Seniors have reached an important milestone in life. High school years have come to an end, and it is now time to undertake new and different challenges which will direct each one to a more mature life especially if each will remember the class moto, I am not afraid of tomorrow for I have seen yesterday and I love today. 7 Seniors Assisted By Mr. Hal Butts Seniors looked forward 10 a busy exciting year, knowing classmates would be royalty, starting varsity players and leaders of organizations. Sadness was evident knowing we had attended our last homecoming, musical and prom. In the fall announcements and caps and gowns were ordered; we took SAT and ACT tests, applied for scholarships and looked for full-time employment. Time flew by so quickly. There were tears of joy and moments of sadness May 25 when seventy-nine seniors graduated in commencement exercises held in the gymnasium. It was a night to remember as we left KCHS forever to go on to college or fulltime jobs.

There are more activities in which to participate, there are more academic subjects to study to broaden their knowledge of the complexities of today's world. There is more excitement in advancing from one grade to another. Each year life becomes more of an exciting adventure, and students are encouraged to start early planning for future careers. 19 Freshman Class Assumes Its Role David Aguiniga David Autrey Ted Avila Randy Baker John Bates Randy Bateman Susan Bauer Mary Benke Todd Bentley Anita Biberos Kerry Bohac Scott Bokelman Christine Bourlier Pamela Burback Michael Cain Bryan Carlson David Carmichael Richard Castagna Sandera Castagna Robert Chiesa KAY PETERSON and Tracy Hendrickson use the library's facili- THESE FRESHMAN girls were caught by the cameraman during ties to find materials for an English 9 assignment. the pep club slumber party held in late August. 20 In Hectic Day To Day High School Life Jim Childress Michelle Christensen Darryl Coombs Bill Cortney Lanett Crocker Gary Danielson Scott Deboodt Virgil Drake Judy Dudney Jessie Dunn Vicky Easton Mary Fleagle Allen Frederick Jackie Goodman James Goodon Darrel Hall Allen Hansen Luree Haug Summer Hedin Nora Heeg Robert Heidemann Tracy Hendrickson Kay Hollis Debbie Hoppes Debra Howard Michael Huff Vicki Huff Michael Jackson Danny Jacobson Terri James 21 New Faces And Places Cause Frustration Vince Janicek Lucinda Jennings Ricky Johnson Louis Johnson John Jones Shelly Kellner Leona Klemt Tyler Kimzey Mary Knapp Harry Koenig Terry Lange Cary Larson Pat Maginnis Marie Marshall Christopher Masada Mema Miller Dale Moore Linda Nagel Edryth Nelson Nancy Palmer MR.

Mr. Ortiz, supervises a class meeting which is being held in the library. Entering lreshmen started a new way of life as they took the step from junior high to high school. Their first ordeal was to become acquainted with the school, to find their way from one classroom to another and to become acquainted with all of their new teachers. I.T.E.D. tests initiated them into a process of long hours of sitting and thinking. Many students became involved in band, choir, sports, clubs, fund-raising activities as a pan of high-school life. Throughout the year freshmen had an opponunity to attend some of the open dances sponsored by other classes and organizations. This gave them a chance to become better acquainted with the entire student body. Mr. John Ortiz and Miss Kenda Brown served as sponsors for the class.

Still underclassmen, but with the freshman year behind, sophomores returned to KCHS with a feeling of familiarity. This was the year to become really involved with school activities, to be officers of organizations and to be members of varsity teams. Throughout the year the class put their talents and imagination together to present a successful TWIRP. Crazy Louis provided the music for the March 6 dance which centered around a Midnight Blue theme. A variety of raffles were used to make money for the event. A sense of belonging and TWIRP will be lasting memories of the sophomore year.

Money-Making Projects Are Most Important Juniors were kept busy with activities and projects that seemed to never end as they began their busiest year of high school. Soon after school opened, they began their main money-making projects for Prom, which included selling magazines and operating the concession stand at home sports events. These projects, together with class dues, increased their treasury. At the beginning of the year class rings arrived, and those who had ordered them excitedly went down to the jewelry store to pick them up. In November the class took the Iowa Tests of Educational Development . As PTom drew near, the group was busy spending many extra hours after school and at night working on decorations and taking care of last minute details. Finally the big event arrived and on May 1 ''Could It Be Magic? , the long-awaited Prom, was presented in a colorful pastel setting. LIESA RAUERT and Bob Battenon show intense interest during a class meeting even though they seem isolated from the rest of the group.

The last pages of the 1976 LONGHORN are in the mail and before we know it, all the hours spent preparing it will be just memories. As seniors, this yearbook holds special meaning for us as it is probably our last and most significant contribution to our high school. The list of people to thank is endless. Our efforts would have been fruitless without the patience and labors of our advisor, Mrs. Morehouse. As editors, we know how important a staff becomes, and our staff was one of the best. Mari Lane wrote almost all of our copy and without her, this book would be a story without words. We hope that in the years to come you will enjoy the 1976 LONGHORN as much as we enjoyed recording it for you. Steve Benstead and Greg Larson sart artgeio. texas 128 i
