Kinsley High School - Kihischo Yearbook (Kinsley, KS)

Text from Pages 1 - 224 of the 1983 volume:

Art masterpieces start when the first brush stroke is put on the canvas. It takes hundreds of such brush strokes to achieve the desired effect. With the first day of school, the students and faculty members began shaping their year and creating their own masterpiece. The final shape would depend on how they chose to form it from the start. The quality of the year — good or bad, fun or boring, success or failure — rested on how hard everyone was willing to work for a successful year. Far top left: Preparing their ensemble for band contest are Shelby Shanks, Amy Brokar, and Tina Bratton. Far bottom left: Jeff Peterson works on his class assignment. Middle: Before classes start in the morning, Karen McGinnes studies in the hall. Left: Dan Anderson loses the ball in a layup attempt.

The group sponsored the annual initiation dance in August, held a Halloween dance for students and faculty members, and co-sponsored a St. Patrick's Day dance with Pep Club. Santa came and passed out candy canes to the students before the showing of the movie Cool Hand Luke. Stuco reached out to the community at Christmas time by delivering a student cash donation to the Medicalodge and by conducting a canned food drive. Year-around activities included running the pop and Hi-C machines, selling doughnuts, and sponsoring the students of the nine-week's program.

Two-hour bus rides become very boring. I usually sleep on the way there and home ' states Teresa Domme, junior, pictured below left. Other fun pastimes on bus rides include talking about boys and singing songs. Cindy Ailshie, junior, explains how she thinks about the concessions game on the way up and back. Athletes survive long bus trips to become eligible to join the Girls' Athletic Association. Each year GAA puts on the Midwinter festivities. To finance Midwinter, GAA sells Coyote hats and works concessions. Below right: Beth Gleason, secretary, and Shelly Olsen, president, sort hats for sale. Raising money and putting on Midwinter takes a lot of the girls' time and energy. GAA is not just a club that raises money; it's a family. We stick together because we represent our high school's sports program ' explains Shelly Olsen, president.

Locker pals were chosen for winter sports. Pep Club and Student Council worked together to put on a St. Patrick's Day dance. Cheerleaders provided spirit at all sporting events.

Getting up at 4 in the morning and not sleeping the night before is the hardest part of debate ' explains Wayne Butler, senior. The debate team some days leaves at 5 a.m. and returns late at night. With rounds early in the morning, debaters work up quite an appetite. Below left: Kathie Maley, senior, quickly eats pizza before researching for the next round. Another important factor of the debate program is the novices. The six first-year debaters attend tournaments to gain experience. Below right: Shelby Shanks, freshman, demonstrates the importance of learning through reading the judge's ballot. The long bus trips home and discussions allow the debaters to become masters in argumentation.

The choir attended two contests — league at Great Bend and regional at Kingman. They improved from a 2, +2, and 3 at league to a 2, 2, and 1 at regional. To have gone to state, the choir needed two l's. 1 was real pleased ' remarks Duane Williams, choir director. 'They made some good progress. There are still things that need to be worked on though. An integral part of choir is warming up the voice. Mr. Williams uses an unusual method of relaxing his singers; he uses massages. When asked what she liked best about choir, Darla Ryan replied: The massages are the best part. When we warm up, we get to give each other massages. Mr. Williams points out, I don't use it all the time, but it helps — especially in the morning. A Top: Shawn Bruce wipes his eye clean.

The dinner and program, designed to recognize academic achievements, were held in the local VFW building. Follow the Fellow Who Follows His Dream served as the theme for the event. Miss Nadine Stallard, counselor and organizer of the dinner, explains the importance of dreams: Everyone should have something to look forward to. Without dreamers, our nation would be much less endowed. Dr. Kala Stroup, former vice-president of academic affairs at Emporia State University, spoke on the value of small town living. The induction of new members into the National Honor Society preceded the banquet. Initiates chosen for membership based on character, scholarship, leadership, and service were: Seniors — Mark Gales, Donny Streit Juniors — Deanna Hattrup, Dale Schinstock Sophomores — Lisa Anderson, Jan Hattrup.

Since the forensic program was not a regular class, the students involved worked independently throughout the season, notes Ms. Boyer. Students performed at league, regional, and state speech festivals. Ms. Boyer feels the seven students that participated in these contests did extremely well for not having the class time to prepare their speeches and acts. We had a great year, continues Ms. Boyer. The underclassmen gained a lot of valuable experience and the seniors gave advice and leadership. ± Top left: Amy Livengood studies a paper before giving her performance.

Preparation is started by planning what the student wants to construct or make. During the year the students work on their projects, note Mr. Adams, Mr. Bakumenko, and Mr. Maack. After these projects are completed, the students enter their works in art fairs. The industrial arts students entered in the Fort Hays State University industrial arts fair and the Pratt Community College industrial arts fair. The art students entered in the Fort Hays State University art contest. Participating in these fairs gives the students a chance to show off their work, says Mr. Adams, Mr. Bakumenko, and Mr. Maack. Academic students volunteered their time to compete in the Pratt Community College academic contest.

In testimony whereof, we have attached our signatures this________lsM?__ day of_________max___________________ in the year _____________ 1 KSHSAA Exeiut) ecrefary High School Principal Seniors receive honors Kinsley High School seniors worked hard for the past four years to earn various awards and scholarships. The Kansas State High School Activities Association sponsored the Outstanding Citizen Award which was presented to Peggy Marcy and Shane Shanks. Peggy Marcy, Shane Shanks, and Wayne Butler received the State of Kansas Scholarship. Presidential awards from Fort Hays State University were presented to Kathie Maley (middle; presented by Miss Nadine Stallard, counselor), Mark Gales (top; presented by Karl Metzker of FHSU), and Loretta Katz. Wayne Butler (lower right) received a newly-established computer science award from Baker University. Shane Shanks was presented a presidential award from BU.

Maley also received the Stephen Mathes Memorial Scholarship. Other awards given include these: outstanding math science senior — Mark Gales; outstanding senior bandsman — Donny Streit; John Philip Sousa — Shane Shanks; Masonic Lodge essay — Karla Wagner and Wayne Butler. A 23 Graduation is a nostalgic time Graduation is a memorable experience. It's a time which the seniors will never forget, states Shawna Stegman. John Carlin, governor of Kansas, spoke at the Thursday night event. The governor's speech centered around the values of learning from the failures in life. Building on the lessons of failure makes failure a valuable stepping stone. It was a privilege to hear the governor's advice, notes Donna Littrell. Some seniors felt that the highlight of the evening was the receiving of the diplomas. After 1 received my diploma, the feeling hit me that I would never be in high school again, comments Janet Gray. Even though the time has come to follow our separate ways, the seniors will have many graduation memories to last a lifetime, says Debra Oliphant. Shane Shanks and Kathie Maley were declared co-valedictorians. Doug Hirsh and Cheryl Kersting were the junior ushers. Teresa Domme was the junior piano player.

On April 30, the public had the chance to watch KHS. Don't Touch That Dial was the theme for the 1983 class night. The senior class designed the show to simulate a night of TV programming. The traditional emcees were abandoned in favor of a format alternating satires of TV shows, movies, and commercials. The commercials kept things going, says Miriam Graff. Emcees always seemed like they were stalling. Janet Gray favors the TV format. It was better than emcees, but it was an experiment. We didn't know how it would turn out.

The juniors started planning for the festive evening later than usual, but as an end result the night went well. The program and banquet were held at the high school cafeteria. The east wall of the cafeteria was decorated with green plants and a wicker chair as a background for student pictures. Members of the class put on a program before serving the main meal. The highlight of the program was a skit called Who Can It Be Now? Lex Wilkerson was finally arrested at the end of the skit by policewoman Rhonda Neilson. Ms. Neilson flashed her lights and sounded her siren outside the cafeteria to surprise everyone before she finally came running in to put Wilkerson in handcuffs. The main meal of roasted pig was served by ten sophomore servers. Kenton Schaller, Mickie Hattrup, Ronnie Wetzel, Mandy Hetzel, Troy Leith, Ginny Blanton, Danny Espinosa, Jamie Craft, Shane Miller, and Jamie Balman wore safari outfits made by the junior mothers. After the banquet students and guests attended the dance at the 4-H Building. The juniors decorated the ceiling of the building by cutting and dying old bed sheets to make them look like vines. The junior men constructed a hut made from bales and a running waterfall. Palm trees and painted murals of African scenes covered the walls. Instead of a band this year, the junior class voted to get a D.J. Brownie Lee supplied the evening with music and a light show. A Top left: Rhonda Fredelake wonders if she'll last the night.

For the first time in years, the Student Council sponsored a Halloween dance In February, the council also organized a Valentine's Day dance. E.T., the extra-terrestrial, stole the show at the movies. Other popular movies were Annie, Tootsie ' Gandhi, and The Verdict. The Tylenol scare made the public aware of the dangers one insane person can present to society. Approximately seven people in the Chicago area died from taking extra-strength Tylenol capsules laced with cyanide. Video games invaded stores and homes of the nation. Pac-Man even received his own Christmas special with Ms. Pac-Man and baby Pac. Some of the top music groups early in the school year were Journey, Toto, and Survivor. The spring semester saw a switch to Business as Usual by Men at Work and Built for Speed by Stray Cats. (See also page 56A.) When the Pepsi Challenge hit Western Kansas, Pepsi outdistanced Coke 3 to 1. In Eastern Kansas, Pepsi was not so lucky. Kary (Fisher) Newkirk returned to school after becoming a wife and mother. The fall semester began with four Spanish students, one Swedish student, and one Indian student attending KHS. When the spring semester began, only Magnus Englund, the Swedish student, remained.

Afternoon festivities began with a student assembly honoring the homecoming candidates when students performed skits and songs. Even though the assembly was a success, the students could not help worrying about the chance of the rain affecting the activities and the floats, remembers Jamie Balman The rain turned to a mist in time for the parade, a tradition that returned with the construction and display of class floats. Highlighting the parade was the crowning of the mock homecom-ing royalty, queen Magnus Englund and king Loretta Katz. The time grew near for the pre-game crowning of the 1982-83 homecoming royalty. That evening for the pre-game crowning, the candidates did not ride around the football field in cars because of the mud. The queen candidates Janet Gray, Debra Oliphant, Shelly Olsen, and Darla Ryan were introduced as they met their escorts Mark Frame, Mark Gales, Donny Streit, and Lee Gleason. Debra Oliphant and Donny Streit were elected the queen and king The homecoming football game against St. John was dampened not only by the wet field but also with a 49-0 loss. Following the game.

He'd have no place to keep a coat and books or to stand and talk to friends. But lockers aren't just storage places. Over the course of a school year they seem like personal possessions. A lot of kids decorate their lockers with pictures or stuffed animals ' says Robbie Headrick, sophomore. Balloons and streamers garnish the lockers of students with birthdays and Stuco sponsored a hall decoration contest during Christmas. The environment of a locker also adds personality. The trash can is by my locker, remarks tenth-grader Tina Bratton. It's also the one with all the boys beside it! she adds jokingly. A locker's size is a common source of complaint. Headrick explains, My locker is too short for me. 1 have to bend down to see in. Do Kinsley High School students keep their lockers clean? Probably not.

W hen cooking, Mrs. Norma Murphy, home economics teacher, follows a recipe. Over the past 26 years she has concocted a special recipe to determine what makes a good teacher. The first ingredient requires the teacher to care about the student. Some professor 1 had once said that 'you don't teach math, science, or home economics. You teach students, remarks Mrs. Murphy. I agree with that statement. I think you should be most concerned with the individuals. When trying to explain the benefits of teaching, she finds them hard to put into words. As I look back over the years, the best part is probably the kids. Certainly it's not the financial return. I've always enjoyed the students, and that's what keeps me teaching, comments Mrs. Murphy. The other main ingredient is maintaining an enthusiasm for teaching. Mrs. Murphy has difficulty thinking of bad points about being a teacher. Maybe that's the answer, she quips. Her goal as a teacher has been to keep her interest in the students. My husband jokes with me and says my goal is retirement, states Mrs. Murphy. But that's really not my goal. I'm working to keep my enthusiasm. If I ever lose my enthusiasm, then I'll get out. That hasn't happened yet. As in all recipes, the quality of the ingredients determines the quality of the final product. • John Maack Norma Murphy Patricia Penland Dana Randel Diana Redger David Smith Nadine Stallard Donald Stuart Dixie Williams Duane Williams 57 Board of Education: Back: Johi Wire; Robert Shanks, super intendent; John Ploger; Barbar.

The year looked promising after the first game when the Coyotes defeated Southwestern Heights. Coyote fans were disappointed throughout the rest of the season when KHS failed to win another game. However, the team members gained much experience. The Coyotes can expect to play teams farther from home next year than in the past years due to district changes. Shane Miller, sophomore, says, I think the team will show improvement next season over this season. A Top left: Head coach Keith Huslig runs drills with players.

Two of these members set new time records. Mark Frame, senior, finished out his season with a new personal record of 10:12 in the two mile and missed the school's record by two seconds. Mark also qualified for the state finals but did not place high enough to medal there. He did, however, medal in every event except the state finals.

Although Englund made it to state, he was disappointed with his performance throughout the season. I didn't do very good. I was 14 or 15 strokes over par all the time this year. 1 picked a goal to play six or seven strokes over par this year, and I didn't make it. I didn't play as good this year as I did last year, states Englund. It may look easy to hit a little white ball around, but Englund dismisses that theory. It's a tough game, one of the toughest sports you can do, argues Englund. I don't mean physically tough. I mean psychologically. You'll never be good enough to say you can do it all.

The varsity team finished the overall season with an 8-13 record. The junior varsity squad had a record of four wins and three losses.

With many hard practices and hard work, the Coyotes gained a lot of playing experience for next year's team. All of the hard work the freshmen put into their season paid off at the end, finishing with an impressive 6-1 record. They averaged 40 points per game.

By a team effort the varsity squad finished fifth at the Great Bend tournament. Toward the end of the season, the girls had a five-game winning streak going until Fairfield beat the Coyotes with a back-to-back game. The varsity finished the season with a 10-9 winning record. The female Coyotes also tied with Ellinwood for second in the Central Prairie League. The junior varsity and the freshman teams had a year for experience with winning only one game each.

Other wrestlers competing at state were Shane Miller — 98 pounds, Pete Liebl — 138 pounds, Mark Welsch — 145 pounds, Curtis Hutchison — 167 pounds, and Lee Gleason — unlimited.

Weather hampers boys’ performance Four boys composed the track team this year — two seniors, one junior, and one freshman. They were coached by Robert Koontz. The team lost a lot of seniors last year, making the number of tracksters this year scarce for the boys. Out of the four, three were returning lettermen. The strong areas for the boys were high jump and meter runs. The boys had to do a lot of practicing on their own time because the bad weather cut down on the number of practices.

Of the eight girls, four were returning letterwomen. The major conflict this year was the weather. The team only had three or four good practices in a row because of the bad weather. Many practices were held in the gymnasium because the track was too muddy. A number of track meets was cancelled because of the rainy weather. Along with the boys' track team, Mr. Koontz, coached the girls'. This was the first year that Mr. Koontz coached both the boys' and the girls' teams. The girls' best areas were the hurdles, the relays, and the meter runs. They gave it their best shot, but we were just lacking experience and numbers of trackers, states Mr. Koontz. The season ended with regionals with no one advancing to the state level. A Left: Tina Bratton leans on friend Davean Whipple after a hard workout.

Dusty had a strong interest in cross country, wrestling, track, and bowling. His cross country coach, Robert Koontz, states, Dusty made a tremendous improvement in cross country the two years that he ran. He really enjoyed it and was very enthusiastic about running. In his spare time. Dusty collected coins, stamps, fine crystals, and built models. He had just recently bought some crystal wine goblets, notes Mrs. Cheryl Rush, Dusty's sister. It's very unusual fora 17-year-old boy to collect fine crystals, comments Dusty's mother, Mrs. Patricia Eveland. Miss Nadine Stallard, high school counselor, adds, This hobby reflects the inner sense of beauty about Dusty's character. Those who knew Dusty will remember him fondly. One of those is Don Butts, who supervised Dusty's newspaper route in Kinsley: The thing I remember the most about Dusty is that he always had a smile on his face. I am very glad I had the opportunity to know him. Dusty attended the Kinsley Baptist Church and its youth group. Scott Brown, the youth director, states, Dusty was real easy to get along with. But I didn't know him as well as I would have liked to. He wasn't the type of individual that was necessarily always in the limelight, but he worked very hard. Last fall our youth group had a haunted house. We worked on that project for over a month. Dusty was there every Sunday afternoon to work on it. Not only was Dusty hard-working, but he also cared about people. Family members tell how he knew and contacted several young people across the country who needed his help. Mr. Brown gives an example of one girl whom Dusty had written: Dusty sent her a letter encouraging her and saying things like 'sometimes you don't appreciate what your parents do for you, but it's all for the best.' He told her God has planned something for you, and it will all work out.' Dusty had this same type of confidence for his own life as he had already made plans to enter the Air Force after high school graduation. Mrs. Eveland summarizes, Dusty loved life and he loved people. He was kind and considerate, and it didn't make any difference if you were two years old or 90. A continuing memorial fund in recognition of Dusty's interest in athletics has been established with the athletic department of Kinsley High School . A 79 Left: Dusty Eveland relaxes in Mr Squeaky's. Top: As a young boy Dusty liked to be outside. Above: Dusty's grandmother helps him cool off in the pool. Athletes are honored Over 122 students were honored at the athletic banquet. A covered dish supper was held for all high school and junior high athletes and their parents. After the supper, the high school coaches gave a wrap-up of their seasons, presented awards, and looked into the future. Shelly Olsen, president of GAA, and Mark Frame, president of K-Lettermen, presented special awards to the bus drivers, janitors, and Larry Korf in appreciation for all their support and help throughout the seasons. Miss Pat Penland presented the eight cheerleaders with their letters for supporting the football, basketball, volleyball, and wrestling programs throughout the year. President of the Big Red Booster Club, Rosetta Neilson, awarded the scholarship money to the Dusty Eveland Memorial Fund. Donny Streit received the Chuck Bender Award. Donny had played with a dislocated shoulder during his senior year of basketball. Receiving the outstanding senior boy and senior girl honor for 1982-83 were Mark Frame and Shelly Olsen. Frame has participated in cross country, wrestling and track during his four years of high school; Olsen has participated in volleyball and basketball in her four years.

I worked with the Kinsley Bank, and they had an insurance agency without an agent, remarks Mr. Wire. So I accepted the job. Mr. Wire feels strongly about the need to have an education, either at a vo-tech school or at a four year college. 1 hated school, despised it, remembers Mr. Wire. After high school, I joined the army. That's when I saw all the ignorance in the world and realized how important an education is. He admits, I'm just a big believer in education because it's a necessity now days to better yourself in society. So for an experienced and interested agent, visit Kinban Incorporated. ■ Kinban Inc.

Over the summer $15,000 were spent to improve the gym. Several renovations took place at the high school over the summer. One of the least noticeable of these is the new paint job and crack-patching done in the auditorium. Depending on one's color preference, the walls do look nicer than before. Maybe the difference in the auditorium would have been more obvious if the window curtains had been replaced, or at least fixed. The gaps where the curtains do not shut completely cause a glare from the sun, a big nuisance to anyone sitting on the south side of the auditorium. Another renovation, which catches one’s attention immediately, is the newly painted walls in the cafeteria. Actually the walls look incredibly good—a lot better than they did last year. The different shades of purple help brighten the whole room. The east wall is covered with a portrait of various enormous fruit. While almost everyone likes the lunchroom's new look, some people question the value of this portrait. It probably has the same value as any other fruit portrait —the artist had nothing better to paint. In this case though, the artist should have continued with his pattern of boxes. Another change, still debated, concerns the high school Suggested seven-period day Every year it’s the same old story. Whenever a person attends any one of the summer enrollment sessions, he is sure to hear several students complaining about the proposed schedule for the coming school year. “There aren’t any good classes that hour, the students will say. or they will explain that “all the classes I wanted to take are scheduled during the same class period. Considering the small number of students in some elective courses, the elective program at Kinsley High School may be in trouble. The State of Kansas and our local school board require a total of 22 credit hours for graduation. These requirements include four units of language arts, one unit each of American government and U.S. history, one-half unit of speech, one unit of health physical education, and two units each of science and math; this last requirement was raised two years ago. This leaves 12V elective credits to meet the graduation requirements. A unit of credit is earned by passing a full-year class. Two problems come from our six-period day. A full-time student can earn 24 credits. What if a student fails three classes? He would be unable to achieve the 22 credit standard. The second problem may help explain why some electives have such small numbers. If a student wants to be involved in activities like choir and band all through high school, that would leave only three and one-half courses that the student could take. One possible solution that has been receiving attention lately by school em- Part of the improvement was the repainting of the gym foyer which finally got rid of the ugly paint splotches. The deterioration of the gym has the school board members worried about what to do. If they continue to pour money into repairs, they will gain no ground. However, interest rates are still too high to construct a new gymnasium. A compromise suggested the high school basketball teams use the Offerle Middle School Gymnasium for their games while the high school gym would be used for everything else. The major problem with this idea will be the scheduling hassles. It would require a great deal of juggling to fit in OMS teams, KHS freshmen, B-team, A-team and practices at the OMS gym. It probably would also increase the amount of busing because the middle schoolers would have to have some practices at the high school gym. Obviously the only answer to the problem with the gym is to build a new one, but that cannot happen until interest rates drop some more. While the high school still does not look perfect, the changes made over the summer improve the looks and the atmosphere of KHS. might solve schedule conflicts ployees and board members is a seven-period day. If the number of specific graduation requirements (2 math units, 4 language units, etc.) is kept at it current level, the seven-period day could be beneficial to students by providing more elective opportunities. However, if the specific class requirements were increased considerably, the seven-period plan would probably be self-defeating. But a seven-period schedule wouldn’t add another hour of class time. By decreasing the time in each class to 50 minutes and retaining the present four-minute passing period, the school day would remain the same length that it is now. But converting to a seven-period day cannot be a quick decision. A 1980 court case, “Dodge City NEA vs. USD 443, Voice Sex Seniors had the option of taking five class periods instead of six periods because of a state law. Several students chose to take only five hours. Why are you not taking a sixth-hour class? Shelly Olsen: “I can do my homework and run errands before volleyball practice starts. Lynn Werner: “So I can go home and watch The Guiding Light.’” Kay Montgomery: We want a break from school.” Jeff Peterson: “So I can work; make some money.” - By Shane Shanks declared that the decision to switch to a seven-period day cannot be made just by the school board. The Kansas Court ol Appeals ruled that a seven-period day must be negotiated with teachers, which is a long, drawn-out process. Would the seven-period day make Kinsley’s schedule more flexible and solve its enrollment problems? Nobody can be sure. The only way to find out is to experiment with it, just like a scientist in a laboratory would do. But the decision should be made for the good of the students rather than for the personal preferences of the board members or the school employees. If school officials begin planning right now for the next school year, Kinsley High School could find itself on the verge of making some very important discoveries.

The writers recommend excusing a burp and ignoring a growling tummy. But most of How to Kiss with Confidence is just plain dumb. It is written in a dreamy Harlequin-romance style.

Randel commends high school students Dear editor: The people that helped certainly Each and every student at Kinsley High School counts. What you feel, do and the attitude that you convey about KHS count more than you realize. Below you will find a letter that I received this week from Mr. Ratzlaff, the principal of Southwestern Heights High School. It is in response to the bottle thrown at the Southwestern Heights team bus as it left Kinsley. A little responsibility on the part of some of our students went a long way that night. It show what good comes from standing up and being counted. We want to thank you for taking a big step forward to help us with the situation that occurred as we were leaving Kinsley following the ballgame last Friday night, September 10, 1982. The cheerleaders, student body, and administration work very hard for good sportsmanship and often the action of only a few destroys the good image. May I encourage you to keep trying. The action taken by your cheerleaders is to be commended highly. deserve a pat” on the back. So you see what you do as a student representing KHS really does count. The little things add up-that piece of paper that you pick up and throw away instead of leaving on the floor: volun teering to become involved in one of our many school activities; saying something to a person about to vandalize our school building-all of these things add up. If we can all make our actions count towards improving our school, our time is well spent. Let’s all strive to make KHS the best 3A school in the state of Kansas. That is not a goal that will come overnight but I feel that you. the students, have made great strides in the first month of school this year. Remember, your actions count. Stand up and be counted, and, most importantly, as a human being, YOU COUNT. Dana K. Randel Principal Kinsley High School Co dilors................Peggy Marcy.

Hudspeth's True Value Hardware 113 E. 6, Kinsley 5A SAT and ACT tests provide students help in developing college Each of the two and four-year schools in Kansas requires scores from either the ACT or the SAT. These scores are not used as a basis for admission, but are used to counsel students during enrollment. Scores are used most effectively in English and mathematics. KHS students are fortunate that ACT has designated KHS as a testing center for the first date, Oct. 30. This allows each student to take the test in a familiar setting with staff he knows. Colleges use student information from ACT results to plan curriculum and a limited number of schools use ACT scores to back up decisions on financial assistance and or scholarships. One taking ACT at this time or later must pre-register. The registration period ends Oct. 1 for the Oct. 30 testing date. Registration forms are to be com pleted with a pencil, and require a $9.50 check. Students taking the ACT in either October or on Dec. 11 should answer yes to question 190 in the Student Profile section, permitting ACT to sent the student’s scores to the Kansas Scholar ship Program. No scores from other testing dates will be used for the scholarship program. The ACT is an achievement test in English usage, mathematics usage, social studies reading, and natural science reading. Students taking the ACT Oct. 30 can expect their scores within four to six weeks. The student report has been expanded with students given additional interpretations of their results. Miss Stallard met with seniors through the American government classes last Friday and distributed registration materials at that time. The English usage test measures understanding of standard written English, punctuation, grammar, sentence structure, diction and style, logic and enrollment plans by Miss Nadine Stallard, counselor organization. It is a multiple-choice type of test with four alternative answers. The mathematics usage test measures reasoning ability, emphasizing the solution of practical quantitative problems met in many college courses as well as the mathematics in high school mathematic courses. Seniors taking the ACT Oct. 30 should register before Oct. 1. Send registration form and check for $9.50 in the envelope supplied by ACT and place two 20c stamps on the envelope to assure delivery. One should answer item 190 with ‘yes’ if he wishes scores sent to the State of Kansas Scholarship Program.

Their daughter, Darla Craig, a 1981 graduate of Kinsley High School, suffered a brain concussion from a horse-related accident Aug. 2. She was hospitalized from then until last weekend at Wesley Medical Center, Wichita. She is now at home in Kinsley, progressing well. Aug. 2. Darla was working with a horse at approximately 8:30 p.m. on the Craig farm. Mrs. Evelina Craig, Darla's mother and KHS business teacher, explains, Darla was trying to back the horse up when its leg buckled under and fell over sideways, causing Darla’s head to hit the ground. She appeared to be in a state of unconsciousness.” An ambulance took Craig to the Edwards County Hospital. Mrs. Craig did not realize how serious” the accident was until the hospital told me they were flying her to Wichita.” Three hours later the air ambulance landed. One of the scariest feelings was the doctors and nurses did not meet the ambulance as they do at the Edwards County Hospital; there three armed guards escorted us to the intensive care unit.” After seeing Craig, the Wichita doctors did not give the young woman much chance to live through the night, Mrs. Craig recalls. Craig was unconscious” for the first two weeks even though she still showed signs of response. We would hold Darla in our arms and with her arms around us, she would give a little hug. At these times. Darla’s heart monitor rate and respiratory rate would increase. These were signs of life. All we could do from one visiting hour to the next was watch for other signs of life. I just kept hoping for more recognition of life.” The feelings that Mrs. Craig experienced during these hours were numb. It was difficult to accept the reason for being there. It was like a bad dream or a movie; you would be scared and cry for a while but soon you would get up and go home, only you couldn’t leave. It was very hard to really believe that this was your family. These things only happen to someone else.” During the second week the doctors tested Craig’s reflexes. It was at this time that the patient spoke her first words, “quit” and don’t.” Craig started to open her eyes and follow objects but still wasn’t in a conscious state. Craig was to be transferred to a lesser care unit of special care Aug. 10 until she had a seizure, her first setback.” Having the seizure prolonged this transfer. During this setback, Craig developed pneumonia, another drawback. Craig did not talk during this time. She responded when we told Darla to look at someone and she would look at the right person.” Five days later Craig was moved to special care. As she was fed, she spoke for the second time, saying, “I don’t want any.” The worst but the best day was Aug. 23 when Craig became aware of her condition and became more conscious. It was at this time when “Darla went through a period of excessive crying and yelling. Most patients with this injury go through this stage.” Craig was transferred Aug. 31 to the rehabilitation level where she attended therapy sessions. At first Craig could only use her left hand and foot; now she has started to use her right side. Also at this level, Craig is walking with little help. The “third setback was Sept. 7 when Craig had a respiratory infection. They had to do a tracheotomy operation due to her inability to breathe. At the present time, Craig uses and eats with her right hand and is starting to write words. The doctor had said that this would be a long process. I thought by long they meant days or weeks,” states Mrs. Craig, but I found out they meant months to years. As for Craig’s present condition, she is uoiug a lot better. We won’t know how serious the damage is, if any, for possibly six months to a year. During our stay in the special intensive care unit, we met two other families with teenagers, teenagers who have head injuries. You develop a closeness to them as you lean on each other for strength to make it through each long day. No matter how many problems you have, someone else has more; this was true with us. “We have so much to be thankful for. Even though Darla was seriously injured, it could have been much worse.” The Craig family appreciates the people sending cards and money, but most of all the support, concern, and prayers. The community and people have been great. One person who has been and is still helping Darla in recovery is Jeff. Schreiber, Darla’s fiance’. He has been in Wichita with Darla ever since the accident happened,” Mrs. Craig notes. “If you try hard enough you can find some good in everything. We have gotten to know and love Jeff like our own and we realize how important friends and family are to us. Mrs. Craig observes, Darla really enjoys the many cards and letters she has received. We have read each one many times. Craig is now at the family residence north of Kinsley. Cards can be sent to Darla Craig, HR 2, Kinsley, Kansas 6’7547.

