Kingston High School - Xenolith Yearbook (Kingston, MI)

Text from Pages 1 - 120 of the 1981 volume:

, t. « 4f Changing for the Times Even though the world around us is getting much tougher, so are the students at KHS. Unemployment means that there is no mon- ey, but that does not stop KHS students. They're still going to college, making careers for themselves, and finding jobs. With life itself getting harder to bear, the life inside our school walls is growing. Spirit here at KHS is being promoted, sports have made a turn for the better and the students themselves have grown. As our world and life styles change, so does our school. All of us are Changing for the Times. Role reversals and adaptions to trying times are demon- strated here by (above) )ason Koehler on slave day and (below) Mr. Priestap and Ron Mouton at an off moment. It used to be the gals' legs that received all the attention, but Jamie Silvernail changes the table around here for the road race. Who put that garbage on? asks Dave Dresser. Change it to some A-C D-C. Janet Heron, Faye Gilmore, and Louisa outside enjoy- ing a change of seasons. Theme 2 Cameron Robinson changed his life style as he left Flint's city life behind and went country 'No thanks! I'm full, says Lisa Roberson to the worm offered her. Education itself is changing as evidenced here in group work lead by senior. Dale Sullins. Changing: Compact Efficient and Intelligent Everything around us is changing; days, people, the economy and most of all, our way of life. The world that we're living in now is made up of 14.5% unemployment, and $1.40 or more gas prices with daily threats of even more. The prime lending rate con- tinues to fluctuate around the 19% level. These are things that students, parents, and teachers must all adjust to in order to keep changing for the times. Teachers are human too, shown here by Miss Lehman and Marcie Kelly. Ron Wolak thinks physics problems sure beat counting bricks on the walls of study hall. Theme 3 Here is to You Mr. Vohsen . . . And Thanks! A teacher respected for his advice and coun- sel; a well traveled man of kindness and under- standing; an unpretentious example of candor and justice, who scorns hypocrisy, a solid rock of consistency and high idealism; a man who be- lieves teaching is an exchange of knowledge from teacher to student and from student to teacher; for 10 years a mentor to his chil- dren — To you Mr. Vohsen, we dedicate this book. Born and raised in the industrial, fi- nancial, and transportation center of Montreal, Canada, Mr. Vohsen amassed his evidently splendid educa- tion from schools located not only in the United States, but abroad as well, studying in Detroit, Philadelphia, and Belgium. Leaving his position with the United States Postal system, his desire was to relocate in Michigan's Thumb area. He secured a position with the Kings- ton School system in 1971; function- ing as an English, French and Govern- ment teacher. Mr. Vohsen is a teacher in the real sense of the word, believing the pri- mary purpose of a school is to edu- cate and mentally prepare the stu- dents for the world they must face upon graduation. One of his strong beliefs in education, is the mainte- nance of discipline in the classroom, knowing that this is one of the neces- sities for success in life itself. Government became his favorite class to teach, but now he enters his retirement. He feels that he can look back at his time spent at Kingston High School and say he believes he has been a fair and qualified teacher. For this, he would like to be remem- bered, and so he will. Here's to you Mr. Vohsen! 4 Dedication KALEIDOSCOPE 1981 Table of Contents Theme............................... 1 Dedication............................4 Student Life Curriculum.............7 Activities...........................15 Tribute to Mr. Robinson..............19 Outstanding '81 Achievements......2021 Administration.......................33 Seniors..............................39 Underclassmen........................55 Sports...............................77 Year in Review......................112 Advisor: Mr. Schreiber Derek Morell Pat Creason Lisa Benedict Wendy Cooper Karl Traster Year Book Editor: Faye Gilmore Assistants: Bobbi Miller Julie Galubenski Staff Vicky Engler Cindy Everett )anet Heron Melody lohnson Drenda Marquardt Shirley Miller Bill Miracle Sue Socha Dale Sullins James Townsend Yearbook Staff 5 Thumb Hide and Fur Company 8-6 Mon. through Sat. 805 South Banner Road, Sandusky, Ml.

Mr. Whittaker, Mr. Schreiber, Mrs. Whittaker, know that a general knowlege of science can be very valuable today. As science teach- ers, they try to stress the impor- tance of science to us. Perhaps one day, one of their stu- dents might discover life on an- other planet, or a cure for cancer. You never know . . . What is for dinner, honey!? Worms or grasshoppers? Well, I don't know, let's try the pickled squid. Mr Whittaker - physics, chem- istry, general science. Mrs Whittaker — 8th grade science, bio- logy botany.

