the students were sent walking down a hall with roped rails and balloons inside of balloons (blue and white) floating above the rails. Then they entered the commons area. This area was where pictures were taken. There were also a few seats and lots of standing room for socializing. Then as students walked onto the arched bridges, they could see a fountain filled with gold fish. After crossing the bridges, they were once again outside. The commons area courtyard contained the DJ. This was where all those slow dances occurred. After leaving the courtyard. prom-goers walked through a dark hall filled with balloons. After exiting the hall they found out that they were inside of the cafeteria. Refreshments were served there. Then if students wanted a breath of fresh air. they just had to walk outside into the cafeteria courtyard and sit at one of the many tables. Then, when ready, they could start all over again. Most people thought that the decorations were a great success. The prom decorations were definitely A Touch of Class,’” Sandy Thurman. 87. said. The prom looked real nice. I did not even recognize the school.” Christina Wiggins. 87, said. The prom theme and decorations were a true success in the eyes of many JCHS students. 60 Prom Mike Rothfuss hammers in a stake for a fence that helped decorate the cafeteria courtyard for prom as Ron Prince looks on Photo by McSpadden Becky Chittum cuts streamers to be placed on the tables in the cafeteria for more decorations Photo by McSpadden Trying to make everything perfect.

A Touch of Class” was eventually chosen for the dance. Music was provided by Super Muzic from Topeka. Though some liked the music, Ron Prince, 88. said, The music seemed a little shaky.” The food was prepared by Swenson’s Bakery, sponsor Vickie Caldwell, Carolyn Wild’s third hour class, Elaine Dibben’s foods classes, and Rita Heller, head cook. The food that was served ranged from cake to mixed nuts and finger sandwiches, and fruit punch was also served. Although the juniors were the hosts of the prom, several faculty members, Tom Kite, Jill Buettgenbach, Max Craft, Margie Heddens, Jean Garvey, Elaine Dibben, and Lee Howe volunteered time to make sure the final touches were made before the debut. No expense was spared for those who wanted to make prom unforgettable. The renting of tuxes and the purchasing of formal gowns were a must for promgoers. Additional expenses included corsages, and boutonniers, posed pictures, tickets, and for the girls, hair and make-up appointments. For many, dinner was the most expensive part of the evening. Popular establishments were the Burgandy Room, Kennedy’s Claim, Country Club, and the Officer’s Club. This year the juniors did something special for the seniors. They planted a shrub in the court-yard of the high school in memory of the classy” seniors of 1987. Although much effort was put into making prom a success, having a good time was up to the individual. Whether one came for the first time or last, prom was considered to be an experience to be cherished for a life time. ‘l really enjoyed prom and had lots of fun, but the decorations didn’t quite match up to last year’s decorations, said Trisha Mathis, 87.

Whether it was athletics, other activities, or academics. recognition for accomplishments was plentiful. But the true test of the year was not measured just at the Awards Assembly. The true test of the year began with each student's individual efforts from day one and concluded, for seniors anyway, on graduation night. Certain groups, like the football and cross country teams had higher accomplishments than others, but the individual effort put forth by each student at JCHS was the true measure of the school’s success. 1987 AWARDS ASSEMBLY Citizenship Awards Boys State Representatives Brian Bancroft.

This is how many people visualize spending their spring breaks. For a few this was truely their break. “Texas was a blast! It was great getting away, and the change of scenery was a tremendous improvement,” Cindy Wright, 87, said. Others who spent their time in Kansas also had the sunshine and tanning oils. Even though I stayed here and soaked up the rays, I had just as much or more fun than everyone else, Rosemary Moore, 88, said. During the spring Kays Kayettes held the traditional “Spring Fling” that started on April 13. Some of the activities that went on during the week were “Towel Day, Inside-out Day, Clash Day, Dress-up Day,” and Jams Day. On April 17, they closed the Fling off with a Spring Fling Dance, where non-alcoholic and exotic drinks were served. I had a blast because my closest friends, Cheryl Westerhaus, Lisa Rose, and Meri McMillian were there. We all went out and partied hard,” said Moore. Late in April, the junior class began preparations for the Junior-Senior Prom. A Touch of Class was held on May 2 in the commons area and the courtyard of the school. The junior class presented the senior class with a shrub planted in the courtyard. As the crowd began to fade away, everyone realized that this night was truly a Touch of Class. “All around I had a good time, but I wish they could have played better music, said Wright, and the gazebo was great. As spring began to fade away and summer started to roll in, there was Senior Graduation. This took place May 26, in the North Gymnasium. For everyone involved it was a happy but sad time. At the beginning of my senior year I couldn’t wait for this day to come. But now that it’s here, I have to admit that I’m not quite as confident as I thought I would be about facing the world,” said Shawna Schmidt, 87. Now dreams can become reality.

These tests have renewed public interest in the quality of education. This renewed public interest put some added pressure on schools to provide a good education. At JCHS the math department felt some of the pressure. In November a KMCT protest was given to the students of JCHS. The results from this protest were all but impressive. In the math area, only 33.4 percent of the sophomores passed the test. 51.1 percent of the junior, and 61.6 percent of the seniors. When asked who was to blame for the low scores. B R Wells. Math department head, replied. “The low scores are probably blamed on the math department but should also be blamed on the students.” Regardless of who is to blame, the administration took action on the whole student body. All of the teachers in the math department were required to write practice questions for the KMCT. From January 27 through March 17. all students, teachers and administrators who did not have an organization or club meeting during activity period worked on the designated objectives for that week The practice questions prepared by the math department plus reading questions written by other departments were used during these study sessions. “The overall effect of the KMCT testing will eventually prove to be good if they require them to graduate.” Wells said Many people would agree with Wells if they were to associate consequences with these tests. D D Galloway and Joseph Ring discover that working in pairs can be a good way to better understand math assignments.

Probably not very far since everyone was somehow involved in business in some area of their life. At JCHS there were approximately 500 students who were trying to keep up with the high-tech business trends by enrolling in courses offered by the business department. The courses that were taught ranged from typing I, which was designed to develop basic skills in typewriting, up to the Business Intership Program which was designed for students who wanted to learn successful ways to function in the world of work. The business equipment was constantly improving to help work processes become more efficient, better quality, and best of all. faster. This year, the business department received a lab of business computing equipment in Verl Case's room. Also, electronic typewriters were handed down from Case to Jan Morris. New equipment seemed to heighten the students' interest and made them more motivated in class. The equipment makes hands on experience possible. The typewriters are up-to-date, which allows the students to become familiar with the latest trends. said Jimmie Cosby. New and up-to-date equipment also allowed students more usage which gave a student a better understanding of how the equipment worked. The teachers in the business department felt that business courses were important to high school students because they would be helpful in later life. People are employed in some aspects of business more than any otherfield. Ourcourses help prepare students for positions needing business expertise, said Case. Many of our business students have made a career out of their work which began in high school business classes, said Morris. The business department seemed very optimistic with what they taught. Morris probably spoke for all business teachers when she said, “A very rewarding part of teaching these courses is to see the students using these skills in their employment and life-time work.” Business teacher Verl Case directs Darin Pelf rey's. 87. attention to the assignment on the board.

Bill Schnackenburg. who taught biology, developed a nine weeks class entitled Life Before Birth. He also incorporated a unit on rape in to this class. Schnackenburg's favorite units to teach were Life Before Birth and Perspectives on Death. He had done something unique for these two classes; he had written the text for them. I feel that students get more out of the text. Most of the books areoutdated and not in plain understanding for the students.” said Schnackenburg. In Life Before Birth. students were able to see a variety of films, some of which one might say were gory”, but yet they received the most attention. Through films, students were able to see the actual delivery of a baby through the normal process and the Cesarean section. Students were also able to see five different abortions performed. Schnackenburg also showed several films on veneral disease. These films answered the majority of the student’s questions, but some had different reactions. Depending on the students’ frame of mind, some faint or get sick. Perspectives on Death was another unit dealing with modern issues. Schnackenburg tried covering the perspectives of death from all aspects. The biological, economic, and the options one has such as the types of funerals, and the costs of one. Students have the opportunity to go to the funeral home twice. During these trips, they were informed of the steps someone must go through when a person has passed away. Students were shown how to make the funeral arrangements, the paper work one must complete, and choosing the casket and clothes for the deceased. The embalmment is only shown to the students through the types of instruments which are used and instruction on how it is performed. 78 Science Othel Gregory. 89 and Rolan Wilson. 89. look on as Sharon Boyd. 89. disects a frog in Don Hettinger’s biology class.

But not Ted Ludlum’s students. For a week in his class, students got to live in the 1500's as part of a crew of a Portuguese cargo ship. This was a computerized simulation of the discovery and exploration of land. Each crew left Portugal looking for land, but did not know where to go Moving from square to square (on a grid), they ran into fierce pirates, enemy ships, storms, and eventually land. After finding land, whether it was an island or a continent, students claimed the land for Portugal. Then they had to decide either to explore the coast of the newly found land or to explore the land itself. The three main people were the Captain, the log keeper, and the navigator. The Captain had to make all of the major decisions and run the crew The log keeper had to keep account of where they had been and what they had gone through. The navigator, who kept the map. was essentially the most important person on the ship. Each day the students were allowed to take turns playing these parts. “Students enjoyed this activity, and they were very creative, Ludlum said. American History was not the only class with interesting activities. In Max Craft’s Psychology II classes, students went on a number of field trips to the Valley Vista Care Center. Students were able to spend time with mentally disabled people. They learned that these people have real emotions. The students learned to communicate with the disabled. In Sociology, another of Craft’s classes, students had the chance to perform a mock wedding. This year, Vanda Johnson and Brad Scholz. and Larry Forsyth and Cheryl Westerhaus were married. Students went through the process of planning the wedding as part of the Love, Courtship. Marriage, and Family unit. Dean Zellers. American History teacher, lectures to his class.

What you have just seen is part of the JCHS Foreign Language Department’s effort to make the community aware of the importance of foreign languages. There are several reasons why foreign language study is important. Knowledge of a second language is becoming increasingly beneficial in many careers and often can lead to future economic and social rewards. Research has also shown that students who have taken a foreign language score higher on the SAT and the ACT than do students who haven’t taken a foreign language. Collette Matthews, French teacher at JCHS, feels that foreign language study is important to the students in the Fort Riley-Junction City area. “We live in such a multi-cultural community. There are at least 30 nationalities represented in the Junction City-Fort Riley area. Living so close to Fort Riley, students whose parents have been stationed in foreign countries know what a Working diligently, Robert Wilson. 88. looks over a German II worksheet Photo by Copeland Concentrating on his test-taking abilities. Brian Thompson. 89. prepares for an exam during Sam Shamburger's class Photo by Copeland difference a foreign language can make; they know the doors that a foreign language can open,” Matthews stated. The foreign language classes at JCHS served two main purposes. First, they exposed students to cultures other than their own, and helped achieve a greater level of awareness to these culture?. Secondly, the classes taught students to read, write, speak, and understand the language so th?t they became proficient in it. Much emphasis was put on Foreign Language Week, which was March 1-7. Students at JCHS made buttons, posters, painted store window?, wore foreign language T-shirts, and taught mipi lessons in a foreign language to various classe?. There was even a French breakfast held in the cafeteria. The foreign language teachers at JCHS felt that the way to make people aware of the importance of foreign languages was to celebrate during Foreign Language Week. Most of the teachers were pleased with student participation during the week. Many of the students were highly motivated and committed to make the week a success. Although there was a lot of hard work involved, most felt that it was worth it. 82 Foreign Language Foreign Language 83 Wikiki Dawson, 87. and Jerry Cooper. 87, prepare for a test in Spanish class.

