Some students chose to be involved in athletics which promoted friendship, sportsmanship and loyalty.

A little more than forty years ago minimum wage-at its inception - was only 25 cents an hour, compared to $3.35 at the present time According to the August issue of U S News World Report if the mimumum wage had kept up with inflation it would now have to be $4.14 an hour. To answer some questions about the employment practices of the Kimball High School students, the yearbook staff conducted a survey. Slightly under half of the student body was employed - only 4 percent full time The average hourly wage of these employed students was $3.33. Nearly half of them reached minimum wage. Several interesting points were brought about by this survey. More than half the students felt it was difficult to find a job and felt they would be willing to work for less than minimum wage. Seventy-six percent gave reasons for working as a means to obtain spending money. Less than half said they really enjoyed their work. According to Alyson Evelyn, The responsibility you learn at a job is great, but it has its drawbacks, mainly it cuts back on the participation in extracurricular school activities.

Combining juggling, unicycling, music and a few laughs to provide the students and faculty with a kaleidoscope hour of fun. Later in the year the student body was treated to an enjoyable hour by the Kearney State jazz ensemble and their trip down memory lane and a tour through the evolution of jazz.

According to Dirtwheels magazine, around 200,000 ATV's have been sold throughout the United States. Local dealers indicate that mostly three-wheelers have been sold in Kimball. )on Heidemann, who has owned a three-wheeler for 3 years, says, You can't just hop on one and go. You should start off easy and work your way up! With all the new innovations on three-wheelers and odysseys it's making them rather expensive. Three-wheelers usually run around one to two-thousand dollars Odysseys are quite a bit more expensive. They run between sixteen hundred to over eight thousand dollars. One of the newer three-wheelers, the Yamaha YTM225DX Special, has an air-cooled, four-stroke engine with a 5-speed transmission. These three-wheelers are made in lapan. The newer odysseys are the Phantom 1, 2, or 3. They are built to withstand ruggedness, with three shocks on each side on the back and one on each side in the front. The first Three-wheeled World Series took place in San Diego's Indoor Sports Arena this year. Spectator comfort and convenience are the main motivation behind this new concept. The spectators got a birds-eye view of the entire spectacle while seated in comfortable seats. Riding an ATV can be versatile — using it for work, or just plain fun. Either way they can bring spine tingling excitement into your sparetime and add to your good life. -£ .

Students enhanced their wardrobes by throwing out the old blue jeans and t-shirts and switching to a more colorful and exciting taste in clothing. Instead of the drab look in the halls the colors became brighter as mint green, pink, lavender, grey and black took over in the choice of color The styles of clothing seemed to change more than ever as students wore polo shirts, argyle sweaters, parachute pants, elf boots and flat shoes.

Alliance with a student body of approximately 632 and Cering with a student body of approximately 658 were formidable opponents but the Horns managed several wins over these rivals.

The scoreboard showed the Horns leading 21-20 with only one minute remaining in the game. Cering had just scored a touchdown and elected to go for the two point conversion which was shut down by the Longhorn defensive line, leaving the Horns with a 21-20 conference victory. Lack of mental preparation took its tool on the Horns when they traveled to Alliance only to face a fired up Bulldog team and return home with their first loss of the season The gridders most disappointing game of the season was undoubtedly against the undefeated Mitchell Tigers who turned the Longhorns homecoming night into a homecoming nightmare racking up a 37-20 victory. Plagued by injuries and illness throughout the season, not one game was played when the team was at full strength. The Horns, assured of a winning season when they upset Bayard 22-12, closed the season with a 5-4 record Three of their losses were to state playoff teams Sidney, Chadron and Mitchell.

A shut-out against the Sidney Raiders on their field was the opening game for the reserves. The Horn offense had a sluggish first half with no score by either team. Early in the third quarter, Kimball began to get fired up with a 51-yard touchdown by )eff Fiehtner. With this important win behind them, Kimball went on to beat Cering 12-6, in their toughest game of the season. One by one, they defeated Boast 5-0 Alliance, Mitchell, and Torrington with their strong defense and powerful offense. Mr Calise predicted, If these young men would work hard during ”, . . an excellent varsity football team next year!” the other sports seasons and over the summer, Kimball could have an excellent varsity football team next year!

After defeating the Mitchell Spikers in District action the Lady Horns traveled to Scottsbluff to face the Chadron Cardinals Even though Coach Bunner felt the team had given 100 percent and were ready for action Cardinals downed them in three sets.

