Showing his appreciation of seniors being able to leave during study hall, Steve Greenlee uses his time to ride around. 2 School Life Excitement, Challenge, Fun are part of School Life Dancing, smiling, being crazy are Shelly Bird well's and jeanie Talbot's ideas of having fun. Tammy Branstetter, Tammy Grimm and Tracy Petersen take a time out from taking pictures to pose for a shot. In addition to completing tiresome homework assignments and making up seemingly endless tardies, students had a variety of things to choose from. Participation in numerous activities, sports, and cheerleading required physical stamina and endurance. These hearty students were at school as early as 6:30 a.m. for practices and sometimes stayed as late as 9 or 10 p.m. Concern was shown by the administration and community about an increasing use of drugs and alcohol among the students. If the temptations were there the student thought twice before indulging in this activity. Pop machines, open campus, and Seniors' absences from study hall all characterize a typical day. The student center was a good place to gather after school for a soda — and help support the band or junior class. If seniors were able to maintain a three average they did not have to report to study halls. A work-study program, implemented last year, was continued again this year. Seniors were given the opportunity to work on a job eighth period of the day. This provided some on-the-job training before graduation from high school. With all these little extras, school life was happier and, above all, provided an opportunity for those students to pursue their interests and provided a background for education and even a vocation upon completion of high school. School Life 3 Dollars for Scholars Mike Maginnis, appears to be advertising to Carlene Batemen his favorite slogen, “Shop at Ken's Mini Mart, we have everything from antifreeze to gum. While working at Conoco, Gregg Robbins gets a chance to do a little dirty work, but also learn a variety of different skills. Mike Tindall is kept busy at the Pizza Hut, a favorite hangout for students. Another day of work? This thought seemed to cross many people's minds when they thought of another day on the job. Although the thought of work seemed tiring after a day of school or during a Saturday afternoon most students didn't seem to mind their part-time jobs or the money they provided. Students felt a part-time job such as working at Ken's Mini Mart, the theater, the Pizza Hut or Safeway was just what they needed to earn a little extra money, to provide some experiences or training that would help them later, to meet new and interesting people or to just fill their spare time during the weekend. Radio announcer, Robert Kath, commented that even though his job got in the way of sports and homework it still provided him with extra cash and some experience for a possible career. Senior Mike Maginnis felt the extra money he earned helped out with the expenses of being a senior and that he enjoyed seeing his friends and meeting different people while working at Ken's. Many students found that holding a part-time job gave them some independence and a chance to vary their daily life. 4 Student Life Stephanie Meyer and Robert Kath team up to broadcast a Sunday afternoon program at KIMB Toni Witt, while working at Safeway, can be seen most of the time being friendly to shoppers as well as fellow employees. Even now carrying these grocery bags she still manages to flash a big smile. Student Life 5 Ernie Larkin spends some pocket money for a night at the movies, a popular Saturday night entertainment center. After a home basketball game the local Pizza Hut is always busy Kelan Janicek, Derede Heim, Dawn Patterson, and Bobby Hinton enjoy a coke after the Sidney game. Ken's Mini Mart, a favorite student hangout always buzzing with activities, is a good place for Jim Pruett, Brad Randall, Deron McGee, and Greg Dinges to catch up on the local news. 6 Saturday Night Kent Spicer shows that extra change can be used for one of the newest crazes, video games, which can be found at The Lickity Split. The bowling alley is a place for fun, and active entertainment for freshman. Dean Fox. Students Wind Down After a Week of Studies After five days of from dawn to dusk practices, homework assignments, athletic events, and much more, students needed to vary their activities during the weekend. Relaxation found many different forms—from video games at Likity Split to snacks at the Pizza Hut and Ken's Mini Mart. Some students even found themselves haunting 901 South Nadine again to attend school-related games, concerts, or plays. Special weekends might have included a ski trip to Medicine Bow, Wyoming, a roller skating party in Scottsbluff or shopping trip to Cheyenne. Weekend activities were limited only by the students' funds and creativity. Saturday Night 7 Assemblies Assemblies, selected by the student council members, entertained students, and seemed to make school life more enjoyable. One of the favorite returning programs was Mr. Jack Lithgoe, hypnotist. He entertained the students and faculty along with people of the community by hypnotizing students— taking them back into early childhood and into the future. He transformed several unsuspecting volunteers into Burt Reynolds, Barbara Walters, and Cheryl Tiegs. Magician David James White II kept students in suspense with magical tricks using magic rings, levitation, and making birds appear out of thin air. Buddy Craig stops playing the guitar While under hypnosis, Karen DeFreece long enough to tell the audience a story selected Barbara Walters, when asked about desert cactuses. whom she wanted to be like. 8 Assemblies Entrance The Bernard family delighted students with their singing. They have appeared with many famous vocalists on television and in person. “Water, Water, Cool Clear Water. Who could that be? None other than Buddy Craig and his cactus imitation. He entertained students with his singing, guitar playing and comedy. Although there were few assemblies, students were always looking forward to enjoying the next one. Kevin Spicer was volunteered to assist the youngest member of the Bernard family during an assembly. Brenda Barrett, Lisa Lockhorn, and Koni Hull are enjoying the performance by Buddy Craig After regressing to her childhood, Mr. Lithgoe is asking Val Wynne about the picture she has just finished coloring. Assemblies 9 Senior, Jim Gilmore uses some of his spare time taking guitar lessons from Bill Loring. Here Bill plays along with him to help him with the desired tone. Shelly Pattison takes her spare time to catch up on some much needed rest before her next class. What can you do in your spare time? You could always catch up on the latest news in your favorite soap opera. Here Tammy Branstetter and Koye Hull are tuned into All My Children. 10 Spare Time Spare Time Provides Relaxation from Hectic Schedules Spare Time! When asked what they do in their spare time several students replied, “What's that? School activities, sports, after school jobs and homework kept most of them so busy they didn't have much spare time. After some thought, a few of the answers ranged from reading to running. Those falling between included watching TV, shopping for clothing, talking on the telephone, playing the piano or even gourmet cooking. These various activities gave the students a moment of relaxation away from the hectic schedules that many keep. Sophomore, Kyla Sterling uses a bit of her extra time to make an important call. Cruising main street was always a favorite way to use some spare time Stuart Quador, Shawn Buresh and Justin Hvertson stop to chat a while. Spare Time 11 Cast Cheating, Alcohol, and Drugs are Concerns The lights burned just a little longer in the administrative offices one Monday of every month. Superintendent, Dr. Max Hensley; principal, Mr. Jerry Williams; and board members met to discuss everything from budget problems, recommendations for hiring school personnel, development of school and faculty policies to discussion of the daily operation of the school. Another vital administrator. Dale Hendrickson; activities director kept the sport programs and school buses running smoothly. Two areas of concern last year for the administration was setting up a new cheating policy and the rising drug and alcohol problem. In the past, students caught cheating were given a zero. According to the new policy established early in the year all incidents of cheating were to be reported to the principal, a note was also sent to the parents. First offense was a zero and 10% reduction of the nine week grade, which ever was greater. Second offense was a failing grade for the class and suspension from school. This harsh policy established by the administrators was a definite deterant to those who considered cheating. The Board of Education became increasingly concerned with the illegal use of alcohol and other drugs by under age school students. They believed that the schools could not solve the problem alone but in cooperation of student parents, school personnel and law enforcement. School Superintendent Max Hensley said the community needed to worry more about the children and less about Mr. Big. The purpose of meetings held was to form and ongoing committee to work on the problem and get commitments from officials to cooperate in dealing with the problem. Board members found time to attend the state and national conventions from which they gained knowledge of important administrative problems and recent changes in laws affecting school policies. Both the administration and board members agreed that the primary goal was to continue to provide excellent educational opportunities for students. Discussing bus plans for (he cross country meet are Coach George Haun, activities director Dale Hendrickson, and bus driver Bob Mueller. After looking over the computer grade sheets Principal Jerry Williams appreciates the additional information they can provide him. 14 Administration Superintendent Max Hensley takes a look at one of the many Les Reemts, a high school board members takes time out of his school tax forms. busy schedule to support the FFA at the soup supper.

