And as everyone got it going again, the fall was over and the long winter took over. Students cruised through the '‘hum drum snowy days experiencing only the everyday happenings, such as over due syllabuses, and losing out of-town basketball games and wrestling matches. The last leg of the lourney-spring-finally was reached. And these spring fever days were Passed Through and remedied by free afternoons at track meets. At last seniors realized that it was time to be Moving On to new horizons, as their years at KCHS were quickly coming to an end. After the football players finally arrived. Mr Gilliland crowned Greg Brown as king. Such close affection merited reprimand by Mr. Williams, but that doesn't matter to Bill Bohac and Tamie Donner. The memory of a late night preparing for a deadline reflects on the faces of Shari Bauer and Shelly Wynne. Sailin' On 5 Breaking Away from the old routine” of summer days brought the average student to the doors of KCHS. For the seniors it was excitement, but for the freshmen it was the long halls and tall upperclassmen. The first back to school day went by quickly and with it followed the oodles of homework which the teachers thought would break the students away from their summer excitement. Downslips hurled the students into a whirlwind of make up work and extra credit assignments, but Homecoming stampede and sports’ victories pulled the students out of the blue and sailed them into winter months. 6 Fall Division L During an assembly. Day Wages, a one-man-band, coaxes Mr. Harry McNees to go Hawaiian. “Macho” volleyball players exhibit their poise in a human pyramid. Longhorn Stampede becomes the perfect theme for Homecoming as it brings the true KCHS cowboy or cowgirl to surface. Spots, Early Snow BJlLJULIJfG jffjr Breaking Away 7 SCHOOL SPIRIT OVERSHADOWS Breaking away from the usual resulted in changes around KCHS. Chaos is the word that describes the first assembly. Students were rushing and looking for their new auditorium seats, and it wasn't unusual to find your parking lot taken in the morning as students just couldn’t seem to get used to assigned stalls. Although not completely pleased, we dealt with changes and continued sailin on through the first months of school. A victorious football team and a state champion volleyball team were the sweetest changes the school experienced. The football team did what the fans thought impossible . . . beat Gering and went on to share a three-way tie for the Western Conference Championship. The girls earned a day off for everyone so we could all make the trip to Kearney. The team went all the way to become the Class B State Volleyball Champions. These students hungrily eye this food, as it is a far cry from our infamous school cafeteria. After school the student center is filled with students who have places to go and people to see. but only till 5 o'clock! 8 Fall Scenes PARKING AND AUDITORIUM REGULATIONS At a glance you might wonder who is behind this face. It’s Betty Buckle bobbing for apples at the FBLA party. Mr. Calise puts some weight behind the roller and presses his luxurious carpet firmly down. I Showing many faces of eating pizza, the cheerleaders enjoy a little snack on the way to a game. Half time performers (the school band) entertain the fans during the Gordon-Kimball game. Fall Happenings 9 Imitating Hawaiian customs, Carol Dunkm. Peri Benstead, Mel John son, and Shari Bauer hula to the music of “Day Wages” who per formed at an assembly. Mike Sakelaris, along with his classmates, takes in all the sights while on a field trip to Fort Robinson. Homecoming day spirit begins to flow as chanting cheerleaders lead the pepband through the halls. SCHOOL BECOMES HAVEN FOR ROOKIE SALESMEN Is Coach Calise mean or is he mean? He somehow pumps up the whole student body with spirit at every pep rally. Who says “four eyes”aren’t beautiful? Shari Bauer thinks glasses add sophistication. 10 Fall Activities STARTLING SNOWFALL GRANTS SCHOOL CLOSING Tom Bowman seems to have a severe case of the dreaded bug eyes . Now what could be the cause? Jennifer Janicek pulls a gun on Peter Neven in hopes of having the pleasure of just one dance Homecoming night. Ghouls and goblins lurk as Mr. G. receives his goodie” pumpkin from yearbook staf fers. Fall Smiles 11 ROOKIES MASTER SKILLS IN AVERAGE SEASON Take 13 rookies, a crazy coach, and an eight foot high net, and what do you get? An “average team with some disappointments that will make an outstanding base for both the reserve and varsity teams in the next three years. Although the freshmen had a record of 5-6, Coach Larry Pahl said he was pleased with the girls’ performance, and they are looking forward to learning under Coach Slagle next year.

The girls scrimmage during one of their after school practices. Deb Walker can’t figure out how they missed that ball. Giving 100% often means spending some time on the floor. Deb Walker gives her all to help win state. 14 State Volleyball Champs HANDILY TAKE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP With pride and spirit shining, Angie Janicek leads the Longhorns onto the court. HONORS The Lady Longhorns broke away to an almost unbeatable record of 23-1, topped with the State Class B Championship. They easily walked over their opponents and soon prepared for District. The Gordon Broncs got two flat tires, delaying our first District game 45 minutes. Despite this, the girls beat Gordon, Alliance, and Sidney in two games each, winning District. The girls were going to State for the first time. In Kearney, the Lady 'Horns made themselves known after victories over Omaha Paul VI and Waverly. In the final stretch, they battled with the Minden Whippets, conquering them in two games. The ritual of throwing the coaches in the pool was tackled by the players later in the evening. The girls let Coach Slagle change, but, alas. Coach Pahl was only allowed to take his boots off. The reserves became aware of the meanings of winning and defeat as they proceeded to complete a 5 4 season. Jennifer Janicek, a surprising newcomer, showed great progress and spent her season starting most games. Robin Sowerwine, Teresa Stahla, and Stacy Lockwood also had fine seasons, all earning a trip to the state matches. Besides a lot of determination. Coach Slagle said she saw a great change in attitude.” And so the reserves ended their season, aware of the changes needed to create a successful varsity team.

