Kinsley High School Kinsley, Kansas U.S.D. No. 347 Volume 45 Academics p. 25 Activities and organizations Page 37 Sports Page 63 Ads Page 81 Check out the home of the Coyotes Students, faculty, and administration cruised through the 1986-1987 school year, reving up the spirit and the enthusiasm of the entire Coyote Empire. Listening to the Coyotes howl and roar during pep assemblies shows how much ‘Alma Mater’ Sing praises to the red and white, Our colors fair to see. Come rally ‘round her standard strong, It leads to victory. Ne love our high school, Kinsley High; We'll fight for her fair name; We'll guard her honor, glorious school And long shall last her fame. Sing of the truth, of loyalty, Thy spirit ever guides. Our hearts and hands we raise to thee. Thy truth with us abides. As time rolls on, we pledge to thee, That we shall e'er be true. We'll fight for truth, we'll fight for right; We pledge our hearts to you. -Denton Rosell, 1943 spirit and enthusiasm the students have toward “The Danger Zone,” the zone of the present. Heading into the twilight, the Coyotes spread out their wings in athletics. Activities and organizations have the Coyotes jumping off the deck and going into overdrive. You’ll never know what you can do until you get up as high as you can go in academics. Underclassmen are out along the edges, not knowing what awaits them. They want to learn and be a part of the zone. They take the ride into the center of “The Danger Zone.” Seniors tune into the future by getting ready for “The Danger Zone,” the zone of the future. You can only go as far as you will imagine or as far you let your mind wander. £ Check out the Coyotes...

L Employment helps students Every morning students wake up to go to school, but what happens after school is out? Does every student go home? NO! Does every student cruise the lap? NO! Several students have part-time jobs to keep their time occupied, to keep their cars running, and to have money to spend. Laura Kersting, senior, stated, “When I applied at Mr. Squeaky’s, I wanted to earn money.” Kersting also added, “I enjoy my job because my bosses, Vivian and Carroll Williams, are super. Mr. and Mrs. Williams are very understanding, and if I every have any problems with the schedule, they work with me so that I can work the problems out.” Employment plays a very big role for many high school students. Chad Hutchison, junior, stated, “I applied at Denny’s Jack and Jill, Dennis Friesen-owner, my freshman year, and I got the job.” Hutchison also added, “I do like working for Mr. Friesen because he teaches you responsibility.” Employment helps students prepare for the real world.

Bessie Hammons, junior, listens to music for an afterschool hobby. “Listening to music is my favorite thing to do,” said Hammons. “I even listen to music when I sleep at night. “When I lived in Montana, I used to ride horses. We rode horses instead of riding around, said Hammons. “But we did ride around in cars also.” Hammons has mftny hobbies that other teenagers have. Some are unique to her. “I like to color in color books,” said Hammons. “I love to draw some of the pictures that I color. “I also have this game that I like to play,” said Hammons. “It’s called Shazam. I put a towel around my neck like superman and run around the house. Chris Oess, a freshman, has several hobbies. “When I get home everyday after school, I do homework,” said Oess. “Then I watch television or listen to music.” On nice days, Oess either messes around town, or “digs out the metal detector. “A person can find a lot of interesting things like coins,” said Oess. Oess works at the Offerle Cafe for some extra money to spend. He also likes to hunt. “Hunting is a fun sport and I enjoy it a lot.” Oess explains what he does when there is nothing to do. “When there is nothing on television, I’ll go to my room and play darts, stated Oess, “or I go riding around with my friends.” Once in a while Oess goes to a youth rally. “It’s a good way to meet new and different friends.” Left: Brad Scott show the lighter side of himself while Mindy Kerns looks on.

Freshmen adapt well Entering high school brings many changes. An individual must adapt to these changes in order to become a part of the school. Two members of the class of 1990, Tonya Spong and Melissa Laufenberg, adapted well. One of the changes Spong and Laufenberg adapted to was having lockers with combination locks. “It took a lot of time at first, said Spong, “but now there’s nothing to it. Laufenberg added, “There aren’t locks on the lockers in the junior high, so it took a while to learn the combinations.” Spong explained that meeting new people was one of the reasons she liked being in high school. Another reason, she was a cheerleader. “Being a high school cheerleader is different from being a junior high cheerleader,” Spong explained. “There are more games to cheer for and it’s hard to get homework done, but it’s worth it because it’s fun.” Laufenberg’s favorite activity was band in which she played a trumpet. The highlight of her year was the band’s trip to Hutchinson where they played at a Hutchinson Community College home basketball game. These freshmen have begun adapting to high school well. As they continue their four-year climb, they will encounter several additional changes, but the initial changes of being a freshman are gone.

