Over two decades of being first in command came to a close with this school year. Dr. Max Hensley accepted the job as superintendent of schools years ago after serving as superintendent in Rushville public school. Hensley said the reason for selecting Kimball was because it was a growing system. He also said he planned at that time to stay for only about four years, but he never found any reason to leave. Hensley commented It was the hardest decision I have had to make because of the fear of losing contact with young people.” Many changes have taken place while Hensley headed up the school system. Among them was the building of a new high school, and the decrease in student population from around 500 to just slightly over 200. Nine year board member Bill Dicker-son commented. Max has been the unifying force within our school system and will be a hard man to replace. Golf, fishing, skiing, glassblowing and mechanics are all hobbies of Hensley. When asked what his plans included he said that he was going to travel, build himself a playhouse (some call it a workshop) for all hobbies, and spend more time on them. He added, I just want to keep busy and do whatever I darn well please. Hensley 3 Just the Right Ticket Surprisel Roo makes a surprise visit to Mr. Harry McNees at the annual spring band concert.

Kimball, Nebraska, our home town, was recently exposed to the world on NBC’s news program on television and in a seven-page article in HARPERS magazine. For more than twenty years Kimball has presented itself to the world as Missle Center--USA, because it is the largest Minutemen III missile installation in the United States. The western entrance of the town reads. WELCOME TO KIMBALL-OIL-WHEAT -CATTLE-MISSILES.” A 100-foot decommissioned Titan I missile was erected in Gotte Park, a recreation area within theei,y limits. In 1983 the Reagan administration announced plans to place one hundred MX missiles in the Kimball area. Mayor Edith Haines, wrote the Air Force that the citizens, believe they will be expendable if there were a need to fire them.” Citizen groups in Cheyenne. Sidney and surrounding areas have opposed the deployment of these missiles, while most Kimballites have learned to live and even welcome them.

For an additional $3 added to the already $20 bill, families had the luxury of this added entertainment. Only $15.99 for a pair of 501 shrink to fit blues was a ticket to fashion for boys and girls both. According to Lisa Ring they look great and could be seen anywhere. After a hard week of studying, practicing, and getting up to make it to school on time, everyone is ready for a weekend of cruising and going to games and dances. Organizations such as PRIDE and CPA sponsored numerous dances for students on weekends. Words can't describe some of the weekends; they had to be lived, and students lived them to the fullest. The experience of student life, and the many diversions that made life interesting were just the right tickets for a super year. Popular SOI bluet come in an assortment of style such as checks, pin stripes, black, and regular denim. They can be bought in most stores and need to be Mashed approximately three time before they 're worn.

To pay for the investment Mike and Jon charged $150. where similar groups charged as much as $250. This reduction in price allowed dances more frequently and still provided the needed income for the enterprise. According to Bemis the -equipment served two purposes.

Whether it's Lisa Buddecke swishing” the basketball for two points. Kent Spicer cracking” the football pads during a tackle, or Missy McCombs thumping her way around the track for a first place ribbon, these sounds are clear. The high point of any season for a team or an individual is receiving a varsity uniform for the first time, lettering, and sometimes going to state competition. Coaches generally agree that practice is just the right ticket to a successful year. r In Nebraska the would-be hunter found the fall season full of opportunity. Duck season opened October 21. while pheasant season opened November 5. followed by deer and antelope seasons which opened November 15. A license to hunt deer or antelope in the state of Nebraska cost $20. For duck and pheasant a license cost $22. while for fishing, a permit cost $7.50. A somewhat cheaper way to do both hunting and fishing was to buy a combined license for $17.50. A habitat stamp cost $7.50 for each one purchased. A limited number of licenses to Fall Pastimes hunt elk or deer were issued, and names were selected randomly from those that applied to receive a license to hunt elk or moose. The would-be hunter had to buy his license early to hunt deer and antelope because licenses were sold on a first-come first-serve basis for certain designated areas. Flowever, permits to fish were easily obtained in most sporting goods stores, banks, and state parks. Oliver Reserve, located eight miles west of Kimball, provided a haven for fishermen. The lake was stocked with different varieties of fish, from bluegill to catfish. What- ever sportsmen preferred, hunting or fishing both provided fun and entertainment. Kenny Greenwood summarized the hunting and fishing pastimes by saying. The population of pheasants the last couple of years was far below what Western Nebraska’s habitat has sustained in the past. The rest of Western Nebraska's wildlife has been at a normal level. In the past year fishing at Oliver Reserve was more productive than in many years. Bass, trout, crappie. and bluegill were usually the fish most often caught.” ¥ T i { Tim Wangler poses with his dog as they prepare to hunt for pheasant and quail. The season opened in October.

