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.

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.

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. RICH CASTLEBERRY, editor of Rich's Rebound, reviews the results of the previous week's games before writing his biweekly sports column for Longhorn Notes OFFERING HELP to publications on many respects, Mrs. Janes Morehouse, sponsor of Longhorn Notes, proofreads a stencil before prmtion begins.