Involved with the pep band as well as the community band, Liberty plays the snare drums, the bass drums, the tim-toms, the high-hots, the crash cymbols, as well as the suspended cymbols. “I became interested in percussion when I was in grade school,” said Liberty. “My brother was in high school then, and I came with him one night to a basketball game. I saw Miriam Graff playing the drums, and I thought that what she was doing was neat.” As the drum player, Liberty provides the beat for the band. “It takes concentration,” said Liberty. “If you take the beat away, the band won’t do well. In fact, the band will probably quit playing. “How do you know when you’ve got the right beat? You feel it,” said Liberty. Flaying the percussion instruments has made Liberty aware of several points. “I’ve learned how to get along with other people, said Liberty. “And I’ve learned how important it is to have the right beat.

This is the year where the juniors get their class rings and go to the prom without having to have a date. But on the other hand it means more work, work like making money for the prom by selling magazines and working the concession stands. Stephanie Burkhart replied, “Operating concessions was a good idea. It helps raise a lot of money. I had fun doing the projects. I learned about people by what they purchased. I also had the chance to meet more people.” Class rings can be expensive, and getting the money to pay for the ring may not be easy. “I worked at my job,” said Jack Wilson. “I like my ring but I don’t wear it.” Working hard doesn’t mean working up to something that is fun. It can mean working to make a good grade in classes such as American History. “I think American History is an interesting class,” explained Tina Schinstock. “I do have harder classes than I have before. After the junior class reach their goal for this year, they have to look forward to accomplishing another goal for next year and that is being a senior.

For Rodriguez, school is the most enjoyable part of living in America. Rodriguez said, “In Spain, we don’t have fun in school. There are no sports or cheerleaders. We just study.” It is important that Rodriguez graduates from an American high school. “If I don’t graduate here, I won’t be able to graduate in Spain. I have to pass everything here so I can go to college, said Rodriguez. Rodriguez has made several friends in America. “In most countries, some people wouldn't want to have a friend for a year, but here people talk to me, and I have a lot of friends,” said Rodriguez.

I’m interested in seeing students succeed, in seeing that they do well. That’s why we are here.” For his first year at KHS, Mr. Gailey stressed communication not only between his office and the students but also between the students and the faculty. “Communication is a two-way street,” said Mr. Gailey. “I know that if I dictate from above, the results at the bottom will be poor. I believe in the outward spiral approach . . . where I will test an idea with selected students or faculty members. If the idea has merit and these people agree, then others will soon pick up on and support the idea. The idea has then gained momentum.” “Leadership has been successful,” said Mr. Gailey, “when the faculty member or the student Lonn Poage • Superintendent of Schools can function independently; he has learned to accept responsibility for himself.” This awareness comes at different times for the individuals involved. “We can become so connected with the school that we may never see the final product-but we do get to watch some students grow and develop into responsible adults. A high school diploma doesn’t guarantee that one automatically becomes an adult,” said Mr. Gailey. “But if, somewhere, that individual learns to feel a sense of satisfaction in doing a project well, if he learns to accept responsibility, if he learns to communicate openly and effectively with others,” Mr. Gailey said, “then we like to think that the school has played a vital role in that individual’s development. “This is the factor, said Mr. Galley, “that makes my job seem so worthwhile.” David Gailey High School Principal “School board membership is the highest form of public service. It should be sought, not shunned; revered, not reviled. The local board is the only means through which the community expresses itself in respect to education. “Board members are the interpreters and translators of need and demand. They mediate between and among conflicting interests. They sort out contending values, and they initiate and enact policies to govern locally.” -Taken from “The School Boards,” November 1986 edition of “Strengthening Grass Roots Leadership.” Eula Westphal - Clerk Board of Education; Back; Richard Wenstrom.