First year Coach Mike Murphy's harriers became known among the students as Murphy's Milers. According to Erica Beaver. Coach Murphy pushed all the runners to their full potential-many times running with the team himself. Rookie freshman. Angie Lippold captured the Class B District title and topped off the season by claiming 4th place in state competition. Lippold and teammate. Missy McCombs, were named to 34 Cros ountr the All-Conference Girls' Cross Country Honor Team. McCombs, returning senior, who placed in the top ten runners throughout the season commented, Coach Murphy displayed enthusiasm and wanted us all to do well. We ran harder this year and I think he was a really good coach.” Mike Bemis, named to the All-Conference Boys’ Honor Team, summarized the season this way. It was a good year. Everyone showed good improvement and dedication. Bemis won his first varsity medal finishing eighth in Western Conference.

They were just fractions from being in the state playoffs. The three losses they had were by 7-0 scores to Gering and Alliance and 17-0 to Chadron. According to Tom Southard, sportswriter for Western Nebraska Observer. The Horns really got rolling at the end of the season and take away a few crucial fumbles and replay those losses toward the end of the year and Big Red might have been unbeaten or at least 8-1. Junior halfback. Jeff Fiehtner. led in rushing--moving the Horns 696 yards down the field. Bryan Hoffman followed closely behind with 505 yards, and Tim Wangler pushed through the line for 333 yards. Senior linebacker, Chris Gorsuch. led the defensive line with 85 tackles followed by Darrell Howitt and Brad Reader with 71 and 67. tackles, respectively. Foreign exchange student Steven Mackenzie led in fumble recoveries with 3. Longhorn gridders waited 19 years for a home field win over rival Sidney. Before it was over, the Horns had fashioned a 55-6 margin over the Red Raiders. According to Coach Staehr it was his most lopsided win in 14 years at the helm here, but he couldn't brag. He added that it wasn't good for us to win by that margin, nor was it good for the other kids to lose that badly. Kimball used 12 ball carriers and 4 quarterbacks in the rout which climaxed in the 55-6 win. In the nine games the Horns scored 183 points against their opponents with only 45 scored against them. Seniors Kent Spicer and Bob Hinton and junior Brad Reader were selected for All-Conference honors. Teammates Bryan Hoffman, Jeff Feihtner. Les Dunn, and Chris Gorsuch were named honorable mention.

In the season opener, the Horns trampled Sidney with 109 rushing yards. 70 passing yards, and scoring four touchdowns. A highlight of the game was Joe Chapin catching a 30-yard pass to set up the third Horn touchdown, and Shane Dickerson running it in for the final score. The Gering game was a disappointing loss as Kimball was leading in the final minute of the game with a score of 8 to 3 when Gering executed a short pass to score a touchdown and edged out Kimball in the final seven seconds. Coach Jerry Beguin said this about the Gering game. Our boys played three good quarters but in the fourth quarter they slowed down. The gridders shutout Mitchell on Tiger turf bringing their record to 2-2. The Horns walked away with an easy win over the Torrington Trail-blazers. Kimball racked up 200 rushing yards and 46 passing yards for a total of 246. their best push of the season. With only 15 freshmen reporting for practice coaches Pat Cordell and Dave Christian had their work cut out. The frosh gridders managed to shutout Alliance and Brush and finished their season at the .500 mark. Top rusher for the season was Craig Lockhorn who tallied up 532 yards in 64 carries. Frosh leading tackier was Darin Buescher with 37 followed closely by Tye Wynne. Ryan Vowers. leading receiver throughout the season, completes a 30-yard pass against the Gering Bulldogs.

