Students can really appreciate Room C-5 because hanging on the walls and appearing throughout the area can be seen displays of art projects. The four-year art program, which was set up by Merceda Dietz, introduced the students to a variety of techniques. During the first year they worked on drawing, which included areas of perspective, as well as figure and self-portraits. They also did some painting and worked with color mixing. Crafts such as macrame, copper tooling, wax and leather carving, and some individual projects of their interest occupied most of the time of second year students. Third year art classes got into more advanced work with drawing and crafts, learning to work with new media. The talent of each individual was projected in the various assignments completed during fourth-year art. They worked on projects from areas such as pottery, watercolor and batik dying.

Ex. oil painting, glassblowing, and photography. Among the more popular classes were glassblowing and photography which were taught by Mr. Don Meyer. Glassblowing was an introductory course on all phases of the artistic and scientific manipulation of molten glass. Some of the more favorite objects blown were swans, large ships and harps. Photography was a general interest course which covered all aspects of black and white film. Students in advanced photography worked with colored film and on advanced projects of their own choice.

Fall brought football, and with football came! marching band. Practicing on the football field and street marching, under the direction of Major Jeff Talbott, helped many band members get in shape for the annual Farmers Day Parade. Winter brought concert band, and the annual AFS benefit concert. With the arrival of spring, the band members began preparing for their final concert of the year. The highlight for band director Mr. Harry McNees was his winning The Donald A. Lentz Outstanding Band Master Award, the highest honor given to a state band director. The band members were equally pleased with the honor and suprised Mr. McNees with a potluck dinner. At the close of the year came the seniors last performance. Playing at graduation culminated the year’s activities.

C 10 Boys Varsity Basketball Districts Won . . . On to State Winning all but two games, the varsity team had a great season. With their losses to Mitchell and Sidney early in the season, the Longhorns came back to overcome these opponents. Their final game against Mitchell, a tough opponent, took four overtimes to win. The team earned their seat in the state playoffs by downing Gering, Sidney, and Mitchell in the district competition. Mount St. Michael, an easy win, was the team’s first opponent in the state tournament. The semi-finals proved to be more challenging and the Longhorns lost by seven against Lincoln Pius. It was a tough game all around with the starters playing most of the game. The team kept the fans on their feet and had strong crowd support. Packed gymnasiums, echoing cheers, and rousing sounds from the pep band showed the excitement captured by this winning team. A) Soaring through the air. Bill Rolph puts it up for two.

Boys Varsity Basketball 11 Freshmen Gain Experience As Coach Keith Staehr's freshman team compiled a 1-9 season record. Lacking offensive quickness and speed the team averaged only 30 points a game. The team lacked experience and confidence. By the season’s finale players had gained valuable knowl- edge and confidence to be used later in reserve and varsity basketball. Although it was not a winning season, teamwork was evident and several players showed strength which will be an asset to next years basketball.

The two seniors, Ann Kallhoff, and Bonnie Strauch, and the four juniors, Ellen Johnson, Annette Greenwood, Debbie Felton, and Trisha Haun. The main highlight of the season was the triple overtime game with Scottsbluff. The score was 34 to 34 at the end of regulation play. The final score was 40 to 46 causing the second loss of the season. A team with only two seniors was not expected to do well but with the help of the juniors and sophomores the season ended with a record of 8-9.

The reserve team had alot of high scoring with exceptional scores from Karen DeFreece and Brenda Jensen. Other high scores came from LeeAnn Bradford and Shaunna Kelsey. Inspite of illness, which kept her from participating in all games, Lisa Buddecke led the team in field goal percentage and free throw shooting. Dale Hendrickson’s successful coaching of the junior varsity squad made girls' basketball at KCHS appear brighter for next season. Hard work and community support has and always will give the team extra confidence. 16 Girls Reserve Basketball Freshmen Brag a 4-0 Record Girls’ freshman basketball ended their season well with a score of 4-0. Even though the freshman team didn't get a chance to play many games, they did a great job in the games they played. Team spirit and readiness for each game was nothing new for the underclassmen as they were used to playing as a team in junior high. The unbeaten freshman team should help make another strong team next year for KCHS girl's basketball.