John Ploger, Agent Centerfold 7A KHS students play the numbers game Greetings and welcome to my Kinsley High School count. My name is the Count and I came to your high school to take count of some important aspects of high school life. The seniors can be counted on for leadership and for providing interesting facts. The average KHS graduating senior spends 720 days attending classes. In hours, he she spends 4320. Two-hundred and fifty-nine thousand, two-hundred minutes are spent in classes. Before the average KHS senior graduates, he she will spend 15,552,000 seconds in the I_______________________________ classroom. The average KHS student opens his her locker an average of 8,640 times in four years. Since I’m a vampire, I can fly from Of ferle to Kinsley, but by the time an Of-ferle student graduates, he she travels 11,520 miles. This figure just includes driving to and from high school every day. According to Keith Atkins, representative of the Kansas State High School Activities Association, The average number of minutes practiced by a football player in 4 years is 28,000 while the average number of minutes played is 1,720.” He continues, “The average number of minutes practiced by a volleyball player is 26,000 compared to the playing of 1,200 minutes. The faculty has some interesting countables. Larry Korf, KHS math instructor, says OK approximately 22 times per class period. Miss Diana Redger, social science teacher, has been noted to tell her juniors 34 times a day, You have to use a PEN if you’re going to hand it in!” I had lots of fun in the library. There are 6,089 different books on the shelves to count. The Kinsley High faculty count possesses some problems, however. When I look at differences in the height of the teachers, the count is done on a yard stick-although you may be able to measure Miss Penland’s height with a ruler just as easily. The government class gave me the count of Don Stuart’s jokes as 60 per class period. Because of upcoming tests no senior will comment on the number of funny jokes he tells. It’s nearly impossible to count the number of 12 hour speeches Jim Kuhn, head basketball coach, will give at yearly award assemblies. Dana Kandel, KHS principal, helped me count the number of KU fans at the high school. Including himself there are six Jayhawkers. One of the “KU crazies” is John Davis, business teacher. Tidbit counts around the school include these: 9 students know the Alma Mater” ... 30 freshmen see the inside of the lockers of seniors each year ... Well, that is all I can count right now, because I have to count the number of hot dogs served in our lunchroom. Restricted diets pose Teresa Domme, a KHS junior, has learned to live with her diabetic con dition. Domme has had diabetes ever since a couple days before her eighth birthday. Her teacher was the first to really notice that something was wrong, notes Mrs. Edward Domme, Teresa’s mother. Domme stayed in the hospital for three weeks after being diagnosed as a diabetic. Those three weeks were really hectic for all of us,” explains her mother. She goes on, I would have to pick Teresa up from the hospital, take her to school, and then take her back to the hospital to get her medication and to spend the night. Domme is very active in school. She is involved in band, volleyball, basketball, just to name a few. Diabetics must stay relatively active in order for the insulin to work right. challenges rather than Insulin is a necessity of life for diabetics. It is a pancreatic extract which when injected into the body destroys sugar. In order for the diabetic to increase the amount of sugar and starch in his diet, he must take insulin. Domme states, I take 54 units a day of insulin. Mine is a mixture of 48 units M.P.H. and 10 units regular. I thought I could never give anyone a shot with a needle, but while Teresa was in the hospital, I practiced on an orange, states Mrs. Domme. Domme receives her shots in various places. Giving the shots in different areas prevents one certain place from becoming overly sore, states Mrs. Domme. Domme very seldom gives herself shots in the stomach. It hurts more in the stomach,” explains Domme. Diabetics are under supervision by a doctor. I’m supposed to go to the doctor E - Z Stop Hwy 56 Niles limit diabetic student once every month, but lately it’s been three months since I have seen the doctor, confesses Domme. Most diabetics know when they have to go see a doctor. Domme says that the hardest challenge for her and other diabetics her age and younger is to stay away from sweets. Since my sister Michelle and all of my friends eat all kinds of sweets, I find it really hard to stay on a schedule.” comments Domme. Diabetics usually follow a food diet established by a diabetic doctor. Domme is on an exchange diet where foods are put into catagories according to the amount of starches and sugars they contain. People with diabetes are always likely to be diabetics. Domme thinks of these limitations as not restrictions; they are challenges.

This treatment never happened to Miss Patricia Penland, KHS math instructor, but it did to Hypatia, an Alexandrian math student in the 1700’s. She was good, but she was a woman. Hypatia wrote several commentaries on mathematical theories which upset the religious leaders of the day. These leaders decided to put a stop to her work by burning her writings and murdering her. Working with numbers was an evil activity. Even today in these times of women’s liberation there are very few women high school math teachers. There are not many women who continue with their math studies; for example, we only have one girl in senior math this year, states Miss Penland. In her college years, there were not many girls in her advanced math classes and most of these went into the business end of the math field. Believe it or not, football saved me from prejudice against women in my field, notes Miss Penland in describing an incident that helped her in a calculus class. The male teacher made it harder on her because he expected more from women. This all changed when the teacher was discussing Central Michigan’s chances in the upcoming football season. I tutored some football players and dropped by the field, said Miss Penland. I had seen what they had and told him what I expected of the season. We got along great after that because we had similar interests, explains Miss Penland. Miss Penland finds the raising of credit hours for KHS students in math from one to two beneficial to all. The students who are having problems will slow me down and so I will explain the content better to everyone,” she states positively. Having to take two credit hours during high school may also help to get women more involved in math. They have a second opportunity to grasp certain aspects of math, she continues. Whether deep in thought, showing the movement of logs in a paper mill, or describing the life of a female mathematician.

Proud printers of the “KHS Breezes’ Quizzed out of classes Miss Penland found out about her exceptional math talent when she quizzed out of her fourth and fifth grade math classes. Then she was placed into an accelerated math class until the eighth grade when she got her first taste of algebra. During high school she took a lot of college preparatory courses which included all four years of math. High school graduation led to Central Michigan University. In the next four and one-half years she studied math education. She received a BS in math education which led to the job market. “My father was dead set against me going into teaching. He wanted me to go into the business end, she explains. The business pay scale is much higher than that of a teacher’s. Another problem is that teaching jobs are scarce and that is why Miss Penland came to Kansas. Also, a teacher has many extra duties. Miss Penland is cheerleader sponsor and must go on bus trips. I can take my math with me, she goes on, but you can’t take your money with you. Even though a teacher’s pay scale is low, being a math teacher helps in many ways.

Duane Williams, high school vocal instructor. feels the music department is in a slump. Students today are faced with the problem of things they need to do for school as well as the things they want to do in school as extracurricular activities.” Mrs. Dixie Williams, high school band instructor, states, The problem of a lower enrollment is the schedule problems and the lack of interest.” Mr. Williams taught at Hoxie and Mrs. Williams taught at Grinnell where they taught 40 to 50 students during each of the four years they were there. The schools at Hoxie and Grinnell are about the same size as Kinsley’s or a little bit smaller. At KHS there are two vocal classes in the daily schedule. Second hour has 15 enrolled and 10 in third hour. The band this year has 28 students enrolled. A lot of students have said that they would like to take choir or band but just can’t work it in their schedules. We are looking at a situation where a 7-hour schedule would be helpful,” states Mr. Williams. The count of music students has gone down about one-half from last year. Mr. Williams feels it’s due to the conflicts in schedules. Mr. Williams’ first impression when he saw how small his classes were was disappointment and discouragement. “I decided that was the wrong attitude to have, says Mr. Williams. I’m trying to use the classes as a spring board to bring us out of the slump. Mr. Williams will co-direct a musical this year. He had 45 to 50 students audition for the chorus and leading roles. I was thrilled this many people showed interest,” expresses Mr. Williams. It strengthened the competition and everyone did so well which made the choice difficult.” He feels they will put on a fine performance Nov. 11 and 12. Kinsley is not the only school declining in music,” Mr. Williams states. With the declining enrollments, budget cuts, and the strong emphasis on sports, all elective programs are taking the heat” Mr. Williams enjoys sports, but he would like to see a little more push Kinsley High School faces a very serious problem in the near future. This problem could affect students, teachers, courses, and sports. This problem is a decline in student enrollment. Some changes are expected to take place. But whether these changes will be major or minor depends upon the rate of declining enrollment. At a recent board of education meeting, Supt. Robert Shanks outlined the projected enrollment rates, which he said were alarming.” This year, KHS has 165 students enrolled, but next year that number is expected to drop to 141 where it will remain for the next two years. But the following year, the enrollment will plunge to 118 students. In the 1987-88 school year, a slight rise will boost the number to around 130, but that will drop again to 114 and 117 in the two following years. Dana Randel, KHS principal, says that some goals have been set to meet these changes in enrollment. One is the seven-hour day. This way,” he explains students will have a wider choice range in the classes they may want to take.” But if the enrollment rates drop even lower than the projected rate, a different plan may have to be executed. I hate to even suggest it,” states Randel, but if the rate does drop below the projected level, there could be a loss of course offerings. I don’t want to do that; I hope it doesn’t come to that. toward other areas, such as art, hon.3 economics, industrial arts, and music. If we’re to be well-rounded individuals. all of these areas are important but it's happening all over, not just here at Kinsley, Mr. Williams says. If a reduction in courses occurs, they will most likely be non-required courses that were instituted into the high school so that the students would have wider range of choices of classes to be taken. These could be classes like choir, band, physical education, etc., etc., says Randel. For example, the now existing a capella and concert choirs would be combined into just one choir. Band and physical education would go through similar changes. Other classes might be totally eliminated, such as non-required classes that have few students enrolled-like music theory, some cooking and woodworking classes. What is the culprit behind all of this concern? A decline in birth rate, says Randel. People just aren’t having as many children as in past generations for various reasons. Either they don’t want them or can’t afford them.” But for this year, things will remain the same. Wayne Butler, senior, voices his thought: I’m sure whatever they do will be necessary though I would hate to see any activities go. But if they do, they do. Don’t horse around ... Shop at...

Wearing stripes means fun, fitness for referee Bill Scott Sports11 “It’s one way to get a lot of exercise and make a little money at the same time,” says Bill Scott, athletic referee who lives eight miles north of Kinsley. Mr. Scott spends a lot of time officiating football, basketball, and volleyball. “I’ve been officiating for about eight years now, states Mr. Scott. In order to be a referee, an umpire, a linesman, or a line judge, he must pay $10 for the first sport and $7 for each additional sport; the fee must be sent to the Kansas State High School Athletic Association (KSHSAA). He must meet four requirements: (1) Attend one state rule meeting; (2) score a 90% or higher on an open-book test; (3) be on a list submitted by coaches to the KSHSAA; and (4) attend the needed area rule meetings, depending on the sport. Mr. Scott is very much the sportsman. In high school he was involved in football, basketball, and track. He attended Baker University on a sports scholarship. He participated in football and track. A referee spends as much time preparing for a game as does a player on a game night. The team” of officials has a pre-game routine to follow. “Before every game, we check our equipment, go over our positions for various phases of the game, and discuss what we would do in certain situations,” explains Mr. Scott. A referee must expect criticism for some of his decisions. “Every judgment call will cause some controversy, says Mr. Scott. The possibility always exists that the officials may not agree on a call. “If that would ever happen, the referee would make the final decision. Four officials are needed in football: referee, umpire, linesman, and line judge. The referee is positioned directly behind the offense while the umpire is stationed behind the defense. The linesman stands on the sidelines with the chain crew. The line judge stands opposite the linesman. In most cases the same four men work the same games together. Each man keeps the same position throughout the season. The league commissioners appoint which games I referee. I work with four different commissioners, says Mr. Scott. Mr. Scott has two sons. When they begin competing in high school athletics, he plans to limit himself to junior high games. I would also like to referee some junior college games. Although it seems officiating a game would be very tiring, Mr. Scott enjoys it because it’s a great way to stay in shape.” An official faces many pressures. I worry about making a bad call, admits Mr. Scott.

Offerle Wilson and Frame Gifford Jewelry Gleason Tax Service Attorneys at Law Maurice Gleason THE KINSLEY BANK “Member FDIC” “Money Invested at Home Works at Home’’ 14A Opinions Activity tickets help reduce costs of programs Where does all the money go? Today’s troubled economy, with its high prices and interest rates, may compel many people to ask this question. But recently, here at Kinsley High School, several students have been asking where their money goes. When they bought an activity ticket at the opening of school in August, for what were they actually paying? The confusion stems from a new BOE policy requiring all students to purchase an activity ticket for the 1982-83 school year. The tickets are priced at $5. There are two ways to interpret the activity ticket-as an admission pass and as a share in the cost of activities. In the past an activity ticket served as an admission to all home ball games. The $10 ticket was a bargain for any student who would attend the majority of the ball games played in Kinsley. However, for many students, especially athletes, cheerleaders, and members of the pep band, the activity pass was not necessary. The reason: It was an accepted practice that students directly involved in the activities might enter without paying admission. Students who are involved in many activities seem to be the major critics of the required activity ticket. They argue that they now must pay admission to events that they used to get into free. For example, if a student participated in football, basketball, pep band, and the school musical, he would have very minimal admission costs. His cost to attend the 1] -Peggy Marcy remaining activities would likely be below the price of an activity ticket. If activitv tickets are considered as admission fees, maybe the tickets should provide entrance to the homecoming and mid-winter dances. The price would probably be raised, but this would help justify the ticket for those who get into nearly everything free because of their involvement in so many activities. Activity tickets as a reduced admission cost remain a bargain for students who support school activities with their attendance rather than actual participation. W’hen the tickets are related to the cost of activities, the second aspect of the matter, the more involved students receive the bargain. It's no secret that extracurricular activities are numerous-and costly. Sports, debate, band, cheerleading, and drama productions all add to the expense of operating a school. Tickets sold to every involved student help pay for the programs offered at KHS. In this sense, the student out for football, basketball, pep band, and the school musical gets a lot of activity for only $5. When students understand these two philosophies of the activity ticket, neither the active or inactive person should feel “ripped off.” W hether as an admission or a payment for activities, it’s evident that the dollars spent on activity tickets do make sense. Those terrible commercials invade cable TV Watching television has replaced baseball as America’s favorite pastime. TV has its good points and its bad points, but its worst point has to be the commercials. Some people prefer to watch cable networks because they seem to have fewer advertisements, but cable may not be an escape any more. Believe it or not, cable viewers (in some cities) can now watch commercials 24 hours a day on — get this — three different channels with a fourth channel showing the schedule of advertisements. Say for instance a photographer wants to see the Kodak ad. He checks the schedule channel to see when the ad will appear next. If Kodak is not scheduled at a time he can see it, he can call a computer and request his commercial be shown right then. Amazingly enough, this advertising program called Cableshow has been successful enough that it will continue. Part of the reason for Cableshow’s success may be its similarity to flipping through a catalog or browsing in a large department store. Although Cableshow has not come to Kinsley yet, it might be helpful to know which commercials to do homework on. An unofficial poll of a few Kinsley High School students designated Cathy Rigby’s advertisements as the worst. Why would she talk about a product in front of millions of people when she does not normally go around talking about it? Hidden camera commercials bomb. Maybe it would help if they bought professional actors to lie to the man when he says: We’ve been spying on you!” At least the actors would be more exciting liars than the non-actors are now. But then, it cannot be very tough to shake a frying pan and say: I can pick this pan up now, but I couldn't pick it up before!” Advertisements often tell us infor mation we did not know. For instance, most deoderants are deoderants and not anti-perspirants. Or, if someone scratches his head, he probably has dandruff. The list of bad TV commercials could continue indefinitely (?). In all fairness, some ads depict interesting scenes. Coke almost always has good ads. Also, Bell Telephone and Kodak have some funny advertisements. Face it! TV and commercials go together just like baseball and Howard Cosell. c With the high cost of dating or just going out for a good time, some students have found alternative ways to avoid costs on dates. What do you do or where do you go on a date when you go out? Lisa Anderson: “We like doing a lot of things, especially watching underwater basket weaving contests.” Anna Baker: “We go to the show, go riding around, or we go to the games. Dale Schinstock: “Stay in Kinsley because it’s a lot of trouble to go somewhere else.” Gina Johnson: We go around town, my house, and sometimes we go to Dodge to the show. We also go to wedding dances.” Jamie Balman: “We milk calves; I mean we feed them milk. Jose’ and Luis Arechabala: We go to our club to ride horses, play golf, play tennis, and lots of other things.” Shawna Stegman: “Riding around Dodge and usually go to the show.” Troy Weiss: Sit over in the Weyrich lot and have fun.” Darla Ryan: “I haven’t had a date for so long I can’t remember what to do. My phone number is 659-xxxx. Reviews 15A “Get Lucky” by Loverboy Dance tunes, electronic music highlight Loverboy LP “Get Lucky, the Loverboy’s latest album, ranks thirteenth on the charts. “Working for the Weekend” probably get the most playing time on the radio of the nine songs on the album. It begins the record with a dynamic beat that says: “Get up and dance!” This has helped it become one of the most popular songs at dances. Following the basic format of relaxed songs coming after upbeat music, “When It’s Over” plays next. “When It’s Over,” sung by Paul Dean and Mike Reno, may also be familiar to radio listeners. Most records have some songs that would never be heard if the buyer could edit them. “Jump,” the third choice on side one, seems to be a likely candidate for editing. “Put your hands in the air; you better take care. Your money or your life; don’t think twice.” These reassuring words open “Gangs in the Street.” Breezes Kin• ley Hi h School Vol. 32. No. 2 Kinsley.

Boehmc Part of the chorus says: “What would you do if they were looking at you? What would you say if they were walking your way? . . . Gangs in the street ready for you, and they’re ready for me.” This probably carries a warning for people unfamiliar with gangs to stay out of their way (which makes sense). The Loverboys finish side one with Emotional,” a typical rock style music It has too much loud piano, loud guitar, and irrelevant (dumb) wording. A review of side one shows two exceptionally good hit songs —one intriguing song and two disappointing songs. Side two leads off with Lucky Ones” which contains the title phrase. This talks about fame and how only the “lucky ones” make it to stardom. The instrumental parts and the lyrics combine to make this a good song for listening, but not one for playing at parties. Unfortunately, it usually takes a “party-song” to become a hit. The next song, “It’s Your Life, seems to be another candidate for editing. Watch Out” is not as good as “Lucky Ones,” but it deserves some recognition for being better than the preceding song. The conclusion of the album comes with “Take Me to the Top.” The Loverboys strike a popular fad with this song. Take Me to the Top” sounds — instrumentally — like a cross between futuristic and video game machine music. If they had tried this style all the way through “Get Lucky,” the style would have become old fast. Instead, the selection does a nice job of ending the album with a view of what may come next — both from the Loverboys and from music in general. Side two boasts two good songs, one average song, and one forgettable song. Before buying the album, decide if two hit songs (“Working for the Weekend” and “When It’s Over”) and two enjoyable songs (“Lucky Ones” and “Take Me to the Top”) make the purchase worthwhile. —Letters to the editor Honor roll qualifies students for Egghead Dear editor: The phrase “plan now to attend is an invitation to all Kinsley High School students to begin working now toward being eligible for the eighth annual Egghead Banquet. Why are we alerting you to this now? Because, to be eligible to attend the Egghead Banquet, the student must be on the honor roll of KHS each of the three nine-week grading periods. You may not substitute a semester honor roll for any of the three nine-week grading periods. So as school continues to progress, make every effort to do your best academic work. Make the first nine-week honor roll, make the second nine-week honor roll, and make the third nine-week honor roll. Then you will receive an invitation to this school event. The Egghead Banquet is a time for recognizing the academic area of our school. Local businesses, service organizations, and the two banks of the school district make it possible for us to invite you to be guests” and to have your parents as “paying guests” for a nice meal, for a brief program, and for an inspiration entertaining talk by an outstanding speaker.

Two KHS and three OMS students will participate in a district honor choir in Dodge City Nov. 6. These students are senior Debi Oliphant: sophomores Mandy Hetzel, Laura Kersting; eighth graders Brad Scott and Shawn Hicks. “High school students will be auditioning by tape or live. Judges will judge on tone quality, blending ability, and singing techniques,” notes vocal instructor, Duane Williams. If the student does “well” on auditioning and is selected by the judge, he or she will have the “privilege” to sing in a district honor choir composed of around 200 selected students from Southwest Kansas Dec. 4. District honor choir members have the ‘opportunity” to audition for state honor choir in December. If one is selected, he can participate in the state honor choir in February in Wichita explains Mr. Williams. Junior high district honor choir “doesn’t have any auditioning but the students are selected by the directors.” They also will participate in a rehearsal and concert Nov. 6. “District honor band will also take place Nov. 6 for KHS and OMS students,” notes Dixie Williams, band instructor.

While spectators may be captured by the storyline or excited by the music, they may not be aware of the costs of a musical production. Th-� Kinsley High School production of the coi.'edy-musical, No, No, Nanette, has several expenses. Duane Williams, director, says that the biggest expense for the show is the cost of the scripts and the royalty fees charged for each performance. ‘‘Together, the music, scripts, and royalties cost us $450.” 1920‘s setting The story takes place in the 1920’s and therefore requires costumes from that time period like baggy trousers, flapper dresses, and bow ties. “Out of curiosity,” explains Mr. Williams, we wrote to some costume companies to find out how much it would be to rent the costumes. But we found out it would be very expensive.” The rental rates ranged from $30 to $45 per costume for just one week. With a cast and chorus numbering nearly 30. the rental fees would add up fast. As a result, volunteers will be sewing several of the costumes for the KHS production. Three changes of scenery add to the expense of No, No, Nanette.” Sets will be built to represent a luxurious home, and the interior and exterior of a vacation cottage. Styrofoam board and paint will be purchased to dress up” the existing sets. We’ll make some ad ditions to get the effects we want, but we’ll be using what we’ve already got,” he states. Williams suggests that time probably the biggest cost involved. Staging, building sets and costumes, and learning lines take time away from other activities. Practices are held twice a week and usually last two hours. Lezlie Schinstock, a member of the chorus, feels that the time she gives up for practices is worth it. She says, I couldn’t fit choir into my schedule this year but I like to sing. I thought the musical sounded like fun.” Cast and chorus members also pay transportation costs to and from the practices. Debi Oliphant, who plays the role of Sue, estimates that it costs “about $8 a week for gas used in driving between the school and her home near Of-ferle. However, she justifies this cost because she enjoys the participation. “It’s fun, and you get to be with other kids, she states. Decision factors But the expenses were not the only factors Mr. Williams had to consider when choosing which musical to stage. First, as a teacher new to KHS, he was unfamiliar with the capabilities of the students. For this reason, he wanted to choose a production that is a little easier to stage.” He continues, The cast and chorus don’t need a lot of experience for this show. You don’t need a ‘Julie Andrews’ to sing these songs.” The second point Mr. Williams searched for was a musical that had more girls’ parts than boys’ parts. No, No, Nanette” has three male roles as compared to seven female characters. The complexity of the scenery was a third point of consideration because most KHS students have very little experience in building sets. A fourth factor in his decision was the lighting capabilities in the auditorium. Mr. Williams describes the stage lights as adequate, but there isn’t much control except for on and off. This makes it difficult to do special effects or to focus in on just one character. He selected ‘‘No, No, Nanette” because it met these criteria and has what he calls a “good story. He explains, It has some very funny situations, and I think the actors can relate to them better than in some other musicals. Successful on both Broadway and high school stages, this production features recognizable tunes such as Tea for Two” and “I Want to Be Happy which add to its audience appeal. In short, he claims, “It’s just a winner!” All seats for the Nov. 11 and 12 productions will be reserved. Students with activity tickets may obtain their reserved ticket in the high school office. People without an activity pass should call the high school to reserve their seats. Admission is $2.50 for adults and $1.50 for students in grades K-12.

Now, I won’t be able to take advantage of the special couple rates of 25$. Oh, golly, gee! What a drag! This could have been a common happening when most parents of Kinsley High School students dated in high school. In those days, the couple could cruise all night on an 18-cent gallon of gas. Then they could stop in at the greasy spoon and sip sodas for a dime a piece (2 straws). Dinner dates consisted of three hamburgers for a dollar. The third hamburger was saved for the next date. Comparing the economies of the 1950’s with the years that James Kuhn, KHS debate coach, was dating shows that the “cost of loving” has changed drastically. Mr. Kuhn's first date was when he was a junior in high school. He went to a dance ‘similar to the mixer. This date didn’t cost me much because we doubled and took my buddy’s car.” The price of admission was $1.25 per couple. Later that year, he took a date to a homecoming dance. Costing him about $4 for admission. Kuhn got his first taste of how costly dating can be. Dating in the 1970’s was less expensive than now but “the more you date, the more costly it becomes. To get around the high costs, Kuhn took girls on “study dates and used the line. We could just go to your place, quite often. Kuhn also has a few tips for young men to cut costs: 1. Walk where you are taking her ... 2. Make sure she has her purse, and forget your billfold ... 3. Go to the bathroom right before the check comes, then go sit in the car ... “Once a girl asked me out, and I didn’t go. Mr. Kuhn has been known to be a male chauvenist. “She sent herself a dozen roses and said they were from me. That made me look pretty sweet and didn’t cost me a dime. Even here at KHS, girls are proving women’s liberation can work. Lezlie for my dates and take my own car. She comments that she likes it better that way because I don’t get stood up so often. This year KHS Student Council did not give special couple rates for the homecoming dance. If a student took a date, the cost was $6 plus the average $5 for a corsage. The new activity tickets this year have helped the pocketbooks of would-be-daters. With a $5 charge built into the total fees, attending games and school functions are one of the cheapest dates possible for KHS students. The price of gas at $1.20 per gallon has considerably cut down the dragging of Main Street in Kinsley, not to mention the high food costs causing many to order water (with two straws). Today a dozen roses could cost over $50. A 10-pound box of chocolates can now be a costly item also. A general trend today is for one to pick his favorite girl a dandelion and buy her a Snickers. But with today’s economy, being creative in gift giving helps fight the high cost of loving. •Three new senses not yet sensed' This may sound a little funny to your taste, but it is a subject that must be touched upon. You see, I’ve smelled a rat here for quite sometime, and it’s time someone heard about it. What am I talking about? The six sen ses, that’s what. For years and years, people have been led to believe that the human body has only six senses, five natural and one supernatural. The five natural senses can be found in the first paragraph of this article. The supernatural” sense is commonly called ESP, or extra sensory perception. But hold on. A new scientific study, conducted by Dr. I.M. Balding, has concluded that the human body has three more senses which have gone undetected until now. Dr. Balding has outlined these new senses in his best selling but yet unpublished book, Sensing Your Senses. Here, in brief, but yet very revealing outline are the three sensational new senses no one sensed he had. Common sense Common sense is probably least prevalent in politics since it deals with making a wise decision in any given situation. This includes tying your shoe with one hand. This could be a real knotty problem. But, the most sensible way would be to have someone loan you a hand. That’s good common sense. (Just make sure you give them their hand back.) Even-odd sense This sense deals with the ability to make a decision in a gambling situation. Your car overheats and dies on desolate stretch of a desert highway. The next town is eight miles away. You decide to walk. Soon, a car appears on the horizon. This is the point where your even-odd sense comes in. Do you stand in the mid die of the highway, flapping your arms? Or, do you run upon a nearby hill, and, using your watch crystal as a reflector flash an S.O.S. signal? If you have a strong even-odd sense, you could do either and the car would stop. If you have a weak even-odd sense, the car will make a gourmet dish for a buz zard out of you on the highway. If you flash w m a signal, it would turn out to be only a irage anyway. Senseless sense This is the most unknown sense of all. It’s where a body makes a senseless decision and everything turns out right anyway. For example: You are the clerk in an all-night convenience store. At three a.m. a suspicious looking character, wielding a knife in one hand and an empty jar in the other, bursts through the door and runs towards the counter. What do you do? If you have senseless sense, you would calmly without hesitation say, “I’m sorry sir; we’re fresh out of miracle whip! After all, you’ve heard the ad on television countless times. So, it goes to show that in this sensationally unsensible world, the only sense that makes sense is nonsense. Does that make sense?

Mi � iiolh,n« Hwy 56 Niles and School Supplies 118 E. 6th Kinsley 659-2184 20AF e a t u r e s Activity ticket policy features good and bad points 1981-82 activity tickets were unfair, says KHS principal. Dana Randel. Last year each student had the opportunity to buy an activity ticket for $10; 40 out of 190 students purchased activity tickets. Some students would “sneak through the locker rooms during games; others would tell the ticket taker that they left their tickets at home. Mr. Randel felt this situation was unfair to the other students. The Board of Education in August approved a new policy requiring each high school student to purchase a $5 activity ticket and each grade school student to purchase a $3 ticket for the 1982-83 school year. This year’s activity ticket allows one to attend certain functions as last year’s ticket without paying regular admission costs. These functions are all home-sponsored athletic events. In addition this year’s ticket allows one to attend lyceums and school plays at no additional cost. The Student Council has three lyceums planned for this year. The all-school musical is in November with No, No. Nanette. There are good and bad points to the new policy, notes Mr. Randel. I feel it is more equitable for most everyone, although we could be punishing a few students unintentionally by making them pay a little extra. As far as revenue, this year it has doubled even though the price of tickets was cut in half. Mr. Randel feels it would “make more sense not to charge the students any price.” In Grinnell, Ks., there wasn’t any charges for activities.” The Board of Education felt no activity was a moneymaking project.” This was a good deal for everyone. Some students at KHS were approached about the new policy. Several KHS seniors felt it was unfair. They said that they were involved in various sports and pep band so they would get in free anyway. Many Offerle Middle School students said, We like the idea. We go to many OMS and KHS games and activities in which we would be paying way over the amount of $3. Mr. Randel admits that “problem will alway occur when new policies are made. Hopefully when the practices of these decisions are put forth, people will sense the wisdon in making the decisions. Downslips indicate concern How many seniors will graduate? Downslips for the first nine-week period came out Wednesday, Sept. 27. Of the 58 students receiving notice of having unsatisfactory work, 13 were members of the Class of ’83. The juniors received 24 downslips. The majority of these were downslips in industrial arts classes and the required subjects. The sophomores received the least amount with eight while the freshmen had 13. Receiving bad test grades was the major reason for the teacher giving downslips. Only 5 downslips were given due to discipline problems within the classroom, Miss Stallard calculates. She also cites students missing homework as teachers’ reasons for issuing downslips. Lewis Press Inc. Proud printers of the “KHS Breezes” As Miss Stallard talks with students, she finds a student feeling that education as a whole is not seen by many as necessary to one’s future wellbeing.” Another finding is that students have a “lack of motivation which could be caused by a lack of time. A person needs to care about how they do in school, notes Miss Stallard. ‘‘Future jobs may depend on the student's school records. Semesters are not averaged together so if a student fails one, that student has to take the whole semester over.

Kinsley, Kansas 67547 Features 2,A Purchasing a car takes much thought and careful planning; local salesmen and students give several useful tips It takes wisdon to buy a used car. Here are a few tips from a Kinsley used car salesman; he prefers to remain anonymous. He recommends finding out about the service after the sale; no car is worth the price if the motor falls out and the company will not fix it. Location is another important factor; one living in Kinsley doesn’t want to drive to New Jersey to get his car checked regularly. The most important factor that this salesperson expresses is to buy the car in the local community. It’s always easier to drive a short distance to get the car serviced regardless of the need. “Pickups have been what a lot of high school students are looking at. Students have been spending anywhere from $500 to $6,000,’’ states this salesperson. “Most students come in by themselves or with friends to look at cars, but when it gets down to making the decision, they bring their parents with them,” says the salesperson. When Lee Gleason, a high school senior, purchased his car, it only took him one day. Gleason looks for several points when he’s purchasing a car. “The condition of the car is the important factor, that means inside and out. It has to be clean and the dash can’t be cracked,” states Gleason. Blue or black has to be the color for Gleason. Another point that Gleason checks before purchasing a car is the size of the motor. Corey Inman, junior, searched four-to-five months before he purchased his used Trans-Am. Inman also checked the condition of the car inside and out. He considered the condition of the tires and the mileage. “It has to have an AM-FM radio and the price has to be right,” states Inman. Some high school students like Janet Gray, senior, have not found the right car yet. Gray has been looking for about three months now. Some factors that she looks for are the condition, the year, and the color. “I don’t want a real gaudy color.” Gray makes sure before she purchases her car that it has an AM-FM radio as well as an air conditioner. Lisa Kallaus, junior, considers a few more factors than iust air and AM-FM tilt, cruise, electric windows and locks, sun roof, electric seats. Kallaus is looking for a 1982 Z28 in blue and silver. I'm willing to pay any price because I’ve been collecting pennies all my life,” states Kallaus. Another Kinsley salesperson summarizes the procedures that any student wanting to buy a used car should follow: You should always ask a lot of questions, and if the dealer knows the previous owner, you should try and contact him. Organizations sell several items When school starts, clubs and classes are out earning money for their school year activities. This year is no exception. Many of the organizations were off to a fast and early start by selling items. The items sold were of different quality and value. The Student Council got off to a good start by selling red and white Coyote jackets. The Girls Athjetic Association offered hats for sale. A club working equally hard by selling T-shirts was the K-Lettermen. Ads for the newspaper and the yearbook were sold by the journalism class. Starting off early with magazine sales was the junior class. When asked how some students liked selling items, they responded hesitantly. Karen McGinnes, junior class president, and top salesperson for magazines, replied, “I really didn’t like selling magazines, but I realized that it was my responsibility to help my class and to just get it done. Going out to sell items isn’t an easy job, comments Deanna Hattrup, junior. She goes on, “But once vou think about it, there is a lot of benefits that result from it.” Sponsors for the organizations have good thoughts about having the students go out and sell items. They gave some of the benefits that students acquire while selling. Dr. Galen Boehme, journalism sponsor, explains, It teaches the students how to go out and meet different people, which they will be doing all their lives. The money that is earned goes into good use. The clubs and organizations appreciate the support. For the average high school student money has to be spent wisely. He finds Ben Franklin’s words useful, A penny saved is a penny earned.