The acting class and stagecraft class made plans for new shows and sets. The acting class had to rehearse for two shows each day except on Wednesday when they had a workshop. The students learned more about the aspects of acting such as discipline, self confidence, responsibility, and team work. They played a game called “Bus Stop where one person tried to break the others actors character. It was required of each student to participate in the children's play or in the melodrama. It teaches the student character discipline. said Lee Howe, drama coach. The stagecraft class, known for being laid back and a place to relax before going home, was very busy. They built sets for the musical. They worked weekends and at night after short rehearsals. The class also set up for music concerts, the Yuletide Festival, and some of the class had a chance to work with the Jack Daniels Silver Coronet band, as well as the spring play. In the stagecraft class, many students enjoyed working with the lights. Working with the lighting gives you more responsibility and a chance to work closely with others, said Billy Reed, 87. The Children’s Theatre The Clown Who Ran Away was about a clown who ran away from a circus and met up with a lion and both saved the day by rescuing Mr. Frumpkin’s dolls from Rudolph Bernard Boo and his servant Ugly.

The melodrama The Belle of Bisbee, which was also done by the acting class, was about a hero who tried to save a school from the villain so the town could be educated. The all school melodrama Zorro’s back in town” was about a wimpy guy who had read about a fictional Zorro and tried to bring the character from the book alive. The spring play Grammercy Ghost, set was built by the stagecraft II class, but not many got a chance to work backstage during the show because there were no scene changes. Only a prop mistress, curtain puller, and a student director stage manager were needed. While up in the light booth three people were needed-one to run the board and the other two to work the spotlights. The stagecraft class also had a chance to work during a live band concert for the Jack Daniels Band. Some of the students planned to use their talent for backstage work on the college and professional level while others did it for fun. Melodramas gave the ever-popular stage crew one more chance to work on sets and scenery. Although there really wasn’t much to the sets, it was a lot of hard work to change them six times in one day. The drama departments’ 1986-87 year was very busy, especially for the stage crew and actors who managed to get a part, whether it was a major or minor role.

Drama 85 Using their talents English teachers prove that skills and abilities pay off Dana Eddy Co-editor-in-chief Have you ever wondered why you had to study sentence structure or the various types of paragraph organization in English class? Does it ever seem useless to you? Well, several English teachers at JCHS are proving that grammar skills are useful tools in their writing also. English teacher Deanna Tressin gained local attention from a play she wrote, titled “Jacob’s Ladder. This one-act production takes place in early 1900 Kansas, and according to Tressin, catches the frustration of a woman in conflict with her husband, Jacob, who thinks only of his land, money, and the future. Molly, his wife, on the other hand, realizes the need to enjoy life now and to see that her two children, Andrew and Amy, have pleasures today. These pleasures are the need for nice clothes and an education, both of which Jacob scorns as unnecessary for a boy and a girl who will grow up to work the land and raise a family. Jacob, a good but stubborn man, must listen to his wife’s advice about living for now, so she pulls up his rope ladder when he goes into the cistern to clean it. Thus he becomes a captive audience as she talks to him. But before she lets him come up. he must sign an I.O.U. promising to buy his daughter a new dress, send his son to Kansas State Agriculture College at Manhattan, buy her a new stove, and buy the church new pews and hymn books. Tressin decided to write the play after taking a playwriting course at Kansas State University one summer. There, she recalled, I wanted a grade.” Jacob’s Ladder took her 3 1 2 weeks to write, and one problem that she faced was finding a good title. However, she believed that Jacob’s Ladder” was perfect because it refers to the biblical climb to heaven and also to the rope ladder which has an important role in her play. The play has been performed at Kansas State University and as a dinner theter production of the Junction City Little Theater. Tressin felt that the public enjoyed Jacob’s Ladder, because The audience laughed when it was supposed to. so I guess they liked my play, said Tressin. Tressin has also had poems and educational articles published. Other teachers at JCHS also had success with their writing. Marianne Wilcox had a short story appearing in the Kansas Journal.” Kevin and Lynn Butler, also English teachers at JCHS, compiled a booklet about aerospace for use in elementary through secondary education. So the next time you take another test over sentence structure, just think about your English teachers who are putting their knowledge to use in their own writing.

The classes provided the basics in English, math, social studies, history, science, and government. Reading and study skills classes as well as Vocational careers classes were made available to Inter Related Classes students. Vocational careers classes, according to Tom Curl, IRC instructor, allow IRC students to learn employment skills in a program designed especially for their needs.” Henry Martinez. 87. works on a typing assignment.

IRC classes were taught in a different atmosphere than regular classes. They were much smaller in size to offer a more individualized educational program. There were seldom more than ten students in a class. The minimal number of students in the classroom allowed much more time for individual tutoring. Tutoring is provided in one-on-one situations as well as small group sessions,” said Kathy McLaughlin, IRC instructor. 88 IRC Cindy Craig. 87, experiments with computer programming Photo by Copeland Michelle May. 87. works diligently on a homework assignment.

In Art I. students are taught the basics such as drawing skills, painting, three dimensional drawing, and print making. In Art II and III the students work on individual projects. One of the projects that Matthews likes to teach and students enjoy is pottery. Students also enjoy working on silk screening and making jewelry. One of the biggest advantage students have when taking Art II and Art III is that they are able to work on individual projects. The students work at their own pace on their projects. Some even enter into contests which Matthews announces to them. Last year Steve Nelsen, 87, entered the Ft. Hayes Halloween Program Cover Contest and received first prize for his entry. This year there is another talented young man who is entering a Rolling Stones album cover contest. Teddy Calvert. 89, has had an interest in art since the sixth grade. Calvert is designing the album cover. Calvert was motivated to do this project one day when he drew a picture of a body without a head. I have difficulties drawing faces so I have decided to have this invisible man headless,” he stated. The cover itself will have “The Rolling Stones” printed on it with the invisible man pointing at a marque with a black background to emphasize the invisible man. The three prizes which will be awarded are first place receives three LPs, second place two LPs. and third place one LP Does Calvert consider himself to be an artist? “No, I don’t consider myself to be an artist because I always see someone else’s work as better than mine.” Nor does Calvert have any interest in pursuing art as a career for himself. He prefers to choose this as his hobby. The Rolling Stones’ album cover contest isn’t the first contest that Calvert has entered. During his freshmen year, he was assigned to make a drawing of a hand. His art teacher was impressed with his work and sent it off. I‘ placed third in the contest.

Bob Bartlett's top carpentry class worked on building a house. They began at the start of the first nine weeks and continually worked on it until the end of May. when it was sold. Lamont Godsey’s Drafting III class also had a major project of the year. At the start of the first semester, they began working on model homes. It usually took just over one whole semester to complete them, but this year there was a problem with materials, and it wasn’t until March that the first of eight houses was completed. When all houses were finished, they were then displayed in the library and put to contest. Every Friday. Auto Mechanics had a shop activity. One of these was bringing their cars in and performing preventive maintenance tests. Auto mechanics also set up appointments to look at faculty and other student cars to fix minor problems. “I thought it would be useful to have knowledge of automotive repair for the future.” said Jeff Cunningham. 88. “That's why I decided to take the class.” Woodworking also had projects of various things. Students enrolled could make anything from a bread box to a waterbed. They then got to keep these projects after grading had been done. All of these classes along with metals offered experience and opportunity for the development of a future career. These classes also gave students a common knowledge of a variety of skills, something that could be useful in many ways for the future.

P.E. consists of a number of diverse classes, from which students can choose the ones most beneficial to them. There are 18 optional P.E. classes. Some of the class options are P.E. Concepts. Team Games. Rec. Games. Strength and Quickness. Girls Weight Training, Stress Management, and Life Time Fitness. We offer a variety of courses in order to help students achieve life time fitness.’’ Coach Carl Taylor said. P.E. Concepts is the only required course. The class consists of health and skill related activities in which students study and exercise flexibility, muscles, the cardiovascular system, and body composition. Students also learn about the care of the back posture, and coordination. By the end of the semester, the students are tested on reaction time, power, and speed, then compared to the times taken at the start of the semester. “The purpose of the P.E. classes is to get students in shape and to help them feel good about themselves. Coach Buck Gibson said. To achieve the goal to become physically fit takes determination and hard work. The saying applies to everyone. He who feels no pain achieves . no gain.

Photo by Lee Learning whiledoing Close-knit staff leads to improved newspaper Cindy Jones DPS Editor Close friends? Yes, that’s what most of the people on the newspaper staff considered themselves. An overall opinion was that this was the best JCHS staff in a long time. The newspaper staff has learned how to have fun, but yet get the job done. We’re making improvements with every issue and have learned responsibility, said Becky Pendarvis. 88 The staff included 17 people, only 3 of whom had previous high school newspaper experience. Tom Kite, sponsor, was also new This was his first year working with a newspaper staff. Even though JCHS had mostly new members on the newspaper staff, the overall opinion was that they still produced an excellent paper It's a more exciting paper, said Amy Kidd. 88. It took nine weeks for the staff to produce the first newspaper. They then produced three more papers in the second quarter. Starting in the second semester, the staff was given a two week deadline schedule. Meeting deadlines was not fun and games. The least favorite parts of working on the staff included putting the papers together, doing the research, making interviews, getting stories edited, and most of all having to rewrite stories. The main goal of the staff was to make the paper more enjoyable. To do this, many of the stories were written from a feature rather than news angle. Also, stories appealing to students on more modern issues were written. Some featured stories were teen sex. teen pregnancy, and children of divorce. Becky Pendarvis, 88. wrote about teen sex. I'm gladthat I got the opportunity to write about this important topic that should be dealt with. Hopefully it will help students and parents deal with teenage sexuality better,” Pendarvis said. The JCHS newspaper was a paper for enjoyment, a paper on current events, a paper that concerned us all.

The reason for the slow start was the fact that out of 29 staffers, only 6 of those had any previous journalism experience at all. The year also brought a new journalism instructor. Tom Kite. “This year is my first year in journalism and Mr. Kite is always patient and helps me with my stories when I need it. He knows what he’s doing, said Trisha Mathis. 87. Much work went into the making of the yearbook. First, layouts were drawn to perfection and photo requests made. Story writing and captions were a couple of the dreaded aspects of the class, but it had to be done Selling advertisements to finance the book was also a major job of the staffers Without proper financing, the 87 yearbook would have been impossible. In the first stages of preparing the book, the creative staffers had many great ideas. Un- fortunately. the best idea, of acetate sheets in the cover, was rejected by the plant. Sixteen yearbook and newspaper students participated in the Kansas Scholastic Press Association (KSPA) regional contest at Kansas State. Two students qualified for state in yearbook categories. Cindy Jones, 87, received a second place finish in the cutline writing category, while Melanie Taylor. 87, received two second place finishes in the theme development graphics category, and the layout double page spread category. Taylor went on to place second in layout double page spread at the state contest held in Lawrence. Students enrolled in the yearbook class for many different reasons. It’s an interesting change from newspaper, which I’ve taken for three years now. said Cindi Pratt. 87. Other things people enjoyed about the class were sometimes off the wall, but fun, such as doughnut runs, gossiping, or throwing rubber cement booger-balls at each other. Many people think of the yearbook staffers as one big happy family, which makes class time seem much more pleasant and enjoyable. 98 Yearbook Sandra Thurman. 87. plans her picture paste-up Photo by Jeffrey Fourth hour yearbook staff Front Row Christina Wiggins (DPS editor).

