They would ruin everything. At first, there were some obvious problems: the freshmen had to know where they stood. It was a big step coming into high school; the upperclassmen had to show them the ropes. They created longer lunch lines, and they had to realize they were starting at the bottom once again. But, surprisingly, the freshmen really did have their stuff together. They boosted sales of activity cards, joined teams and clubs, and increased enrollment in band and chorus; their enthusiasm was contagious.

They did as much as they could to bring a little spirit into our school. It all started with signs and posters in the hallways. The first big event of the school year was Homecoming, and with it, Spirit Week. The students did something different every day of the week to show their spirit. Not only did the cheerleaders show enthusiasm, the students did too. They participated in spirit week; and when Kimball played Sidney, they wore war paint to show school spirit. A few of the teachers wore crazy socks, and some even painted their faces with war paint. sheila Elrod and Traci Williams During a visit to a Denver court room on an FBLA Field trip, Ben Jensen is questioned.

Life Begins at 3:24! If you asked the average student when he considers his day to start, he may reply,“3:24 p.m.!” Of course, that’s when the fun starts! As the dismissal bell rings, the student center became filled with smiling teenagers ready to “live.” Some headed off for sports while others spent an hour or two of cruising or other such socializing. Although most students saved most of their socializing for Friday and Saturday nights, it wasn’t unusual to find students hanging out at the bowling alley or Marty’s Drive-in playing video games on weeknights. Then maybe they would “squeeze”in an hour or so of homework However, the more serious student would spend most of the night doing homework, then spend the weekend rewarding themselves for all their hard work. Others held jobs in addition to everything else; and by the time Friday night came, they were too tired to go out, but went out anyway. Going to school and keeping up with all of one’s other activities was really quite a chore, but after everything was finished, students found out that it was really worth it after all.

These runners could either run a 5-mile or a 2-mile course. At 10 A.M. the annual Farmers’ Day Parade began with everything from clowns to marching bands. The highlight of junior Tamara Cook’s day was cheering throughout the parade, since it was her first year in cheerleading. Band member Allison Dillion remembered driving down an alley frantically trying to get to the band line-up when she ran into one of the big trash dumpsters. Luckily, all she did was tear off the bumper as she drug the dumpster about six feet through the alley. Following the parade, volunteers grilled and served over 3,700 hamburgers. While eating their hamburgers, spectators listened to the KCHS band, who provided dinner music for the afternoon. One of the highlights of the day was the pie-eating contest. Pies weren’t used only for eating on this warm day in September; they were also auctioned off and thrown at “Someone Special.” The pie-in-the-face auction had selected people line up including: Mayor Tom Wilson, Councilman Greg Robinson, Mary Jensen, newspaper publisher Bob Pinkerton, County Attorney Dave Wilson, Sheriff John Thacker, Jr., school superintendent Darryl Kile, Anna Lewis, Pat Bie-secker, history teacher Frank Calise, Steve Brown, and-Dean Fox Later in the afternoon there was mud and water all over at the fairgrounds. A greased pig contest sponsored by the Kimball FFA Chapter was a big hit with freshman Mike Rux when asked about the highlight of his Farmer’s Day, “Being in the greased pig contest with Joe Exum and Mike Lippold.” was his answer. The Kimball marching band and cheerleaders entertain local residents while they eat at the free hamburger feed. To put a perfect close on a perfect day, people went home, changed their clothes and came back downtown to the Lip Sync contest and the street dance with ‘Complete Music’ by Carey Story. New and fun addi- tions to Farmers' Day this year were a mini zoo, initiated by Mr. Bill Rauert, and a dunking booth sponsored by the Job’s Daughters.

These make up most of the good, as well as a few of the bad times. They are the times we will remember most when we look back on our high school years—all of those caring, sharing, fun, partying times we’ve all had together. Here are some of the messages and pictures that will be memories forever. Gretchen and Tiffer, Thanks for always being there for me and let’s not EVER forget the fun we've had.

Nancy Ben Jensen AWr' Mrs. Warren (Allison Dillon) talks with her stepson Professor Warren (Brain Wilson). On October 19. Mrs. Barb Vogel and five cast members set the stage for the production of “The Spiral Staircase.” The Auditorium stage was changed dramatically into the plays setting, the Warren household. The cast members and stage crew worked many long hours to make the play a success. As thunder and rain echo offstage, the town Constable (Reid Hagstrom) arrived at the isolated Warren household to report another in the series of unprovoked murders, which shocked and terrified the village. Without exception, the victims have been young girls, and all with a noticeable defect or imperfection of some kind. Because of this there is fear for the safety of Helen (Gretchen Bemis), companion of the bedridden Mrs. Warren (Allison Dillion). The telephone wires had been downed by the storm; the Constable had stopped by in person to check on Helen’s whereabouts, but neither Mrs. Oats (Lora Hafeman) the housekeeper, nor Professor Warren (Brain Wilson), scholarly stepson of Mrs. Warren, had seen or heard from her since she went into the village earlier in the day. Their fears are stopped when Helen, in the company of young Dr. Parry (Kirby Fell) was brought home safely. Still the threat of danger exists; for the murderer remains at large, and his cleverness has denied the police any solid clues as to his identity. Who Done It? As the murder mystery unravels the audience was in suspense to find out who done it. These young actors had the audience on the edge of their seats as the murder mystery, “The Spiral Staircase,” unravels to find Brian Wilson as the psychopathic murderer. -Stacy Morgan-Shelley Mahaffev- Cast members: First Row-Jamie Nelson.