Volleyball 41 Basketball Southard Breaks Record Varsity cagers opened their season on the road with a loss to Cering but returned home the following night to defeat Mitchell on the home court. This victory was surprising considering Kimball played without two of its regulars and Mitchell was picked to head up the preseason polls for the Western Conference We showed some signs of improvement. We worked the ball better and cut down on turnovers, were Coach Chuck Bunner's comments after the Horn victory over Morrill. The Longhorns avenged an earlier loss to Ogallala 66-63, but were abolished by Wheatland to the tune of 42-91. Bayard eked out a 60 63 victory over Kimball in the final two seconds of the game to put the Horns below .500 for the first time since the opening game The Horns pulled themselves to the .500 mark for the last time with a victory over Cordon in the fi- nal two seconds. After losing to both Mitchell and Sidney, Kimball headed into the District Tourney with a 7-9 record ”We worked the ball better and cut down on turnovers.” It looked like Kimball had won the first round of districts against Alliance when Brad Hoffman came up with a steal and drove to the bucket for a lay-up with 5 seconds left to put Kimball ahead 41-40 However, a controversial charging call erased the basket Right away Kimball fouled Alliance, for a one-and-one making the first and missing the second Alliance came out victorious with a score of 41-39 which left Kimball with a 7-10 scar. One of the highlights of the season was junior Doug Southard's 30 for 30 straight free throws to demolish the old record of 18 set by Todd Hendrickson in the 1974-75 season.

With less than a minute left in the game, Kimball was trailing by 1 point. Coach Pat Cordell dished out praise for the play of his junior varsity team after a 49-46 win over Sidney. We played our best game of the year,” Cordell said. The game, one of those nip and tuckers from start to finish, was tied at 12 at the end of the first period, and Kimball was ahead 23-22 at halftime. The Longhorns were still in front 36-30 after three quarters. The junior varsity team burst to an early lead and then held on the eke out a slim 50-48 win over Ogallala on the home court.

Future Farmers, Future Business Leaders, Future Homemakers, drama club. National Honor Society, and Student Council all provide growth opportunities Special interest groups might include Crimson and Cream, pep band, newspaper staff, yearbook staff, and speech.

In 1959, the high school band claimed superior rating at the AK-SAR-BEN Rodeo in Omaha Band students in 1960 traveled 4,500 miles to represent Nebraska in the Orange Bowl. They again took to the road in 1962 — destination the Indianapolis 500. In 1974 and 1980 the band received first place in their division at the Calgary Stampede in Calgary, Canada. In 1980 they also received the Overall International Band and White Hatter' awards. At Colorado State Band Day in 1978, Kimball was the Outstanding Band Mr. McNees has touched many lives with his music abilities and his philosophy that music is a beneficial agent for making life more satisfactory. Do you think that junk dealer knew that his $10 cornet would produce such a priceless and dedicated band director? Jackson, Scott Struempler. Jon Stneman, Fourth Row-Kim Schneider, Tammy Harris.

The students found out how much work goes into putting on a musical. There were sets to be built, props to be found, costumes to be ordered, songs to be learned, and lines to be memorized. The group could be found in the auditorium on weeknights as late as ten o'clock working toward perfection for a successful production. Mrs Cynthe Staehr, the choir director, put in many hours of hard work with the group correcting their mistakes, bringing out their talents, and praising their efforts in order to prepare them for their two night performances. The chorus also gave a Christmas concert which involved the junior High School. Director Cynthe Staehr gives Marty Shoeneman a smile of encouragement before the curtain opens.

The first Western Conference Speech Meet was held at Cering on December 10. Each contestant participated in two rounds with one judge in each round and final contestants participated in a third round with two judges making critiques. On january 31 the speech coach, Mrs. jane Morehouse, held a local contest to determine those students who would be participating in districts held on March 13 at Nebraska Western College. Kerri Buckle, senior, qualified for the state speech contest to be held in Lincoln March 31. The top two performers in each division of class B speech competition advanced to state and Kerri had a perfect score of 50 in oral interpretation of poetry Members of the rifle club shot regularly with their sponsor, Mr. Buford Williams, each Tuesday evening from the time school started until late November. The students practiced to increase their skill with a .22 calibur rifle. With increased skill the students earned either a marksmanship or sharpshooter award. To earn a marksmanship award you have to shoot ten scores totalling over 30 points. In order to earn a sharpshooter award you must score 40 or better ten times Speech 85 PEOPLE School enrollment in Kimball County High has decreased over 45 percent in the past nine years from 434 students in 1974 to 242 in 1983. In reviewing the number of elementary enrollment, the decline in enrollment has leveled off and we will maintain for a few years. Sports activities suffer with declining enrollment because coaches have fewer participants to choose from Even though KCHS is rated a class B school, sports participants competed with towns like Cering who had 494 in the ninth, tenth, and eleventh grades while Kimball had 184 students. To determine what class your school will be officials take the first 32 schools with the most students and group them as Class A The next 64 are class B. Kimball is number 47 out of the 64 class B schools The number of classes offered more than one time decreases simultaneously with an enrollment drop, making it difficult to get the class students want More trade offs must be made. On the brighter side, classes tend to be smaller and more personal when the enrollment is smaller.

