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. Staff Provides Good Environment A Mrs Marge Carroll shows Laurel Richter the correct procedure for filling out the College Entrance Exams. Special Staff 17

New Faculty Members Create New Challenges for Students Reluctant but anxious students were greeted August 23 by at least four new faces—faces not of new students but rather new teachers. 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.