JJC iPCay Throughout the school year, students danced the night away in anything from tennies to Over the course of the school year, various dances and “get togethers” are arranged so that the kids have something better to do than cruise the streets. In the fall, cheerleaders and Student Council joined forces to hosts the Homecoming celebration. The Longhorns played the Gordon Broncs, and routed them 42-20. As is customary, royalty was introduced at halftime after the band performed. A dance followed the game to OiL celebrate the win. The dance was informal so the kids showed up in about anything. The next dance on the agenda was Twirp in March. You know, where the girls ask the guys. Students showed up in everything from shorts to well... let’s not say. Royalty selected by the sophomore class was introduced about halfway through the dance. In May it was time to put the jeans and tennies aside and break out the formals. Prom was here; the big formal put on at the end of the school Jason Eatmon and Stephanie Perry “boogie down at the Homecoming Dance Seniors Scott Hillius and Sheila Elrod gaze romantically into each others eyes as the camera catches their attention. i year by the junior class.

The site will be located south of Kimball and will cover 640 acres of land. The plant will not handle any kinds of nuclear waste, but will dispose of hazardous waste. Construction of the hazardous waste treatment plant is expected to begin as soon as necessary permits and other details are obtained. Waste Tech Services, Inc. is responsible for getting these permits, designing and constructing the plant, and operating it for a group of investors, Thermal Inc. The actual construction of the plant is expected to take about 11 months and testing and trial burns will take another eight months. It is expected that full-scale operation will begin by the spring of 1990. Once the plant is fully operational, about 40 workers are expected to be hired. Capital Thursday, February 11, was pro claimed as the day that Kimball would be recognized as “Ca pital for a Day.” Under this pro gram, communities all around the state are given the opportunity to host the governor and other ad ministration mem bers for a day.

The first storm struck the • area just two days before Christmas day which made it really tough for many people to carry on with their holiday plans. Shortly after being struck by that storm, another arrived just a few days later. This storm turned out to be the first blizzard of the 87-88 winter. It was reported that 16 1 2 inches of snow fell. All roads and highways going out of Kimball were closed for at least a couple of hours. Not even a month later, the snow were to fall again around the region. Two feet of blowing and drifting snow was dumped over the Kimball area which caused many of the local businesses to shut their doors. Kimball County civil defense director, Dan Jensen, claimed that this was the first storm that he had to get permission from county and city officials to close everything down. After the snow had finally melted, much to everyone’s surprise, Kimball was hit by another winter storm. For the second time this winter, life in the town of Kimball was brought to a standstill. This time, total snowfall was only about a foot, but ferocious winds up to 60 mph drifted the snow. Throughout the winter storms, it was reported that Kimball has totaled 60.8 inches of snow this season compared to an average total of 27.8 inches. 17 Schools' Right to AIDS, The Major Pope Censor Students Threat! Visits The Supreme Court ruled that a Hazelwood, Missouri, high school principal did not violate students’ free-speech rights, by ordering two pages to be delet- ed from the school newspaper. The court gave public school officials new authority to censor student newspapers and other forms of student expression. AIDS, the frightening disease of the 80’s, is still a threat to all. As 1988 opened, the total number of AIDS cases reported nationwide passed the 50,000 mark and is on the rise. Because it’s growing at a rapid rate among heterosexuals, there has been much publicity encouraging the use of condoms for safe U.S. Sex Scandal Haunts Ministry Televangelist Jimmy Swaggart’s sex scandal created an uproar in the religious scene. Swag-gart, who lost his privilege as a televangelist for one year,paid a prostitute to perform sexual acts. Jesse Jackson — Much Support Reverend Jesse Jack-son, presidential candidate in the Democratic primaries, surprised many people by accumulating much support. Early in the primaries, Jackson supporters. predicted his nomination and the election of the first black president of the Unit, ed States. Pope John Paul II visited the United State to discuss Christian Morality” with the citizens of the United States. Organizers had hoped for a one to two million turnout, but were disappointed when only 300,000 people turned out. Media What You Should Know About Heart Attacks Aspirin Reduce Heart Attacks Studies show aspirin, commonly taken for the common cold, now reduces the of heart attacks when taken every other day. However, those who have high blood pressure are at risk for an aspirin may encourage a heart attack. Stamp Rates Rise Americans now have to pay a quarter to mail a first-class letter. It began April 3; this is estimated to add approximately $10 per year to the average family’s mailing bill. Good News on Wrinkles Retin-A, a prescribed acne medicine, has also been found to reduce wrinkles, erase spots, and give a rosy glow. However, the results are sometimes accompanied by a side effect—occasionally severe patches of redness and peeling on the treated skin occur. Disturbances in Persian Gulf The presence of the United States in the Persian Gulf stirred up quite a disturbance. With the tension building for almost a year, a U.S. ship hit an Iranian mine in the Gulf. The United States then took action against Iran; casualties included two deaths and two damaged ships. Pictured to the right is Gary Hart annoucing his withdrawal from the democratic primaries for the final time. All other pictures are covers of national news magazines depicting major news stories. Ben Jensen Hart Loses Support Democratic presidential nominee Gary Hart lost much of his support when allegations concerning his relationship with Donna Rice emerged. It was alleged that Hart committed adultery and, therefore, lost most of his supporters. He dropped out of the Democratic primary race only to re-enter several months later. Before the allegation, many felt he would be the next Democratic candidate for president. Schools, like many businesses, move out the old to make room for the new.