Teaching school demands a lot of a person’s time. Add to this being a class sponsor, a mother, and a wife and the amount of time demanded from a person is increased considerably. Carol Streit, home economics instructor, finds it difficult to do all the things demanded of her but explains that she finds the time because her career ties in with what she does at home. “Home economics is something we live and that's why I chose this profession,” said Mrs. Streit. “I also like it because I have the same schedule as my family. An example is vacation days. I’m out when they’re out,” she added. Mrs. Streit was one of this year’s junior class sponsors. One of the many responsibilities was running the concession stand during athletic events. “Being a class sponsor is very time consuming,” stated Mrs. Streit. “It’s fun to work with the students as long as they are willing to do their share,” added Mrs. Streit. I like what I do,” stated Mrs. Streit. I just wish I had more time to do it.” Larry Korf Jim Rahtjen Gene Schinstock David Smith Nadine Stallard Carol Streit Don Stuart Community pulls together------ for benefit Scott Mucklow, junior, and Terry Bernatzki, 1984 graduate, were both injured in a car accident December 20,1987. Mucklow and Bernatzki were taken to St. Francis Medical Center, Wichita, where they both received emergency care. Mucklow suffered multiple injuries and remained under hospital care for several months afterwards for therapy. From January 30 to February 1, 1987, a coed volleyball tournament was held at KHS to help aid both families in meeting medical expenses. “I think everyone enjoyed the tournament,” said Tina Schinstock, junior. “And since it was for a good cause, that made it even more enjoyable.” Barbara Habiger, Kinsley, organized the volleyball tournament and Student Council operated the concession stand.

Mrs. Whipple joins staff A new face appeared in the custodial staff this year. Barbara Whipple was transferred from the Offerle Middle School to KHS. Brian Sparke was transferred to Southside from KHS. “It will be a new challenge working in the high school,” said Mrs. Whipple. “I will miss the younger students, but I now look forward to working with the high school students. “The responsibilities are the same. I guess they needed me to put on a woman’s touch,” remarked Mrs. Whipple. “I enjoy working with Jasper.” M rs. Whipple described the attitude of the high school students. “As a whole, the students take respect for the buildings. That makes my job easier. Above right: Cooks: Glessna King, Sandy Kerns.

Middle: Mr. Graff works with a computer. Above: Scott Anderson and Rob Meeks watch Mr. Graff work a problem. Above: Mr. Graff checks for the right answer. Math and science are two classes which demand time, patience, and skill. A student learns these characteristics in each of these areas of class work. With science, the classes explain how the world evolved and how life came about. Science gives people an understanding of what makes up molecules, atoms, and other parts that must exist for any form of life to exist. “The main thing I would like to see -the students learn through my classes is a basic fundamental understanding of how life works in its many forms,” stated David Smith, science teacher. Science teaches people to explore and wonder “what if” a person didn’t know this and what would happen to mankind if these facts were not known. Math, on the other hand, has set ways of doing certain problems. Math has an answer, the right answer. This answer is found through work, time, and practice, along with patience. Skills in math and science are alike in many ways. A student must want to find an answer and go after the answer by working that problem. “Algebra II is a class where I must work out a problem, and then I find out that there is sometimes more than one answer to the problem. “This class takes a lot of patience because a problem doesn’t always work out right the first time,” stated Shawn Hicks, senior. Algebra II focuses on solving many types of problems; a student must use different methods to work out a problem. “Sometimes a problem may seem difficult at' first but when you use many different formulas to work a problem, you finally get the hang of it,” said Rachel Lightcap, junior.

Don Stuart, social science teacher, teaches a class called “The World Today.” “The whole class is my invention,” said Mr. Stuart. Nadine Stallard, counselor, explained a need for the class. “We needed a class that would give the students a handle on society today,” said Miss Stallard. “Students need to know political, scientific, cultural ideas and entertainment throughout the world. There are no books for this class. “I take the materials from ‘Time’ magazine and some from ‘Newsweek,’” said Mr. Stuart. “‘Time’ is the better magazine.” “I ktfew I wanted to use a national magazine for the class,” he said, “and ‘Time’ seemed the best for the job. It has a lot of pictures and covers a lot of areas but not in a lot of detail. It gets to the point.” Why not use textbooks? “You use a magazine because it is up-to-date, and no textbook can do that,” Miss Stallard replied. The class is for students who are interested in all aspects of the world. “This class is probably for the student who is interested in history, diplomacy, foreign affairs, economics, as well as the lighter side of entertainment,” Miss Stallard noted. The goal is to improve the students' understanding and knowledge of the world. Top: Mr. Stuart observes Jena Velhar-ticky as Lance Ramsay works on his assignment. Bottom: Brad Scott.