Now let’s boogie down the flow to plan side.” It all means something, but what? And to whom? All this jargon is simple shop talk to debaters. In the early fall, the debaters scurried to gather evidence, attend workshops, and attend practice sessions. They combed handbooks to help them argue for or against their agricultural topic. All of their busy work paid off as JC walked away with the sweepstakes award from the Saint Mary’s Novice Tournament. These novice debaters were juniors Pat Banes, Carlos Molina. Jon Holmgren, and Jay Gooldy. Debate was not all hard work but in fact some fun. “Overnighters would definitely have to be the most fun,” said Sean Lancaster, 88. ...we would call other teammates and give them a wake up call at 1:00 a m. Everyone was showered and ready to go about five hours early.” Toward the end of first semester, the debate team named the debater of the year. Chip Robertson, 88, won the honorfor his placingsall season. Then it was time to turn to a lighter side, forensics. Forensics is more of one-on-one competition, not a team effort like debate, Holmgren said. The forensicators did very well as a team. Most everyone made it to either the state championship contest or the state speech festival. At the state championships, only two forensicators came home with a top placing. Charles Barriga and Sean Lancaster, both juniors, received a sixth place award in Improvised Duet Acting. Each of the four contestants sent to the state speech festival came home with one rankings. Michelle Bragg, 88, received a first ranking in poetry and a second in prose. Chris Carlson, 87, and David Kent, 89, both received ones in poetry, and Cindi Pratt, 87. placed first in solo dramatic acting. Forensicators let loose during the final nine weeks, said Robertson. Our best time was probably the first annual debate forensics camping trip.” Overnighters in Kansas City were probably my favorites. said Gooldy, like the time Cindi (Pratt) faked being deaf at the mall and hotel. It was especially funny when some farmer-types tried to hand a line to her and Kathy Greer. Cindi looked at them puzzled and started to sign at Kathy. I’m surprised they didn't bust up.” End of the year awards were given to Ken McRae, 88, for forensicator of they year, Charles Barriga for best actor of the year, and Michelle Bragg for her poetry reading. After the team’s season was over, they still had work to do in class, like the end of the year legacy cuttings and acts. 100 Debate-Forensics Getting into the thick of things, debaters Cindi Pratt. 87; Jay Gooldy. 88.

Debate-Forensics 101 More than recruiting JROTC teaches patriotism, leadership, citizenship Christina Wiggins DPS Editor Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps (JROTC) was more than just a class; it went beyond teaching the history of the army. It taught good citizenship and patriotism. There is a great deal of misconception in JROTC Many students think that they are being recruited for the regular army. In actuality, they are taught patriotism, citizenship and leadership, SFC John Rosa said. There were three levels taught in JROTC: introduction to leadership development. Military Science I (M S.I), which taught each cadet the basic military skills. The subjects which were taught were leadership, oral communications, marksmanship, firstaid. map reading, and drill and ceremonies. This course developed self-reliance, leadership, and responsiveness to constituted authority in each cadet. Next there was intermediate leadership development. M S. II. This course provided cadets with intermediate levels of knowledge in leadership development. The subjects areas were taught at an advanced level. Oral and written communications and self discipline were emphasized. Usually at this level cadets assumed leadership positions. Finally, the last course was applied leadership development, M S. III. This provided the cadets an opportunity for advanced leadership development. The subjects which were taught were the same as M.S. I and M.S. II with emphasis placed on application of leadership principles and development in oral and written communication. Many of the cadets who were selected for leadership positions were responsible for the operation of the Cadet Battalion. The Blue Jay Battalion was structured the same as the regular army. The battalion staff consisted of a Battalion Commander, Cadet Colonel Desiree Sapp who was in charge of the Blue Jay Battalion. “Desiree is an outstanding battalion commander. She is very organized, conscientious, h s the ability to work with people and communicate with them. They (cadets) know what she expects of them. She has all the leadership principles and traits it takes to run the battalion. She also gets a great deal of support from the staff, said Maj. Roger Kugler, Senior Army Instructor. Sapp was the second female battalion commander and the first black battalion commander. How did Sapp feel about her position? As far as being the second female commander, I feel it's about time. I opened a lot of doors by becoming the second female commander. Now as for being the first black commander, I never thought about it. There is no discrimination when it comes time for receiving a leadership position. It is. however, an accomplishment for me. I enjoy the staff that I have and the two instructors. SFC. Rosa and Maj. Kugler, Sapp responded with a bit of laughter in her voice. The Executive Officer, Cadet Lieutenant Colonel Christopher Carlson, worked directly with the battalion commander. The Sergeant Major of the battalion, Cadet Command Sergeant Major Roderick Jackson, was in charge of all enlisted matters. The S-1. Cadet Major Christina Wiggins, was in charge of all administration work. The S-2, Cadet Major Michele Kelly, was in charge of all publicity. The S-3, Cadet Lieutenant Colonel Steve Osborne, was in charge of all training. The S-4. Cadet Major Theresa Lyles, was in charge of supply. There were also two special assistants, Cadet 2LT. Vanessa Archie, assistant to the S-1 and Cadet Master Sergeant Marc Guillory. JROTC had only one major fund raiser throughout the school year. The JROTC sold Christmas ornaments and raised the usual average of $2000. The money was used for the military ball, drill team equipment, and competitions which included marksmanship, color guard, and drill team. JROTC also sponsored a blood drive, April 16. for the Red Cross. Cadets volunteered to get students to sign up during both lunches and schedule them for when they were able to donate. Other cadets volunteered to help out with the typing, passing out the refreshments, and coaching students on while they were donating blood. With intense concentration.

What if I don’t know what to do? What if the baby has an accident? What if no one is around to help? What if... Many people have asked similar questions when they were thinking of becoming a parent. Some people planned for parenthood. One way to plan at JCHS was to take the Preparation for Parenthood class. Students learned many different things about becoming a parent and about what to do after the baby has arrived. They learned the basics, such as feeding, bathing, changing diapers, and dressing babies. But they also learned how to treat children. This class also taught students how children really do feel and how their moods change. Most people have very positive attitudes about becoming parents after taking the class. Some, who didn’t plan on becoming parents, even learned something in the class. They said that when they were baby sitting or when their friends’ children were around, they knew how to handle it better. “It’s stuff that everybody will use at one time or another,” Elaine Dibben, Preparation for Parenthood teacher, said. Learning about becoming a parent was not the only topic taught in the class. Students also learned about discipline of children, how to prevent child abuse, day care, fetal development, labor and delivery, sexually transmitted diseases, and choices after becoming pregnant. For a week, the students had eggs, which they treated like a real child. This was to teach them responsibility. All in all, everyone who took Preparation for Parenthood received a little bit of experience that might help them in their future. The students and the parents of the babies are all relieved that their hard work is over Photo by Jeffrey 104 Home Economics Concentrating on every move. K.C. Smith. 88. puts a diaper on a baby.

Darin Pelfrey Photo by McSpadden A new beginning After 15 years, Hogan chooses change, leaves JCHS Susan McSpadden DPS Editor When asked why he decided to leave JCHS, band director Norman Hogan replied, “Change is good for the soul! Hogan, who had been with JCHS for fifteen years, decided to devote himself completely to the beginning areas of band. He will be teaching at Eisenhower, Washington, and Westwood elementary schools along with JCJHS where he will be working with beginning and jazz band. For the past few years, Hogan had worked with elementary school students in addition to his high school duties and had enjoyed it immensely. Hogan commented, “Beginning band is really the heart of the whole matter of improving the band program. Good playing habits and attitudes start at that level. Band students were told of Hogan’s plans to move on in the middle of the school year. If his students were affected by the news, they didn’t show it. Instead, they worked for excellence in all their remaining musical endeavors. Parents, faculty, and students, who had faithfully supported the band program, felt that the “Music in our Schools (MIOS) concert and the State Music Contest were the band’s greatest accomplishments of the year. Concert band members spent practices perfecting Shadow Mountain Kaleidoscope,” and Intrusions. These selections were performed at the annual MIOS concert. Hogan felt they did an excellent job. Those numerous practices paid off at the State Music Contest held at JCHS in which bands from around the state participated. The Junction City concert band received a 1 rating for their performance of “Intrusions. Hogan expressed his appreciation to all the band members for their support of their school and its organizations, their enthusiasm during the sports season, and especially their dedication to band. What aspect of band did Hogan hope students would continue to improve upon after he had gone? I hope they build on the idea that every performance, no matter how insignificant it seems to be, must be played with enthusiasm and commitment, Hogan said. 4 Ron Moon. 87. Rob Gratz. 89.

Music program has places for all players in any category Deb Burtnett DPS Editor If you were interested in music as a profession or just as a hobby, then being a part of the JCHS musical program was the place for you. There were many different classes to participate in. The ones directed by Charles Volland were Concert Choir, JC. Chorale, and Treble Clef Choir. The ones led by Ramona Printz were Survey of Music. Music Theory. Keyboard (piano and organ), and Guitar. Only two groups called for tryouts. They were the Concert Choir, a select group of mixed voices (soprano, alto, tenor, and bass) that performed in the four major concerts each year (the Fall, Yuletide, Music in our Schools, and Spring Choral Awards concerts), and in the Say it With Music production. The other musical group was JC Chorale, a dancing and singing group that performed at the major concerts and for manycommunity groups. This group sang popular music and was a part of the regional and state music festivals The Treble Clef Choir performed in the major concerts, and was open to any student. Printz's classes were also open to anyone, though she said. Any student who wishes to practice every day (may join). A lot of practice is necessary.” The keyboard and guitar classes had three recitals a year and every February was the State Piano Festival. So remember, if your shower stall voice is bearable, let others hear. It can be the start of a successful career if you practice hard. 108 Keyboard and Choir Concert Choir Front Row: Arlene Helmke.