These 50 graduating seniors had to answer the same questions as those who have marched to “Pomp and Circumstance” before them. What happens now? College? Work? Marriage? The following poem was written by Frankie Reader expressing feelings about the ’39 graduating class. It clearly expresses our feelings about the class of '88. Your going away gives us the blues Cause no one here can fill your shoes No matter what other folks may say We are going to miss you anyway. It’s rather tough to have you leave Because in you we do believe You’ve set a standard for our school We want to live up to this rule. You’ve helped us on beyond compare No school is finer anywhere You’ve played a part in all our fun And made it happy for everyone. Seniors, they say, are spoiled and such James Vaughan is all smiles as he leaves the gym to prepare for the graduation reception. Ar ii it really doesn’t matter much. So we cheer you on and bid adieu For this is our farewell to you.

Girls and guys alike added to their wardrobe and stepped out of style and into fashion. Acid washed jeans were the rage with and without the holes in them. Jean jackets hung around and were seen both on guys and gals. T-shirts took the place of sweatshirts, they were seen everywhere, in a variety of colors and sizes. Then there were the preppies, who gave extra thought to their wardrobe. They were dressed in nicely creased pants, dress shirts, and sweaters, with socks to match. Despite the pick-up in clothes, many kept up the traditions; they wore T-shirts and cut-offs, and were very comfortable. The fads changed with times, but some things will always stay the same. Jewelry sparkled all through the year. Black Hills gold and pearls were the “in” things this year. Guys even wore their share of chains and earrings—despite the critical comments. Despite all the additions and changes, most would agree that their main priority was to be comfortable.

They chose their candy sales just before the Christmas holidays; and as Tiffani Reader described it, “I think selling candy for FBLA was the easiest fundraiser that I’ve done. It was a yummy little Christmas gift.” Nancy Schildhauer thought that the chocolate chip cookies were the easiest to sell for FHA. Prizes, Prizes, Prizes--They proved to be the incentive to Tammy Watts who sold about $350 worth of FBLA candy. For her efforts, she received a small stuffed bear, a t-shirt, and a clock radio. Why is it that many parents have unused popcorn, soup supper tickets, or magazines as reminders of past financial selling ventures? Some students do not like selling items for clubs probably because it was easier for some to “tap” mom and dad than to try the door-to-door salesmen routine. —Jill Stevenson J ason Eatmon, the defense attorney in a mock trial on the FBLA field trip to Denver, tries to convince the jury of Steve Schildhauer's and Stephanie Perry’s innocence.

New band director, new members, new marches, new flag corp, and new music were just some of the new additions the new year brought the band. For the first time Mrs. Cynthe Staehr taught both band and chorus. With the help of the band parents, Mrs. Staehr organized a band retreat, set for August 14 and 15, it included the high school band members as well as the eighth graders--the new members. The band retreat was to help band members get ready for marching during football season. There were new marches to learn, contests, and prizes. New Additions Mariane Rohde said, I thought the band retreat was fun; it helped us a lot. I think they should continue having band retreats. Color and Pizzaz--ac-cording to Mrs. Staehr the seven-member flag team, a new addition, adds color and pizzaz to the marching band. She credited Krista Bashaw with making the corp a success. On October 10 the band traveled to the Scottsbluff Balloon Races. On November 5 the choir traveled to Bayard for an invitational and was named the outstanding choir. On November 18 Allison Dillon participated in the All-State Band and John Schadegg participated in the All-State Choir. Before Christmas the band and chorus gave a concert entitled The Christmas Festival. On March 28 the high school choir had a performance and on April 14 the band again took to the stage. At their final performance, Brian Wilson was awarded the John Phillip Sousa A-ward. A week later, on April 21, the band and chorus traveled to Scottsbluff for the distric music contest.

KC FBLA HS Twelve Years of Leadership Kimball’s chapter of Future Business Leaders of America was 37 members strong and in its twelfth year of existence. Thirty-three members attended the annual field trip to Denver. While in Denver, students and sponsors went to Buns Unlimited, the makers of McDonald’s hamburger buns ; the Denver Post Office; an Imax production at the Museum of Natural History; the Denver City and County Building; and Waste-Tech Industries. One of the many highlights of the trip was at the City and County Building. At the time of the trip, a Perry Mason picture was being filmed at the location; and the group was fortunate enough to sit in on part of the filming. They were able to see many famous Activities spark interest people, including David Odgen Stires and Raymond Burr. In September, all seven officers attended the Nebraska FBLA Fall Leadership Conference in North Platte. While there, they listened to several speakers with success-oriented tips and advice. According to Suzanne Meyer workshops such as this one enable the FBLAer to use what they have learned in order to increase their awareness of carrer-bound youth. During American Education Week in November the FBLA chapter honored teachers in the Kimball School System with a teachers' reception. In December members celebrated the holiday with a caroling and chili party. Those that attended carolled as they rode around Kimball on a hayrack, then they went to the Eagles’ Lodge and warmed up with chili. During the spring a coloring book, designed by Kimball Clean Community System, was duplicated and assembled by willing FBLA workers. Jill Stevenson commented that FBLA proved to be not only a good experience, but also a good time. Opportunities to learn from field trips and to participate in conferences were available to those that chose to join FBLA.