While they were there, they saw other bands perform and also spent their time riding rides and playing games. The money that they needed come partially from selling pizza for Romano's Pizza. Students took orders for the pizza beforehand and then the band members delivered them. For each pizza the band members sold, the band received a share of the money. Another fund raising event was the band bingo. The band members sold food, worked the pop toss, the coin toss, and the cake walk. The first day of their trip, they left at 9 a.m. When they got to Kansas City, the band members went to the Bannister Mall and shopped for a couple of hours. Saturday they spent all day at Worlds of Fun. Sunday the band performed, and watched other bands perform also. “At first when we listened to the other bands perform, it was boring. But after awhile, it was fun, said Christopher Eisele, freshman. “The whole trip was fun!” Vocal: CPL Regional State Girls’ Ensemble - III .

Marching choir joins band Almost every school has a marching pep band, but not every school has a marching choir. This year at one of the football games, the choir went out on the football field and marched with the band. The choir made pinwheels and circles, and at the end of the show a big K-0 was made with the choir and pep band members. “I’ve never done marching before,” said Jessica Holtenman, junior. “It was unusual for the choir to be marching with the band.” Top: Heath Smith.

Top right: Russell Wetzel works on his scroll project. Many students find practical arts appealing. Julie Sehaller, sophomore, finds Home Economics I an interesting practical art class. “Home Economics I is a cooking and sewing class. Since I came in at the semester I have only sewn,” said Sehaller. Sehaller continued, “I really enjoy sewing. At first I wasn’t sure I would, but now I like it.” Together the class is learning the basic fundamentals in sewing. “Once we get started sewing, everyone pretty much does their own thing,” said Sehaller. Sehaller thinks Mrs. Streit is a good teacher. “She knows what she is doing when I don't. She helps me a lot,” commented Sehaller. Schaller’s main goal is to “get the basic knowledge of sewing out of the class so if I ever want to make something on my own, I will at least be able to try.” English, speech benefit the student Speech and English are two classes that are required to graduate. What does one benefit from taking speech? “I learned to talk in front of people, said junior Michelle Hicks. Wendy Quisenberry replied, I learned to stand in front of people and talk. I don’t care for it when people stare at me. “In speech class we learned to play the game ‘Up Words,”’ said Quisenberry. “I’m glad the class only lasts a half of a semester.” Tanya Newcome, a senior, is in 12th grade English. “What I want to benefit from English 12 is for it to help me through college. “This year we read ‘Romeo and Juliet,’” said Newcome. “We also participated in the Masonic Lodge essay contest. I had to do a lot of research for it, but I came out in the top two.” Poetry and essays were other literary styles studied. “I thought the essays were easier than poetry,” said Newcome.

The crowning of the king, Brad Scott, and the queen, Valerie Olsen, as the homecoming royalty occurred before the game. Following the assembly students formed a parade with floats from each class that ended in downtown Kinsley. At the end of the parade students crowned mockhomecoming royalty, Queen Ravishing Roger and King Anxious Annie-usually known as Roger Wetzel and Annie Liberty. “This is the first year that I can remember that all the king candidates were out for football,” stated Karl Hetzel, one of the homecoming candidates. Scott found the day memorable: “Homecoming has been a dream of mine since I was a little kid. I used to go to the games and watch the older kids win and cheer and have a great time,” stated Scott. “Winning the football game was a big thrill for all of us,” said Scott, “as that was the first win of a homecoming game in five years.” Olsen agreed on the memorable homecoming. “Homecoming was a fun and exciting event. The suspense of who would become the homecoming royalty builds up until the announcing of the names,” stated Olsen. Top left: Homecoming royalty poses after the crowning of the king and queen.

