When our minds are filled with curiosity and wondering awareness, When we are searching for identity— a person we will be proud to call me, When we must learn peace, love, and hope ... A TIME FOR US—experienced once and never again. 3 Activities A Time For: Involvement-caring enough to seek awareness. Initiative-learning not only to improve but to create. Co-operation-receptive to others; unafraid to offer ourselves, Service-a way to express our individualism and loyalty.

Schindler, install new records for student enjoyment. Council Plants Nursery Of Maple Trees At the helm of the student body, the Student Council served as a communication link between students, faculty and administration. Because individualized instruction, a new trend of education in KCHS, was of special concern among everyone, the council freely discussed the issue with Mr. Hensley, who had previously talked with faculty members, thus bringing all opinions into perspective. During the year, this student group also sponsored such activities as a post-game jukebox dance, selling booster stickers and keeping the jukebox supplied with up-to-date records. However, their largest project of the year was planting eighty-six maple trees to help beautify the campus, a policy they advocated throughout the school year. As their last duties as the school's governing body, the council officiated campaigns and balloting. A breakfast hosted by the Student Council, for the presentation of their awards, brought the year to an end. CARRYING OUT plans for campus beautification, Michele Rosendahl, Patty Hake, Mr. Charles Morehouse, sponsor of the Student Council, and Jim Vencill work together planting a nursery of maple trees.

Freshman: Jody Weimer. 12 Fourteen Chosen For Honors Society As May 1971 began, so did preparation for one of the most honorable convocations of the year: the tapping ceremony for National Honor Society. While KCHS teachers balloted to choose the new members, the present members met to decide on the theme for this year's ceremony. With final balloting done, new members picked, and preparations ready, the students assembled in the auditorium for the annual ceremony. Fourteen single yellow roses awaited the new members as the program began under the theme I've Gotta Be Me. At last, seven seniors and seven juniors walked on to the stage and took the oath which made them the new members of NHS.

LONGHORN NOTES Leans Toward New Trends Longhorn Notes, KCHS's All American newspaper was published biweekly by co-editors Kathy Bird-sail and JoAnn Ebel. Finding, through workshops held at the Nebraska High School Press Convention at Lincoln, that the new trend in newspaper writing was on features rather than straight factual stories prompted a revision in the paper's structure. More features, expressive editorials on national as well as local issues, and student opinions became the articles which were stressed. In addition to their presecribed duties, the editors instructed the members of the staff individually on basic writing techniques and the problems involved in printing a newspaper. Workshops were conducted to familiarize the staff with the procedures involved in composition of the paper. TO PLAN their layouts for the coming week, co-editors Kathy Birdsall and JoAnn Ebel, type news stories in order to fit them for the correct length. AS ONE of his duties as assistant editor, Dave Baltensperger runs off finished stencils on the mimeograph machine for the upcoming issue of the paper.

Cooperation was the key word for the annual staff as coeditors Susan Jones and Nancy Mortenson strove to create an imaginative annual for '71. Comprised of mostly inexperienced sophomores, the staff worked on rough layouts, then progressed to copy and cutlines, learning the basics to yearbook development. In the quest for creativity, photographers were urged to try new, unusual and interesting effects. Seeking enlivened copy, students and faculty were interviewed and asked to write their ideas for the yearbook. Changing to Newsphoto, a smaller publishing company, helped the staff because more time could be spent with the yearbook's individual problems. Mr. Acker-mann, representative, also aided the staff tremendously by bringing in new ideas and techniques. Thummel, and Sue Maxted, work after UNDER DEADLINE pressure, co-editors Nancv Mortenson and Susan Jones examine supper to complete pages. recent contact prints before preparing a new picture list. 17 French Club Practices Native Traditions FRENCH CLUB for 1970-71 consisisted of—front row: Julie Juelfs, Glenda Haines, Linda Yung.

The Christmas party, one of the many held during the year, was planned in the traditional French customs. The exchange of gifts climaxed the party as Le Pere Noel, or Santa Claus, placed the presents in each member's shoes. Other club activities included the initiation of new members, boule—a popular French sport of tossing wooden balls for accuracy—French bingo, and other word games. —- , ONE OF the ways in which he is an active participant in the French Club's business and recreation, Mr. Ortiz, sponsor of the foreign club, takes his turn at JUDY STANTON.

Rich Castleberry and Kathy Birdsall phone KIMB Radio Station to tape Longhorn Air Notes. Although newly installed equipment made a taped program possible on busy days. Longhorn Air Notes broadcasted as a live five minute radio program each day giving area listeners a run down of KCHS activities. Broken down into different areas to insure an experienced crew each year, the staff was headed by returning regulars Rich Castleberry, Susan Jones and Nancy Moretnson with John Castleberry and Kathy Birdsall acting as other regular broadcasters. Alternates Paul Cammack and David Baltensperger rounded out the Air Notes staff, filling in for the regulars when conflicts made it impossible for them to broadcast the program.

In addition to performing at home football games, the marching Longhorns took first place in class B competition at Hiram Scott Band Day in Scottsbluff. Opening the concert season, the 96 band members presented the Marianna Jennings Memorial Concert, then performed the spring concert in April. Composed of thirty players each from Sidney, Scottsbluff and Kimball, Kimball hosted the first clinic in five years. Spending the night in local homes, the students practiced for two days, ending with a concert directed by Thayne Tolle, contemporary muscian from Wichita, Kansas. Causing the greatest excitement however, was the school board's decision to appropriate funds for new uniforms. Doubling for marching and concert season next year, the uniforms consisted of a tuxedo, overlay and high black hats. Replacing the fifteen year old grey antiques, these uniforms brought great happiness to bandsmen and the director. AFTER STATE wide auditions, JoAnn Ebel, Patti Wackel, Gene Dowd, who sat first chair cornet, and Susan Jones were chosen to attend Nebraska's All State Band Clinic.