Here he is shown fixing one of the school backboards. 16 Special Staff What is the best way to keep a diverse group of high school students happy, healthy, clean, well fed, and exposed to the proper learning materials? With a competent staff of secretaries, health care officials, custodians, and cooks, of course. Working behind the scenes to satisfy students' hunger pains and to keep the school in tip-top shape were the cooks and custodians. During the year the administrators were faced with the routines of schedules, graduation, testing programs, and college information. Secretaries were busy with the telephone, attendance, correspondance, and answering various questions from the students. New to this special staff was secretary, Mrs. Karen Munoz taking the place of Mrs. Marilyn Hedin. It was a tough job replacing a 12-year veteran, but everything ran smoothly. These people received little attention although they continued to work hard behind the scenes to maintain the right atmosphere. CUSTODIANS: Kevin Kramer, Loren Kramer, Dave Aquiniga.

Two rookies and two veteran teachers were added to the staff. Mr. Dave Christian was the social studies teacher and head wrestling coach. He was graduated from the University of Northern Colorado. When asked how he liked KCHS, Mr. Christian said, I like the atmosphere here. In big schools you don't get a chance to know all of the students like you do in a smaller school. It's great! Kingsley, Iowa was the hometown of business teacher Miss Shari Lindgren. She jokingly said, About the only thing Kingsley and Kimball have in common is that they both begin with K. She added, The move from Kingsley was a definite adjustment for me. Kimball is a totally different lifestyle than what I am used to. For example, the irrigation process and the oilwells were new to me. Miss Lindgren replaced Miss Viola Golson, a 25-year veteran of the KCHS staff. After a year's absence of foreign language, French and Spanish were again offered in the curriculum. Mrs. JoAnn Menard, an eleven year teaching veteran from Crookstown, MN was the instructor. Another new face at KCHS was Mrs. Vicky Stanec. She taught communications and English 9. Mrs. Stanec came to Kimball from Martin SD where she taught high school English for 4 years. She commuted back and forth between the Junior High and the High School. Death, retirement, and resignation plagued the administration causing the largest turnover of teachers in the 10 years that Mr. Jerry Williams has been principal. Mr. Williams commented, I am confident the new replacements will work hard to fill the shoes of the ones we lost, and we lost some very fine teachers. A guidance counselor was not found to replace Mr. Charles Morehouse but plans were made to hire one for the next year. By May 18 the students were again anxious, but this time they were looking forward to summer vacation instead of the new school year. The four faces were no longer new and unfamiliar.

