I think we should appreciate the excellent faculty we have at this school. I feel privileged being President of a school like this. Being President gave me a different point of view. That point of view helped me improve as a person and as a leader. l feel we had a strong Student Council to back me up. I hope this has been a good year for you, and that the years to come will also be successful. Thanks for the great 1986-1987 school year. Thanks! I y,.,,,a,z.., Dean J. Colvig Student Body President Dear Fellow Students: As we look back on the 1986-1987, school year we remember all the things that made this year special. Looking back at this year's yearbook, l hope you'll be reminded of the faculty, friends, and classmates in years to come. I would like to congratulate the graduating class of Kingman Junior High School and wish you luck in the future. Sincerely, Ofawzw Laura Grossman Yearbook Editor 2 Letters 'Q We dedicate this book to Ralph Li ghtwine The 1986-87 Yearbook Staff, and the Kingman junior High School student body and faculty wish to dedicate this book to Mr, Ralph Lightwine, who is retiring this year after many years of service to Kingman and the students of Kingman junior High School. In all, Mr. Lightwine has been teaching for 25 years, sharing his insights and knowledge, and helping us to grow as individuals and responsible citizens. He helped start and build many important parts of our school program, including the yearbook, Student Council, and the gifted program. We will miss seeing him in the classroom and the halls every day, but his love for students will remain for years to come. Thank you, Mr. Lightwine, and we hope that, by your example, we will pass along these gifts to future generations. We wish you health and happiness in your retire- ment! THE Last-rrvvxme.

On the surface he may seem tough, but underneath he has a soft spot in his heart for his students.

Time is what makes us drag ourselves out of bed to go to school in the morning. Time is what we have to grow and mature. Without time, our world would be stuck in one place. lt gives us the patience to learn and succeed. With all the seconds in a minute and all the minutes in an hour, we are able to achieve all we want - it just takes time. Time is our most valuable resource. No matter what we do, we cannot get back or re-use time that has gone by. As we look ahead, the future seems a lifetime away. As we look back, the past seems to have come and gone too quickly. We can't capture time, but, with a little help, we can capture memories. Travel with us now down the halls of Kingmanjunior High through a typical day of a very special year, 1986-87. Relive the people, the places, the work, and the fun. We hope this book will help you look back at your years at Kingmanjunior High and remember the good times. R T 5.

When the going gets tough around here, the tough get going, and these folks must REALLY be tough to keep up with the pace of running a junior high. When you've got trouble, or want to stay out of it, see Mr. Byram or Mr. Reaves. Our head teacher, Mrs. Byfield, knows whatls going on and keeps us informed on the rules and listens to even our little problems. The secretaries are very understanding of our wants and needs, and keep track of our whereabouts all day long. The school board makes sure we have good teachers, classrooms, books, and materials to learn with. With this kind of support, we can't help but have a great year!

The seventh graders keep their feet planted firmly on the ground while they learn about the microscopic universe inside living things. They explore the miniature worlds of cells and how these little factories work in plants and animals alike. The highlight of the year for most seventh graders is taking scalpel in hand to view the inner workings of a frog - that is, unless your science class comes right before lunch. Leaving planet earth, eighth graders fly to distant galaxies, stars, and planets, then return home to study the air, land, and water of our own world. Students exercise their creativity while constructing volcanoes, pumpkin-head space creatures, and even dinosaurs. Hopefully, learning about how special our planet is will help us appreciate it and ourselves more. ,.

We also do spelling assignments and take spelling tests, but those really aren't so had, once you get used to them. l One: Debbie Mowery recites The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere for Mrs, Parker's literature class, Twozjason Fuller checks out one of our library's many fine reading selections.

