And raise your eyes to the stars To hear the wind blow cold outside And feel a raindrop on the palm of your hand. A moment to stop ... And watch a sunbeam dance across your desk To think long, long thoughts And sigh at the years to come. A moment to be strong and sure . .. But also uncertain And a little afraid. But only for a moment. author unknown 3 Uniting 6 7 Academics Administrative Staff Helps Students, MEMBERS OF the board of education discuss plans for the current school year. They are: Mr. Robbins.

Students Picked To Study Government Opportunities to learn about government come in various ways to students in KCHS. In the fall, government classes participate in County Government Day sponsored by the local American Legion and Auxiliary. In the spring a junior boy and girl are selected to represent Kimball at Boys and Girls State, where experiences in local, state and even national government are encountered. Along with a chance to learn a great deal, there is also the fun of making new friends. Cindy Gerner and Greg Hafeman have been selected to travel to Lincoln this summer to spend a week attending Girls and Boys State. Next fall organizations throughout Kimball will be able to listen to these two students tell about what a great week they had. MR, ROSE discusses some of the opportunities Cindy and Greg can look forward to while attending Girls and Boys State. A.F.S. Chooses Becky For Summer Program MR.

Twelve foreign students have been brought to Kimball County High School in the past fourteen years; one student each year except 1966-67, 1970-71 and 1973. Students have received a better understanding of other parts of the world by having had these foreign boys and girls in KCHS. This summer Becky Pinkerton will be traveling to some part of the world as a summer AFS student. Although this will not give her the opportunity to attend school where she is sent, she nevertheless, will be able to bring back much information concerning the country she visits which she will share with everyone. In the fall Kimball students will become acquainted with an AFSer from South America. 67 Future Farmers Of America Have 58S REPORTER VCE-PRFSlOW PRESIOEMT SECRETARY TREASURER SENTINEL FFA OFFICERS—Mr. Dan Acheson, adviser; Tim Anderson, Jon Sandridge, Dave Lukassen, Leo O'Hare, Mike Moehr and Keven Walker, Marvin Nelson, parliamentarian, is standing be- hind the group.

Converging from the opening-day convocation, freshmen searched for their classrooms, sophomores' interests centered on becoming involved in more activities, juniors already had PROM thoughts in mind, and seniors seemed just glad to be on the final trek. The student body now had an opportunity to become better acquainted with Ernesto Bedmar, Rotary Exchange student, who had arrived in Kimball in late August. This was the year of the shrink vests, the smocks, waffle stompers, baggies, clogs, and platforms in girl's show fashions while the boys wore the layered look, higher-heeled shoes and double-breasted jackets were styled with large lapels for dressup. Almost everyone was riding a 3- or 10-speed bike, and kids were enjoying eating chocolate-covered frozen bananas. Volleyball, football, and cross-country practice were well underway when school began. Soon the GO BIG RED chant echoed through the halls—a sign that sport's competition had begun. Varsity football season ended with a 6-2-1 record, cross-country ranked fourth in the state in their class, and the varsity volleyball girls played a 3-6 season. Schools from Colorado and Wyoming joined Nebraska students at the second KCHS Tri-State Yearbook Workshop. Enrollment was up, and students spent a day exchanging yearbook ideas, discussing mutual problems, and learning what was new for the current year in yearbook production. September was also the month individual pictures of KCHS students were taken and upon arrival of the finished product, kids had fun exchanging with friends. With the arrival of the '72 yearbooks, the out-door signing party brought a large crowd of students who were anxious to reminisce the past year's happenings. A VERY SUPERIOR was awarded the Marching Longhorns at the street-marching competition in Fort Collins. The band watched a college game after their performance.

A break from regular schedule occurred for freshmen and juniors the several days they were given the I.T.E.D. tests. Yearbook and newspaper editors attended the high school press convention in Lincoln.

PROM, April 28, ushered in spring activities.

A part of their life concluding, 92 seniors attended Baccalaureate and Commencement. As their years at KCHS came to a close, many of the class of 1973 viewed these events, not only as an ending, but also a beginning. As the class marched into the auditorium, mixed feelings of joy and sadness entered their minds. And as the speakers concluded their talks, they began to realize that a very special part of their lives was about to end. The carefree days spent with close friends and classmates were over and graduation was probably tne last time many of the class would see each other. But also in their minds was the thought that this might be the beginning. A time to venture forth into the world on an independent basis and to fulfill long-held dreams and ambitions was just about to begin. We were ready to part with some of the old. We were graduates. MEMBERS OF the class of '73 march out of the auditorium following Baccalaureate. FAMILY AND FRIENDS gather in the Student Center after Commencement to congratulate members of the Class of 1973 and to wish them a successful future.

AND MRS. BENSTEAD, class parents, also assisted with the Career Night activities. Dreams, hopes, and new responsibilities were foremost in the minds of the freshmen as they entered KCHS this fall. A new way of school life was beginning. In a short time they soon became acquainted with their classes, teachers, classmates and they even found out upperclassmen were their friends. Being involved in the ITED testing program proved to be a real experience in ''sitting for a long time. Some of the students became involved in clubs, clinics, musical organizations, sports; yes, extra-curricular activities became an important part of high school. Many fun times became memories that still linger. And as the year neared an end, dreams of becoming upperclassmen were foremost in their minds, because there would always be bigger and better things in future high school experiences.

Because of the expense involved in giving the PROM, the juniors work during all the various athletic seasons running the concession stand. Magazine sales also helped raise money. Early in the year the class elects class parents. These parents are always available to help the class with any major problem which might arise. They are a tremendous help during the week before PROM when there is so much work to be done. Class sponsors are also a great aid to the juniors. They begin early in the year organizing the committees and conducting meetings in preparation for PROM. This year the class selected the theme Colour My World, and the night of April 28 was a climax to all the planning and working, for PROM had finally arrived.

With the opening of the 1972-73 school year came all the excitement, enthusiasm and responsibility that belong solely to seniors. Everyone looked forward to a great year, and directed their energy toward becoming leaders in the important organizations, athletic teams and class challenges. Early in the fall each of us started seriously to plan for the future. For those planning to go on to 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. Foremost on every senior's mind was to fill their year with as much activity and enjoyment as possible. The year passed almost too quickly, and often there were heavy hearts knowing that this was the last musical, the last game, the last PROM, or the last concert. Yes, all too quickly four years of high school are drawing to a close. They say it is one chapter of perhaps many in our lives, and few of us realize that this could perhaps be the last time our class will be together, because after commencement. May 24, 1973 our life at KCHS has ended, and we find new roads to travel. Ninety-two young men and women will each go their separate ways, not knowing what lies ahead, but hoping everyone will have a good life.
