Many students found it was infectious during the preparation and the performance of the fall play and the one-acts. What was it that is so contagious? Enthusiasm!

Bye Bye Birdie was preformed by the KCHS music department on March 27 and 28. This musical comedy became only a memory for the many hard-working people who assisted Mrs.Cynthe Staehr in her well-received performances. Mrs. Staehr was quoted, Many long hours of hard work are always worthwhile in the end. When taking a look back at some of the funnier moments of the musical, you could remem- ber the suave Conrad Birdie (Todd Wentz) glowing in his golden suit. Catching Mr. and Mrs. Mac Afee and son (Stephanie Perry, Erik Nielsen, and Jeff Dietz) doing a caricature of the Ed Sullivan show gave the crowd an interesting insight into the Mac Afee family.

September 13-1:30 a.m.-a fire alarm sounded! Four thousand Rainbow hamburger buns and 14 grills used to fry the hamburgers for Farmers Day were destroyed in the blaze that burned down Plains Body Shop. The fire was started by a fluorescent light in the back of the building. Firemen worked for over three hours to gain control of the fire. This loss was not enough to stop the 60th annual Farmers Day celebration. Many residents and local volunteer firemen worked into the early morning hours finding addi- tional grills and more buns for the free barbeque. The fire hall was used for grilling the hamburgers. Mr. Harry McNees, band director; and Mrs. Bonnie McNees, head of the Clean Community System, were Grand Marshals in the parade. Farmers Day witnessed both old and new entertainment. Laughing Matters , a mime groupe from Kansas City, amused the crowd during the morning and performed on stage that afternoon. A popular activity was the Lip Sync Contest, where contestants mouth the words Trisha Coins performs to 'Surfin' in the USA during the Lip Sync contest.

It all goes to prove You can’t get a good team down. We played pretty well overall commented Coach Keith Staehr, after a 24-0 Homecoming victory over the Bridgeport Bulldogs. The Horns, anticipating a strong Bridgeport team, were ready and went to work scoring halfway through the first quarter.

It wasn't until the final quarter that the Horns scored their final touchdown, a one-yard run by Henry Heeg. During half time 30 band members performed the 1936 Homecoming routine.

They were: )ody Spargo, queen; Andy Beguin, king; Tina Hensley and Amy Rutledge, queen attendants; and Mark Vowers and loe Chapin, king attendants.Crown bearers were Liea Rauert and Mark Schnell Spirit leaders and enthusiastic students hoped to cheer their team to a 3-1 record with a bonfire the evening before the game and at a pep assembly on Friday. Several skits were planned, including the varsity football players participating in a pie eating contest. Rousing music, snake dancing, and stirring chants helped motivate the gridders to shut out the Bulldogs. but also for budgets 1.0. u. was a popular brand for not only sweatshirts with the high cost of fashions. During the first weeks of school, students expressed style with wild colors found in Hawaiian shorts and tank tops. Mini skirts with shaker sweaters also made nice outfits for the summer and fall months. As the weather changed, closet doors were opened to exciting winter fashion with mid-length skirts and sweaters, accented with scarfs and pins to make a more dressy attire. To add a little fun into their dress, girls matched sweaters with socks which were worn over the jeans. On the other hand, guys often added style with suspenders and neckties. Some other popular items this year consisted of such items as banana clips for the hair, Reebok hightop shoes, and pumps. As for brand names, I.O.U., Juniors Brad Brower, Mike Loy, and Kirby Fell gather around to show off the guys' style - suspenders Brian Wilson and Dan Williams wear the popular brand I.O.U while talking physics. Fashions 0.0 Ri. Guess, and Pepe ranked at the top of the list. But of course, the famous Levi 501's will always be a favorite. This year, style showed a more casual look. With a little imagination and with a closet ful of separates and accessories, students could create oh-so-classy combinations. Rochael Soper and Aleta Pearson show off the key choice for coats during the winter season.

Don't feel alone. Many people have found themselves in embarrassing situations and shared them with us. Here are a few examples that you may be able to relate to one of your worst dates. The worst thing that happened to me on a date was when I was going out with a guy in Scottsbluff. We went to a dance, and I was trying my hardest to impress him.

