QQQ Could what be magic? The fact that. . . . . . 300 kids are trying to live and work in harmony . . . and are succeeding? ... the Class of ’79 actually graduated? ... the chorus department put on a major production without Mrs. Staehr having a nervous breakdown? ... we made it through another year with the same driver’s ed. teacher? . . . Mr. Gilliland can take a practical joke? . . .KCHS’ very own “mad scientist” hasn’t blown up the school — yet? . . .the sophomores finally learned the facts of life? The freshmen will have their turn. ... the yearbook staff got this book done — on time (Please •ake all complaints to the publish-ag company in Texas!) . . .If you haven’t thought of anything magical about KCHS yet, look further into this school. Contrary to popular belief. KCHS is not just made of bricks and cement. Whether you think it’s magic or not, we all realize that something is here; guiding us through the reflections of yesterday toward the visions of tomorrow. 2 Contents sctefto 1©07@$ ssagu wfai oi @@oi ©o §@® j®m©®mo§ ASS € W§C9� A) Three totally thnlled yearbook staff members try their hardest to make sure the next deadline will be finished on time B) Half time entertainment at basketball games includes “I-assius Trombones” featuring our gutsy trombone players.

These feelings are mingled together and pride overshadows the disappointments as the days until graduation are marked off by Mr. Gilliland’s chalk board. All the memories whether happy or tearful reflect a new light on the seniors and as the tassle is moved to the other side, the reminiscing is forgotten and they focus on the new world ahead of them. Seniors 15 From day to day each student takes part in school life. Although at times the happenings seem routine, everyone enjoys the good and bad times.

All of the money they’d worked so hard to raise can finally be put to use; the many hours each student put in promoting tooth decay by’ working in the concession stand, and the soles worn off their shoes by walking door-to-door selling enough magazines to get a “Longhorn Country t-shirt. But juniors are more than sugar and shirts. They are the “middle men of our high school; close enough to the freshmen to make them feel a part of things yet still above to assist the seniors in initiation or some other worthy cause.

But still, as Mike Flores, Bob Arraj, and Chris Masada played “My Fair Share,” the senior class’ song, and “The Hands of Time, chosen by the juniors, sniffles would interrupt the silence of the classmates and faculty. Later, as students danced through the sunset-colored crepe paper, the seniors realized that instead of setting, the sun was just beginning to rise for them. The Class of 1980 is proud to feel that all the work they’d put into the 1979 Junior-Senior Prom. “Miracles Out of Nowwhere finally came to be something special for the senior Class of 1979.

B) Chris Masada muscularly strives to maintain the lead ahead of the field. C) Determination is mirrored in Bob Chiesa's face. It seemed to help as this was Bob's best year ever. A magical feeling of individuality and team pride carried the 78 Cross Country team through an overall successful season. Bob Chieas had a very satisfying season as Kimball’s top varsity runner, while Natalie Masada led the girls division. That magical feeling of team pride seemed to vanish at the Western Conference meet when Kimball failed to place as a team. The biggest disappointment for the team as well as individual runners, was the Harriers failure to qualify anyone for the state meet. As for the team members, “It was a good year,” “We did better than we thought we would,” and “Good luck to the ’79 Harriers.” GIRLS AND BOYS CROSS COUNTRY V N G Genng Inv. 6 9 2 Sidney lnv. 7 5 3 Sterling Inv.

The team improved their mental attitude which definitely showed up in the quarter finals of district competition against Gering. Defeating Gering was in itself a great accomplishment for the team. Team leaders were Leslie Reemts and Angie Jani-cek in spiking, Tracy Hendrickson in serving and Chris Soto in setting. Coach Nancy Slagle finished her first year with a winning season of 13-8.

The Longhorns were abruptly brought back to reality when they were shut-out by the Torrington Trailblazers in the first game of the season, 19-0. Bringing the scores a little closer the next game, they met the Gering Bulldogs who defeated them 13-6. Magic was sprinkled on the team and they gained their three and only wins of the season. Although the magical touch was lost or maybe given to the opponents in the four remaining games, the Longhorns are STILL the best in KCHSer's eyes. Ending the season with a 3-6 record, the illusions of victories vanished in a maze of disappointments. Dale Moore and Gary Danielson earned All-Conference while Honorable mentions went to Jim Childress, Kerry Bohac and Toby Kimzey. Gary Danielson commented, “We had a lot of breaks that just didn’t go our way.” A) While keeping his Chadron enemy down. Jim Childress searches for the loose ball.

They compiled four straight wins before taking their first loss toTorrington, 6-18. Outstanding offensive players were Dave Stahla and Mike Sakelaris. Todd Sterling and Jon Pietsch were praised for their defensive efforts. Coaches Calise and Beguin commented that the team really improved all season. As for the team members comments. “We worked really well as a team and “A lot of people are going to be surprised next year. 48 Reserve Football FROSH BOAST BEST RECORD IN 10 YEARS A) Jerry Tnplell looks for a hole in the line as he works his way down field towards the goal line.