One thing was the microfisch system, another one was the teacher recognition, and last was “The Blue Jay Gallery. The microfisch system was a resource that gleaned over 300 newspapers. It could be called a newsbank. The teacher recognition were pictures of teachers who were in the military. These were put in the window of the faculty office. The Blue Jay Gallery was an art exhibition hall for the use of both teachers and students who wished to display any interesting articles or collections. It could concern some school activity or be a private hobby. There was a security display case installed after Christmas. The Blue Jay Gallery was held in the foyer of the library. A group of people got together and decided to put something in the library, and they thought about the Blue Jay Gallery. The main developersof the idea were Naldi Dennis, Glee Eggers. Lee Howe, and Norman Matthews. The idea was to branch out. to get new ideas involved, and mostly to get people involved. Next year we hope to involve more students in displaying their collections.” Dennis said. Three competitions were involved in this gallery. They were the Best Pet Photo, the Oldest Comic Book, and the Best Geometric Design. Prizes were given out to the winners. The Best Pet Photo consisted of a picture of any sort of pet. The pictures could either be black white or colored. The size of the pictures was 5 x7 . This lasted from January 5 to January 9. The prize for the second competition was for the Oldest Comic Book. The oldest comic book in the United States is now worth over $10,000 The main purpose of it was for people to bring in their oldest comic book, and the oldest there won the prize. This lasted from February 9 to February 13. The last Blue Jay competition was based on geometric design and allowed students to demonstrate their creativity in color and design. This lasted from March 30 to April 3. The English Gift Wrapping Paper was the very first exhibition. It lasted from October 20 to October 31. Dennis was the one who sponsored this exhibition. “Whenever I go to England. I like to visit the Cathedrals where you can have lunch in the cloisters and visit the tour shop. They always have gift wrapping paper which looks more like posters. I have been collecting these for a number of years,” Dennis said. “And etc... was another exhibition in the Blue Jay Gallery. It mostly consisted of science fiction books that were in a series. The “And etc... was sponsored by Eggers. the librarian. It lasted from November 17 to November 26. Many authors were writing sequls to their books. This was a trend which really took off in science fiction fantasy books. “I thought students might be interested in seeing some of the books we have in series. Eggers said. Another one of the exhibitions shown at the gallery was the Early American Firearm Replicas. It was the second to the last exhibition. “When I was a little kid. I always watched Davey Crockett and liked the flintlock gun he had. I always wanted to build one, and so that’s how I got interested in it.” Matthews said. He built the models of the Early American Firearms. They were built just like the old kind. The Munute Man Rifle. Kentucky Rifle, Kentucky Pistol, and the Civil War Revolver were the firearms in the exhibition. The last exhibition of the year was the International Exhibition. Counselor Ken Willey was the one who sponsored this exhibition It lasted from May 18 to May 29. I work a lot with ELS kids and also because there’s a lot of different cultures that would be interesting to get involved with is the reason I got involved with it, Willey said. Korean students got together and brought some clothes and other things from their culture. Other cultures were involved in this too. Library aides Front row Dawn Peterson. Angie Patterson.

Juniors seemed to want Joe Beck’s history class fourth hour, which was also located right next to the door, which made it easier to get to the front of the Pinata line before the rest of the lunch crowd. Seniors’ favorite was Deanna Tressin’s College Bound English IV. For sophomores, making out their schedule was a new thing, and this trick had not been perfected yet, so there really wasn’t “a popular class” for fourth hour. But this custom was not to last for long, because of new computer scheduling plan going into effect at JCHS. Students will no longer over populate these two traditionally taken classes. ‘The kids will pick the classes they want, then the computer will assign them classes. They’ll pick everything except the hour and the teacher, similar to the way the junior high presently does their scheduling.” said Counselor Bus Stromgren. So apparently the tradition of taking a favorite second lunch class will come to a screeching halt. It’s been real, Mr. Beck!

Work vs. Play Student-athletes excel Becky Penn Co-editor-in-chief It’s true that all study and no play make Jack and Jill dull people. That’s why many students at JCHS chose to play, play the 13 varisty sports or participate in the off-season weight training program offered to students during the year. These student-athletes competed as teams or individuals against other schools around the state. Besides countless hours of practice and training, state law required all high school athletes to pass at least four classes to be eligible to compete, and often coaches had much stricter standards. These special people learned to handle the pressure of both competition and day-to-day student life. Congratulation, athletes, JCHS is proud of you. £.2 « § TJ — b If) S) QJ jz •- « E O $ r? £ txoii co s £-§1 C O o -a ' - Cr (M go .. £ v © -a 1 r w b .. - 3 CO. cz .

As the Blue Jays burst through the paper-covered hoop, the band started to play, and the crowd went wild. The season started off well, with the score in the first game the same as from the previous year; the Blue Jays defeated Kansas City. Schlagle 33-0. The coaches had a chance to see how their J.V. played against a varsity. The second game of the season was a blow-out. defeating the Garden City Buffalos 46-8. The Blue Jays were hot. Beating Great Bend and Salina Central in the next two games. Homecoming rolled around, and it was time for the Blue Jays to clash helmets with theTopeka High Trojans. Result? Blow-out! The Jay’s racked up 40 points in the first quarter and cruised to a 40-22 victory. Finally, the night everyone had been waiting for. The date? October 31. The rivalry, Manhattan! The Blue Jay’s quest? Return the silver trophy and advance on to the playoffs! It seemed every ghost came out of the stadium that night, with Manhattan scoreless both halves. The Blue Jays went on for a victory, 35-0! But after the big win over Manhattan, the Jays hit a low point. Against Topeka West, everything went wrong, even the weather. But since Manhattan won their game that night, that automatically put the Jays in the play-offs. In advancing all the way to the State game, the Jays defeated Wichita North 42-0 and the Hutchinson Salt-Hawks 36-7. The Jays were State bound for Lawrence and KU Memorial stadium against the Lawrence Lions. The first half of the game was hard-nosed football. The Jays went into the locker-room with a 7-0 lead But as the second half progressed, {he score drifted further apart with Lawerence coming out on top, 20-7. Head Coach Ron Hill said, “A lot of the success of this year’s team has to go to the seniors. They provided excellent leadership and demonstrated what Junction City football is all about The sign in the dressing room reads. ‘Remember who you are.’ This team certainly did just that! They have set a standard of play for all of the future JCHS teams to live up to.” All in all. the Blue Jays had a successful season. They took second in state, defeated Manhattan, and returned the silver trophy. They played well in the play-offs, only allowing 7 points to be scored on them in the regional and sub-state games while outscoring their opponents by 78 points. But now. the crowd has left, the lights are out. the excitement has blown away, the band has packed up and left, and the Blue Jays and fans have all gone home. It's the end of the football season and the cold nights in the stands. But a true Blue Jay didn’t forget that this was the best year of all!!!

Well they must have scared the Manhattan Indians. The game of the year between the two rival teams. Manhattan and Junction City, took place on Friday. October 31. Halloween night. As the adrenalin rose high, the Blue Jays sought a great outcome, but even though they were optimistic. no one expected a 35-0 victory after nine consecutive defeats. The hard work and dedication paidoff as the Blue Jays scalped the Indians. The rivalry between the two teams started with the first game in 1913. The games were exciting yet they weren’t always fun. Fighting between the teams often broke out in bad sportsmanship. Because of the fighting through the years, a silver trophy was presented to the winner of the two teams each year. The trophy, which was to symbolize sportsmanship, has been traveling between both towns since 1949. when it was first presented. The overall series record, including the 1986 game, is 28 wins for Junction. 38 wins for Manhattan. Determination and enthusiasm were words that describe the game. The offense played well, scoring 28 points and rushing for over 332 yards. Mike Williams. 88. rushed 172 yards including a 74 yard touchdown. The defense also had a successful night by making three interceptions, two by Ricky Jefferson. 87. and one which scored a touchdown, by Brian Clark. 87. Although heavy rains fell in the fourth quarter, the Blue Jays continued to pull through, while the band, pep club, families and friends cheered them on. “The curse if finally broken and avenged after nine years.” said John Colbert. 88. Everyone was silent and serious the week of the game. They prepared hard and got the attitude to win.

He felt the J.V. team was successful because the team executed really well; the sophomores had played offense and defense for two years (including their freshmen year), and the juniors that played J.V. had played offense and defense longer. This experience helped the team to be successful. There were many players who were varisty material for the next year. Coach Conwell explained. “It’s natural progression of the program; first you play sophomore—then J.V.—then varsity.” The team got along exceptionally well, especially since the J.V. team didn’t practice with each other during the week of a J.V. game They would pull together and help each other out come game time. The J.V. program was benefical to the varisty team, because it the juniors and sophomores didn’t play varsity a chance to play against someone other than themselves. thus gaining experience| needed to play varsity. According to Conwell. the best| game was against Manhattan. The final score was 8-7; it was a mud bowl in Manhattan High Stadium. Manhattan scored first in the first half. The Jays didn't score until latel in the last half. The defense was1 strong through out the whole game. The reason Conwell felt this was the best game was because whenever J.C. beat Manhattan in Manhattan they have accomplished something. And the highlight of the year was the over-all effort against Manhattan. The future of the J.V. program looks real strong.’’ according to Coach Conwell. 120 Football Senior running back Max Divine holds on to the ball as hejs stopped by a Wichita North Redskin.

Photo by Carter 4 Future stars Talent, experience lead to five wins Susan McSpadden DPS Editor Coach Bobby Whitten felt he was blessed with an excellent group of sophomore football players. Most of them came from the same winning team in junior high, which helped form the basis for a winning high school team. The players used their talent, confidence, and unity throughout the season to defeat every team they met on the field with the exception of Topeka Seaman. Whitten could tell that this group had talent. They were a large group of good players who brought a positive attitude into the season. The team also had a lot of confidence. Because they had done well before and the players kept the same basic positions, they were confident with theirskillsand plays for each game. Unity has to be the most important part of a team. It takes a unified team who works well together to win football games. These guys had this quality. There were no particular leaders because everybody stuck together as a group. Some of the players who used confidence, talent and unity to their advantage were Mark Foster. Full Back; Brian Field. Half Back; Victor Brown. Half Back; Kevin Harsha. Swing Man; and Danny Jones. Quarter Back These players scored consistently for the sophomore jays Of all the games the sophomore football team played. Whitten and many team players felt the Manhattan game was the highlight of the season. The team had really looked forward to it. The team treated the rivalry game with the same emphasis as the varsity team did. During the first quarter the sophomore blue jays were losing 17-0. By the half Brown. Field, and Foster all scored to make the score 22-27. The team pressed on to make the final winning score 37-27. The team scored over forty points in two games, against Emporia and Topeka. Whitten felt this was a credit to the combination of offensive and defensive output working together to score the points. Whitten was mainly responsible for working on the team’s defense technique, but he also did a lot to boost morale and team spirit. Field said. ‘Coach Whitten was a good figure for the team to look up to because he did so well himself. He helped us a lot.” This group of sophomores sounds like they will be making a positive impact on the sport of football the rest of their high school life. Whitten said. These young men blended together well to form one of the finest sophomore teams we have ever had here at JCHS. I just hope they take what they have learned this year into next year’s performances because these guys are the future!” Plez Williams (83) is tackled by an Emporia A fumble is recovered by fullback Mark player after catching a pass Foster (33).

The team had good returning players and a knowledge of the game. Everything seemed prepared to go out and start bringing home some wins, but this was not the case to be. Though they had knowledge of and talent for the game, the returning letter winners couldn’t make the season a winning one. Senior returnees were Veronica Hatton, Lori Mclnnis. and Chris Templeton. The junior returnees were Celeste Parker and Vanda Johnson. Coach Nyla Wilson was also in her second year as coach at JCHS. On September 11, the girls won their very first match with Wilson as head coach. The team pulled together, worked hard, and won because of good team effort. The team then went on to win against Topeka High and Leaven- wortn, again due to team effort and hard work. Unfortunately, this winning streak did not last long at all. A loss to Buhler was known as their worst outing of the season. Everything fell apart because the team wasn’t prepared for the game. Coach Wilson said that the girls had the ability to win. but didn’t work together as a whole. It was also mentioned that their playing was inconsistent, for the rest of the season, inconsistency was the main tern used to describe the team’s performance. The team had many games that were ”should-have-wons.’’ The girls played great games when they decided to act as a team instead of individual players. Hard work, competitive spirit, and a desire to win. plus team work will be needed to have i good season next year. As Coach Wilson said, “It’s really sad that a team has as much talent as this one does and the thing that’s holding them back is gettinq along. Junior Celeste Parker serves for the Blue Jays.