She noted that they were hard workers, eager to learn, and a very enjoyable group. Cindy Barrett served well during most of the season showing her best statistics in the game against Sidney where she was leading server. Lori Buddecke was the leading spiker for the freshmen. Buddecke had this to say about the season. It was a new experience for us. but we handled it pretty well.” Pennie Maginnis, leading setter, felt they could have played better as a team, but all in all. they did well.

The season opener was an edge-of-the-seat thriller when the Ger-ing Bulldogs slipped by the Horns with a two-point lead in the final seconds. After the next four games the Horns racked up a record of 4-I. The battle with the Torrington Trailblazers was another one of these nail-biting contests. The outcome came down to the final seconds with only 14 seconds showing on the clock. Coach Bunner called a time-out and set up an offensive play. The play was to go to senior guard Doug Southard and he was supposed to shoot. Everyone else was to be ready to rebound in case he missed. The suspecting Trailblazers guarded Southard so the boys were unable to get the ball to him. With time running out the ball went to senior forward Dean Sterling who took a ten-foot shot at the baseline swishing it just as time ran out. Kimball won the game by one point. A double victory over the Sidney Red Raiders gave the team a lift as the Horns had not beaten Sidney twice in a season since 1979. Despite a losing record the varsity team proved they were competitive. losing 8 of the 10 losses by 10 or fewer points. Sophomore Ryan Vowers led the team in scoring with 233 total points--averaging 13.7 points per game. Following Vowers in scoring was Southard with 167 and Sterling with 157. Vowers also led the team in rebounds with 47 offensive and 83 defensive total rebounds--aver-aging 7.6 rebounds per game.

But if your goal is increased strength and muscular endurance, or serious body sculpting, this sport is as solid as iron. Weightlifting is an individual sport that many people take part in for different reasons. Some people do it to get in shape for another sport, while others lift weights just to keep in shape. Weightlifting is as much a psychological sport as it is a physical sport. The secret to weightlifting is eating a lot and being intense in your workout. According to Shape-Up Magazine, when it comes to building muscular endurance, increasing strength, and contouring the human body into aesthetically pleasing forms a well-designed weight-training program cannot be beat. Weightlifting is good for the mind as well as the body. It takes a lot of motivation and dedication. Bodybuilding is serious business that requires an almost total lifestyle commitment as well as lots of hours per week spent in the gym and a deep-seated belief that striving to look like Conan the Destroyer is truly a worthy goal... and therefore worth the phenomenal cost in time and effort. Women, today are into weightlifting just as much as men are. Many women are still under the impression that weight training is for men exclusively, and that to be seen lifting weights is the ultimate in embarrassment. Up until a few years ago that was true, but not any morel Henry Heeg is taking a short rest during a prac lice.

A variety of clubs are offered to students so they may pursue individual interests. They offer students a chance for fellowship and opportunities to develop leadership. For some students who join clubs, it's a path they want to follow in their career choices. For many students involved in extracurricular activities, participation didn’t always quit when the final bell rang. There were always meetings to go to, items to sell, contests to participate in. and plans to be made. Joining clubs was a perfect chance to get to know people better.

Coach Gilliland add ed, The new NCA style of collegiate cheerleading did have a dramatic effect on our school spirit and even the fan support.” A cheerleaders’ job was not only to perform for all of the athletic events but also to make signs for the gym and classroom areas. Another job the cheerleaders did was to sell spirit items such as ribbons, pins, and tons. All the signs and m spirit items helped to boost schooJ ' -% spirit and fan support according to Coach Steve Gilliland. The money from their fall spirit item sales financed a trip to the Nebraska State High School Cheerleading Championships in Grand Island in November. All their hardwork paid off when they were named the No. 2 Class B Cheerleading Squad Instead of twenty minute pep rallies. the administration permitted a class period during the school day for Coach Gilliland and cheerleaders to conduct pep assemblies.