It was directed by James Rahtjen with assistance from Kathy Rahtjen. Lead roles were Harold Hill, portrayed by Brad Scott, and Marian Paroo, portrayed by Julie Schaller. “The Music Man” is about a man that is a cheater, Her, and a swindler-Harold Hill. Hill goes from town to town, selling band uniforms and instruments, then leaves without teaching the children how to play. Hill moves to a small town in Iowa but this time it’s different. He falls in love with Marian and stays to teach the children. Mr. Rahtjen commented about the musical: “It was difficult music, but the students met the challenge.” Scott added by saying it was tough to make all the rehearsals two hours three nights a week and attend other school functions. “I personally feel that the musical was a great experience. It allowed an opportunity for several students to work together,” said Schaller. Many students got involved with the musical. “I really enjoyed being involved with other people. I think that everyone should have the chance to participate somehow in a musical program,” said Schaller. Above: Lead characters. Back: Darrin Wire, Leann Kallaus, Rob Meeks, Jon Maack, Brad Scott.

Pep club rocks Jessica Holtenman, junior foreign exchange student from Sweden, said, “I joined pep club because other students said I would enjoy it and I did.” Holtenman said, “It was a fun experience for me because in Sweden we don’t have sports in school, so we don't have pep club or any organizations like Kinsley does. “Being able to sit in a certain section at games with a crowd, cheering the Coyotes on helped me make more friends and helped me know my friends better,” commented Holtenman. “In Sweden we don’t have cheerleaders as well as pep club. I liked the way we had people out in front of the crowd leading us in cheers,” said Holtenman. Top right: KHS cheerleaders par ticipate at the Barton County Community College cheerleading camp.

Cheerleading involves effort “Being a cheerleader is more than what it seems,” said Misty Myers, sophomore. During the summer KHS cheerleaders attend cheerleading camp. “At cheerleading camp we are taught new cheers, chants, and stunts,” said Myers. Cheerleaders are required to attend summer practices since cheerleading takes a lot of hard work and determination. “Camp teaches you more than just cheers and chants; it teaches you how to make new friends, helps build self-confidence, and helps to set goals and accomplish those goals,” commented Myers. A cheerleader’s job is to encourage, support, and set examples by being a leader. “After being a cheerleader for two years in high school, I don’t consider myself as a shy person. I feel I could do almost anything without being embarrassed,” said Myers. Myers continued, “When you’re out there on the field or in the court cheering for basketball, volleyball, football, and wrestling, you're out there representing your school as well as the other athletes.” Top left: Wrestling cheerleaders (top to bottom) Janell Eastman, and Misty Myers.

One of her highlights was attending the summer Stuco conference. Heacock stated, “When I first went to camp I was scared. I didn't know anybody.” She continued, “One of the senior counselors said that in a week's time we would fall in love with 435 people, and surprisingly enough, I did.” “The days were long and filled with many activities,” continued Heacock. Heacock said, “We were divided into 16 different councils. The people in your councils were the ones you got close to, besides the junior counselors and the senior counselors.” The councils were basically the setting up of a government for the school system. “We elected a president, a secretary-treasurer, and a vice president for the council, said Heacock. “We were given certain problems the school had, and we had to figure how to solve them.” One of the activities the individual councils had was to organize a school, to select school colors, to develop a motto, and to select a mascot and school name. Heacock said, “We had morning and evening assemblies in which they taught us leadership. We also did fun activities.” Heacock continued, “I never imagined I would ever see 435 people standing around singing stupid songs. That’s what was so special about it.” Seniors express their roles Top left: Steven Domme looks for advice on life with a small smirk of surprise.

Middle right: Karl Hetzel, number 78, pleads innocent to the penalty in which he did commit. Right: Mindy Kerns and Annie Liberty get caught by the camera. This year’s seniors are going to be remembered for their different personalities and attitudes. Almost every senior played two or more roles in high school. Everyone has a way of acting in different situations. Darren Wire participated in many high school plays and played a role that usually required a different attitude. “In ‘The Music Man,’ I had to act as a serious man in a comic form, stated Wire. Changing roles is common for everyone in high school. A student must change from a young adult into an adult within four years. In those four years everyone will have his proud moments to the most embarrassing moments, some seniors more embarrassed than others. During mock-homecoming, I was rather embarrassed at first but after I got out there, it all turned into a big joke that made me more comfortable,” stated Roger Wetzel.

