The Lady Longhorns took their place in the State tournament, and the boys' team had good seasons and excellent fan support. Sports did not hold center stage all the time. A new teacher, Mrs. Bernadine Reader was welcomed in the Business Department.

Activities started slowly with golf and track being the main attractions, but by the end of the highly successful seasons, other activities had filled the calendar. Prom, always a main highlight, was no exception this year, and it was followed by a May full of happy anticipation. Organizations such as FFA, FBLA, Thespians and others elected new officers. NHS tapped two new members. The annual Band Banquet was held and the Choral department's Expressions concert was a great success. Recognition for a year of hard work in both sports and scholastics came at the Honors Convocation and scholarship winners were announced.

For in all practicality, academics are our guiding light. The various courses offered at KCHS offer insight into numerous fields and inspire career interests, as we crack the books and learn through living. FACULTY HELPS TO PRESERVE ORDER This school's administration is overlooked by its students when handing out thanks, but in its own way this shows just how good it is doing its job, keeping the school running with out any maior problems. Each month Mr. Max Hensley meets with the Board of Education to discuss and work out all of the schools business affairs as well as some of the more important domestic problems. Principal, Jerry Williams takes care of immediate problems such as keeping the school from zoolike tendencies. Mr. Dale Hendrickson is the athletic director and is in charge of all bus trips and athletic scheduling or in other words makes sure every one knows where they are going. As guidance counselor, Mr. Charles Morehouse explains to students that they won’t be in high school forever and helps them prepare for the future. Mrs. Elizabeth Eastman is the school nurse. She is in charge of physical examinations such as tests for hearing and sight.

Mr. Richard Strasheim teaches several short courses involving literature, and he mixes literature with grammar, punctuation, and vocabulary in English 10. Mr. Mike Marsh teaches the same basic things with his own twist, and the addition of more English composition instead of literature in his English 9 classes. Mr. Steve Gilliland specializes in literature, both English and American. Philosophy and the effect of man’s social development of his spirit are the basis for Mr. G's classes.

She was a graduate of Chadron State College and a member of numerous professional business associations. She was secretary of the Kimball Education Association and was co-sponsor of the Future Business Leaders of America. “Teaching is to touch a life forever.” This slogan of the Nebraska Education Association exemplifies what Mrs. Sutton did for many of us. She touched many of our lives in a very special way. She never allowed her illness to interfere with her responsibility to her students. She always had time to help a student. Her time was always devoted to her students' needs and her cheerful disposition only added to the many “special things she did to make her classroom a pleasant but profitable place to be. Mrs. Sutton is gone, but she will not be forgotten. In her short lifetime she lived a very full and unselfish life and she cast a long shadow. 33 P.E. PROMOTER SELF FULFILLMENT B A When each of us enter KCHS as freshmen, we sometimes discover that we have grown in size but not in grace and coordina tion. That's where Coaches Barb Abrams and Keith Staehr take over with mission impossible. This year is no exception! Students are introduced to the finer points of new and old games.

The purpose of athletics is to build a pride in what you can do, and not disgust in what you can not. KCHS incorporates the best of both kinds. Haun’s Harriers posted a successful season in ’77 with both varsity and novice divisions finishing no lower than fourth in regular meets until state. The girls won every meet in which they competed. Bob Volkmer and Tim Wackel led the varsity. The girls team was lead by Sherry Pinkerton and Natalie Masada.

B A 46 YEAR ENDS WITH SPOTTY PERFORMANCES On her third year Coach Barb Abrams took the '77 varsity volleyball team to a 11-7 record. Coach Abrams commented that she thought the season started with momentum portrayed by the first win over Mitchell in a long time. The girls won the Sterling Invitational and second place in the Mitchell Tournament. As the season went on she thought they lost their early pace and finished with spotty performances. The teams best showings were the final game against Chadron at the District and their first game against Bayard. Team leaders in statistics were Chris Soto in setting (92%), serv mg (94%), and points (117). Laurie Schadegg led in passing, spikes, and blocks. Both Chris and Laurie made All-Conference along with Angela Janicek.