During the year the combined boards of education had a superintendent, search to replace Dr. Hensley. At semester Mrs. Elizabeth Eastman retired as school nurse after having that job for almost 20 years. Mrs. Eastman said she had planned this retirement for a long time and plans to enjoy traveling with her husband. Nate. On a bright, note the high school added Mrs. Nancy Olsen to teach the advanced math classes. Mrs. Olsen spent two years at Eastern Wyoming College and two at Chadron to acquire her degree and has had four years of teaching experience at Grover. Colorado and Minitare. Nebraska. Mrs. Olsen said she enjoys being on the Longhorn staff and hopes to be here for a long time. Enrollment was again down this year dropping from 237 last year to 217 this year. Principal Jerry Williams predicts the enrollment will stabilize. According to Principal Williams the major disadvantage of the declining enrollment is the large numbers of classes that are offered only one time and, therefore, the students must make choices. f Foreign Exchange Student from New “ aland Steve Mackenzie, talk! to Jodi irgo and Cindv Janicek alter achool Acheson FACULTY McGinnis Dan Acheson -VoAg 1.2.3.4.

Here are some of the thoughts she shared with us. Dear Friends. After 30 years as school nurse for the Kimball public schools, it's hard to choose just a few special moments. Working alone without any other nurses to share questions or concerns made it difficult for me at first. I had lots of support from our local doctors, weathered it and truly enjoyed it. Also, the administration and the staff of the school have been friendly and supportive. The secretaries of the schools have been in-valuable! Two things stand out particularly. Five years ago while cross country skiing near Red Feather Lake in Colorado. I had a serious heart attack. The concern and the affection shown by students, school personnel and the community were overwhelming and a big factor in my recovery. More recently, when I retired in January the send-off that I had from my school was something I shall never forget. Thanks guys! Right now I am getting used to a more flexible schedule, and accomplishing very little. Soon my husband and I hope to do more traveling. This summer I’ll be doing more gardening (which I love) and redecorating our home (which I don't like as well.) I plan to make quilts, read, and take classes about subjects that interest me. I do miss being with the students. and it isn't as easy to keep in touch now. I guess I'll just have to get in gear and attend school events. Children and young people of Kimball are usually straightforward. honest, energetic, and optimistic.

Principal Jerry Williams made his annual speech to the upcoming freshmen. new students, and former students. No matter what the feelings when the day came, everyone, including Mr. Williams, had to get back into the swing of things. It was time to hit the books for both faculty and students. It was the start of Mr. JerryWilliams’ eleventh year as principal at Kimball County High School. Prior to Kimball Mr. Williams taught at McCook High School and the McCook Junior College. He was an English and business teacher and a wrestling and tennis coach. Mr. Williams had also been principal at O'Neill Public School. Mr. Williams said that the most significant change has been th decrease of student enrollment from 450 to 225. According to Mr. Williams, being a principal has its good and bad points. He enjoys the personal challenge of the students and the association, but he does not like being disliked by some students because he is the principal. Mr Williams commented I would like to see a better student attitude toward wanting to achieve personally and putting forth a much greater effort for success, but it has been a real good year.” Nancy Olsen Bernadine Reader Ardena Regier Mr. Jerry Williams makes his annual speech to the students the first day of the school year.

Faculty 87 FACULTY t foeat tyucf Activities just don't happen without many hours of planning. All the details Dale Hendrickson, activities director, managed to take care of throughout the year-and for the past II years could have taken several pages to list. Briefly. Mr. Hendrickson assumes responsibility for transportation of kindergarten through twelfth grade and maintains the buses, sees to it that participants in all school activities have the necessary releases, a physical, and insurance forms. He hires all the scorekeepers. ticket sellers, chain crews and other helpers for athletic events. Planning program rosters and school calendars, calling coaches meetings, completing up-to-date inventories, ordering trophies and ribbons, balancing budgets, and many other be-hind-the-scene activities that have to take place, are performed by Mr. Hendrickson. Not only has Mr. Hendrickson kept the activities of the school running smoothly, but he has been a friend to the students. A great guy who always seems to be there for everybody.” Liz Wickham Guidance counselor. Pal Quillen tells participants the directions for the SRA achievement test. The tests were given only to juniors and freshmen according to a policy established this year.