But easy is not always best and we understand that a little hard work now may pay big dividends later. These English teachers, along with others; like Mr. Vohsen, have done all they could to learn'' us about our language. Can you tell me, though, is a gerund a noun substi- tute or some new found, scientific combi- nation of ground and air? Oh well, I guess it's try again next year! One sure thing — even if the players and coaches of this game change from time to time the rules remain the same.

Mr. Mutnansky —Drafting, U.S. History, Welding, and Driver's Training Although our school believes in the need for good academic classes, we do not overlook the importance of working with our hands. These classes aid in a well rounded education for our students. Along with a good edu- cation, they get a chance to show their special talents or skills and may- be use them later in life as a means of making a living or saving money.

Carnes that we were unable to get a good picture of you. The truth is, it's just not an easy thing to do. The first time we tried, the film, which included many important administration shots, suddenly refused to advance, after taking your picture. The same thing oc- curred in a later third roll. If you're wondering, the entire second roll was blank! Faye Gilmore, yearbook editor, really helped pick the yearbook up off the floor this year.

Our 1980 Homecoming King and Queen, laime Silvernail and Wendy The 1980 Prince and Princess was Paul Galbenski and Sherri Walker Cooper. The first place float was taken by the Sophomores. Their theme was KHS Does It Again. It was a wonderful job done by a good class. 16 Activities The 2nd place float was taken by the seniors, May the Force Be with you. The 3rd place float was taken by the freshman, We have re- turned The 5th place float was taken by the 8th grade We came, we The 4th place float was by the juniors, Warriors Ask not for saw, we conquered whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

Activities 17 A Night of Leadership As shown above by upper classmen and to the left by Miss Lehman, Mr. Robin- son, Mr. Peet, and Bill Miracle, Leader- ship Night is a time of talking, listening, and most of all, thinking. For one special night; at least, those in power sit down and discuss ways to keep our school one of the best in the area. Without those who care so much for our school, great as it is, would not be nearly so sound. We need you leaders. Leadership night is often a time for working and thought. It's this willingness to work and try to find ways to make our school better; that makes our leaders special. Let's hope they always work this hard for our classes! But, the job is not their's alone. We must all do our part to keep our school growing, and as demonstrated, in the picture to the right by Sue Randall, Mike Weitschat, Della Marquardt, and Shelly Engler, both are looking good! m ....... TOGETHER, We zai?e zflrf Activities 19 For the first time at Kingston, a student was accepted at West Point Academy. Bill Miracle is an outstanding student in his own right, and a true miracle indeed. Two of the main reasons why Bill was accept- ed at such a well-known school of higher educa- tion, were his academic and athletic achieve- ments. He participated and lettered in track and football for all four high school years. He has had numerous awards for these athletic achieve- ments including a state honorable mention in football, and an all conference for football. He was a member of the baseball team and a King Candidate for Homecoming. By ending his senior year with a 3.75 grade point average, he placed in the fourth spot in the top ten graduates. Having been an honor student every year, it was not surprising that he was also a National Merit Scholarship finalist and a Michigan scholarship semi-finalist. So Bill, we wish good luck and happiness as you pursue your goals in the future. You are truly an outstanding student. Outstanding In the beginning, there was chaos and then . . there was Mr. Robinson. This unique individual seemed to come out of nowhere to save our slowly sinking school. He brought back spirit and pride here to K.H.S. It seemed like almost too large a task for one man to accomplish, but in his six years here; one as assistant principal and 5 as principal, Mr. Robin- son has improved our school greatly. He has ac- tively participated in improving our sports pro- gram by coaching varsity track and junior high basketball. He initiated and participated in the Greater Wilmot to Kingston Road Race. He has also brought back some discipline and respect to our school. Most importantly, he has given us a school that we love and are proud of! We at Kingston wish the Robinson's best of luck in years to come. Thank-You! We would also like to thank Mrs. Robinson for all the excellent ideas she has come up with over the years, that have helped us learn about English. ).H. English has been a big job that was well done by you, Mrs. R. Thanks! 20 Activities Seventh Graders Claim Three Undefeated Seasons! Achievers Varsity Track Teams Rise To League Champs! The Best of Times As shown above by Kenton Kelly, Melanie Raymond, and others, a prom is a time to be close to someone and like; to touch and show you care Below: Janet Heron and Dale Sullins discuss good times with others. Doreen Morell and friend, Carey Snellenberger, sit back and watch the action for awhile G.W. to K. Roadrace The 3rd annual, Greater Wilmot to Kingston Road Run,” was as big an event as ever. This year even more participants took part in the festivities. Medals were given to the first three places for each class and age group, for both male and fe- male; instead of two places as in past races. lack Barden was the first to finish and his sister, Jill, was the first female finisher. All who ran in the race turned out to a winner, however. Activities 23 National Honor Society students have a three point or higher grade average. There is only a certain percent of the classes eligible: 30% of the seniors, 20% of the juniors, and 15% of the sophomores. The students are se- lected by a committee of 4 staff members and Mr. Priestap. They are selected not only by their grade point average, but also by what they've done for their class; their schol- arship abilities, leadership, character and their service. Each candidate is carefully screened and the final selections are truely some of the best all around students in the school.