FFA is an organization which, other than sports, is more involved than any or-ganization. FFA has helped bring prestige and credit to our school. Each year their program continues even when school is out, unlike other school activities that have shut down for the summer months. During late May, all the officers attended a workshop at Aurora, Nebraska. In the middle of June, Todd Wilke,president, and Steve Westby, vice presi- State Awards Received dent of the local chapter, traveled to Washington, DC, and attended a leader-ship workshop. While there, they toured the nation's capital. Todd said the trip to Washington was not only educational, but it was a fun trip where they got to see all of the nation’s monuments. When the school year arrived, members had al- ready been attending meetings and competing in contests. Their competitive events continued throughout the year, along with other activities such as the annual soup supper and the donkey ballgame. National FFA week, February 22-29, included a district contest which Kimball hosted. The year came to a close with the annual pancake feed and slave sale; the member-parent banquet with the national president, Kelli Evans, as a guest speaker; and the Tri-State Show.

KC fha HS Mighty Fun and Interesting Small, but mighty fun and interesting” were words used to describe the FHA group by one of the members. Early in the year, nine members traveled to Leyton for district meetings. While there, each of the members went to four sessions. At our meeting in November, Mrs. Nancy McMurray demonstrated proper techniques for applying makeup. According to Amira Stendahl the Christmas party had no seriousness to it, and everyone had tons of fun. The evening consisted of relays, a treasure hunt, and a gift exchange.

It was here again—the rush, rush, rush of dinner theater! On March 8 Miss Cathy Carter supervised the preparation of the food and showed some concern whether all the desserts would arrive on time. Alas, there was nothing to worry about. The desserts arrived on time, and approximately one hundred and fifty people were served without a problem. Members continued the SEARCH projects started last year. Each member participated by giving a presentation on an interesting topic at a meeting.

Mr. Don McCombs and the Student Council again joined the cheering squad in hosting the Homecoming celebration. According to Mr. McCombs, one important goal of the Student Council was to improve relations between students. They want to help new students arriving at KCHS to feel comfortable and a part of our school. Steph Owen The NHS members: FRONT ROW: Lanelle Hcnderson-Pres., Rochael Soper, Angie Lip-pold-V. Pres..

Some do it for love of the sport or the competition. Others go out to stay in shape for the next sport. Some people have dreams of being good enough for a college scholarship. Some go out for the friendships that high school athletics create. Whatever their reasons, they were all able to work together as a team, and to make their season the best it could possibly be. The football team made the state playoffs for the third straight year, when most people were doubting a winning season. The volleyball team was rated as one of the top 10 class B schools in the state throughout the season. The girls’ cross country team finished 8th in the state after a strong season. After an impressive season in wrestling, Mike Perry qualified for state in Lincoln. After seeing all of their hard work and determination, it was obvious that the athletes of KCHS had gotten their stuff together.

That was the transition the cheerleaders intended to make with the introduction of the new cheer coaches, Mrs. Nancy Olsen and Mrs. Deon Evans. These new coaches, armed with new ideas to generate school spirit, helped the cheerleaders involve the students and fans in the cheering. Another goal according to Cheerleader Barbara Hall was to cheer at more wrestling matches than in the past. Wrestler Mike Perry said the matmen really appreciated the extra effort made by the pepsters to attend most of their meets as well as the district competition. According to pep band member Brian Wilson, the pep band and cheerleaders seemed to work more closely together at the ballgames. Selection of the six cheerleaders was made the preceding spring. For the first time varsity cheerleading was opened to freshmen.

It was Who’d have thought that this year’s team would have finished .500, let alone make it to the state playoffs for the third straight year! For the past three years after being picked to finish close to last, the football team has surprised everybody by finishing first in the conference or close to it. The Longhorns had a lot of rebuilding to do with only ten returning varsity letter-men. Although the Longhorns had an experienced backfield, the whole front line had to be rebuilt. Last year’s JV's had to move up and fill the slots, and after a 7-3 record, it appeared that they got the job done. Kimball opened with Torrington, an out of conference game that usually sets the pace for the whole season. Kimball edged by with a one point advantage. Kimball then set their sights on Gering, a conference game in which the Longhorns squeaked by with a victory. Kimball then hit the road to play Alliance, a conference game in which the Longhorns didn’t seem to show up for as the Bulldogs steamrolled the Horns. Kimball didn’t die; they bounced back and shut out Bridgeport. On Longhorn turf the Horns faced Mitchell and tromped the Tigers 36-14. Homecoming was next and who would be the next victim? The Gordon Broncs traveled to Longhorn Stadium only to be handed a 42-20 loss. Kimball then had to venture into enemy territory and face the undefeated and state-ranked Chadron Cardinals. Neither team scored in the first half, but coming out of the locker room it seemed that the Horns had won the pep talk. Kimball scored twice before the Cardinals decided to play football. With 1:54 left, and Chadron up 14-12 it seemed that the Horns were in a hole. Chadron kicked off, and Senior Shane Hargreaves took the kickoff and ran 90 yards for what 37t HOME OPPONENT 8 Torrington 7 22 Oering 20 8 Alliance 32 27 Bridgeport 0 36 Mitchell 14 42 Gordon 20 20 Chadron 14 41 Bayard 7 13 Sidney 18 16 Broken Bow 43 ALL CONFERENCE Craig Lockhom Shane Hargreaves Darin Bucscher Sam Pattison HONORABLE MENTION: CONFERENCE Scott Hillius Robert O’Brien Brent Mayhew KSTF PLAYER OF THE WEEK Craig Lockhorn Shane Hargreaves ALL REGION Sam Pattison Craig Lockhorn Mike Loy Shane Hargreaves Record 7-3 1 Vanity Jook(ja[[ Senior guard Brent Mayhew is escorted to the sidelines by his parents during the annual Senior Parents’ Night. proved to be the winning score: Kimball 20, Chadron 14. The following week Kimball had an easy time of it defeating Bayard. The old nemesis is what some call it; the Sidney Red Raiders handed the Horns their second loss by a score of ISIS. The Longhorns then went on the road for the first round of the state playoffs. Kimball played Broken Bow and lost decisively 43-16. Although the season ended in a disappointing loss in the first round of the state playoffs, the Longhorns proved that they had the heart and determination to be a winning football team. - - Shane Hargreaves Who’s next?