D) Which file does this go under?” is the question running through Lesia Kirk’s mind. If anyone is planning a career in business such as secretary, filing clerk, etc., then the KCHS business department is a good place to begin. One can start in the ninth grade with typing which can be strengthened in office practice as a senior. Shorthand is offered for the student who wants to take dictation. There are other courses if the student wants to pursue a career in accounting. Some of these classes are Accounting I and II, office practice and general business. Business courses are not required, they are electives, but these classes are very good to have even if you don’t plan to move into a business career. Courses such as typing, will be needed not only in high school, but also in college and most other occupations.

Their hours of work on techniques of precision payed off when they performed. Because of their leadership. fans were always eager to join in the cheering for either a winning or losing team. The cheerleaders were busy putting on the Homecoming activities, practicing after school and performing for the pep rallies and sport programs of the school. The varsity cheerleaders, were under the direction of Mr. Steve Gilliland, and the freshmen, were under the supervision of Miss Kenda Brown. r Cheerleaders— chier'Ieders n.

Cheerleaders 21 Musical, Concerts Contests Keep The Select Choir Very Busy This was the first year auditions were given for a select choir. Students tried out and were selected at the end of last year. They could now produce a better quality sound. The choir was a very active group. They had a winter concert, in which they performed a variety of numbers for different listening groups. They also tackled the Broadway musical “My Fair Lady in March. In April they participated in the District Music Contest. The Expressions Concert in May gave the students a chance to let themselves go and relax, getting away from the formal attire and atmosphere. Looking back, the year was a success, giving students a chance to explore their talents. A A) Piano accompanist. Carlene Bateman concentrates on her music. Select Choir: Vonda Palmer. Becky Vigil.

C Jazzman , Ocapella and Let the Sunshine In were just a few of the selections that helped the Crimson Cream brighten the day for the audiences they sang for. In addition to the pleasure of participating. they learned how to get along with others and have a good time. Many hours were spent preparing for the District Music Contest in Scottsbluff and the Expressions Concert, a spring performance. Many local groups requested these performers as their entertainment on special occassions. Each one of these 26 entertainers put forth alot of effort to add a little class to KCHS. Crimson Cream 23 Harriers Find Foes Mighty Good Cross country, one of the more rigorous sports, pushes athletes to improve their running time in each competition. The highlight of the girls season was participating in State at Kearney where they placed 6th, competing with 25 complete teams and 125 runners in Class B. Gale Mueller finished 11th, Missy McCombs 40th, Stephanie Meyer 45th, and Jennifer Masada 55th. Wendy Wolforth was unable to run in District and State meets due to a knee injury. All of these girls will return next season. Coach George Haun had a rebuilding year for the boys and they did gain much experience for this season's competition. Highlighting their season was placing 5th at the District meet which was held in Kimball. Cross country runners, whether they win or lose, gain confidence and pride in themselves and maintain a physical stamina which is an asset to them in other athletic ventures.

English Provides a English covered a large scope of ideas and gave one an ever-expanding range of creative enrichment. From diagramming sentences, or increasing vocabulary, to exercising the mind with the understanding of great literature, KCHS offered it all. Freshmen and sophomores were offered basic English and composition classes with some introduction to literature. Juniors and seniors had more choices. They could have continued to study work in the vocational area; seniors could have reinforced their spelling and vocabulary skills, written a research paper to learn fundamentals of that process, or taken journalism to earn an English credit. Teaching in these areas were Mr. Richard Strasheim, Mr. Steve Gilliland, Miss Kenda Brown and Mrs. Jane Morehouse. Each instructor in his own way strove to bring about a better understanding of the world of words and writing which surround us. c A| Ms. Barbara Vogel is amused at Gary her find the answers.

A Active AFS and ASSE Students Anne Lise Fjaelberg was a AFS student from Norway. Her American family was Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Moss. She was active in volleyball, basketball and also enjoyed going to school dances. Participating in cross country and basketball, Ramon Garcia was very active in the sports program. Picking up a few rhythms he could be seen playing the drums in concert and marching band. Mr. and Mrs. Harry McNees were the host family for this student from Honduras. Niklas Hjorth, an ASSE student from Sweden, lived with the Floyd Barrett family. Football and wrestling were his choices. Everyone enjoyed his terrific practical joking and sense of humor. All three exchange students enjoyed dances and school gatherings. If they were not in a sport, you could see them in the crowd cheering the teams on. Exchanging ideas and learning about different cultures helped make the world just a little smaller for the Longhorns whose lives they touched.