Traci Williams admitted. lamie Nelson told us, The worst thing that ever happened to me was when we went to a movie in Cheyenne, and I left to get some popcorn. When I came back, the theater was very dark; so, I had a hard time finding my seat. When I finally found my spot, I sat down and handed the popcorn to the person next to me. After a little while, I realized I had sat in the wrong seat! Boy, was I embarrassed! Pam Knutsen stated that the funniest thing that ever laughs together by the drinking fountain. happened to her on a date was when her date and four other couples were going to the graduation dance last year. She said that it had rained that night so the parking lot was wet and slick. She saw a cup laying there and was going to step on it; but instead of squashing the cup with her foot, she ended up sitting on it. Enjoy! Enjoy! Enjoy!

ACTORS BEWARE- Cast members seemed to readily agree that participating in the one-act plays was rewarding and a lot of fun. But the performers had to be prepared for unwritten scripts. Five student-directed plays instead of the usual three were presented on February 10 in conjunction with a dinner theatre. The dinner and performance were hosted by the Drama Club and FHA. Miss Barb Vogel, drama advisor, commented, The dinner theatre was successful, but I wish we had had a larger turnout. She felt the audience enjoyed the plays. The Taming of The Shrew competed in a district contest at Ogallala where it received a third-place rating. Everybody's Secret was student-directed by LaTisha Tuller, Once Around The Block, by Matt Evertson; Steve Yung directed Personal Effects; and When Shakespeare's Ladies Meet, by Eric Nielson.

A Night On The Town is shared by a romantic couple The Junior Senior Prom and banquet signaled the fare well for friends. Spring rains tried hard to dampen the high spirits of the juniors and seniors who attended A Night On The Town, but like senior Jeanine Rauert said, Nothing could have stopped us from having a great time. Upon entering the student center at 7:30, May 2, students received silver frosted glasses from Mr. Buford Williams. After the meal, junior jamie Nelson and senior Erik Nielsen sang It Was Almost Like a Song and Truly. After the musical entertainment, juniors Cindy Barrett and Steph Owen read the senior prophecies and the wills to the juniors. At 9 o'clock sharp students started arriving in anything from a parent's car to a limosine. When students stepped into the gym, they no longer saw the room where they played sports, but a huge ballroom. The room was decorated with blue, silver, and white streamers, along with a gigantic top hat nestled on top of several tall skyscrapers. Wall murals of city lights, hung from wires strung from the ceiling, accented the room. Royalty for A Night On The Town was crowned at 10 o'clock, Saturday night. Queen was Shannon Buresh and king was Alan Felton. First attendants were Tina Hensley and Matt Evertson, second attendants were Cindy janicek and Troy Walker. Shannon was quoted to say When I first found out I was Prom Queen, I couldn't believe it. I was really excited but as soon as I was escorted to Central Park for the crowning, I got really nervous and was shaking all over.

Same song, same place, same principal. Yawn! So what will these 58 seniors remember? After expressing her graditude to the staff and administration, Co-Valedictorian Judy Yung expressed it this way: Remember all the fun we had. The way we drove the teachers mad. The pranks we pulled in these hallowed halls. That drove the teachers up the walls. The tricks we played were fun and fair. But they made Mr. Meyer lose his hair. Principal Williams thought he was powerful cute, When he ran around in his banana suit. We studied hard for Buford's class, And hoped the professor would let us pass. Standing in the door like a chief of police. And watching the halls was Mr. Calise. The rest of the faculty I won't mention by name. For they already have a greater fame. Understand that this is said in jest. For we know that you've done your best. You say you wonder about Kerry Cleveland practices for the commencement on the last day of school for seniors. Steve Allwin and ludy Yung were co-valedictorians. my class? Well, here they are, first and last. We'll remember them in many a way.

Trent we will remember by his casts-I sure hope this one will be the last! jeanine's laugh, resounding through the hall. Will be remembered by one and all. I will be remembered cuz I'm a klutz. And also for the fact that I'm basically nuts! You also know me as being a tease, So I hope you'll forgive me for reading these. Because all have been said in fun and games. To help each one onto greater fame. Now if your name I've failed to mention, Know that it's not because of contention. But only because of lack of time, Or failure to find words that would rhyme. Now I'll draw my speech to a close, But before you all begin to doze, I wish to say before I end, Best of luck, to you, my friends, And when life gets too serious, remember this poem. And all the fun we had here at home! At what exact moment do you graduate from KCHS? The minute I hand in my last layout. LaTisha Tuller '87 As soon as I get my little speech said!!