The Longhorns weren't about to give up, though, as they kept fighting to score their own touchdown. Lovesee scored Kimball’s only touchdown for the night and also scored the 2-point conversion.

What A In the season opener, the lady spikers set the pace with a win over Mitchell. They lost the first set but rallied back to win the next two sets. Coach Jody O’Connell felt they played well together and was pleased they didn't fall apart after losing the first game. A big moment for the Lady Longhorns was when they defeated Gering in 2 sets. The victory left Kimball with a 4-1 record, good enough to earn the tenth spot in Class B ratings in the OMAHA WORLD- HERALD. The Ladies then rallied past Morrill to win the Mitchell Volleyball Invitational. The win did not come easy for them since they trailed by six points in the first game and five in the second, but they came back and won 15-10, 16-14, respectively. Cindy Barrett led the serving with 179 good serves and 37 aces. Senior classmate Pennie Magin-nis who scored 138 points led her in the scoring charts. Junior Joann Carlson followed with 109 points at the net. In the passing department, Lori Kile was high with 233 good passes. Krista Bashaw had 197 passes; and Pennie Maginnis, 156 passes.

As an Overall team, Kimball placed eighth at Sidney St. Pat’s and eleventh at the Bridgeport Invitational. According to Keith Staehr, head track coach, the freshman tracksters had an out-standing season. Mike Lippold began his high school track career with a successful freshman season. He set a new freshman record when he longjumped 20’3” at the Mitchell Relays. The previous record (19’11 1 2”) was held by Russ Moore and was set in 1974.

It may be the appearance of the room or the learning atmosphere. A thought for the day in science teacher Mr. Dave Christian’s room sometimes put your mind in gear. A huge Garfield head hung in the business department watches your every move. Mr. A1 E. Gator was the main attraction in Mr. Don Meyer’s science room. Big cheery windows, brightly colored wallpaper, and good smells characterize the home economics room. In Mr. Steve Gilliland’s room everyone knew that most of the time it’s a serious class, while in Mr. Meyer’s room, there was an added bit of humor each day. Rock-n-roll in class?

Yes, they were seniors once even if they didn’t wear color-coordinated shoes with jeans; and they didn’t know what Pepe, Guess or Spirit was. Class rings, hair styles, clothes and entertainment have all changed from past years. Imagine wearing no jeans or slacks to school. According to Mrs. Barb Vogel, at her high school in Omaha the dress code was much different than today. The girls wore dresses while the guys wore nice pants; no one was allowed to wear jeans. What would typing class be without electric typewriters? Well, when Mrs. Nancy Olsen went to school, they didn’t have electric typewriters. They had to use manual ones. Wouldn't school be different if we didn’t have any elective classes or a choice in what we wanted to take? That’s how Mrs. Ardena Regier remembers high school. Her small high school didn’t have band, chorus, typing, home economics, vocational agriculture, industrial arts, or any business classes. Can you imagine all of the guys having the same hair style? Mr. Buford Williams can. When he was in high school, the guys all has butch hair cuts. What would school be like for the girls if there were no girls’ athletics? Mr. Don Meyer remembers when there wasn’t any girls' athletics; when he was in high school, the girls' athletic program finally started to increase. He also recalls an overall decrease in school spirit over the years. Yet. some things never change—senioritis. some sounds of music, dragging main, kids thinking they know more than their parents, and the fond memories of high school. Stcph Owen As we look back over the past four years, we have acquired many qualities that we wish could stay in KCHS in the years to come. The conclusion was drawn, the only possible way to leave these traits behind us would be to “will” them to the underclassmen. The seniors decided to leave the following to their underclassmen as a re-memberance of the class of “88”: I, Kari Hurd, will my ability to talk a lot to Nancy Schildhauer. I, Brad Brower, will my basketball skills to my brother, Kurt Brower. I, Kerry Barker, will my Dodge to Loretta Simms. I, Travis Goff, will my driving ability to have many accidents and not cause any damage: to Dave Rutledge and Travis Shepard. I, Lori Buddecke, will my ability to get away with anything with mom and dad to my little brother, Donnie I, Tanya Secrest, will my grades to my little brother, Troy, because he definitely could use them. I, Cory Vandiver, will to Loretta Simms the ability to smile and have fun throughout high school. I, Julie Williams, will my ability to run a 400 under 65 seconds to Kristy Schepker. I, Pennie Maginnis, will my ability to take things calmly to Kara Brighton. I, Scott Hillius, will my height to Joey Exum. We.