Volley ball coach Nyla Wilson felt team needed to work harder. ‘The team has a lot of potential, but they have to change their work habits.” Wilson said. According to Wilson, the team leaders were Tricia Cardwell, 88, T rina Jackson. 89. and Jenele Harris. 88. Hosting their own JV tournament was probably the highlight of the season. The junior varsity played well in its first two rounds, downing Salina South and Salina Central. “We played really well. Our serves were going in and we spiked successfully. Wilson said. In a 15-2.15-10 sweep in first round action against Salina South. Valerie Hatton. 88. and Harris served well according to Wilson. The Blue Jays second round opponent, Salina Central, was also swept in two games by scores of 16-14, 15-8. During a two hour break the Blue Jays could not regain their momentum and lost to Topeka High in a tough three-game match 3-15, 15-9. 7-15. What was the overall attitude of the JV team? “The team only has fun when they are winning, but when they are losing they put no effort into their work, Wilson said.

It was early October before the Jays boys team brought in their first top racing of the season. In spite of the 6 returning let-termen; Stan Anderson, 87. David Davis. 87. Robert Dela Montaigne. 87. James Espinoza. 88. and Kelvin Whisenhunt. 87; the team had some tough breaks before their first place finish at Hays. David (Davis) broke his toe before our first meet and wasn’t able to run until ourfifth meet (Hays), said head Cross Country coach Bob Schmoekel. “That injury, of course, affected the team. Going into the 1986 season. Coach Schmoekel had expectations that the boys team would be good, but his hopes improved still more when Brian Thompson. 89. joined the team. Throughout the season the boys collected one third, one second and two firsts. The Jays captured the second of their two firsts at the October 18 meet at Salina Central, where they placed third, ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twenty-six individually in the “A race. We don’t have to get a high team score,” explained Schmoekel. It’s possible to place runners under other teams, but good times and finishes placed closed together get good team scores. On November 1 the Jays raised to new heights at the Regionals. where they won yet another second, losing only to Topeka West, the top ranked in the state. This high finish for the team made it possible for them to travel to Manhattan for the State meet November 8. Preparation for state was approached more at a mental standpoint. I wanted the boys to rest up and run well for State. We didn’t have the work on the mechanics of the race. The conditioning should have already been there.’’ said Schmeokel. The mourning of State proved that, indeed, both the conditioning and mental strength were there. The Blue Jay team brought home a first place State finish to Junction City, the first ever state victory in Cross Country. Students and faculty alike showed their pride and appreciation to the Cross Country team at an all-school assembly the following Monday. There. Coach Schmoekel explained.

Girls’ crosscountry team reaches goals throughout season Jen Easterling DPS editor Bob Schmoekel. head coach of the JCHS Cross Country team, became interested in running as a youngster in grade school, but became serious about it in junior high school. ,JTo me it is more than just a hobby. I know the health benefitsof running are tremendous, but I also enjoy the competition in racing, and also I gain a personal satisfaction from achieving the times and goals I see for myself in road racing, two miles, and marathons. Not only did Coach Schmoekel achieve his goals, but the JCHS girl s cross country team also reached theirs. At the end of the summer, a preseason practice schedule was set aside for the runners who wanted to get ahead in their running skills, and by the first of the school year, the girls were ready to run. I have been fairly well pleased with the girls overall effort. The girls team, I hope, gained some valuable experiences this year which will carry over to next season, Schmoekel said. Jennifer Easterling led the girls in all but three races. “I think it was a great learning experience, a lot of fun, but a lot of hard work. The times when I really worked hard, it paid off! I’m glad Tammy pushed me and made me work for my places and medals, Easterling said. How did Schmoekel assess Easterling’s potential? Jennifer has a lot of potential, and if she decides that she can, she will be one of the best runners around state, Schmoekel said. Tammy Klein also did well with her best time of 13:06 ranking her 12th on the JCHS all time list. But I know she could have done better. Schmoekel said. She needs to be more dedicated, along with Jennifer, and both of them are capable of taking state next season. Natalie Henson, Linda Henson, and Robin Frakes were the next three to bring up the Lady Jays. They had a good overall effort in helping to bring in the points and places. Tina Antolik and Dawn Powell did o.k., but needed to be more confident in their running. said Schmoekel, I hope to see these girls and many more next year to have another great season.

By the end of the season the girls had come up with many accomplishments for JCHS. Throughout the season the girls has many first place finishes, and a second place finish at the 1-70 League. One of the most important first places was at the JCHS invitational. “We worked hardest for it because no one (from Junction) has one it in the past eight years,” said Shannon Greenwood, 88. Although a very young squad, with no seniors playing varsity, the JCHS netters managed to send four girls to state.

They began working with a pro from Manhattan shortly after the 1986 season was finished. It will be better next year since now people know who we are,” Greenwood said. Sturdevant has also set many individual goals for next year. I hope to place in the top five at state next year,” Sturdevant said. “And hopefully by the time I’m a senior, I’ll take first.

Melanie Taylor Layout Editor The Blue Jay wrestling season began on shaky ground due to the extra long football season. For the first few weeks, practices didn’t start until 5:30 and lasted till 8:00. This schedule quickly reduced the number of participants to about one half of the original people who signed up. Numbers also decreased throughout the season due to injuries. The two greatest losses came to the team when K.C Smith, 88, and Larry Forsyth, 87, suffered knee injuries. Both were varsity wrestlers. Choosing captains was done differently for the 1986-1987 wrestlers. Captains were chosen in the middle of the season instead of at the end of the previous season. Many of the wrestlers thought this way was much better. The team got to determine the leaders of the group before choosing two teammates. This year’s captains were Chad Carter, 88, and David Ray, 87. “I was surprised they voted me captain since I was new on the team,” said Ray. “I didn’t think I would be accepted so quick.” Although they started out shakily, by the end of the season the Blue Jay wrestlers were in great standings. Both the l-70tournament and the regional tournament were held in Junction. Even though the Jays were lacking varsity wrestlers in two weight classes, the team pulled out a second place finish out of six teams participating in the 1-70 tournament. The Blue Jays also placed second at the regional tournament where there were eight teams participating. Out of the twelve varsity positions, over half will be back in action next year. There are high hopes for another winning season and possibly even a chance to place in the top three at state if the young wrestlers work as hard as they have worked this year. 134 Wrestling Kelvin Whisenhunt. 132. plans a strategy for his next move Photo by Carter Kenny Castro. 106. gets a two point takedown to win his match.

JCHS took seventh as a team in the class 6A, which was up ten spots from the seventeenth place earned two years earlier. In 1986, no JCHS wrestlers placed, so the team had improved tremendously. Chad Carter, 88, wrestled 98 pounds and won state. Chuck Zimmerman, 89, at 112 and Chris Carter. 87, at 119, both took fourth place. Kenny Castro, 87, at 105, Todd Nabus, 88, at 126, Steve Selock, 88, at 138, and David Ray, 87, at 155 all participated in the state competition. I didn’t think so many people would come out; it really helps to know so many people care,” said Chris Carter. Mrs. Carter filmed the matches for us and brought a lot of support for the whole team throughout the season and at state, we really appreciated her help,” said Coach Bob Laster.

Jays’ season ends with 15-6 record Dana Eddy Rodney Lee Co-edltor-ln-chlef DPS Editor 0 As the clock runs down, the cheering fans get louder; they watch with anticipation as their beloved Blue Jays make their way to victory. Again. In fact this scene became quite a regular occurance for the Blue Jays during the 1986-87 basketball season. Coach Carl Taylor started the season with the expectations for his team to be hard working, to develop it's potential, and to finish the games before the Christmas break with a 5-0 record. They fulfilled Taylor's expectations and went on to do much more The team didn’t face any major problems during the season except for the loss of a few key players midway through the season. According to Taylor, this affected the team only temporarily, but they regrouped quickly, and went on to win many games, ending the season with a 15-6 record. Coach Taylor owed much of the successful season to a hard working team, the felt that their effort was superb, especially after losing a few teammates. Taylor also felt that in his third year of coaching at JCHS, his program was really beginning to take shape. He was pleased with the way things were developing because it takes a couple of years to get a good program going. Taylor hoped inthe future to build one of the best high school basketball programs in Kansas. Taylor felt that one of the most memorable victories was over Kansas City Schlagle. “For two years they (Schlagle) had owned us, and to beat them on their own turf was great,” said Coach Taylor. Larry Howard, '88, and Richard Jefferson, “87, believed that the win over Topeka High was also very special to them. Those teams proved to be challenging every year for Junction City, which made victories over them even sweeter to the Blue Jays. continued on page 140 Boys Basketball Squad Front row Philip Rucker (manager).

The league that Junction City is in is one of the toughest in the state, said Taylor. Rich Jefferson also noted the challenges that were faced. I feel we did rather well compared to what we had. and the teams we were up against.” Many people believed that Junction City faced some of the toughest teams around this season. Although the team’s most valuable player, Greg Snipes, and most Inspirational player, Kevin Summors, had already been chosen, Taylor felt that the whole team should have been considered the most valuable player. “They all stepped up when needed, and they all contributed to the success, said Taylor. When asked about the future, Taylor felt that the upcoming team had much potential, especially in juniors Snipes, Howard, and Gainer. He also believed that by attending camps and working hard, several other team members had the potential to develop into really good players whom he could use the next year. Rich Jefferson also had high hopes for the future team. I think that if ourshooting percentage from the field was 15% higher, we could very well go on and take first or second in the state. And as to Taylor’s final thoughts about the season: This year's team had a tremendous season. I'm proud of the hard work and effort that they all put in. Rich Jefferson felt that they owed much of their success to excellent coaching, I really do feel that we had the best coach in the state of Kansas, he said. However, Larry Howard summed it up best like this, If you thought we did good this year, next year we are going to take state!

Girls’ Basketball 145 Jays Make A Splash Boys swim team shows determination and improvement James Fisher DPS Editor The boys’ swim team showed a lot of initiative and effort in transferring a squad of beginning swimmers into a competitive team. The backbone of the squad included seniors Delbert Johnson and Ron Moon, both four year lettermen in the sport, and Victor Perafan, a promising AFS student from Columbia. Jolynn Skow. head coach, felt that they were the most outstanding swimmers of the season. All three of them were on the relay team that went to state. In addition, Moon competed individually in the 100 meter butterfly at state Though the team this year was made up mostly of inexperienced swimmers, Skow thought that they all made a lot of improvement during the course of the season. What does Skow think of the team’s prospects for next year? “I’m looking forward to all the underclassmen who went out this year to return next year. Everyone made so much improvement this year, and I think they will improve even more next year. Several individuals stood out during the season. Skow felt that Jesse Merrell, Jr. had done a good job and would provide leadership next year. In addition. Lewis Young and Marvin Owens were chosen as most improved swimmers. Moon was chosen as the most valuable swimmer. Though the team didn’t turn out high in the standings all the time, there was a definite improvement. It was a good year. I really enjoyed my first year as head coach. I appreciated the guys’ hard work and positive attitudes.’’ Skow said.