Varsity Volleyball 15 16 X GIRLS RUN AWAY WITH TOP FINISHES This is probably the closest anyone has come to beating Natalie Masada, but she takes it in stride and confidently continues on. The ’79-80 X-Country team includes: (Front) Jennifer Masada, Jay Mueller, Dan Villavicencio, Jerry Gregory, Tim Warren. (Middle) Amy Mueller, John Chiesa, John Aguimga, Scott Meyer, Dan Franklin, Sheila Volkmer and Wendy Wolforth. (Back) Wendy Hurlbut.

But as Haun’s Harriers showed us, the stamina needed to stay with it seems to come out of the blue and enables them to break away and finish a 10-mile run. Thus making a X-Country runner an individual” athlete. The girls had an outstanding season placing first or second in all meets. This in itself is something for the Longhorns to be proud of. Natalie Masada, with talent shining, ran first in all meets, placing second in only one meet. At the end of the regular season, Amy Mueller and Natalie Masada competed in the Marion Cathedral Invitational held in Omaha. Natalie brought home a first place finish. All the girls remarked that this season was one of the best . The boys varsity team failed to place in two meets but placed well in the remaining ones. Tim Warren was the top running Harrier on the boys’ team. The Kimball novice team did very good in all meets—learning the whereabouts of potholes and ditches and getting the needed experience for future X-Country seasons. X-Country 17 0-6 RECORD SHOWS FROSH Dismally the discouraged team left the field as they finished their last game of the season with a loss of 6-31 to the Sidney Red Raiders. This in turn ended their season with a record of 0-6, the closest game being against alliance in a score of 10-21. Although the team had soared into high school with victory on their minds, their thoughts were broken soon by the other teams which overpowered them in height and mental experience. Breaking away from the let-downs of their season the squad took the losses in stride, using them as a sense of encouragement to improve their talents and attitude and look forward to brighter days. As the team put it we goofed-up bad”, but losing is a winning characteristic which only time improves. Do we have to go out there again? Rob Brown and Roger Buescher ask disgustedly as exhaustion takes over. Freshmen football team: (front) Vince Cortney, Scott Sowerwine, Kevin Spicer, Robbie Brown.

Although their loss hampered their confidence, the team buckled down and put together one of the finest reserve teams since 1974. The team emerged boldly with three explosive shutouts, the greatest one being to Kimball’s traditional foe, Sidney, in a close game of 27-0. Although that one loss cheated the team of having a perfect record. Coach Frank Calise, was satisfied with their performance of 4 wins and 1 loss. Mr. Calise's casual dress seems to clash with his contemplation of the game Reserve Football 19 LONGHORNS LOSE IMPORTANT CONFERENCE GAMES, 1979 Varsity: (Front) Coach Frank Calise, Scott Kelsey, Mike Sakelaris, Tim O’Brien, Jay Dietz, Kevin Buescher.