Curtis Blank, high school student teacher in the social sciences, within the past decade has deliberately put himself within situations where he has had to control his apprehensions. “I did so to some extent for the thrill, and in doing so, I learned more about myself; I found more of my identity.” Blank's five-year work in drug-abuse and counseling programs began in Kan sas City while he studied mortuary science. In the mornings I took classes in mor tuary science at Kansas City Community College, but in the afternoons, I worked in the drug treatment program at Bethany Medical Center where I counseled individuals of all ages. There I saw how fear can destructively control the lives of individuals; people resorted to drugs in order to bring some degree of order into their lives.” Blank, a KHS graduate of 1971, pursued his interest in mortuary science for 18 months when he discovered that “I like to talk too much ... and that means involvement with living people, not corpses.” So Blank left Kansas City work, and at the urging of a friend, moved to Logan, Utah to study sociology, history, and psychology at Utah State Univer sity. While going to school, Blank worked as Student teacher Curtis Blank emphasizes a point in a social science course. a counselor at Bear River Mental Health Center, Logan, where he became involved in several cases where fear, used improperly, destroyed an individual to some extent. Blank recalls the police bringing a 33-year-old man to the hospital, a man quite angry at himself and at the world since he was going through divorce procedures. “The police put this man in tight security for his own protection, but alter an hour had passed, this man wanted to talk to someone. I agreed to eo since the man had calmed down considerably. “After I visited with him for five minutes, this man pulled a knife on me, a hunting knife with a 5-inch blade. There I was-between him and a closed, locked door!” Blank recalls those ten minutes were tense, but “I talked him into putting that knife away. I did so by saying that physically harming me wouldn’t solve his personal problems; he could not project his own hurts onto someone else. This patient later recognized his personal difficulty and agreed to group counseling with his estranged wife. The marriage was saved, but Blank notes this insight from the experience: “When one is hurting, he will strike out at anything. Pulling that knife on me was his way of releasing the anger and the hurt that were inside of him. I had to realize that before I could control myself under the fearful situation.” Blank returned to Kinsley last summer with his wife and three children, living now on a family farm southeast of Kinsley. Last June he received his bachelor’s degree in sociology with a minor in history and psychology from Utah State University. Completing his student teaching program at KHS and at Offerle Middle School the first of November will certify him as a teacher. Blank's future plans include earning the master’s degree in psychology, ultimately entering the field of school counseling. “I work well with young people; furthermore, I have been fairly succescful with mv work with chemically-dependent individuals.” PALACE r ►- m a -r 9 m “Best Little Whorehouse in Texas” (R) October 22,23,24,25 7:30 p.m. “The Pirate Movie” (PG) October 29,30,31 - 7:30 p.m. “Motel Hell” Halloween Special October 30 -11 p.m. - All Seats $2 “ET” Thanksgiving Holiday Special November 24,25,26,27,28 TODAY’S ARMY IS NOW TAKING ORDERS FROM HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS.

BE ALL YOU CAN BE Sports 23A Fundamentals oi gymnastics class spurs interest among several KHS students Balance beams, uneven bars, and trampolines... Students in the gymnastic class have become familiar with this equipment. Gymnastics is a full year elective course offered for the first time this year at KHS. This class was started because ‘‘some cheerleaders wanted to learn more stunts, comments Mrs. Bobbie Lewis, physical physical education instructor. Nine girls are presently enrolled in the fifth hour class; however, more may enter at the beginning of the spring semester. ‘‘More girls were originally signed up, but due to scheduling, they dropped, states Mrs. Lewis. In college Mrs. Lewis took two gymnastic classes. All the students had to learn stunts on all the equipment. Spotters were used; however, if one could perform without spotters, she he received extra points. A spotter’s responsibility is to “take the participant through the skill without letting them fall, explains Mrs. Lewis. This year the class has learned such skills as round-offs, round-off dismounts, and walk-overs on the balance beam. Girls who couldn’t do walk-overs before are now able to do them on the floor, says Mrs. Lewis. Two problems exist in the class. We don’t have the equipment for the advanced students to go on, says Mrs. Lewis. The equipment items needed are eight-inch crash pads and a rheuter board, which is a spring board for mounting uneven bars, and a balanced beam. Now we are using the wrestling mats. I’d like to thank them for letting us use them, says Mrs. Lewis. The price of the equipment would depend on the quality of the equipment. The second problem is this: When basketball begins, much of the equipment will have to be moved, says Mrs. Lewis. Maybe we can move our equipment to the 4-H Building with the wrestling City Cleaners t: I' Buford and Vera J Brodbeck 659-3211 mats, hopes Mrs. Lewis. Mrs. Lewis plans to teach aerial tricks, wrap arounds, and hip circles, to name a few. Our equipment is limited, but we’ll try and learn as much as possible, states Mrs. Lewis. Mrs. Lewis’ goal is to teach the girls a round-off back handspring. “This stunt looks really sharp when it’s done right. It also looks a lot harder than it really is,” states Mrs. Lewis. Gymnastics may seem like a very dangerous activity; however, no major accidents have occurred because the girls are good spotters, explains Mrs. Lewis. Gymnastics also has its lighter side. Whenever we hear a crash, we know it’s either Cheryl (Kersting) or Beth (Gleason), laughs Mrs. Lewis. Most of the girls enjoy the class. Michelle Hattrup, gymnastic student, voices her opinion.

This 1920 musical comedy is sure to provide the audience with an enjoyable night of entertainment. The talented cast of nine KHS students, directed by Mrs. Vivian Coppock and Duane Williams, and the many chorus members working under Mrs. Dixie Williams have spent countless hours rehearsing for the two-night performance this Thursday and Friday, 8 p.m. in the high school auditorium. A stage crew composed of KHS students has designed two different sets of scenery to develop the plot of the musical. Support from the public has been great so far. Community members have sewed and donated costumes. Some ladies have volunteered their time to put on stage makeup. Although local interest has been good, the most important factor for the overall success will be the community's support by attending the event. Williams says, “It’s a lot of fun but also a lot of hard work. Opening night provides an actor-audience relationship which ties everything together and makes the hard work pay off.” An example of when hard work and long hours did not pay off was the performance of “Cheaper by the Dozen” two years ago. The family of the director of that year’s play felt that a town the size of Kinsley should have filled the auditorium more completely than it was. Janet Gray, cast membe in “Cheaper by the Dozen,” states, “It was a disappointment in seeing a small crowd in the auditorium after all the long hours of practicing and hard work.” Being involved in this year’s musical will be a highlight for many students as they reflect upon this event. This event will be even more memorable if the members of the community turn out and support the student venture. Who's Who literature among mail for senior students © By Shane Shanks Opening the mailbox can be a real experience for seniors. Buried among the bills and the free deodorant samples are some of the most interesting advertisements ever made. An envelope explaining how to earn $10,000 turns out to be a plo to get students interested in the Army. The Army even offers a free pair of socks to anyone wanting more information concerning enlistment. Mark Gales is a senior who gets mail from the Army, Air Force, Marines, and ROTC all the time.” He recalls one Ar my letter in particular. The envelope said I could be 'the first on the block to have Army socks.’” He declined the offer, not wanting to be placed on a list for heavier recruiting efforts. Colleges and universities also use mail to recruit students across the country. Baker University, Kansas University, and Kansas State are only a few of the competitors in the race to get a senior enrolled. “Recruiting mail” from colleges often comes in envelopes decorated with several different colors and snappy slogans. Karla Wagner estimates, I probably get about two letters from colleges a week.” The colleges try to get her attention with “flashy” envelopes and visitation programs. The information about visitations prompted Wagner to travel to Winfield to tour both St. John’s and Southwestern Colleges. Does she really read all the mail? “I don’t usually read letters from 2-year colleges and vo-techs because I’m not really interested in them. I skim through some of the mail, but I don’t even open a lot of it. A third type of mail to seniors offers a membership in an honor” program like Who’s Who Among American High School Students, or a similar organization for science, journalism, or music. Students receive the applications in the mail and are asked to list several of their activities for a personal biography which will appear in a book featuring each member’s activities. Shawna Stegman’s biography will be published in the 1982 volume of “Who’s Who. She claims she will be listed for her achievements but she is skeptical because she does not know exactly what they are. Concerning the meaning of the award. Stegman replies, It’s sort of an honor.” After filling out the biography profile, students are offered” a copy of the membership book for $24.95. If a student wishes, he may also have a photo published for an additional $5. Stegman chose to have her biography listed without purchasing a book. It was just too expensive.” Another expensive facet of the Who’s Who program is its scholarship which is offered to those who send in additional money for an application. Stegman declined to apply for the scholarship. She notes, “I thought it was a joke.” Are the Who’s Who-type programs really valid? Miss Nadine Stallard, counselor, finds them disturbing. She explains, What really bothers me is how they get their information and how a student qualifies. The high school doesn’t give them that information.” She describes the Who’s Who scholarship as “unnecessary.” The state requires that each school have a coun- selor. Through counseling and the ACT College Search program, we can find scholarships that we know are already available,” says Stallard. Although the mailman delivers the mail, it is up to the recipient to judge its importance and credibility.________________ Everyone has his own interpretation of Thanksgiving. The second graders were asked this question about the holiday: If you were the pilgrims and the Indians approached you, what would be the first thing you would say or do? Kim Smith: Good-bye! Matt Luthi: I would scalp them. Bobby Prince: “Do you have any supply food?” Kelsi Wire and Heather Ploger: “I’d run and hide! Molly Ploger: I would tell them to go jump in the lake.” Chris Bargmann: Scat! Eric Kerns: “I’d probably play with them. That would be the thing I would do.” Matthew Froetschner: I’d ask them ‘What’s your name?’ and then I’d stand there.” Shaun Panzer: I’d ask them to eat if they were friends. Paul Schmidt: I’d ask them how they are doing and another thing-go jump in the lake..’’ Reviews 7A ‘Winkerbean’ shows high school happenings from several views; Batiuk selectively picks humorous situations to develop interest by Sheila Ackerman No money for records or a show? One cheap way to find entertainment is to read the newspaper. The only part of the paper I read is the “funnies.” The comic section can tell a story like “Prince Valiant. can grip emotions in the soap-style like “Brenda Starr, or can make a political statement as “Doonesbury. My favorites of all the “funnies are the ones based on human nature. “Funky Winkerbean hits close to home since it deals with a group of high school kids and their experiences. The high school is the Westview Scapegoats. Just recently they won their first football game—ever. After their win, the fans tore down the bleachers instead of the goal posts.

Boehme In dealing with the girls’ basketball program, a big-statement was made in a recent series of strips. He depicts two girls debating whether it was just practice or a game; usually no fans show up for either. The character Funky doesn’t make the strip, but he is needed to tie the lives of the characters together. Of Funky’s friends, Crazy Harry is a definite “plus for the strip. Batiuk has done many different series on “Crazy. The best one was when Crazy was into “air bands. He even went to the International Air Guitar Championships. This series was very creative and started trends of the “air band around Kinsley and the nation. The comic strip did not pass up the chance to capitalize on the video game craze. Crazy Harry is known as “the eliminator and can play forever on one quarter before he is blasted into hyperspace.

The OK Chorale is a choir that Don Streit, junior high English teacher, got together about 2-2 ‘ years ago. “Mr. Boehme called me to see if I would play my guitar and get together some other people to sing for the Kinsley After-Harvest Festival at Medicalodge, states Streit. Since then, the OK Chorale has sung in Kinsley, Offerle, and Dodge City churches. Recently they appeared in the telethon on Channel 6 to raise money for the senior citizens of Southwest Kansas. Streit states how they got involved with the telethon: Mrs. Behnke, a member of the choir, has a brother working in Dodge City who had heard us sing and told us that we should give it a try. We all thought it sounded like fun, so we did. It was a talent show with about 40 acts and they had judges who had to pick out ten acts; we didn’t make it to the finals, states Streit. Later the mayor of Dodge City, Dale Northern, called and asked us to appear on the show anyway. We couldn’t compete for any of the prizes though, explains Streit. Sing a New Song and Anne were the songs that the OK Chorale sang on the telethon. Members of the choir besides Streit and Behnke are: Carol Streit, Julie Ackerman, Dave Smith, Dixie Williams, Duane Williams, Sister Amy Mc-Frederick, Kathy Stegman, Charles Kingry, and Lyndell Adams. With a smile on his face, Streit says, We are not professionals; we just like to get together and have a lot of fun. Dr. Theis is scheduled to return Dr. Tim Theis returns to Kinsley High School for a series of lectures designed for students and parents Nov. 17-19. Dr. Theis, former Associate Professor of Human Development and Counseling at the George Peabody College of Vanderbilt University, will be making his third appearance at KHS to meet with students for discussion of contemporary issues. This year’s presentations, entitled You Can Run, but You Can’t Hide, feature a new emphasis. Dana Randel, principal, notes, Dr. Theis will be dealing more with alcohol and drug problems rather than just marriage problems. Wednesday, Nov. 17, Dr. Theis invites parents, church groups, and civic organizations to attend an introduction to his presentations in the high school auditorium, 7:00 p.m. This seminar allows the community to get involved, and to express their concerns.

Bob Koontz, instructor for the course and KHS physical education teacher, explains how he got started in “Adventures in Attitudes”: “My wife made me go to the meeting, and the only reason I went was to get her off my back.” Koontz now says that he is really hooked” on the whole program. “It’s not just an individual thing. You’re constantly working with other people,” states Koontz. He believes that working with others on the different topics give a person some great reinforcement. “Adventures in Attitudes has been around since 1957. Bob Conklin invented the course. He instructed the course in the Minneapolis, Minnesota adult program. It was simple but enormously effective. The course touches such subjects as these: personal values, communication skills, personal reactions. In the course, participants are asked to verbalize (set a goal), visualize (see themselves doing the goal), and vitalize (do the goal). “It’s not just all serious talk all the time; we also have a lot of fun,” comments Koontz. The discussions are all led by the group. The leader just starts the subject of talk, but the people in the group do the talking. Each discussion topic is limited by a set period of time. “The reason for this,” adds Koontz, “is the group rarely finishes the topic and as an individual you’ll remember better and will want to go back to it. Koontz recommends all high school students as well as adults to take part in the course. Right now, I don’t have a set date for starting the course, explains Koontz. The course is set up for 30 hours. I don’t know how we’ll work the time out-that is, how long and how many times the class will be held each week. The course can be taken for credit from some of the Kansas colleges. Koontz summarizes, It is a very beneficial course to take, expecially in the time that we are living in now.” Dates set for Christmas music; traditional songs will be played Choir and band members are busy preparing for the upcoming Christmas concerts. KHS vocal and band students will perform Dec. 12, 2 p.m., in the high school auditorium. “This is the first opportunity we’ve had to show what we can do. We are working hard to put on a good show,” says Duane Williams, vocal instructor. The a cappella choir will perform such numbers as “Star,” “Message of Holly, and a medley of Irving Berlin’s Christmas songs. The concert choir will sing One Little Star,” “Christmas Wishes, and “Sing for Joy” to name a few. Traditional carols of the season will be sung with the audience asked to participate,” states Williams. Offerle Middle School will present a program Dec. 13, 7:30 p.m., in the gymnasium at Offerle. Students in grades 5-8 will perform both vocally and instrumentally. Everyone is working hard. We should have a reasonably good concert,” states Williams.

DODGE EITY COMMUNITY COLLEGE £3 30A Ce nterfold the excha Spanish students discover differences between Sj Down a Kinsley High School hall come four students laughing and. with a smile, saying “hello” to anyone in the halls. They are four senior students from Spain: Teresa Taboada, Javier (pronounced Ha ve air) Iturralde, Luis Arechabala, and Jose’ Arechabala. Taboada went (for eight years) to a Catholic school run by French nuns. She seems to enjoy the freedom of a public school in America. Taboada describes her old school as “very little, a good school for French, and very strict.” She adds with emphasis. “Only girls, no men!” She came to Kinsley to learn English, to be with her family, and “to be with Kinsley people because they are nice.” Jose’, her cousin, interrupts, “But you didn’t know that before.” “But you told me they were nice,” reasons Taboada. Iturralde, the Arechabalas’ friend, came to America because the twins asked him to come. His plans include college in the United States so coming a year earlier did not matter to him. He went to a different private school. El Prado, than the twins. Iturralde met Jose and Luis in a private health club when he was “about eight years old.” Iturralde remembers, “I was skating and I fell to the floor. One of the boys fell with me because we crashed. He got up and said, ‘Hi!’ And we became friends.” Jose’ and Luis are identical twins. Although their physical similarities cause some identification problems, they can be easily recognized by other characteristics. They can not always be distinguished by how much they talk. Jose’ explains why this happens; “I was quiet in the interview at first because Luis said what I would have said. And sometimes when people think Luis is quiet, it’s because I say what he would have said.” Jose’s manner carries the image of a big brother. Mainly he corrects his brother’s, cousin’s, and friend’s English like a teacher. If one of them says “much good. he will correct it with better.” Once Taboada said less expensive, and he said to her : “Then it’s cheaper. Jose’ and Luis have been going to KHS for approximately nine months. They first moved here because their father's business brought him to Kinsley. Since they were already planning on going to college in the U.S., they decided to finish their schooling in America. The twins went to a private French school with around 5,000 students, larger than several private colleges in Kansas. Differences Jose’ describes the differences between American and Spanish schools as being everything.” Everything; everything is very different, remarks Jose’. For instance, the schedule does not include business classes (e.g., typing and computers). Luis feels “this (in America) is a better '(school) system.” He believes the biggest difference between the U.S. and Spain is the people, their ways of living.” Taboada provides him the word “customs” which she pronounces costumes.” Luis continues, For example, you eat a lot earlier here. In Spain we eat lunch at 2 or 3 p.m. Here they go to bed at 10 p.m. I go to bed at 12 midnight,” says Taboada. Except on weekends; weekends I’m up until 3 or 4 a.m. The four Spanish students used to live and go to school in Madrid, central Spain, which has a population of four million. However, they spent their holidays in Ribadesella, northern Spain, which lies on the Cantabric Sea. Spanish fads They all like mini-skirts, one fad in Spain, especially the twins and Iturralde. Toboada does not wear them often because her mother disapproves of miniskirts, but she does own a few. Bad people, people who passes off,” wear punk clothes. People who “pass off’ do not care about anything. When asked to do something, they reply: I pass.” The Rolling Stones, Meat Loaf, and Simon and Garfunkel had concerts in Madrid last summer. My mother went to see Simon and Garfunkel, chuckles Iturralde. “Can you ark valley ...THE MOST RESPECTED — NAME IN BURIAL VAULTS 807 Capitol Ave Kinsley. Ks. .. How do you say?____only likes classical music.” Video games and movies enjoy the same success in Spain that they do in the U.S. Any movie that does well in the U.S. goes quickly to Madrid. “Spanish movies are not too good. “Aplauso,” a Spanish television program, has dancing and singing similar to American Bandstand.” Jose’ says the music is international music. Luis thinks it is new wave,” Iturralde calls it punk music,” and Taboada considers it to be “English music.” One night the Spanish students were parked in the Weyrich parking lot and Glenn Frame, KHS graduate, wanted to listen to their Spanish music. They decided to teach him how to dance the Spanish way and everybody started to dance. Taboada remarks, “Someone said, ‘Let’s go put American music on.’ Everyone else said, ‘No, Spanish music.’” Each region in Spain has their own dance, clothes, and instruments,” explains Jose’. The ‘flamenco’ comes from southern Spain, and the ‘Jota’ comes from eastern Spain.” Arechabala family The walls of the Arechabala house in Kinsley display pictures of girl friends, boy friends, relatives, and pets.

Several show the lush green, rolling hills of northern Spain. One room has a zebra skin rug which Arechabala senior bagged. As a family they cure their own ham, and they have a wine cellar with wines from France, Germany, and Spain. While most Americans have basketball goals, the Arechabalas have a practice polo building. Slanted boards run about one-third of the way up the diamond-shaped wire fence walls. The slant allows the ball to roll back to the center where a wooden horse stands. Jose’, Luis, and Taboada’s brother, Nacho, would like to go to Palm Beach, Fla. someday to play polo because that is where the best polo is played. Due to Fidel Castro’s take over in Cuba, all of the memories are not happy ones. When Castro came, our parents went to Panama, states Luis. “We, my sister Chris, Jose’, and I, were born in Panama and then moved to Spain while we were very young. While the bitter feelings toward Castro still linger, they have happy feelings about life. Luis notes, We like to make life happy.’’ This helps explain their friendly man- Swedish exchange student has opportunity to experience the American ways of life Magnus Englund, a senior from Sweden, has the unique opportunity to exchange Swedish customs with his new American friends and American customs with his Swedish friends. I thought I would have to do much more explaining than I have, states Englund. Englund talks about some of the differences between Sweden and the United States. ‘‘Sweden doesn’t have as big a population as the U.S. so we can’t keep a volunteer army. When a boy finishes school, he has to go into the Swedish army for a year,” remarks Englund. The music tastes and styles seem to be different between the people of the two countries. Most musical styles start in England so changes reach Sweden before they do the U.S. Englund notes. “Around here it’s mostly rock music. I like all types of music. Two years ago I was into more punk music. It was a big thing to be punk so I was punk too. Now I guess I think I’m too big to listen to punk. Except when I’m in a bad mood, I’ll put on punk music. It’s more feeling. At discos in Sweden, people dance to D.J.’s. If there happens to be a band, they listen to the band and dance afterwards to records. Most of the sports in the two countries are the same, except Sweden does not have football. Englund wanted to try football because he had never played it before. He also ran with the Kinsley High School cross country team when its schedule did not interfere with the football schedule. Football is more like gang fighting. It’s probably the reason you don’t have street fighting here. In Europe they have riots in the streets; here they let out their aggression in football, remarks Englund. For the past two years Englund has lived in his family’s summer house in southern Sweden along the coast. His dad works and lives during the week at Goteborg. He drives home on the weekends. Englund describes the area around his home as a big summer resort. To live there in the winter is boring, but in the summer it’s the greatest place on earth. last school year, asking if he wanted to live with them in Kansas. According to him, location in America did not matter. I knew there was something named Kansas, but I didn’t know what or where it was, states Englund. He adds, I’m afraid of cows and horses. I don’t like them and they don’t like me either. Wild animals are no problem because they’re afraid of me as I am of them. But a cow isn’t afraid of me; it’s just me afraid of him. Englund chose to come because both he and his parents thought it would be a memorable time of life. His parents miss him, but one of his friends has a different reaction to his absence. A friend said he was happy to get rid of me because he would have better results on tests, chuckles Englund. When Englund returns to Sweden, he will have several stories to tell his friends about American customs. One of these customs will be that of dating. Ginny Blanton, a member of the host family, notes, “In Sweden the students don’t go out on dates. A bunch gets together and goes out together. So I tried to explain to him about dates. “I haven’t tried the dating yet, remarks Englund. It seems a little strange to me. Some stories he already sends home in letters. “I’ve never been good at writing letters, states Englund. “I’ve never written so many letters in my life. I didn’t think I had so many friends.

All letters will be answered. Paula Schaller. freshman, answered such a magazine ad and has gained a pen pal from Sweden. I found this nonprofit organization called International Friendship League (IFL) in the ‘Good Housekeeping' magazine and wrote to them. You had to send $2 to receive two names if you were a new member. If you wanted additional names after those, it was $2 per name,” states Schaller. The IFL sent Schaller two names-one from Sweden and one from England. The one from England got sick of writing so she quit. I still write to the girl in Sweden. She is very dependable, explains Schaller. Schaller states why she decided to get involved with overseas pen pals: My mother told me she had a pen pal when she was a girl. I didn’t know this and it made me surprised and interested in something new. When Schaller mails a letter, it takes a week to get there. The letters go air mail, which is 40 cents every time a letter is mailed. I receive a letter every 31 to 4 weeks from Maire Suensson, my pen pal from Sweden. states Schaller. “I like having pen pals because you get a regular bunch of mail, stamps that are neat, views of a different way of their schools, families, houses, and recreation, says Schaller. Suensson is not the only pen pal Schaller has; she has Tracey Blair from New Zealand and Jean Guerin from Australia. Karen McGinnes, junior, has one pen pal, Joan Tasiopoular, from Agii Anaigiri, Athens, Greece. Magazines were not the way McGinnes reached her pen pal. I was watching television one morning before having to go to work and they announced that if you wanted a pen pal, write to this certain place, so I did, explains McGinnes. It takes about four days for a letter to reach Greece with three stamps on it. We have written for three years. We write when each of us has free time, says McGinnes. It’s neat to have a pen pal. You get to know a person you’ve never met before, by just writing letters and by exchanging photographs,” states McGinnes. Troy Weiss, senior, was contacted by his pen pal from Austrialia. She is 16 and enjoys stamp collecting, reading, and dancing. We have written back and forth for over a year now,” states Weiss. When we write, which is not too often, we write about school, and what we do out of school. In their country the seasons are just the opposite of ours,” explains Weiss. I enjoy having a pen pal because it is kind of a surprise whenever I get a letter from her since she is from a different country,” says Weiss. Lewis Press Inc. Students in the KHS French program take advantage of a pen pal program operated through International Youth Service in Finland. According to Dr. Galen Boehme, the four students in this year’s French program are searching for pen pals in France, Italy, Haiti, Columbia, Spain, Congo, and Australia. For 85$, the IYS sends each student the names of four possible pen pals in the countries requested. The names of the local students are sent to students 10-20 years of age throughout tY . world. This pen pal program has worked well for several reasons. One came two years ago when one of the French I students received a letter completely written in French. The next class period was spent reading and translating the letter, says Boehme.

Kinsley, Kansas 67547 Fe atures33A Minnesota 4-H’ “To make the best better” is the 4-H motto. This year, 4-H members throughout Edwards County tried to do just that when they invited 4-H members from the area around Murry, Minnesota to come and visit the Kinsley area. The idea came from Leo Schinstock, community leader for Northern Star. This last August, twelve members of the Minnesota club came to the Kinsley area; next year some of the Kinsley area members will travel to Minnesota for an exchange visit. Debra Oliphant, 4-H member, explains how a visitor got to stay with her. “Dale Bastin, county extension agent, set it up so they would stay with a person their own age. We wrote each other and told what our family did, how many were in our family, what our ages were, and what were some of our interests.” s come and visit “While they were here, everyone got to go on a picnic and see Boothill. Also, there was a swimming party at Oliphant’s pool, comments Kay Scott, Nothern Star 4-H leader. Oliphant notices that the size of the counties differs. The members from around Murry came from such a big county compared to ours. There they don’t know the names of all their members.” During this exchange week, members from the Murry area learned a lot, but so did the hosting members. “They thought the land out here was still untamed with Indians and stuff like that, states Shelby Shanks, 4-H host member. In the Murry area they farm less land but grow more on the land than is grown here, notes Scott. The reason for this is the abundance of rainfall they receive there. Kinsley area One of the learning experiences that Oliphant's visitor had was that of treating cows. Scott’s visitor learned that here feedlots are bigger than those around Murry. Scott explains that around Murry, they have their own little feedlot on their own farms. The groups involved in this exchange project are Lewis, Sunflower, Trenton Workers, and Northern Star. A date has not been set for the trip yet, but 4-H members are already planning money-making projects in order that a goal of 20 members can travel to Minnesota next year. The kids sound really interested and enthusiastic about going, states Scott. Mandy Hetzel, 4-H member en thusiastically adds, I’m really looking forward to going and I think it will be a great experience.” Parents learn about school from day-long conference Everyone else does; why can’t we?” This is the thinking that Dana Handel, Kinsley High School principal, has about high school parent-teacher conferences. KHS tried Nov. 1 a new program designed to give parents and teachers a chance to meet and discuss student problems. All the other schools I’ve been to have had very successful high school meetings,” states Randel. I feel conferences are needed so not only bad news gets to the parents but also news of how well a student may be doing is relayed,” expresses Randel. Miss Patricia Penland, KHS math teacher, believes that downslips don’t handle all the problems.” Parents need to know “what the problems are that caused the grade the students receive.” Miss Penland discusses with parents why this subject is taught, what is expected of the student, and how the student should continue his her studies. Mrs. Bonnie Blanton is a KHS special education teacher and also a parent of a high school student. As a teacher, she finds that conferences “open up com By getting to know the parent, if a problem comes up, it’s much easier to pick up the phone and discuss it because the parent isn’t just another name. The parent is a real person, states Mrs. Blanton. As a parent Mrs. Blanton feels having an understanding of what the programs are like, you then can help your child deal with problems in the classroom.” Mrs. Lona Korf, teacher of science at KHS, believes that this exchange helps the teacher’s understanding. The meetings give teachers a more realistic idea of some of the other things students have to do. Sometimes a teacher gives assignments, thinking their classes are the only one, without considering the student’s other responsibilities,” explains Mrs. Korf. John Davis, KHS business instructor, agrees conferences give teachers a whole new outlook on how students are really working to earn their grade.” The parents may tell a teacher about the time a student spends out of class preparing for a class. This new understanding can only help everyone involved,” says Mrs. Elaine Froetschner feels the conferences are very beneficial to the parent who takes the time to find out about what their students are doing.” Mrs. Rachel Leith thinks the program is great. It gives you a chance to understand just what your kids are doing here.” The parents of 40 percent of the 159 KHS students attended the conferences. This number may seem low but the majority (153) of exchanges took place with freshmen parents. Randel thinks this is a building year. We get the parents interested and used to coming, then the support will grow.” Because of the better than expected” turnout, another conference may be planned second semester. We hope that conferences will build interest and get everyone involved, comments Randel.

The value of these activities should be measured in other ways than financial cost. Dana K. Randel, KHS principal, estimates that KHS spent around 4.75 per cent of its budget last year for extracurricular activities. The Kansas State High School Athletic Association (KSHSAA) states that any high school should spend only .5 per cent of the total district budget for activities. Randel finds this percentage figure unrealistic based on his previous experience with activities. ‘‘The KSHSAA doesn’t realize that this is not enough to operate efficiently the activity program,” says Randel. Randel explains how KSHSAA arrived at this figure (.5%). The activities association went to the State Department of Education and secured two sets of figures concerning each school district in Kansas: first, the non-reimbursable money spent on activity transportation; second, the amount spent on supplemental contracts to personnel. ‘‘The association added these two amounts and noted the sum was approximately .5 per cent of the total spent for school budgets in the State of Kansas,” explains Randel. Randel feels that the .5 per cent was inaccurately determined. ‘‘The figure does not consider the hidden costs of an activity program-janitorial services, utility costs, and local funds raised (gate receipts and cash contributions), all contributing to the success of any activity program.” For the supplemental costs, the local school district includes the salaries of activity sponsors, coaches’ salaries, the cost of equipment for the activities, transportation charges, and salaries of short-term personnel (announcers, scorekeepers, etc.). For the 1981-82 school year approximately $30,000 was spent on coaches’ salaries. $16,000 on busing, $13,000 on equipment, and approximately $1,700 for announcers and scorekeepers. This is a total of $60,700. The total school budget is approximately $1.27 million. The activity budget is 4.8 per cent of the total school budget. This figure relates to activities only at the high school. Not included is the cost of lighting, heating, costs of officials (who are not school personnel), and janitors. “Therefore, any figure that we arrive at cannot be the true cost; so how can the state activity association arrive at a state percentage figure?” asks Randel.