Keith Staehr Vicky Stanec Physical Education English Barbara Vogel Buford Williams English Science Math KCHS Loses Two Educators The administration, faculty, and student body was shocked at the news that two of KCHS's educators had died, both within a week of each other. Mr. Charles Morehouse, guidance counselor, and Mr. Richard Dick Strasheim, English teacher, both taught in Kimball for a combined 38 years. Mr. Charles Morehouse became director of guidance at KCHS in 1962 after serving as principal at Wahoo and Fairbury, and as superintendant at Crab Orchard, Elwood and Potter. Mr. Morehouse, guidance counselor of 20 years at KCHS, helped many students in a number of ways, such as administering the college entrance tests and the ACT and SAT tests as well as the tests for students with special needs. He was instrumental in starting the educational planning days at KCHS. He also helped many students when registering for their classes and often was asked to write letters of recommendation to colleges for students. He was a member of the Lion's Club and the Masonic Lodge as well as many other organizations. Mr. Dick Strasheim, Stras , died on June 11 after a teaching career of 18 years in Kimball. Mr. Strasheim taught in Max, McCook and Valentine before coming to Kimball in 1964. He taught several English courses such as English 10, English 11, and the senior mini courses; mythology, spelling, short stories, and vocabulary. He was a member of the Eagles Lodge. The combined 38 years teaching experience of these two teachers added much to the curriculum at KCHS. Mr Charles Morehouse was a very busy man with all of the tests he had to give and all of the letters he had to write as well as the counseling he did. Here he is shown taking a break from his hectic schedule to relax. “Stras” enjoyed teasing unsuspecting students anytime of the day. Here he found a victim” in the student center. Ch.int.iani Abayaratna Manoah lioulard Bonnie Aikens Christy Bateman Robert Brown Seniors Relish Newfound Freedom What lies ahead? College? Vocational School? Work? Travel? These are questions that every senior had to answer. Differences between grade levels were distinct. From the first day of school seniors strutted confidently to classes as underclassmen searched frantically for the right room. The senior class as upperclassmen had the duty to lead with maturity. They set examples by showing spirit and leadership qualities. As seniors found themselves faced with numerous decisions preparing them for adulthood, this gap widened further. The senior year was not only a time for an end, but it was a time for beginnings. Students seemed to divide and go their separate ways after graduation, however they will always remember their experiences in high school. What lies ahead no one can tell, but through the decisions success and self-fullfillment can be accomplished. rummy Brunstetter Linda Buckle 22 Senior K.iivn Danielson Mark Dillon Greg Dinges Justin Evertson Senior 23 Questions Leave an Array _________Viewpoint______________ Do you think that alcohol and drugs are a problem with our high school students? Brenda Harden: I think that alcohol and drugs are a problem in just about any school wherever you go. But some schools, like ours are trying to help the students by doing something about it. Karen Danielson: Yes, I think alcohol and drugs are a problem. But it isn't just at school, it starts in the home from parent's bad habits. Peer pressure is another factor in the drinking. Mike Weber It is hard to say because I don't run around very much. From what I hear and see at school, students sometimes take up a collection for a kegger or talk about a party. If one person uses drugs and alcohol it should be considered a problem. Trisha Haun: I feel that there is a problem with alcohol and drugs in our school because I feel that even if only a few use them there is a problem. Wendy Wolforth: I think if drugs or alcohol affect even one person it is a problem. It is sad to think that a person is destroying their lives and bodies with drugs or alcohol. I Jim Gilmore DeAnna Goranson Annette Greenwood Tammy Grimm Brenda Harden 24 Senior of Answers Matt Heaton Bill Hinton Kevin Kramer Denise Leininger Koye Hull Ellen Johnson _______Viewpoint____________ How would you feel about graduating in January of your senior year if you had enough credits? Pam Gorsuch: I would not like to graduate in January if I had enough credits. I feel I would miss out on a lot of things that would make my senior year special. I wouldn't be able to participate in track. I might also miss out on some events 1 would really enjoy. I love spending time with my friends. They are very important to me and I wanf to spend time with them now. Lreron McGee: I am very much in favor of early graduation if a student had completed the credit requirements. By graduating early a student could get an early start on college or a career. Or they may be able to have some extra time to earn money to go to college. Liinda Buckle: If I were taking a class of no value to my future plans I would definitely graduate in January in order to work more9 and earn more money for college. On the other hand, if I were taking a class that challenged my thoughts and abilities and were of value to my future, I would not graduate in January even though I may have enough credits.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE STUDENTS: Conrad Ojesjo. Sweden; Chandani Abayaratna, Sri Lanka. Chandani Abayaratna receives a little help from Mr. Buford Williams in her computer class. This was the first year that a computer class had been offered at KCHS. Exchange Students Enhance KCHS When a person can't travel the world for themselves what alternative do they have? They could always get involved with one of the two foreign exchange students that came to KCHS. Chandani Abayaratna. an American Field Service student came to Kimball from the city of Kandy. Sri Lanka to live with the Bob Mueller family. School life in America was a new experience for her. While in Sri Lanka she attended an all-girl school in which the teachers were the ones that moved from class to class instead of the students. I like KCHS; classes are easier compared to ours. The people are really friendly. We don't graduate from our school so I look forward to graduation here. Here there are many different classes such as glassblowing, and photography. Conrad Ojesjo was an American Scandinavian exchange student from Linkoping. Sweden. His host family was the Floyd Barrett's. Unlike in Sweden, he had the opportunity to pick what subjects he wanted. Conrad compared the schools by saying. You go to school for nine years in a classroom situation studying basically the same subject. For the next two to four years you choose the career you would like to enter and then study courses in that general direction. During this time, students go to a place called the gymnasium which is equal to a junior college in America, to study and prepare for their career. Steak was Conrad's favorite food. Exchanging ideas and learning about different cultures helped make the world smaller for the Longhorns who knew these students. Twins Set New Record As the school year opened, many juniors rushed to Larsen's Jewelry Store to pick up their class rings ordered the year before. Most of these new upperclassmen could be seen comparing rings, admiring each others' rings and for some, even exchanging rings. Early in the school year, members of the class participated in the annual junior magazine sales. This year's sales topped the record set in 1979 by more than $500. Wes Harms was the top individual salesman with 27 subscriptions. Magazine and candy sales provided funds for hosting the Junior-Senior Prom, Stairway to Heaven. Midnight blue, light blue, and silver were weaved together to create this final fantasy for the seniors. The past 20 years of the school records were readily available for the quest of a class with two sets of twins. Until the class of '84, it appears there had never been such a class—making this class unique in its own way.

