Like the first day of this year, when you walked into the school, the newly painted lockers surprised you. And the windows of the school were eliminated during the summer for heating purposes. Some things did not change, though. There were no new teachers, and the same subjects were being taught. Exciting events took place, such as the basketball games, the Homecoming dance, the Prom, and field day. Did you ever think you'd make it through all the tests and pop quizzes? Sometimes you wondered. Looking back on the good times is a specialty for seniors. This was their last year, and the memories won't be forgotten by them or any student at KHS. Changes made this year brought about new beginnings, and made this year one to remember. Wilbur Wizard casts his spell, And stars magically come alive. They seem to have a smile or two From the year 1984-1985! Wilbur takes his magic wand And waves it in the air. To get a few new faces. That with none they'll compare! Wilbur Wizard does his magic | And makes the year alright, He makes the year a special one And for most it's outta sight!

Most of you who read this paragraph can years and remember your first day as a freshmen. It was a nervous and tense time. You weren't sure exactly what to expect. The same was true for the '84-'85 freshmen. I was mostly worried about not being able to find my classes ' said freshman Angie Schulte, It turned out a lot better than I expected. Dennis Karcher said, I wasn't that nervous until a group of seniors walked up and knocked my books from my arms. I guess my day was all and all not that Don't bother me. I'm reading!! esch. Treasurer Laurie Wurth, Secretary Linda Phillips.

Clean your plates! Don't worry Angie, we'll have the best popcorn ever made in Home Ec I! How's this pose? TO WASH DISHES Arlene Siefker Dennis Siefker Dan Turnwald Will those cameras ever leave us alone? Freshmen were nominated to be the dishwashers for the '84-'85 school year. It seemed very simple; however, some freshmen weren't too happy about the idea. The worse thing about it, said Dena Schroeder, was getting dishpan hands. Although the opinion was split, everyone agreed on the fact that it still wasn't fair that freshmen always get stuck with the dirty work. But Hey Linda! Getting wet? then again, someday FRESHMEN will be SENIORS! Jackie Selhorst Then there were those like Dennis Karcher who said, It wasn't that bad. We got out of some class time and we got a free meal everyday we worked.

Absent: President Julie Meyer. Sophomores started the year off fine, with not a worry under the sun. Classes were easy and life was smooth for everyone. Some highlights of the year were licenses and class rings. The sophomores wondered what tomorrow would bring. To end this poem on a good note, on the subject I will shed some light; by the famous words of Norman Thomas: Make me a sophomore just for tonight.

Believe me — I know! — Tracy Mead Good luck to everyone in the class of '85 in your future lives. J — David Bendele My four years at KHS were quite an experience! Good luck to future KHS students. — Jane Burwell After three years of cold they finally have some heat in here! J — Randy Fuerst Good luck to everyone in their future endeavors. — Ken Basinger Over my shoulder, what I have seen, is more important than right now to me. Rod McKuen (Love's Been Good to Me) Remember the good times! — Chris Beckman The teachers were of exceptional value to my four years of schooling at KHS. They not only taught the fundamentals of each class, but they taught us something else — how to be a better person, establish high goals, and to get the most out of life by making the most of ourselves. — Karen Klausing Deb Hoffman Mark Maag DO YOU REMEMBER THESE BABY PICTURES? Todd Miller Beth Kortokrax Sonia Selhorst Gina Laudick Joyce Fischer Wade Warnecke Tracy Mead Jane Burwell Deb Smith There's no way that I could forget the past four years. There have been too many memories. Good memories, of course! There will be things you'll want to forget (like Advanced Math) but there will always be the good times, the fun times, the exciting times (like accidently starting a fire in Chemistry lab!) I can't say that I loved every minute of it or that these have been the best years of my life, but I can say that it's been pretty darn close. — Barb Horstman I m glad it only took four years because I was running out of No-Doze. Rodney Kahle Going to KHS has been an experience! Every year it seemed to go faster! Let s go Crazy' by Prince — Joyce Fischer I'm glad that I will be getting out of here, ot AMEN — Mike Gerding My senior year was a lot of fun I enjoyed being able to see all of my friends, being able to join in on activities, and having classes with them — Michelle Heitmeyer Seeing that I’m not allowed to say anything negative, like moving our graduation date back stinks, all I have to say is that I am glad to get out Michelle Heitmeyer Aaron Brinkman of here! — Barb Schulte — Jeff Giesken SENIOR COMMENTS: FROM SOME OF THESE BABIES!