At the request of various organizations, the small groups performed at many community functions. Swing Choir members, who were selected by auditions open to all three choruses, sang contemporary and traditional favorites. Composed entirely of sophomores, Madrigal used period costumes to accentuate their performance of Renaissance style love ballads.

Captain Von Trapp (Rich Castleberry) signals the children (Patti Wackel, Tom Anderson, Jeanne Luther, Todd Hendrickson, Chris Vogler, LeAnn Russell and Pen Benstead) to stand at attention in their straight line. To meet the challenge of the popular modern musical Sound of Music by Rogers and Hammerstien, the 100 members of the cast and crews worked in concentrated re hersals for eight and one half weeks. Headed by director and producer Mr. Riechert, ten adult volunteers took charge of costumes, makeup, lighting. At a time before the outbreak of World War II, the plot revolved around Maria, a postulant who seemed ill-fitted for Abbey life. Sent to the Von Trapp house to be a governess for the Captain's seven children, Maria brings music and love back into their lives. However, Maria and the captain's new-found happiness as man and wife is shattered by the invasion of Austria; and the Von Trapps find they must flee from their beloved home. DISCUSSING THEIR large financial estates. Captain Von Trapp (Rich Castleberry), Max Detweiler (Ron Begley), and Elsa (Lynda Reemts) talk of the future marriage plans of the Captain and Elsa. 30 WALTZING AND enjoying the party, the friends and neighbors of Captain Von Trapp attend an elaborate party given in honor of Elsa Schraeder.

Marta (LeeAnn Russell), Brigitta (Chris Vogler), Louisa (Jeanne Luther) and Kurt (Todd Hendrickson), forget about the thunder storm, Maria (Jincy Blakeslee) begins to sing. HEARING THE Captain's summons, the maid Frau Schmidt (Susan Jones) and the butler Franz (Steve Kuhlman) reminisce of the days before they were called by a whistle. ON MARIA'S wedding day, the Mother Abbess (Kathy Birdsall), Sister Berthe (Patty O'Nele), and Sister Margaretta (Vicki Phillips) give Maria (Jincy Blakeslee) advice and wish her happiness in her new life with the Von Trapp family. WITH THE wedding ceremony completed, Maria and the Captain face their prospective happiness as the nuns prepare to return to the Abbey. AFTER DELIVERING a telegram.

Kimball's Chapter of Future Farmer's of America, over the past three years, grew to become one of the most active organizations in KCHS. Interest and participation by members, Sponsor Mr. Dan Acheson, and community backers, combined with hard work and devotion, resulted in the honors, awards, and statewide recognition which the club received during the 1970-71 school year. Activities, ranging from traditional to experimental, included: co-sponsoring the FFA-FHA Dance; raffling an FFA steer; holding a soup supper; participating in the AK-SAR-BEN Award Program; sponsoring the FFA cannon for home football games; initiating twelve new Greenhands; honoring businessmen backers; and holding educational field trips and project tours. The club also combined with the Hillsdale-Burns Chapter to host the first Tri-State Livestock Exposition. Numerous honors were bestowed on Kimball's FFA Chapter and individual members as the club partook in many district, state and national affairs. They attended the Western Lifestock Show, State Leadership Camp, National Convention, placed fourth in State Farm Safety, won high honors at the All State Contest, and placed third and second respectively at the District Vo-Ag and FFA Contest. At the State Convention, the Chapter received the first National Emblem ever given to Kimball and was named one of the top two chapters of the state, enabling it to compete with FFA clubs from all over the nation.

Throughout the year, KCHS'ers chapter of Future Homemakers of America strove to better themselves through their activities. With the help of Mrs. Sandra Seems, sponsor of the organization, new members became acquainted with the procedures of the club; and newly elected officers became familiar with their jobs. Annual events for the club included the FHA Christmas Party, the FHA-FFA dance and the presentation of the Betty Crocker Homemaker of Tomorrow Award. New officers also attended the Future Homemakers district convention held in Gordon. With other clubs belonging to the District 9 area the chapters installed officers, held business meetings and gave the flag, emblem and creed ceremonies. LEANNE BAIRD was chosen as local Betty Crocker Homemaker of Tomorrow from the results of a standardized test.

Australia as a Rotary Exchange Student. For the first time Kimball not only hosted an exchange student but sponsored one overseas. Under the Rotary program, Mari Lund from Sweden brought her customs and traditions to Kimball while Tom Eastman took the American way of life to Australia. Following the Rotary policy of staying with different families, both Mari and Tom had six to seven sets of parents during their stays. Living in America is just great, stated Mari. In Kimball Mari fit right in; she participated in Pep Club and Student Council and was crowned the 1971 Twirp Queen. Throughout her stay in Kimball, Mari often remarked that, although she looked forward to returning home, she dreaded speaking Swedish because English was easier and provided more ways of expression. Tom Eastman found his stay in Australia greatly enhanced by Ewan Vickery, a past exchange student to Kimball from Australia, who offered advice and encouragement to Tom. Although the language posed no serious problems, Tom had to adjust to a strictness in the school not found in Kimball. Each day he was required to wear the school's uniform; and he was also limited on his jewelery but was finally allowed to wear his class ring. At his school in Burra, Tom competed in many of their sports activities and proved outstanding on their swimming team. DRESSED IN her native costume, Mari Lund tells of her GIVING THE foreign exchange student a warm welcome, Swedish life at a convocation given for the student body. Mr. Brown introduces Mari to her classmates for the coming year. LAST YEAR'S Girl Stater, Debbie Babl shows part of the typi-cal Girl Stater's outfit to Theresa Volkmer who will wear a similar uniform at this year's Cornhusker Convention.