I’m convinced that the quality of our program in the future will be determined more by the level of participation rather than by the availabilty of funds. “Another matter exists other than cost. It’s this: What does a student gain from participating in activities? “How many of our students would do as well as they do in the classroom if they did not have to meet eligibility requirements for activities? I’ve seen young people do better classroom work during football, basketball, and wrestling seasons that they do in the spring when these sports are over. Furthermore, these young people are achieving a degree of success here that they may not receive in their academic work. They’re also gaining leadership skills, realizing the responsibilities that go along with certain obligations.

An individual has many choices. The National Transportation Safety Board is convinced that there is an “irrefutable” link between drinking and highway deaths among youths. In 1981, about 25,000 American people died in alcohol-related highway deaths. Of that number 8,485, or 34 percent, of the fatalities involved people between 16 and 25. The figure included passengers and drivers. Th State of Kansas has already enacted stricter driving-while-impaired laws. According to the National Safety Council, stricter DWI laws “are not likely to reduce the numbers of alcohol-related deaths and injuries. Harsh penalties by themselves can actually weaken the deterrent effect of DWI laws, because they tend to increase plea bargaining, acquittals, police leniency, and even corruption.” The Kansas School Board Association within the last two weeks endorsed a proposal to the state legislature to raise the legal drinking age to 21. The legal age for purchasing 3.2 beer is still 18 in Kansas. Many opponents suggest that 3.2 beer isn't strong enough to worry about. The simple fact is this: “There is approximately one-half ounce of absolute alcohol in a 12-ounce can of 3.2 beer or in a 4-ounce glass of average wine or in a mixed drink containing a shot of whiskey. A drink is a drink. Two cans of 3.2 beer are just as dangerous as two mixed drinks containing hard liquor.” Depending on weight, the average drinker is brain-impaired for one hour per can of beer and should not drive until such time has elapsed. This point comes from “Seven Reasons Why Concerned Lawmakers Vote for 21.” The major argument against raising the legal age to 21 is that teenagers will get booze no matter what the legal age. When the legal age is 18, 3.2 beer is bought for friends who are at the young age of 14. Persons who are 21 usually don’t hang around with the high school crowd. The proposed 21 law would help the nation cut the alcohol-related accidents by about 28 percent, but 28 percent of 8,485 is very significant in respect to the number of lives of teenagers saved. Legislators are trying to keep the roads safe from tragic drunk driving accidents. Are we, the public, trying equally hard? The new DWI laws are strict but cannot be effectively enforced. The scary part is that only the drinking driver has the choice, but the innocent victim in an alcohol-related accident has no choice. The innocent victim must rely on an impaired person’s decision. It’s hard to say “no” to a drink at a Christmas party because drinking is fashionable in today’s society. It is an individual's choice but the consequences could affect many lives. Poems describe the facets of Christmas This time of the year is marked by parents reading stories and poems to their little ones. The book, “Christmas Ideals,” is full of the seasonal poems, several seldom read or heard. One favorite that can be found in the book is “’Twas the Night Before Christmas.” Clement Moore wrote this clever and humorous poem, telling how a man sees through his own eyes what St. Nicholas is really like. Moore describes St. Nick as a jolly ol’ man that shakes like a bowl full of jelly when he laughs. “Join in the Caroling by Rowena Bennett has a title that speaks for itself. Jean Wyttenback’s “Kitty’s Present” is a touching poem of how a little girl remembers her little kitten at Christmas time. Santa was asked to bring presents for the kitten’s stocking too. All these poems and many more like them can be found in “Christmas Ideals.” But a poem that cannot be found there is Shortages.” Gary S. Null wrote his poem in 1973 to show how the early days of Christmas in the United States do not have to differ radically from today’s Christmas. He proves to us that even though many material items are not in our reach anymore, we still can do without them. “Shortages by Gary S. Null When the season's lack of wattage sometimes darkens winter nights, Remember there were happy holidays before electric lights. When turning down the thermostat makes this a chilly yule. Remember homes were once quite warm with only wood for fuel. When the grocer’s out of raisins and the butcher’s out of meat, Remember families once farmed and canned all they had to eat. When discount shelves are empty in the midst of shopping chores, Remember there were joyous days before department stores. But still there is good will to give and cheer this season brings. It can still be “Merry Christmas” with fewer earthly things. OpinionsasA Editor’s column —anane onsnKs Possibility of spring production hinges on time and student interest Recently there has been an interest in presenting a spring play. This interest is partially fueled by the success of the fall musical, “No, No, Nanette. ’ But the interest in a spring play is also based on the opportunities offered by presenting a drama. First, any stage presentation gives students an opportunity to learn. Actors receive practice in memorization, character projection, and in stage presence. Backstage workers learn cooperation as well as set-building and make-up techniques. A play also offers opportunities to students who are not singers or dancers. While “No, No, Nanette featured only one non-singing part, a play would provide a chance for those who aren’t comfortable as singers to win major acting roles. Presenting a spring play would allow faculty members to explore dramatic interests. Another opportunity involves the expertise of townspeople in designing period costumes and hair Breezes Kleaky High School Vol. 32. No. 4 Kinaloy.

Boehme styles. But before a decision is made about whether to hold a spring play, two factors must be considered-time and interest. Time “No, No, Nanette’’ was presented during the “buffer” week following football season. However, in the spring no such buffer week exists. Basketball, wrestling, and debate seasons melt into regional and state music competitions which are then followed by track, golf, and class night. Another reason time is an important factor deals with practicing. Rehearsals for the all-school musical were held twice a week. In the spring, however, this might be impossible. With basketball on Tuesdays and Fridays, wrestling matches on Mondays or Thursdays, and BOE prohibition of Wednesday-night activities, it would be difficult to schedule practices that all cast members could attend. Rehearsals for the fall production lasted about two months with practices two times per week. If a spring play is to be produced, rehearsals should start soon especially since some weeks would be limited to one practice. Interest The number of students that auditioned for “No, No, Nanette indicates the KHS students are interested in dramatic productions. More than 30 people tried out for the nine acting roles. The Kinsley-Offerle community is also interested in watching student productions. Approximately 500 attended the two performances of “No, No, Nanette. Nanette. But this information is history. The question now is if the interest still exists. As of yet, a spring play is only an idea-no administrative decision has been made. Dana Randel, principal, notes, “We have to determine if there is enough interest among the students. Students desiring a spring play have a clear-cut responsibility to let teachers and administrators know their feelings. Homemade candy provides a treat The children were nestled all snug in their beds, while visions of sugar plums danced in their heads. This familiar phrase is from the poem “’Twas the Night Before Christmas. It is often heard during the Christmas holiday. Just pondering upon these delicious thoughts makes one think about the traditional Christmas family recipes. One that’s sure to tingle the taste buds is the delicious candy, Boston creams, an old German recipe. 6 cups-granulated sugar, for the sweet tooth in the family; 2 cups-white Karo corn syrup, for the sticky little fingers; 2 cups real cream, for a rich flavor. Stir together and bring to a boil to tantalize the taste. When one drops a sample of the ingredients into cold water, the ingredients should form a soft ball. Add chopped nuts, for those who like extra crunch. Add red and green candied cherries, for those who like and enjoy the Christmas colors. Pour batter into a greased 9 x 13 - inch pan. Let the creams set for at least two weeks, the older the better. Cut into any sized square. So while your children are all nestled, all snug in their beds, please make for them some Boston creams.

The cycle changes from friendship rings, mood rings, headbands, and now to friendship pins. A friendship pin is actually a safety pin with various types and sizes of beads strung on it. Each individual that participates has her own “special design” of beads. One may use different colored and sized beads. The main purpose of a friendship pin is “to exchange with friends and students at school,” states sophomore Jamie Balman. “Friendship pins are mainly for younger or grade school kids. I think they are a neat fad. I only wish the students at KHS would be more involved,” expresses Balman. People pin friendship pins on different clothing articles. Tina Bratton, sophomore, states, “I wear friendship pins on my shoestrings.” Balman knows friends who wear the pins on shirts and sweaters. A kindergartener from Southside, Cindy Gilliam, does not put the friendship beads on shoestrings or clothing articles but “on my canvas school bag.” Friendship pins are “not a thoughtless fad. They have various meanings. I find that the meaning differs from one age group to another,” states Balman. One way that seems to capture the younger generation, like the grade school students, is placing the pins on shoestrings. “When a pin is given to a friend and is placed on the right shoestring, it means that the two of them are good friends. But when the pin is placed on the left shoestring, its meaning is different. It shows that the two of them are not strong friends. If a friend gets into an argument or a fight with another, their pin is placed on the left shoestring and one of the beads is taken off,” states Balman. Older students, such as junior high age, place their own personally designed pins that they make to give away on the “left shoestring. On the right” are the beads which the student has received from friends. Placing pins on clothing articles is generally the same as the shoestring format. The only difference is if one has a boy or girlfriend.” When this occurs, the pin is placed on the left side of the sweater or shirt, meaning that person is “near to your heart.” Cindy Sigwing, a junior, expresses, “Friendship pins don’t really prove anything. I do it just to be involved. It’s like having a decoration on your shoes. “I really enjoy this particular fad but I feel that it will come and go in a short period of time just like all other fads have.” ARK VALLEY t Jis Kn ... THE MOST RESPECTED NAME IN BURIAL VAULTS 807 Capitol Ave Kinsley. Ks. Students find shirts provide uniqueness “To be or not to be ’’; will the t-shirt trend survive? According to Janet Schniffner, employer at Shirts-T-Rrific in Dodge City, sales for t-shirts with slogans on them have gone down in the last year. Sales have gone down mostly because of the economy, explains Schniffner; “t-shirts can get pretty expensive. Traci Herrmann, KHS junior, states, “I’d rather buy a regular shirt because you can wear it more; I still like to wear t-shirts but it’s limited to when you can wear them.” What kind of slogans sell the most? “Right now the ones that put men down usually go over pretty good for the older female groups, adds Schniffner. ‘The little kids are going for E. T. shirts and the teenage groups are going for the partying slogans.” Herrmann looks for a slogan that has a funny saying on it. “If the slogan is funny and to the point, it will sell pretty fairly,” explains Schniffner. What do buyers look for in a slogan? Herrmann believes people pick out the slogan that explains what they don’t want to say themselves. Shirts-T-Rrific carry over 200 slogans for people to choose from. Herrmann explains how she goes about choosing the one she wants. I look over all the slogans and decide what kind I want. It usually ends up that I get the cheapest one. I mostly buy the shirts for myself,” continues Herrmann. But Schniffner believes that more people buy the shirts for presents. Now that it is nearing Christmas time, t-shirt sales have gone up,” Schniffner admits. “But only time will tell for how long the sales will stay up.” Centerfold43 Shirts with a message have special appeal for KHS students as Jennifer Cop-pock (sophomore), Lex Wilkerson (junior), and Tina Bratton (sophomore) illustrate. New trends lead to family disputes It's hopeless. I’ve tried my best to be up-to-date. I really want to be trendy but my record at keeping up with the latest fads is marred with bad experiences. It all started with pet rocks. I spent my life savings buying pet rocks in all sizes, shapes, and colors. But two months later it seemed no one remembered what a pet rock was. I should have learned my lesson. However. I was young and foolish and forgot my previous mistake when I saw a slinky, the walks-down-stairs-alone-or-in pairs spring toy. It was really fun pushing it down the stairs. But the fun lasted only about an hour. It ended when my little sister decided she wanted to play also. Not only did she manage to tie the slinky in a knot, but she also got it tangled in her hair. Just like a hero, I saved the day by jerking loose the slinky and a wad of her hair. The next fad I encountered was silly putty-the little ball of soft clay that bounces like a rubber ball. Silly putty and I got along fine until the day I told my sister it was a piece of gum. It tasted so bad that she swallowed it. (Isn't that just like a sister?) Mom and Dad didn’t enjoy the trip to the hospital to get her stomach pumped. Nwas overjoyed when I finally got a set of clackers. They are two big mar bles on each end of a string that hit together, bounce apart, and hit again, each time producing a “clack sound. But getting clackers took some careful planning. I knew that screaming in the depart ment store would get me what I wanted. Despite the scene I created, my parents still refused to buy me some clackers, but the department store manager gave me a free set, probably to get me out of the store. Of course, in the car on the way home, I got them clacking as fast and as loud as I could. Evidently my folks didn’t appreciate the noise. Dad made me throw them out the window. My experience with other trendy items are equally depressive. I think fad items made my parents hate me. For Christmas one year, Santa brought a skateboard for me. I hopped on for the first time and skated around the Christmas tree. Everything was great E - Z Stop Hwy 56 Niles until the board slipped out from under me, raced across the floor, and knocked a hole in the front door. Both parents complained” that I couldn't behave and sent me to my room. Then, when he thought I wasn’t watch ing. Dad gave skateboarding a try. He also slipped off the board and sent it sailing at the front door, making a second hole. I could tell Mom was mad. I never saw that skateboard again. “For Christmas one year, Santa brought a skateboard for me....Everything was great until the board slipped out from under me, raced across the floor, and knocked a hole in the front door.” Mom also hated the next fad that hit our home-slime. It was green, gooey, and packaged in a little plastic garbage can. Mom hates anything slimy-even Jello. So, for the sake of humor, I filled her Christmas stocking with slime. When Mom reached into her stocking, green goop oozed all over her hand. I howled with laughter. Mom howled with horror! I howled after I received a good spanking! After all these problems. I should have known better. Alas, I got involved in other fads. Mood rings, “invisible dogs, disco records, roller skates, and Rubik's cubes all came my way, with similar disastrous results. But no more. Beginning Jan. 1, I’m turning over a new leaf. New Year’s Resolution Number 647-1 hereby resolve to stop wasting my money and time trying to keep up with the latest fads. By the way, does anyone know where I can find some Pac Man deely-bobbers nd a copy of Kristy McNichol: Live in Concert ? KINSLEY OFFICE SUPPLY _________MERRY CHRISTMAS 44AFeatures Students who smoke cigarettes and chew tobacco discuss what led them to begin their habits Some high school students play a game of Russian roulette with cigarettes. Do these students really believe cigarettes may be harmful to them? Mike Mathes, a smoker, states, “I know they’ll kill me some day, but I like them.” “It’ll probably make my lungs black,” notes Jackie Humphries, another smoker. What do other students think about cigarette smoking? “It’s yucky. I don’t want my lungs to get all black and yucky,” remarks Anna Baker, who dates a cigarette smoker. Shelly Olsen, a non-smoker, comments, “It’s stupid. It cuts down on your wind and it could kill you. Is cigarette smoke a nuisance? “It’s never bothered me unless he blows the smoke in my face,” replies Baker. “My parents smoke, so I’m used to it.” Chris Nau, a smoker, states, “It used to bother me — before I started smoking.” Why did these high school students start smoking? “I thought it was the ‘in’ thing to do,” notes Mathes. “The kids I hung around did it. Then I started to like it, but I gagged at first.” Sid Sigwing, also a smoker, explains, “I started in the fifth grade because my parents got divorced. It helped relieve the tensions.” RAE E.

KANSAS Mr. Squeaky’s East Highway 50, Kinsley (316) 659-2261 Open 11 a.m. - 10 p.m. Why do these students continue to smoke? “It settles my nerves,” states Nau. “It helps me relax,” says Mathes. Kinsley High School, like some other schools, provides a smoking area for students wishing to smoke between classes. Why is this smoking area necessary? “Sometimes it gets pretty boring around here,” remarks Mathes. Dana K. Randel, KHS principal, points out, “If we didn't allow smoking, students would be smoking in the bathroom or going out to their car or leaving school.” “I am opposed, Randel continues, “to students, or anyone, smoking at school as it’s a harmful habit. Furthermore, older students who smoke set a bad impression for younger students. “It’s for these reasons that if I were asked to initiate a smoking area for students I would not.” Does being allowed to smoke between classes cause a problem with too many students being late to class? “Not as much as I thought it would, replies Mr. Randel. “Let me put it this way, more kids are tardy for reasons other than smoking.” How do these teenage smokers decide what brand of cigarettes to smoke? “I picked it up from my friends,” states Humphries. I used to smoke Merits, then someone gave me a Marlboro and I liked the taste,” remembers Sigwing. “Now I smoke Marlboro Lights.” Why might a student prefer smoking over chewing tobacco? Mathes notes, “Girls hate chewing more than they do cigarette smoking.” Why do other students prefer chewing over smoking cigarettes? “To me, smoking is worse for you,” says Gary Bagby, a former tobacco chewer. Darryl Schaller, a tobacco chewer, comments, “It tastes good.” How do tobacco chewers choose their brand? “I chewed Skoal because it didn’t hurt my gums. Mark Poer, a former tobacco chewer, goes on to explain that “Hawkins is a rough cut, Skoal is fine cut, and Copenhagen is an even finer cut.” What are some reasons why a tobacco chewer might stop chewing? “A friend pressured me to,” replies Bagby. Schaller comments, “I don’t chew much anymore because it got expensive, $1 a week, and my parents didn’t like it.” If chewing tobacco can cost $1 a week, how expensive is smoking cigarettes? “I spend $7 a week - a pack a day,” remarks Mathes. Nau describes smoking as real expensive — 90c a pack.” She adds, You should save your money and do something else with it.” If the high school students believe their smoking habit might kill them, why do they not quit? Nau points out, “I’m kind of quitting. Now I’m down to one cigarette a day. I just decided I didn’t need it that much. I don’t need it for my nerves after all.” Mathes tries to explain, “I can’t quit. I want to but I don’t want to. Do you know what I mean?” Click... Click... Bang!

Merry Christmas from John and Linda Kinban Incorporated Features45 Boots and jeans, are found in the halls of KHS “I remember wearing straight leg Levis; flannel shirts even when they weren’t in style.” This lyric is from Bar bara Mandrell’s son, “Country When Country Wasn’t Cool.” A year ago “country wasn’t cool” at Kinsley High School. Today, the western look is very “in” at KHS. There are many western shops in this area. David Smith, assistant KHS wrestling coach, shops at Long’s in Dodge City. He like Long’s Clothing because “it’s the only place I can get clothes to fit. I’ve always worn western styles shirts and slacks, and I wear boots to keep my ankles warm.” Mr. Smith is also well-known for wearing his cowboy hats with feathers to wrestling matches. At the time the shot heard ’round the world (the one that injured J. R. Ewing) rang out, country fashions became less practical and more outrageous. The Justin Western Company in El Paso, Texas, started a whole new line of fancy designs on boots, feather bands, glittery silk shirts, and fringed jackets with rhinestones. Recently they have laid off workers because fashion is going back to the basics. This was discussed in a “Hutchinson News article, Saturday, Nov. 27.1982. Western fashions have always been accepted in the Kinsley area. Karla Wagner, senior, states that western fashions are “comfortable. “Boots are not just for looks because you wear them when you work. says Wagner. Other KHS students like cowboy boots for their fashion value. Janet Gray, senior, thinks western boots are “classy.” “I like them because they make you look taller and you can kick people if they give you any trouble. Katnie Maley, senior, wears her boots with her dresses to debates for luck. “I like them because they are more practical than heels and you can wear your socks underneath,” explains Maley. James Kuhn, KHS debate coach, states, “Boots with a dress look stupid. The boots are too short and the skirts aren’t short enouth. I’m into mini-skirts. Boots with mini-skirts look fine on the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders because they’re a fine organization with great form.” Darla Ryan, senior, voices her dislike of western dress; “it makes Kinsley look like a hick town and we are trying to shed that Gunsmoke image.” Barbara Mandrell’s song, “Country When Country Wasn’t Cool, tells of Kinsley. The basic country dress has been accepted for a long time, but at KHS the style in boots and hats is getting more outrageous. Wayne Butler, senior, expresses his distaste for the whole country fad. “The country fashions are OK just so you don’t have to hear that country music! Shelly Olsen shops to find the cowboy hat with the perfect fit. Activity bus will arrive for USD 347 in spring USD 347 has purchased a 1983 Ford made diesel bus. The new bus is expected to arrive in the spring of 1983. Equipped with a Detroit deisel engine and a Wayne body, the new bus has features other USD 347 buses lack, such as AM FM radio with a pager, under carriage and interior luggage racks, five speed transmission, twelve-ply tires, and a heavier brake system. It will be used as an activity bus as well as a regular route bus. It will also be more economical than the other buses making about 12 miles to the gallon com pared to their six. Also, when a school purchases a new bus, the state reimburses the district at a rate of 121 per cent interest a year. Since this bus cost approximately $28,000, the school will be refunded $2,240 this year alone, and in eight years it will be fully reimbursed, states Robert Shanks. Superintendent of Schools. Residents participate in classes Area residents have been par ticipating in two continuing education classes available through Kinsley High School as a Dodge City Community College outreach. This is the fifth year Duane Adams, KHS industrial arts teacher, has taught the woodworking class. He explains, “It’s Woodworking I. II. Ill, and IV — all in one. If someone has had Woodworking I. they enroll in Woodworking II and etc. “It’s open to anybody, but generally it’s always adults. We cover the basic tools and basic techniques of wood working. The other outreach class this semester is a psychology class. Two psychologists from Larned State Hospital teach this class.

Glory to God 46A Features Price for being fashionable mounts higher A person has to pay the price to be in fashion. People are finding it’s harder to stay in fashion because of the rising costs of clothing. Only five years ago, a person had to pay $20 for a nice pair of jeans; ten years ago a person could find a pair for $10. Now days, to get a nice pair one has to pay $40. Gay Webb, assisant manager of the Brass Buckle in Dodge City, states her reason for rising prices: “It’s really not the labor or the material. The factories just put a high price on things because there is a demand for them.” Do the more expensive designer brands last longer than others? Webb’s store carries several designer brands such as Chic, Zena, and Calvin Klein. Webb says, The styles and brand names are what makes it more expensive.” “Even though clothes have gone up in prices, it seems as though the kids are still buying them, says Webb. Webb thinks the prices will keep rising in the near future because people will keep paying the prices to be in style. Webb states, “This year people are really going out and buying clothes for Christmas gifts. Clothes are something that anyone can use.” She also adds, “If they like it, they will buy it.” Men's clothing has risen in price as much as women’s clothing. Greg Minet, store manager of Calhoun's in Dodge City, says ’Clothing is being made out of artifical products such as petroleum and that’s what makes the cost so high.” The Dodge City Calhoun's store in the Village Square Mall carries clothes for the entire family. For the children there is infant wear. The store also handles the latest styles and fashions for teenagers and casual and formal wear for the adults. Labor is another thing that makes clothing so high in price. Almost 90 per-cent of the clothing sold in the United SEASONS GREETINGS City Cleaners Buford and Vera Brodbeek States is made in China, Mexico, or some other country because there the labor is cheaper.” Minet explains that by putting only one pocket on a shirt will save money. Minet says, “They will try and find short cuts like that to save money.” The reason that people are buying the more expensive clothing, according to Minet, is that they want name brands.” Minet predicts that the prices will Kinsley High School spirit has been listed on the critical list. The nature of the illness has been diagnosed as severe apathy. The disease has become apparent at pep assemblies, football, and volleyball games, wrestling matches, and other school functions. Dr. Alumni, graduate of Reminiscence University, recalls the day when school spirit “raised the roof at assemblies and when the students at KHS were proud to be the Coyotes!” However, during the last few years. Dr. Alumni and his associates have noted a steady decrease in school spirit due to lack of enthusiasm by the student body. The pulse of the patient in the past pounded with the chants of the Pep Club with the footsteps of the Marching 100, and with dignity and the mutual respect existing between faculty and students. Now the chants are but a mere whisper; the band, though few, loyally play plays. Dignity is nearly lost, and mutual respect has diminished. Organizations once swollen in ranks have lowered their standards to recruit members, but in doing so have lost student appeal. Dr. Alumni has noticed that fans, although loyal in attendance, view the events in silence. keep rising but they didn't rise as much this year as they did last year. Minet states, “This year won’t be like last year; people won’t give as much doting for Christmas gifts. People are looking at clothes that are easy to exchange and clothes that are on sale for Christmas. Minet states, “If I were selling electronic games this year, I would be making a killing.” Dr. Alumni states, The cure to this potentially fatal disease is an immediate transfusion of vitality and pride in each student and faculty member at KHS. The treatment, both necessary and prudent in its administration, will be painless. The only side effect will be the participants and spectators enjoying school events even more. The success of the school musical shows how effective this treatment is.

Mr. Kuhn wears a suit to the first game and if the team wins, he continues to wear that suit on every game day. However, if they lose, he wears something else. “Before every game, while warming up, the guys button only the bottom three buttons on their jackets,” states Mr. Kuhn. “Also, before the game we take a brief moment of silence to think about it. I always put the names in the scorebook in the same order,” adds Kuhn. These beliefs did not happen overnight. Mr. Kuhn says, “When I was in high school, I’d take a piece of tape and put it around the heel of my right shoe.” Graff also practices superstitious beliefs. “I always wear two pairs of plain white socks, states Graff. “Also the day of the game, I wear my lucky gold chain. I give it to someone to wear during the game, states Graff. Not only does Graff wear special socks and a chain, but she also eats a special breakfast. “I always eat pancakes or French toast with sausage or ham, says Graff. “I never eat a meal just before the game. “I like to spend time alone before a game to think things over and to prepare myself for the game.” Graff says she is not as superstitious now as she was in junior high. “I’ve outgrown some of it.” Miriam Graff, senior basketball player, follows a superstitious pattern of putting on white socks as she prepares for basketball practice.

Kansas Kinsley Bank “Member FDIC” ' 'Opinions Organizations running concessions seek answers Are concessions worth the worry? To its customers, the concession stand seems to be a very smooth running operation, but behind the scenes it’s a much different story. Here at KHS, four organizations alternate in having concessions. The sponsors, the workers, and the people in charge of getting the workers feel it’s not worth it. Duane Adams, Stuco sponsor, thinks concessions should be dropped. He says, “The same people do all the work.” Stuco is one of the organizations that has to help with concessions, along with GAA, Kavettes. and Pep Club. Adams suggests, “Every year the freshmen should take over it and then put the money away for prom their junior year.” Adams continues, “The way we are doing now, no one club benefits from whatever profits are gained.” Kayette sponsor Evalina Craig say, “One club should take over it. Like all of the other organizations, Kayettes never have enough people that will work. When asked what should be done if they don’t show up, Craig says smiling, “Does it have to be legal?” The sponsors are not the only ones that do not like the way concessions are set up. The students that have to work disagree with the present rotation basis. Being a member of some of the organizations, I get stuck with working and it’s the same people working every time. Most of the times the people signed up to work never show up. I feel that if they can’t help out, then they should not belong in that organization. Magazine sales are decreasing for the juniors, so when prom comes around there is no money. Therefore I agree with letting the freshmen take over the concessions. Since this is their first year, they are willing to work as the other organizations contain upperclassmen and most of them are burned out on working in the concession stand. The concessions do not produce enough money for all the work one has to do and then to have the profits divided up with three other organizations. This way the freshmen would be getting all of the funds and perhaps putting it in the bank to draw interest for their junior year activities. Cheryl Kersting, concession stand worker, explains her reason for having one club take over: “If you're in more than one organization you are working all of the time and half of the people don’t show up to work anyway.” In the future, we will find out if the sponsors, the workers, and the people in charge in getting the workers will have to worry about the concessions. Students believe cheating happens frequently at KHS: Editor s colu ,n ° n J by Peggy Marcy faculty voice concerns about cheating problem ------------------------ Hey Al, what did you get for an answer on number four?” “I put Kissinger, but I don’t know if that’s right. I got my answer from George. Similar conversations to the one above are heard in high schools all over the country, and Kinsley High School is no exception. While Dr. Tim Thies, in his lecture earlier this year, quoted a national average of cheating around 80 percent, most KHS students believe the percentage to be much higher than that here. One KHS senior girl feels at least 9 out of 10 — maybe 10 out or 10 — students cheat.” That opinion seems to be echoed by several other students and faculty members. When asked if she ever cheats, one student replied: “Yes. Doesn’t everybody? Dave Smith, one of the teachers concerned about cheating, states, “It seems to be worse this year than in the past.” It might help draw a better picture by comparing Kinsley with another high school. Less cheating goes on here,” comments a sophomore who transferred from Larned High School. In our Algebra I class there one person would get done with their test, and we would pass it around. The teacher was dumb.” Voice Box One of the latest trends is a style of speaking known as valley talk. Inspired by Frank Zappa's hit song Valley Girl,” the new speaking style is an exaggeration of the speech in California's San Fernan do Valley. To determine “valley talk’s” popularity in Kinsley, several students were asked: What is your favorite valley girl expression? Loni Carlson: Totally or Bogus.” Denise Glaze: Gag me with a spoon!” Ginny Blanton: “Jello head — a person with the I.Q. of cool whip.” Janet Gray: Totally awesome! Curtis Hutchinson: Barf out!” Jon Herrmann: What’s a valley girl expression?” Mark Frame: Gag me with a cattle truck!” Cindy Ailshie: Grody to the max!” Karla Wagner: Bag your face!” Speaking of teachers, what do those at KHS do about cheating? Jim Kuhn, one of seven teachers asked, notes, “I throw away their test if I catch them cheating and separate them from the rest of the class for the remaining part of the year.” Industrial arts instructor, George Bakumenko, points out, It doesn’t happen very often in my classes because the desks are arranged so I can see everything that happens from my desk. When it does happen, I give them a zero. I throw away their test,” states Mr. Smith. “Even a bad grade is better than a zero. They take a big risk when they cheat, and it really costs when they’re caught. I can’t understand why people think they need to do it.” All right, what is the solution to the cheating problem? If I knew that, I’d write a book and make a million dollars,” responds Mr. Smith. A possible answer might be having all assignments due at the end of class to prevent students from pooling answers. Mr. Smith has another idea. He remarks, “I believe people have to find within themselves a basic honesty that would make them look away even if the answers are right there in front of them. Whatever the answer is, it probably will be found without cheating. Opinions 51A Letters to the editor ...

Words do not come to the brain very well and the process from the brain - to pen -to paper is even worse. I guess that is the reason I am not a poet or an English teacher. During the first semester of this year alone, we owe so much to all of you--the faculty, students and ex-students of Kinsley High School. All of you have shared with us the joys and sorrows that life has brought. You have taken the time to ask how Bud was doing? What Talia was up to? If I had felt the baby kick? Some even added, “Geez, you’re getting fat”--when I had an excuse to be fat! And now you come in and always have something cheerful to talk about. Or you are just ornery enough (gymnasts) to keep my mind busy! All of this we are really thankful for. You are helping life get back to normal without erasing precious memories. Bud and I have so much to be thankful for. We have experienced the joy of having and getting to know a little about our baby. We have a beautiful Talia. We Br Kinsley High School Kinsley.

Before the summer of 1981, Kirkbride “bought many records by recording artists such as ACDC, Black Sabbath, and Molly Hatchet,” which are “basically acid rock,” notes Kirkbride. That summer Kirkbride decided to change” her life and “become a Christian.” As she listened to her records, “I noticed the stress and tension the rock music puts out. By using different sound levels of music, it seemed to push out a negative message,” recalls Kirkbride. As I looked at my records and then at myself, I realized that these records were not beneficial to my life style. I decided if my life was going to change, my music would have to also,” notes Kirkbride. Giving her records away was not her best solution. “If I gave my records to someone else, I would just be passing on the tension and negative values to other kids,” notes Kirkbride. By going to her youth group and by listening to different speakers. Kirkbride decided that the best solution to her “negative records” was either break or Most Merchandise reduced at least 50 ® o burn them. Youth leader for Teens for Christ Craig Nuckolls states, We do not burn or break records as an organized group. It is the choice of the individual when they come to the conclusion that these records are not beneficial to or are damaging their life.” “I destroyed about $300-$400 worth of records at home. People thought I was crazy, but I feel they can’t say what’s right or wrong for me and I can’t say what’s right or wrong for them, replies Kirkbride. Although most of her records are broken, Kirkbride finds contemporary Christian music to fill its position. These include the Imperials, Amy Grant, and Keith Green,” says Kirkbride.