Quality and desire were there but unfortunately so were turnovers and a tough schedule. Torrington, Gering, and Alliance epitomized the season as the first three games were lost by fumbles late in the game. Kimball got their first win over a previously unbeaten Mitchell team, 35-15. Then the Horns met the 1 team in Nebraska when they traveled to McCook. Kimball lost 0-13 in a hard played game where a few bad breaks made the difference. Gordon gave the team their second win in a 33-0 victory. Then Kimball lost to Chadron ( 6 in Nebraska) 13-6 due to a fumble on a scoring drive late in the game. Kimball beat Sidney and finished the season losing to Colorado's top ranked team, Yuma.

The freshmen lacked offensive finesse with the exception Rod Wilson who averaged 14 points a game. He also led in the rebound department with 132. Kimball, lacking overall speed and quickness, could muster up only 36 points a game compared to 47 for the opponents. Although this team won only two games, it is about average of the past freshmen teams. As the players mature and gain size and experience they will gain success on the varsity level. HAUN TAKES CONTROL AS MENTOR AND George Haun proceeded to take the 77-78 Lady Longhorns to the State Tournament. The girls lost only three regular season games, two to highly ranked Sidney while winning 12 games. They swept through the District tourney and earned a chance at the state title in Lincoln. Title hopes were dowsed fast as Kimball lost to top ranked York 58-40. Senior Laurie Schadegg led in scoring with 15 points a game average and with her speed and agility was a great asset to a very tough defense. AFS student Vicki Brand started and averaged 5 points a game and hauled in 8 rebounds per game, which was second on the team. Kimball returns 3 starters next year. Among them are Angie Janicek, the second leading scorer, Becky Bokelman, leading rebounder and Chris Soto as main ball handler.

I thoroughly enjoyed living with Mrs. Jeanne Wasser, Peggy, and Ron. One thing I liked was the choice of extra-curricular activities which were offered, the facilities and coaching abilities for sports. No major changes occurred in my lifestyle, but little things like different words and phrases brought a lot of enjoyment and laughter. I would like to thank everyone very much for accepting me as I am and showing me a good time. Vicki Brand. (A) AFS student Vicki Brand with host family Mrs. Jeanne Wasse, Peggy, and Ron.

(D) Vicki played first string on the girls' basketball team which went to state. C When I look back at the year 77 78, it is hard for me to imagine that it has only been a year since I left Holland. Although there were few differences all the small changes added together created a completely new world. I have been very fortunate with my host families, the Smythe's, Eastman’s and Kim-zey’s for their hospitality, kindness, and love received from them during the past year. I am thankful for the students at KCHS for making this one of the most important years in my life. It is a great way to learn about different people, but above all about yourself. Rob Van Dorssen 88 STUDENT COUNCIL HOSTS CONVENTION KCHS Student Council had a busy year representing student interests and ideas. Their regular activities include maintaining the juke box, running the snow cone machine for football games and track meets, and getting the foosball table ready for the students. All of these activities provide a better environment for students. New activities included lunch room supervision for fourth hour lunch and sponsoring the District Convention in October. They attended the State Convention in November in South Sioux City, Nebraska. They also sponsored a Disco dance after a basketball game for the student body.

The seniors were tapped in December and the juniors in May. The new members were initiated on May 14. The members of NHS must have an overall grade average of 2.0. Along with this there are many other qualities that are looked at in each person. These are scholarship and school, community services, along with a willingness to serve others. Leadership, and having a good attitude for the school and the community are also important.