Students Take Active Part In Government CALVIN BARTELS, Tim Klassen of Bushnell, and Buddy Robbins discuss the responsibilities of their elected office with Sheriff Merl Barker as a part of County Government Day. County Government Day was held early in the year for Kimball, Dix, and the Bushnell juniors. The participating students were elected during their social studies classes by members of their classes, to various governmental offices of the county courthouse. After spending most of the day touring the courthouse and visiting their respective offices, the students returned to the school for a question and answer session. Debbie Babl and Richard Castleberry were selected to represent Kimball at the 1970 Cornhusker Girl and Boy State in Lincoln. The sessions were held the first v «ek in June; and highlighting the week of the study of Nebraska government were the campaigns and elections for various government offices. Debbie held office on the Board of Trustees of State Colleges, and Rich was elected Senator.

Participating in various freshman activities, Mr. Bunner coached their football, basketball and track teams, and acted as class sponsor, as well as teaching biology and general science courses. PRECISION MEASUREMENTS ensure Wes Lamberson, Buddy Robbins, and Dave Heaton that they will successfully form a new substance in chemistry lab. Advanced biology, a new class, marked another expansion to the science department. More correctly labled physiology, this course contained detailed studies of the human skeleton and nervous system, sex and reproduction, and disections of the fetal pig and individual animal organs. Serving as a basis leading to the advanced course, regular biology stressed many of the same topics. In the same manner, chemistry included photography and chemical reactions, while honors chemistry, another advanced course, dealt with the topics in greater detail. Physics students found math a valuable aid in solving the many equations of the science. Concentrating more on heat and electricity, students also performed labs on Carnots' Cycle and Michael Faraday's principle. Courses in general science and earth science rounded out the department. TAKING NOTES and listening to lectures becomes a daily routine to general science students Steve Knigge and Dave Sizemore. Math Experiments With New Procedures Courses in general math, algebra, and geometry, which are included in the KCHS curriculum, provided background material covering factoring, logarithms, trigonometry, proofs, and probability; subject matter that proved to be a valuable aid to senior math students who spent a portion of the year studying at their own rates. Breaking from the traditional classroom techniques, classtime was used for individual study and questions. Without pressure from the teacher, these students had the responsibility of reading the text, working problems, and taking tests only to benefit themselves. Most students agreed that this procedure instilled a challenge to their abilities and required more work on their part; however, they gained and retained a greater amount of knowledge of the subject. TO BETTER understand her senior math assignment, Margaret Nelson seeks assistance from Mr. Haun who also teaches geometry and advanced algebra. As extracurricular activities, Mr. Haun coaches novice and varsity cross country and track. VICKI SISSON becomes more proficient in factoring under the helpful instruction of Mr. Marchant. Mr. Mar-chant instructs Algebra I and is assistant football coach and reserve wrestling coach. MR. CLAY, who teaches General Math I and II and serves as varsity football coach and K-Club sponsor, explains one of the many new math procedures while his class listens. 72 Social Sciences Become College Orientated WORLD GEOGRAPHY students listen intently as Mr. Calise lectures on one of the various topics concerned with climate and natural resources.

Acting as Junior class sponsor and Freshman basketball coach complements Mr. Ladme's schedule of world and American History classes. LOIS PERKINS charts a continual rise in inflationary prices, demonstrating the ever-increasing cost of living, a problem examined in economics. Including studies on environment, past civilizations and the making of the United States, geography, world history and American History courses informed students of reasons lying behind present world conditions, to extend this knowledge, American Problem classes studied government and current events relying on lectures, newspapers, and Time magazine. Approaching world affairs through a commercial aspect, economics students discussed inflation, labor unions, and the stock market. Concluding over population was the major world problem, each student attempted to provide a solution. Psychology, comprising the second semester of American Problems, acted as an introduction to college requirements. In this study, students only gained the basic concepts of human behavior, touching on areas of mental health. MR. GLASSEY, American History and American Problems instructor and Senior class sponsor, demonstrates his usual disgust of publications by scoffing the photographer. 73 Knowledge Through Composition, Analyzation In four years of English, students developed in areas of grammar, composition and literature. Beginning with a thorough study of sentence structure, freshmen classes also studied literature by acting out one-act plays. Sophomore English students developed writing techniques in narrative, short story and descriptive styles. Literature examinations aided students in writing an original short story. Besides the study of American literature. Juniors attempted to analyze and to appreciate poetry through the study of contemporary poet. Bob Dylan. Preparing students for college, senior English classes studied tragedy, Christian epics and satire. A research paper and tests, given as in-class compositions and theme papers, developed the student's ability to think and write efficiently and effectively. TEACHING BOTH senior and junior English, Mrs. Hickman oversees the junior's American literature projects for The Adventures of Jaimie McPheeters. GOING OVER an assignment, Mrs. Morehouse. 9th grade English instructor, helps Jeanne Luther.

PIERCE, junior English instructor, discusses composition ideas with Dar Stahla. '4 Art And Journalism Emphasize Student's Ability To Express, Create, Accomplish Each day found journalism students performing various tasks involved in the publication department. Hurrying to meet the deadlines of the paper and yearbook, students wrote stories, copy, cropped pictures and developed film. By this working experience, students gained a first hand insight to the amount of work and organization required in all phases of publications. Art students found self-expression through oil paintings, sculpture, wood carvings, facial drawings and cartoonings. While Art I studied the basics of composition, perspective and drawing. Art II classes developed individual talents and techniques through independent study of projects of their own choosing. USING THEIR journalism period for publication work. Rich Castleberry phones KIMB Radio Station to tape Air Notes, while Margaret Nelson and Debbie Kallhoff sort Longhorn Notes for distribution. UNDER THE supervision of Mrs. Dietz, Art I and Art II instructor, Janet Wilemon completes her wax sculpturing; a project used in place of her semester test. NEW TO the journalism department, Ron Begley and Ed Bowden prepare their equipment for the day’s video taping session. LISTENING TO speeches given by his students, Mr. Ortiz watches for expression, diction and organization. Besides speech and drama, Mr. Ortiz also teaches French I and II, driver's education and sponsors French Club. French, Speech And Drama Add New Understanding And Broaden Cultural Awareness Beginning in French I with the basics of grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation, students advanced to literature, composition and proficiency in speaking in the second year of French. Films, lectures, folk stories and songs on the history, cities, and people of France were included in the course to give students, not only the speaking principles of the country, but also an understanding of its culture and native customs. Speech class endeavored to establish poise and self-confidence in students by practical experience in various types of public speaking and debate. By work in oral interpretations, reader's theater, and the complete staging and direction of one act plays, students found a method of self-expression and gained a better appreciation of the dedication involved in professional theater. AS A part of their study of drama, Janet Luther and Bruce Gould use their imaginations to create model sets for various plays. BY LISTENING and repeating sentences on a taped dialogue correlating to the textbook, Nancy Hansen practices her French pronunciation and comprehension in language lab. 76 Business Skills Aim Toward Future Jobs UNDER THE watchful eye of Miss Golson. typing students work dilegently to increase speed and accuracy.