Going on bus trips to conventions and Cheerleading competition, preparing for Farmer's Day, or organizing soup suppers all headed the list of fun activities. Each of these fun activities were tied in with learning experiences; and when it was all over, they realized that all the hard work proved to be the most fun. Activities Divider l ou Bet!

Band members commented that it was a long day, but it definitely was enjoyable. Next on the agenda was concert band and pep band. The winter concert showed a lot of diversity with the band playing many different types of music. Pep band members supported their team by playing for the home basketball games and following the girls and boys to districts.

Answer: The annual FBLA trip to Denver. First stop was the Pepsi Bottling Company, where students witnessed a completely mechanized bottling plant. In contrast, at Stephany's Chocolate Factory students watched as many of the candies were hand wrapped and boxed. After a picnic lunch at the City Park, members enjoyed an adventure into space on a seven-story screen, the IMAX. The final stop was the Buddist temple and Sekura Square, the lapanese cultural arts center. In November the officers attended a regional conference in Omaha. The officers attended seminars on leadership, management, and success. December brought with it plans for a hayride and a caroling party. Due to the cold, wintery weather, the Christmas committee improvised. Plans were changed to a chili supper and a movie afterwards. During national FBLA week the members invited Minitare and FFM to a skating party in Scottsbluff. Officers and other members recorded radio spots promoting FBLA. They also sponsored a Valentine raffle. The first weekend in April six members and Miss Shari Lindgren attended State leadership Conference in Omaha. After participating in several competitive events, the group brought home awards in Business Systems and Procedures, Business Math, Business Law, and Parlimentary Procedure.

Amber Story at- tended COOP Conference in Liberty, Missouri and Story and Craig Morgan both attended the Washington Conference Program in Washington DC. Things slowed down after school began. Mem- bers devoted many fun hours getting ready for Farmers Day. They built a float, a bed for the bed races, and practiced for the lip sync contest. Later in the fall FFAers hit their contests hard and heavy. Local FFA speech winners included Nicole Tisdale in the public speaking, Kristi Staman in the wildlife, Craig Morgan in the extemporaneous, and David Acheson in the creed speaking. Staman earned a trip to state after; succesfully competing in district competition. In the Vo-Ag convention in Lincoln in April is always a fun and rewarding time. Mr. Dan Acheson stated, We go to Lincoln to prove ourselves against the whole state of Nebraska. This year we ranked eighth in the state! That wasn't too bad considering the team that won had 49 contestants, and we only had 17. He added, We also moved up from tenth place last year. The FFA students brought home many honors from state: Staman, bronze in wildlife; Morgan, State Agribusiness Degree; Yung, first place in welding. The year came to a close on April 28 with our annual Parent-Member Banquet. Members elected new officers and recognized people who helped thoughout the year. These were the highlights of the year. Each FFA student has individual memories to add. It could be Craig Morgan's trip to town; Craig and Amber's three-hour wait at the International Airport in Washington, DC.; the tapes in the senior van on the way to Lincoln or the smell of the freshmen van.

With the new list of requirements for membership, the NHS members were definitely making some CHANGES ational Honor Society saw some changes—the biggest being the change in the requirements to become a member. In the past each class had different grade requirements—sophomores being the highest and seniors being the lowest. According to the new requirements, everyone must carry at least a 90 percent grade average. Students who are eligible still must fill out an application form. Now, however, the only people with input on accepting applicants is the Honors Committee. Even the Honors Committee changed. It used to be the principal was a member- he no longer is.