Pride and excitement radiate through Kim ball players after conquering their biggest foe, Germg. Hanging for all he’s got, a Torrmgton opponent prays for a tackle as Ray Villavicencio brushes him off. Jerry Triplett finds that a Bulldog’s bark is worse than his bite as he quickly sidesteps around him. 20 Western Conference Champs BUT STILL KEEP THEIR PRIDE Barely escaping a sack. Kevin Beuscher shows that all he needs is his left arm to rip a spiral through the air. Pointing out thesimple fact that if you don't block, you don't eat, Coach Staehr shows where everyone is supposed to go, turning a Chinese fire drill into a quarterback sneak. The senior players show that they're not all blood and guts. (Front) Jay Dietz, Dave Stahla, Kevin Beuscher. Mike Sakelaris. Greg Brown, Todd Sterling. (Back) Coach Staehr, Tom Bowman, Peter Neven, Rob Hilkemeier, Gary Franklin, and Tim O’Brien. Even 70 Bulldogs weren’t enough to attack Kimball as the Longhorns pumped up to their sweetest victory of 19-6 over Gering. (Coach Calise commented that this was the first time we really beat them.) This was just the beginning of what seemed to be a great season, and the panhandle finally became aware of the Mighty Longhorns. They flew through the season, conquering teams throughout western Nebraska, until the Chadron Cardinals shot them down.” The 'Horns bounced back to beat Bayard, but were overcome by the Sidney Red Raiders in their final game. The Western Conference title was then split between Kimball, Gering, and Chadron. The Longhorns are losing 11 seniors, including Peter Neven, their unforeseen kicker from Belguim. Rob Hilkemeier, Kevin Beuscher, Gary Franklin, and Greg Brown were picked for All-Conference. Although they did not solely get the Western Conference title. Coach Staehr and Calise awarded the 1979 Kimball Longhorns as being the best team in five years. Varsity Football 21 CHEERLEADERS FOLLOW VICTORS TO STATE The cheerleaders sport their new cowboy hats while introducing the lineup ol the Homecom mg game. Freshmen: (Front) Val Wynne. (Back) Robin Dillon, Laurel Richter, and Becky Rauert. Mr. Calise adds something extra to his usual pep rally speech by introducing the freshmen cheerleaders. Varsity: Shari Bauer. Melanie Johnson, Debbie Sanders, Peri Ben stead. Maggie Biggs, and Lisa Robbins. Satisfied was done many times during the fall. Shan Bauer, Melanie Johnson, and Debbie Sanders grin and bear it through this cold one. Waiting for uniforms that never come and trying to keep a cowboy hat on—gracefully—are just a part of the average cheerleader. But the time and patience were well worth it as the varsity backed the 'Horns through a great season in football and a state championship in volleyball. The freshmen were spirited even after the rides home with the discouraged, not to mention sweaty, football team. Though the varsity thought of their skits the night— if not the hour—before most pep rallies, and the freshmen had only one week of practice, they both kept the teams and fans sailin’ on with spirit. 22 Fall Cheerleaders RED PRIDE DOMINATES LONGHORN BATTLES The red and white rugby shirts were a bit more scarce this year, but the yelling power of the KCHS Pep Club is as domineering as ever when the girls take over their usual corner of the gym or stadium. They even let themselves go at Homecoming, “Yee-haw ing!” through their dance, the “Longhorn Stampede.” Though the gas crunch stifled some girls’ ideas of traveling to games, a state championship in Kearney was enough to motivate the girls to prove their red pride. Spirit signs lined the halls before games. Shari Bauer prepares to add her creation to the crowded walls. Filling his duties as Pep Club Sponsor, Mr. Steve Gilliland puts in his time with the Homecom mg decorations. With a little boost from a chair, Jean Koenig gets the height necessary to help transform the student center into the 'Longhorn Stampede. Homecoming decorations reached farther than inside the school, as Shelly Wynne and Rosie McDowell spent their time adding the red and white Longhorn touch to students' cars. Front: J. Whartman.

First, the Horns stampeded to an overwhelming victory of 510 to shut-out the Mitchell Tigers, then settled down just enough to dance through the country-like setting for the Longhorn Stampede , with music by “LUK”. Halftime was a bit out of the ordinary this year. Breaking away from tradition, Mr. Steve Gilliland tried to crown a king that wasn't there! The male half of the royalty was, as always, late. Finally, Greg Brown appeared with his attendants so he and Tricia Hisey could be crowned. Despite the fact that the bonfire was cancelled, the 1979 Longhorn Stampede became a traditional success with the help of blasting cannons, soaring balloons, and flying confetti. Ann Kallhoff steps aside and allows Mr Don Candelaria the room he needs to add the finishing touches to the saloon . Taking full advantage of the thrones. Becky Rauert uses the added height to reach a rough spot. Homecoming royalty were Dave Stahla, Margaret Biggs. King Greg Brown, Queen Tricia Hisey. Carmen Buresch, Kevin Beuscher, and Crownbearers David Bashaw and Julie Paul. Bandits Kathy Hedin and Jennifer Janicek are stunned to learn that the dummy they’re holding up isn’t for real. The Longhorn scoreboard proudly displayed the final score longer than usual after the shut-out over Mitchell.

Stand right there!” Mr McNees tells Becky Bokelman, but she doesn't want to stand in the doggy mess. Playing the saxophone while marching step twos isn't an easy task for Renell Atkins. Breaking away from the drudgery of everyday band practice, the band moved out onto the football field to practive “step twos” and forming the letter K. Although the band didn’t make any out of town parades, hopes of making the long journey to Calgary, Canada eased the student’s minds. Band members weren’t the only ones that participated in the half-time shows, “outsiders” were included in a certain kind of baseball game. The closer the Farmer's Day parade got, the more yelling the seniors did at the “clutzy freshmen who couldn’t find their right foot and were ALWAYS out of step or out of line. When the parade got underway, the lines (rank and file both) seemed to fit together and the right” feet came out at the right times. Tension hovered over the students as the Calgary trip was finalized, causing financial havoc, but Coach Harry McNees eased the worries and “the band played on!

Activities Director Mr Dale Hendrickson ponders over how he could have scheduled four games in one night. 26 Administration RECEIVES PROTESTS FROM STUDENTS Our administration can handle it all; from getting yelled at to (seldomly) being complimented. They even worked overtime this year, trying to turn the school from beginning-year chaos back to the regu lar routine. Students were greeted with assigned parking spots and auditorium seats. And if you were late, tardy detention would “cramp your style” for 30 minutes, allowing you to play either Jane Secretary or Joe Custodian.” Though idle threats of closed-campus brought protesting seniors into the office, the administration believes in that: You can please all of the students some of the time, some of the students ...