After a few years of disappointing freshmen football, the class of '82, along with help from Coaches Bashaw and Bunner. puts together a spectacular winning season. Spirited on by Coach Bunner with exclamations of “Holy Buckets” and “Can’t you see what color his shirt is?” and “Good God Gert!” The frosh team finishes the season 6-0, having the best freshmen record in 10 years. Their strong point being defense. Coach Bunner commonly advises them to “root-hog ’em on the fourth down. Fourth and one to be specific. Overall the team has few mental hang-ups and has a lot of spirit, as well they should, considering. . .

C Pep Club 51 RED AND WHITE FEVER DISCOURAGES OPPONENTS Although that magical feeling of unity and pride was not present at the beginning of the 78-79 school year. Kimball pepsters worked together in an effort to promote spirit through KCHS. The Pep Club sponsored the Homecoming dance “Longhorn Fever,’ in the fall. Then at the beginning of second semester the Pep Club had to be reorganized in order to make it all worth while. But spirit prevails and Pep Club members are backing up sports activities at KCHS.

Enthusiasm and spirit fills the room when this select band plays the all time favorites of “Black Magic Woman”, “Horse” and of course “Big Red Boogie.” When Mr. McNees is unable to direct the striped group, visions of disaster creep into their minds. These thoughts soon pass as “Boomer Moose” and “Joe Trombone” take control and the band takes off playing “Swinging on Parade.” Spirit is represented by the Pep Band and no matter what the outcome of one game is they’re still behind the team. This year the group has added new class of its own. The pink panther has become a part of almost every game and “Gonna Fly” has become as important to KCHS as “Hail to the Varsity.” A) The KCHS Pep Band includes: B. Schadegg. M. Flores, S. Southard.

The five seniors-one junior squad almost brought the illusion of a state trophy to reality, but somehow their awesome offense was overpowered in height by Sidney in a 63-54 loss. Although the five seniors never made it to state, they will not leave KCHS empty. Gary Danielson, Kerry Bohac, and Dale Moore received All-Conference, while honorable mentions were given to Jim Childress and Scott Bokelman. The 1979 season came to an end leaving Coach Bunner with a feeling of emptiness, but next year will bring with it a new starting five along with higher goals coming into focus. Last year’s squad is still lingering on Coach Bunner’s mind — “They will be missed, but well remembered!” A) Coach Bunner emphasizes some ruthless tactics to use against the giant opponents.

Through their tough fourth quarter play, the reserves finished the season on top with an 11-4 record. A) Exhaustion is getting the best of Todd Sterling during a home reserve basketball game.

The girls’ spirits soared throughout the season, but could not have without the great enthusiasm of Coach Larry Pahl. Even through the worst of all that could happen like walking in on the girls as they shower. Coach Pahl would only flash his smile and say “Golly.” Coach Pahl commented that “It was the most rewarding season a coach could have.” “IT WAS A LONG, HARD SEASON” Dedication shines in the eyes of 12 guys as they practice in a hot, sweaty room every night, and then starve themselves (or gorge on banana splits) in order to make weight. All are striving for a chance at a State title. Seniors Rob Heidemann and Toby Kim-zey had that chance this year, and Rob returned home with a 6th place medal.

D) Jim Koenig takes a final quick check to make sure no one has moved the laning mat. Early spring track practice consists of running over a snowdrift, across ice (very carefully), and through mud puddles; sometimes all in the same day! Golf practice includes swinging at a wiffle ball (which sometimes begins to grow mold with an inexperienced novice) in the foyer of the auditorium. Why do it, you ask? Dedication probably. Why else would a person stand in either pouring rain or scorching heat to run for anywhere from 10 seconds to 2 minutes, or hit a poor, innocent ball into a forest? But through it all, our track and golf teams pride our school with new records and state placings. 64 Spring Practice NOVICE TEAM ADDS DEPTH FOR FUTURE Inexperienced rookies put their newly acquired skills together and formed what Coach Butts refers to as a foundation building year for future seasons. Although it was a young team the season was a valuable one. Greatly needed experience was gained as golfers worked hard to improve their game. Winning isn’t everything as this year’s golf team found out. It proved to be a worthwhile year for the team. There are ten returning lettermen for next year’s squad with the loss of only 4 seniors.

We all shared many thoughts and helped one another create new ideas for our Twirp dance. Every l’sa Winner.” Now that we were becoming accustomed to the many happenings in KCHS. we began being involved in varsity activities. We became members of bigger and better teams and we provided our abilities to help improve our school's activities With our great class of ’81. we ended our sophomore year with many cherished moments which would help get us to the top of the mountain. Sophomore Class 75 Looking back upon our past year of curriculum, we wonder if we’ll ever remember what we’d just learned. The mention of Moby-Dick brings a sparkle e es as we remember the symbols that once uc. but were now clear and comprehcn ■ envisioned in the future became t higher, more advanced ones. Aca-dt included more than advanced chemistry and nun ! cling calculus, it taught us how to fantasize at ic but then how to cope with the problems brought with reality.