Ready hu m With two state championships at hand from last season, the cheerleaders all would take a lot of hard work and determination to do something like that again, but they were anything but short of hard work and determination. At camp the squad changed their outlook a little and decided to take a rest from all and concentrate most of their attention to crowd support and school spirit. After camp the squad competed in only one moreevent, trying to regain the championship of the 1986 NCA Nebraska State Cheerleadering Finals, but disappointment covered their faces as a rival squad took the title. Kimball's spirit leaders landed a second place, only missing the top spot by two points. Cheering for 77 events was bound to have some setbacks. The first was an injured knee for Steph Owen, three days before school started, that left her on the bench for the remainder of the year. The next came early in the second season when it was announced by the NE State High School Athletics Department that stunts over one-and-a-h a I f people high would be prohibited. This wiped out most of the stunts that the squad did. After the changes were made and safer stunts practiced, the squad was once more back on their feet and ready to perform again. With five out of the nine cheerleaders being seniors, the squad had a lot of responsibility and leadership, and one thing this year's squad never fell short of was having a good time. agreed that it the competition Pam Knutsen, Jeanine Rauert, and Tammy Watts lead the pep band through the halls before the Homecoming Pep Assembly.

What is it? Success! For our wrestlers, success definitely came when they brought home the first place trophy from the Haxton Invitational Tournament. At this tourney, Kimball had six individual championships, two second places, and two third places. We wrestled the best as a team all year, said Coach Dave Christian. As in the past. Western Conference proved to have formidable competition. Wrestlers faced teams more than twice the num ber of wrestlers and many times wrestled out of their weight classes.

Success came to two individual wrestlers, Janicek and Matt Evertson, whose determination and hard work put them in the top four of their weight class at districts qualifying them for state.

Kimball girls started the season with determination, hard work, and reached New Heights Due to the lack in numbers, the girls' varsity track team had a difficult time placing as a team. This didn't seem to affect the outcome of many of the individual races. The season started with the Alliance Invitational. Angie Lippold began the season with a first place in both the mile and 2 mile races. Krista Bashaw, Kristi Schepker, and Lori Kile all placed in the high jump, 2, 3, and 6, respectfully. Kelli Frederick showed her technique in the hurdles by placing fourth. To finish off the first meet, the mile relay team including Kile, Bashaw, Frederick, and Julie managed a strong second. After a few more weeks of conditioning, the girls' team was ready for the tough competition of Western Conference. Kile and Bashaw again placed in the high jump, 4 and 5.

It made me feel good to see how much they remembered from the first two years. I was pleased with their thinking processes.'' The class consisted of three students—Gertrudis (Lanelle Henderson), Carmen (Kerry Cleveland), and Teresa (Tisha Tuller). The emphasis for Spanish III is to actually speak the language and learn slang. They are planning a foreign language day in the spring with foreign language classes from other communities.

Do you also remember not being able to come up with the cash to buy those necessities ? Where did all the money go? No matter where our money came from, it always seemed to disappear before we knew it. )unk food took a large chunk out of our spending money. Snickers, donuts, gum, pop, chips, and suckers were some of the .most popular snacks. Clothes were another expensive item for students. Bargain and” sale were key words when students searched for that special outfit, but it was often hard to bypass a Coca-Cola sweatshirt or a Levi jean jacket. Most of the time parents helped with car expenses. Whether it is insurance, maintenance, or gasoline, every little bit counted. Most found it was hard not to blow the money before they got to the bank. Savings that existed were mainly for college or cars. Somehow through borrowing, spending, saving or earning we gained experience in handling money. However, the dollars never stretched as far as desired and often the end of the dollar came before the end of the month. Aleta Pearson adds a few finishing touches to her watercolor painting.

In Norway, you have a different schedule everyday. Ulla: We have 30 to 40 students a class, six week periods, and our grading based on a scale from 4 to 10. SPORTS Nille: In Norway, I play handball. Here I participated in volleyball and basketball. I noticed that sports are taken a lot more serious here than in Norway. Ulla: At school in Finland, I usually play baseball, basketball, volleyball, and squash. Also, I used to swim two or three times a week with my father. Here I plan to go out for track. SPARETIME Nille: In my sparetime, I like to be with my friends and have fun. I, also, like to travel. Ulla: I like going to the movie, dragging main, but I would really like to ski. FUTURE Nille.

I would have liked to have known of the emotional changes in my life, so I could have prepared for them,” commented Troy Walker. Jeanine Rauert says that one of her regrets was that she would have tried to be friends with everybody, not just a couple people. Your senior year comes so fast, and there is a lot of really neat people she missed having for friends. Kirk Bemis had a rather humorous approach to this question. His theory is, If I knew as a freshman what I know now, I'd already be in college studying to be a nuclear physicist!