Mr. Haun comes to the aid of his individually paced students As she intently ponders the question Denise Leminger patiently awaits Mr Henkle. Teamwork gets the job done faster and Amy Schwmdt, Deb Wolforth and Patti Miller help each other out on their math assignments. 28 Mathematics OF THE X KIND, CREATES ENDLESS • ■ POSSIBILITIES Joy Whartman contemplates how she can get 93 formulas on a 5 inch notecard for semester finals in Senior Math. Stopping a moment to sort out all the functions, Dave Smythe waits for inspiration to hit. Mr. Henkle firmly sets some students straight on the rules of algebra. Breaking away from the usual 2x2 arithmetic, our math teachers try to introduce us to the methods of modern algebra, geometry, and consumer math, learning how to deal with living expenses, buying car insurance and the like. And even though some students consider geometry and senior math ‘'challenging , most just consider it plain confusing . A new teacher, Mr. Randy Henkle, combines efforts with Mr. Larry Pahl, Mr. Dave Bashaw and Mr. George Haun to teach students the wonders of amazing math . Valarie Wynne seems to have a hard time understanding Mr. Henkle's way of figuring grades and she lets him know through facial expressions. Mr. Pahl points to the door as a suggestion to the confused minds looking for an escape from his boggling geometry class.

Mr. Buford Williams uses a simple approach” for the confused freshmen. 30 Science MJl AND FORMULATING ASPECTS OF LIFE Even Mr. Pahl is amazed by the bubbling of a chemical understood by everyone but him. Density and rock formation keeps Robin Dillon guessing and theorizing. Debbie Walker frustrating tries to figure out which is the top and bottom end. Breaking into the body cavity of a fetal pig and tak mg the picture of a glamorous cheerleader are both related to the science classes. Being the largest department, subjects range from that of an atom or quark to that of the skill in intricately blowing a glass ship. Almost every little thing in the universe is in some way related to science either by it's complicated structure or by the energy it produces. KCHS is quite lucky to have almost every variation of the sciences that is available. With four talented mad scientists, Mr. Chuck Bunner, Mr. Don Meyer, Mr. Buford Williams, and Mr. Larry Pahl, the students can’t possibly go wrong in understanding the falling of a star or the shifting of the earth. Not only does the average student become aware of the physical aspects of life, but with Ann Landers as a guide they learn the true meaning of human relationships. Stacey Evelyn digs into the fish while Tammie Buddecke seems a bit wary of touching it. Studying human anatomy is a real bony subject to Patti Sobieszczyk and Deb Zeilinger.

Future Mr. Goodwrenches Roger Rasgor shek and Todd Vogel begin the rebirth of another engine. In a little corner of our school's property are two solitary buildings. They're not easily missed, though their contents are unknown to some students. It is in these buildings that some students face up to reality and learn the necessary facts of life: fixing a car, making a weld, or drawing a tool. These might not sound like the true facts of life to you, but when your car breaks down ten miles in the boondocks, your appreciation for at least one of these classes just might grow! On the other side of the school, carpenters are busy at work creating their original and unique projects. Although an interested bystander must play 20 questions to find the true usage of the completed project, it is truly a masterpiece in the eyes of the creator.

Mutual feelings of “It’s the pits!” were voiced when asked how they like being freshmen. Feeling lost, though it isn’t too complicated to get to the restrooms from their lockers, the class of ’83 feared all aspects of high school at first. After realizing they were not going to be the subject of all jokes, pep rallies, and seniors, they settled down and became just another, however minute, part of KCHS. Freshmen class officers include Gale Mueller—secretary, Scott Sowerwme—treasurer, Ellen Johnson—vice president, and Trisha Haun—president.

At the top of both Jennifer's and Scott’s lists are sports. As both are involved in sports this year, they say high school sports offer competition never before experienced. They enjoy performing for more people. Jennifer and Scott participate in band, and Jennifer plays in the pep band. Though they have some common ties, Jennifer and Scott do have their differences. For example, Jennifer’s favorite dessert is strawberry shortcake, while Scott's is good ’ole pumpkin pie. But there is one thing they really do not like about high school and that is the extra homework. Even though they’re still ‘ lowly” freshmen they have one dominant thing on their minds . . . Graduation! Freshmen 37 Winter is the time for Cruising By, or just getting done what is neces sary. After the second semester began (and parents were getting over the second-quarter report cards), the students at KCHS took it easy for awhile. Watching their favorite basketball teams (the Longhorns of course) became an exciting pass time, even for those who didn’t know that Kimball had such top-notch teams! As warmer weather—and the end of another quarter—blew in, the teachers cracked down again in hopes of getting back into the swing of excessive homework and daily tests Escape, Semester Grades, Exciting Basketball 38 Winter Rejuvenating worn Pep Band overalls is easy for Lorrie Dowd during a calm moment at a basketball game.

Schedule changes, brought about by many trips to the office to convince Mr. Williams that it was a necessary change, provided a slight modification in their daily routines. Many students spent their time buttering up their parents before bringing their report cards home. Fans were talked out of going into hibernation this winter as guys and gals alike sailed home with victories. But winning seasons just weren't quite enough to keep students' minds from drifting to the far-away vacation at Easter. Drama hair stylist Mickey Olsen coaxes Sondra Dillon's hair into place.