Sophomores Jodi Spargo and Cindy Janicek talk to Principal Jerry Williams about their class schedules. F ■ Administration Revised graduation requirements, a search for a new superintendent. SRA achievement tests, and computers in the school office headed the list of priorities for the administra lion. The combined high school and elementary boards began their search early in the fall for a new superintendent to replace Dr. Max Hensley, who announced his resignation after 33 years of service to the school. Students who enrolled last spring had to plan around the new requirements adopted by the Board of Education. A semester of computer lit- eracy and an additional year of social studies were required. Because of a cost factor. SRA tests were given only to the freshmen and juniors. In the past all grades had taken these tests. Each year hereafter it will belimited to juniors and freshmen. Secretaries used the computer in the office to save time and make their work easier. The office staff have placed inventories of the school equipment and supplies, lists of students and advisors' names, students’ credits for graduation, and the activities fund on disks for easy maintenance and access. Administration 89 ACADEMIC S---- Mr. Don Meyer, science teacher and professional photographer says he has enjoyed working with students and feels like many of them have been very successful. Although photography and advanced photography were designed to serve as personal-use classess. they have been a stepping stone for some of Meyer’s former students who have chosen colleges, or classes in college because they feel they want to pursue this area as a career. In photography students worked with black and white negatives, while in advanced photography the students worked with color negatives. Most students would agree with Mike Bemis when he says. It was one of the most popular classes in the school. Glassblowing, a class offered in only one other school throughout the United States, was another popular class with the students. According to Angie Buddecke the class was very interesting but could be time consuming. Students learned to make smaller items such as mushrooms, birds, or fish but progressed to much larger projects such as the popular ship. Meyer commented that many of his former students had earned extra money in college with the skills they developed in this class. Mrs. Merceda Dietz, art teacher, commented that there are many career fields for which art provides a good background.

Later that day Matt Evertson was also arrested for possession and distribution of cocaine. A mock trial was initiated so students in American History become acquainted with trial proceedings. The prosecution and defense both had one attorney and one assistant attorney. The remainder of the class were witnesses or provided expert testimony. It was really fun and I learned a lot about how a trial worked.” Dan Burke On the first day of the trial prosecution witnesses were called and on the following day the defense had their day in court. Matt Evertson was brought to the stand. He claimed he was only a delivery boy for a pharmacy delivering drugs to Penny Blackman for a knee injury. Blackman said she needed the drugs so she could play volleyball. The following day Judge Frank Calise handed down the verdict.” Penny Blackman was found guilty of possession.

Robinson on a field trip. The foreign languages offered included French and Spanish. Mrs. JoAnn Menard, instructor, added a different touch to the Spanish class by introducing foods from Spain and France for students to taste, and even letting them make their own Spanish food. The English Department offered a varied curriculum. Journalism class managed Airnotes. a live radio broadcast, and published Longhorn Notes, the school newspaper. Many college-bound juniors and seniors chose to take American and English Literature. In American Literature they study different early American ideas and beliefs, while in English Literature students study Shakespeare.

Earlier Gorsuch had won the state championship and had advanced to the Region Six Tournament in Waterloo, Iowa. The Region Six tourney was made up of state champions from Nebraska. Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. Gorsuch won his state title at 119 pounds and then opted to box at 112 pounds in the Regional tourney after losing pounds from his hard workouts the two weeks between state and regional. He competed at 112 pounds in the national tournament also. Gorsuch flew to Indianapolis as part of the Region Six team. Mr. Chuch Runner is helping biology student.