STUDENTS BUSY themselves with bookkeeping, while Mr. Hall looks over past class assignments. Mr. Hall coaches reserve basketball and acts as Sophomore class sponsor as well as teaching typing, bookkeeping and economics. Preparing for the future through the many business courses offered, students acquired business skills in office practice. An important part of office skills, students gained experience on adding machines and the electronic printing calculator. A new addition to the department, the calculator performed difficult arithmetic functions efficiently. Shorthand students practiced many hours taking dictation and improving their writing skill. Typing students diligently concentrated on their exercises hoping to increase speed and accuracy. By keeping records, business transactions, solving problems in practice sets and various other complicated business procedures, bookkeeping students were challenged to become more proficient in their work. STUDYING ONE of the various stages of office practice, JoAnn Ebel prepares for a test. 77 P.E. Department Expands Health Program ACTING AS umpire, Mr. Hendrickson participates in a fast-hitting wiffle ball game.

He also sponsors K-Club. Providing a better opportunity for students to shape themselves bodily and mentally, physical education classes were held five days a week instead of the customary three days. Conditioning themselves physically, students participated in vigorous exercise and sports, including soccer, flag football, and tumbling. Health, relatively new to the P.E. department, endeavored to inform students on drugs, alcohol, and smoking. Discussions, accompanied with transparencies on growing, developing, interacting, and decision making, were designed to show the effects of physical, mental, and social elements on man. Combined with studies of moods and behavior modifiers, health class attempted to develope the students' individual mental attitudes. GREG TAYLOR, Allen Thummel, and STRENGTH AND form count as Geraldine Flores completes a successful headstand Bruce Parish study one of the transpar- while Mrs. Buddecke offers advice and criticism. Besides teaching girls' P.E. and health encies used to inform students of the classes, Mrs. Buddecke also serves as sponsor for GAA and pep club, hazards of smoking. MRS. SEEMS. Homemaking I, II, and III instructor at KCHS, leads a lively discussion on family relations, a topic taught in Senior Home Economics. Besides teaching homemaking, Mrs. Seams is sponsor of FHA. Home Economics Leans Toward Efficiency To develope the techniques and skills necessary to homemaking, students began their study with the fundamentals of food, nutrition, sewing and intra-family relations advancing to family meals, home planning and sewing projects. Senior home economics students delved into subjects on home furnishing, wedding ettiquette, and prenatal care. During the three years of home economics included in the curriculum, students developed a working concept of the many aspects involved in being a homemaker. STITCH BY stitch, seam by seam.

MR. ACHESON, vocational agriculture instructor, lends a helping hand in teaching correct welding techniques. He also sponsors the FFA. With The Expanding Vocational Department AFTER PICKING up a test his students have completed, Mr. McCombs, who teaches auto mechanics, gives directions for the next assignment on a new branch of mechanics. New this year, auto mechanics was a part of the growing vocational department at KCHS. Running for three hours, class time was used for lecture and detailed inspection of various mechanical engines. Completion of the two year course qualified students for mechanics apprenticeship and was the equivalent of at least one quarter's work at a technical school. In girl's shop, which was also new to the department, students constructed projects as did regular shop classes. However, the latter's projects were more detailed and elaborate. Classes in driver's education, vocational agriculture and machine shop completed the vocational department. In these courses, students covered areas of safe driving and reaction time, grain types, welding, and tractor repair, and the utilization and construction of various types of mechanical devices. The vocational studies endeavored to give students a working knowledge by practical experience. And through this, they would be prepared for a self-supporting occupation after high school graduation. 81 Administration Favors Student Fulfillment, CONCERNED WITH individualizing instruction, Mr. Brown, Mr. Morehouse, and Mr. Streightiff, curriculum coordinator, discuss plans for a meeting to be held with all faculty members during second semester on this new method of teaching. MR. MOREHOUSE, guidance counselor, looks through college information pamphlets aiding students in choosing their careers ACTIVE IN all activities surrounding KCHS life, principal Robert Brown sells tickets at a home football game. ON THE first day of school, Mr. Hensley, superintendent of schools, extends a welcome to all new and returning students. 82 Responsibility In Individualized Instruction BEFORE DECIDING on the bus issue, Mr. Robbins. Mrs. McMichael and Mr. Ebel study both sides of purchasing a new bus for transporting KCHS students to out of town activities. Pleased with the majority of the student body, Superintendent Max Hensley, Principal Robert Brown, Guidance Counselor Charles Morehouse, and the school board, were nevertheless, aware of the problems confronting KCHS. Drugs, a major issue, were found to be used by some students although there was no widespread experimentation. Abolition of the dress code, however, presented few problems with the student's mode of dress. By increasing stress on vocational studies and individualized instruction, administrators hoped that students, who had never known success in the classroom, would experience a feeling of achievement. To provide an outlet for the growing emotional and financial strains placed on students by world affairs, work study, a program combining academic classes and working experience, was encouraged to fulfill graduation requirements. SCHOOL BOARD members, Mr. Wayne Robbins; Mrs. Alice Hensley, superintendent, meet to discuss new proposals McMichael, secretary; Mr. Vic Ebel, president; Mr. Al and appropriations. Sobieszczyk; Mr. Ira Blakeslee, vice-president; and Mr. 83 Untiring Personnel Dedicate Themselves To Planning and preparing nourishing hot lunches for the KCHS student body and faculty was accomplished through the efforts of Mrs. Ruth Vencill and her staff. Also on their year round agenda was preparing interesting, and tasty banquets for school activities. Mrs. Elizabeth Eastman, school nurse, attended to the health of all KCHSers. Besides giving yearly check-ups, she administered medication to all who were ill or injured. Keeping the school clean was the responsibility of the KCHS custodians. They were the main force running the school efficiently by putting in hours of dusting, washing, and polishing. KCHS's office personnel served the school by handling all secretarial duties. By their efforts school records were kept in tact and office duties successfully performed. KEEPING EACH student's health file accurate and up to date, Mrs. Eastman, school nurse at KCHS, makes an annual check on Kathy Birdsall's ears. MRS. CARROLL, guidance secretary, is kept busy by the many requests for information on college entrance examinations. AS ONE of the many duties as secretary, Mrs. Hedm receives telephone calls informing her of student absentees.