They were good because they let us know how much we really know, and in a sense they can be harmful because some kids score low and their scores depress them and destroys their confidence. Trisha Frank: 1 thought that the SRA test were good for us, because we could find out how much we really did learn in the past. I didn't enjoy taking them, and it wasted a whole day that could have been used in other classes learning more. Jim Correll: If they had some different questions, they may be useful, but beings they were practically the same questions as in 9th and 10th grade, they're not that important. Plus most everyone is just guessing and trying to get done, except for about 10% of our class. Sorry to say, but I don't feel I'm in that percentage. 32 Juniors Steve Richter and Brad Hoffman discuss their Algebra II assignment during lunch.

Cheerleaders Vickie DeHerrera and Lisa Tuller showed their school spirit by making signs, performing at pep rallies, and cheering for all the games. Only a handful of sophomores are chosen to play varsity sports. Spikers Lisa Buddecke, Ginny Heeg, and Jeaneen Talbott consistently showed talent and skill. Heeg also gave many good performances on the basketball court and was an occasional starter. Gridders Bryan Hoffman, Wes Dunn, and Darrell Howitt were key players for Coach Keith Staehr. Hoffman started several games. Harriers Missy McCombs, and Stephanie Meyer lettered in varsity girls' cross-country. Sophomores traditionally do many things but have shown that individually they can reach a little higher. These sophomores gave in to their desires to succeed and excel in their chosen goals. 34 Sophomores Lisa Buddeckd, with her ever-present bubble, shows great concentration while studying for one of Mr Bunnei s dreaded biology tests.

Angie Buddecke: Specialized art classes—instead of having art classes that cover many things, I would like to see an art class that teaches one main thing such as oil painting or sculpturing techniques. Andy Evertson: I feel a literary critism class would be very interesting and helpful. Vickie DeHerrera: School would be interesting if classes such as tennis, dancing, and karate were included in the curriculum. These classes, I feel, would have high-interest level. Dan Yung: Many students work on the farm and have other summer jobs. Including drivers education in the summer curriculum makes it difficult and sometimes impossible for students to participate. I feel drivers education should be scheduled in the school year. Lisa Ring: We need self-defense and jazzercise or aerobic classes. CLASS OFFICERS: Katie Billingsley, president; Tom Wilson, vice-president, Tim Wangler, secretary; Leisa Johnson, treasurer Sophomores 37 Frosh Class Smallest Ever School bells rang Monday, August 23, and 55 eager freshmen entered the halls of KCHS. Research indicated that this class, only 55 strong, was the smallest class to enroll since 1960. This record probably goes back farther, but these were the only records available. Enrollment was on a general decline in area schools in recent years and KCHS was no exception. Student population was the lowest it has been for more than 20 years. Despite being small in number these freshmen had many of the same ideas about entering high school as their predecessors. Freshman Class Officers: Kim Schneider Marty Shoeneman. and Lana Moore.

Freshmen 39 Viewpoints How do you think the MX Missile will affect the Kimball community? David Evertson: The MX Missile will affect the population and economy of the Kimball area. Most of the businessmen would favor these. The increase in population would create a problem in the schools. With more students, the teachers would not be able to give as much individual help. I think that the U.S. does not need the MX Missile. Marty Shoeneman: The bringing of the MX Missile to this area will make the ever-increasing danger of Kimball being attacked greater. It will also cause more conflicts between the farmers of this area and the government. Brad Reader: I believe that the MX Missile will be very beneficial to the town of Kimball. This system should improve our national security and create more jobs. The influx of people will likely increase the flow of money in this town and surrounding towns. I, for one, hope that it is a success. Shannon Dickerson: The MX Missile won't hurt us very much, but it won't do very much for our community either unless it would bring more people here. Julie Barrett: I don't think it will affect Kimball as much as people think. It should bring some more people, but after awhile things will be the way they are now with the minuteman system. Sharon DeFreece: The MX Missile project won't hurt us much, but it will bring more people to our area which will help our economy.

One of the more difficult skills in using the sewing machine is sewing circles. Denise Leiniger, a clothing student, is concentrating on this task.