Midwinter was almost over without even beginning. Since Coyote Pack was no longer, an organization which had traditionally put on midwinter, some other organization had to put on the event. Kayettes and Student Council decided to plan and organize midwinter, with the theme “Midwinter 1987,” .“Midwinter showed that when we all pull together we can ac- complish something,” said Mindy Kerns. Laura Kersting and Rick Stegman were chosen as midwinter royalty and were crowned between the varsity games. Along with the crowning, another memorable event happened; Kinsley won all three games played against Stafford. “It was great winning because it was the first win of the season, and it couldn’t have happened at a better time,” said Rachel Lightcap. To close the evening a dance was held for the student body.

In addition to students being selected on the basis of character, leadership, and service, they must maintain a 3.0 GPA and take courses from a “core” curriculum. “This ensures that each member has a balanced high school program,” stated Miss Nadine Stallard, NHS sponsor. Also, this year a five-member council of faculty members was established to give the final approval of the students elected. “This ensures that the qualities of leadership, scholarship, service and good character have been displayed,” stated Miss Stallard.

Football is one of the most competitive sports to play. A person is constantly trying to overcome someone else in order to get something done. This year the football team overcame some of the obstacles and players in order to end the season with four wins and five losses. “This has been a building year for confidence and ability,” said Eugene Flax, head football coach. “Having only five seniors out for football meant having the underclassmen come up and fill the other positions on the field,” added Flax. Three of the senior players received honors this season. Making the Central Prairie League first team were Brad Scott and Karl Hetzel while Darren Wire received honorable mention. Another honor that two of the seniors made which is an honor in. itself is making the class IIA Southwest “All State.” The two seniors were Brad Scott for linebacker and Karl Hetzel for defensive end. The junior varsity team was able to complete a perfect season with a record of eight wins and no losses. This record indicates improvement for the future and helps build confidence for next year since almost all players will be returning except for the five seniors. “The season was a success for overall improvement of players and teamwork, stated Karl Hetzel, senior.

The women that participate in this sport are prepared to sacrafice their extra time. Volleyball this year demanded from one to two hours after school. With this factor involved the athletes learned to budget their time wisely. “Not very many of my classes required homework and my boss was willing to work around my schedule; all I had to do was just ask,’’ stated Laura Kersting. As any sport, players make and strive for a goal. Volleyball is a sport where players learn and gain. “I learned that if I strived, worked hard and still had fun, I could accomplish the techniques of volleyball,” said Karen Gleason. For the participating seniors who played four years, they learned about teamwork and cooperation. Even though they had three different coaches in four years, the squad continued to have a good time. “Volleyball has been tough with different coaches, but we all managed well. Besides, volleyball gave me the opportunity to be with my friends more often. It also let me have the chance to compete against other teams,” stated Leann Kallaus. Not only does volleyball give a chance for women to participate, but it also gives parents an opportunity to watch their children play. Volleyball also provides a chance for the squad to support one another on and off the court. The team was able to take pride in each other during the season. Pride and courage will make any team a better team. Top: Back: John Davis-assistant coach, Brenda Westhoff, Amy Kline, Rachel Lightcap, Stephanie Burkhart. Amaya Roderiguez.

Basketball was a high-speed, all-out run and gun, set up and go-type of sport for the Coyote squad this year. “This year has been a good year for getting experience and for learning new ways for the team members,” stated Gene Flax, head coach. A year of ups and downs is a good way of explaining what happened all year for the Coyote squad. “Speaking from experience, all three of the seniors have been a part of a very successful team and this year we could have gone a lot farther, but things just didn’t go our way,” stated Karl Hetzel, senior player. The Coyotes ended the season with an upset by St. John. “I was very surprised that we lost to St. John. The first two games we played against them it was quite easy when we worked at it. It turned out to be a big upset for all of us to end a season like this,” stated Brad Scott, senior player. The Coyotes had good success in other tournament action. The Coyotes received a second place in the Lamed Invitational Tournament and a second-place finish at the St. John Midwinter Classic. The season will certainly be remembered. “This team proved to have good character in that they never quit when things got tough. They tried harder and got things done,” stated Mr. Flax.