Although underclassmen could leave only during their lunch periods, seniors were seen leaving the school at all hours of the day. School activities helped to keep the students’ attention in the walls of KCHS. Contests sponsored by the FBLA and FHA stimulated most students into taking a chance on a raffle or guessing who’s legs were sexiest! Runner-up trophies in basketball, one at district and one at state, ended great seasons. But Kimball enthusiasts are not to worry, as runners (well, some walkers!) in bright red suits soon began swarming the streets of Kimball in preparation of the track season ahead. Flying leaps into the air were common during the FFA-Alumni volley ball game. Wendell Harms and Jim Koenig demonstrate their particular style.

In spite of their losing record. Coach Dave Bashaw commented that it takes a different kind of individual” to wrestle, and two exceptional examples of this would be Paul Culek and Ron Wasser. Culek and Wasser were the only wrestlers to compete in the State Tournament from Kimball. Although Culek and Wasser had the most impressive records (23-4 and 19-9, respectively), John Burback (13-7) and Dan Hoppes (7-5) also had notable seasons. The young reserve squad had a good year for experience. Steve Warner’s record of 11-1 (10 of the 11 being pins) helped to boost the record to 6-5, ending Coach Don Candelaria’s fourth straight winning season at KCHS.

Reserve Girls’ Basketball 47 LADY LONGHORNS STIFLE RAIDERS AND Going into the season, the Kimball girls were expected to have a fine record and be a tough team. And our Lady Horns proved these expectations true as they went into the District contest sporting a 13-1 record. Their loss was to the Sidney Red Raiders in these teams’ second bout of the season. Angie Janicek was out of the game with an ankle injury and the Horns succumbed to a 40 41 Raider victory. Drawing a bye in the first round of district play gave the girls one extra night to prepare for their opening game against the Gordon Broncs. Kimball came on strong and walked away with a 67-34 win. And then it was time to meet the Raider team for the District title. As expected Kimball shut out their toughest opponent, brought home a 43-25 victory and a first place trophy. After two hard-fought victories Kimball earned a place in the state championship game against number one seated Ashland. But bringing home the state trophy wasn't meant to be as Ashland took the championship away from Kimball 52-56. The reserve team, led by the high scoring of Stacy Lockwood finished the season with an 8-5 record. Coach Pahl commented that his squad of 12, 8 being freshmen, has definite possibilities for the future. Amidst the flying arms of all the players. Laurie Burke cowers a bit and waits for the ball.

A 2-7 record may not indicate an encouraging season by the freshmen basketball team, but the boys' two wins were against Kimball’s greatest rival, the Sidney Raiders. That in itself was an accomplishment. Being led by the scoring of Scott Sowerwine, the Longhorns played competitively, never giving up without some fight.

Greg Brown holds his tongue, but his expression shows his true feelings. Longhorns put their stuff together as they warm up to win a game. 52 Varsity Boy’s Basketball SEASON WITH RUNNER-UP TITLE AT DISTRICTS Coach Bunner doesn’t seem to think that joke was very humorous. 1980 Basketball Longhorns include; Jon Pietsch. Scott Kelsey, Jim Triplett, Tom Bowman, Greg Brown, Rod Wilson, Dave Smythe, Rusty Dillon. Kevin Buescher, Jay Dietz, Mark Spargo, and Scott Zeilinger. “I can’t take it! cries out Coach Bunner as Brownie fouls once again. Teamwork not only was visible in the Varsity team, but also helped the Reserve Longhorns cruise through a respectable season. They ended the year with a record of 8-8, but three of their losses were either by or less than five points. Two of the Reserve players had a very good season and even progressed to the Varsity team, Mark Spargo and Scott Kelsey played at Districts also. Varsity boys came close to earning another trip to state for fans of KCHS. In fact, it came down to the last game, even the last quarter to decide that Sidney would go instead. A seven point lead stressed their victory as the buzzer finalized the game. Coach Chuck Bunner was generally pleased with the outcome of the season and pointed out that winning isn’t everything, because he enjoyed coaching, a team-working squad with so much talent. He will be losing four Seniors including high-scorer Greg Brown, who averaged 20.7 points a game, also Jay Dietz, Kevin Buescher, and Dave Smythe. Karate anyone?” asks Rod Wilson as he fights for the ball after a jump.

Varsity squad: Lisa Robbins, Peri Benstead, Margaret Biggs, Kathy Hedm. Robin Sowerwine, and Jean Koenig. Perfection is on each of the cheerleaders’ minds as they practice what they already know, pointing out that someone's foot isn’t pointed, or another's arm that’s not at the right angle. For what? Because when you're at a home basketball game, the last thing you need is to mess up in front of 1000 Longhorn fans!!! But the practicing proves worthwhile as the girls add their special touch to the pep band and lead the pep club and fans through another winning game.