Participating in band. Pep Club, K-Club and other KCHS organizations, their freshman year was highlighted by class activities such as athletic competition and traveling to Scottsbluff for a musical based on a book they were studying in freshman English. With their new freedom and privileges, freshmen also found new responsibilities. Choosing classes to fulfill graduation requirements made many aware that the time had come to plan for their future.

Carrying on the customs of their memorable year, the junior class ordered and received their class rings. Different from previous years, the class voted on a ring which would be standard for the next three years. Although all were round with the Longhorn emblem, everyone could choose their own color and kind of stone to make their ring individual. However, the most looming tradition which faced the juniors was the planning of the Junior-Senior Prom. Beginning early in the year, the juniors organized concession sales, a magazine sale, bake sales and a pop bottle drive to help fill the treasury for the expenses of that special night. After choosing the theme, committee chairmen began to coordinate decorations, colors, and plans to set a charming and enchanting atmosphere for the May first affair. Finally a week before prom, the junior class donated time, effort and hard work .

With the opening of the 1970-71 school year came all the responsibility and excitement that belongs solely to seniors. Having no dances to plan or concessions to organize, the senior class quickly discarded their class business, deciding to donate their funds toward the Marianna Jenning's Scholarship Find and to rent red robes for commencement. In place of class activity, students directed their energy to become organizational leaders, varsity players, and superior upperclassmen. However, on their serious side, the seniors looked toward their futures with growing concern. For those planning to attend college there were SAT and ACT tests, college forms and scholarship applications to complete. For others, vocational and business schools were investigated with care, while still other classmates looked for some form of permanent employment. But foremost on every senior's mind was to fill his year with as much activity and enjoyment as possible. The year passed almost too quickly, and seniors often had heavy hearts knowing that this was their last musical, their last game, their last Prom. When the long-awaited night of graduation arrived, the Class of 1971 shed tears of mixed emotions, joy, relief, satisfaction, sadness, reflection, and melancholy.