V Both of these teachers developed an in- Vterest in trains very early kin life. Mr. McCombs' x wfather worked as a . C5, fireman for the TV railroad and he attributes his X. interest in trains partially to this. Mr. Calise received a train set as a gift when he was about nine and has continued his interests for more than thirty years. Mr. McCombs meets with other model train collectors in Scottsbluff every month at the North Platte Valley Railroad Club. He values his collection at approximately $1,000.

Not hardly, it's just Keith Staehr practicing his archery skills. His interesting and somewhat unique hobby started 23 years ago when he was a sophomore in high school. Coach Staehr's interest in this hobby was generated by his older brothers who hunted with bows. Watching his brothers and reading sports magazines have helped develop his hobby into a skill which he uses for hunting turkey as well as deer. This win- ter he bagged his first deer Turkey hunting is his favorite because of the high skill level required He said that out of every one hundred people who get permits to hunt turkey with a bow, only four get a turkey Besides archery, Mr. Staehr also enjoys rifle hunting and fishing. Much pride is taken in these skills which have taken him many years to develop Mr Staehr teaches boys' PE I and II, weight training and is the varsity football coach Coach Staehr demonstrates his archery technique to a P E class His technique has taken him years to develop 90 Academics Darrell Howitt and )im Correll put a little heat on the subject as they turn a rod of glass into a work of art Some of their projects in glassblowing include elephants, bird baths, fish and just about anything they can imagine Mr. Meyer points out the details of a photograph to his photography class Shelly Stundon combines talent with patience to make her drawing of a horse look as realistic as possible during her art class Photography students Mary Hall and Derta Henrichs carefully inspect the film to get the best picture possible Academics 91 Second year foreign language teacher. loAnn Menard, assists |im Westby with his homework assignment Here is the Liulaka River ' states history teacher.

Mr. Steve Gilliland, English instructor, has a unique way to vacation. For the past ten summers, he has been traveling around the country on his Honda Goldwing GL 1000 motorcycle. He has been everywhere from Miami, Florida to Seattle, Washington; from British Columbia to Houston, Texas; and some places between, including Yellowstone National Park and the Grand Canyon Each of his trips lasts approximately two weeks. Encountering rain and snow doesn't bother him, but he said that watching out for automobile drivers is his greatest concern. Wearing a helmet carried him safely through an accident in Colorado Springs last summer The idea to travel came to him when he was driving to school in Dix, Nebraska and passed a motorcyclist, the same day, in Sidney, he purchased his first motorcycle, a Honda 350. He has been traveling on his motorcycle every summer since. Mr. Gilliland commented, It's a great way to see the country It's far out!