According to Ed Avila, Kimball’s team coach, The national tournament is the number one ranking tournament and is among the finest in America. The tournament had 17 boxers in each weight class. The young Kimball boxer started fighting ten years ago at the age of nine and estimates that he has had 350 fights with about 20 losses. Boxing has opened the door to another form of education for Gorsuch as he has traveled extensively because of the sport, met a lot of people and seen a lot of things. Despite this failure to place in National competition Avila said he is proud of Jerry and he felt he accomplished more than most kids his age. Ami Rutledge and Tina Hensley are hanging up their geometric shapes for a unit of figuring volume and surface area. ”1 want to be on the 1988 Olympic Team!” Jerry Gorsuch — ACADEMICS Business, Home Ecomonics, Trade and Industry According to Principal Jerry Williams, declining student enrollment and lack of funds could have proven hazardous to many of the vocational programs in the school. Principal Williams felt strongly about not wanting to drop from the curriculum any of the programs now offered. To en- courage participation in thes e classes, the board adopted a policy to include the vocational classes as part of a block course requirement. Auto Mechanics- There was a larger enrollment in the Auto Me-•. chanics I class than was expected. Instructor Mr. Don McCombs explained that his students get more of an appreciation of the engines in their cars and at the same time learn a good trade. Machine Shop was a smaller class which instructed these students to make intricate objects out of solid blocks of metal. They were allowed benchwork time to enable them to complete these projects. Drafting involved precise measurements and complex drawings. Student Mel Baldwin commented. The class showed me new ideas and taught me skills that I wanted to know. Home Economics- Rather than I just cooking and sewing, home economics students learn about personal relationships, human development and how to deal with problems they may face later in life. Vocational Agriculture students' time is split up--half shop time and half classroom time. They had a supervised occupational experience program and a project for the year, for which they kept progress record books. Students again this year participated in vocational agriculture contests on livestock, welding, ag mechanics and surveying. Computers were introduced into the program during this school year. The Business Department had two advanced classes. Accounting II and office practice. Accounting II students not only learned more about accounting, but also used those principles in conjunction with their computer software program. An on-the-job training program implemented last year for the office practice class was again used this year during the last nine weeks. Industrial Arts provided programs for the students to study layout and design and to select an individual project to complete. Industrial Arts I, II, III. and IV had to make larger and more complex projects with different wood. Jim Pruett. Auto Mechanics III student, makes some minor repairs to his car.

Gator Mr. Al E. Gator resided in Room E-6 for the past nine months. He claimed Louisiana as his birthplace and place of residence until he came to Kimball. Although he was only two years old when he arrived he can expect to grow to be about 17 feet long and live to be about 60 years old. Alligators tend to live longer in captivity. Al may end up in the Denver Zoo when he becomes too hard to handle, commented Don Meyer who shares a room with him. Mr. Meyer purchased Al for $100 this past summer. Mr. Gator’s diet consisted mainly of fish, although he will eat any animal. According to Mr. Meyer he is not aware of it if Al has consumed a student. Keeping animals is not a rare occurrence for Mr. Meyer who has previously had a nine foot boa constrictor. Julius Squeezeri a squirrel monkey. Picrrei and his first alligator. Mickey.

Hillevi Gustafsson is a foreign exchange student from Leksand. Sweden, while Steve Mackenzie, a member of Rotarua Highland pipe band and Lakes High School squash club, is from Rotarua. New Zealand. They shared their thoughts and views of their countries and of the United States -Kimball in particular. DIFFERENCES IN SCHOOLS Hillevi: In Sweden we start at seven years old and go to school until ninth grade. We have seventeen classes a week, but they vary from day to day. Steve: We start school at 900 and have five classes per day-one hour per class. We have to wear uniforms and our school has different buildings like a college. FRIENDS Steve: The social life is much different. The kids here drive cars and at home we ride bikes and buses. Hillevi: The people are about the same. We stay the nights with our friends and most of my friends I’ve known since I was a baby. LIFE AT KIMBALL Hillevit Kimball is a very small town and it focuses a lot on school activities. Steve: I’m used to being able to look around and see the ocean somewhere. In Kimball, you can go miles and miles without seeing the ocean. LIVING WITH A HOST FAMILY Steve: I needed to prepare and had to make a lot of adjustments. Living with a host family was a change in my lifestyle, which gave me a chance to find out what I was really about. Hillevi: Living with two U.S. families gave me a good way to learn about different families' lifestyles. CHRISTMAS Hillevi: All the celebration takes place on Christmas Eve: we usually have a large family dinner that night. We don’t bring our tree in until the night before Christmas Eve. and we decorate it with glass pears, glitter, red hearts and candles. Steve: It doesn’t snow, but Christmas traditions are about the same. DRESS Steve: The dress is about the same but more trendy, and it follows the British styles. Hillevi: We wear a lot of Levis, but we are more into fashion. TELEVISION Hillevi: We only have two channels, and they are on from about 5 p.m. until II p.m. Steve: We also have only two channels. SMALL DIFFERENCES Steve: Light switches are upside down from what they are in New Zealand. Gas prices are much 106 Seniors HHIevi: Car here are driven on the wrong tide of the road. MOST ASKED OUESTION Hillevi: How do you like it here?