We remember the little things; like Mr. Smith's speeches, wiggles, and so called good jokes. Remember when you faked like you were playing and Mr. Smith stopped and made you play alone? Don't forget your first band concert, when you froze because there was a whole 50 people in the audience. Our band had serious times too, though, like when we practiced super hard to receive a 1st division band rating at Mayville with 28 straight A's. Most of all, we will all remember how much band meant to us, and especially how hard Mr. Smith and Mr. Parker worked to make us a great band. Who me? I know I’m cute! Sr Band showing their spirit at Homecoming. Activities 27 Yearbook and . . . Where's my layout? Is the copy done yet? I lost the picture —can you get me an- other one? These questions are just a few of what is heard throughout each day in yearbook class. Putting together a yearbook is hard work. The yearbook staff has had its good times and bad, but we pulled through them all and together we came up with another Kingston High School yearbook; one we are very proud of, too! This year the Journalism staff has been a real team. We all worked very hard to- gether, producing our school paper. In or- der for our staff to be proud of this paper, sometimes we had to work extra hard. But even with ups and downs and pressure, our team stuck together. I think we all learned a lot from this class throughout the year, but most of all we learned how to work together, under different and often difficult circumstances. 28 Activities Copy, Caption.

Here are a few of Beth's parting thoughts . . . After graduation, I plan to attend the Word of Life Bible Institute for a year and am uncertain about what I'll do after that. I am very thankful that I attended a good school like Kingston, it offered me a pleasant en- vironment with a strong academic program. One of my goals for the future is to reach out more to people. Our 1980-81 Salutatorian is Miss Karen Sims, daughter of Rev. and Mrs. Eugene Sims. She has earned herself a grade point average of 3.95. Here are her graduating thoughts to us . . . ”1 plan to study data processing at Schoolcraft College in Livonia and become a computer programmer. I feel KHS has pre- pared me in more ways than academically. I have appreciated the caring attitude of the KHS teachers toward their students' educa- tion. One of my main goals in life is to help other people find real happiness.

Seniors 47 Shawn Parker Right - Audrey Ahern studying in the library What is the average Senior of '81 like? Is there an average Senior or is each totally different? Let's say that maybe everyone is similarly different. They are similar in the way they dress; jeans and sweaters, the way they talk; “how sick, fine then , the music they listen to; 96 FM, and the friends they have. They are different because their inter- ests range from farming to pinball. In time, each will discover who they are.

Because this is the last chance they have to make something of themselves and their education. Their minds are filled with thoughts of how they are going to further their edu- cation and or make a living. Studying, so they will have as good a chance as any- one to get a job and fight the unem- ployment problem. For this and many other reasons, such as the overall economic situation, life seems unfair to these future young Americans. So they must keep studying and fighting for their place in life.

Williams — Juniors — Knowing that next year they will be Seniors, the Juniors have pre- pared themselves for that special year that now awaits them. A chance to grow and mature, to become what they alone could be, lies before them. A time to im- prove, obviously, but the danger of falling flat on their faces, also, exists. A few will reach for the top; many will not dare to try. The Ju- niors did make several good im- provements this year and look as if they are gearing up for a great senior year. As the student body, we should do everything we can to support their quest for the top. Underclassmen 57 Polewach Store Marlette, Mich. Levi Headquarters for the whole family.

The 1980 Cardinal squad had several seniors playing in key posi- tions. Although they represented a great deal of leadership and exper- ience, four three year letter win- ners; the circumstances, breaks, or whatever you want to call it, just never seemed to go their way. 78 Sports lason Koehler steps back as his line blocks with intentions of damage I • « Scoreboard 1980 Cardinals 0 wins, 7 defeats many close games but still we wait for that one sweet Football is not an easy sport. It's very tough, and physically demanding. It's even harder when the number of guys out is low and seasonal records are grim. You, as an outsider, have no idea what playing football at K.H.S., for Mr. Rea means. It means hard work but also a very tight bond of emotion, love, and friendship. The players know what sacrifices they made, and so do the coaches. Remember, graduating Seniors, that last Kinde game when every single person on that field gave more than their all for you.