Did students learn skills in these classes or did they take them to have fun? Business students learned skills that can be used as a base for their future businesses or a more specialized skill such as CPA, executive secretary, or a word processor. Auto mechanics taught students how to service, repair, and take care of their cars. Woodshop students learned how to use the tools and equipment and turned out nice pieces of furniture. Home economics students built a base on which they can go into an occupation as a nutritionist, fashion designer, or another occupation along this line. Vocational agriculture taught students the basics of farming, and farm management. These classes were worth while, and they prepared students for future jobs and life. Students took these classes to learn skills and they enjoyed it, too.

Varsity wrestler Steve Richter develops his strength in weight training by doing some squats Brad Randall, an advanced art student is creating line art. Few things bring students to school early but the thought of including classes such as glass-blowing, photography, art, and weight training in a schedule was incentive for more than one student to rise early on registration day. Darkened rooms, a hall full of pictures, burned fingers, boys as well as girls physical fitness, and odd smells appealed to prospective students who wanted to add some “spice to their schedules. Art classes gave many students a chance to relax and be creative with media ranging from macrame to clay. Weight training, a class designed for student athletes was popular among the students. Novice photographers found themselves capturing a 5:00 a.m. sunrise or a western sunset nestled between two hills. With this variety of classes each student in KCHS could use his own special talent and develop a lifetime hobby or skill.

Some things are inevitable—death and taxes for most people, history and English were for students in KCHS. Although Social Science and English classes were required they both had a variety of selections. American Literature, English Literature, mythology, short stories are a few English choices. Psychology, Modern Problems and World War challenge those interested in past, present, and future events. Jeanine Pietsch said, Doing the syllabus was hard work but I profited from it greatly. American History is interesting and I think Mr. Calise makes it that way, commented J.R. Muske. Como esta usted (How are you?) was one of the first phrases that Spanish I classes learned. Although foreign language classes were not offered at registration last spring, many students revised their schedules to include it when a teacher was hired. Shannon McMurray commented that she found Spanish I very educational and interesting, and will help her in future life. Although some of these classes are inevitable, students found themselves interested and challenged. These challenges open the college doors and make life a little easier with a good background behind them.

This familiar word is heard in schools, businesses and throughout the community. The thought of this word excites some and frightens others. A computer operations class was added to the curriculum last fall and after registrations seven would-be operators changed their schedule to include this class. Mr. Buford Williams instructed them in writing computer programs and solving business and mathematical problems. Applied math also used the computers for drill and supplementary activities. Two years of each math and science are required to graduate. Students in biology were required to disect a fish and identify the organs. Students in advanced biology took a trip to the locker plant to observe the disection and anatomy of domestic animals. Electronic students learned how to assemble a radio and the morse code. Physics class worked with a slinky to watch wave patterns and later furthered their studies by learning sound and light waves. Many of the special students were mainstreamed into the regular classrooms.

With 15 returning lettermen and the experienced gained by many practices against the District Champs, it seemed the seasoning was right. As the season progressed, the allconference teams appeared to have just a little more muscle and speed. Injuries found their way into the football squad; Justin Evertson, senior quarterback, suffered a broken bone in his throwing hand, but was back in the lineup for the final game. Billy Hinton, senior offensive end and defensive back, received bruises to his kidney area during the Homecoming game; and senior lineman, Scott Sowerwine was out for three games due to a knee injury. Paul Richter, junior tackle, relieved him and was inturn benched with a knee injury, which gave Scott the opportunity to regain his starting position. In individual scoring, senior fullback Rob Brown was the leader with 36 points. Behind him were senior halfbacks Shawn Buresh and Gregg Robbins with 18 points each. Brad Hoffman, a junior half back had 12 points and Stuart Quador, senior end, had 12 points off of a pair of touchdown catches. Kevin Kramer, senior kicker, was next in line with 11 points. Several players scored 6 points each; Justin Evertson, Bill Hinton, Val Regier, Jeff Schneider and Tim Wangler. 2 points were scored by Jim Correll and Kevin Baker had one point. Rob Brown and Jim Gilmore were selected to the All-Western Conference Football Teams. Kevin Spicer, Scott Sowerwine, and Roger Buesher were honorable mention. Scottsbluff Star-Herald selected Jim Gilmore, first offense at a guard position. Scott Sowerwine was named to the second team defense as a tackle. As the season ended, Mr. Staehr's comment was, I am happy with the year and the way the kids played. I know I will always remember this team as better than a 3-6 team. I'm not a bit disappointed.” Justin Evertson runs down the field searching for an open player to pass to. In hopes of outsmarting the Alliance gridder. Stuart Quador makes a quick move to the side. Varsity Football 57 Gridders Boast Success A victory over arch rivals, the Sidney Red Raiders, opened the season for the reserve football team. Bryan Hoffman scored on a wing heavy left-quick pitch from ten yards out in the second period to cap a 50-yard drive and Kimball's only score. The reserve team evened up their record at 1-1 with a loss to Gering at Longhorn Stadium. Neither team was able to cross the other's goal until only two minutes remained in the game, when the visiting Bulldogs scored. Home for the third game in a row, the reserves were able to pull things back together and outman the Alliance Bulldogs. The Alliance contest was played in strong, cold winds as a pre- dicted cold front arrived right at kickoff. Both scores for Kimball were made in the first quarter. Joe White got a touchdown from 21 yards out and with only 1:13 left in the opening quarter Jeff Schneider fired a perfect aerial to Robert Cortney who raced into the end zone on a 50 yard scoring play. Coach Frank Calise commented, “Reserve ball is a learning experience and we played all 39 of our kids but it is nice when you can win too. Coach Calise had special praise for the play of sophomore defensive tackle Darrell Howitt, who was charted for ten solo tackles and several assists. On the road at Mitchell, the reserves fell to a loss with the only scores being by Joe White. An impressive 22-0 victory over Torrington closed the season. The first touchdown came in the opening period when Joe White took a pitch left for a 17 yard score and Brad Hoffman ran the conversion. In the second quarter. Tad Bunner connected with Dalan Haase on an 18 yard pass play and Bryan Hoffman ran the conversion. The last score came in the fourth period when Tad Bunner made a one yard quarterback sneak. The final win gave the reserves a winning season of 3-2 and was even more important as the shutout victory came over a team that had beaten Mitchell, a club that had beat Kimball 26-14.