My Friend. — Author Unknown CLASS ADVISOR Mr. Robert Gerdeman Class Ensemble singing Friends Forever.” ATION Salutatorian Nancy Siefker Valedictorian Tracy Mead VALEDICTORIAN SPEECH On behalf of the senior class, I would like to welcome everyone to the class of 1985's commencement exercises. Today marks not only an ending, but also a beginning. We are leaving behind our childhood. filled with many fond memories that won't be forgotten, and we are looking towards the future and what it holds for us. Our family and friends have played an important role in our lives and will continue to do so even though we look ahead to the unknown. Throughout our lives, our family and friends have done so much for us that it would be very difficult to include everything they have done, but I thought of three things that stick out in my mind. First and most importantly, is the,love and support our family and friends give us. They are always there for us with advice or just a hug during times of need. Secondly, our family and friends, accept us as we are. They don't try to change us or force their views and opinions on us. They allow us to be ourselves and to make our own decisions, even when they are not the best. And thirdly, our family and friends give us the motive to strive for our goals. By gently nudging us to fulfill our greatest potentials, we go forth and attempt to make them proud of our endeavors.

Then came eight days of mini-band camp from 8-12 for the show at the Putnam County Fair. Next, our vacation came in the month of July, and we could finally forget about band camp for a week from 8-3 to learn our show for the fall competitions. In order to qualify for the State O.M.E.A. Competitions, we had to get a superior rating in a competition beforehand. We missed a superior rating at Lexington by one and a quarter points, and finally earned our superior at Fostoria with a rating of 257, (Class C only needed to have a total of 225). At last November 3 came and the Kalida Wildcat Marching Band went to Franklin County Stadium. The band proudly brought home an excellent rating and drum major Chris Fuerst — a superior rating. This year proved to be worthwhile to Mr. and Mrs. Myers and all the band members. Most people dread a five hour bus ride, but we all survived it on our way to New Philadelphia.

NO, NO NANETTE was KHS's version of the 1925 hit musical. It was the 11th musical in KHS history, and it was very successful. It was set in New York City and Atlantic City and featured elaborate costumes, color, dance, song, and romance. Tap dancers and gymnasts added to the sparkle of this production.

The Kalidascope staff worked hard this year to provide a good historical record of the 1984-1985 school year. The staff had a fund-raiser to make money to add special effects to the yearbook. The fund-raiser was an Arts and Crafts fair which took place on October 20, 1984. There were many exhibits by local and out-of-town people. Lunch was sold by the staff. The day took a lot of planning but overall it went well. Also, this year the yearbook staff did something to promote next year's book sales. A free yearbook was raffled off to anyone who bought a yearbook. Sheryl Schmersal won the book, and her money was returned to her for the book she had already purchased. And finally the Kalidascope staff had a pizza party at Garric-vick's on April 23 to end a year of fun but hard work. Tina's bright-eyed and ready to work on her pages. I hate these Saturday morning meetings. FRONT ROW: Terri Bendele, Deb Hoffman, Nancy Schnipke, Tracy Mead, Chris Schulte, Barb Horstman, Dorraine Brinkman, Tricia Sager, Barb Miehls.

With coaches like Denny Smith, Dale Knueven, Gary Vorst, and Daren Miller for the A-team, and Phil Fuerst and Bob Oard for the B-team, Kalida s CYO teams played their hardest to bring about a victory. The A-team had a 13-7 record, while the B-team had a 5-7 record. The A-team participated in two tournaments, the Putnam County league tournament and the Toledo Diocese tournament. The B-team was happy just to play the season out. SOCCER — EXCELLENCE OUTSIDE THE SCHOOL FRONT ROW: Chris Reynolds, Dennis Schulte, Dan Turnwald, Mike Warnecke, Craig Hanneman, and Dennis Karcher. SECOND ROW: Terry Meyer, Dave Hovest, Gene Kohls, Roger Giesige, Rick Beckman, and Ron Brinkman. Soccer is not a well known sport around Putnam County, but it is starting to take its place at KHS. This year the Putnam County soccer league included various students from Kalida High School who kicked their way to a successful season. They lost few games and were PCL champs. They worked hard to achieve this, and we think they deserve much recognition for everything they accomplished.
