Band 49 The band members will never forget this year in band because of the trip to Niagara Falls. They went to enjoy the sights, but they did their best in the parade competition and received 2nd place in their class and 4th place overall. Each band member, especially the seniors, truly experienced the feeling of win from within. In Canada, the band stayed at the Crystal Family Motel. Their sightseeing trips included the Scenic Tunnels, with a water-level view of the Falls; a dolphin, sea lion, and blue whale show at Marineland; two trips to Maple Leaf Village full of shops and museums; the Minolta Tower and Reptileland; a Jazz Band Festival and the Awards Ceremony; a light show on the Falls; and Sunday Mass at St. Patrick's Church — officiated by an unusually friendly priest. In between the scheduled tours, there were unscheduled bus tours of nearby sights, passing time at the motel, and souvenir shopping. All in all, the trip was rewarding for all involved. It was unforgettable in many ways, and added to the life at KHS. Niagara “Falls For The K.H.S.

Probably the most memorable pep rally was the Wildcat Shuffle!

Makes The Most Of Memories The Kalidascope Yearbook Staff put in long and hard hours to capture the memories that the members of the student body created during the 1985-86 school year. Along with the help of the student body, we have sold the most yearbooks than we have in quite a few years. Last year, we sold 114 yearbooks opposed to 146 this year. The photographers greatly appreciated all of your help in producing quality pictures. Your efforts in trying to avoid the camera gave our photographers a lot of confidence in their abilities. During basketball season, the yearbook staff decided to take on the responsibility of selling basketball programs. The new programs sold well. We ended the year by enjoying a meal prepared at Bert Bernie's. Yearbook J3 • 5 « a.to o Young, But Gaining Experience The Academic Club began several years ago in an attempt to foster an increased interest in academic achievement at the high school level. Few contests were won during the initial years, but the Wildcat Spirit prevailed and the '85-86 edition of the K.H.S. Academic Club came away with a very successful season. The P.C.L. Tournament held here at Kalida was one of the highlights of the year. The 85-86 team also competed in the W.O.B.C. Invitational Tournament in Celina. The team was assisted by many underclassmen, and although the team performed well this year, the future looks even better. 1. Mr. Wilson and moderator Sr. Marian discuss the outcome of a match. 2.

Kalida High School has a new club to add to the Wildcat line-up. Teens Listening with Care and Concern, TLC, started out with a small group of students concerned for their peers' safety. This group of students recognized the fact that drinking and driving has become a major problem in Putnam County. For just beginning, this group has set some very important goals. Their goals are: to educate young people, to make people feel accepted when they don't want to drink, and to show concern for people who drink and drive. They hope to achieve these goals by doing skits of what a typical teenage party is like. These skits were performed in front of the sixth, seventh, and eighth grades. They also had some of the top sports students in the school talk about their training rules. TLC members, after talking it over, decided they could best illustrate their concern for younger students by starting a Dear Doug letter. This letter was set up so students in the grade school could write questions to Doug and have them answered by high school students. Interest in this group has grown and their goals are becoming well-known by the surrounding communities. With their determination, the students plan to stay near the top of the wildcat lineup by continuing activities they started this year.

The crowning took place between the reserve and varsity games against Continental in which we were defeated. After the game, the Student Council took the court to the Black Angus for a dinner. A dance was not held this year. Sophomore Attendants Ross Reeker and Dorraine Blink man Freshmen Attendants Kinc and 4 d d r 0 t d d 4 Students who were looking forward to field day were disappointed. The weather has been dismal and d� ld all week. Field Day was to take place on May 19 buf it rained off and on all day so ix was cancelled. Everyone was hoping it could take place on May 21, the rain date but there was no such-luck because it was also cold and damp. Seniors were disapp ointed because this was to be their chance to win field 8 y two years in a row. So it looks as if the school year of 1985-86 will have to go without a field day. Field Day 99 1.

Detroit was the city that was to be graced with the presence of the class of 1986 from Kalida High School. First, the seniors got a taste of history when they visited the Henry Ford Museum. In history class their junior year they were shown pictures of the chair in which Pres. Lincoln was shot, and while at the museum they got to actually see Lincoln's chair. After spending what seemed like hours looking at things from the past they visited one of the most modern General Motors plants. The plant was a real switch from the museum. With the help of computerized machines the cars were assembled in a clean and efficient environment. Nearby the G.M. plant was the Silver-dome, which they visited for a short time. On the way back into the city they slipped in and out of the Silverdome. Now that their trip was about half over it was time to visit Trapper's Alley. This was a three story building consisting of small shops and restaurants where the students could buy souvenirs. Next, they moved on to the Renaissance Center, a big shopping mall, hotel and office building all rolled into one. Most of the students didn't buy their T-shirts at Trapper s Alley because they knew they were going to the Renaissance Center. The problem started when most of the shops in the Renaissance Center were closed and next they were to board the Star of Detroit, a pleasure ship. It ended up that the students bought their souvenirs in Hart's Plaza where the ship was docked. The students enjoyed a pleasant evening aboard the Star of Detroit. They ended their class trip under the stars that sprinkled the sky that night. There was talk of having their class Reunion on the ship. The bus trip home was quiet as the students thought over the events that took place on their senior class trip and then slowly drifted off to sleep. Senior Class Trip 105 Welcome To The Greatest 1.

Unfortunately, there's no script. However, each of you have learned and rehearsed your lines, and the play is all but ready. In fact, for many of you, it has already begun. See it as William Shakespeare did. All the world's a stage, and all the men and women are but actors and actresses upon it. Each one of you is playing a part, a role in tbe show that is sometimes comedy, sometimes tragedy, sometimes romance. For example, most of you seated here are acting the part of the proud parents and family of one or more graduates. The faculty has acted the part of educator. However, your acting does not imply insincerity, since each of you relates to your character well. Nonetheless, we are all acting upon the stage of life . . . Our final year of rehearsal, our senior year, was' filled with mixed emotions; happiness and sadness, anxiety and hope, indifference and concern. We each became as concerned with the entire production as we were with our own character development This newfound unity propelled us to many goals ... Members of the class not only joined existing activities, but initiated some of their own . . . These four years of rehearsal have taught us at least one thing: the part we play in our life is determined from with in, our strengths, our weaknesses, our doubts and hopes. Our roles need not be learned, but instead, discovered, as we discover more about ourselves. The rehearsal is not finished. In fact, it is never finished. That is, never finished as long as we continue to develop . That's why this is the greatest play ever written ■— it changes as we change, grows as we grow. Let the play begin. So went the valedictory speech presented by Chris Fuerst at the commencement on June 1, 1986.