V Jt Frosh Take Over Opening the season with a home game against Alliance, the frosh showed their ability to work together successfully. These gridders played next at Mitchell. Jason Murnahan racked up 101 of the 274 offensive ayrds. This win gave the young Horns their second consecutive win. Home against Brush, the frosh jumped to an 8-0 halftime lead, but had a second half letdown. Kimball was hampered with the loss of Jeff Fiehtner and Jason Murnahan, both strong running backs for Coach Bunner. On the road again, this small team was losing to the Trailblaz- ers, as Torrington was ahead 12-0 in the third period. The two Longhorn fourth-quarter touchdowns came with a 38 and a 37 yard run by Brad Reader and Dave Evertson. Kimball freshmen closed out a successful season with a 20-0 victory over the visiting Sidney frosh. Coach Bunner commented, “I felt this bunch of kids played quite well all year, especially considering the fact that we were working with 10 to 12 players most of the time and the only scrimmage we got was when we would work against some of the sophomores.

Their record of 7-9 belies the willpower and motivation of the Lady Longhorns. The Lady Spikers gave their fans something to be proud of when they overcame some top ranked teams. Coming home with the third place trophy from the elite Ogallala tournament and Ellen Johnson being voted Outstanding Spik-er were highlights of the season. Coach Nancy Bunner felt other outstanding performances included winning over Brush, Colorado's Triple A State Champ, in two sets—15 11 and 15 7; and beating third state ranked Chadron also in two sets—15 11 and 15 5. At the close of the 82” volleyball season, Debbie Felton was selected to the All Western Volleyball Team. Ellen Johnson and Pam Gorsuch were selected for Honorable Mentions.

Coach Chuck Bunner predicted early in the season that the team had potential to be a good team with hard work. Despite the win-loss record of 9-8, the season ended losing seven of the eight games lost by a total of only 17 points. The 88 points scored in the Chadron game was just two points shy of the school mark. The Horns lost a pair of 1-point thrillers against the District Champs, the Mitchell Tigers and another against the Sidney Red Raiders. With seven seconds remaining on the scoreboard and a score of 53-55, the Horns were desperately trying to call time out. Val Regier ended up with the ball and shot a 25-footer that went in causing the Kimball fans to think the game was in overtime. But officials indicated that another Kimball player had gotten their attention prior to the basket and the shot would not count. They ruled time had been called before the shot. With one second now remaining, Kimball coaches argued for more time. Tournament officials determined the rule would stand. The Horns went in for one final shot. Jeff Schneider got the ball but it skipped across the rim and the season came to the end for the Longhorns. The team will have to replace three senior starters, all-Conference winner Stuart Quador, Rob Brown and Scott Sowerwine. Roger Buescher and Val Reiger are other senior team members who will be lost. A pair of junior starters, who gained honorable all-Western Conference, along with Brown and Sowerwine, are Jeff Schneider and Robert Cortney. Robert Kath and Brad Hoffman will be returners also. The team averaged 61.2 points a game. They shot 43.8% from the field and 61% from the line. Mr Bunner's ending comment was, This year's team was a very good hardworking group that didn't give up. Scolt Sowerwine, all-Western Conference honorable winner, scored 11 points for the Longhorns against the Ogallala Indians.

Coach Pat Cordell. Building Season for Teams Reserve and freshman basketball teams coached by Mr. Pat Cordell showed great progress and improvement throughout the season. Reserves pulled away with an 8-8 record with Brad Hoffman as leading scorer With the reserve team, we tried to teach and improve the basic fundamentals to prepare them for the step from reserves to varsity, remarked Coach Cordell. An exciting highlight in the season was against the Ogallala Indians. Kimball jumped out front early holding a 12-6 first quarter lead Ogallala came back to close in the score to 23-22 with Kimball still leading at halftime. The Indians scored 16 points as opposed to Kimball's 13 to head into the final quarter with a 38-36 lead. The horns then poured on the hustle and scored 19 points in the last 8 minutes to secure the 55-51 victory. Despite their 2-9 record, the freshman team had a building season. On the freshman level you try to teach the fundamentals. If you can win and be successful then that is just icing on the cake, commented Coach Cordell. We certainly don't lack for desire. We are just a bunch of young and inexperienced players as you would expect from freshman, he went on to say. The freshman team got their first win ever, going back through 7th and 8th grade years against the frosh Alliance bulldogs with a score of 39-27. Another exciting game was against Sidney, when the horns were led into overtime to defeat the Raiders. Marty Shoeneman led the freshman scorers with 76 points. Heartbreaking 7-10 Record After five hard fought, give-it-all games, Kimball's varsity ladies had a 0-5 record. Each of these contests had been one of those knee-knocking, nail-biting contests, lost right at the end. Kimball s loss to the Scottsbluff bearcats, a thriller to the end, was the greatest heartbreaker. Kimball dominated most of the game, leading 26-16 at halftime. The horns held the lead until 2:09 remained in the game. Kimball regained the lead 43-42 on Annette Greenwood's 12-footer from the left baseline with 38 seconds left. With only 3 seconds showing on the clock Joni Schaub, a Scottsbluff bearcat, threw a 25-foot shot that never touched the iron as it ripped through the net giving Scottsbluff a 44-43 win. In these early games it appeared Kimball had the wins only to see them slip away at the end. Three of the five were lost with no more than a three-point margin. The Kimball lady Horns never faltered. Lead by first-year coach, Randy Lubash, they ended the season with a respectable 7-10 record Coach Lubash commented, Overall, even though the 7-10 record didn't indicate it, the season was productive, rewarding and enjoyable.