Thirty schools will participate, each one allowed to have one team and two alternates. The contest will cover the following: English, math, science, social science, foreign language, music and art. Fourteen KHS students have expressed the wish to participate in this contest; however, only six will be chosen. With the input of questions from the teachers there will be a “run off” in front of the student body this week. The official for the contest will be someone with no ties to Kinsley High School. After the six are chosen, they will spend their remaining time studying for the competition. The eight highest teams at the St. Mary’s bowl will have a showdown on radio or on a television show that evening. Three reasons exist for surveys; Seven-day period still standing Principal Dana Randel has been collecting information from schools across the Kansas area on the seven-period day. Randel has surveyed 130 schools, and of those 100 have replied. “That is an above average of schools that usually reply to these kinds of surveys,” comments Randel. In the surveys he has asked if the schools have seven periods, how long their days are, why or why not they have the seven periods, and why such a schedule is or is not successful. Teachers, students, and parents of USD 347 will also show their opinions through surveys. “The purpose of these surveys is to see if there are any significant reasons to have or not to have a seven period day,” states Randel. There are three major reasons why I am looking at a seven-period day, explains Randel. First, the students would have a better opportunity to take electives; second, is to ease the scheduling conflicts; and third, is to offer more elective classes. Jhull a2u£ T.

Regional will begin this Friday and finish seven rounds later Saturday afternoon. A first or second place finish at Satanta would qualify Kinsley for the state debate Feb. 4-5. Although the Kinsley High School debate program has only been established for five years, it would be Kinsley’s second appearance in the state debate tournament. Kathie Maley and Shane Shanks made the first trip to state as alternates their freshman year 1979-80. Maley remembers, “Since we were alternates, we didn't have to debate. It was a lot of fun because we didn’t have any pressure on us.’’ The three years since former debate coach David Cooper left have seen two different coaches with minimum debate knowledge, a decline then a gain of debaters, and an average amount of success. Two years ago the debate team had six members and placed at two tournaments. Last year the team managed to place at four tournaments with four members. The number of debaters has risen this year to 11 and the number of placings has risen to eight. Debate coach Jim Kuhn comments, It has been a great year. I expected it to be a good year, but it turned out better than I had anticipated.’’ Maley explains some of the reasons for the success of the debate program; we had good people to learn from. Also, the kids that are interested really work at it. There aren’t many students interested, but the ones who are care about what happens. Novice year Debaters with the program for one year or more become classified as experienced and will be matched against other experienced debaters. First-year against other novice debaters. Experienced cannot debate in the novice division, but beginners can debate in the open division against experienced debaters. The first thing you think is that you’ll never make it through, remarks Maley about the first year. They throw out all these rules and debate terms. You’re going, ‘I don’t understand.’ She continues, You’re like a kid with a new toy. At first you don’t know how to use it, but once you get it figured out. it works great. Schedule conflicts have kept the number of freshmen in the class to only three in three years. It’s best to start as a freshman,” notes Shelby Shanks, a novice debater. That way you’ll get four years of experience. Maley agrees with starting early because if you don’t like it, you can get out. Also, you’ll see the changes. We used to lose all the time, but now we win.” Preparation A debater splits his time preparing for a debate between copying quotations from magazines onto 4 x 6 cards and writing a plan. An affirmative team’s plan supports the resolution which serves as the guideline for debating. This year’s resolution states that the United States should significantly curtail its arms sales to other countries. The negative team opposes the resolution and attacks the plan by using their research cards. Shanks finds writing a plan to be hard because you have to make sure the negative team can find nothing wrong with it. While debate involves a lot of work, the exact amount of work depends upon the individual. The work is exaggerated, comments Fox’s Department Store 200 E. 6th 659 3161 Shanks. It’s just like any other class. Debate is a lot of fun. People think it’s going to kill them, but the rewards are worth it, states Maley. Debate’s probably more play than work, but we wouldn’t tell anyone that. Maley believes it takes dedication to make a good debater. She says. It’s just like in athletics. How much you put into it is how much you’re going to get back. Shanks feels the hardest part of debate is to stand up in front of the judge, smiling while the other team tears your plan apart piece-by-piece.’’ For Maley the hardest part is getting up at five in the morning. I’m serious, she laughs. That’s the hardest part for me.” Students will enter piano contest Five KHS students will participate in a state piano contest at Dodge City Community College Feb.12. These students include: seniors Loretta Katz. Shane Shanks; sophomore Amy Livengood; freshmen Shelby Shanks and Paula Schaller. Each participating student is required by the state to be involved or to contribute actively to the school music programs or activities, notes vocal in structor Duane Williams.

No, it’s not the KHS Breezes”; it’s generic products. The economy prompts many customers to look for alternatives to high food prices. Mrs. Norma Murphy, Kinsley High School home ecomonics instructor, fights high food costs with generic products. “The lower cost makes generic attractive when I buy for my classes and for home use,’’ explains Mrs. Murphy, because I don’t pay for added advertising costs.” Convenience rates as another reason for buying generics. I don’t have to clip coupons or watch for sales to save. states Mrs. Murphy. The best thing about the no-frills products is no extra cost for annoying advertising gimmicks, Mrs. Murphy concludes. Lower grade products sell under different labels in different ways. Generic producers just use simple packaging as another way of marketing an item. It’s a ploy, says Victor Hirsh of the Food Marketing Institute, but not in the sense that it’s deceptive. Generics are a competitive tool. Dennis Friesen. owner of Denny’s Jack and Jill, Kinsley, carries generic products. “We advertise that we have generics to get customer interest. Customer interest prompted Mr. Friesen to introduce 20 no-name items and interest sparked the stocking of 167 items. Mr. Friesen predicts that if in terest increases, then our inventory will increase accordingly. Generics are just an added convenience for our shoppers but they very seldom buy all generics, adds Mr. Friesen. Retailers stock generics at the front of the store because the customer feels good about saving money on a generic product. Then the customer spends that savings later in the store. The customer needs generics, the retailer stocks generics, but why would a wholesaler handle an item sold at cost? Pressure exerted by the consumer and retailer sways wholesalers to buy generics. Big-name companies produce generics because wholesalers threaten to take their business elsewhere. Producers can profit from making generics. A two-to-ten per cent savings can be made from not having to advertise. Black and white labeling saves a few pennies per 1,000 labels printed, but the biggest savings come in the ingredients. The generic producer uses Grade C or U.S. Standard ingredients in food products. Products, usually discarded, not all the same size, shape, and color fall under this category. The generic food products prove equal in nutritional value, according to the Department of Agriculture, but the chance for uniform quality becomes slim. Miss Marilyn Bauer, KHS librarian, feels generic products are not worth the chance of receiving an unsatisfactory product. I stick with the brands I know. Generics help many individuals stay within a budget. The economy may prompt the junior class to look for alternatives when put ting on this year’s prom. Are generics the answer? o 30 1 Black is not a true color but can be used for showing emotion, What color should I use? This question is often asked by John Maack, art teacher at KHS. Mr. Maack has a Master’s degree in print-making. He attended Emporia State University after his high school years. He is in his twenty-first year of teaching. He has taught at Gardner, Emporia, Ashland, Pratt Community College, and is in his sixth year here. Mr. Maack attended high school at Wichita West. He says. I didn’t take as many art classes as I should have. I took more business.” Mr. Maack finds very little difference in teaching art to high schoolers and teaching it to college students. “When I taught college art classes, I had more lecture classes. says Mr. Maack. When asked about choosing colors for his pictures, Mr. Maack says, “It depends on what the subject matter is. It also depends on what I have started with. When Mr. Maack is angry and painting he uses colors like oranges and reds — very harsh and savage colors. When he is happy, he colors with whites, yellows, and pastels. I always mix colors. It changes the value. When I add another color to it, it will darken or lighten it. It will change ’’ explains Mr. Maack. the wave length. accent, and appeal “I really don’t think about the color. If I don’t like it, I will just take it off and rework it, says Mr. Maack. Mr. Maack uses the blacks and whites for accents. He says, Black is not a color. It is neutral. No light is reflecting from it and white is pure as the driven snow.” Mr. Maack explains, “If you emotionally paint a picture, it will turn out more appealing. The moods can decide your colors. Mrs. Sally Maack, art teacher at the Offerle Middle School, uses very little greens and a lot of earth colors when she paints. “It makes a difference where you are going to use the pictures when deciding the colors, explains Mrs. Maack. Mrs. Maack explains the color black; black is the abstinence of all colors- the bottomless depth. Mrs. Maack says, “I like to work with pencils and colored chalk. I would rather get my fingers in it more than a brush. Mr. and Mrs. Maack have their different tastes in painting. Mrs. Maack uses pastels more so than Mr. Maack. “I am a better painter and have more experience in painting than my wife has, but she can draw portraits and I can’t, says Mr. Maack. With a smile on his face, he explains, National Farmers Union Insurance E-Z Stop John Ploger, Agent Hwy 56 Niles 55A Centerfolds. Blackout disrupts important day on the farm Blackouts can be very depressing ana and Gertrude fixes dinner. Grandpa disastrous as in the case of the Hatfields. The Hatfield household is in an uproar. Daisy’s boyfriend. Alexander Hughs, is coming from New York to meet the family for the first time. So much has to be done before he arrives. Ten cows have to be milked, the sows and new baby pigs have to be cared for, and supper must be prepared. “Billy,” Jake yells, get your coveralls on and go take care of those pigs, and make it snappy! Dad, if the electricity goes out, my baby pigs will freeze, wails Billy. “Can I bring them in by the fire if it does? I reckon so, decides Jake. Bob, you come with me and help get those cows milked.” Jake and Bob head out to do chores. Daisy busies herself washing her hair. We complement each other’s work rather than working the same.” Although it is not a true color, John Maack, art instructor, uses black to set the mood of a painting.

Doggone it,” yells Grandpa Herkermer; I just got eaten by the blue one and I’m only 100 points from my high score! Mom, I just know Grandpa will embarrass me! When will he ever grow up? sighs Daisy. “Don’t you worry, comforts Gertrude; when Alexander tastes my fried chicken and lemon meringue pie, he’ll forget all about Grandpa. Meanwhile back at the barn, all is under control. Bob, Daisy is really hung up on this guy. She told me I had to wear a suit, says Jake. Yeah, she’s been running around worrying about every little thing all day, adds Bob. Only one thing could go wrong,” states Jake. Before Jake could finish, silence came over the barn. The milkers had stopped; the lights had gone out. The blackout had struck! Bob, commanded Jake, go turn on the generator. I don’t want to milk all these cows by hand. Dad, don’t you remember? The generator quit on us during the last blackout. Well drat! exclaimed Jake. Take off the machines and start milking by hand. At the same instant back at the house, the T.V. went off, the blow-dryer quit, and the electric range went cold. A scream came from the living room where Grandpa had been actively involved in a fast-paced game of Pac-man. Only 20 points to go and the electricity is off, wailed Grandpa. My hair! What am I going to do with unmanageable hair, whines Daisy. Gertrude, who remains relatively calm, adds, Well, don’t worry! With the lights out, he won’t even see what you look like. Grandpa tries to make his way from the living room to the kitchen. In the process, he trips over all the cords on the video games. Why did it have to blackout now?” grumbles Grandpa. Suddenly, a loud screech fills the house. The sound caused by the cat who Smc 1921 Kinsley OodgeOty _________________Meade_______________ is in Grandpa's way sends him sprawling into the dining room table, scattering dishes everywhere. Grandpa, are you all right? asks Ger trude. Yes, I’m fine! I sure wish I could see where I’m going! mumbles Grandpa. Back at the barn, Jake and Bob are having problems. Doggone it. Bob! yells Jake. Would you watch where you’re going? Well, I’m really sorry, shouts Bob. “I can’t see what I’m doing! I didn’t know you were going towards Mary Bell at the same time I was! “You start at Flora and go north and I’ll start at Betsy and go south, instructs Jake. Bill is out feeding his sow when the lights go out. With no electricity I can’t keep the piglets warm with the heat lamp, sighs Billy. “I guess I’ll have to take them in by the fire. Gathering up the ten pigs in a box. Billy starts to the house. Mom, don’t you think your chicken will taste greasy after soaking up all the oil? questions Daisy. Oh, don’t you fret,” says Gertrude, I always use Crisco. We don’t have anything to worry about, except the meringue.” Are we going to have a lemon meringue pie? asks Grandpa. I love a good piece of pie while playing Pac-man!” Billy has just come through the door, carrying his ten little pigs. Billy, get those pigs out of this house, cries Daisy. Alexander doesn’t like pigs, especially in the house! But, Daisy,” pleads Billy, “my pigs will freeze with no heat lamp to keep them warm. Daisy breaks down, realizing what Alexander is going to see when he arrives. Dad, how are we going to get these cows milked? They won’t stand to be milked by hand! shouts Bob. Don’t you know you’re not supposed to yell around these new heifers, yells Jake. You’ll get them all riled up! Excited by all the shouting, Betsy kicks over her bucket, spilling milk all over the floor. , .

Questionnaires asking students to identify favorite performers and musical styles were completed by 104 students the middle of January. Benatar, chosen as the top performer by 48 per cent of the students, easily tops runner-up Olivia Newton John with 22 per cent. Next in rank are Barbara Man-drell and Fleetwood Mac’s Stevie Nicks, receiving nine and seven per cent of the votes. In the male performer category, the success of his “American Fool” LP pushes John Cougar to the top. Rick Springfield finishes behind Cougar’s 33 per cent with 25 per cent, followed by Kenny Rogers with eight per cent. Last year’s favorite Billy Joel receives only seven per cent of those votes tallied this vear. Schoolwide, the survey showed the Australia's Air Supply, with 18 per cent, is the top musical group at KHS. The female vote helps lift Air Supply over Journey, the 1982 favorite. This year Journey falls behind with 16 percent of the vote. Alabama, which performed at the 1982 Kansas State Fair in Hutchin son, is the choice of 13 percent of the respondents with AC DC just one per centage point less. The poll also identifies the purchasing preferences of the students. Fifty-twn Lewis Press Inc. Proud printers of the “KHS Breezes” East Highway 50, Kinsley (316) 659-2261 Open 11 a.m. - 10 p.m. percent favor a pop rock sound, as compared to 22 percent preferring hard rock and 10 percent choosing country music. When making a music purchase, only six per cent of those responding buy 8-track tapes. Cassettes are preferred over record albums nearly four to one. KHS students are skeptical of mailorder record clubs, the survey shows. Although 28 per cent have been members of these clubs, 38 per cent of the respondents feel these companies are rip-offs.” In fact, of those members or former-members, only six individuals consider the clubs a good deal.” Each student completing a questionaire predicted the group or performer who will most likely become a major success in 1983. Fueled by the hit singles Who Can It Be Now? and “Down Under. 12 per cent of the students vote Men at Work most likely to succeed. A regional band. Bluebird, is listed by seven per cent and Loverboy follows with five per cent. Toni Basil and the rockabilly group. Stray Cats, are also a popular response. A breakdown of the results show that groups within the school have certain voting patterns. Freshnen Ninth-grade girls split evenly between Pat Benatar and Olivia Newton John, 27 per cent each. Over half prefer John Cougar and a pop rock sound. They also favor Men at Work; 64 per cent elect them as stars of the future along with Kim Wilde who sings Kids in America.” Freshman males choose both Alabama and Journey over Air Supply and Olivia Newton John over Pat Benatar two to one. They also predict that the Stray Cats and Men at Work will hit it big in 1983. Sophomores Females favor easy listening as their preference. Forty-three per cent list Air Supply, with the Go-Go’s emerging as the second most popular group. They also select Rick Springfield as the favorite male performer followed closely by Lionel Richie. Sophomore males choose Loverboy and Journey as favorite groups, each receiving 22 per cent of the votes. Almost 70 per cent indicate that pop rock is their favorite musical style. Juniors Junior females like pop rock over country 61 per cent to 38 per cent. Pat Benatar carries the vote of 85 per cent of this group while Rick Springfield is the top male performer with 38 per cent. Loverboy and Judas Priest are the stars of the future according to the junior males. This group prefers hard rock, choosing AC DC as their favorite group. JOHN COUGAR American Fool III Seniors Twelfth-grade females have a strong taste for pop music with four-fifths of those surveyed voting this way. Alabama is voted the best group with Journey the runner-up. Sixty-two per cent of the senior males choose hard rock as their favorite type of music. AC DC and Pat Benatar are their elected favorites. Stevie Nicks receives 19 per cent of the votes to place second in the female performer category. Last year the most popular responses to the survey were solo performers Pat Benatar and Billy Joel, with 48 and 42 per cent respectively. Journey was voted the favorite group and the Go-Go’s were the top prediction for stardom. The results of the 1983 survey show how musical preferences change within a year’s time.

After the boys’ varsity game with Macksville 45, Kinsley 77, the boys had a record of 3-5. The Coyote boys were eliminated from the St. John Tournament early after losing their first two games. That drops their record to 3-7 with eight games left in the season. “If we can get all our injury problems squared away, we can have a successful second half of the season,” comments head coach Jim Kuhn. “The Macksville game was our best on both ends of the court.” The junior varsity boys’ last game action was against Claflin which they lost. Their record stands at 3-2. Coach Don Stuart notes, “We’re playing the sophomores quite a bit. Also, I’ve moved (Mark) Poer and (Rowdie) Meeks up to play JV. Kinsley freshman boys were defeated by Larned. 56-58. That dropped their record to 2-1. “They are improving considerably,” states Coach Stuart. “Fundamentally they are still pretty sloppy, but they keep improving. After eight games, the varsity girls have a 4-4 record. They lost to Macksville, 37-45, in the last game before the tournament break. The girls are participating in the Great Bend Tournament which started last night. Shelly Olsen, varsity player, remarks, “The season has been pretty good — except the Macksville game. Our offense and defense fell apart. In the JV girls’ game, Kinsley lost to Macksville. 25-40. They take into the tournament break a 1-3 record. “The girls are young,” says Coach John Davis. “When we moved Beth (Gleason) and Cinty (Ailshie) up, we lost a lot of experience.” Against Larned, the freshman girls were defeated, 17-25, which makes their record 1-2. The Halstead Tournament provided Coyote wrestlers their last chance for tournament experience before sub-state Feb. 18-19 at Douglass. At Halstead Shane Miller, 98 pounds, and Mark Frame, 132 pounds, took first place. Pete Liebl, 138 lbs, placed second. The entire team received a fourth place trophy. I was extremely pleased with our performance at Halstead,” notes head wrestling coach Bob Koontz. We’re making good progress.” Regional wrestling competition will be held Feb. 11-12. Blackout disrupts important day (continued from page 55 A) by Lezlie Schinstock Jake continues yelling and walks toward Bob. He slips on the milk and falls. Bob tries to find him, but gets tangled in the milking equipment. “Bob, we are going to the house until the electricity comes back on,” informs Jake. Jake and Bob trudge to the house covered with milk. They enter to find the house in total choas. Billy,” screams Daisy, catch that pig and take all of them outside!” I’m trying. Daisy, but I can’t keep up with all ten of them!” yells Billy. I wonder if I could put some batteries in her some way, sighs Grandpa. Everyone is screaming except for Gertrude who is quietly beating her meringue by hand. Suddenly the dreaded moment arrives. The door bell rings...all movement ceases. Alexander has arrived. Daisy begins to cry, “Oh. what am I going to do!?” Gertrude, who has remained calm, reassures Daisy, “Don’t worry, dear; when he tastes my fried chicken, he’ll forget everything else.” RAE E.

So far this year several students have been put on crutches after being injured while playing in sports. Junior Sheila Ackerman was put on crutches after a basketball game at St. John. “I went up for a rebound and a St. John girl came down on my foot,” explains Ackerman. “I spent four weeks on crutches and I’m now in a walking cast.” Dan Anderson, junior, was also put on crutches after pulling a ligament in his ankle. ‘‘I went up to block a shot, came down, and turned my ankle,” informs Anderson. “The doctor said to stay on the crutches for two weeks, but I was only on them for four days.” While Anderson is already playing basketball again, Ackerman has to wait up to two more weeks. “I’ll go right back out for basketball the day I get my cast off,” comments Ackerman. Is there a high risk of getting hurt while out for sports? Ackerman and Anderson both believe that a high risk exists while doing any activity. “You could slip and fall in the bath tub or trip and hurt yourself while you are walking, explains Ackerman. “Sure, sports can be dangerous, but so can everything else you do.” The games are fun enough that running the risk of getting hurt doesn’t bother me,” expresses Anderson. Basketball is not the only sport where athletes get hurt. David Hutchison and Jeff Gleason both have pulled ligaments in their knees. While Hutchison hurt his playing football earlier this school year, Gleason hurt his during wrestling practice this season. Freshman Amy Brokar chose to get a reason for getting crutches while roller skating. “I cracked my knee cap when I was pushed down while roller skating,” com- PALACE ■TH-.E AXRB � '•� � !'

All who are on the crutches seem to agree that going up and down the stairs is a great disadvantage. “The crutches rub you arms raw and those stairs gave me a real challenge.” explains Ackerman. “The worst parts of it were not playing basketball and Cheryl (Kersting) always yelling at me.” But like most aspects of life, the pluses outdo the minuses. Anderson likes the idea of getting to miss two days of school and all agreed not having to carry books was pleasant. “You can be tardy, get more attention, and don’t have to work as much,” states Ackerman. Junior basketball player Cheryl Kersting looks at the matter more Dan Anderson, junior, and Jim Kuhn, basketball coach, prepare the whirlpool to soak Dan's ankle which he injured playing basketball.

She is dealing with a case of an ingrown toenail. “It is my right big toe,” explains Kersting. “I don’t have a cast on it yet. but it hurts.” Kersting is careful, however. “I’m going to the doctor and it’ll be up to him if I nead a cast on my toe. I’m doing everyting possible like soaking it to prevent that from happening. If it does. I’ll be sitting out the rest of the basketball season.” Fans form a school’s image It’s not whether you win or lose, but how you play the game. KHS may not have the best record in the CPL league; however, the players are good spor-men. Sportsmanship is the most important aspect of any sport. KHS ball players have this needed quality; however, the fans still show room for improvement. KHS has a bad reputation because of the behavior of fans, not that of the athletes. KHS fans should realize that their behavior determines the reputation of the high school. The students at KHS have not com mitted any wrong against visiting schools or officials. Former KHS students have been guilty of this crime. However, lately no one has done anything wrong. We hope people have realized how this hurts our school. Spectators should be commended on their recent behavior as should the players. KHS could form a new image with the cooperation of the fans and the athletes. KHS is a school which everyone should be proud to be a member of. When spectators and players realize this fact and exhibit good sportsmanship, a new image will arise. -Lezlie Schinstock Sports editor Bev’s Bow 1 Kinsley, Ks.

Please give us students a break,teachers. One of the worst things about going to school is coming home w ith an armful of books. Having to spend w hat seems to be endless hours writing and reading for tomorrow’s classes is not a pleasant task to look forward to. I suallv after lecturing all hour, some teachers find the end of the hour (the very end! a suitable place for assigning work to be done by class the next day. This work is commonly known as homework. With six classes a day, students frequently take home homework for four classes. A written policy for allowing the last 10 to 15 minutes of class time for homework does not seem to exist. But perhaps such a policy should exist. To ask that the last few minutes of class be set aside for the students to do homework does not seem unreasonable, especially since KHS does not have study halls. W ith homework to do for four classes a night, a student can develop a non-caring attitude. He does not want to spend night after night doing endless hours of usually boring and somew hat complicated homework. Problems can arise and usually do while one does homework. Not knowing what to do next sneaks up sooner or later. Then where does one turn? The teacher is not near by and most of the classes have changed so much that parents can not be as much help as they could be a couple of years ago. To a lot of parents, algebra looks like a foreign language. Granted, even if there were a time given at the end of each hour to do homework, it would not solve all the problems involved, but it could help a student master the material more easily. No, it is not a written policy, but individually teachers can make it one of their own. Giving the students the opportunity to have what may be called a privilege can be on a trial basis. If the students take the time given to them and abuse it, then by all rights the time should be taken away. But without being given the chance, how can the students prove that they need the time and they will use it to their benefit? Many changes in this world have come about by what many call “trial and error.” By giving the last few minutes in classes for students to do their homework, what harm can be done? If it does not work out, what is lost? At least by trying such a proposal, the questions would be answered and so might the homework problem. ---------------—--------------------------Editor’s column — Stealing of chemistry scales signifies a problem which threatens easy access to school equipment It happens. The theft of a scale from the Kinsley High School Science Department alerts KHS students to the problem of stealing. According to Mrs. Lona Korf, science instructor, the theft occurred Monday, Feb. 14. after the janitors had cleaned the chemistry room. The culprit gained access to room 203 by knocking out the small plexiglas window in the door. Markings on the doorknob indicates that the intruder then reached through the window and used wrenches to open the lock. “The plexiglas was too hard to break, so they just knocked it out, says Mrs. Korf. By reaching through the window, they couldn’t reach the doorknob without some tools.” The stolen scale is an Ohaus triple-beam balance which weighs up to 610 grams. However, the complete set of weights, allowing the scales to measure to 6,610 grams, was not taken. Mrs. Korf lists the value of the apparatus at about $80, but the weights are about $15 of that. Why would someone steal a set of scales? Mrs. Korf guesses the robbery has to do with the sale of drugs. She states, It will likely be used to weigh drugs -larger packages for commercial use. The identity of the culprit remains unknown, but Mrs. Korf believes the in truder has knowledge of the KHS Science Department. “To know about the balance, they’d probably have to take a class in chemistry. Mr. Maack sometimes uses it in art, she explains, but I doubt they'd connect it with the chemistry room. The theft may have some effect on the future use of school instruments. It was kept in the vault all summer and the first part of the year. It’s a lot of trouble to haul it back and forth every time a class Voice National controversy has surrounded the passing of a rule requiring federally-funded family planning clinics to notify the parents of minors who receive birth control devices from these agen cies. Opponents of this requirement have termed it the squeal rule. What is your opinion of the squeal rule and why? Traci Herrmann: “Doctors shouldn’t have to tell. Letting the parents know won’t stop girls from getting pregnant. - Donna Littrell: It’s a good rule because there is danger in some kinds of birth control. Amy Brokar: Just because your needs to use it--but I suppose we may have to, notes Mrs. Korf. It’s sad! Thefts of this kind threaten to limit access to the school building or to restrict highly the use of school equip ment. While students may not be able to prevent stealing, they can provide in formation which may lead to the apprehension of the guilty party and thus protect the unrestricted use of KHS materials. - by Shane Shanks Box— parents are notified doesn’t mean you will change your behavior. Michelle I)omme: It’s OK. They shouldn’t be needing the birth con trol in the first place. Kent Schaller: It’s good for the parents to know but it’s hard on the kids. A lot of people couldn’t tell their parents. Becky Huntley: If someone has to get permission, they may not get protection. Then there is a bigger chance of more girls getting pregnant. Mark Frame: If the clinics are providing a service for kids, then they shouldn't be doing this for the parents.

The misty-sounding production and vocal reverberation create a charismatic style. The problem with Down by the Sea is its length. Its nearly seven-minute time span will have audiences continually glancing at their watches. Side two fails to reach the same hit quality of the first side of Business as Usual. Instead, it offers an experimen tation in different styles.

In addition to public favor, their debut LP Business as Usual receives acclaim from music reviewers. Shane Nichols, critic for Rolling Stone magazine, writes. It greets the public without one dud, and those who take it home will find the album delivers all it promised.

All of the pieces on the record feature a toned-down accompaniment, giving listeners a specific melody on which to focus. This accompaniment also provides the group with a distinct sound. Who Can It Be Now? , with its squealing saxophone line, opens side one of the LP. This track is the album’s best because of the relationship between the vocals and the lyrics. Hay’s flighty vibrato makes a fine match for verses about a man hiding from a tax collector. The next song, I Can See It in Your Eyes, can easily go unnoticed.

A flute, a set of maracas. and other percussive in struments give this number a primitive sound. The drawback to Down Under is its use of Australian slang in the lyrics. Terms like combie and vegamite make understanding difficult for American audiences. Despite fine instrumentation, Underground and the frantic Helpless Automaton” contain awkward verse-to-chorus transitions which limit the effectiveness of these songs.

Currently Jane Fonda and many celebrities make exercise records. Mrs. Bobbie Lewis, KHS physical education instructor, and her class work out to exercise records. At the beginning of the school year, we used Richard Simmons. Now we’ve moved on to Jane Fonda, explains Mrs. Lewis. Becky Huntley, senior, began the program second semester. “Aerobics are a quick and fun way to get the exercise I usually wouldn’t receive, states Hunt ley. A group of Southside teachers formed an aerobic exercise group meeting after school, says Mrs. Lewis. My girls in fitness class will teach them a program. Kay Montgomery, senior, started the fitness program at the beginning of the school year. Richard’s program was hard at first but now I like Jane’s, continues Montgomery; it develops more flexibility. We’ll show the ladies Richard Simmons until they become more flexible; then Jane can get them in shape from there. Mrs. Lewis and her class will instruct any class in aerobic routines.

Mr. Shanks says, “We wanted something unique that students wouldn’t find in the next school down the road.

The bar graph above shows the surprising facts about the payments. It is divided into three sections: the parents, the students, or the parents-students splitting the cost half-and half.

The juniors shows that the parents pay for more of their items than any other class. Sophomores have to pay for more of their own school supplies than any other class and rank higher in paying for their own tapes, cassettes, and records. Freshmen get stuck with buying more of their own cassettes, tapes, records, and paying for their admission to the movies more than the upperclassmen. Craft. A disadvantage that Craft finds when working under an employer is “I can’t get off work when I like, as for basketball games for example. Although working at Mr. Squeaky’s is a “good job, Craft finds it difficult to find time to do homework. I usually study at night after I get off work, notes Craft. As an extra. Craft finds jobs as a babysitter. I have been babysitting since I was in the fifth grade. I really enjoy it.” In working for yourself, which babysitting allows. Craft feels it gives me more freedom. Night time babysit ting gives me the chance to do homework after the kids go to sleep. Babysitting is not always easy,” notes Craft. It is a large responsibility to take care of and protect the children from harm. I feel like the parents and kids are depending on me. which lays a lot on one’s shoulders. Susan DcForest. a parent in the community. looks for certain high standards in a babysitter. Craft meets these qualities. I try to find someone who cares a lot about and really enjoys being around children. The most important quality is they must be responsible,” expresses Mrs. DeForest. I like to go to wherever I am going and know I don’t have to worry about the care of my children. Having an extra job is a good way to make additional money, says Craft. I save most all of my money I earn from both jobs, recalls Craft. “Weekends are usually the only time I spend money. It is spent on shows or other teenage entertainment. One other thing I spend my money on is buying half of my clothing: mv parents contribute the other half of the clothing costs, notes Craft. Working is a huge responsibility. It teaches one to work and get along with the public, which can be difficult at times and to budget one’s money.