The relay team consisted of Meg Forsyth, 89, Stasi Backscheider, 87, Shawnna Dobernick, 90, and Amy Kidd, 88. The four had been working all year to qualify their relay. It happened toward the end of the season at the Blue Jay’s last home meet at Long Gym. The time that was required for state was a 2:27:40; the Blue Jays recorded a 2:26:7. Also, the previous medley relay record of 2:13:63, set in 1982, was broken with a time of 2:12:2. Another record breaker for the year was Forsyth in the 100 meter butterfly. She recorded a 1:10:8 to break the previous record of 1:11:48 set by Carol Fresen in 1982. Forsyth set the record at the 1-70 meet in Manhattan. The team participated in 12 meets. High points were winning three duals against Topeka Seaman, Salina Central and Salina South. Other highlights included the eighth place finish at the Campus Invitational and the second place finish at the Manhattan quadrangular. Head coach Peggy Hunt felt the team as a whole had an excellent season. Everyone who had previous swim experience improved their times. The numbers and depth of swimmers have improved,” Hunt said.

In the 1-70 tournament, the Jays came through with their lowest team score of the year, a 317. Mario Miramontez. 87, led the team with a 78, but consistency was the key word as Loyce Smith, 89. and David Craft, 88, shot 79's while Ron Prince, 88, and Richard Gatza, 89. shot 81's. This particular 1-70 tournament will be long remembered by Coach Charles Fiffe as the Jays finished second to Manhattan, which shot a 302. Rainy, cool conditions greeted the golfers the next week at regionals. After the first round, the Blue Jays found themselves tied for third place, but they couldn’t continue the pace and found themselves in fifth place at the tournament’s end, two places shy of qualifying for state. Individually, Craft shot an 83, which qualified him for state. At the season’s beginning, it was apparent the Jay golfers had a long hill toclimb. Of the six golfers, only one was a senior. The rest of the team consisted of two juniors and three sophomores. Inexperience showed up early as the Blue Jays finished eighteenth out of 21 teams at their first meet at the Alvamar Country Club in Lawrence. The only highlight from tournaments at Emporia and Hutchinson was Craft’s 74, which earned him a third place medal at Hutchinson. Following the Hutchinson meet, the golfers played in a tournament at Salina. Coach Fiffe had hopes of doing well at this tournament, but scores rocketed on the Salina Municipal course as Miramontez was low man with an 82. My most memorable tournament would have to be our Salina meet. It was the most hilarious round of golf I’ve ever played,” Miramon tez said. At the next tournament, at Manhattan, the always difficult Manhattan Country Club course took its toll on the Blue Jay golfers. Smith shot the lowest score with an 87. But the following week, the Jays began their tune up for the end-of-the-year finish at their own invitational. Four of the six golfers played well at this tournament, with Craft shooting a 75 to lead the team and finish ninth. Even though the team did not place high, the momentum established helped set up the strong finish at the 1-70 and regional tournaments. Golf Team David Craft. Mario Miramontez. Keeping his head down.

Thegirls’ track team beat the wind with all of their successful wins in the 1987 track meets. The girl’s were so excited about winning this year that they tried their very best and did their very best. Their reward was a chance at state. This season was very successful for the girls. The papers were filled with headlines such as ‘ Blue Jays shatter record,” “Blue Jay tracksters earn Salina title,” “Weary Jays do well in Topeka.” “JCHS tracksters set six records a meet.” and many more. But times weren’t always good. The girls had a couple of bum meets. At one meet, in the relays and 100 meter dash. Veronica Hatton had soreness in her leg because of strained hamstring muscles and ended up with a finish of fourth, and teammate Michelle Williams came in with a seventh placefinish. I was trying to keep up with Veronica, hang in there with her, so I wouldn’t get so far behind. said Williams. I’mglad I madethefinals . . . I never ran the 100 that much. They were pretty quick, so it was a challenge.” But things looked up for the girls, as they were the most popular group at the JCHS Invitationals For example Veronica Hatton reset both of her meet records in the 100 and 200 meter dashes. Her times were 12.2 and 25.8. The previous marks were 12.5 in the 100 and 26.0 in the 200. However all the pain and sweat paid off in the end. As the state meet came closer, and the girls felt how real it was and worked harder because they wanted the gold to the show the state of Kansas that we re not so “small town” anymore. But even under pressure, the girls were cool. On Friday and Saturday, May 29 and 30. they accomplished their goals. Veronica Hatton had one thing on her mind though. That was to win the 100 and 200 meter dashes and the anchor JCHS’s girls gold medal in the 400 relay. And she did it. The last headline for the season was Hatton earns gold at state . The girls were undefeated with their sixth consecutive state crown in a relay and seventh overall since 1982. But can this tradition go on? Will the on coming sophomores prove good enough to run where seniors are gone9 We’ll have to wait and see when the 1987-88 season comes around.

There was only one pep rally for spring sports and few announcements about home meets. The team's accomplishments were only discovered on the sports page of the daily paper. The track team existed quietly despite their admirable achievements. In the 1-70 League Meet, held at A! Simpler Stadium, the boys finished second to Topeka West. During the meet, two records were broken along with many track members improving their personal records. In the shotput, Mitch Whaley, 87, Smashed former teammate Daryl Golden's record of 55’ 1 2” with his throw of 55' 3 , which gave him first place in the event. The boys 400 meter relay not only broke the meet record of 42.6 set by JCHSin 1982, but also broke the school record of 42.1 by pulling into the finish line with a time of 42 seconds flat. The members of that record breaking team were Amicure Harris, Max Divine. Mike Williams, and Andrew Jackson. Besides being a part of the winning relay team, Divine captured both races in the 110 meter high hurdles and the 300 meter intermediate hurdles. At the Kansas State Track and Field Championships held at Wichita State University, Junction City’s girls took fifth in team scoring, and the boys t ook fourteenth. Although the boys may have wished for a better placing, there were many exceptional performances by teammates. Sophomore Brian Thompson took seventh place in the 3200 meters despite suffering a severe stomach cramp. Whaley took ninth in the shotput. Jackson placed fifth in the 100 meters, and the 400 meter relay team took sixth. Senior Max Divine closed out his track career by taking second in the 300 meter intermediate hurdles and third in the 110 meter high hurdles. The ‘87 boys track season was one of improvement and record breaking, one that will set standards for teams to come. BoysTrackTeam. Front row Rodney Brown. Andrew Jackson. Greg Snipes. Max Divine.

Although Veronica Hatton dropped a baton in the final exchange during the preliminary girls 800 meter relay which cost the Blue Jays a possible shot at the class 6A title, she more than made up for it by winning the 100 and 200 meter dashes, and anchoring the 400 meter relay team to a first place finish. It marked a spectacular finish to an excellent career with her sixth state crown as a Blue Jay. The entire girls relay deserved credit for coming from behind to win over Kansas City Wyandotte with a time of 48.9 Michelle Williams was given praise by her fellow teammates Greer West and Michelle Jones for running a fast 100 leg that allowed Hatton to come from nearly 20 yards behind to win the relay. Their time tied the school record. Unfortunately, this was the only state championship event for either of the Blue Jay squads, but not the end of their accomplishments. Max Divine also closed out his career as a trackster with an outstanding effort in the 110 high hurdles and in the 300 intermediate hurdles, taking ! home a bronze and silver medal in those events. He and team members Andrew Jackson, Amicure Harris, and Greg Snipes managed to pick up 6th place in the 400 relay with a time of 42.9. Jackson also gave the Blue Jays a 5th place performance in the 100 meter dash. Brian Thompson led in the first leg of the 3200 and showed remarkable determination and endurance in being able to finish 7th in the event despite suffering from severe stomach cramps near the end of the race. His time was 9:52.6. Mitch Whaley was the only Blue Jay to place in the field events at State. He took 9th place with a 49-4 throw in the shot put. 158 Track With determination on his face.

Over 1150 of them. Often sheer numbers seemed to shroud JCHS in impersonality. But despite the numbers, JCHS did have its own unique personality as did each and every student attending. It was this unique and special feeling, that of being a JCHSer, that took a football team to a state championship game or which led the cross country team to a state title. It was also that unique and special feeling that led students to participate in debate or join in dramatic productions. And it was also that unique and special feeling that gave any student at JCHS a unique opportunity to succeed. Many things can help to give a school that unique and special feeling, but one ingredient is essential, the right kind of PEOPLE.

Principal remembersto beware oftheman who forgets the boy in hjm Sarah Bowling DPS Editor In 1951, one of the five administrators currently working at JCHS spent his weekly allowance of $2.50 on a hobby that was enjoyed by him when he was young and has continued even to today. Jim Pendarvis was about seven or eight years old. On a bright and sunny summer day, he and some of the neighbor boys made their weekly trip to the town's small and cozy store to spend their allowance. All the little boys always bouaht what the other boys bought, which was a big piece of the famous bubblegum. Along with the bright pink piece of bubble gum came a baseball card. Really though, the whole purpose of going to the town store was for that ”out-of-this-world size of gum.” By 1953, Pendarvis had accumulated over 100 baseball cards, so rather than throwing them away, he began collecting them. Collecting baseball cards was fun because of the baseball game we created and by trading cards,” Pendarvis said. The baseball card collection started out with a few cards of every player and later grew to over 3,500 baseball cards. These cards varied from the 1951 series of double-headers, which featured two players on a narrow strip card, to the 1955 set which featured players in action inside a TV screen, to the 80 card Ted Williams series in the 1960's. Out of the 3,500 baseball cards, there seemed to be one that had money and sentimental value attached to it. The card was of the famous Willie Mays from the New York Mets. I’ve been offered over $300 for the Willie Mays card, but I just can’t let it go because of the sentimental value,” Pendarvis said. JCHS Administration Ferrell Miller. Asst Principal. Don Barth.