Flash paper is used by magicians and Meyer has entertained cub scouts with his magic Science Can be Fun, Interesting Is glassblowing, photography or chemistry one of your interests? If so, you would turn to Mr. Don Meyer for instruction. Kimball is one of two schools in the country offering glassblowing in its curriculum. The second is offered by a former student of Meyer. Don and Carol Meyer work together on many mutual hobbies and vocations. Mr. Meyer enrolled in a scientific glassblowing course in 1965 at the University of Colorado and has since made many decorative items. He spent so much time at it that in order to spend some time with him I decided to learn how to blow glass, commented his wife. In addition to blowing glass, the Meyers are a husband wife team in their photography business. Their interest in photography was sparked by a desire to take better pictures of their children. They now operate this business from their home, which according to Mrs. Meyer keeps them busier than they really want to be most of the time. Many hours and much money has oeen invested in the Meyer's yard —a hobby which augments their photography business. Many of their pictures use the flowers and greenc'y as a background. Teaching is another interest this team shares. Carol is a former teacher and Don is presently teaching in Kimball. Throughout Mr. Meyer's 21 years of teaching science here he has housed various living creatures. Until a year ago it was not uncommon to spy Julius Squeezer, a 9-foot boa constrictor, roaming the halls. Pierre, a squirrel monkey was another resident in room E-7. After Mickey, the alligator, grew to four feet, Meyers gave him to the Denver Zoo. Meyers has hosted all kinds of lizards including a four-foot chameleon. Most students at KCHS will agree that science is a little more interesting with Don Meyer in the driver's seat. Mr. Chuck Bunner, biology teacher, shows Marty Shoeneman a dissected frog. Academics 95 . New Policy New Counselor Begin Year Another school year began . old policies were reconsidered and added to as the school board saw fit. The usual discussions were of budget problems, hiring school personnel, development of policies, and just the daily operation of the school. A newly-established policy stated that a student, in order to participate in a extracurricular activity, must be passing 75 percent of their classes. They can only be failing one class and also must meet the requirements set down by the Nebraska School Activities Association. Eligibility was checked each four and one-half weeks. Punishment included academic suspension for a period of 14 calendar days, or until academic requirements are met, whichever was greater. Principal Williams said I feel the policy has encouraged the students to work harder to better their grades so that they can remain eligible for extracurricular activities. All in all the school year got off to a smooth start without many protests, changes, or new rules and regulations. Mrs. Pat Quillen, a new guidance counselor, gave students advice with their problems and helped them in planning their careers and futures. She administered tests such as the SRA achievement and the ACT-SAT college board exams.

Thanks for letting me be a part of your life. Mueller, a retired farmer rancher, who has been driving the big red activities bus for the past three years, took a special interest in each of the boys and girls who rode on his bus. He took students to the Denver Stock Show, to athletic activities, on field trips, and many other kinds of contests. In a quote from Chris Carmichael, she said, I think, he's terrific! He's a very caring guy that's always showing love to people and doing nice things. He's always kind to everyone and all of us really love him. Dale Hendrickson, athletic director, described Mueller as a valuable person and one that would be difficult to replace. He said, I'm glad we have him instead of someone else!

Marie Beranek, and Margie Vavra Special Staff 99 Surviving but not thriving” was a phrase that was used to describe America's high schools by the Carnegie Foundation for Advancement of Teaching. A number of studies on high school education depicted schools as unsuccessful in many cases. Among the major proposals of the Carnegie Foundation report, a three year study, were more stress on English, including a required speech class and more required subjects including foreign language, science, mathematics, history and civics. Improving teaching conditions and raising teachers' pay were proposed to encourage better teachers. In keeping with national school reform, Nebraska's Governor Robert Kerrey suggested that Are Schools Thriving? Nebraskans place academic excellence ahead of sports. Principal ferry Williams revised the eligibility policy in regard to participation in extracurricular activities. The newly revised policy stated that anyone getting two or more downslips could not be in extracurricular activities until grades in those classes were passing Students at Kimball have something to be proud of. According to Principal Williams the student body ranked twenty-two percent higher in math and twenty percent higher in science than the national average on the SRA achievement tests. The academic report cards on the nation's schools were mixed but most reports contended that students were surviving but not thriving.

Being a freshman meant being lost the first day of school, being criticized by upperclassmen, but most of all being a freshman meant changing from a shorthorn to a LONGHORN. Classes were another major change for frosh. They had to choose which classes to take, keeping in mind their requirements for graduation. Many freshmen, after adjusting, agreed that high school was a very important part of the good life.

Susan Greenlee commented, It's nice being able to drive because I don't have to be chauffered around by my parents anymore. I have a lot more freedom! The sophomore class sponsored the annual TWIRP dance again this year. The dance took place on Saturday, March 17, St Patrick's Day The theme was Searching for a Pot of Gold, and the colors were green, silver, and black The music was provided by the KMOR Disco.

In fact, according to junior class sponsor, Buford Williams, they have been pushing the sweets for the past 21 years Buford Williams, too, is a tradition with the juniors Twenty-one years ago Buford took charge and has been coercing juniors at the concession stand. According to Williams, this year's junior class is one of the best he has worked with and will host one of the best Proms this year. During the junior year students are encouraged to begin thinking about life after KCHS. SAT and ACT college entrance exams are offered to those that plan to attend college Juniors pass through the year in preparation for their final year Without the struggles of preparing a Prom how could they appreciate the Prom offered to them?