This year however, they weren’t confined just to school activities, but ventured out to welcome part of the Channel 9 News Team to Farmer’s Day. Later on in the year, the band put on a mini concert outside the First State Bank to help celebrate the holidays, which in turn earned donations for the Calgary trip. Sometimes the “pep” wasn’t very enthusiastic during practice, but when the “Big Red Boogie” was played—everyone listened. Coach, Harry McNees seemed to make the team a whole and even in his own “red and whites” the phrase that fit best was, “I’m just wild about Harry!” Playing The Horse” puts even Tamie Donner into the swing of things.

His Modern Problems class presented talks on today's issues and American History students learned about the happenings of yesteryear. The only one to stick with his regulars was Mr. Frank Calise. Through him students became aware of the days of early America. In his American Mini-Courses, students staged the Martian trials and a drug bust was planned for second semester. Even though they encountered changes, students are “sailing through the realms of history ... past and present.

Moby Dick and Paradise Lost moved into the curriculum along with research papers and the endless A Tale of Two Cities. Typing became a required skill to some, but others took refuge in the skills of close friends, who happened to get pleasure out of typing. Students who were not into lengthy papers, put their minds at least half-heartedly into grammar usage and sentence structures which enhanced their speech.

Unbelievably, excessive funds seemed to be their only problem this year. The other classes were a little jealous of this until the sophomores pulled through with a first: Free Twirp. The unanimous decision is that this is going to be their hardest year, but “it’s better than being a freshman!”.

Taking afternoons off to follow the tracksters to meets was just one way students found to cope with it. Of course, the occasional outside class rooms helped make the last weeks of school life bearable. Even though the year’s not completely over, students, with the help of Mr. G’s blackboard, are counting days and we all know that the end is insight.

I As spring moved in and warm weather took over, students at KCHS seemed to let homework slide a bit. More emphasis was put on the fun, outside things that everyone likes to do. Tracksters were seen in red sweats, running, jumping, throwing and enjoying the warm weather. As always, spring brought with it Prom, and students danced under The Grand Illusion”. Passing into the last weeks of school, students, espe cially seniors, started the countdown. The end was nearly here and the days passed quickly as final assemblies and convocations rewarded students for their achievements throughout the year.

There was no flaw here either, because eleven girls out of twenty-one qualified to make the trip. Natalie Masada proved to be really fast when she took third in the 3200 meter run.

Photographers Joann Bourlier and Robyn Stieduhar were seen all over KCHS with cameras in hand while editors Shelly Wynne and Shari Bauer remained in the classroom to put it all in black and white.

The shot is off kilter, but Trisha Haun and Shelly Pattison con tmue to work on their shooting skills. School isn't just mental involvement and as you pass through the gym this becomes very evident. Mrs. Nancy Slagle and Mr. Keith Staehr combine their knowledge, and sometimes their students, to keep their classes physically intact, it’s learning antics on the flying trapeze or just a simple dance step.

Songs of all styles—from The Rose to Doctor Dancin’”—were in the production, and “We Are Family” was re-written” to include the families in the chorus. Six female Village People donned their duds to have the unsuspecting audience help them spell out YMCA . The country in everyone was brought out in The Gambler”, another audience-participation song. Mrs. Staehr presented the National Choral Award to Damon Debowey, and he, in turn, recognized the 23 senior members of the chorus. The suspense of wondering who got into Crimson and Cream for 1980-81 was ended that night as the new members were announced. Mrs. Staehr probably never thought she'd get anyone dressed like this when she said wear whatever you want to!” An original composition by Jennifer Masada and Ellen Johnson was one of the many highlights of the evening. The song was sung by Ellen Johnson and Gale Mueller. Some of the guys found a bit of humor in a new piece of music, but they put all |okes aside (surprisingly) after remembering that the concert was the next night!

Debbie Walker received the John Phillip Sousa Award from Mr. McNees for her talents and contributions to the band throughout the year.

That’s because every one of you made such a great effort to make me feel at home. I experienced this from the first moment. Remember the football practices in August? Man, I sure felt dumb in the beginning, but after awhile I really had some great times with you guys. Of course, I also had a great time with the girls but... I learned a lot and at the same time I had a lot of fun. Thanks again, I really enjoyed living with you. I hope I’ll see you all again!!! TotZiens,(Goodbye) Pete Hi all you Kimballites , Thanks for a fantastic year! This lifetime experience is something I’ll never forget, thanks to the great people who live in this neat community.

It’s not quite as easy as they anticipated it would be arguing about how much of their hard earned money to spend, what to order, where it goes, and who and how it’s put there. Worries of clashed blues and an over flowing fountain haunted the class of '81 as they struggled over the obstacles of papers, boxes, and boards.

Unlike most twins, Judy and Jody like the closeness and confusion of being identical. To the Crockers, getting them mixed up is understandable, something they've learned to accept. Being twins means also being friends. Since they share the same activities such as hobbies, and T.V. shows, it’s almost crucial that they get along. Being identical twins doesn't mean being carbon copies of each other. Competition keeps the individualism alive in the twins. Trying to reach higher goals than the other is a part of their activities, but it doesn't dampen their closeness. It encourages them to succeed in their own talents. When failure hits one of them there is always the other one to lift their spirits and to depend upon when times are blue. Being twins, according to Judy and Jody, brings out the best qualities in them both.