Friends would separate and go their own ways in an individual attempt at a happy future. The class of 78” will be On Their Own. SENIOR PRESTIGE LOSES IMPACT WITH For many seniors, graduation marks the end of their formal education and the world of work lies ahead. For others it is a mere stepping stone to a future education. The first three fourths of our senior year we take dances, athletic events and concerts for granted, but as the year closes a time of recalling memories and thoughts about a future career arise. The class of 1978 is no different than any other. They started as scared, confused freshmen and end up four years later as confident, assured seniors preparng for their future. On Tuesday, May 23, 80 seniors received their diplomas at commencement exercises and began to conquer a new challenge in life.

Yet, they realize being young has its advantages as they enjoy all the elements that make youth the most remembered time of their life. The dances, ball games, concerts and noisy study halls make being a high school student worthwhile. While being the young, they are still close to adulthood. While restless, they are nevertheless content now, experiencing youth and learning through living. Y DILIGENTLY DECORATING FOR PROM For the class of 79 this was a super year. Excitement over the new class rings was high, and our upperclassmen status as growing adults was underlined by the college entrance exams. With Mr. Buford Williams’ help, thoughts of prom and money making projects soared. Spring arrived with a flurry of activity to prepare for the big event. Late night work brought the 1978 “Come Sail Away’’ prom to life. 108 David Aguimga Debbie Austin David Autrey David Autrey Ted Avila Randy Baker Randy Bateman John Bates Sue Bauer Mary Benke Todd Bentley Anita Biberos Kerry Bohac Scott Bokelman Chris Bourlier Pam Burback Mike Cain Bryan Carlson David Carmichael Sandra Castagna Robert Chiesa Jim Childress Micki Christensen Darryl Coombs Bill Cortney Lanett Crocker JUNIORS EAGER TO PLEASE SENIORS Gary Danielson Scott Deboodt Jeanme Derry Judy Dudney Jessie Dunn Michael Evertson Mary Fleagle Allen Frederick Jackie Goodman Suzanne Grimm Darrel Hall Allen Hansen Luree Haug Summer Hedm Nora Heeg John Heffernan Robert Heidemann Keith Heim Tracy Hendrickson Theresa Walker Hickox Debbie Hoppes Debbie Howard Mike Huff Vicki Huff 109 AFTER TWO YEARS OF PASSING GRADES Mike Jackson Vince Janicek Louis Johnson Ricky Johnson John Jones Shelly Kellner Toby Kimzey Ann Klemt Mary Louise Knapp Linda Knigge Terry Lange Pat Nagmms Marie Marshall Chris Nasada Merna Miller Dale Moore Linda Nagel Edie Nelson Tammy Novotny Nancy Palmer Donna Perry Kay Peterson Dennis Pickett Leslie Reemts 110 JUNIORS EARN UPPERCLASS STATUS Jeanette Richter Jan ne Robinson Rhonda Rolph Phillip Schadegg Dan Schnell Debbie Schwindt Connie Shandera Jody Simms LaValla Simms Kathy Sisson Robert Snyder Rick Soper Chris Soto Terri Stahl Becky Thompson Theresa Thummel Mark Vigil Angie Villavicencio Cheryl Wangler Lorena Webb Angela Westby Robin Whartman Lorraine Yung 111 Maria Agumiga Joseph Aikens Lowell Arnold Lynn Atkins Jeffrey Baird Shari Bauer Lori Bendixen Valorie Bendixen Peri Benstead Doug Berger Juanita Biberos Margaret Biggs Walter Birdwell Becky Bokelman Joann Boulier Tom Bowman Cindy Broeker Gregory Brown Betty Buckle Kevin Buescher Carmen Buresh Jennifer Burke John Christiansen Karen Christiason CAKE RAFFLE AND CALENDAR SALE 112 HIGHLIGHT SOPHOMORE YEAR Steven Cleveland Larry Cole Jeanie Cortney Paul Culek Damon Debowey Kenneth Jay Dietz Constance Dmges Tamie Donner Casey Dunegan CXisty Eby Scott Eddington Donovan Erickson