At Ward’s Body Shop, Kinsley. Eric Miller, senior, helps his boss Kenny Schaller, and his co-worker. Gary Avery, remove dents from cars. “We use body putty. It’s a filler for dents,’’ remarks Miller. “You put it in the dents or cracks and sand it down. It’s a long process.’’ Along with dent removing. Miller helps with other body work which in eludes “straightening fenders, putting on chrome, putting in windshields, doing pin striping; you name it. we do it. Miller adds, “Pin striping is putting stripes on the side of the car. It comes in a roll like tape does, and you just unroll it and put it on. Or you can paint it on. You mark if off with masking tape before starting to paint.” Not all of Miller’s work includes com mon maintenance. One of the uncommon jobs he helps with is cutting a car in half and putting it together again with a different rear. He explains a port ion of t he procedure: “First, you remove all of the interior. Then you cut it in half approximately right behind the front seat. Then you put it together again with a different rear. It’s called dipping. He also deals with the public on his job. “People come in and ask: ‘Can you fix my car? My door doesn’t shut.’ I have to okay it with Kenny before I do anything. Miller continues. If someone comes in for an estimate. I have to take them dow n to Kenny’s office, and he does it. Miller began working when he was 11 or 12 years old mowing lawns and has worked continuously since then. Of all his jobs he considers the one he has now at Ward’s Body Shop his best because that’s what I like to do. “I started my freshman year. notes Miller. Kenny, my boss, taught me a lot of what I do now. There are a lot of little Several students work during the summer, but not as many students work during the school year. Miller’s schedule requires him to work after school and Saturdays. Miller feels very strongly about working. I think it’s good. I feel it’s bet ter than going out for sports because you learn something you can use later. “If that's really what you want to do and that's what you like, then that’s okay,” remarks Miller. Miller emphasizes, I don’t knock sports, but I feel there are other things than going to basketball or football or whatever it is every day after school. I just don’t think it's best for everyone. While Miller believes working is best for him. he acknowledges that it’s not for everyone. “If that’s really what you want to do and that’s what you like, then that’s okay. remarks Miller. On weekends Miller sometimes goes to movies or dances. He believes he would do “about the same number of weekend activities if he did not have his job. However, one major exception exists. I wouldn’t have a vehicle. comments Miller. “The one I have now was totaled out. and I rebuilt it with Kenny's help. Miller hopes to find a job in a body shop to help him manage college expen ses.

While attending Syracuse High School and working part-time in his father’s Jack and Jill store, Dennis Friesen would not have guessed that he would be running his own store someday. Mr. Friesen remembers that his job was a “good job” but he admits that having his father managing the store complicated matters somewhat. He says, My dad was determined not to play favorites. I thought I always got the dirty jobs-working as carry-out and stock bey.” Understandably, the father-son working relationship sometimes caused minor disputes. “He fired me a couple of times and I quit a couple of times,” Mr. Friesen recalls. After graduation, he enrolled in Hutchinson Community College, studying for a career in banking. But a semester later, after participating in a work-study program in a Hutchinson bank, he changed his mind. “I thought I wanted to be a banker, but it wasn’t fast-paced enough, he notes. “So I fell back to something I knew about--the grocery business. The grocery business is fast-paced-it changes every four months. Right now we’re selling chili beans and crackers and in a few months, we’ll be selling ketchup and hot dogs.” Lewis Press Inc.

He and his wife Diane saw several “pluses in Kinsley. He explains, “For a small town, Kinsley has a lot. There’s a lot of downtown business, variety, and friendly people.” Since 1979, Denny’s Jack and Jill has expanded its building and increased the number of hours it remains open. Denny’s hires 20 employees, of which “12 or 13” are high school students. Why does Mr. Friesen hire so many high school workers? One reason is that students are relatively carefree. “High school students aren’t so involved in personal problems, he states, “like if the taxes are paid, or where the kids are. This allows for better concentration on the job he feels. Another reason for hiring students is that they have a basic knowledge of business. While some retailers claim students cannot be trusted, Mr. Friesen remarks, That’s not true. Students today are more mature and understand what makes the business world go.” Although he believes that student workers understand how business operates, he also concedes that they don’t know the value of a dollar. One dented can that can’t be sold means we lose money.” When students are with each other all day at school and then again at work, do they have personality conflicts? Mr. Friesen notes that no serious problems have occurred. “The kids are kept busy. So they don't have time to cause trouble with each other.” Working relations between students and older employees have also been healthy he notes. “I had some middle aged ladies working here, and they really enjoyed working with the kids. While hiring students, Mr. Friesen’s most important qualification is a “bright pleasing personality. Nine times out of ten you can make a good worker out of someone with personality.” He describes himself as a firm believer that school comes first.” This belief is supported by the fact that he employs six more workers than are actually necessary, providing flexibility for scheduling around school activities, his biggest problem with hiring high school students. Mr. Friesen also places an emphasis on classroom work. A student with poor grades may not be hired he says. In addition, “The counselor knows to call me if my employees’ grades are dropping. They won’t get very many hours if they are having trouble in classes.” Student employees also have a responsibility to stay out of trouble when not working. He explains. “They represent your store. If they get into trouble, first of all. they’re the kid of ‘so-and-so’ and next, they work at Denny’s.” He continues, I won’t tell them how to run their lives, but they know they had better play their cards right.” Dennis Friesen, owner of Denny’s Jack and Jill, describes himself as a “firm believer that school comes first.” Don’t blow your stack about insurance problems.

Feature s69A It’s a lot of work but at the end it’s worth it After selling 33 gallons of homemade ice cream, 90 pies, 300 sandwiches, and 600 hamburgers, the St. Joseph’s, St. Mary’s, and St. Peter and Paul’s Catholic Youth groups spend a weekend in Colorado. Ten years ago, Carol Streit, Offerle Middle School home economics instruc-tor, and a group of youth raised funds for a ski trip. We didn’t realize how much we could earn putting on a weekly bingo game,’’ explains Mrs. Streit. “Bingo has become our steadiest in come. In one evening, we clear from $150 to $200,’’ states Mrs. Streit. Robbie Headrick, sophomore, finds bingo the easiest project because the parents do most of the work.’ State law requires bingo workers to be 18. The kids work concessions and clean up to help out at bingo, says Headrick. Besides bingo, the high school youth raise funds through sponsoring soup suppers, cleaning, and working concessions. Monte Carlo Night in the fall raises the most money in a single evening. We clear about $1,000 on Monte Carlo. states Mrs. Streit. Headrick finds Monte Carlo “the most fun because the kids get to participate in the games while they work. The youth sell tickets, run game tables, and help with the auction. Getting the tickets delivered is the hardest job, explains Headrick. Frances Brake, sophomore, finds selling tickets the hardest thing to do. While the youth enjoy Monte Carlo night. Mrs. Streit enjoys planning the after-harvest festival concessions.’’ Headrick finds “concessions frantic. A lot of unexpected things happen. Mrs. Streit feels working concessions allows the kids to develop a good community contact. These experiences develop a closeness among the group. We take big chances on these projects. If the kids don’t make them successful. we don’t make it to Colorado. explains Mrs. Streit. Parents play an important role in the success also. Don Streit, KHS girls’ basketball coach and a parent of ski-workers, finds satisfaction in helping the group. The kids don’t say thanks for parents’ support but I think they really appreciate it.” Mr. Streit sponsors the Colorado trips. Sponsors aren’t hard to find because we really don’t have any problems with the kids. I’m along to purposely spill on chairlifts to check the lifts’ brake systems. This is my responsibility as a sponsor. Testing the lifts leads to instant recognition by resort personnel. Planning becomes the third and most important component of a successful ski trip. Bingo starts in May but our planning begins as soon as we get back from the trip,” says Mrs. Streit. In October, Mrs. Streit books hotels and transportation. “We stay in hotels where we can cook our own food; this keeps costs down. Feeding 40 people becomes a challenge but Mrs. Streit “plans the group’s food according to what my family would eat. Teresa Domme, junior, doesn’t mind fixing food. It pulls everyone together because we all help. “It’s worth planning just to see the kids learning to ski,” explains Mrs. Streit. The sponsors help the first-time skiers. Mrs. Streit finds “teaching someone to ski rewarding. A person can see their progress each day they ski. The best part of our experiences is how we all have to work together to make a successful trip. This project creates a good fellowship in a Catholic environment and gives our youth an opportunity to try a sport many would never have the chance to try if we didn’t all work together, concludes Mrs. Streit. The Catholic youth group plans to leave for Monarch April 7 and return April 10. This will give them three days of skiing since traveling is done at night. Academic groups become involved in competition Journalism Journalism students have participated in the Kansas Scholastic Press Association contest held at Hays the past three years. This year the contest was held last Thursday, Feb. 17. Students can compete in two categories against students from other 3A-2A-1A schools. All the choices deal with an aspect of newspaper or year book. Dr. Galen R. Boehme, adviser, states, The value of this contest is that it puts the student under pressure to meet a time deadline. Students have to know their materials. They get their work evaluated by professionals. He adds, “Also they get to compare their work to that of other students to see how their level of training compares. Forensics Forensic program this year has attracted nine students so far. This year no class for forensic students exists; ones involved must work on their own time. The activities that the members may enter are improvised duet acting, prose reading, poetry reading, duet acting, solo acting, informative speaking, extern porary speaking, original oration, and one-act plays. Sponsors for the group are Ms. Calene Boyer and Jim Kuhn. The students who have already shown interest in the group are seniors Shane Shanks, Kathie Maley, Darla Ryan, Janet Gray; juniors Sheila Ackerman, Deanna Hattrup; sophomores Mandy Hetzel, Amy Livengood; freshman Shelby Shanks.

It’s a good summer job and I get to see a lot of kids, explains Kandi Arens-man. lifeguard at the Kinsley Pool this past summer. 1 especially liked working with the little kids during lessons. Arensman became interested in being a lifeguard since she enjoys swimming and working with children. I always idolized the lifeguards as a kid. However, now that I’m one. it isn’t as glamorous as it seems, adds Arensman. Being a lifeguard means having a lot of fun. being with people, and getting a tan. Bui it also means cleaning the bathrooms, which I hate, states Arens man. As far as being exciting, it’s no big thrill. It’s a kind of responsibility, but after a while you get used to your jobs and it’s easy, she explains. In order to become a certified lifeguard a person must pass a two-week lifesaving and first aid course; a license must be renewed every three years. It helps to take the Red Cross swim ming lessons from a child on up, states Arensman. In the lifesaving course participants must swim a lot of laps to get into shape. We learn how to get the correct and best grip to pull a drowning person in. Sterling Bears clawed the Coyote varsity boys 74-30. The Coyotes slid by the Fairfield Falcons Saturday 46-45. Coyote JV boys were unable to control the Bears as they defeated the Coyotes, 50-31. The Falcons weren’t as lucky as the Bears. The Coyotes held them down and won 55-52. Also, I learned how to escape if the victim would panic and pull me under, describes Arensman. It’s a little scary to know that if an accident would happen, a person's life is on your shoulders. I was real nervous at first, says Arensman. The only problem Arensman experiences is trying to enforce pool laws. I don’t have any trouble with the younger kids; it’s the boys who are seniors or older, says Arensman. Janet Gray, senior, hopes to be a lifeguard next summer. I want to be a lifeguard because I need a summer job. It sounds exciting, and I’ll get a great tan, adds Gray. Barry Boggs, president of the Kinsley Recreation Commission. hires the lifeguards. In order to be eligible one must be 16 years of age and complete the lifesaving and first aid course. In July the Red Cross course will be offered to persons interested in becoming lifeguards the next summer. This summer three people will be hired, states Boggs. Teens make good workers at the pool. I’ve always had good luck with the kids and they work hard, adds Boggs. Summer job provides fun, sun WE’RE SERIOUS ABOUT YOUR EDUCATION Enrolling FOR INFORMATION ON 4 yr. Transfer Programs. .

Wrestling has at times given Shawn Bruce, freshman, cause to be alarmed. He became introduced to the wrestling program in seventh grade. He has always competed as a heavyweight. This year he wrestled both varsity and junior varsity. “As a freshman, you get a little scared when you go out on the mat against an upperclassman. remarks Bruce. Bruce does different stuff to prepare for a match. “1 try to psych myself up,” explains Bruce. Like the night before a match I’ll eat a certain meal. It’s all in your mind so you try to psych yourself up as much as possible to beat the other dude. Along with preparing his mind. Bruce prepares his body. During the summer he lifts weights and does a little running. Bruce considers himself big for a heavyweight. Actual weights in the heavyweight division range from 185 pounds on up. It’s an advantage because I have a weight advantage,” he notes. But it’s a disadvantage because I’m a lot slower than the lighter heavyweights when it comes to takedowns. Even with all his preparation, Bruce finds high school competition quite a change. Bruce admits, “Wrestling in high school is so much different than in junior high. There I weighed more than everyone else — not now. He adds, I remember my first match. I was scared stiff.” One alarming incident for Bruce in junior high occurred when he landed on an opponent’s arm in a match. I had dislocated his arm. It scared me to death, remembers Bruce. I can laugh about how scared I was now. but at the time I was thinking. ‘What have I done now?’ I was out there shaking. Athletes continually strive toward goals. One of Bruce’s goals is to go to state next year. Another long range goal is to “place at state by the time I graduate.” Regardless of the future. Bruce has gained some valuable experience this year. He shares some of what he has learned with would be wrestlers. Burkhart Meat Products Quality Meats 820 Winchester 659-2286 When you get out on the mat with a senior, it’s all right to be scared.

UM A S H has been running for 11 years, and it finally had the decency to vote itself off the air like a few other shows should. “Off the air” in this case merely means it will take its place beside “Leave It to Beaver” in the afternoon rerun time slot. With the end of “M A S H,” television may wake up and see the kind of programs it offers to viewers. The Feb. 28 issue of “Newsweek” magazine indicates the networks plan to increase the number of mini-series they show. This news should make the video cassette recorder in- dustry extremely happy. True, most of the past mini-series have been interesting, but if the networks start airing every series filmed, the quality will have to fall. A good example of a mini-series (more like a micro-series compared to the “Winds of War”) that should not have been shown is “Rage of Angels.” Clearing an entire week to watch a TV show because it is an “event” can be difficult. Try to imagine what it might be like when the networks start planning them one right after another. High unemployment may have actually helped the recent mini-series be so successful. The phenomenal showing length of these series can only be matched by the number of years it takes to film one like “The Blue and the Gray.” This may be seen as an encouraging sign, but will the networks wait for quality or push for speed to cash in on the latest TV gold mine? At this point waiting seems to be the only answer, but in the future Ethel Housewife and Henry Farmer may wish to invest in a good video cassette recorder. Editor’s column--------------------------------------------------- by Shane Shanks Number of academic contests students attend increases this year Winter sports have come and gone. With golf and track seasons not yet begun, attention can now be focused on another tvoe of inter-school contest-academic competition. Kinsley High School students will compete in all kinds of contests this spring by writing essays and by taking tests on subjects ranging from New Testament history to balancing chemical equations. Academic competitions are important for two reasons: they serve as tools for comparison and emphasize classroom content. By taking a standardized exam, KHS students can compare their levels of knowledge with those of students in other schools. Teachers and administrators can use the competitions to rate local courses with other programs in the region. These competitions are also important because they focus attention on classroom work, which is often less evident to the community than the scores of the last basketball game. Townspeople are more likely to know who is out for golf than to know what students are doing in a home economics class. A healthy trend is emerging; the num her of academic competitions for students in USD 347 is rising. Students attending Southside and Of ferle Middle School continue to compete in spelling bees and learning fairs in 1983. For example, Rachel Lightcap, seventh grader, will represent Edwards County in the state bee in Topeka April 9. But this year the schools added the Kansas Association of Teachers of mathematics competition to their calendars. The contest, held March 5 in Garden City, tested nearly 320 students in three categories-problem solving, computation, and calculators. Of the 13 local students attending, two placed in their grade divisions and are eligible to enter the state finals April 9 in Lawrence. Melanie Wetzel, fourth grader, won second in problem solving while Clay Froetschner received third in the sixth grade division of problem solving. “Our students found out there are a lot of smart kids in southwest Kansas,” says Galen Graff, math instructor at Offerle Middle School. For high school students also, new competition has been added this year. KHS will enter two teams in the Saint Mary of the Plains College Quiz Bow] March 24. The competition follows the “college bowl” format with competitors answering questions concerning math, foreign language, fine arts, and current events. “It will be a new experience,” Mini-series have invaded the air waves with the latest invader being ‘The Thorn-birds.” If a mini-series were made about Kinsley High School, what should the name of it be? Lisa Anderson: ‘“Inside the Boys’ Locker Room: An Exclusive Report.’” Kristi Williams: ‘‘‘Slow Times at Kinsley High.”' Rowdy Meeks: ‘“Private Lessons after School.’” notes Barbi Zumwalt, sophomore team member. “Current events should be the easiest, but it will probably be challenging.” Next year, a quiz bowl will become a Central Prairie League activity. The competition which will involve the largest number of students is the academic Olympics at Pratt Community College March 21. Troy Weiss, senior, competed last year and enjoys the competition because “you meet different people from other schools and get out of class.” Sixty students will enter in nearly 30 categories, competing in subjects as diverse as welding, literature, and biology. The calendar is full of upcoming competitions. Math relays, state journalism competition, and music and forensic contests provide recognition for academic achievements. Although athletics are important, it is necessary that sporting activities do not overshadow scholastic excellence. Amy Livengood: ‘“Boring, Boring, Boring’ or ‘Life in the Slow Lane.’” Rob Headrick: “‘The Hamburger that Wouldn’t Die,' ‘What They Found in Room 208,’ or ‘The Meatloaf that Got Away.’” Paula Schaller: “Space Cadet Station.’” Rusty Smith: “‘Behind the Office Door.’” Danny Streit: “‘The Sandwich that Sought Revenge.’” Voice Box 75A Opinions Cooperation leads to joint sponsoring of dance; Stuco, Pep Club split the preparations and costs Birds of a feather stick together. Those who work together stay together. These are just two of the many sayings about togetherness. Very seldom will one find something being accomplished without the help of other people. In order to show that cooperation pays, people must learn to work together. That is exactly what two organizations at KHS are doing. Student Council and Pep Club are co-sponsoring a dance in honor of St. Patrick’s Day March 18 in the high school cafeteria, 9-12 midnight. Stuco had plans earlier to hold a Valentine’s dance, but due to weather and a lack of time it was cancelled. Pep Club had been planning to have a dance so their members could reveal their locker pals. “With both clubs wanting a dance, the logical thing to do was for both to cosponsor one,” explains Duane Adams, Stuco sponsor. Stuco is providing the music by hiring a DJ, and Pep Club will be in charge of decorations, refreshments, and clean-up. “Stuco is helping out financially.” notes Miss Diane Redger, Pep Club sponsor. “A lot of the students that are in Stuco are in Pep Club, so everybody is helping out.” Stuco is providing the money for the music and Pep Club has the expense of the refreshments and the decorations.

With that money the club has to put on homecoming which usually costs us around $200-$300.” Stuco has a steady income coming from the pop machines,” explains Adams. We also have other small sales going on throughout the year for income.” Adams goes on to explain, Student Council is here for the aid of the students and the school. By helping out with dan ces and other activities, we’re accomplishing a lot.” Lisa Kallaus, Stuco representative, states, Going in with Pep Club on this dance is a great idea. By doing this you’re getting a lot more people involved.” More clubs should help each other out with different activities,” comments Kallaus.

So far this year the dances that have been held have had really successful turnouts and have been a lot of fun.” Guidelines for the dance have already been approved. For each dance a set of guidelines must be drawn up and given to Dana Randel, high school principal, for approval. Stuco has drawn up these guidelines, and has the six necessary teachers to sponsor the event. The dance will be held March 18 in the high school cafeteria. The guidelines for the dance are as follows: (1) All general school dance rules apply. (2) Time will be from 9 to 12 midnight. (3) Admission charge is: one for 50c, two for 75C, three for $1. The dance will be a successlul one only because two KHS organizations found their way to help each other. Let’s hope this spirit of cooperation continues.

BE ALL YOU CAN BL T he show must £o on Managing a small theater involves practice and family cooperation A movie is more than a bucket of pop corn. When the previews roll, the audience doesn't realize what happens behind the scenes. Managing the local Palace Theater has become a family affair for Ken and Rita Schnitker and sons Barry, Mark, Tony, and Curtis Gales. “When there are projector problems, the audience has no idea why they are happening. That's the most frustrating problem. ______________-RiU Schnitker Mrs. Rita Schnitker feels the family operation is a positive experience. “It’s a real good family job; I know where my kids are every weekend. The boys have gained a lot from it.” Because the costs of running a theater continue to escalate, movie houses across the country are finding ways to reduce spending. The local theater is no exception. “In a small town like Kinsley, you have to cut a few corners, says Mrs. Schnitker. Eliminating previews of coming attractions is one wav of cutting back, as each preview costs between $15 and $20. Low attendance is a problem the managers try to combat. “The theater must have “about 15” people in the audience to show a film. “Twice in January we didn't have enough people to show the movie,” she explains. “We usually don’t have problems though. What movies bring in the biggest audience? She says, We usually have the best turnouts for animated kids shows. ‘Peter ‘Pan’ is coming up, and I’m guessing we will have pretty good attendance for it. Showing the most current pictures also generally increases audience size, she observes. But the current hits also require a larger share of the ticket sales to be sent back to the film makers. Mrs. Schnitker notes, “Movies like ‘E.T.’ and ‘Porky’s’ require that we send back as much as 60 per cent. Others aren’t so big-we might have to just guarantee $100.” Film shipping rates also add to expenses. It usually costs $25-$30 to secure a film for one weekend she says. Members of the audience often don’t consider the behind-the-scene jobs in screening a movie. “When there are projector problems, the audience has no idea why they are happening, says Mrs. Schnitker. “That’s the most frustrating problem. Because his family operates the Palace Theater, Tony Gales, freshman, understands what it takes to show movies. The first step in operating the theater’s movie projecters is to turn on the generator, which “produces enough electricity to make the arcs, which give the light for the picture, according to Gales. Next, sound and light levels are adjusted for less distortion. But before a film is shown to the public, it must be fitted with a lens. Wider “scope movies require special lenses so that images are not stretched out to fit the screen. “We can handle two kinds of scopes,” he says. “Sometimes the picture doesn’t take up the whole screen. You change lenses so the picture isn’t distorted. The science-fiction comedy, “Heart-beeps, is an example of a movie that had to be fitted. Gales explains, “If we filled the whole screen, the people would be too tall and out of proportion.” But running a movie is not always a smooth process. The most common problem is when the film breaks during a showing. Breakage can be caused by “a number of things-cheap film or it could have been threaded into the projector wrong.” To complete the movie, the film must be spliced back together. “We take a razor and cut the film even at a frame and then tape it together with splicing tape.” Because one film of a movie is shown in several theaters, Gales admits that “sometimes the film has a lot of splices.” A full-length movie commonly consists of five or six separate reels of film, each lasting close to 20 minutes. The reels are alternated between the two projectors and overlapped slightly to give the film continuity. In order to switch reels at the precise time, the projector operator must be alert to catch the signals in the film. At the end of a reel, you can look on the screen In the upper-right corner and see a dot,” he says. The operator responds to this signal by “starting the other projector and letting the light go through the film. A few seconds later, as a second dot appears, the simultaneous projection is ended when the sound and projector are switched over. Changing reels is an activity that gets easier with practice notes Gales. He also learned by observation. “I just watched a lot when Ken (Schnitker) and Mark Gales ran things. One day when there wasn’t a big audience, I tried the changing of reels. When 100 people are watching, you don’t want to mess up.” ‘Ghandi’, ‘E.T. and ‘Tootsie’ compete for Oscars What is the best movie of the year? Although the Oscars haven’t been awarded, the field of competition has been narrowed to five films. In the following paragraphs the Breezes reviews three of the productions nominated for “best pic ture.” Also nominated for the best picture Oscar are “Missing,” starring Sissy Spacek as a woman investigating inter national kidnapping, and “The Verdict,” starring Paul Newman as an alcoholic lawyer trying to prove himself. Ghandi Richard Attenborough has finally succeeded. After more than ten years of persistent planning, the director has released “Gandhi,” an outstanding motion picture. The film literally opens with a bang to tell the story of the anti-violent Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi. Ghandi, played by Englishman Ben Kingsley, received his inspiration to strive for racial equality while riding a train through South Africa. Although he was a well-educated lawyer, he was thrown off the train-no “blacks were allowed to ride first-class. After succeeding in organizing a peaceful rebellion against English discrimination, Gandhi returned to his native India to unite the people within. “Gandhi is indeed a big production in the style of “Dr. Zhivago” and Reds. Fine direction by Attenborough prevents the movie from evolving into an unbearable three and one-half hour experience. Kingsley’s Oscar-nominated performance is remarkable in creating a solemn but charismatic ruler. But “Ghandi is not a flawless production. Although it provides a necessary relief, the intermission seems to break the story line. The use of well-known personalities, John Geilgud and Candice Bergen as Life photographer Margaret Bourke-White, should have been avoided. In such minimal roles, these celebrities have little impact on the movie and seem to have been added only as an attempt to bring attention to “Ghandi.” E.T. “E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial takes many important elements and develops them into an enjoyable film. The plot proves to be similar to a Walt Disney film. “E.T.” offers the same qualities of nonhuman superstardom much as Mickey Mouse gives the world. The extra-terrestrial character radiates with love when, by accident, he is left with a suburban family in California. E.T.’s new home is a chaotic, fun land run by three children who try to help their mother over a painful divorce. The mother, played by Dee Wallace, protrays the confused character well. The problem with her character becomes evident when the viewer realizes that the children have no support because the mother has no backbone. What was actually meant to show the children’s importance leaves the film goer with an empty, hopeless feeling towards adults. Sweden banned E.T.” because of this anti-establishment feeling. The anti-macho, frightened being from outer space learns many worldly things from Elliot, brilliantly portrayed by Henry Thomas. Communication and general understanding become whole as the two grow closer spiritually. The story line allows E.T. to demonstrate the goodness of human nature by learning from humans. Drew Barrymore plays Gertie who steals the show. The youngest child shows the most depth and true character. The viewer relates to E.T. and all the human aspects of him through the girl. Gertie introduces a drunken E.T. to her mother so innocently and irrestistably. Besides Steve Spielberg’s fine casting, his special use of lighting accents the emotions felt by the characters. The chase and the dramatic ending when E.T. phones home” leave the viewer with a special feeling of hope. “E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial” is undoubtedly a film using much of the Disney family know-how. The family shows must go on but not on, and on, and on. “E.T.” was over-promoted. The movie should have been left at just a good wholesome film and not rated a phenomenon. E.T. should phone home” and take all the obnoxious paraphernalia with him. Tootsie Dustin Hoffman reaches the top again starring in “Tootsie.” Hoffman, in the movie, is an actor who cannot find work because he is too hard-headed. Hoffman comes up with an ingenious plan to pose as a woman and get a role in a soap opera. Bill Murray, Hoffman’s roommate, sometimes wonders if this is just for the acting position or if Hoffman has “flipped.” Hoffman’s disguise is so realistic many men throughout the movie try to impress him by making flirtatious gestures. Dorothy, therefore, is Hoffman disguised. Dorothy’s friend, Jessica Lange, who is a nurse in the soap opera, often relies on Dorothy for support and womanly” advice. Hoffman has fallen in love with Lange; however, he has no way of revealing himself to her. The director of the soap opera makes a mistake so one portion of the program must be filmed live. Hoffman makes his entrance as Dorothy and then begins making up his own lines and gradually takes off his wig, false eyelashes, and jewelry, thus revealing his true identity. Hoffman displays his great acting abilities in this movie. He portrays a struggling actor and a great actress. The movie is very humorous and is well worth the time spent waiting in line. 79A Hm Features Homework may affect student’s attitude Can the way homework is handled af feet a student’s attitude towards school? Jan Hattrup, sophomore, who has always been a good student, finds herself with a different attitude toward school than before. “I get tired of taking home assignments night after night,” explains Hattrup. Hattrup has three classes which demand much after-school study. Hattrup feels students need and deserve more class time to complete assignments. Barb Zumwalt agrees with Hattrup. “If teachers would give more time in class, I wouldn't have as much homework. Also, I could ask any questions I may have while working the problems.” In the last issue of the “Breezes, the need for more class time to finish assignments was made known. Zumwalt says, “If the teachers tried giving more time, it wouldn’t hurt anything. If the privilege is abused, take it away.” As stated in the article, two disadvantages come about. The students develop a non caring attitude. Hattrup states, “Sometimes I get so tired of homework, I almost don’t care whether I get it done or not.” Dana Randel, KHS principal, feels it is important for teachers to keep the student’s interest during the class. Lewis Press Inc. Proud printers of the “KHS Breezes” (3161659-2261 Open 11 a.m. - 10 p.m. “When I was teaching, I tried to change the activity in the classroom from lecture, to an assignment, and to communicating with the students.” explains Randel. Studies show that the attention span of a normal teenager is 18 to 22 minutes. Therefore, a 60-minute class should have at least three different activities. Students who experience the most pressure of homework are mostly sophomores and juniors,” states Randel. They usually have harder classes.” Students who are involved in athletics find it extremely difficult to maintain an acceptable grade point average. Also, it is hard to be an active member of an organization. Mrs. Lona Korf, science department, says. Only slower students take work sheets home from my class. “I don’t usually five too much homework.” Korf doesn’t believe in repetitious-type homework. Generally, students have to read as an assignment. Korf believes the purpose of homework is for a better understandng of the course. “Some students can acquire this by simply taking notes.” Korf tries, in her sophomore classes, to vary the classroom activities. Often, I lecture at the beginning of the hour, then let them work on a lab. In the advanced classes, I don’t break the class up as much.” National Farmers Union Insurance John Ploger, Agent E - Z Stop While studies show that students can concentrate for only so long, Korf explains how the definition of concen tration varies: Total concentration means never looking up while reading or taking notes. If a student glances out the window, his concentration is broken. Miss Penland, mathematics instructor, feels homework constructs a responsible attitude. “Students must organize their time in order to complete school work and home chores, explains Penland. “Students who complete assignments are able to answer questions in class and gain confidence for tests. adds Penland. Penland agrees that activities in the classroom must vary. In my classes I first grade and discuss the past assign ment. I usually lecture for 15 minutes and discuss the activity,” says Penland. A student’s attitude towards school can be adversely affected by the amount of homework and time given to finish an assignment. Teachers can alleviate the problem by giving time at the end of each class period for students to work on their homework. Olympics involve many students Sixty students from Kinsley High School will compete for medals in the Pratt Community College Academic Olympics next Monday. KHS has entrants in 26 of the 35 categories testing the scholastic accomplishments of students. The competition includes not only math, science, and language divisions but also offers testing in several vocational areas like secretarial practices and auto mechanics.

Kinban Incorporated 620 Colony, Kinsley, Kansas 67547 John Wire, Jr Agent Phone 659-3602 amm m Features Students explain problems dealing with divorce ‘‘Divorce is hard to adjust to, but it has made my family closer, notes sophomore Jamie Balman. ‘‘It happened when I was two years of age. My mom wanted to keep my brother and me, so she did, states Balman. Balman feels closer to her mother because ‘‘my mom had the will power to keep the rest of the family together and go on with our lives. One item that Balman finds difficult is this: I feel different around some of the kids at school because they have both a mother and a father. ‘‘Sometimes the teachers at school or my friends will say, ‘Go ask your mom and dad if you can go do this or that, says Balman. The court decided whom my sisters and I would live with because we were all minors, recalls senior Kathie Maley. I was nine years old when my parents got a divorce. It was hard to understand why my father wasn’t going to be living in the same house as my family and I any more, notes Maley. The first thought that came into Maley’s mind was I thought my parents didn’t love me any more. As she grew up, Maley realized her thought wasn’t true. “Now, I feel that it was better my parents split when I was younger. I think if you grow up with someone all your life and then they leave, it would be more difficult, states Maley. Balman says, I really don’t miss not having my father around because I have never met him. My family relies on each other a great deal, explains Balman. KHS seniors begin countdown The countdown begins. Just 41 more days in class and the 1983 seniors will graduate. The robes and diplomas arrived last week and all we are waiting on is the speaker, explains Miss Marilyn Bauer, senior sponsor. “Class night is April 30, and so far we have only had idea meetings, states Miss Bauer. With class night just 27 school days away, many seniors become anxious for the year to end. Rhonda Fredelake, senior, finds the end coming fast. Because the weather is so nice out, it’s hard to concentrate on studying. School will be over soon, and I think about the future instead of my school work. Donna Littrell, senior, starts to count the days for all the things coming up. I can’t wait for graduation. Miss Bauer states a lot of seniors don’t realize their last day is coming up soon and things have to be done before the big day. Kary Newkirk, senior, fills out senior profile ms one of her final senior activities. If we meet ami you forget me. you have lost nothing hut if you meet JESUS CHRIST ami forget Him you have lost everything. Glory to God The loss of one parent is enough. I would be lost without the rest of my family, states Balman. Peggy Gilliam, Balman’s mother, feels that the kids had to grow up a lot faster than most kids their age. They couldn’t always rely on me because I worked. “I think they felt they had to try har der to be as good as the next person who had both parents, notes Gilliam. Balman feels that their experience has made my family stick together. I feel that if my family pulls together, we can become closer and can accomplish anything.