Sharing—experiencing movements together, Oaring-to challenge in action, in mind, and in spirit. Individualism—to do your own thing. August Thoughts Drift Towards School August caused a flourish of activity as students and faculty reluctantly turned their thoughts to the up-coming school year. Football practice had begun and the secretaries and custodians were making final preparations for the barrage to come. Opening day caused excitement and confusion as upperclassmen greeted old friends and faculty and freshmen hunted bewilderedly for classes. Bringing a welcome relief, September was sparked by the soap scrimmage and the signing party for THE OPENING day of school always brings confusion and students often consult their the 1969-70 yearbook. Mr. Duis in- schedules to find where to go for their next class, terrupted classes one day as he snapped individual pictures and Ensign Steven Becker brought together the first convocation to speak on the Naval Academy. Later in the month, a second convocation was held to inform students of the work of NASA. Spirit was building as Pep Club girls rushed to complete their newly designed uniforms for the first game, and the city finally finished painting the Longhorn emblem on the watertower. A REPRESENTATIVE from NASA describes the design of the spacesuit and how the astronaut functions in the suit, using Bill Arnold as his model, assisted by John Anderson. HOMECOMING ROYALTY for 1970—Steve Watson, Sherry queen; Patti Wackel, Dallen Juelfs, first attendants. Crown- Southard, second attendants; Mike Noah, king; Jincy Blakeslee, bearers were Scott Shadegg and Brenda Sakelaris. Homecoming—A Week Of Soaring Spirits DANCING TO the music provided by the Witch Hazel Barb O'Hare and Donny Paschall enjoy the Homecoming Dance. ''Happiness is a Victory! and although Kimball did not win over the Chadron Cardinals, the 0 0 tie did not stop KCHS from making the 1970 Homecoming a memorable event. Throughout Homecoming Week, strains of the school song and chants echoed through the halls as Pep Club girls waved picket signs, cast hexes, and walked backwards to classes to show how much they backed their team. On Friday's eve, hopes as well as flames soared high with bonfire pep talks, cheers and music. Finally Friday arrived, giving an extra boost to spirit, making Pep Club girls willing to spend just a little more time decorating, the band to step a little higher, and the boys to hit a little harder. With Snoopy in control from atop his dog house, the disappointment of the stalemate was soon forgotten as couples danced to the music of the Witch Hazel. CIRCLING THE bonfire, pepsters start a chain reaction of spirit. 123 Students Readjust To The Humdrum SUSAN PETERSEN and Lea Kolar take time for some fun as they decorate the student center, building spirit for Friday's game. A SYMBOL of the Pep Club's affection for their coaches, Dar Stahla presents Mr. Clay with a red rose. WITH COMFORT in mind, Jeanne Griffith wears decorative jeans and a tie-dyed shirt. A COMMON sight to Kimball fans at all home football games, the Marching Longhorns present a half-time show directed by Mr. Harry McNees. WORKING INDUSTRIOUSLY to create spirit, Peggy Wolff, Donna Farley and Georgia Eatmon create name tags as good luck charms for the athletes. NOT AFRAID to set a new trend, COMBATING THE heat, Duane Glenda Haines models her midi skirt. Kind and Buddy Robbins choose tank-top attire. Of School Routine FRESHMEN EAGERLY board the school bus which will take them to Scottsbluff for a play in correlation with their English studies. A WELCOMED improvement over the past, the newly paved parking lot proved to be a great convenience for student drivers. CHORUS MEMBERS crowd around the bulletin board, anxious to find the results of Swing Choir and Madrigal auditions. As the first weeks of school dissolved into the busy months of October and November, KCHS'ers fell into the daily grind of school life. This year students acquired a new freedom; the dress code was eliminated. Girls set new styles with a variety of bells, jeans, and pant outfits and tried a variation of dress lengths. The boys' hair took new lengths; and not to be out done by the girls, they led their fashions with ruffled shirts, velour bellbottoms and accented belts. Every morning at 7:45, bandsmen lined up on the football field or streets to practice for the up-coming halftime show or the Farmer's Day Parade. Early one morning their dedication was well rewarded as they marched to the park for a surprise breakfast hosted by band parents. An invitation to the Hiram Scott Band Day again stirred enthusiasm and the Marching Longhorns worked extra hard, resulting in a first place in Class B in the marching competition. Elsewhere in the music department, vocal students were busy preparing for the fall concert and auditioning for Swing Choir and Madrigal. Seniors' thoughts turned toward the future, taking the SAT and ACT tests for college entrance. Meanwhile, with thoughts of Prom, the junior class began their magazine drive, eagerly canvassing the streets to sell subscriptions. Teachers Convention brought c welcome vacation to students as they rested in preparation for November's activities. All too soon the first quarter was over, and time for Parent-Teacher Conferences. College Night came, providing students with a chance to plan for the future as they talked with college representatives. Journalism Convention called editors to Lincoln for two days of workshops. Top state awards were presented to KCHS for the previous year's publications. Other students also found themselves attending out-of-town functions. The FFA sent four members to the National Convention in Kansas City; 19 to the District Convention in Gordon; and Chapter members attended a livestock judging contest at Torrington. Although the year was just beginning, awards and honors were already being presented to KCHS students and organizations. Rich Castleberry was named a National Merit Semifinalist; Bob Nemnich and Steve Watson received All Conference for football; and Leo O'Hare, Rich Perry, Bruce Parish and Robbie Cannon received honorable mention. On the sports scene, gridsters were scoring victories in hard-hitting games and the cross country team qualified for state. As football and cross country drew to a close with the annual awards convocation, basketball and wrestling opened with tough, conditioning workouts. A girl's volleyball team was also organized. And after seven years of muddy feet and stuck cars, the student parking lot was paved. 125 Enthusiasm Renewed With December kindled up-lifting spirits as students counted the days until Christmas vacation. Roundballers and matmen began their season, anticipating in seriousness the holiday tournaments. Other students continued to vie for individual honors. Several participated in the Voice of Democracy contest, in which Bruce Parish took first at a local level and went on to compete at District where he placed third. Music students traveled to Sidney for Hastings Honor Band and Chorus tryouts, gaining pre-audition experience in Showcase, a newly initiated program designed to give music students a chance to demonstrate their abilities. Elsewhere in the music department, the choirs prepared and presented a Chirstmas program; Mr. Reichert announced The Sound of Music to be this year's musical. The sophomore and freshmen singers also displayed their holiday spirit by caroling throughout the town. As the Yuletide season drew nearer, students were filled with excitement as decorations were displayed in many rooms to relieve the somberness of study. Christmas trees were decorated, stockings hung, and caroling parties planned as KCHS joined in the holiday spirit. The last day of school before vacation found many classes hosting parties with students furnishing SOPHOMORE CAROLERS enjoy their get-together as they spread Christmas joy throughout the town. MRS. MOREHOUSE'S freshmen English students find that Christmas decorations add a lot to relieve the humdrum of their daily work in the classroom. SANTA CLAUS arrives on the scene at a pep rally, giving KCHS cheerleaders their one wish for Christmas, a victory for the Kimball Longhorn teams. WITH WINTER comes the cold as Patti Wackel snuggles deep into Mark Storm-berg’s coat, finding that the chill seems to penetrate even the walls of the school. Thought Of Winter Vacation homemade cookies, Christmas music, and of course mistletoe, to bid classmates a Merry Christmas. Vacation time was filled with a variety of activities for everyone. Dave 8altensperger traveled to Chicago for a journalism convention and the basketball and wrestling squads competed in various tournaments, always followed by a few dedicated Pep Club members. Besides family gatherings, students found time to attend a party given in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Belmear, past KCHS teachers who were presently residing in Bermuda. And if anyone became bored with the holiday vacation, there was always time for ice skating, skiing and playing a fast game of ice hockey. With the New Year, there arrived a new eagerness and freshness to KCHS life. Shortly after school resumed, tryouts for the musical were held, the cast chosen; and students were soon initiated into the busy schedule of stage life. The band was polishing numbers for the Marianna Jennings Memorial Band Concert, their first performance of the season. However, the arrival of the New Year also brought the realization that the school year would soon be half over. Everyone began digging out old papers, compiling semester notebooks, completing projects and reviewing past tests in preparation for up-coming semester tests. THE ICE skating rink was a popular meeting place for students during the winter season. READY TO welcome everyone with a glass of punch, Margaret Nelson watches for any new guests which might be wandering to the publication's Christmas party. STAINED GLASS windows, painted by art students, stand as their contribution to the Christmas spirit. 