Leisa Johnson lead the team in points with 87 and Brenda Jensen was in a close second with 85 points.

Working together, the girls' freshman basketball team pulled out a winning season with a 6-1 record. Their eagerness and spirit was visible at practice and games. With only eight girls on the squad, each Lady Longhorn received a lot of game experience, which will add to their confidence. Highlights of the season include a thrilling win over the Torrington Trail-blazers. A close game which was safely secured by Janice Shepard's rebound with seven seconds left in the game. Also for the first time ever, the KCHS frosh played in a six-team tournament at Gering. After drawing a bye in the first round, the girls won the consolation match against Alliance (33-26) and met Gering in the Championship game. The girls went into this game with one loss and one win against Gering, but they prevailed in a 20-15 victory. 71 Richter Lone State Qualifier Dave Christians, new varsity wrestling coach, and his matmen opened the season with great expectations and a lot of team spirit. It proved to be a learning and growing season for the 12 varsity matmen. These wrestlers displayed more drive and strength than perhaps their 2-7 record pictures. As the season moved forward each of the grapplers showed considerable improvement. Highlights of the season included Paul Vigil, 126 pounds and Steve Richter, 185 pounds, both capturing third place honors at Western Conference. At the Sidney Tournament, Steve Richter placed third while teammate Jim Correll placed fourth. Lone state qualifier, Steve Richter, didn't have the best of luck in his draws, going against the eventual state champian from Plattsmouth. In his wrestle-backs, he lost to his St. Paul opponent, who went on to place fourth. As the season drew to an end. Coach Christian commented, All my wrestlers did pretty well. We showed considerable improvement from beginning to end. We lost some good wrestlers but many are coming back.

Forfeits dictated the outcome of most matches. Coach Dave Christian commented Everyone improved and by the end of the season we were not giving up as many pins or points as we did earlier. Coach Christian cited Dave Morberg, Tim Wangler, Meal Kemling and senior Jim Gilmore, who was a first year wrestler, for their constant dedication and team spirit.

Senior Gregg Robbins won the tournament and competed at the state meet as a lone representative of KCHS. Conrad Ojesjo, foreign exchange student from Sweden, was a welcome addition to the team. Although he had never played golf before he did very well, and he improved his score by more than twenty strokes.

Robert Cortney ran second in the 800—a first time attempt in this event. Schneider wound up third in the high jump and also ran third in the 300 intermediates. Next was the Gering Invitational where the Horns scored only six points in the strong 11 team boy's division. At the Gering Relays, the boy's high jump team totalled their best jumps to a figure of 18' 6 , erasing the old mark of 18' 2 set last year by Sidney. Jeff Schneider had an all time best of 6' 6 to better his own school record by four inches. Justin Evertson was probably the most pleasant surprise of the day in Bayard as he started out at 11' 0 and went without missing until his attempt at 13' 6 . His winning vault of 13' 0 beat out some of the state's best. Coach George Haun remarked, “Justin is an example of a young man, who without a lot of success until his senior year, is now seeing the results—showing what hard work and dedication can do to a track athlete. This dedication paid off not only for Justin, but also for Jeff Schneider as they qualified for state—Justin in the pole vault and Jeff in the high jump and hurdles.

Majorettes Karen DeFreece and Lisa Buddecke signaled the halftime show to begin. Each marching band member will remember the annual Farmer's Day Parade, and the football halftime performances. Early morning practices on the football field spawned perfection at the Friday evening games. With the close of football season the musicians also changed their uniforms and took to the concert rooms preparing for their AFS Benefit Concert given in February to help support the American Field Service program. Mr. McNees, KCHS band director, arranged a Tri-City band clinic which was held in Kimball and included members from both the Sidney and Gering concert bands.

Z CHEERLEADERS Z Pepsters Travel 7500 Miles to Support Teams After long hours of learning cheers, practicing routines, and building pyramids, the cheerleaders found themselves ironing skirts, sewing on emblems and planning pep rallies. These were all part of the job, along with hosting the Homecoming Dance. Being a cheerleader was not all glamour and glory. There were long hours of practice—trying to perfect each stunt, freezing cold bus rides with homework to be done in the dark, and sore throats with scratchy voices. Along with perform- ing 2 pyramids, 14 partner stunts, 17 sink it stunts, 35 cheers, 47 pom-pom routines, and 204 chants, the cheerleaders made yard signs for the varsity football and volleyball players during Homecoming week. The cheerleaders also spent many hours on the road, traveling over 7500 miles to support the various teams. All in all, the cheerleaders, spread excitement and team spirit, and were seen by more people in more places than any other organization representing the school.