Unfinished homework headed the list of bad habits of students, according to a survey filled out by high school teachers. One-third of the teachers thought this was the number one problem while the other two-thirds ranked it number two. Another one-third of the teachers thought the habit that raised blood pressures most was students being unprepared. The final one-third thought that snapping gum or chewing noisily was the number one annoying habit. Placing fourth and fifth are absences and tardies, respectively. Mrs. Nancy Olsen also commented that students asking if they can ask a question or raising their hand and saying, I have a question annoyed her. An irritating habit, according to Mrs. Merceda Dietz, was making smart alec remarks trying to be funny. So a word to the wise, upcoming juniors, take note.

Admitting to their worst habits was not easy for most. So their parents, brothers, or sisters also were asked. Lori Kile, for example, claimed that not studying for tests was her worst habit.

Brad Brower's mother, Mrs. Linda Brower, said, Brad's worst habit was pouting. Brad didn't tell us that! Senior Dan Williams agreed with his sister, Julie, that her worst habit was sleeping too late. However, her father, Mr. Buford Williams, said, Not cleaning her room, it's a PIT! Freshman Brian Henderson agreed with his sister Lanelle's statement that her worst habit was speeding. Mrs. Royetta Lockhorn, mother of junior Craig Lockhorn, hesitated when asked this question but finally came up with the answer, He is a very picky eater. Craig said raising his voice to his parents was one of his worst habits. Pennie Maginnis' mother, Mrs. Marilyn Maginnis, said, Her worst is probably not putting things back, such as my earrings.

Denver, the AFC titlist, battled to a 10-9 lead at halftime . But the New York Caints dominated thereafter. The Caints erupted with a 17 points in a game turning third quarter and buried the Broncos 39-20. Despite the loss, an estimated one hundred thousand Bronco fans crowded into 17th Street Canyon and Civic Center Park to welcome the Broncos home.

Each student had his or her own way of coping with struggles of How can you do your homework and have the radio so loud ? Does this sound familiar? Typical parents show concern for their child's study habits. Typical students in contrast feel listening to music relaxes them and helps them to get into the mood to do their homework. Some students find it difficult to get all their homework finished while participating in after school activities. Reine janicek stated, After basketball practice I'm really exhausted and I won't stay up any later than 11:00 doing homework. Some students complain about having several hours of homework every night. Traci Williams stated, It takes me from three to four hours every night just to complete my homework, but I sit and watch television at the same time. Study halls were also a place for students to catch up on their homework. Stacy Morgan stated, I usually get all my homework done in study hall, but if I don't, I don't even bother finishing it. Parents were also a big help with homework, as Dan Williams found out. He stated, Having my dad do calculus with me keeps me from saying 'What in the world am I doing in this class?

Putting routine school work aside, hiding their feeling in amusing situations, and giving of themselves, seven seniors develop a lot of Patience is a virtue; possess it if you can. This thought came through loud and clear for the seven seniors who worked with the kindergarten and first grade. The interested seniors volunteered their study hall time to the newly initiated student aide program. Senior Aleta Pearson thought the program, planned by Superintendent Darryl Kile and Principal )erry Williams, provided a good experience for high school students to be involved with young children. First grade teacher. Miss Linda Mihm, expressed similar feelings. I think the neatest part, other than all their assistance, is that the little children can have a chance to interact with young adults. The young children often do not know people of this age group unless they have older brothers and sisters. The seniors found it was often hard to hide their amusement because the children are so open and humorous. Superintendent Kile commented, It's been good for the kids, beneficial for the teachers and has met the goals of the program.

