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.

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

HORNS STAMPEDE TO HOMECOMING SHUT-OUT ‘■Longhorn Stampede came alive in more ways than one on Homecoming night. 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.