For the second year, Mrs. Staehr, KCHS chorus director, chose a select choir. In November the chorus, in conjunction with the junior high school, gave their first concert featuring a variety of Broadway hits. The Christmas season gave the chorus a chance to get into the spirit of things and go caroling. A spring concert, which was held in April, was also given. The year ended with the ever-popular Expressions Concert. Eight members of the chorus were selected to participate in the All-State chorus. These members were Gale Mueller, Jennifer Masada, Kirk Evertson, Scott Schadegg, Mike Maginnis, Val Regier, Matt Heaton, and J.R. Muske.

Chorus 91 SHOW CHOIR Swing Choir Ranked 1 A hush hung over the young musicians as they waited for the judges to announce the best Class B swing choir at the High Plains Chorus and Stage Band Festival in Chadron. Competition was stiff but they knew they had a good chance to earn that coveted award. Many hours of singing and choreography practices gave them the confidence and skill they needed to win. Then it was announced Kimball's Crimson and Cream was rated number 1 out of the 12 groups competing. Students agreed that they enjoyed performing and the many long hours of practice paid off. They felt that the experience of working in a group was invaluable. A group of Crimson and Cream members come in for some extra help from Mrs. Cynthe Staehr.

At halftime two students dressed as the Lone Ranger and Tonto raced around the floor accompanied by the pep band blaring the William Tell Overture. Being a member of the select group proved to be fun and worthwhile. This 53-member group played at most home basketball games and even followed the teams to their district bouts. Their toe-tapping music raised enthusiasm at all the pep rallies. The pep band, chosen for their outstanding performances at the district tournaments, was selected to rally the Scottsbluff Cougers at Nebraska Western Junior College in their first fight for Regional Championship. Two new instruments were added to the ensemble this year; an electric piano played by Carlene Bateman, Richa McGee or Leisa Johnson and Ronnie Seeman's electric guitar. According to several spectators, the halftime performances of the pep band were one of the highlights of the basketball games. Hard work paid off for these musicians.

I can only find one white glove, was heard from one band member; while another freshman member was heard to say, I hope I remember my place on the field during halftime. The game finally arrived whether everyone was ready or not. The big night everyone had waited for. Kimball suffered throughout the game with what the local paper called fumbleitis. The Bayard Tigers had only two seniors on their squad and were starting freshmen and sophomores in their lineup. But they jumped out in front with the first touchdown coming in the first three minutes of the game. It was a Kimball fumble that set up the Tiger score. Kimball came back with a beautiful drive moving the ball 72 yards in 14 plays. Brad Hoffman took a pitch left and got a crushing block from fullback Rob Brown to let him go in standing up. The clock showed 3:26 left in the first period after this first touchdown. The Horns struck again a few plays later when Rob Brown picked off a Bayard aerial and returned it for a 27-yard touchdown running over would be tacklers that got in his way. The Big Red got one more chance before halftime. The grand stands thundered the crowd's approval when with only four seconds left in the first half, junior quarterback Tad Bunner fired a long pass to Stuart Quador and he carried it the final four yards to make the halftime score 18-6. Kimball received the second half kick off with Brad Hoffman getting a thirteen yard return. It took the Horns 11 plays to cover the 63 yards with Rob Brown going the final yard to make a touchdown. Coach Keith Staehr had his young kids taking over at this point; they played almost half the game. Sophomore Rick Wangler got the final Kimball score on a 38 yard burst. Despite the twelve fumbles, they were able to pick up an easy 32-6 win over the young Class C Bayard team that was simply out manned. Coach Keith Staehr commented It was nice to be able to give our young kids a chance to play some varsity ball. After a quick change students were off to the dance, which was sponsored by the Student Council and the cheerleaders. Royalty, who had been crowned during the halftime performance, were honored at the Homecoming Dance. Laurel Richter heaves a miniature football into the crowd, an annual Homecoming event.

Va a Local and World PIK Program Affects Local Farmers The payment in kind or PIK program was a controversial issue in this area and certainly affected the local residence. Farmers who signed up to participate in the acreage reduction programs announced prior to PIK agreed to reduce the plantings of their base acreage by at least 20 percent. With PIK, farmers agreed to reduce plantings by an additional 10 percent to 30 percent of their base and had the option to offer a bid to take their entire base out of production. A total of 3,957 acres or 40% of the base acres of corn and about 82,338 or 42% of the base acres of wheat will be idled in Kimball County. Participation of Kimball County farmers in the PIK and acreage reduction programs was about par for the course with the rest of the state. The U.S. Agriculture Department reported that American farmers plan to idle 82 million acres of cropland under the PIK program. Not only will the PIK program affect crop acreage but farmers are also wondering what effects it will have on problems with insects such as rootworms, European corn borers, and with weevils. Only time will tell what the results of PIK will be. 118 News Edith Haines, Kimball's first woman mayor discusses various issues with students Robert Kath and Brad Peterson Gene Purdy, vice-president for the FFA this year, reads up on the PIK program and how reductions will affect his crop acreage.