The clock was ticking off one slow minute after another. Each student had different plans and arrangements that they couldn’t wait to begin. The weekend was here at last! Some worked, many attended games or dances, and even a fewfound enjoyment in defying the law: curfews were overlooked and speed limits were broken. As always, there were a few unpopular ways to spend the weekend when some students had no other choice. Working may have not been a favorite, but was an alternative to get some extra spending money. Other unpopular ways of spending the weekend were catching up on homework or doing chores around the house. Although there may have been less excitement for some, there certainly was not less relaxation. Some students stayed up and made an all-nighter” of the weekend nights by watching movies or partying. Some even left town for some excitement. Then what do we have to look forward to? Mondays—back to school for another five long days until the next weekend rolled around.

Some students were chewed out” for fighting in the student center, chewing in school, racing cars in the parking lot, sitting on the tables, running in the halls, and having too many tardies. First offenders or victims with a less offense were just conversed by the principal and released with a little slap on the hand; other students weren't so lucky. Some students with the more serious offense were on occasion suspended for three days from school. Usually the students got through the weeks and managed to avoid the principal’s office, but others weren’t so fortunate and wound up going back to see principal Williams time after time. —Ben Jensen — Junior Derek Lovesee enjoys blowing glass during Mr. Meyer's glass blowing class. union Lovesee-Zornes TO BE UPPERCLASSMEN With Prom, concessions, and magazine sales along with countless hours of homework, juniors constantly found themselves asking, Why us?” Was it really a privilege to finally be upperclassmen, or was it more trouble than it was worth? The junior class started out the year by selling magazine subscriptions to raise money for Prom. Juniors could be seen busily selling magazines, but it wasn’t enough. In addition to selling the magazines, juniors sold concessions at all home games. All juniors were required to sell concessions at least once. At the end of the year, one full week was spent decorating the gym for Prom. The money raised from selling concessions and magazines suddenly disappeared to put on the dance. Juniors Scott Robbins and Mariane Rohde work together on a chemistry experiment in Mr. Meyer’s room. TifTani Reader, Gretchen Bemis, and Stephanie Perry participate in a skit in chorus. In between all of the selling and decorating, homework had to be done. Algebra, geometry, advanced biology, chemistry, and American Literature were just some of the classes many juniors found themselves swamped with homework in. Being juniors was their first taste of being upperclassmen, and most juniors had mixed feelings about it. They were excited to finally be at the top, but they also knew they were in their last half of high school and would soon be moving on. They were left still asking “Why us?” Brent Mayhew Class off 89 Derek Lovesee Suzanne Meyer Jamie Nelson Rich Patterson Mike Perry Stephanie Perry Troy Quicke Tiffani Reader Scott Robbins Mariane Rohde Nancy Schildhauer Larry Shepard Scott Slater Rochael Soper Jon Staehr Amira Stendahl Jill Stevenson Keith Taylor Amy Vann Bob Vincent Todd Wentz Jay Wickham David Williams Michele Wynne Lisa Zornes 4 unit Acheson - McDowall David Acheson Mark Adels Ben Andersen Eddy Andrews Jim Argo Becky Baldwin Scott Barnes Amy Beguin Kenna Brighton Kurt Brower Don Buddecke Penny Buddecke Misty Cleveland Chris Culek Bonnie Dietz Rhonda Dimmick Susan Erickson Lynette Exum Amv Flores Jason Gehrke Trisha Goins Dallen Griffith Reid Hagstrom Michelle Halstead Jenny Hardenbergh Brian Henderson Dalan Hiett William Long Darin Lukassen John McDowall What is the worst thing that has happened to you during your driving experience? “I got a 77 mph speeding ticket in a 55 mph zone.

The police officer gave me a warning for reckless driving and six months probation.” Brower Class of ‘90 Penny Buddeckc works at the public library in her spare time to earn a little extra spending money. Each year, a new group of student drivers spring up in Kimball. Some take drivers ed. others are taught by family members but all are anxious to gain the independence represented by a car. Many students report to the county courthouse to take the test before the long-awaited birthday. Penny Buddecke said that the thought of another test made her very nervous, but she thought it was well worth it. Some sophomores get a little too anxious to drive; therefore, they become involved in accidents. One car had a fight with a pole and another with two trees. Unfortunately, the pole and trees won. Others young drivers had a lead foot and tended to meet up with Mr. Police Officer. Some get lucky and only received warnings, but others were not so fortunate. After sophomores achieved the transition from two feet or two wheels to four wheels, they turned their minds to other things such as ordering class rings and hosting the Twirp Dance, which were also worthwhile contributions. —Ben Jensen — Suspect Jim Argo is questioned about having drugs in his locker by investigating officers Heather Soerensen and Brooke Shutts during the mock trial in Mr. Frank Calise’s American history class.

