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