The lady Coyotes had six letter-women returning, four of whom were seniors: Laura Kersting, Valerie Olsen, Kathy Heacock, and Stacey Ryan. Kersting and Olsen have participated in basketball all four of their high school years. “I’ll miss the sport a lot because it gave me a chance to be active in school,” stated Olsen. “It enables you to be aggressive and work out your frustrations,” added Kersting. The highpoint of the season came Friday, February 6, 1987 when the lady Coyotes defeated Stafford for their first win of the season. It was also the first time in several years the girls’ team won their midwinter game. Other highlights included receiving new uniforms and warm-up outfits.

The lady Coyotes will remember this season as extraordinary even though their record wasn’t extraordinary. They will remember the fun times they had on and off the court. A few points they’ll remember are Laura Kersting’s roadside adventure, Karen Gleason’s unique dribbling talent, Rachel Lightcap’s ability to see even though her glasses were on the other side of the gym, and Coach Davis’ disappearing potato chips. The season ended in the first round of sub-state action where the team lost to a strong Southwestern Heights squad. “It takes courage for these girls to stay out, and it builds character,” said Coach Don Streit.

He talked about his high school years with Gene Flax, current high school coach, at Ransom High School. Mr. Cromwell has known Mr. Flax for a long time. They played football together in high school. “We were two guys who loved the sport,” said Mr. Cromwell. “We hated to graduate because of that. “As a team, we believed in what we did,” said Mr. Cromwell. “We came together and played as a group.” “Not only should the team come together to play as a group but they also need support. “A team needs support from the community, each team member, and the team as a whole,” replied Mr. Cromwell.

Bottom right: Christopher Eisele practices his golf. “Support of parents, friends, and community will not help if each member doesn’t make it happen,” continued Mr. Cromwell. Cromwell explained success. “Don’t cut yourself short! W'ith this attitude, one will have a chance to succeed. W'ith my success, I seemed to have been in the right place at the right time,” said Mr. Cromwell. “I had a chance to compete in track in the Olympics! Female senior athletes chosen were Stacey Ryan and Kathy Heacock. The male senior athletes chosen were Brad Scott and Karl Hetzel. Bill Ramsay, president of the Big Red Booster Club, was awarded with a Coyote hat, a certificate of appreciation, and a pin.

Right: Ceil Wetzel takes notes at the Booster Club meeting held at Romano’s Pizza. Big Red Booster Club was involved in many school related activities this past year. Mr. Bill Ramsay, the Big Red Booster Club president, stated, “We have some people involved, but that is not enough. We need more involvement from the parents as well as the community.” Mr. Ramsay added, “We have approximately 60 members, but only about 20 members really get involved and help support the school activities.” Big Red Booster Club does not want to just support the sports at KHS, but it also wants to support the academics. “We are striving to be an all-school booster club. In years past, the booster club mainly supported sports activities, but now we also support academic activities,” stated Mr. Ramsay. Some activities the booster club did follow: helped find books for the musical, donated money for the athletic banquet, helped by the new coyote mascot uniform, and helped with all sports activities.

I get a chance to meet more people and gain new friends,” said Comes. “I thought I'd never learn to keep the books, but it’s not as hard as I thought it would be,” said Comes. Comes commented, “The only thing that being a wrestling manager interferes with is the weekends.” Comes also enjoyed being a track manager. Comes said, “I enjoy being outside during track. During track and wrestling season, I get a chance to socialize more with people from other towns,” said Comes. Comes commented, “Sometimes my homework can interfere so I may have to change my schedule around sometimes. “I’ve been a manager for track and wrestling for two years, and I’m looking forward to being a manager for both sports my junior year also, continued Comes.

The spirit and enthusiasm of the Coyotes came through on two memorable nights. It was the first time in many years that the homecoming football game was won. It was also a first in many years that all three midwinter basketball games were won. Freshmen will always remember the night of the freshman mixer.

Seniors will always remember their last year of high school and one of the greatest times, graduation. All of these were zones of the present. Now they are zones of the past. As the seniors leave and the underclassmen move up the ladder, everything begins all over again in “The Danger Zone.” Top: I.ancc Ramsay, coach Dave Smith, coach Ron Miller (back turned).