D) Mr. Dale Hendrickson busies himself with phone calls and watch-watching. 78 Administration PERSONNEL KEEP SYSTEM RUNNING SMOOTHLY A “smooth-running” school system, a day denied of chaos, an hour without phone calls, these are all visions of our administration. Mr. Williams, along with the school board, tries to keep students and teachers happy and the system running smoothly. As hard as it sounds, they keep KCHS an enjoyable place to be. and secretaries work hard to make sure these visions hold true. Janitors and custodians do their part in keeping up our school. It is through them that we see KCHS as a “truely fine” looking school. Administration 79 NERVOUS ANXIETY BUILDS UP DUE Diagramming sentences, visualizing scenes in Moby Dick and increasing vocabularies, brings visions, probably of confusion, to many students. Mr. Richard Strasheim varies his class with sections ranging from vocabulary and short stories, to discussing Caesar. Mr. Mike Marsh has the interesting task of introducing the freshmen to the better side of grammar. Mr. Steve Gilliland, who teaches both American and English literature, definitely causes some minds to expand and some to even burst. Discussions of Moby-Dick and Paradise Lost cause some students to ponder theories or beliefs differing from their own. Speech is also a course offered in the English department. With the help of Mrs. Jane Morehouse, it increased in popularity. Miss Kenda Brown, KCHS’ librarian, contributes to the intelligence of our students with helpful hints about the library, as well as teaching Research and Science Fiction. C A) Jon Pietsch is baffled over the new list of vocabulary words. B) Students in American Lit. try to stay awake after a long night of syllabus typing.

English Department 81 BACKSTAGE ANTICS SPARK TROUPE’S VITALITY Although Thespians are generally overshadowed in KCHS, they play an important part in expanding our knowledge of the fine arts. Membership (this year totaling 20) consists of earning 10 points, received through participating in speech and drama-related activities. This usually includes doing all of the backstage dirty-work necessary to put on a play. “Harvey” and “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” were the main plays for the Thespians this year, however non-members could participate in “Harvey.” The Troupe also took “And Jack Fell Down” to District competition. Though a play might look perfect from the audience’s view, many “minor” tradegies may occur. Two days before “Harvey” opened, back drops were still needed. Other unknown happenings, such as the curtain not opening on time, add to the pre-show jitters. But after every great production, there is always the cast party, which is sometimes better than the actual play. For example, sunflower seed spitting contests? A) Penni Novotny prepares to kiss Pat Maginnis, unaware that he is in love with someone else in “A Midsummer Night's Dream. B) Thespian Troupe 3306; Front — Mary Louise Knapp. Betty Buckle.

D) Penni Novotny watches Jim Kinnison and Dan Schnetl discuss where to find their lost patient in “Harvey. 82 Thespians TWO SWEEPSTAKE TROPHIES AWARDED Many hours of hard work and preparation are experienced by every member of the speech team. Speeches ranging from weather control to cuttings of Neil Simon’s works are prepared by each participant. Who would ever imagine someone would spend hours practicing for that final five to ten minute performance? The last five minutes being filled with anxiety, fear and nervousness. The mental strain and pressure tests the endurance of the speaker. All these feelings give extra poise and strength and allow him to give it his best shot. The KCHS speech team members gave their best shots at performing. They won the first place sweepstakes trophy at both the Morrill and Bridgeport contests. The local speech contest showed the numerous talents of many speakers. These winners participate in District competition. A) Chris Bourlier humors the audience with her after-dinner speech. Her performance entitled her to compete at District. B) The group acting of “Suds by Mary Louise Knapp. Mike Cain, and Betty Buckle won at the local contest.

On printing day, a rush of reporting and a clutter of articles are thrown on the impatient editors’ desks. The staff isn’t quite this bad, but Mrs. Morehouse wonders if assignments will ever be handed in early. However, her wishful images of another year as 1 mimeo paper are almost sure to come true.

Lee. Henry Clay. Abraham Lincoln. All these great men give a mystical charm to the history classes at KCHS. Students reflect back on the past and try to imagine what it was like. Mr. Frank Calise and Mr. Hal Butts endeavor to enlighten the students about their country’s background. Classes such as Modern Problems and Economics attempt to use this new found knowledge to find solutions or options to prevent the same mistakes from being made again. Mr. Don Candelaria, in World Geography, deals with the organization of the world today with an emphasis on western civilization.

The 1979 Longhorn Staff hopes that we will bring back enough memories that you will not forget your high school days, good or bad. We wish to thank everyone, as it seems everyone helped in some way, and to the Journalism I students, thank you for helping us when we needed you (every day!). We give our special thanks to Mr. Meyer, the one person who helped settle all of our questions that had left us in the dark. ’79 Longhorn Staff
