They actively assumed more responsibility and greater involvement in varsity sports events and special music groups. Some students gained valuable experiences from holding an office in the many organizations such as FFA, FHA, And FBLA. With increased involvement they began to overcome their initial fears and nervousness of being underclassmen and anticipate the future excitement of becoming upperclassmen. Kidnapping the cheerleaders for ransom during a home game and cake raffles provided financial support for the Twirp dance. Stack from Rapid City.

Becoming a part of KCHS introduces freshmen to many new experiences. Getting over initial fears, they contribute themselves to many academic and extra curricular activities. These various activities help them become more responsible and independent. Early in the year freshmen take the ITED and GATB appti-tude tests. They begin money making plans for putting on the Twirp dance in their sophomore year. Striving to become an upperclassman and take on added responsibility is their main goal. Freshmen encounter some amusing obstacles. Having to dodge the initiation on Homecoming night and finking their classes without being detoured by an upperclassman are parts of the freshmen life.

Six Longhorns Make All Conference COACH KEITH STAEHR urges Dave Soto on up the sidelines as the coach often does from the side. DAVE MANN attempts to outrun his Mitchell opponent in an attempt to outplay them. In the 1976 Longhorn Varsity Football season, Kimball finished with a disappointing 4-5 season. Kimball started their season with a number two ranking in the state of Nebraska. Torrington quickly dimmed Kimball's state playoff hopes when they beat the Longhorns 28-26 in the seasons opener. Gering defeated Kimball 7-0 in a hard fought continuation of the school football rival. This loss ruined all chances of a post season playoff game. In this game the Longhorns received a major loss. Starting quarterback Todd Hendrickson suffered a severe injury. At the close of the season Hendrickson received all conference special recognition even though he played only two games. Second string quarterback, Bob Gemer received an injury before having a chance to start. Senior Dave Mann moved to quarterback, coming off an early season injury. Mann moved the Longhorns to three consecutive victories, a 27-19 win over Alliance, a 20-8 triumph over Mitchell, and a successful 34-26 homecoming over class A McCook. Kimball's winning streak came to an end when Gordon beat them 20-3. The Longhorns final defeat was a 13-0 defeat of Chadron. They lost their last two games 30-6 Sidney and 63-28 to Yuma. Kimball's lack of success may be attributed to the fact that they played two teams ranked in the top ten in Nebraska and one in Colorado. All conference members chosen were Dave Soto, Bob Batterton, and Russ Moore. Honorable mention All Conference members were Dave Mann and Mike Batterton. Moore was also All Region and All State Honorable Mention.

In Memory Of Russell Deon Moore This athletic section of the 1977 LONGHORN is dedicated to a young man we all knew, loved and admired. This young man was Russ Moore or Deon as we called him. Deon had so many fine attributes that it is impossible to do him justice in a few short paragraphs. Russ was unique in that he blended a mild manner with a fierce competitiveness. Because of his tremendous desire to win and excell, he spent many hours of hard work conditioning his body and refining his athletic skills. We all admired him for his hustle and leadership. Russ’s fun loving personality and infectious smile will be remembered and treasured by those of us who knew and loved him. L. Keith Staehr RUSS SHOWS his smile to the cameraman.

The 'Homs made it to the finals at the tournament by defeating Basset and York. In the finals the Sidney Red Raiders beat Kimball for the championship. Going into District Tournament the team supported a 15-4 record. In the first game Kimball defeated Chadron 50-44 then proceeded to play old nemisis Sidney which the Longhorns beat by one point, 50-49. Moving on to the finals against number one seeded Gering, Kimball defeated them 64-50 to earn a trip to Lincoln. The 'Homs played Omaha Ryan and lost 46-42 in overtime. Ryan then went on to take the championship. Seniors on the team this year were Pete Andersen, Jim Eddington, Doug Kallhoff, Todd Hendrickson and Dave Mann. Other lettermen include junior Troy Hedin and sophomore Jim Childress. Pete Andersen was chosen to the All-State basketball team, the only Panhandle player . . . Pete led the team in points with 440.

We of the KCHS Pep Club remember Joy for her spirit, enthusiasm and dedication as a Varsity Cheerleader. Her efforts were instrumental in promoting pride and spirit throughout the student body. And yet, Joy Evelyn was for many of us much more than a cheerleader. She was an excellent student aware of the importance of her education and concerned with its value. She was a close friend. Quick to smile, laugh, and understand, Joy was fun during the good times and help during the bad. Mostly, however, Joy was a warm, sensitive human being. She questioned all things in an effort to increase her awareness and to understand herself and her life. The more she understood life the more she loved it. We with whom Joy shared her life miss her very much. Stephen Gilliland JOY WORKS diligently on an English Literature assignment.

We are relieved that this job is over, but at the same time we are sad to leave behind many Happy Days and happy memories. We hope that the '77 Longhorn will help bring back some of these memories. We would like to thank our staff and Mr. Meyer for coming through in the pinch. Without these people this yearbook would have been impossible. A special thanks to Mr. Staehr and Mr. Gilliland for their contributions to the Russ Moore and Joy Evelyn pages. We thank Ms. Shaw for her patience and dedication. Justly we would like to thank you . . .A Very Sincere Thank You. Ron Wolforth Janele Rosendahl 128 Ban anyeio. texi