What do you think of the new policies? I feel that percentages on report cards are good; students receive the credit they deserve.': M( Spires ,87 I think the new tardy policy is fine except for the suspension part.” - Mariane Rhode '89 AUmmiviration Son Principal lerry Williams spends a lot of time with the stu-•dents during the school day Here he is visiting with Lesli White, Jeff Kellner, and |im Westby. New policies dealing with make-up work, grading, and tardies were initiated during the year forcing students and teachers to take it urn W Three new policy changes were initiated in August that directly affected students. The crackdown on make-up work and tardiness headed the list. Using percentage grades was a more accurate method for ranking students. Tardiness, according to the new rule, was punishable by 30-minutes detention after the third offense. After six tardies, the detention time was doubled. Finally, any student having more than nine tardies per semester was suspended from class; and a parent conference was scheduled. Absentees were given three days for every day missed to make up their work. Students were required to make up all work missed. In previous years if the student did not do the make-up work they were given zeroes. Under the new policy, the students had detention if the allotted time had elapsed; and the student had failed to finish the work. The student received a maximum of 50 percent of the grade earned on late work. Anyone who made a habit of being late with make-up work was subject to a parent conference with the principal. Class rank was often hard to determine with letter grades; a new policy required the report cards to show percentages. This made the selection of valedictorian and salutatori-an easier. These new policy changes encouraged the students to work harder and according to Principal Williams the new policies were well accepted by the students.

The Denver Broncos won the AFC Championship and moved on to the Super Bowl. Although the Broncos lost the Super Bowl, there was an estimated one hundred thousand fans crowded into the 17th Street Canyon and the Civic Center Park to welcome the Broncos home. During March and April one of the hottest stories in the news was about )im and Tammy Baker, a husband-and-wife team of televangelists. They were forced to abandon their multimillion dollar spiritual empire because of a sex scandal. Around the same time as the Bakker scandal. Rev. Oral Roberts added to the Unholy Row. Rev. Roberts, an operator of a TV ministry, university and medical center in Tulsa, had broadcast that God would call Oral Roberts home unless believers came up with $4.5 million for missionary work by March 31. Roberts did raise his full $4.5 million dollars, and he did not go nome. The news that probably hit the Western region the hardest was the withdrawal of Gary Hart, a U.S. Senator from Colorado, from the presidential race. Accused of womanizing by several news media and openly accused of adultry by the Washington Post was the news that caused his reputation to be jeopardized and his popularity to fall in the public polls and the eventual withdrawal from the democratic race. The Iran Contra-Arms scandal will be the news to go down in the history books. Unauthorized arms were sold to Iran for the supposed release of hostages. Names that made the headlines were John Poindexter and Col. Oliver North. There were questions of President Ronald Reagan's involvement. 120 Index IV Vandiver, Cory (11) -97 Vann, Amy (10) - 7, 41, 101 Vann, Melinda (12) -41, 92 Vincent, Robert (10) -101 Vogel, Barbara - 83 Volleyball - 54, 55, 56, 57 Vowers, )ason (9) -38, 60, 72, 74, 103 Vowers, John (10) -8, 101 Vowers, Kay - 85 Vowers, Mandy - 79 Vowers, Mark (12) - 14, 15, 23, 51, 92, 128 Vowers, Merle - 85 Vowers, Ryan (12) - 15, 50, 51, 58, 79, 92 w Walker, Troy (12) -26, 51, 71, 92, 93, 109, 123 Walls, Damon (11) -60, 97 Wamsley, )ody - See O'Connell Watts, Tammy (11) -46, 47, 97 Wentz, Todd (10) -10, 32, 34, 35, 42, 51, 53, 58, 59, 101 Westby, )im (12) -51, 92, 113 Westby, Steve (11) -8, 97 Whartman, Shirley -83 Whitaker, Kevin (9) -103 White, Lesli (12) - 23, 92, 112 Wickard, Lauri - 55, 57 Wickham, Doug (12) - 32, 67, 93 Wickham, Jay (10) -32, 51, 53, 67, 101 Wilke, Todd (11) -26, 38, 39, 97 Williams, Buford - 83 Williams, Daniel (12) -17, 32, 93, 123 Williams, David E.

The staff would like to extend a special thanks to co-editors Lynn Lovesee and Megan Brighton; Mr. Don Meyer and Mrs. Bernadine Reader co-advisors; Mrs. Carol Meyer for giving assistance with the photography. The staff members used an Apple II computer and the Typestar program to send copy directly to the ICP Typesetting System in Kansas City. After copy was received, the staff members pasted the copy down and completed the yearbook. 021 As students look back, they remember a media extravaganza that resembled Watergate during the Nixon administration.