Is it when you get your Senior pictures taken, or is it when you get your Senior Key and realize that, according to Mr. Haun's chalkboard, there are only 50 days left at KCHS? It seems like yesterday was just a part of freshman life to some, and that graduation is still very faraway. But as May 20th closes in, seniors are made to realize that in no time at all KCHS will be a part of the past. The next step will be a hard one and the pressure is heavy as the questions of where to go and “what to do are asked of each senior.

School dances and sports seemed an inexpensive activity, students spending only around $20.00 for the year. Activity tickets, well worth it for most KCHS’ers, sold for $5.00, granting issuance to most events.

This was a popular question when President Carter began bringing this issue up in the winter months of 1979 80. And though the Ira nian Crisis prompted many seniors to think of war as a strong possibility in the near future, no one wanted to see the draft come back. Mutual feelings of I’ll go if I have to and “Bring it back only if it’s absolutely necessary filtered through 19 year old seniors, although one felt it wouldn't do any good because if we get in a war it'll probably be with Russia, and that will only be a matter of how fast they can land their bombs on us.” Women were brought into the issue this year, and KCHS said Send them, but keep them in the offices ! With most seniors being 18, raising the drafting age to 19 sounded like a good idea to them. This controversy floated between the legal drinking age of 19 and the 18 year old voting age, finally resting on Let the adults fight the war so we can go to college”. 106 Class of 1980 REALIZE THEIR ADVENTURE IS JUST BEGINNING Mike Flores—Band 1,2,3,4; Pep Band 3,4; Wrestling 1,2.

Remember the old question, ‘‘What are you going to be when you grow up?” Now that you’ve grown up, this question is being asked again. But not until after the ultimate: “Where are you going to college?” KCHS seniors are going to spread out over the tri-state region in the next year. The University of Nebraska-Lincoln seemed to be the most common choice, yet New Mexico, Kansas, Arizona, Texas, and Washington will also get their share of Kimballites. Of the few KCHSers not tackling the college life, a very minute number plan to keep Kimball as their home.

Seniors had mixed emotions on the auditorium seats, and by taking a look most thought UGH.” Next to a game against Gering or Sidney, what do students talk most about? Well, excessive homework was a half-decent answer, but dating would definitely beat it out. Many students feel that, although going steady is okay, casual dates crowded out being tied down”. “You need to get to know more than just one person in high school. In our small town of 3700 people, what to do on a date is always a controversial question. Dragging main just seemed like the thing to do, but rising gas prices shot that idea down for most of KCHS’ers gas-guzzlers . The thought of a perfect date usually consisted of dinner—ranging from pizza to lobster— and a double creature-feature, but if available, a fireplace, a bottle of wine, mellow tunes, and a white bearskin rug” sounded very appealing. This was translated into an electric heater, a couple of Cokes, Mork and Mindy”, and the living room couch, usually complete with an inquisitive little sister. A good personality is a must for a date”, and Bo Derek of the movie 10” seemed like another good possibility. 110 Class of 1980 DATING, RELATING, AND JUST BEING Peter Neven—Football 4; Student Council 4 Tim O’Brien—Band 1,2,3; Basket ball 1,2; Football 1,2,3,4; Track 1,2,3,4; K Club 2,3,4.

Seniors 113 MAJOR WORLD ISSUES SURFACED IN THE Local gossip was overcome by the worries of national news. The Iranian Crisis and the invasion of Afghanistan became the major issues for the world. As time went by these issues proposed fears of a third world war and a boycott of the Summer Olympics in Moscow. When the U.S. military attempted a hostage rescue mission in Tehran, the failure caused doubts in the nation's power. Starvation of Cambodians had always been known by Kimballites, but now the ordeal seemed more realistic with an Indo-Chinese family being a part of the town. Inflation and the unpredictability of gold were also evident. These American problems gave the elections various issues on which to ponder and Carter versus Kennedy became a well-known headline. With worries on the shoulders of Americans, the movies did their best to relieve them. “Kramer versus Kramer’’ gave people new insights on child custody cases and Steve Martin gave a hilarious performance in “The Jerk’’. The movies gave people a break from the troubles facing the world and showed there’s always time to smile. President Jimmy Carter tries to figure out a new rescue attempt for the hostages after the first one tragically failed. A gathering of hateful Iranians burn “Old Glory in an anti American protest. The figure of Ayatollah Khomeini became the subiect of many hostilities portrayed through crude jokes. Mr. and Mrs. Don Van Hoang and children. Van Thi, Son Van. and Huong Thi. an Indo-Chinese refugee family arrived in Kimball on May 8. 1980. 114 World News WORRIED MINDS OF CONCERNED KIMBALLITES Meryl Streep and Dustin Hoffman received Oscars for their perform ances as Best Supporting Actress and Best Actor in “Kramer vs. Kramer . An American hostage reluctantly lets himself be moved out of the American Embassy in Iran after the rescue attempt failed. Pope John Paul II made many visits in the United States to say mass to hundreds of thousands of Christians. A sister and brother act, Beth and Eric Heiden, dominated the ice events as they skated off with gold medals in the Winter Olympics. Presidential candidate Ted Ken nedy challenged President Jimmy Carter to an open debate concern mg maior political issues. Permis sion granted for all photographs from Time and Newsweek maga zines. World News 115 LATEST TRENDS ACCENTUATE STYLISH STUDENTS “Did you see the chic in that fur coat? Yes, the latest trends and fashions have hit KCHS. Be it the moon boots or slit skirts, students are experiencing today’s fads. Spike heels, charm necklaces and clogs were donned by the gals while the guys stuck to the conservative look—blue jeans and tee-shirts. But never fear, the look of individuality is still a popular fad here at KCHS. Whether you like ever-present blue jeans and flannel shirts or the new vibrant pastels, “your” fads are right at home. 116 Fashionable Fads QUOTES AND PIX REVEAL UNTOLD STORIES Trying to get a serious comment from a coach or a straight picture isn’t always easy, and sometimes it’s nearly impossible. Although some of the “reject” quotes and pictures we get might sum up a season very well, they’re usually unprintable. 1949 was a very good year” was Mr. Dave Bashaw's favorite, while Mr. Keith Staehr was more direct and to the point with “Throw the scorebook away” and We stunk!!! Photography was a different story. Our fearless photographer’’, Joann Bourlier, has found it's extremely difficult for most people to stand still for 1 125th of a second while posing for a picture. And then there are those people who think it’s great fun to cover the lens just as the shutter button is pushed. Joann also discovered a new way to conserve film: squeeze 36 exposures in the space made for five! So this, Our Favorite Rejects , is dedicated to the coaches, camera clowns, and photographer who have helped make it possible.