A game played by two teams, consisting of eleven men each, goals at each end of the field, and mighty Longhorns scoring like wild! Longhorn power—maybe you thought that was just a term used in one of the cheers, merely a form of emphasis. But Longhorn power was a way of playing the game for Coach Keith Staehr’s 1981 squad. The season ended 9-1, and the team was the undisputed champ of the Western Conference, and the only team to score against the State Class B Champs Grand Island Northwest, in the State Playoffs. Best of all, the team was ranked 2nd in the state. D A1 Coach Keith Staehr and Mitch Daum discuss battle tactics during a time-out. B) Ray Villavicencio takes the ball in for another Longhorn score.

Getting over initial fears, they contributed themselves to many academic and extracurricular activities. These various activities helped them become more responsible and independent. Striving to become an upperclassman and take on added responsibility, is their main goal. Freshmen encountered some amusing obstacles this year. Having to dodge the initiation on Homecoming night and finding their classes without being detoured by upperclassmen were all parts of freshman life.

They're a pain—I want to live a while! replied Ronda Snyder, when asked about her views on high school hassles. Being a freshman wasn't easy, but it wasn't all hardships either. Freshman Ronda found life in high school to be busier than junior high—there were more classes to choose from and more people—a chance to make friends and meet guys. She also found high school gave her more freedom and added responsibility. As for upperclassmen, “They aren’t that bad . . . some are mean, but I’ll be doing the same thing when I’m a senior, whether the freshmen deserve it or not.” Freshmen 39 Future Business Leaders B) FBLA Officers—Front Row—DeAnna Goranson.

A question many people apparently answered yes to as FBLA had one of their most successful annual candy sales. The money earned paid for the club's activities. To begin the year old and new members enjoyed a pizza party. A trip to Denver included a tour of the Hewlett Packard facility in Fort Collins, a nonunion company which makes computers. The members observed the assembly-line and learned about some outstanding employee-employer relations. In Denver they toured one of the nation’s best crime labs and learned about many new concepts in criminal detection. At the Museum of Natural History a film entitled ‘‘Space Race” took them back through the history of many of the failures and successes of our race into space.

Competitive activities strengthen the background students need to prepare for their own farming careers. Winning top honors is what the FFA chapter is familiar doing. The KCHS chapter was awarded a bronze emblem, placing them in the top 3 percent of all FFA chapters in the nation. At the Future Farmers of America State Convention, the chapter won the sweepstakes award and four new state farmers were honored. Mr. Charles Morehouse, guidance counselor was awarded a plaque and named honorary State Farmer.

FFA 43 FHA Contributes To National Building Fund The Future Homemakers of America and their sponsor, Ms. Cathy Carter, began the year with a trip to Morrill to the district meetings. Jane Knapp, the local president, was selected as a district representative. In addition the Kimball chapter was recognized for the most successful money-making activity, the Luscious legs contest, which is held annually in February to celebrate National FHA week. Like to carve pumpkins? At the local Halloween party everyone created their own jack-o-lantern making pumpkins with real scary expressions and having a great time. National FHA week, February 7-13, was filled with daily attractions. Here one had the opportunity to vote, with spare change, for the meanest teacher in the school. This year's winner, Ms. Carter, was awarded a whipping paddle. Members of FHA selected and took pictures of some of the best-looking male legs in the school. The student body then voted on the most luscious legs among them. Congratulations go to Tom Feemster, the winner. As a finale to the week's activities, a pie eating contest was held. Everyone attending wondered who was enjoying it more, the participants or the spectators. Drama Club teamed up with FHA again this year to present the third annual dinner theatre. This activity netted them some profits and provided some real fun for the members. A first this year for the FHA was contributing to the National Building Fund in Washington, D.C. The contribution was made at the state conference in April. A| Making sure |im Kinnison's bib is on lightly. Cindy Simms fastens the pins. B| At the FHA Halloween party. Kim Donner eats her treats.

Class sponsor is Mr. Buford Williams (center). “Who’s going to be free for the game tonight?” This was a familiar question asked by their class sponsor, Mr. Buford Williams. Juniors quickly learned to make up excuses before they ran into him, but some were caught and ended up working in the concession stand anyway. But without putting your share of time in selling popcorn, coke, pickles, and candy, you couldn’t have had the crepe paper fights or the pop and candy breaks, which built the 82 Prom. “Evening in the Park.” Juniors 59 KCHS Kandids A| Brenda Jensen and Koni Hull find it's easier to study in a quiet library.