Mr. Peet stepped in to really help give a lift to the J.H. portion of our football program. His enthu- siasm and knowledge of the game played a major role in their campaign for an undefeated season. Large numbers and exceptional talent proved too much for even larger schools like Deckerville and Genesee. The team was lead offensively by Paul Galbenski, tailback, who also, like many others, did more than his share of hitting on Defense.

Basketball Even with the impressive 13-5 record that the J.V.'s ended up with, things were almost better. Under the aggressive basketball techniques of Coach Mike Rea, they got off to a fantastic first half of the season. Then the loss of four key starters; two with injuries and two to Varsity, slowed their winning rate some- what. The bench proved more than adequate in most cases; however. This team was well tu- tored in the winning ways of basketball and no doubt will make a very productive Varsity unit next year. Freshman Basketball The freshmen worked very hard this year to join the ranks of the rest of the winning bas- ketball teams at K.H.S. Their 7-4 did not come easy; however. Four of their games were decid- ed by two point margins. Lead by team captains, Bryan Camp- bell and Keith Richter, the fresh- men combined a 49 points per game average with a successful full court press to outpower most of their opponents. The highlight of their season was un- doubtedly the last game of the year. Against Brown City, a team that had defeated them by fourteen points earlier in the year, the freshmen got tough and held B.C. to 31 pts. in an impressive 36-31 victory. There seems to be a lot of interest generated towards that small round ball during this JV game against CPS. J.H. Sparkles! 7th Grade Undefeated and unchallenged, tournament winner and great bench strength, the seventh graders had it all! This year, they put up a perfect 12-0 record. Coach Robinson did another great job with these —the youn- gest of the Cardinals, but re- fused to take all the credit. With these guys it's not wheth- er we're going to win or not, they just wanted to know how they were to do it. The sev- enth grade, led by the offensive strengths of Dave Green and others, simple overpowered most of their opponents and nobody, outside of Sandusky, even came close to challenging this fine young team. 8th Grade Under Coach Lee Robinson, the eighth grade team wound up a fine 8-4 season. This team does not take losing easily and fought very hard all season long to avoid it at all cost. Reese, a good team that managed to narrowly defeat these cardinals early in the year, shot the lights out at K.H.S. but still the eighth graders fought off challenge after challenge and emerged an overtime winner. Get ready high school fans —because next year, here they come! Sports 95 Despite very good pitching and sound defense, the varsity baseball players ended the regular season with a 6 and 8 mark in league play. The hitting was the only weak point in an otherwise sound ball club. This year's MVP was lason Koehler. The Cardinal award winner was junior, Darren Matthews. Other fine performances were turned in by left handed pitch- ing ace, Todd Remsing, jim Legg and Wade Campbell. The junior varsity ended their sea- son with a league record of 4 and 1. Their season was highlighted by last inning heroics against Deckerville, where they scored five runs in the last inning to win the game 5-4. The team steadily progressed throughout the season, but had the misfortune of having many of their games rained out. (Late note: Varsity won districts beating CPS 12-8 and A.F. 13-6.)

Schretber Closing 111 '81 in Review We live in changing times, you and I. We are caught up in a world whose people, and lifestyles change. No one knows when or if these changes will ever end. Throughout this 1980-81 year, we have seen many changes take place. Some of these will probably remain in our minds for the rest of our lives. Others, will prob- ably be forgotten by us all. Nonetheless, we all have, or will, experience them sometime in our lives. In this particular year, we experienced a change in government when President Carter was badly defeated by Ronald Reagan. The draft had been brought back into effect and many held their breath. John Lennon, a former Beatle, was murdered at a time when we need his type of music most. There was; however, the long awaited coming home of the fifty-two American hos- tages held in Iran. Poland organized unions and Russia grew worried. Without a doubt, our school experienced numerous changes, also, especially in sports. Nearly every team in the school improved over its previous record. Our academic program was put into a place of promi- nence, as the first annual Quiz Bowl was brought to our school. This step brought us towards building up our academic program and getting students to be proud of the fact that we here at KHS are not only good looking and athletically talented, but also very intelligent. Maybe in the future, we will all put forth the same drive and determination of our track team, that rose from an expected also ran to league champs, or the cunning intelligence of Bill Miracle, now on his way to West Point. In other words, KHS students know how to go after it and when they decice to, very few can even come close to stopping them. 112 Year in Review ■ r -c • %•