KANSAS 82A Sports Students jump rope for Heart About 30 participants brought in over SI.500 last Wednesday in a three-hour jump-a-thon for the American Heart Association. “Everyone was having a good time, but at the same time we were helping other people,” says Anna Baker, sophomore. For this third-year program, Offerle Middle School students joined the high school students in this project. The freshmen brought the refreshments for this activity. According to Mrs. Bobbie Lewis, director of the program, these prizes are available for the contestants: Each person bringing in one pledge gets a jump rope. If a contestant brings in $25 or more in pledges, that person receives a T-shirt. Anyone collecting $50 or more receives a canvas bag. A hooded sweat shirt goes to each student turning in pledges of $100 or more. Turning in pledges of $200 or more, the individual receives a warmup suit. A warm up, a sweat shirt, a bag, a T-shirt, and a rope are given to any individual turning in pledges of $250 or more. The winning team of brought in $ and each member of the team received a heart medallion. The winning team of Cindy Ailshie, Bonnie Bell, Becky Huntley, Kay Montgomery, Debbie Oliphant and Shelly Olsen brought in over $750 and each member of the team received a heart medallion. Coaches look ahead to spring season On your mark, get set, go! It’s that time again when tracksters begin training for various track and field events. This year 5 boys and 13 girls will compete in such events as the mile, hurdles, high jump, pole vault, and relays. “Track is individual competition,” explains Coach Bob Koontz. “Track takes hard work, dedication, and stamina. Only five boys are participating in track, which eliminates the possibility of a boys’ relay team. Each boy has other events they wish to take part in. It would be too much to have a relay team, states Koontz. “On the other hand, the girls have a possibility of having many teams, adds Koontz. Most of the girls this year are young. “I am unsure of the capabilities of these girls. I’m sure they’ll do their best,” points out Koontz. Practices began last Monday. The athletes will be running interval drills to get into shape,” says Koontz. Seven meets are scheduled this year for the tracksters. They should do well if they work hard and are dedicated,” summarizes Koontz. KHS golfers will once again walk the greens as the 1983 season begins. Thirteen students will compete in the 7-8 meets scheduled for the season. The first meet will take place either March 31 or April 5. I’m undecided if we will participate March 31 since it is during spring break.” says Coach Don Stuart. Coach Stuart was not the coach last year and is unsure who will be the best player. Magnus Englund, who has played in Sweden, sounds very promising,” states Stuart. Practice begins tomorrow. Coach Stuart often wonders, “Why does the wind always blow during golf tournaments?

This means a lot of games will be further away than usual, expresses Mr. Korf. Kinsley could likely play Lakin. Terry Bernatzki, junior football player, feels that “even if we are losing a lot of seniors, so are the other teams. I think we, as juniors, can step up and get interest back into the program. Next year’s cross country team won’t be losing a majority to graduation but gaining interest will be important. According to Terry Springer, junior cross country runner, “senior recruiting plays an important role. We will talk to underclassmen and start running in two-mile competitions this summer. Graduation won’t harm next year’s KHS volleyball squad according to Mrs. Bobbie Lewis, volleyball coach. “I started planning seriously for my ’83 season about mid-season this year. It’s not that I gave up on this year’s team; it’s just that next year’s seniors are a special group,” states Mrs. Lewis. “These girls are special because I’ve had them for three years. When I put that all-senior squad on the court, they will have that experience needed to win,” explains Mrs. Lewis. Next year’s senior squad will have a powerful spiking line with a one-setter offense, says Mrs. Lewis. Kinsley Coop Exchange Burkhart Meat Products Quality Meats 820 Winchester 659-2286 Along with senior experience Mrs. Lewis feels “leadership will be the key to winning. I haven’t seen such a positive attitude in a group of seniors since the Peterson, Kohlmeier, Rush years. Teresa Domme, junior and three-year varsity volleyball starter, feels very “confident about next season. We want to go to state. This summer all of us are going to work out three days a week and hopefully be ready for anyone.” John Davis, KHS B-team girls’ coach, explains the secret to next year’s season as the number of seniors out. Usually not many girls stay out for sports all through high school. UI started planning seriously for my '83 season about mid-season this year. It's not that I gave up on this year's team; it's just that next year's seniors are a special group.’’ -Mrs. Bobbie Lewis “We lost three quick guards, but we will still be strong, predicts Don Streit, KHS girls’ basketball coach. “I’ve already been thinking of drills to strengthen our defense. I will have to change our offense to accommodate our height,” states Mr. Streit. “I’m looking forward to starting over and playing a more controlled and defensive game,” states Mr. Streit. While the girls’ squad will be changing their offense, Mr. Jim Kuhn, boys’ basketball coach, will “stick with the same program.” Mr. Kuhn feels “the third year should show the program to be effective. My starters will have been under me for three years and this will be the key to winning. Kinsley, Ks. Youth and Adult Leagues Open Bowling Tues - 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. Sat. - 2 - 11 p.m. Sun. - 2 -11 p.m. The girls' and boys’ basketball teams will not lose much height. Troy Loren-zen, 6’2” junior, feels the senior year is the most important because it prepares you for college. Some of us are going to camps this summer and we hope next year is successful.” Wrestlers also work hard during the summer lifting weights, attending camps, and running. Pete Liebl, junior wrestler, describes the feelings of a junior anticipating his senior year of sports: “I’m going to practice bossing the freshmen around this summer because next year we, the seniors, will be on top.

Why just join? If you have great ideas, the desire to work, and a cause you believe in. vou have the qualities of being a good leader. Yes, election time is upon us again, and it’s time for students to get involved. Whether the students realize it, this is their school, not the teachers’, not the principal's, and not the administration's. Sure, they have say in what happens, but the students can influence by their actions the decisions the administration makes. Being an officer in an organization has many advantages. George Bakumenko, industrial arts instructor, states, “It allows students to gain personal and social experience in a field other than classroom experience.” Having the title of president, vice-president, secretary and or treasurer, you must work with other students and adults in as well as out of school. As an officer, you will also be in closer contact with what is happening in school. But to every good side, a bad exists. “Being an officer also requires that you accept a lot of criticism from all directions,” explains Duane Adams, Student Council sponsor. As an officer you grow in many ways. You will realize that in order to accomplish some projects, hard work is a must. Also your term as an officer will no doubt have its ups and downs. But you will end your term, knowing your ability to handle problems has become much stronger. Make running for the office position fun. Get a campaign manager to help out with the public relations. Give speeches, debate with the opponent, and let the rest of the students know why you are the best choice. Once you have decided to run, you automatically say you can handle what comes along while in office. When elected, you must take on that responsibility to take the challenges, not to give them to fellow officers. Each position has certain responsibilities to handle and if the “I don't have time, let someone else do it” attitude comes in, trouble is not far behind. Be sincere in running for election and make sure that you want the responsibilities that go along with it. No job is ever always easy. Somewhere along the line difficulties appear. But if you keep in there, the good will show stronger than the bad. Classes will hold their elections Friday. K-Lettermen and GAA elections will be April 20; Pep Club will vote April 27; Kayettes and FHA will conduct elections May 4. =Voice Box= In an effort to increase students' interest in the Student Council elections, candidates were encouraged to campaign. To see if this decision has worked, students have been asked to answer this question: Why or why not is campaigning a good idea? Lisa Kallaus, junior: “It's good, but if someone has a friend running, they will vote for their friend no matter what.” Barbie Zumwalt and friends, sophomores: “It helps encourage the students to get involved with school government. Also it helps them to play favorites. It’s a popularity contest. “We, the students, in order to form a more perfect school district.. Melanie Wear, freshman: “I think they should explain to the freshmen what’s going on.” Ronnie Wetzel, sophomore: “I guess it’s all right. It doesn’t make any difference to me.” Traci Herrmann, junior: This way everyone knows who’s running.” Shane Miller, sophomore: “It shows they have an interest.” Deanna Hattrup, junior: “It lets the students know before hand who will be running for what position.” Editor's column--------------------- Identity of character Who am I? I am not a king although I often act as though I am. I am not real, but some believe I am. To some I am merely an idea and to others I am a friend. Some see me every day and laugh, but others may choose not to see me. My face can be seen almost anywhere in the United States. Some people were unhappy to see my face appear because it meant someone else removed to make room for me. I tried to cheer them up, but they still complained. However, I regard these people with my usual disdain. I appeal mostly to students, but individuals of all ages can be found among my fans. They are drawn to be because of my charisma. Or is it my animal magnetism? My fans enjoy my thoughts, feelings, and actions I share with them about life. Although I cannot speak, I have another very successful way of communicating. I am often laughed at for my actions and thoughts, but I do not mind because I have fun making people laugh. My name is often found in print because I am a star, not as big of a star as a king, but more Americans probably know my name than any present king's name. While I am not normally found among these pages, maybe star gazers will be able to spot my name in this special issue.

Reviews California rock musicians find success with “Spring Session M” Missing Persons has found the method for producing a commercially successful album-fill it with only well-performed songs. By doing this, Missing Persons has placed their latest recording, Spring Session M, on “Billboard magazine’s top 20 albums chart. This LP has also launched four singles into the top 100, beginning last spring with Words. followed by Destination Unknown,” “Windows,” and the current Walking in L.A.” The California-based band consists of the husband-wife team of Terry and Dale Bozzio (Dale is the woman), drums and lead vocals, Warren Cucurullo on guitar, Chuck Wild with keyboards, and Patrick O’Hearn playing bass. Spring Session M borrows two numbers from the group’s first album and adds ten new songs to form an interesting display of Missing Persons’ style. Side one opens with Noticeable One,” concerning a debutante’s effort to remain in the spotlight: am your social and cultural leader. I create the fads and make all the scenes. You know about me from your “Weekly Reader. ” I'm on the cover of your magazines. I am one of the noticeable ones. Notice me. Dale Bozzio’s guttural singing of this tune is ideal for lyrics which outline a desperate plea for attention. This characterization is accompanied by light snare drum and heavy, buzzing cymbals. Noticeable One also makes good use of high bell-like tones in between its strong guitar-oriented sections. ‘it Ain't None of Your Business describes a girl’s effort to escape her boyfriend’s surveillance-it is almost a drama set to music. She pleads: I feel like someone who 's in jail; Now let go of my shirttail. Sharp, precise pronunciation makes these fast-moving lyrics understandable. Humming synthesizers spiced with runs that seem to have come from a video game provide the foundation for Destination Unknown, a popular dance tune. Rattling percussion and secondary vocals are also prominent, giving an effective backing for the babyish-sounding Bozzio, who sings about not knowing which direction her life should turn. “Walking in L.A. is charismatic with a rougher sound than most of the other sounds on the LP. In contrast, U.S. Drag, with its irregular drumbeats, can be easily overlooked. The second side begins with Tears, a more relaxed vocal melody. But this selection is mixed with a bass in continuous motion to produce an illusion of speed. This piece is followed by Words,” the album's best track. It uses mellow chords pierced with strings and a stereotyped dumb-blond voice, probing the world of mass communications: What are words for When no one listens? There’s no use talking at all. Rock and Roll Suspension has a grinding military sound complete with march-like snare drums. The Missing Persons’ poetic pronunciation is also evident in this song-words are emphasized to give the lyrics special notice. Also included on side two are Here and Now,” No Way Out, and the energetic Bad Streets.” Spring Session M could benefit from more varied instrumentation, especially on the keyboards. This is not to suggest Letters that the LP has no variety; instead, the variations that exist are subtle. Also, although Bozzio’s vocals are never boring, her voice sometimes approaches a frenzied squeak instead of an open tone. By giving attention to these problems. Missing Persons may find ways to im prove the success of its group. ——— -Shane Shanks Dear editor: I have always been very interested in the Breezes and I have always supported you, the instructor and staff.

Marcy took first in the sports writing category while Shanks took first in the editing division. Within a two-hour period of time, Marcy and the other contestants in the sports writing division interviewed one of the student directors of the upcoming Kansas Relays and then wrote a feature about the interview. Shanks and the other contestants in the editing division prepared copy for publication by considering such traits as attribution, punctuation, flow of thought, and grammar. Dr. Galen R. Boehme, publications adviser, remarks, It’s very unique for a school to enter two students, and both of those students win first-place winners.

A memorial fund has been established for the athletic department at Kinsley High School. Tire changing contest combines written, practical Attention, drivers’ education students! All students who have taken the course since last summer are eligible to compete in the annual tire changing contest. Students will be required to take a written test over tires and tire changing. Also students will race against the clock while changing a tire. Each person’s score from the written exam and the timing will be averaged for a total score. First and second place winners in both the boys’ and girls’ division will be awarded key chain medals. Interested students should contact Mrs. Bobbie Lewis, drivers’ education instructor. The contest date will be established and announced at a later time. Features Spring play stresses ‘light-hearted’ fun in theme “Rest Assured,” the spring all-school play, has a frantic, frenzied touch since its primary characters, notes Ms. Calene Boyer, director of the play, have an insatiable drive to succeed. Two families control the stage in this three-act humorous play: Mr. and Mrs. Morlock and their two daughters Mary and Jessica; Mr. and Mrs. Lanconi and their son Joe. As a vice-president of a large company, Morlock has one goal: to be successful. And to some extent, he has been since his hard work has made him wealthy and socially respectable. Lanconi, a butcher, and his family do not have the same values as the Morlock family upholds. These two different values of family life conflict when Joe Lanconi and Mary Morlock fall in love and ask permission from their parents to get married. The Lanconi family grants the right, but Morlock rebels. Comedy And here,” says Ms. Boyer, the comedy begins. The playwright uses juxtaposition as a way of creating humor to resolve the conflict: Will Joe and Mary get married even though Morlock disagrees? Juxtaposition is pitting one image of a character against another. In doing this, the playwright brings out the theme that the caring person in any family needs warmth, understanding, and compassion. During tryouts, recalls Ms. Boyer, the students found the play entertaining. I could tell since they found themselves listening to the lines of other characters and laughing at the thoughts Lewis Press Inc. Proud printers of the “KHS Breezes” coming forth. I found their responses encouraging. Ms. Boyer chose “Rest Assured after ordering and reading six different plays. This play meets her criteria: First, the comedy is light hearted, fun to rehearse, contains several major roles with humorous character interaction, all conveying a message. Second, the play will involve the com munity in a theatrical production. I need some stage props which local families can provide: furniture, ticker tape, vases, a black physician’s bag, a pitchfork, a feather duster, a mop, other small home items. I invite community individuals to contact me at the high school if they can loan some of these items for the play.” The cast for the play to be presented May 14, 7:30 p.m., high school auditorium, follows: Cast Mr. Morlock-Shane Shanks; Mrs. Morlock- Debi Oliphant; Mary Morlock-Mandy Hetzel; Jessica Morlock- Beth Gleason; Mildred the maid-Cheryl Ker sting. Joe Lanconi- Donny Streit; Luigi Lan-coni -Terry Bernatzki; Martha Lanconi Fran Brake; Lucifer-Dale Schinstock; Miss Akers -Kathy Maley. George Plew-Lex Wilkerson; Mrs. Schmaltz-Sheila Ackerman; Dr. Brown- Wayne Butler; Mr. Black-Steve Barnes; Jake--Jim Bowman; Mrs. Frinck-Cindy Ailshie. In selecting the students for the various roles, Ms. Boyer explains that voice, gestures, body language, and facial expressions played an important part. Before the evening of tryouts, I gave the interested students two bits of information: a brief synopsis of the play as well as a description of the scene in which the particular character acts. Then at the tryouts, I gave sections of the play where students had to do either duet or group acting. On the basis of the students reading and acting out these lines, I determined which student could portray what character. “I realize that this decision is primarily a personal judgment, but this process allows me to consider a student’s use of voice, gesture, body language, and facial expressions to reveal a character.” During Ms. Boyer’s teaching career, she has directed two junior plays, two senior plays, one all-school play, and one musical-- You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown. With each of these productions as well as with Rest Assured, Ms. Boyer stresses that staging a play involves not only choosing an appropriate one but also finding resources as well as selecting and guiding a student cast.

The number after a student's name represents the grade level.! Just who is death? Just who is death I’ve often asked myself. Is death a man long dead, a friend or foe? Can death be real or is he just an elf? What is his charge? Who tells him where to go? Why must death come at such untimely times When life is in its height and full of pride? Death takes all men accused or not of crimes, Those men involved or those content to ride. When Grim the reaper walks alone at night, Both man and beast stand still when he comes near For Grim fills all strong men with childlike fright Composed of men who died in pain and fear. He laughs at men who scorn him in their thought And smiles when they are to destruction brought. -Wayne Butler (12) I believe ...

Concerning my state, I believe that we the people stand on fine soil. Concerning my future, I believe that life won’t always be the same.

What lengths should one go through for his best friend For friendship? Single, strolling the huge earth, He then finds love, a brother, at the end. The two together have a brand new birth. One goes astray, does evil works and deeds. As a big gambling man, he was not blessed. “Turn back to God and live aright,” one pleads. “What must I do to turn you back?” he stressed. Work hard, day in, day out to help gain back Your friend and friendship, his great gift. Without, Alone the earth you’ll walk and love shall lack. Alive, but living not, there is no doubt. When friends fall from the path, this thought think through: Do anything to bring him back to you. -Karla Wagner (12) ‘Said the dragon to the knight so brave..

He wanted to eat me so I ran, ran, ran until I was tired. But then I looked up and saw more and more. Now I had to run but which way? They were all around me. I saw a tree. I jumped up to the tree. Then I saw Miss Tyree! I asked what she was doing up there. She said the monster was going to eat her up too. So together we sat there until night. Then it looked like nobody was there so we started down the tree. But then the mosters were still there and they were chasing us. They caught us finally and said they would lock us up for one day. Then they would eat us up. We had to get out of there - but how? There was no key. Then the time was up and the monsters came and got us. We couldn’t let them so we tried to fight them. They won, but we tried. Then they started taking us to the oven. Just then Heather Smith came in. She tried to help us. They got her too. Then the whole Froetschner family came in! They got all the monsters and locked them up in jail. But there was still one monster. I took my fist and gave him a bloody nose. He said he gave up so I locked him up in jail too. And that was the end of the monster. -Erica Froetschner (2) All Day Clown It all started when I wanted a job. Then I saw in the newspaper that there was a circus in town.

One day Jacitara and I were walking through the forest. I was leaving pretty soon so we didn’t say much. Jacitara's fur was rippling happily but her eyes were sad. I smiled. She smiled back. Sss-sss-sss. I saw a snake. He came toward me. His eyes flickered. Jacitara jumped in front of me and sank her teeth into the snake’s neck. I screamed! I woke up. I found out it was a bad dream.

The question is: Is that his real iden tification card or is it someone else’s? Jean Menard, employee of the E-Z Stop, Kinsley, finds it hard to tell whether the ID is fake. I don’t know all the kids in Kinsley because I haven’t lived here all my life so I don’t know whether the ID belongs to them or someone else, explains Mrs. Menard. Mrs. Menard finds a “fair amount of underaged students coming in to buy beer at the E-Z Stop. She has never found anybody with a fake ID. She says. If they are underaged, the kids usually say they don’t have it or try to avoid showing it. For anyone looking underaged the E-Z Stop tries to check the ID. which is the driver’s license. Mrs. Menard feels that there should be a law enforced about fake ID’s because she feels that kids get into trouble buying beer but (laughing) when I was a kid I probably didn’t think there should be. It is not hard for a person to get a fake ID card. One can be ordered out of many magazines. Darla Ryan, senior feels that people should not be able to sell ID’s that way; she says, They don’t know who they are really issuing them to because they have no prouf what they look like or anything because all you do is mail it in. Ryan has used somebody else’s driver’s license to get in to bars before but has never been caught. She has tried to buy beer before and they asked for her driver’s license. She had to tell them that she didn’t have it with her and they made her put the beer back. Ryan doesn’t find much harm in using fake ID’s. She explains, The person using the fake ID must realize the chances that they’re taking getting caught with it. r|KANSAS PRltfCR's UcevgE Classe D C3PO onuH ou«i4 sex M jA eyes WEIGHT IZO John Doe Bo x % 3 . For punishment, Ryan explains. I think they should just take their ID card away because if it belongs to someone else, they will be out something too.” Terry Fuller, attorney-at-law in Kinsley, finds fake ID’s mainly related to minors obtaining alcoholic beverages. Another incident dealing with fake ID’s Seven students place fifth or better at Pratt is when a traveler uses a fake ID to cash a check. “It is also unlawful to lend an ID to someone else that is underaged. Breaking of this law may lead to a 30-day sentence and or a $500 fine, states Mr. Fuller. Laws prosecuting the seller of fake ID’s include KSA 21-3830 which states: illegal sales lead to one year in jail and or $25,000 fine. HEY WHATSIT REALTY LIKE IN THE ARMY?

Something that most people are not aware of it is that “businesses have been using the power of color on us for a long time. Three colors, when used together, will make a person hungry. They are hot pink, bright yellow, and bright orange. “If you use two of these colors together, they will make you hungry; but all three together give even a stronger message. These colors are used in fast food businesses like Taco Bell, Burger King, and the Golden Arches, notes Mrs. Koontz. Clothing colors people wear each day play an important role in a person’s life. Mrs. Jeanne Huslig, an adviser of color coding and also a Mary Kay consultant, says. “When holding different colors of material up to one’s face, the wrong color will tend to make a person look pale or sallow. It accentuates lines and shadows around the mouth and nose and dark circles under the eyes. “The correct colors will smooth and clarify your complexion, minimize lines, shadows, and circles. Correct colors will also bring a healthy look and color to one’s face, notes Mrs. Huslig. People used to “match the make-up color and clothing. Now they are match ing clothing to the individual and make up, states Mrs. Huslig. There are two types of skin tone colors, cool and warm. One’s skin type can be found by working with a Mary Kay consultant. Mrs. Koontz and Mrs. Huslig have received the proper training with cosmetics along with color coding or color charisma to help one find her correct skin tone and correct clothing colors. “The color of make-up a person should wear is determined by whether she has a Fran Brake applies the color of eye make-up that best complements her skin tone in front of the locker room mirror.

It’s the shade and intensity that count. Finding the colors that best complement each individual's unique skin tone brings out her natural beauty,” states Mrs. Huslig. The process of determining one’s correct color group is called “color analysis or “color coding, notes Mrs. Koontz and Mrs. Huslig. “There are millions of colors in each color group. The secret is to determine which ones are in your individual color group, says Mrs. Koontz. Mrs. Huslig says, “To find your color group, do a self-evaluation of body colors, including skin, hair, and eyes. This can be done by meeting with a color consultant. One color that anyone can wear is turquoise. If you fold a color wheel in half, turquoise is in the middle. Therefore, it is considered a universal color, states Mrs. Huslig. Many people are used to receiving negative messages from continually wearing the wrong colors that when they discover their correct ones, the change in people’s reactions toward them can be a little scary. All of a sudden people begin to relate to them and to share their experiences and feelings. notes Mrs. Koontz. Businesses have been using color analysis on people around the world for years, but the public hasn't been aware of it. For example, Mrs. Koontz says that the colors red, white, and black make a person grow hungry for sweets. Coke-a-Cola Company knows that and puts it to use by coloring the pop cans red and white. Fancy restaurants use deep red and black carpets. Black leather seats and rough black iron also help to create a hunger. If the business world is aware and uses color coding practices on the public. Mrs. Koontz and Mrs. Huslig question if the public should not become more aware of color analysis. Fox’s Department Store 200 E. 6th 659 3161 Centerfold 97A Fantasy adventure game captures junior high students' imagination “You enter the room and six hobgoblins suddenly attack. Are you going to battle or flee? asks the Dungeon Master. Scenes such as the one above happen often in the game “Dungeons and Dragons.” Unlike other games. “D D does not require a board or a computer screen. In fact, all that a player needs are paper, pencil, and special dice. “Graph paper helps, but it’s not necessary,” states Scott Bean, seventh grader. “You'll need the rule books at first. After that, only the Dungeon Master will need them.” Actually “D D” has very few rules because it takes place in a player’s imagination. Several books can be bought which explain the guidelines. However, the most important reason for the books is that they contain the charts necessary to compute the answers to the dice throws and the character descriptions. “We had questions, and we rolled the dice to see how they were answered. It’s a good game, but it's been a long time since I’ve played. I’ve forgotten a lot of it. -Pete Liebl Rob Meeks, seventh grader, describes “D D“ as a fantasy game. It takes a lot of time, but it’s fun and interesting. It could cost a lot of money though if you buy all the books.” The special dice set includes geometric- shaped dice going from 4-sided to 20-sided. These unique dice play an impor tant role in “D D. Bean points out, “About 90 per cent of it is luck.” Pete Liebl, junior, learned how to play “D D” in the short time he attended Thomas Moore Prep, Hays. Although he has not played since, he still remembers the game. “We had questions, and we rolled the dice to see how they were answered,” remarks Liebl. It’s a good game, but it’s been a long time since I’ve played. I’ve forgotten a lot of it.” Other than the dice, “D D” demands only a good imagination. “You need to know how to start. You don’t have to be super smart, but it helps if you are semi-smart. Then again, if my brother can play it, anybody can,” jokes Meeks. According to Meeks and Bean, “getting started will be the hardest part for a beginner. Meeks reassures, “Everything sort of falls into place after that.” Bean comments, “It’s hard getting ready for an adventure. The book suggests ideas, but you have to make up an island and put stuff in like that. Also, you have to buy your character’s supplies.” Before starting an adventure in this medieval fantasy time, players choose their characters. Some possible characters are dwarves, fighters, and magic-users. Then these characters obtain supplies and weapons which they will use in the adventure. All of this preparation depends on the dice throws a player makes. When play finally begins, one player takes the role of the Dungeon Master. The Dungeon Master controls the game. He sets up the territory which the ad venture will cover and he places the treasure and the monsters where he wants them. He keeps this information to himself. As the game goes along, he describes what the players can see. Also, as the E-Z Stop Hwy 56 Niles Dungeon Master, he rolls the dice for the monsters while remaining neutral minded. At the completion of each adventure, a player may move up a level. The higher the level, the more skills a player has so his chances of survival increase. Bean notes, “The goal of the game is to see how many levels you can go up without getting killed.” In some newspaper stories D D has been linked to Satanic origins. Other stories run wild about strange hap penings which are attributed to “D D.” For some people “D D” seems to be addictive. Although Bean admits he once played for eight hours in one day, he and his friends get together only once a week and play for two to three hours. Bean feels, You’ve got to be crazy to be addicted to it. It’s not real.” However, his mother. Mrs. Wanda Bean, remembers her misgivings about letting her son play. “I was afraid of it because it’s too easy to spend too much time playing that in stead of doing something more construe tive, remarks Mrs. Bean. Now I have adjusted my thinking about it. To me it’s no worse than being addicted to video games.” Regardless of all the negative stories about “D D,” it will probably be around for a long time. In an age where most games require little more than hitting a button on a video game or moving a miniature figure around the board, games that stretch an individual’s imagination may become more popular. Liebl comments, I like it because you can just about create your own game.” National Farmers Union Insurance John Ploger. Agent 98A Features Persistence, hope finally pay off for Williamses An old adage states. “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.” Mr. and Mrs. Duane Williams, Kinsley High School music instructors, have followed this advice. After nearly five years of persistence, they have adopted a son, Nicholas Edward, born January 11. In 1978, while living in Grainfield, the Williamses made the decision to adopt. Following the advice of other adoptive parents, they consulted Social Rehabilitative Services (SRS). Mr. Williams explains, “Most of the people we talked to were older and had adopted through agencies. It used to be a lot easier to adopt through SRS when more babies were available. When the Williamses visited the SRS office in Gove County, they found that the adoption would not be an easy process. There was a backlog of people wanting white, healthy babies,” says Mrs. Dixie Williams. “They (SRS) made you feel guilty because that's what you want instead of special-need children. Because of the high demand. SRS would not accept the Williamses’ application for adoption. Next, they traveled to Oklahoma City to a private, church-related agency. At this agency, they were subjected to nearly four hours of testing and interviews. Mrs. Williams says, They put us in separate rooms and had us take com-patability tests to match us with the mother. The tests consisted of several questions which were repeated with only a slight change of wording. Mr. and Mrs. Williams were also tested to see if their personalities as mates were compatible. However, their application was refused by the agency because they attended church only once a week. We were in the choir and I played the organ and was in a women’s group, but that didn’t matter, she notes. Mr. Williams continues. The agency didn't consider that we lived in a town of 450 and our church held only one service a week.” Over the next two years, they also East Highway 50, Kinsley (316) 659-2261 Open 11 a.m. - 10 p.m. visited other agencies including the Kansas Children’s Service League and the Lutheran Social Service. However, the Williamses found that no agencies were taking new applications-except an agency affiliated with the Catholic church. “The diocese where we lived wouldn't take applications from nonCatholic couples, says Mrs. Williams. If we had lived in the diocese at Garden City or Great Bend, we wouldn’t have had any problem. We just lived in the wrong place.” After two and one-half years with little success, the Williamses felt it was time for a new plan of action. He states, Our contact with agencies was disappointing. We realized our best bet would be with a private attorney. So in September 1980, they contacted three attorneys who do searches for familes wanting to adopt babies. Mrs. Williams explains, “They’ve inquired during the last two years, but we had no opportunities until November (1982). It took that long for our name to get to the top of the client list. Just two days before Thanksgiving, the Williamses were notified by one of their attorneys of a baby to be born immediately. They said it would be ours if we wanted it, she remembers. “On her last visit to the doctor, the mother had said she wanted to give the baby up. But then she never returned to the doctor. Our attorney couldn’t track her down. Later, in February, an opportunity for another baby emerged. The adoption was all legally arranged, but once again the Williamses did not receive their child. Mrs. Williams recalls, She (the mother) had the baby, and the hospital workers insisted that she hold it. Then she changed her mind and wouldn't sign the consent forms. So we lost that one too. “We were very excited when our attorney called to tell us of a possibility. We had been waiting basically five years for a baby,” she continues. “But when we lost those chances, it was very much the same feeling as if a family death had occurred. Despite these setbacks, the Williamses persisted, vowing to never give up hope. Their attorney called on March 7, about a chance to adopt an 8-week old boy. He said we had a 50 50 chance to keep it because not all the forms had been signed. We had to say ‘yes’ or ‘no’ if we’d take him, knowing we might not get to keep him. After weeks of searching, the natural father still had not been located and had not signed the necessary legal forms. The next day, the Williamses drove to pick up the baby. To their pleasure, the attorney had located the father and secured his signature. We didn’t know for sure that we would be able to keep Nicholas until we got there, recalls Mrs. Williams. To completely seal the adoption, the couple still must have a home-study done by a social worker and attend the final hearing next Tuesday, April 19. If the Williamses were to start the adoption process again, would they change their procedure? Knowing what I know now, I wouldn’t bother with the agencies. For us, they just weren’t much help, she says. Mr. Williams adds, We got a bleak picture of the agencies. Some of them you really have to watch out for-they just give you the run around. Along with patience and persistence, faith was a very, very important factor for them in lasting through their struggle. “You have to be willing to take disappointment, says Mrs. Williams. “We had no idea it would be so hard to adopt. We were devastated when no one would take an application. We thought it would be easy. Mrs. Mary Ann Schinstock, first grade teacher at Southside, and her husband, Melvin, also recently adopted a child through a private attorney. Born March 17, the baby has been named Mitchell Brent.