That comment could always be read on the faces of many students. But with fine teachers like Mr. George Haun, Mr. Buford Williams, and Mr. Dave Bashaw, those sour expressions soon lit up. Mr. Haun’s Senior Math class, for example, learned how to use computers to help figure their trigonometry. Mr. William's ever-crowded Consumer Math went from income tax to all practical applica- ■ tions of mathematics.

Math Department 65 Long Hard Hours of Practice Turn Was this idea a dream too big to come true? The answer would come after the final performance. The work began the day after Christmas vacation. Songs and lines had to be learned. All chorus numbers had to be perfected. Later came the other jobs that had to be completed in order to make My Fair Lady” possible. Some of these jobs were the building and painting of sets. Thanks to Mr. Dave Bashaw and his woodworking class, sets and props came into existence. Second period just wasn't enough time to get very much practicing in, so noon hours and after-school practices plus the seemingly never-ending night began. But all was polished and perfected. Finally the big night rolled around, the night when everything had to be done without any coaching. The cast was on their own. The success of My Fair Lady depended on how well the cast would perform to a sell-out crowd. As the curtain parted, the dream became a reality. The audience was receptive, the show was a hit!

Candids 69 Local and World News— n|y)uz n. A report of recent events that affects the world around us. A Home for the MX Missle? Big news headlines in our area, as well as the nation, was the proposal of the installation of the MX missile. The MX Missile, a new type of long range missile, replaced the older, less destructive Minute-man missile. It’s designed to be moved from silo to silo by railroad tracks for better protection and camaflauge from the enemy. Two hundred Minuteman III missile silos in the immediate area had already made Kimball the center of one of the largest Minuteman III missile installations in the United States. There were many pros and cons to the installation of the new missile, along with opposition and support for it. The use of many acres of farm land and the design of shuffling missiles from silo to silo had caused much unrest with area farmers. But many businessmen felt that it would bring a boom to our town, like the one experienced with the installation of the Minuteman Missiles. With much controversy about the missile’s home, Kimballites were left not knowing of its future or theirs. Ribbon Cutting Ceremonies Open New Pool Summer fun in Kimball has always included swimming at the public pool. In recent years the 30-year-old pool has had its problems and was finally condemned last year. A new pool, located in Gotte Park, was built to take its place. Complete with ribbon cutting ceremonies on opening day, the pool saw its first season this year. 70 News Events Remembered Kimball, Wyoming? For those who have lived here for some years, the name sounds funny. But a proposal to annex the panhandle of Nebraska to the state of Wyoming did come about. Even with snickers from the East, the people of the panhandle put serious thought into the idea. The idea was made into a bill which was presented to the Wyoming legislature but they declined to get involved. The people of the panhandle felt they were not represented fairly or were not given their share of tax revenue for road repair and upkeep or for the school districts. The panhandle is made up of 11 counties and has a vast amount of agricultural and mineral wealth. It makes up 25 percent of the land area of Nebraska yet only has 3 of the 49 senators. With little representation, the proposal to our own legislature was put down. North Platte, located in the approximate center of the state, jokingly volunteered to become the new capital as the panhandlers complained of the long distance to their state capital. The discussion of annexation to our western neighbors was never resolved and the panhandlers are still a part of Nebraska.

A lake, a theatre, stores, main” street, Ken's Mini Mart, video games and a good selection of tunes at hand. There was something for everyone—a look around the school could have eased any doubts. Fashion? A prime example. Almost anything went with the girls. Knickers, Legwarmers, and any other style was likely to be seen. Everyone seemed to enjoy using clothes as a way of expressing themselves. Music? Hard rock still topped the list, but students were also listening to other tunes, like country, punk, and Fresh Aire. Hair? A few boys opted for the very short buzz, a look which deserved a second glance. Over the year it was obvious that students not only worried about grades, but also about what’s new, in, and changing. They weren’t afraid to try anything a bit crazy, because, after all, “variety is the spice of life.” Favorite Hangouts 1- Ken's Mini Mart 2. Pizza Hut 3.