Procrastination (pro kras‘ te na shen) n. Disease affecting many sophomores (as well as other students at KCHS.) Symptoms of this disease include the nagging tendency of one to put off what one can do today ’til tomorrow (or the day after.) Many sophomores were assigned long-term projects that were to be turned in later. Later is exactly when they told themselves they would get it done-.‘‘Just as soon as I get everything else finished, was a common thought. Everything else” was often neglected as well. By the time ‘‘later’’ came around, it was too late. About this time the ol' Iranian terror-ists-kidnapped-me-and-I-just-got-away (or something to that effect) excuse came in handy. Many teachers were annoyed by this form of laziness, but somehow students almost always managed to get their work done--well at least mostly done. Whether it was cramming for a quiz or copying down some answers just as the tardy bell rang, students usually managed to get by with their laziness. Teachers often prayed that somehow their students would suddenly get motivated enough to actually do their homework. Students realized that procas-tination was a problem, but it was so much easier to just watch T.V. than to do their work. As for this article—well, we can finish it later. — Suzanne Meyer — ohnc Class of ’90 Corey Prescott Lynn Probert Kim Randles Cruz Rodriguez Dave Rutledge Michael Schadegg Melanie Schanaman Kristy Schepker Steve Schildhauer Shelton Schneider Tamara Schoenemann John Shaw Brooke Shutts Heather Soerensen Wade Sterling Amy Stevenson Renae Szakacs Nicole Tisdale Jason Vowers Kevin Whitaker David E.

Troy Janicek assists Alan Gorrie in keeping stats at a freshman football game. Beginning When the freshmen arrived, they realized that a whole new life lay ahead of them when they walked through the doors. They still had their old friends and found new friends with whom they exchanged friendship bracelets. They discovered a new freedom. They had freedom of choice—freedom to choose the classes they wanted and to take the activities they wished to participate in. Freedom of time, later curfews, and the freedom to date. But what would all this free- dom be without added responsibility? There was tardy detention for those who could not make it to class on time. They risked the chance of getting grounded for not being home by the set curfew. They also found that they didn’t always handle the new freedom well. By the end of the year, the freshmen realized that high school was a step in the right direction for their new beginning.

They enjoy doing activities together but they also spend time away from each other. “What is it like to be a twin?” That is a question that Troy and Travis Shepard are asked many times. As with everything else, being a twin has its ups and downs. Freshmen Troy and Travis enjoy being fraternal twins, but they do have their differences. For instance, Troy enjoys going out for sports while Travis takes a closer look at his clothing style and devotes more time to studying. Even though they are twins, they don't act the same. They each have their own personalities and their own friends. Travis stated, “I like being a twin because we can borrow each other’s clothes.” Would you like to be a twin?

Several of the teachers looked to Garfield to brighten their day. Mr. Frank Calise indicated Garfield reminded him of some of his students. Could it be he thinks they think too much about weekends rather than school or that they may be a tad lazy? Mrs. Nancy Olsen said she likes cats. Mr. Don Meyer, science teacher, shared a favorite Better Half cartoon that he could relate to himself: the husband states that his diet includes stuffed celery—so he stuffs the celery with ice cream, hot fudge, and whipped cream. So, as you can see the teachers need more than their students to get them through the day or maybe they need the funnies because of their students. __________________—Jill Stevenson — Steve Gilliland Barry Heaton Roland Hendricks Dale Hendrickson Darryl Kile Loran Kramer Helen Kuhlman Shari Lindgren Don McCombs Joann Menard Don Meyer Karen Munoz Yes, Calvin and Hobbes is funny, and I’m sure there is a deep psychological reason why a cute, psychotic, schizophrenic, paranoid young boy with a tendency to hallucinate and throw fits of rage should appeal to me.”-Mr. Mike Murphy- Do you read the funnies and why? “Usually I get my chuckles by grading papers, but occasionally I read the funnies. ‘The Far Side' looks at the funny side of a wide variety of subjects.

Christian honey came to Kimball. Mr. Dave Christian, science teacher, had an unusual summer job that turned into a hobby. For the past ten or eleven years, Mr. Dave Christian worked for his grandfather in Scottsbluff caring for his grandfather’s bees. After his grandfather sold his bees, Mr. Christian acquired eight hives of his own. He now has approximately 400,000 pet bees (give or take a few thousand). Mr. Christian said he removes the honey about twice a summer and can get as much as 180 pounds of honey to as little as 40 pounds from one hive. In addition to removing the honey, other time must be spend with the bees. Mr. Christian commented, “I learn new things about beekeeping every day. The bees themselves are incredible creatures with a very complex society. I enjoy them because they are very tolerant of me. Where else can I find thousands of creatures who literally work themselves to death for me for little or no pay? I feel that people can learn a lot from bees. They are industrious, diligent and selfless; and in the end, give themselves for the good of the entire community.” -Tiffani Reader -Jill Stevenson Principal Jerry Williams takes time out of his busy schedule to help announce a reserve football game.