One by one, the contestants were eliminated, until only two remained. The spelling bee 'stung' Sobia Kalim when she missed the word chauffeur , yet was sweet as honey to Nate Urquhart when he correctly spelled the word chemicalize . In january, students from around the district converged on KJHS for the District Spelling Bee. After a see-saw battle, seventh grader Amna Ahmad claimed victory over eighth grader Renee Griffin. Amna, Renee, and a number of other KJHS students earned the right to represent our district at the County Spelling Bee in February. Congratulations to all our great spellers, and thanks to all the teachers and parents who helped them prepare! Third Period Spelling 47 First a of School by Royal Sipe On the first day of school, I was a little bit nervous, but not much. I caught the bus in the morning and began my trek - a journey that would bring me face-to-face with the most feared thing in the galaxy . . . SCHOOL! I arrived with only two minutes to battle my way through the crowds and get to my first destination. I dodged him and I dodged her all the way up the massive expanse known as The Seventh Grade Hall . I found my locker - it seemed safe enough. I turned my combination right-left-rightg it wouldn't open. Had I forgotten my combination? Was the lock jammed? Had someone switched locks? I had to find out. One of the giant guards came over, and asked for the Top Secret info. I told him, and he slowly turned the lock - click, it fell open. I quickly opened the metallic door, then the much-feared school books stared at me as though warning me of the danger that awaited. But I had no choice. I had to take a chance. I grabbed my first book and dashed down the now empty hall. The hours that followed were indescribable. I saw some that survived the dangerous ordeal of sixth grade. We joined forces to battle the oncoming onslaught of the enemies' attacks, until that awful piece of paper with those alien letters separated us. I was once again alone in a cold, dark, harsh world. I was attacked by both the enemy and my fellow voyagers. Then, out of nowhere, came that ear-piercing sound, the one that signaled departure from this ominous place into the civilized world. I returned once again to that metal box that imprisoned the alien books, the school books. I opened it, grabbed my pack and my solar ray blocking cap, then, as ifto settle the fight, it bit me! Blood started seeping from my hand. I managed to make it back to my home base, back to safety. It was a terrifying trip, but I survived. Until this day the scar remains, a memory of that first day in battle. The characters of this story are trueg they really happened, and even today this battle is fought. English What's that? Me? Diagram? Why ME - that'll be my end! Oh no, not a race. If I mess up, my whole row will hate me forever. And you say that next year I have to do a research paper? HELP! Maybe I can just skip eighth grade and go straight into high school. What? The verb in the sentence? Which sentence? Um, let's see, purswids . . . perswads . . . PERSUADES! No? How about RUNS? I'm on page 114, what page are you on? Oops - everyone else is on page IZ. This time I'll get her. I'll pretend not to be paying attention and when she calls on me, I'll surprise her and know the answer. Rats - she called on Mary. I KNEW that one, too. Oh, no! She just called on me again and I was daydreaming. Brrr-rrring! Saved by the bell! 48 Fourth Period - English new +11 M. rw: One: Preparing for oral presentations, Tina Wisdom and Janice Mertes get some assistance from Miss Laslavic. Three: Students from Mrs. Zoeller's Class make good use of their library time to do some required research.

Of all the subjects we take, Math is one of the most practical - we use it every day at home, shopping, playing games, and nearly everywhere else. We have learned a lot of important things this year, like how to fill out income tax forms, and how to solve really hard word problems like the ones we see in real life. Of course, we also had to take all of the different state math tests, sometimes two or even three times. Our teachers stuck with us though, and helped us become successful.

Dividing the band this way has made it much easier to select appropriate music and work individually with the students. This has also been a very busy year for our musicians. For the first time, KJHS played host to the Northwest junior High Large Group Music Festival, bringing together bands, orchestras, and choirs from all over northwest Arizona to perform and compete. Both the band and chorus have attended many festivals and concerts around the state, including their parents and the KJHS student body. The hard work of Mr. Austin and Mr, Boone is greatly appreciated by all. l One: Soloist jennifer Oswalt entertains the student body at the annual Christmas concert.

For students who would like to work or travel south of the border, there's no other class as practical as Spanish. Mrs. Holland works hard with her classes to help them learn the vocabulary and grammar of Spanish, so that they can understand and speak the language properly. She also shares lessons on Spanish and Mexican culture to help students learn about the customs and culture of Spanish-speaking people. The most enjoyable lesson of all is making - and then breaking - an authentic pinata at Christmas time. Chess is like learning a new language too - a language of logic. Mr. Dearborn teaches his students basic rules and strategy, and then they practice, practice, practice.

Putting it All Together It takes a lot of work to put together a yearbook, and a lot of people - twenty- three, to be exact. Each student has to be a writer, a designer, a computer expert, and a photographer. Our advisor, Mr. Kendall, editor, Laura Grossman, and assistant editor, Greta Fruhling, keep everybody working hard to meet all our deadlines. The most fun of all is taking pictures, because we sometimes get out of class and visit other classes. On the other hand, writing copy is the hardest job of all, because you have to write it over and over and over until you get it right. In fact, the only time We really get to relax at all is after the final deadline, when everything is all mailed off to the printer! 64 Electives - Yearbook ex . xo S Al 0 vfjf 5 ' -5 M X 'LLW - i i i k K, L li i it The Bobcat In order to produce a school newspaper, the journalism staff must do a lot of work. First, members of the staff are assigned articles and they gather information from many sources, such as other students, teachers, and popular magazines. After our articles are written up, we type them on computers and print them. Once all of the articles have been printed, staff members work in small groups to lay out the paper and Mrs. Holland makes the stencils to run off the paper from. Finally comes the biggest job of all - running off, stapling, and delivering over seven hundred copies of the Bobcat. This year's paper has continued to improve, with more and better photos, monthly activity calendars, more articles and features - even its own comic strip!