Mastering the skills of learning and creating high goals set the path for National Honor Society members. Seniors and Juniors were questioned, evaluated, and then the few select were initiated. Even though this was a big step, the new members, like the old members, are expected to live up to the expectations and values of being in NHS. As the new sponsor, Don Candelaria, took over the Chapter, higher grade point averages and more outgoing qualities were adopted also. The Chapter became more involved in outside projects, with painting the graffittied swimming pool as their first goal.

Jay Mueller, Lowell Arnold, and Lon Lewellen share a joke which Shel ley Strasheim didn't seem to think was so funny. As the seemingly endless yards of crepe paper were finally in place. May 3 dawned with Juniors and Seniors getting their tuxes and formats ready for the Prom that evening. Brian’s Song and You’ll Never Walk Alone were among the songs that set the seniors thinking that this would be their last Prom banquet. The Grand Illusion began as an evening of perfectly fixed hair and fresh flowers. But as the night wore on, the hair began to fall, flowers wilted, and the tears flowed. Not only were the tears emotional, but also the result of one senior's idea of a practical joke. Those who were alive enough after the dance changed out of those super-comfortable tuxes and for-mals to head out to the drive-in for all-night flicks. Although some did see the shows, others took the chance to catch up on much-needed sleep. As the sun rose, the Grand Illusion moved on from a reality to another memory. 120 Grand Illusion CHERISH YESTERDAY, DREAM TOMORROW, LIVE TODAY Exchanging final congratulations, Damon Debowey lends Shelly Wynne his shoulder to cry on. Co-Salutatorians Lynn Atkins and Connie Dinges. and Valedictorian Joy Whartman wait nervously to give their speeches. As seniors prepared for their last and greatest acknowledgement for 13 years of hard work, caps were put in place and memories of times—good and bad— flashed through every mind. The Class of 1980, 94 strong, were presented with their diplomas in front of a gymnasium of proud relatives, friends and faculty. The tension and nervousness ceased as 94 caps went flying into the air as the graduates were presented for the last time. The time for Movin’ On had arrived and the senior Class of 1980 look toward the future with curiosity and confidence. h THE HANDS OF TIME If the hands of time Were hands that I could hold. I'd keep them warm And in my hands they'd not turn cold. Hand in hand we d choose The moments that should last; The lovely moments That would have no future and no past.

The awards convocation, NHS Initiation, and the sound of the band playing Brian’s Song as you walked through the halls, reminded students that it was that time of the year—time to be Movin’ On. The countdown of remaining days, and the thought of summer vacation just around the corner helped students combat spring fever. Enjoying the celebration of his birthday, Mr Bashaw begins the demolition of his cake. Days of warm, dry weather were few and far between but Jody Crocker, Carol Dunkin. Roberta Frank and Lynn Wallesen didn't pass up this chance to soak in some rays . It’s a very complex instrument, but with the help of the Scottish musician, Tom Bowman performs at an assembly.

And, surprisingly, our school can be as unique and different as the yearbook staff’s bathtub boat or “land shark”. We’d like to give a special thanks to Kathy Stahla who helped out at deadline time, to Mr. Meyer who helped us with our photography problems, and thanks to everyone else who helped make this 1980 Longhorn possible. We hope to have captured some of these out-of-the-ordinary happenings in the 1980 Longhorn, not to mention the ordinary things that keep Kimball County High School Sailin' On”.