127 Second semester brought a radical change in classrooms as administration and faculty strove to individualize instruction. Dr. Streightiff, a past education professor from Hiram Scott College, joined the KCHS staff as curriculum coordinator and worked with teachers on the new method of education. Seven individuals were chosen to perform in the Hastings Honor Choir and Band while the entire vocal department worked diligently on The Sound of Music, readying it for the March opening. Varsity Choir also traveled to Alliance for a Tri-City Clinic. The band also held its first clinic in five years. Thirty Kimball musicians were chosen to play in the select band and to host the visiting bandsmen in their homes overnight. FFA Week spurred bustling activity in the farmer's organization. A convocation was held for members to present their winning demonstrations and speeches, given earlier in the month at District competition. Rich Perry won first in Public Speaking at the District level, enabling him to go on and compete at State. Other individuals also earned various honors. Rich Castleberry received the Regents Scholarship; Dave Baltensberger received a state Conservation Award; and LeAnn Baird was named Betty Crocker Homemaker of Tomorrow. Sports seasons were drawing to a close as District playoffs were held. Loel Hayden, heavyweight wrestler, qualified for State and Dave Heaton and Dave Lancaster received honorable mentions for All Conference basketball. The wrestlers worked out a few weeks longer, hosting a grade school clinic, climaxed by an inter-grade all day tournament. STUDENT TEACHERS taking their internship at KCHS are Mr. and Mrs. Randy Knox, Miss Geraldine Lawson and Miss Lane Kircher. MEMBERS OF the Epperson family, who formed a local group, provide the music for the FFA-FHA Dance. New Year Brings Second Semester JANET LUTHER, Chris Vogler, LeAnn Russell and Peri Bernstead practice one of their many moves in the Sound of Music. Exchange Student Elected Twirp Queen 1970-71 TWIRP ROYALTY—Monica Volkmer, Dallen Juelfs, first attendants; Marie Lund, queen; Felix Flores, king; Jincy Blakeslee. Bob Nemnich, second attendants. The original Farmer in the Dell would have been quite envious of the 1971 Twirp created by the sophomore class. Decorated in streamers of yellows, reds, oranges and browns, the atmosphere was enhanced by bales of hay, chickens and even an outhouse. Dress ranged from patched blue jeans to flowered overalls, long granny dresses to frilly aprons and long-johns, as couples danced to the music of the Witch Hazel. Another favorite attration was the County Fair complete with a fish pond and a post office. Everyone also enjoyed the jailhouse, where wandering dates were imprisoned until released for a penny or a kiss, and casted their vote for Best Dressed Couple at the ever-busy ballot booth. Highlighting the evening was the crowning of the Twirp Royalty and the presentation of the Best Dressed Couple Award to Lynda Reemts and Bruce Frederick. COUNTRY FOLK Susan Vencill and Mark Nachtigal dubiously watch the carrying-ons of their dancing friends. VENTURING OUT in their red longjohns, Lynda Reemts and Bruce Frederick were voted as best dressed couple. 129 Season's Change Triggers Epidemic Of BAND CAPTAIN Patti Wackel directs a stirring Sousa march during the Spring Concert, a tradition of the KCHS band. AT THE end of her convocation, Mike Noah presents Mari Lund with a KCHS necklace, a gift from the senior class. TAKING A break from practice for cheerleading tryouts, Jeanne Luther and Cindy Gerner attempt some tumbling stunts. PARTICIPATING IN the girl's District Track competition, Karen Baird concentrates her efforts on the low hurdles. AT AN informal class held outside on the grass, a common sight at KCHS during warm spring days, Debbie Moehr leads class discussion. Spring Fever; Kaleidoscope Of Activity MR CHRISTIAN, a professional photographer from Gering, talks with juniors about settings, portraits and prices for their up-coming senior pictures. Thoughts of spring whirled in students' minds, comprehending that there were only three more months of school left. Everything seemed to revolve around the vocal department's production of The Sound of Music. The cast along with pit orchestra practiced five nights a week, working to make the presentation a professional production. After two and a half months of practice, the musical was presented and rated a fine success. Somehow between musical, basketball and wrestling, third quarter slipped away; and it was again time for Parent-Teacher Conferences. During this two day vacation, seniors diligently worked to complete their research papers. Any spare time was spent filling out scholarship, grant and college applications. The senior girls were invited to the Business and Profes- sional Women's Banquet, held to inform the girls of the opportunity in the professional world. Thoughts of graduation drew nearer with the arrival of announcements. Juniors were busy making arrangements for Prom. Working out floor plans, setting up committees and deciding on senior favors were only the beginnings of their large project ahead. Meanwhile, sophomores excitedly chose their class rings. Easter vacation gave students a chance to leave behind thoughts of school, to enjoy a few days of freedom. Music students again entered into competition with other schools at the District Music Contest. Both band and chorus took a variety of solos and small ensembles and all entries represented Kimball well. The annual Spring Band Concert TRYING TO understand some of the anxieties blind people experience, two freshmen girls wander around the halls to carry out a freshmen English assignment. included the presentation of the John Philip Sousa Award to Patti Wackel and recognition of senior bandsmen. Mr. Bill Carroll, was featured vocal soloist and Patti Wackel, band captain, traditionally directed one of the musical selections. Tracksters worked hard, improving at each meet, trying to reach goals before the District meet. A girl's track team was organized and the members worked hard to shape up for District, their only meet. Hints of Prom were found everywhere. Girls plotted to make sure that certain someone asked her; and after the date was finally arranged, they excitedly discussed and shopped for that special dress. Juniors strung crepe paper and stuffed chicken wire, all working together for that May first event. As King And Queen, Dallen And Vicki ROBBIE CANNON and Cmdi MacMill- TAKING THEIR traditional whirl around the ballroom. Queen Vicki Phillips and King ian were named as second attendants. Dallen Juelfs enjoy the solitary dance in their honor. 132 ADMIRING THE radical change in attire from jeans and mini-skirts to elegant formal wear, a group of students discuss Prom. Reign Over Quixotic Land Of “Camelot” CHOSEN AS first attendants were Patti Wackel and Rich Castleberry. Prom, the largest social event of the year, traditionally opened with the Junior-Senior Banquet, unveiling the secret theme of Camelot. Mr. Bob Reichert and the Madrigal provided entertainment, magically transforming the mood into an era of castles, dragons, and ladies-in-waiting. As the night sped on, couples found themselves crossing a tiny moor, greeted by knights in shining armor, dancing to the live music of the Fabaloos, as well as stopping periodically by the tiny ale house for refreshments and chatting with friends. The sound of trumpets announced the climax of the evening as the prom royalty was regally crowned for 1970-71. A MODEL castle of ''Camelot adorns the head table at the banquet. THE DOORMEN, Mike Shirk and Reed Gilmore, stand guard at the entrance of the castle's inner-court. LADIES-IN-waiting, Elaine Anderson and Susy Pease, and valets Harper High and Dennis Deboodt serve refreshments at Prom. Showers Douse Final Flourish Of May AS A necessity before leaving for summer vacation, Linda Trompke, Dallen Juelfs and Barb O'Hare give lockers a good cleaning. ELECTIONS BRING the extra-curricular seasons to a close, as students cast their ballots for next year's Student Council, class officers and cheerleaders. WAITING FOR the next event of District Track to be called, no one can resist taking advantage of the sunny weather to get a good start on a tan. DAVE LUKASSEN doesn't mind the WITH ALL but finals over, underclassmen take time at noon to relax, talk, and quickly rain as he takes a quiet stroll after school. skim textbooks to cram for the next hour's test. May, the last month of school and althouth the rain seemed to fall continually, everyone was filled with spring fever. Opening this busy month was the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom festivities. Many organizations were bringing the year to a close. The FFA, band, Student Council and publications department each held a banquet or a breakfast to distribute their awards and certificates of the past year. Fourteen new initiates were tapped into National Honor Society. This brought the total number of members of this select organization to 24. The vocal department presented their last concert for this school term. Both the Swing Choir and Madrigal performed and again senior members were recognized. Later in the month, auditions were held for any underclassmen interested in joining Varsity Choir. In the sports area, the track and golf squads participated in their final meets. District track drew many students to Scottsbluff to cheer for the Longhorns and to enjoy the sunshine. Kimball qualified eight for the state meet held in Kearney. Honors night was held for athletics, organizations and academics. Valedictorians and salutatorian were named; and the recipiants of the scholarships announced. As the last week drew closer, students made a final, but not too hearty effort to cram for year-end tests; and were relieved when books were finally handed in. Enthusiasm was not at all dampened by the many water fights held on Wednesday over the school grounds. For seniors the year ended a week earlier as they made a last check-in and practiced for baccalaureate and commencement exercises. Although the rain came again, they still enjoyed their Senior Week at the lake or at other enjoyable pastimes. Graduation came and was over, bringing their high school days to a close. However, underclassmen returned on Friday to pick up their report cards and bid farewell to classmates before leaving for their summer vacations. AT THE annual Band Banquet, band parents take part in the fun and contribute to the hilarity of the skits presented by creating a production of their own, mimicking the actions of their children. TAKING AN opportunity to relax before their scheduled appearances, KCHS musicians find the District Music Contest to be a hectic and nerve-racking experience. TOUCHED WITH spring fever, Linda Lewis, Marsha Hanway and Nancy Halstead enjoy the weather during their noon hour. 135 Honor Program Acknowledges Yearlong At this year's Honors Night program, both athletic and academic awards were presented.