Galen Erickson Jonovan Erickson Michael Flores Darrell Frank Gary Franklin Dennis Goranson Loren Gotfrey Paul Gotfrey Sophomores, like other students at KCHS, learn through living. For their second year in high school has a significant influence on their individual growth, both academically, and socially. Being a sophomore means struggling through geometry proofs, translating Caesar, and dissecting fetal pigs. It includes an increased interest in studies, and a feeling of anticipation at choosing electives for their junior year, thus leaving many of their required courses behind. Socially, it means TWIRP. For the class of 80, money making projects include a cake raffle, calendar sales, and a dance marathon. TWIRP is an ‘Ocean of Dreams” with a sea of blue crepe papier and silver glitter. Couples dance to the music of Alfa Centauri. Most of all being a sophomore means accepting —our mistakes, our joys, our sorrows. It means looking toward the future, and learning from living now. 113 TWIRP 18 AN OCEAN OF DREAMS Jerry Gregory Keith Griffith Scott Halstead Wendell Harms Julie Heeg Sharon Henderson Aaron Hernandez Robbie Hickman Robert Hilkemeier Tricia Hisey Kari Hull Daniel Hurlbut Jorena Hyatt Angela Jamcek Stephen Jellison Jeff Johnson Linda Johnson Malanie Johnson Sandra Jones Neyya Koenig Tim Lacy 114 COUPLES DANCE TO ALPHA CENTAURI Tami Lean Lon Lewellen H� � cl to e man contrit jtes her time on Twirp decorffl Lynette Lewis Tammy Limbeck Chris Lukassen Conna Mazel John McDermott Rosalie McDowall Patti Miller Lisa Moore Jay Mueller Constance Muske Kelly Myers James Nelson Timothy O’Brien Gary Peters Kathy Peters Rodney Powell Gale Randall Roger Rasgorshek Sharon Roark Lisa Robbins LeeAnn Russell Michael Sakelaris 115 TWO EXCHANGE STUDENTS CROWNED Debra Sanders Brenda Schadegg Amy Schwmdt Charles Mark Shields Leslie Simms David Smythe Patty Sobieszczyk Rhonda Sowerwine Chad Staab David Stahla Todd Sterling Shelly Strahsheim Sherri Trout Daniel Villavicencio Todd Vogel Virginia Volkmer Debra Walker Timothy Warren Joy Whartman Deborah Wolforth Shelly Wynne Steve Wynne Jane Yung Debra Zeilinger 116 THEY CAME FULL FORCE AND 89 STRONG DAWN MOLAR prepares one of the FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS for 1978 are: left to right; president Natalie Masada, Quests for a game at the FHA Christmas vice president, Scott Kelsey, secretary, Robin Sowerwine. treasurer Laurie Burke party Aguimga, Yevonne Aikens, Ruth Allwin, Thomas Arnold, Lorene Atkins, Renell Baker.

Students become the scape goat of upperclassmen harassment and pranks. Due to the ban of initiation Frosh no longer have the threat as in previous years. The class of '81 step from the top of their junior high ladder to the first steps of their high school activities. Learning to march in straight lines in band along with passing the Pep Club test and working for a place on the school teams are a few of the major activities students become involved in.

(D) Band members work off their excess energy against a strong opposi tion during a band trip. TO THE FUTURE FOR YESTERDAYS DREAMS 127 (A) Angie Janicek says hi to the gang while enroute to the Student Council convention. (B) Tom Morehouse cautiously nibbles at a pastry. (C) “We are the cone heads. We mix vie tory po tions for girl-round bailers.” (D) “You’ve got to be kid ding” is one of Dode Garrett’s favorites. Yesterdays are gone forever, but with their memories you can prepare for tomorrow. The '78 yearbook staff has compiled a record of the past year to let you look back and learn from your experiences. Hopefully it will also let you enjoy and reminisce the happy times.