Kansas 67547 John Wire, Jr Agent Phone 659 3602 Sports Brother, sister work together towards a successful track season Brothers and sisters that run together have fun together. Kyle and Davean Whipple, both in track, illustrate this fact. Davean states, “Running with Kyle gives me confidence in myself. Also, he gives advice on my running technique.” Kyle feels by training together they help each other out. “When we run together, we work harder,” Kyle points out. Kyle and Davean were introduced to track and field events while attending grade school by their father. “My dad entered me in the Junior Olympics in fourth grade. I participated every year until the seventh grade,” explains Kyle. Mr. Whipple always enjoyed running. He passed this on to his children. “I have liked running for as long as I can remember,” says Kyle. Tennis fans, break out your rackets and prepare for the second annual tennis tournament. The program began last spring when the school board asked that Mrs. Bobbie Lewis organize the tournament. “The kids really seemed to enjoy the program last year so I was asked to set it up again this year,” states Lewis. Lewis feels the tourney offers students an activity to fill spare time after school. Activities like this keep the kids busy doing something fun, plus getting a lot of exercise. Most of the students are involved simply for the fun of it,” adds Lewis. Terry Bernatzki says, I entered the tournament because I like to play tennis, but I can never find a partner.” More students display interest in the tournament this year than they did last spring. Kinsley Coop Exchange Burkhart Meat Products Quality Meats 820 Winchester 6592286 Davean’s running interests began in third grade when she entered her first Junior Olympics competition. Davean states, After participating in Junior Olympics, I discovered how much I enjoyed running.” Although track is a short season sport, the endurance and coordination gained help in other sports. Football is Kyle’s favorite sport; however, he finds track helps eliminate problems such as cramps. Track helps me concentrate on my running technique which helps me in football,” explains Kyle. In the past when both Kyle and Davean were involved in Junior Olympics, they trained together a lot. When Kyle entered junior high, he stopped participating in the Olympics. This ended their training together. Davean and I are looking forward to This year, unlike last year, a boys’ and a girls’ division is available. However, if there are not enough entries, it will become a coed tournament. I think some students enjoyed the coed tournament, especially the doubles sets,” says Lewis. Lewis takes the names of interested students and organizes brackets. The brackets are posted in the hall on the bulletin board. The tournament must be completed in 34 days. Tournament play began last Friday. First and second place winners will be awarded medals in each division. “I’m glad the kids show such an interest in the tournament. The community has good facilities and I’m happy they’re being put to good use, states Lewis. JhuZVcdhui T. NATION’S LARGEST HARDWARE CHAIN ... Hudspeth’s True Value Hardware 113 E. 6.

Kansas THE KINSLEY BANK “Member FDIC” “Money Invested at Home Works at Home” 102AOpinions System of choosing scholars should be different val e dic to ri an,n. In American high schools, the student of the graduating class who pronounces the valedictory oration at commencement, usually the student who ranks first in scholarship, (f. salutatorian.) The definition of valedictorian may differ at Kinsley High School than that given by Webster. Valedictorian and salutatorian honors now go to the two seniors with the highest and second highest cumulative grade point average throughout high school. The key word in Webster’s definition is “scholarship. Scholarship means “having character or qualities of a scholar, learning.” Many critics feel the honor should go to a student “having character,” one of the considerations in election to National Honor Society. A problem arises with determining who decides. Another downfall proves to be a teacher's inability to be impartial and analytical in determining a quality student and defining quality. “Qualities of a scholar” mean intelligence and application of acquired skills. Interpretation of this definition shows problems in determining intelligence. Grade point average does not always show a student's intelligence or learning. At KHS the grade point average for a person taking very demanding classes becomes as meaningless as the student who takes less demanding classes. A new system must be developed. Dana Randel, KHS principal, states that “colleges look for a student’s rank. GPA, along with test scores (ACT, SAT) when giving out scholarships.” The current system of determining grade point average could leave the prepared student, with those demanding courses, cheated out of deserved scholarship money. Not only are students hurt, but also because colleges use this faulty system they do not find well-qualified students. With so much emphasis put on grades, KHS steers some students away from more challenging classes. A high school honor system should not lead students away from a well-rounded education. The Kinsley High honors program must be changed to promote learning. The State of Michigan uses a very good system to determine grade point averages. Academic classes, such as math, sciences, English, and social studies are counted double. On a four-point scale, for example, and English grade of an “A” would count as eight points instead of four. The elective classes such as shop, music, art, home economics, and P.E. would only count as one grade. This system could promote higher level learning while still allowing for a well-rounded program. The colleges would be able to use grade point averages along with the ACT testing to find the best-qualified student. The biggest beneficiary will be the students of KHS. The valedictorian honor will no longer make students strive for good grades only. The students wouldn’t feel obligated to bypass the needed, demanding classes just to make good grades. High school honors should support academic excellence. KHS needs this change. Editor’s column----------------------------------------------------------Peggy Marcy Senior changes views on chipping ice, kissing, and wrecking cars It is finally here; graduation is finally here. Most of the time I never thought it would come. I remember watching my brother chip ice off the windshield and wishing I were old enough to chip ice. I remember accidentally observing a good night kiss and vowing I would never let a boy kiss me. I also recall waking up in the morning to be told one of my brothers or sisters and sometimes all of my brothers and sisters were in the hospital again and promising I would be more careful when I grew up. In fact, everyone in my family had so many accidents I accepted it as my unavoidable fate. Needless to say, chipping ice is no longer glamorous, kissing is no longer a horror, and wrecking cars is no longer the favorite pastime of the Marcy family. Just as my opinions have changed in these areas, they have also changed in many other areas. I have discovered how valuable and flexible parents are. They can do everything from turn away unwanted suitors to tie bows. They can even mow the lawn (if given an incentive), pay bills, and take pictures (if you don’t mind not getting the heads in the picture). After 18 years of my training them, there is only one major area my parents still need to work on. Sometimes Dad is a little slow at rescuing me from vicious insects or mice (both seem to be unex-plainably attracted to me). When I see a spider, I run to ask Dad to kill it. The majority of the time we stand there arguing back and forth about who will kill it until the spider crawls away and the question answers itself. Even graduation has changed its meaning to me. For a while I saw it only as a means of ridding me of bothersome brothers and sisters. Then as my friends began to graduate, it became something to be dreaded. I was silly enough to believe those graduating dreaded it too. After all, did not adults always wish to Every year it is traditional for the senior class to choose a class motto. This year’s class chose “Learn from the past. Build for today. Dream of the future.” Seniors were asked: What is your class motto? Larry Craft: “Shoot, I don’t know.” Wayne Butler: “I don’t know.” Gary Bagby: “I don’t know.” Maureen Herrmann: “Learn from today. Live for tomorrow, or somethin like that.” be back in high school? Adults always say that you will miss high school later. And I believed them. I still believe they are right for some people, but not for me. I will not wish to go back to high school. Parts of it? Yes, but not all of it. Why do I disagree with so many adults? I have worked hard to get where I am so why would I want to start all that work over again? If I have to work, it may as well be to get somewhere I have never been than someplace I have already passed. Donny Streit: “Uh...Forget the past or build for the past, something about our present, and something for the future. Or... Donna Littrell: “I’ll go look it up. Are we supposed to know this?” Kevin Ford: “Build for the future, or something like that. Nick Baker: Something for the future, isn’t it?” Shelly Olsen: “I don’t know what it is. Dream for the future. Build for tomorrow. And forget the past.” Voice Box Opinions IJA Seniors work together as a group on class night; production involves fun, work, and responsibility The values of having and continuing a senior class night have varied for years. Three different philosophies exist. One philosophy of thinking is that it is important “having a night where the seniors can show off their talent by singing, dancing, and acting,” states Shelly Olsen. Probably the most common idea is having a great and fun time practicing and performing the production of class night,” notes Janet Gray. The third value is getting together as a whole class and doing something together for the last time before graduation,” says Darla Ryan. Former KHS 1981 graduate Scott Butler recalls his senior class night as a good memory of fun times with my classmates.” In the past years rumor has existed that class night could be cancelled. This would be a mistake. It gives the seniors an opportunity to work together as a group,” notes Butler. As a senior this year who worked on class night, I had fun. The part I will Breezes Vol. 32.

Realizing that talent is not everything can be a huge part of class night. Having students available and interested is over half of what makes the class night go off the opening night. Seniors must work as a group to make this special and fun night a success. Class night involves preparation. This begins with the writing of skits at least one month in advance. This can be individually done, but as a group more ideas will come out. Responsibility plays a role during this period of time. Students are required to come and participate in practicing one to three times a week. Every one must show up to rehearse the skits. If one does not show, then it is difficult to work around that individual. Every senior has his her own individual responsibility to fulfill on opening night to make the production work to its potential. If these individual responsibilities are not met, then it lets the group down as a whole and one then loses the group unity. It is neccessary to continue this valuable production. It has been worth my time and effort to help produce such an event. -Debra Oliphant ‘Bad Boys’ shows power struggle in prison Sometimes a movie can be depressing. Bad Boys,” a story of teenagers in a reform school, is a prime example. The film stars newcomer Sean Penn in a role quite distant from his character of Spicolli in Fast Times at Ridgemont High. In this film he plays Mick O’Brian, a delinquent from Chicago who plots to steal a drug transfer between Paco Moreno’s gang and another gang. When gunfire breaks loose, O’Brian tries to escape in a car, but runs over Moreno’s younger brother, killing him. Then O’Brian is sentenced to a correctional institution where he eventually is placed in the same ward as Moreno. From there the storyline concen trates on the power struggle between the two to become the leader, similar to the role in The Lord of the Flies. The minor characters provide twists in the plot which keep interest high. The use of unknown faces and of a strong musical score sets the grim mood for the film. The final O’Brian Moreno conflict is an ex cellent climax. Although the plot is not predictable, viewers may guess several of the paths the story takes. The film has some rough language and brutal fighting, but at least the violence is not in the vein of Friday the 13th.” Bad Boys is not a happy movie, but it is a good one.

The new constitution for this organization, which unites K-Lettermen and GAA members, was approved at last week’s Student Council meeting. One reason behind forming a single club is to make more members available for activities. Jim Kuhn, K-Lettermen sponsor, states, We were running short on members. We didn’t have any real money-raisers at games this year because our members were involved in the sports.” The Coyote Pack will not feature the standard president, vice-president, and secretary-treasurer positions. Instead, its constitution establishes a seven-member council to organize and record the club’s activities. Qualifications for membership are similar to those of K-Lettermen and GAA.

Through analysis. Dale Kendall, cer tified graphoanalyst from Dodge City, finds handwriting the key to understanding personality traits. Mr. Kendall, a graduate from the Chicago International Graphoanalysts' Society, has been professionally analyzing handwriting since 1977. “This society uses a theory developed by M.N. Bunker in 1911, a man from Colby. Kansas. A Frenchman, Abbe Michon, coined the term ‘graphoanalyst in 1862, said Mr. Kendall. Mr. Kendall plans to start programs in the area to help students find the right vocation in life. My aunt is a handwriting expert, and she helped me find my vocation in life,” expresses Mr. Kendall. Mr. Kendall doesn’t just look at one particular aspect of handwriting because one trait acts on another. I have the person I want to analyze write with a pen on a piece of typing paper anything they wish. What type of pen and the margin can even tell me something about that person. From a complete analysis, I can’t determine type of religion or physical age. Handwriting does show whether a person is religious and what is his mental age. expresses Mr. Kendall. The sex of the writer can’t be determined but up to 115 basic traits show up. Whether a person has a good memory is shown through how high the ‘i’ is dotted. The higher, the worse the memory. IM Dale Kendall, certified graphoanalyst, explains a point about handwriting analysis. states Mr. Kendall. In a complete analysis, Mr. Kendall determines five global traits. Forming abstract and material ideas is one trait I look for. A person’s emotions and withdrawal are the second trait determined. Creativity, objectiveness, and rhythm show through and are mainly determined by the slant of writing.” A device helps Mr. Kendall measure average slant of handwriting. The size also intensifies the five global traits. The larger, the more intense, states Mr. Kendall. After finding out certain traits, Mr. Kendall counsels people on how changing handwriting can alter a person’s personality. Personality is a person’s reaction to situations while character is inside and never changes. Personality traits can be changed but character remains the same. That’s why some writing varies, but it is always essentially the same,” explains Mr. Kendall. Through a person’s handwriting, a graphoanalyst can unlock deep, dark secrets. An analysis may be the key to the door of a successful life. .-Breezes’ survey Graduating seniors announce future plans Senior Career interest Plans for the fall of ’83 Barbara Arnold Undecided Marriage Gary Bagby Oil business Work Nick Baker No response No response Bonnie Bell Distributive education Work Dodge City Community College Wayne Butler Computer science Baker University Pat Carroll Undecided Work Larry Craft No response No response Andy Dockendorf Auto mechanics Southwest Area Vocational School Magnus Fnglund Electronic engineer Polehnheims Technological School Kevin Ford Undecided Work Army Mark Frame Corporate engineering University of Kansas Rhonda Fredelake Accounting Hutchinson Community College Chance Fulls Construction welding Work Mark Gales Chemistry Fort Hays State University Lee Gleason Aeronautic mechanics and piloting Spartan School of Aeronautics Miriam Graff Undecided College Janet Gray Child psychology Kansas State University Maureen Herrmann Undecided College Jackie Humphries Secretarial practice College Becky Huntley Fashion merchandising Dodge City Community College Curtis Hutchison Soil science Air Force College Air Force Loretta Katz Music psychology Kansas State University Nelson Kurth Aeronautic mechanics Spartan School of Aeronautics Donna Littrell Business administration Work Kathie Maley Law psychology Fort Hays State University Peggy Marcy Undecided University of Kansas Eric Miller Undecided Emporia State University Kay Montgomery Medical records Hutchinson Community College Kary Newkirk Undecided Work Debra Oliphant Pre-medicine pediatrics Kansas State University Shelly Olsen Undecided Kansas Wesleyan Jeff Peterson Farming mechanics Work Ervin Pickering Milling Work Darla Ryan Radio television Kansas State University Shane Shanks Communications College Shawna Stegman Cosmetology Southwest Area Vocational School Donny Streit Undecided College Karla Wagner Business Kansas State University Troy Weiss Undecided Emporia State University Mark Welsch Auto mechanics Southwest Area Vocational School Lynn Werner Undecided Fort Hays State University 107A —Centerfold Eighth graders are ready for high school but fear the transition What lies ahead for the eighth graders? Will it be fun and excitement or will it be a terrifying experience? Laura Kersting, eighth grader from Offerle Middle School, sees high school as a new experience. “I'm getting tired of junior high. I’m ready for high school,” says Kersting. Kersting also has fears about coming into high school. “I’m scared of the upperclassmen and of initiation,” explains Kersting. Shawn Hicks, eighth grader at Offerle Middle School, has fears of the upperclassmen getting down on her and of initiation too. Hicks has never been initiated before and does not know what to expect. In previous years, Kinsley High School has had an initiation dance for the freshmen called the mixer; this dance is held after the fall football soap scrimmage. Scott Gleason, eighth grade Offerle Middle School student, is not for sure what high school will be like. He says, “The classes will probably be a lot harder and I will have to study more.” Gleason feels that high school will be a lot different than junior high. He explains, “In junior high you didn’t have much of a variety to choose from for your classes. In high school there are so many different classes I don’t know which ones to take.” Freshmen are required to take certain classes which consist of freshman health, physical education, and English 9. Hicks feels the classes will be harder in high school and she will have to study more. “I picked the classes I like and what my friends are taking,” says Hicks. Roger Wetzel, another eighth grader from OMS, finds it hard deciding what classes to take. “I don’t know what classes to take because I don't know what some of them are,” explains Wetzel. Wetzel does not know how much har der the classes will be but he thinks he will probably be studying more. Kersting will have an older sister in high school when she is a freshman. “This way if I get into a fight, she is there to stick up for me,” says Kersting. Cheryl, RAE E. BATT Attorney at Law Area Code 316 659-2291 Kersting’s sister, just laughs. Leann Kallaus and Stacy Ryan are the only two eighth graders coming from St. Nicholas. They both have older sisters in high school this year. Ryan says, “My sister made it sound more fun than scary,” Kallaus’ older sister gives her advice about which classes to take and which activities to join. At St. Nicholas a student stays in one classroom for classes. Offerle Middle School has the students change rooms every hour, as is done at the high school. “In junior high you didn't have much of a variety to choose from for your classes. In high school there are so many different classes I don’t know which ones to take.” -Scott Gleason “Going to school at Offerle over St. Nicholas would prepare you more for high school because you are already used National Farmers Union Insurance John Ploger, Agent to changing from one classroom to another,” explains Kallaus. “Another way that Offerle Middle School is the same as high school is that you have lockers to put your books in instead of desks. Even though Kallaus feels that Offerle Middle School prepares an eighth grader more for high school, she states, “I’m really looking foward to it.” Ryan hopes to go out for volleyball in high school. She feels that the practices may interfere with her horseback riding. At St. Nicholas we would have basket ball practice during recess, but in high school you have it after school is out, explains Ryan. Kallaus is planning on going out for volleyball. She feels it will be a lot different in high school than it was at St. Nicholas. “There will be a lot more people out and they will be better, replies Kallaus. Wetzel feels “making a lot of friends will help him to make the transition from junior high to high school.

This short rhyme may be familiar to many people from their grade school days when it would be repeated in a teasing manner. When students reach high school, marriage is no longer a laughing matter for some of them. Barbara Arnold, senior, has decided to marry Steve Habiger, 1981 Kinsley High School graduate, this summer. Mr . Kary Fisher Newkirk, senior, had her wedding last summer to Bruce Newkirk, 1982 graduate, and has continued her schooling while caring for her new son Tyson. Preparations Getting married for these two members of the class of 1983 has required a lot more than just showing up at the church. Arnold describes the counseling she and Habiger have gone through: “We went to an Engaged Encounter that started Friday night and ended Sunday evening. Kinsley Dodge City ______ Meade write about your feelings, then read them to each other. “It helps you learn more about your fiance’. I know I learned more about Steve.” Other than these counseling activities, “you have to get wedding plans organized. Finding the time to do everything is the hardest part,” notes Arnold. Mrs. Newkirk warns of another difficult area: “You have to watch the money. You dream of all these real fancy things, but when it comes down to the actual wedding, you know you can’t do those things because they cost too much.” To graduate this spring Mrs. Newkirk has had to take American government, English, and business math through correspondence to make up for the credits she missed by staying out of school the fall semester. She joined the class again the second semester, but she is still trying to finish some of her first semester correspondence courses. “It’s a pain, remarks Mrs. Newkirk. “It’s hard to make myself sit down and do the lessons. Then if you don’t understand something, there’s nobody to ask about it.” Mrs. Newkirk comments about return- ing to school: “It’s hard getting used to everything again. I wasn’t sure how the kids or the teachers would react to me, but nobody’s really said anything.” Married life For some couples adjusting to married life may be difficult, but Mrs. Newkirk has not found the change very difficult. “We still do everything about the same, notes Mrs. Newkirk, “except we don’t have as much time to go running around. If we want to do something, we have to make arrangements. We can’t just get up and go. The couple shares the housework duties. Mrs. Newkirk states, Bruce helps a lot. He’s been stuck here quite a few times without me.” However, in marriage, even simple chores like shopping may become complicated. We always want different items, comments Mrs. Newkirk. Both Arnold and Mrs. Newkirk point to love as their reason for getting married. Arnold explains, I know I don’t want to go to college. I’m not using that as an excuse to get married though. I really want to get married.” Marriage should not be joked about as Mrs. Newkirk advises: If you’re going to get married and have a baby, make sure it’s going to last. Make sure you really love the person.” What’s your score? Every week, the Potpourri awards a six-pack of pop the person with the best score on each video game.

Glory to God Feature s109A Seven-period day for next school term has two main reasons Kinsley High School students will have the opportunity of having a seven-period day for next year’s school term. Society is changing faster, and so that means that educational skills have to be refined, states Miss Nadine Stallard, guidance counselor. Next year the students will take seven classes instead of six. There are two main reasons for wanting a seven-period day, explains Dana Handel, principal. “It gives a schedule with more flexibility to offer more classes and this in turn will help the students better prepare themselves for their lives after high school.” Many of the students have good responses to the seven-period day. “The seven-period day is a really good idea. Now I can take more classes that I want instead of just taking mostly required ones, states Jamie Balman, sophomore. It’s not that I want more homework to do, but I like having the chance to take more of the classes I think are fun.” “The seven-period day will help the students get in both their required and elective classes, explains Handel. KHS students recently completed a preliminary enrollment schedule for the 1983-84 school year. Here each student devised a personal enrollment schedule based upon 83 class offerings. Some of the offerings, besides the traditional required and elective courses, included officiating, group piano, and powder puff mechanics. Officiating is a coed class. The goal of this class is to become familiar enough with the rules of different games to officiate at least an intramural or a recreational program. Group piano is open to students in all four grades. This class offers the student who has an interest in playing the piano a chance to learn. No previous experience is needed. Powder puff mechanics is open to all females in grades 11 and 12. This is an auto maintenance course for women. With these pre-enrollment schedules, the administration is now devising a seven-period schedule which will allow a student to take the majority of the classes he she wants or needs. Next year’s lower enrollment will make this task challenging, notes Miss Stallard. “The freshman class is quite small for next year compared to that of previous years.” Based upon preliminary enrollment figures, right now there is an increased enrollment in computer classes and a decrease in a lot of the business classes,” explains Miss Stallard. Also there seems to be an increase in industrial art classes. Miss Stallard has found that students are leaning toward classes that involve less homework and areas that they need for the future. This change she believes is mostly the result of many of the students having already taken most all ol their required classes. The National Commission of Excellence in Education recently recommended a crackdown on disruptive students, setting higher college admission standards, and toughening high school requirements in math, science, and English. For KHS the Board of Education requires 22 units of credit for graduation. Classes that are required are these: four units of English, two units of mathematics, two units of science, one unit of American history, one unit of American government, V unit of speech, and one unit of physical education health. “I foresee in the future the students having to complete so many semesters to graduate regardless of how many credits they may have received, comments Miss Stallard. Each class for next year will be around 52 minutes long. A school day will last from 8:20 a.m. to approximately 3:15 p.m. Randi Arensman, junior, completes her enrollment form for the 1983-1984 school year. During May, high school students met with advisors to choose next year’s classes. WE’RE SERIOUS ABOUT YOUR EDUCATION FOR INFORMATION ON Enrolling. . .4 yr.

Kinsley High School golfer, keeps on putting. KHS golfers have had to deal with all kinds of unpredictable Kansas weather this season. “We had only two nice days, says Gleason, “at Ashland and at Kinsley. Those days weren’t perfect because of the wind. The unfavorable weather conditions have not only hindered team performances, but have also made regular practices nearly impossible. Coach Don Stuart states, Up until last week we played in more tournaments than we did practicing.” Gleason has been in the golf program all four years of high school. “I went out for golf because it’s fun and I like the challenge. Also, I don’t like track, says Gleason. ------------Techniques---------------- Gleason feels golf is the most difficult game in high school. “Golf doesn’t look hard, but it takes a lot of practice and technique, states Gleason. Gleason follows a four-step procedure when shooting golf; (1) place the inside left heel in line with the ball; (2) place the club flat on the ground; (3) firmly grip the club; (4) make a smooth swing. Gleason comments, “The swing should be smooth and easy. I need to work on this aspect of my form. Each individual has varying techniques as well as different club preferences. Two basic types of clubs exist woods and irons. The three most popular woods are the driver, the 3-wood, and the 4-wood. Irons range from the 2-iron to the 10-iron. When little slope exists and a long distance is required, a 2-iron is most ef- fective. As the number of the iron increases, the slope increases while the distance decreases. For example, when a big slope exists and a short distance is required, a 10-iron will work the best. However, the iron used depends on the strength of the individual. Gleason explains, When I golf with Mom. she sometimes uses a driver and I use a wedge. Lee Gleason, KHS golfer, demonstrates proper golfing stance and technique. Gleason’s best year was last year. “My form was at it s peak and I really practiced a lot the summer before. I didn’t get to practice much last summer, and I feel this really hurt my game,” Gleason explains. Kinsley % TnmVaM (coop NATION’S LARGEST HARDWARE CHAIN ...

When I was a freshman. I hit Mike Ryan in the eye with a ball, remembers Gleason. They rushed him to the hospital. He had to wear a patch over his eye for a while. ------------Practices------------------- In order to be a good golfer, much practice is required. Since golf season is only two months long, golfers must prac tice during the summer. Coach Stuart states, “I can’t make golfers out of the guys unless they prac tice in the summer on their own. In golf, unlike most other sports, the varsity team may change from meet to meet. “Before every meet, we play a qualifying game to choose six varsity players, explains Coach Stuart. In the Kinsley Invitational. May 3, KHS golf team placed fifth. Magnus Englund and Lee Gleason had low scores on the team with scores of 87 and 88 respectively. Both golfers improved their scores the next day in practice. “Golf is a mental game, says Coach Stuart. The players have to make up their minds to do well. Players under pressure tend to have higher scores than those playing for pleasure. Players must learn to form positive mental attitudes in order to achieve a lower score. Last Monday the golf team of Lee Gleason. Magnus Englund. Larry Craft, Jerry Springer, Jim Bowman, and Shane Miller competed in the regional golf meet at Lyons. Magnus Englund. who tied for fifth, is the only member of the team to advance to the state meet next Monday. Bev’s Bowl Kinsley, Ks.

But two classes at Kinsley High School attempted to bring students closer to the world of buying and selling stocks by participating in Kansas State University’s stock market game, which began in February. Students in the general business and economics classes formed two teams which simulated the real market by investing a hypothetical $100,000 in shares on the New York and the American Stock Exchanges. These teams competed with nearly 400 other teams from grade schools, high schools, and colleges in the Midwest. For ten weeks the students traded their shares each day based on the previous day’s closing prices in the newspaper. John Davis, business teacher, explains the contest’s procedure. After you choose what to buy or sell, you have to punch an IBM card to indicate the number of shares to trade, the name of the company, and the team number. You get the card postmarked and mail it today-but you won’t know tomorrow’s prices.” Over the springtime competition period, the two KHS teams each dealt with the market differently. The general business classes as one team “really played” the market, eventually finishing with $112,000, winning a second place trophy in the Hays regional, and ranking twenty-ninth on the state level. Team captain LuAnn Poer explains their basic strategy: “We bought when they were cheap. We’d get them when they were down a little and would hope they’d go up. This strategy was successful in buying shares in Adams Resources, an oil and chemical company. The general business classes originally purchased 2,000 shares at 2 5 8 points. (A point represents $1 a share). Then the value dropped to 2 1 4. The team gambled and bought 2,000 more shares, hoping to break even. When the value fell to only 1 7 8, the team gam bled farther and purchased 5,000 more shares. In time, the gamble paid off when the stocks jumped to 2 7 8. However, the profits from the Adams’ stock were reduced by brokers’ fees, 2 percent of the value each time stocks are bought and sold. With the Adams’s stocks, we had to pay 19.32. 52. 67. 70. 92. 57A, 69A. 89 A. 90A, 96 A, 105A. 110A Butler, Scott 6. 103 A Brake, Joe 68.89A, 105 A 19. 54. 62.

The value of shares in Baldwin United, the piano company, plunged from $60 a share to $9. We really lost our shirt on that deal,” says Mr. Davis. The IBM cards also added surprises to the contest. In one instance, the card was accidentally punched incorrectly. Poer says, Mr. Davis punched a wrong hole and the computer wouldn’t take it. Then the stocks went up! Another mis-punched card purchased unwanted stocks. We ended up buying into Mutual of New York Insurance when we thought we were buying into a gold mine. But we made almost $6,000, notes Mr. Davis. The team representing the economics class finished the | contest with almost $102,000 after more conservative trading. We’d follow a few stocks,” says Mark Gales, team mem ber,” to see if they were moving upward or downward. Then we’d buy or sell with group consent-each person in class had one vote.” The team’s biggest loss came from investing in Mattel when the 3,000 shares dropped three points. The purchase that made the most profit was in Pepsico, earning $2,400. While the business classes paid back a lot of this profit, the bn kers’ fees for the economics class were relatively limited. We didn’t do a lot of trading. We never had anything that really went up, explains Gales. If he had a chance to start again, would Gales change his team’s strategy? We should have played the market more fully. For exam pie, we didn’t ‘short sell. ’ (“Short selling involves selling shares when their value is high and hoping they’ll drop to allow a person to buy back into those stocks.) Mr. Davis feels the contest was a learning device for the students. “They got an idea of how stock prices change and the money that is involved. They know that you can lose money really quickly.” Poer says, There’s a lot more to the stock market than people think.

If it’s so early that the D.J.’s aren t even up, it’ too early. “Buzzzz.. I’m sure glad they invented snooze alarms. It took a real genius to figure out that what the world needed was a little button on their alarms to push so they could sleep longer. I wonder if the guy honestly had good intentions or if he gets 50 percent of the money from bosses when their employees are late. He probably is an extremely devious man. I can see him now rubbing his hands together and talking to his dog: “Ha. ha, it’s a great plan, Killer! All those poor students out there who have to get up the second their alarms go off at 7 a.m.. I will help them. I’ll invent a little button they can push to shut the alarm off for ten minutes. Ha, ha, of course, that means they will have to set their alarm for 6:30 so they will be up by 7. What, Killer? Yes, Killer, I am a genius.’’ He probably ... “Buzzz.. I wonder what time it is. Maybe I should roll over and look. No, because then I would lose my warm spot. I know I should have bought one of those alarm clocks that shines the time on the ceiling. Then I wouldn’t have to turn as much of my body to see. I wonder ... “Good morning all you early morning risers out there. It is 6 o’clock, and I have ...” “Buzzzz.. I hate this clock. True, it is better than the last one I had. I don’t think I will ever forget the day my other alarm clock didn’t go off on time. I was supposed to be at the school by 5 a.m. to leave for a debate tournament. I remember dreaming that someone was pushing the doorbell. Then all of a sudden I realized the noise wasn’t coming from my dream — it was coming from my alarm. One look at the clock was enough to tell me that it was already past 5.1 quickly got dressed and ran out the door just as the school van pulled up in front of my house. They were tired of waiting for me and came by to pick me up. Later on that day I realized that I had a run in my hose from the struggle with them earlier that morning. However, I was more concerned with discovering the object that smelled like old goldfish water ... “Buzzzz...” I knew it couldn’t be me because I could still get a whiff every now and then of the Avon special perfume I had generously applied. I could also remember using my underarm deodorant. Besides, I had the white patches on the bottom of my dress to show I had put my dress on before the deodorant had dried. By the end of the day I was pretty sick of smelling goldfish every time I turned my head. To my horror the smell stuck with me even after I got home. Disgusted, I finally started getting ready for bed. It wasn’t until I was staring at myself in the bathroom mirror and watching the toothpaste froth bubbles out of my mouth that I remembered my toothbrush had not been used earlier that day. With a nauseous feeling growing in my stomach, I realized what the goldfish smell had been. Boy, was I sick Monday morning when someone left a box of Dentyne gum in my locker. That’s when I got rid of my old clock and bought this one with a lot of neat functions — snooze alarm, wake to music, wake to music and alarm, and a plug in so I can start heating my curling iron when the alarm goes off... “Buzzzz...” My curling iron! I left it on top of my lipstick. I better get up and move it. Aggh! I burned my hand! Great! Not only do I have a huge blister on my finger, but I also have lipstick running all over my dresser. I wonder why I set my dumb alarm so early anyway. I bet Joey was in her playing with it. He probably messed it up so my alarm went off early. “Buzzzz.. “Ringggg ... ringggg ... ringggg ...’’ That’s the phone. I better answer it before it wakes everyone up. “Hello.’’ “Trina, what are you doing?!” “What do you mean?” “We were supposed to leave for a forensic meet at 6:15. Where are you?” Oh, I forgot! Look, you guys, come by my house, and I’ll be ready in ten minutes.” OK, you better be — or we’ll leave you. Good-bye.” “Good-bye.” Oh no, here we go again!