After the crepe paper was hung and the tables were set up, the juniors were finally ready to present “An Evening in the Park.” The evening began with the annual Prom banquet. Guests were entertained by Jennifer Masada and Tom O’Brien with vocal solos and Jeff Talbott with a piano solo. The banquet was then followed by the Prom dance. The big moment finally rolled around when the king, queen and attendants would be announced. Stacy Evelyn was named queen and Bill Rolph was named king to preside over the Prom with Attendants Ann Kallhoff, Ray Villavicencio, Bonnie Strauch and Mark Spargo. Music of the “Dynamics” held the attention of the prom goers until the very stroke of midnight when they prepared to finish out the Prom and head out to the all-night movies.

Act of producing a newspaper or yearbook, doing air notes and putting forth much effort. I 80 Publications Working hard to meet deadlines and getting things done just right in the knick of time, is how the journalism class manages to complete their jobs. Yearbook staff sometimes had trouble finding just the right pictures to fit where they wanted. Trying to think of things to say proved to be another problem. With the help of the editors, Jane Knapp and Stephanie Jellison, the yearbook went smoothly. Meanwhile the newspaper people could be seen getting facts about sports, drawing cartoons, writing editorials, and getting all of the latest news and last but not least, they had the job of stapling the paper together. When the two groups met as a journalism class they studied newspaper and media techniques and sometimes assisted in Air notes, a live daily radio program which was also a public relations feature of KIMB Radio. With all of the deadlines for copy that had to be written, the publications people usually managed to get things done on time.

Publications 81 There Is More To Life Than Attending School When spring finally set in the students got restless and could hardly wait for the next weekend. The warm weather drew them to the Dairy Queen for something cool and refreshing, the swimming pool invited a welcome relief from the heat, and the lake offered some lazy day fishing. Some students ventured downtown to the variety of stores, to buy the first thing that caught their eye. Others found themselves working to pay for their purchases. But no matter what the occasion these weekday scholars always found some adventure outside their English and math books.

Fire! “Load your weapons and commence firing.” With Mr. Buford Williams at the lead, the small but talented rifle club kept busy perfecting their skills and learning many ways to handle their firearms. Only seven strong this year, the small club boasts two female members, both seniors. Mickey Olsen has been in rifle club since her freshman year, and has earned many medals. Although they do not compete with other schools, members earn medals through challenging themselves and achieving these goals. 84 Rifle Club D Rowdy Rangers Happenings in and out of KCHS are not always “scholarly endeavors.” Whenever students use the word “rowdy” to describe their activities, it could range from cruising main street during lunch to attending the “party at the end of each sport season.

C Students interested in science-related subjects or who planned to pursue science careers had a variety of courses from which to choose. For future star-gazers, Mr. Buford Williams made his class, Earth Science, a new challenge. Students interested in archaeology found help in his class too, by studying geology and paleontology. Electronics class was offered for the engineers of tomorrow. Electronics students participated in the actual building of a radio. Mr. Williams also taught physics, where they studied energy, motion, and heat. For the potential medical student, Mr. Don Meyer’s advanced biology class gave a complete survey of human anatomy and human physiology. Technicalities concerning basic matter, it's chemical reactions and energy, made chemistry an interesting science to study. Mr. Chuck Bunner's biology class was one of the more popular required science classes. Thanks to the efforts made on the part of these teachers, the students left the science department with varied skills relating to their individual goals. Science Department 87 femora In the windy Nebraska panhandle, another year passed and another class graduated. Hardly a phenomenon to stop time, yet in itself was very incredible. Here were seventy-seven lives to follow numerous paths and become the future. With the end of the high school career, there were so many decisions to make, plans, and finalizations. Many felt the indescisiveness and reluctance to leave home, to leave most of their friends, and to leave all the familiarity.

It has quite a bit of meaning to it. It means it’s your last football game, your last Prom, your last chance to travel with the team to State and your last chance to pick on freshmen. But more importantly, there are decisions to make that will effect the rest of your life. As you sit in the hot classrooms that old disease of Senioritis never fails to creep up on you and you wish you were out at the lake or anywhere but there. Suddenly it's all over and you are receiving your diploma and you must move on to bigger and better things. But there will still be the strong foundation high school has built and the memories for life.

This word simply cannot express exactly the character of this class, and what they do to the atmosphere of our school, but an attempt, never-the-less will be made to clarify all doubts. They stormed in the doors last year as eager freshmen, and no one has forgotten it since. The sophomores really have the energy reserve to make it to the top of the totem pole. During the year, they quickly became used to the many happenings in KCHS, and got involved with many varsity athletics and groups. Several of them landed spots on varsity teams and won honors and offices in many groups and clubs. They have shown spirit, pride and spunk in what they did and should represent our school well in the next few years.