Because of this, the district and the community made a policy that strongly recommends that all new teachers in the district live within the district area. According to Stanley Abel, Assistant Superintendent for Personnel of USD 475, this explanation is what the policy means. If a position for an administrator, teacher, or classified personnel is open, applicants will be informed about the USD 475 Board of Education and the community it serves strong desire to have all staff members reside within school district boundaries. Should a case happen where all. applicants are somewhat equally qualified, the person who will or does live in the district area will be awarded the iob. Or, should a case happen where no resident applicants are qualified, a search outside the boundaries will go on for a qualified person. The residence policy was not mandatory though, just highly recommended. Understanding all of the above, new teachers had different ideas on the subject. Vickie Caldwell, English teacher, made these comments, I really do not have any complaints about the district’s residency policy...it makes it easier for personnel to get to work in case of inclement weather. Also, it allows personnel to attend school-related activities without difficulties.” Another new teacher who agreed with the policy was the English as a Second Language (ESL) teacher, Marie-Ann Eickholt. Eickholt made only a few comments. She was very much for the policy with her reasons being that she believes the community will benefit financially and teachers will want to get more involved in school activities. Not all of the new teachers interviewed were for the policy. residency policy Connie McAleer, French teacher, made a long statement. I am opposed because often the most qualified person is one who would not meet the requirement, and after all, the student’s needs are those which should be met— not the community’s economic needs If the person is willing to drive to JC that ought to suffice! Good teachers will still participate in activities—no matter the distance.’’ The feelings were very much the same for Carroll Orr, science teacher, who also brought up other views. Her comments were that she had mixed feelings about the policy because she could understand the administration’s view that more involvement is needed and the teacher’s children will go to the district schools making teachers more involved. She also said that she would understand if, for example, a permanent Manhattan resident did not want to uproot his family to get a job. Although this residency policy will always be controversial, it has both good and bad points. Doug Conwell and his son are engrossed in a Blue Jay basketball game. Photo by Copeland Doug Engstrom pauses while lecturing to his class. ph0t0 by Copeland Teachers 165 Teachers—friend orfoe? To improve educational quality, teachers raise expectations James Fischer DPS Editor Students at JCHS tended to take their education for granted, overlooking the hard work that went into teaching, and they complained when things went wrong or when teachers expected more from their students. Students also forgot just where the U S. ranked in comparison from other developed nations. That is, in almost all categories, last or close to it. This is a serious problem and many experts criticized the lifestyle that had grown form American culture. They also pointed out that American students were not as competitive as other students. Some teachers in this school disagreed. I believe that the American school systems try to cover a broader base and that if students stick with it, eventually they will rise to the level of other nations’ students but have a larger background of information,” said Doug Engstrom about how he thought American students compared to other students. U.S. policy started to change in this regard, and accompanying this was a trend to improve the quality of education. Many improvements were made. One of the most obvious changes was the administration s focus on improving the test scores on the Kansas Minimum Competency Test (KMCT). They even went to the extreme of offering prizes for the best scores. Students also faced higher graduation requirements in math and science areas. When asked how students were responding to these new qualifications, math teacher. B.R. Wells said, Although students may not like them, I think it will help them improve their scores on standardized tests such as the KMCT. Some of the teachers advocated that the KMCT should be passed in order for seniors to graduate. Even though all this sounded ominous to new students, it really just amounted to the fact that teachers were trying to give all students the best education possible.

Sophs strive for $20,000 bronze Blue Jay Resia Moreland DPS Editor How would you feel about having a 12 foot bronzed mascot placed in front of the school? This was something the sophomore class was working to achieve. Sophomore class president Mary Beth Scott had hopes for this project. She discovered the project when talking to Dr. Bergen, a sculptor, who had built a bulldog mascot for Marysville High School. If a small school can do it, so can we, Scott said. But as for the sophomores, they all realized it had to go through channels. After the sophomore class approval, then the proposal was sent to the superintendent and then to the school board. If it passed, they started the fund raising, and hoped to get it accomplished by 1989, for a going away present from the senior class. said Don Barth, assistant principal. The majority of the sophomore class Sophomore class president Mary Beth Scott originated the plan for the bronzed Blue Jay statue. seemed to be in favor of the project. Of the sophomore ballots returned, we received 225 yes’s and 18 no’s, Scott said. As plans were made, the sophomores showed their support. I think that the idea of getting this Blue Jay would be neat to have. The whole sophomore class is excited about working on this project. I’m planning on helping with the fund raising, that is, when I’m not working. I feel the more money we make the harder we’ll work, Deb Burtnett said. The Blue Jay would stand nine feet tall, with a three feet stand and a total weight of approximately two tons. It would cost $20,000. Raising $20,000 would not be easy, but the sophomore class had a definite strategy in mind. We won’t be knocking door-to-door. Dr. Bergen will do ink drawings of the Blue Jay (that we choose). These will be suitable for framing, and we will be able to sell these. We will be soliciting service clubs, alumni etc. Also, personal donations will be accepted, Scott said. The money hopefully was to be raised and the Blue Jay in place by the class of 89's senior year.

Now imagine everyone dressing the same, getting the same haircut, the same hair color, the same faces and identical personalities. This is enough to putanyone to sleep. Well, the lockers at JCHS were the same way—that is before some sophomores took the time and effort to liven them up. Many students were very creative when they decorated their lockers. Some of the things one could have found were posters of Jon Bon Jovi, Tom Cruise, and Rob Lowe, pictures of boyfriends and girlfriends, mirrors, and wrapping paper. Some even went to the extreme of putting carpet and shelves into the lockers with little stuffed animals placed on the shelves. Sophomores had many reasons for decorating their lockers.

Those short-to-medium length hairstyles grew out to the shoulders and beyond. Curls, waves and full blown volume were back in a big way. Because volume was in demand, the use of mouses and jels were ever popular. Contrary to a few years back, most people used mouses and jels to give their hair a more controlled looking curl to enhance and preserve expensive perms. “My perm allows me to do a variety of things with my hair, with relative ease. A perm usually last about three months, and I think it’s worth the money,” Mary Beth Scott said. As far as hair fads were concerned, banana clips and bows won the prize for 1987. Colored bows had been at the height of fashion due to the return of longer length hair. Banana clips hit big at the beginning of the year and slowly lost their popularity near the end of the year. Always in fashion, hair color made it possible for everyone to live their wildest dreams of being a crazy red head or a, voluptuous blond. For people not ready to make such a drastic change, but who needed a little spice in their life,' high lights and minking were a hit. “A lot of people recognize me by me hair, by saying 'there's that kid with the bleached hair,” Joe Robles said. Forthe white male long hairwasout. The newest craze was very short hair, left just a little longer on top to make a short, spikey look, such as a crew cut. Also the shaving of lines in the hair was popular too. Black males created their own unique look. A popular one was that of a very close cut to the head along with multiple parts shaved in to it. To take this look even further, designs, numbers, symbols, and even letters were being shaved into the head. Spot coloring and two toned hair had been another way of expressing oneself.

The class of ‘89 were the ones who picked all of the following winners in music, acting, television and sports through surveys. The surveys were tallied up and here are the results. For top albums, most bought by the sophomore class, Bon Jovi hits number one with Europe, Cinderella, Poison, MaDonna, and Janet Jackson respectively behind. Too bad the sophomore class couldn’t pick who won the Grammy aawards, or Tom Cruise, Sylvester Stallone, and Michael J. Fox would've won for best actors. For best movies of the 1986-87 year, Top Gun” was number one. Crocodile Dundee.” and Ferris Bueller’s Day off were two and three. How much time do sophomore's spend each night watching television? Most say one to three hours. But what are their favorite shows of the week? Everyone seemed to like The Cosby Show, which pulled in the most votes, but Moonlighting and a new hit series in the sitcom world, Perfect Strangers,” weren’t too far behind. But not only did sophomores seem to like weekly comedies, Monday night football was a favorite also. Many sophomores got really excited watching the Chicago Bears and Dallas Cowboys play, but most of all they liked to pay money to go see their favorite team of all, the Junction City Blue Jays, win! The 1986-87 year was full of parties, weekend after weekend, and that’s where the sophomores liked to spend their free time the most. And if they were not eating or sleeping, girl or boy watching was fun to do also. If JCHS could have a radio station of its own, right in this school, it would definitely have to be run by a sophomore. Many radio songs made the charts for Dick Clark and Scott Shannon, and the sophomore class listened closely. The songs most likely to be put on the JCHS top ten count-down were number 10 Lean on Me,” number 9 Jealousy” and Janet Jackson’s Control tied. Pulling up at number 8, Nobody’s Fool, and number 7 You’ve Got It All, by the Jets. At number 6, the party animals themselves, The Beastie Boys, with You’ve Got to Fight for Your Right (to party), and number 5, by Journey, Why Can’t This Night (go on forever). Survivor, climbing up the charts, was number 4 with Man Against the World, and the top album artists, the group Bon Jovi, jumped up to number 3 with Living on a Prayer. Jon Bon Jovi helped get this next group started, and at number 2 the group that is named after a famous fairy tale, is Cinderella, with the song (Somebody) Save Me.” And the number 1 song this year voted by the sophomore class is a group named after the bottles your mom warned you about. Here's Poison and Talk Dirty to Me. Well, there you have it. The most valuable and favorite things of the class of ‘89. It was real!

They are a very special thing because its the first time to go out with the opposite sex and with no parents to chaperone. Most juniors had their first date anywhere from 13 to 16 years of age. The average age was 14. Most of them went out to eat and to a movie. Some of the most popular places they went to eat were Burger King, Bonanza, and Sirloin Stockade. Other things they did were taking a walk in the park, going to the lake and swim, going to a party, and going to dances. Most of the curfews for them were midnight. There were some at 10:30 pm., 11:30 pm., or anytime. “I had to be home as soon as I dropped her off, whenever that may be,” Donnie Vanhoose, 88, said. Most of the juniors disliked their first dates because they didn’t last long enough. Some didn’t feel comfortable with their date because of their size. “I really didn’t feel comfortable with a girl 10 feet taller than me,” Robert Meekins said. Very few disliked paying for the cost of their date. Some didn’t like some of the actions that happened. “I didn’t like paying for the date, it was expensive, Sean Lancaster said. “I disliked tripping over my date’s feet,” Terry Adams said. Most of them said that nothing embarrassing or funny happened. A few of them did admit it though. I had to use the bathroom every five to ten minutes, and it was so embarrassing, Junga Bigham said. Roy kept laughing out loud and repeating things he thought were funny. It was so embarrassing, Dee Dee Clark said. First dates are things for students to remember the rest of their lives. It is a starting point in the world, something these juniors will never forget.

Music seemed to be a very important part of every teenager’s life. This year’s favorite music group among the juniors, with a majority vote was RUN DMC. In second place, another group which seemed to be hot, was Beastie Boys, which had 20% of the votes. The favorite television show on the air was The Bill Cosby Show.” with just about all of the votes. Who were the juniors’ top three actors or actresses9 Not surprisingly, number one was Bill Cosby, with his own number 'one show on the air. Second place was A If. a muppet-like character who supposedly came from another planet and who was very humorous. It was one of the new shows on the air and was having plenty of success. Alt—reflect tastes Third place was a tie between Michael J. Fox and Rob Lowe, two young, handsome, well-known actors, who Derformed in a lot of well-known movies. Favorite sports among the juniors were basketball and football, with favorite teams being the JCHS Blue Jays, The Chicago Bears football team, and the New York Mets baseball team, who won the 1986 World Series. Favorite cars, which were also very expensive ones, were Ferrari and BMW with a tie between them.