Graduation Stirs Mixture ON THEIR last day of school, seniors practice for both Baccalaureate and Graduation. 138 Of Conflicting Emotions BEAMING WITH satisfaction, Felix Flores receives his hard-earned diploma. AFTER THE ceremony, parents, friends and relatives pass through the receiving line to give congratulations to their favorite graduates. To the 98 members of the class of 1971, graduation was excitement, speeches, farewells, diplomas, caps and gowns. It brought sighs of relief and laughter, sprinkled with tears and proud smiles. Thirteen years in the public school system, the 9:00 to 3:30 routine, had come to an end, causing sadness in some, joy in others. Nevertheless, everyone was touched with lingering memories of by-gone school days and good times shared with fellow classmates and was a bit hesitant to leave his high school life behind. Graduation was definitely the conclusion of the work, fun and involvement of one phase, but more, the beginning of a new epoch in life. The future stretched out, full of promise and hope as graduates enthusiastically made plans for college, careers and employment. Graduation was an end, but also a beginning of the fulfillment of long-planned and heart felt dreams. A TIME FOR US When fellowship, achievement, and good times meant so much. When even the small victories kindled the glow of satisfaction, When leaving brought the awesome realization that our sheltered lives had vanished. When the future stretched before us to be shaped by our own desires and drives... A TIME FOR US—remembered as an era past, leaving the future as reality. 141 Index Acheson, Dan 32, 65, 81 Brauer, Sandra 101 Dowd, Gene 20. 21. 23. 67. Hake.

Lonnie 93 Yung, Lyle 118 143 Thank You We have cleaned out our desk for next year's editors and emptied the last of our files. Throughout the year, we have learned the meaning of such words as self-sacrifice, dedication, and friendship; and have honestly given our all towards the making of this yearbook. And yet, now that the big job is finished, there is no sadness, no joy, only relief. As we pause to reflect on the past year, we would like to express our gratitude to all those who have been tolerant to the inconvenience and interuptions which have often been a part of the production of this book. And also to everyone who has managed to put up with us and offered their encouragement for the past year. You know who you are and we know who you are. Please accept our heartfelt thanks. THANK YOU, THANK YOU EVERYONE. 144 sari angelo, texi pj«s � ; a� 5i 1 . . . ..-••• •� : ' - - •... � • • • . • . • • . . • ..... • ... • : • .. •• • • • • . • • • � ; • • - • . . . • • • l • - • % ' X • ' ' 0 • • 4, � .