Seniors 107 A Sign of Class s the school year opened, many juniors rushed to the 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. A lot of anticipation was in the air before their rings finally arrived. Juniors, those students who traditionally sell magazines and candy and plan the prom, were involved in school activities. Many of the 23 girls and 26 boys participated in sports, held offices in organizations and earned honors for the school. Putting on a prom involved a lot more work than I anticipated, commented Kim Schneider. It takes a lot of money, added Sharon DeFreece. Some juniors began thinking seriously about their future and enrolled in the ACT tests which were given in October and again in February. Guidance Counselor. Mrs. Pat Quillen, commented. Many students try totake these early. Juniors Julie Barrett Erica Beaver Susan Allwin David Atkins Mike Bemis Jamie Burry During a pep assembly preceding the Chadron game. Horn running back.

Here are some responses. “In larger cities and schools you don't get to know that many people. In a school and town like Kimball you pretty much know everyone. -Shelly Stundon You can do many different things like go to the city for entertainment or stay in the rural area for nature. Erica Beaver Greg Johnson and Mike Schepker work on an experiment for chemistry. Mike Bemis sells candy at halftime during a boys' varsity football game. Gregg Johnson. Brian Williams, and Bonnetta Eich vote for their class officers. In a small community there is more chances for people to get close to each other.’’-Julie Barrett It is easier to get community scholarships in a smaller town unlike in a bigger city where a lot of people will apply for one. -Susan Greenlee We live close to Cheyenne so we can go to the mall and to the show.’’-Rhonda Seeman It's a small town and there isn't as much crime as in a big city.”-Bon-netta Eich Juniors lll Car + License = Freedom arly in the sophomore year many students began thinking about--even visualizing- -the car or pickup they would like to drive. Wheels gave them a new freedom. Some worked after school to make money for car payments, while others received a set of wheels for their sixteenth birthday. The driver's test could be taken 90 days before actually turning 16. and to some passing this test appeared more important than any English 10 or biology exam. According to Jeanine Rauert. It was scary to try and memorize all the traffic signs, to drive well with a stranger in the car. and to stop four feet behind every stop sign.'' The $10 fee for the driver's license didn't cause much anguish, but a stop by the local insurance agent set many sophomores back on their heels. The type of automobile and whether the driver was male or female had a bearing on the insurance costs. Many insurance companies offered special rates for honor students or students who had acquired a good record after a period of driving. The car and license not only provided the sophomores with a ticket to freedom, but gave them new responsibilities--an important part of growing up.

I'm also looking forward to having my two sisters in high school with me.’’-Megan Brighton As an upperclassman I am looking forward to state competition in basketball and football ’--Henry Heeg I look forward to helping the lower classmen with their problems.”— Lesli White I will have more freedom, a better and wider choice of classes, and I will be able to go to prom.”-Steve Allwin I am looking forward to having the authority over the underclassman and to graduation, when I can start making choices for my life.”-Amber Story I’m looking forward to sports and it will be fun to drive myself around. —Rob Ring Ryan Vowers Troy Walker Michelle Wertz Jim Westby Lesli White Doug Wickham Dan Williams Judy Yung Melvin Yung Steven Yung Sophomores 115 Mike Allison Mike Apppleby Kerry Barker Cindy Barrett Richard Bates Brad Brower Lori Buddecke Darin Buescher Frank Calise Shawn Derifield Aaron Firestone Glen Freuden Freshmen Freshmen Jen McCombs and Lisa Walls take a refreshment break during the FHA meeting.