JCHS students have excuses for any situation Kan Leeper. 88. laughs after a hard-fought Filly Football game Jeff Cunningham DPS Editor For some unknown reason, students always have an excuse. It doesn’t matter what the situation is; students have an alibi. School secretaries Sandy Koppen-heffer and Marlene Smith have probably heard some of the best excuses for being tardy or being absent. Some of these outrageous excuses are totally bizarre. One of the strangest excuses for being tardy came from a former student, Jeff Mathis. The reason for the student’s tardiness was he had no hot water to wash his hair because he had company over and they all took baths before him. So he had to wait for hot water. Then the student rambled on and said that his dog died; then for some mysterious reason his cat turned up pregnant. After all this, he received a pass to class. Students have creative minds at old JCHS. Some of the more creative excuses have been that it’s been raining too hard to walk. It’s snowing, no use to come. I had no money for a taxi, and it was too far to walk. Mom didn’t wake me up. The dog was sick. The cows got out of the fence. I thought school was out for the day. Jake Walker, 88. had this to say on excuses. “If we didn’t use them, we wouldn’t be excused.” Another junior. Mike Newton, said. “Most excuses are stupid, but nevertheless. I use them!” Why students use excuses is beyond me. but they do use them. Not only in school, but at home and work. If students keep using excuses they will never have any credibility! Juniors 183 Morning, noon and night Familiar pitfalls plague juniors as prom becomes a reality Cindi Pratt People Editor Another 7:25 am meeting? After school too? That’s exactly right, in the morning, after school, and even activity period, that’s when the junior class met. As March rolled into April, students’ thoughts turned from tutoring to tanning, and seniors anticipated graduation, and the junior class began a frenzy of activity, all dealing with prom. From planning fund-raisers to building the necessary decors, all of this was taken on by the juniors, led by sponsors Vickie Caldwell and Randy Wewer. Their first and most initiative fundraiser was the sale of Scalp the Indians’’ t-shirts and sweatshirts for the eagerly awaited home game against the archrival Manhattan Indians. Because there was no cost overhead, everything we took in was profit and there was no chance to lose money,” said Lisa Yosha, 88. The Indian shirt sale got the ball rolling for the May 2 Prom. Using the new concession stand in the Al Simpler Stadium, the juniors quickly learned of an easy way to bring in big bucks. Also, District and Substate Championships were held at JCHS which brought in more income than expected. These, along with Wicker Chair Pictures; a fund-raiser started for the ‘86 Prom by the class of ’87, brought in an estimated $2,500 by the end of February. In Mid February, the juniors hit a snag in their fund-raising plans. The juniors sold roses to be delivered on Valentines Day. Because the roses were going to be real, we should have made much more money then the artificial flowers, also it was a change from what other classes did,” said Chad Carter, Junior Class President. Unfortunately their good intentions were given up due to a problem with their delivery from Kansas City, KS and had to buy real flowers at the last minute. Luckily no prom money was lost on this endeavor; the juniors just-broke even. To help float the price of a fantastic prom, the Juniors opened a fund raiser traditionally held in the fall with magazine sales The junior class committee really solicited the help of their junior class members to have an exciting prom for the class of 87, said Vickie Caldwell, junior class sponsor. As in every year, the seniors were worried, but rumors of a parking lot prom were dispelled in early April by a junior class sponsor. We’ll have one of the most memorable lay outs for them on May 2. said Caldwell.

I’m always pushing myself beyond the limit,” Mike Williams said. Williams was a junior when he first started on the varsity football squad as wingback. His speed and strength immediately won him a position, which he kept the entire season. ‘‘Running is my thing, Williams said, which was clearly evident when watching his performance. As a sophomore, Williams ran track, with his events being the 100 meters, 200 meters, and 4 by 100 meter relay. Williams did well in track, running in the K.U. relays, where only the top four J.C. male runners competed. He also took first place in the 100 meters at the regional meet, which took him to state. Williams scored high in points, which helped him to letter his first year in high school. Williams' strength was also outstanding, considering he was only 5'7 and 149 pounds and could bench press 210 pounds. Williams gave a great contribution to the football team his junior year by rushing for 1,175 yards, which broke the high school rushing record, and making 11 touchdowns. Due to Williams' great effort, he made first team wingback on the 1-70 team. He was also chosen by the Kansas City Star as an All-State running back. My next year plans are to have another good year, to beat Topeka West this time, and of course to beat Manhattan. I’d also like to go to state and win,” Williams said. After high school Williams said he’d like to get a good scholarship to a good college, if possible. If not, Williams said, ‘Til be content with almost anything. Williams is not sure what he wants as a career but for now football is not one of them.

Well, yes. seniors finally made it. But before they went they were asked to answer just one more question. What advice would you give to sophomores just beginning their careers at JCHS?” Rob Smith gave some advice for sophomore happiness. Make sure you’re happy in what you do. Smith said In Sul gave a little bit of advice on school. Don't take school for granted. Cheery Namok Martin gave a little advice on doing what you like. Make the best of your high school year’s. Martin said. And Chris Colbert gave advice from the heart, as they all did. on being a senior. Seniors are just people who are anxious for the future, but terrified of what it holds.” Colbert said.

Despite all of the hassle annually created for the seniors, the tradition always lived on. Senior skip day took place on March 6, at a Crystal Cove beach at Milford Lake. Seniors couldn’t have asked for a nicer day. The sun was shining; the water was splashing, and a slight breeze was blowing. All of the approximately 200 students who showed up just hung out on the beach, got a tan, and took it easy, while their counterparts attended classes all day. All senior skip days were handled differently. For instance, the 1985 senior skip day was in April, and they sold tickets to attend it. In 1987, they did it as a spur of the moment thing to help keep it a secret. Among the afternoon’s activities was a limbo contest. Of the 20 plus participants, Trisha Mathis proved the most flexible, not to mention the shortest, contestant. Valere Walker came in a little short with second place. “You couldn’t exactly measure the last height I went under. After all, the limbo stick was a tree branch, and Romie and Lance weren’t holding it steady,’’ Mathis said. Everyone’s off-road driving skills were put to a test on the treacherous route to the lakeside locale. Among the unfortunates who ventured too close to the lake’s edge were Donna Zimmerman and Matt Houston, whose vehicles were tire deep in the quicksand-like earth. I told Donna not to drive on the beach, but she insisted her 4-wheel drive would make it. Of course she got stuck about 100 yards down the beach. So Matt Houston climbs into his 4-wheel drive Blazer. I told him he was going to get stuck too. Of course he did. Well, eventually both of them got out after a couple of hours of hard laboring and planning,’’ Stefan Strobel said. Chad Peterschick was awarded a blow up beach toy for being the “oh-so-partying” senior. Cindi Pratt accumulated multiple cuts and abrasions from a lack of attention to the sometimes rocky terrain, and was acknowledged as the most injured party goer. “I didn’t notice I was hurt for a while, I was just having fun and someone said Hey why are your knees all bloody?’ I must have lost a pint of blood before Stasi took care of my injuries,” Pratt said. As the sun set and the day drew to a close, all that were left were fond memories of the dancing on table tops and pledges of everlasting friendships.

It has been around since the first senior entered a senior year and will probably be around until the last senior graduates from the last high school. Many questions come up on senioritis, such as, what is it? How does one get it? How do teachers deal with it? Following are a few answers for troubled minds of the juniors and sophomores. Since everyone is an individual, there were many different answers. For instance, Kay Moeller’s definition was, I want desperately to go to college and get away from my dad.” On the other hand, it can be defined like this, It is a plague.” said Juanitta West. Another way of putting it is. I feel that I am getting lazy, and burnt out completely from the work, said Christina Wiggins. How do students get it? Students go to school for 13 years to get a piece of paper called a diploma. The thirteenth year is the last time seniors must go to six different classes in one day and listen to the same thing over and over again. Sometimes they decide that they don’t care any more. Laurie Gardner comments on how she as a senior feels about school work, You throw down your books and maybe do the homework later.” Instead of staying home and studying, some seniors go out and party until the weekend is over and other things, such as coming home at four o’clock in the morning during the week, ripping doors off of walls, playing their music loud enough for the whole neighborhood to hear, having keg parties out in a field during the fall, and rearranging rocks on top of Signal Hill. In other words It’s being crazy!” said Diana Lyons. How do teachers handle senioritis? Math teacher B R. Wells said. Continue as if it was the beginning of the year.” Charles Volland, vocal instructor, had a definitely different approach. ”1 throw up my hands in despair. According to Bernice Bullard, a teacher should laugh andnot be too serious and have a good sense of humor.” Doug Engstrom’s ideas were altogether different, Some years are all right, but this year, I broke down and caught it myself.” The big question was how did the juniors feel about it? According to Susan McSpadden, 88. I’m very proud of my senior friends, but I’m going to be lost without them next year. Dana Eddy said, I accept that the seniors are leaving, and I will be here for another year.” Larry Forsyth struggles with the complexities of building a model house for Monty Godsey's drafting class Crystal Davis David Davis James Fischer Tracy Griswold Seniors 201 Embracing the future Graduation holds both excitement and sadness “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times... So wrote Charles Dickens in the beginning of his novel A Tale of Two Cities. And for the class of ‘87, graduation certainly held equal measures of happiness and sorrow The traditional excitement of graduation was tempered by the sadness the class felt over the death of classmate Rob Smith, who died in a car accident four days before graduation. But the 295 members of the JCHS class of ‘87 also had opportunity to remember “the best of times and to look forward to the future. Graduation speaker Art Fletcher, a 1943 graduate of JCHS, fulfilled a promise he had made to himself 41 years earlier by returning to JCHS to speak at commencement. In addition to being president and chief executive officer of his own engineering firm, Fletcher had served as adviser to three Presidents, had been a professional football player, and had been a representative to the United Nations. Fletcher compared life to a football game and urged students “...to take well thought out actions. He also told the graduates that “America’s future rests in your hands.” In addition to Fletcher, valedictorian David Ray, salutatorian Nankyong Kim, and senior class president Juanitta West spoke. All three student speakers discussed the good and bad times of the class of ‘87, from bringing home the silver trophy to struggling with “The Scarlet Letter and Hamlet.” West summed up the situation of the class of ‘87. We have accomplished a major step in our lives. This is our time to...embrace the future.” Friends until the bitter end Graduates and former yearbook photographers Greg Copeland and Delbert Johnson finally find themselves on the other end of the camera Photo by McSpadden Saxaphone player Frank Neeley joins the band for one final song before he graduates Photo by McSpadden. 202 Graduation Steve Moore.

Senior excitement grew steadily as graduation loomed in the near future. Juniors and sophomores watched with interest, as their upperclassmen underwent drastic changes. The last months of school passed quickly as students at JCHS were involved in various activities. They prepared for Prom, set new track records, and were commended for their achievements in many awards ceremonies. Students at JCHS also faced extreme hardship as they prepared for their relentless foe—the end-of-the-year final. Prom, one of the major events of the whole school year, proved as always to be a great challenge for the junior class, but was well worth the effort. Who could forget dancing the night away in the JCHS courtyard, underneath a beautiful, star-lit sky? This year was also a time for old records to be broken. The JCHS Boys Cross Country team became state 6A champs; the football team went to State, Chad Carter took state in wrestling, and during spring track season, senior Mitch Whaley broke a previous record in the shotput event. The Blue Jays showed that they were a force to be reckoned with throughout the various sport seasons. Athletic Achievements were not the only ones made by JCHS students during the year. Many students excelled academically also. JCHS was ranked twenty-first out of 67 high schools that participated in the American High School Mathematics Examination in the spring. In addition, Andrew Dunlap and James Fischer both received the Commended Student Award for scoring in the top ten percentile on the PSAT their junior year. David Ray also received a four year Army ROTC scholarship to the Colorado School of Mines.

James Fischer, 87, also had a positive outlook on the year. My senior year was great, even though I only got here six months ago. I meta lot of good friends in J.C., and it was definitely the best year I've ever had. And now we see that the scraps and pieces came together to form a total picture of the year. Some of the pieces are sad, others are very memorable and precious to us all. But together, they will create a year of our lives, one that we may not ever forget. Good-bye!