Special Education 105 Speech Team Fares Well at State Speech— spech n. Any number of stu denis engaged in expressing themselves, in many ways—humorously and seriously-using the English language. Primarily, a student’s success in speech competition results from dedication to perfect his individual selection. Self-confidence is achieved through practice and performance. Speech students competed in two invitational meets, Morrill and Bridgeport. The local contest determined the team that would compete at district and all students earning a superior at district qualified for state. State finalist included Jeff Talbott who went on to win his second first-place in Class B seri- ous prose. Jeff also won the local, district and state Voice of Democracy script reading contest. The oral reading of drama group were finalists at state, too, and placed third. Jim Kinnison was the district winner of the American Legion Oratorical Contest and placed second in state competition. Being a superior performer is not necessarily the ultimate goal of the coach. If a student learns to speak well in front of any group, he or she is a real winner.

During the 1981-82 School year, the Student Council participated for the first time in assisting the cheerleaders with the Homecoming dance. One of the activities they will discontinue is the purchasing of class rings and yearbooks for the exchange students attending KCHS. Because of rising costs, the council had to drop this program. Funds were raised this year from operating the foos ball table, selling bleacher cushions and helping with the Homecoming dance. The Student Council and National Honor Society combined their efforts to do a service project, painting the school’s parking lot lines.

Following the same exact schedule day after day can be dull. These KCHS people seemed to enjoy life with unexpected, out-of-the-ordinary activities. Our roving photographer just happened to be in the right places at the right time. Climbing up walls and sitting on them or bird watching at the Ascot Opening Race aren't exactly things you would do everyday, but LeeAnn Bradford and Mr. McNees seemed to enjoy them once in awhile. For a change of pace Mike Maginnis decided to let somebody elses legs do the walking.

Drafting students studied machine tool theory and operation. They also developed techniques about working drawings. Industrial Arts I was an introductory course in the use and structure in a variety of woods, in which they did some small-project construction. Industrial Arts II and III students became involved in more technical woodworking such as cabinets. They were introduced to electrical wiring, house construction and basic shop math.

Vocational Arts 119 Record Belies Willpower of Lady — With only one returning senior, Coach Nancy Bunner was left with an interesting problem-inexperience. Season records don’t usually tell the whole story of the season, and such was the case of the 1981 team. Coach Bunner worked hard with the girls, and with the leadership of senior Jennifer Vencill, the team learned that experience is a tough nut to crack. High points of the season included beating Wyoming State Champ Pine Bluffs to take 3rd in the Kimball Invitational Tournament. Experience was gained, and the team began to set their sights for next year, and a new season. Pi Kf' v ' P B A) Coach Nancy Bunner looks anxiously to the scoreboard.

Several members suffered injuries while competing, and having to forfeit weight classes caused the team scores to lower. Losing eighteen points before the match can make a victory very difficult. But overall, head coach Mr. Don Candelaria had faith in his kids. “Several team members were sophomores, and injuries were frequent while competing, but taking into account their age and experience, I was well pleased,” expressed Candalaria. Highlights of the year included senior heavyweight Jim Koenig qualifying for state, and sophomore Donny Candelaria, who lead in eight out of nine team statistics, including best record, takedowns, team points, pins, and match points. Paul Vigil, a c junior, had the most reverses of the group. With the amount of young talent that has come up, experience should make the next years better. A) An outstanding team member. Donny Candelaria came back to wrestle after suffering a dislocated shoulder in football. B) A basketball transfer, |im Koenig did very well this year, qualifying for state.

In the Harrison Tournament, Kelan Janicek highlighted the team by placing second. The team placed third as a whole in the Mitchell Tournament against five competing teams. At the same event Kirk Evertson, Paul Richter and Kelan Janicek placed second, while Jerry Barker placed third. Coach Don Candelaria commented that it was a pleasure working with this young, inexperienced team. There were four to five wrestlers on varsity as well as two who were basketball transfers. Each dual match saw three to four weight classes forfeited which cost from 18 to 24 points. Under such circumstances, it is difficult to win. A) RESERVE WRESTLING: Front Row—Kent Spicer.