It Was A Change t 5 Do you feel like every day you come to school, you are getting evaluated? Well, this year it was the teachers' and administrators’ turn. Once every seven years there is a North Central evaluation conducted by the North Central Associate of Schools. The first phase of the evaluation was a self-study in which faculty, students and community persons examined all aspects of the school system. The final process was an external study. An external team composed Superintendent Darryl Kile addresses the staff and members of the North Central Evaluation. of 23 members from various school districts and a representative from the Nebraska State Department of Education traveled to Kimball to judge our school system. The areas looked at included curriculum, administration and board processes, food, guidance and other supportive services. In the past KCHS received a AA accreditation, this is the highest standard of accredida-tion that the state awards for quality education. There are only 34 schools in Nebraska that are recognized as having a AA accredited school, and KCHS is one of them. Students enjoyed the process as they were given several afternoons out of school because the teachers had to meet to discuss the procedure. Remember how you dreaded semester tests. Well, the teachers dread this evaluation as much as, if not more than, students dread semester tests. Shane Hargreaves 109 Corey Bueschcr sits quietly while studying in the computer room.

More than Just a Class Although subjects like social studies and science are required, many students agree that they can be more than just a class. Mr. Ken Smith's Psychology class observed the social interaction of students during a Christmas party. Even Mr. Frank Calise’s American history class took a few days off from their regular schedule to enact a drug trial. Stu- dents were selected to serve as defendants, attorneys, and witnesses. Mr. Calise also offered interested juniors a visit to the courthouse.They accompanied county officials to see how their offices were run. These would-be officials acted as judges, commissioners, treasures, clerks, law enforcement officers and many other officials who are housed in the courthouse. Mr. Dave Christian’s Biology students took the opportunity to learn more with some hands-on work when they dissected worms, frogs, and pigs. Who could forget when Mr. Don Meyer's Chemistry crew had the chance to watch “Spirit Bombs” explode on game days? Stacy Morgan CV 8 O Our Choice and Challenge Among those classes listed as academics that were not required was yearbook production. Fourteen of us, with Julie Williams at the helm, made it one of our selections. Because it consisted of responsibility and or-ganization, yearbook was definitely a challenge. Most of us came into the class unaware of this; but with a little help from each other and advisor, Mrs. Ber-nadine Reader, we made it through. Each staff member worked on a five-deadline schedule. For each deadline, a layout and approved copy were submitted. Sending copy was a hassle at first because the modem was not working and the postal service wasn’t as fast as we would have liked. Finally, all the equipment was in working order; and we rolled on like pros. Seeing the finished pages was definitely a reward of self-satisfaction for all.

Only a decade ago when one thought of home economics, things like cooking and sewing came to mind. Today, home economics is much more than that due to a new approach taken by many home economics teachers, according to Ms. Cathy Carter. The new curriculum is based on practical reasoning of today’s problems. Students are encouraged to take a rational approach to decision making, and to think of what’s best for them as well as other people. They’re not just learning facts and relaying them back to the instructor any more. There are fewer areas covered, but they are covered in much greater depth than before. The idea is that the student isn’t going to be able to use a lot of the informa- tion learned if they don’t learn how to make practical decisions and be able to justify those decisions. According to Ms. Carter, home economics teacher at KCHS, “We’re not eliminating textbooks by any means, but are giving students access to gathering information from a variety of sources, and assuming responsibility for their decisions based on that information.” Brent Mayhew 115 vm Andersen, Ben (10)- 2, 51, 52, 59, 60, 75, 96 Andrews, Eddy (10)- 96 Appleby, Bonnie (09J-100 Appleby, Mike (12)- 83, 85 AQUALIBRIUM--n.

Sheila Elrod 123 a Look at All Memories We’ve put the finishing touches on another year; some of us are sad at its passing; others amazed at how quickly the year passed, while others are ecstatic to be free of its daily routine. But no matter if it’s our first or last year in high school, we’ll all look back and have memories--good and bad. Remember the Iran Contra Scandal and the testimony of Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North, or when the troops were sent to Honduras? Remember how it was the first year that the fright of AIDS caused the publicity of condoms encouraging safe sex? Remember how tough Mr. G’s quizzes were, or how much fun Mr. Meyer made all of his classes, or what Miss Carter had to en Jensen shows off the result of his three car accidents which all B occurred in one week.

There were many changes in the music department with Cynthe Staehr at the helm. Remember the trouble the senior guys got in because of the senior class picture? Remember all of the spaghetti the guys consumed EVERY Tuesday night at the Pizza Hut, or what about all of the noise we had to put up with because of the roof work that was being done, or the playboy bunny painted on the back of Dave Rutledge’s car (at least until it snowed)? Remember the surprise of everyone when Shane Hargreaves got his hair cut so short? Try not to forget Ben Jensen, and how he managed to wreck his car three times in one week! Speaking of accidents, what about the time Eddy Evertson, Mike Loy, and Darin Buescher were all on crutches at the same time, and how they use to race down the hall? We’ll always remember the THRILL and sadness of graduation. These are some of the memories that will be with us forever. CCoiing Steph Owen Traci Williams Darin Buescher tiptoes around the pylons and watches for falling debris. Ben Jensen, Mike Loy, Donnie Bud-decke, and many others show some of the fun and cxcitment we've all had at K.CHS. Some of our classmates help Shane Hargreaves get all wrapped up in a reserve football game. The time has come, the day is here. We’re finally done with another school year! As we look back we remember it all: KHS and the carpet on the wall. We had some fun at the band retreat; when it was done we were all beat. Sitting in class we thought it was the end as we looked up and saw the ceiling bend. The day we’ve waited for came too soon. Now we’re headed for the month of June. Let’s have a ball while the summer’s here before we’re back «oS ' ,c fece ’ -ttac' for another school year. Sheila Elrod inaf
