KOSTANG 1979 Kouts High School Kouts, Indiana Volume XXXIV DEDICATION Dedication From Seniors From seventh grade to college plans You’ve been there all the way. With helpfulness and guidance For each and every dav. You taught us how to study To be a success in school. And if there’s one thing we’ll remember. It’s sure to be Robert’s Rules. We thank you now, Miss Dittmer For all your care and work, And it is with deepest pleasure That we give you this, our book. The Class of 1979 2 It Began One Day Long Ago . . . . . . and we got to initiate it in the fall of ’78. The doors to a long awaited new home were finally open to students and community. Quickly, the newness began to mold to our needs. No longer the ‘pro- jected new facility’ for now it was indeed our new ‘home.’ 3 Curricular and extra-curricular activities became more interesting. Stand- ards had been set and goals had been achieved with the T.L.C. of the Kouts communit)'. 4 5 Traditions that have always been a part of KHS endear themselves within our homelife and await the next generations as eagerly as they awaited ours. 6 When All Is Said . . . . . . and all is done, school, like home, is a micro- cosm of life. You get out of it what you put into it. A lot has been put into this year—1978-79—that we may all get a lot out of it. Academics is the heart of life at KHS. Faculty members assist in the many phases of our school- home-life. Through their encouragement, discipline, and leadership, we achieve the many goals we set. They share our joys and sorrows, are proud of our achievements, and know we’ll learn even in our failures. Teachers lead us through the winding paths of academia from first grade through graduation. Administration Makes You Feel At Home A- Secretary Shirley Kneifel has numer- ous duties, such as helping Mr. Hefner keep books. B. At the dedication ceremony, Mr. Vir- gil Heinold and trustee Mr. Carl Hefner proudly hold the key to the new addi- tion. C Helpful and pleasant, our secretaries Vera Nuest and Rose .Ambers help the school function smoothly. 10 A. Every program is a little more meaningful when Principal Mr. Rommelmann speaks. B. On one of his frequent visits to Routs, superintendent Calvin Willis finds time to relax for a pose. C In her new office. Miss Dittmer has much more room to spread her guidance materials around. D. Keeping school business in order is our very reliable assistant principal, Mr. Bechtel. 11 Teachers Get Involved A. Art is fun and very interesting when Mrs. Steele is part of the scene. B. Judging by the puzzled look on his face, it seems like Mr. Blastick wonders if he’ll ever get through another day of eighth grade history. C Media Center director Ms. Sloan gets enjoyment out of instructing students on the uses of the facilities. D. Wondering if the student council havride will make history is Miss Marsoobian. A. English can be fun, but often puzzling, thinks Mrs. Strenth as she searches for an answer. B. After an entire day of thinking, Mr. Pressner has finally come up with a brilliant idea for his English class. C Nobody would ever know that the mild-mannered Mr. Oates, English teacher by day, becomes the fierce play director at 3:00 p.m. every day during the spring and fall. D. Chuckling to herself over an unbelievable English compos- ition is Miss Wagner. EL “It sure is a relief to speak English again, thinks German teacher Mrs. Cunningham when the day is over. F. Government, economics, current problems, and Spanish are time consuming classes, and require much work by the devoted Mr. Murray. Language Makes Life Interesting Business And P.E. Keep Students Active A- Taking a break before he start a new P.E. class is Mr. Blast ick. B. Diligently preparing a lesson, Mrs. Reshkin pauses for a moment of rest. C. “I’m a P.E. teacher, I don’t run projectors, exclaims Mr. Briars. D. Teaching is hard work, as Mr. Stone well knows. E. As he completes a week’s lesson plans, Mr. Knauff smiles with satisfaction. 14 Science Expands With New Facilities A. “When did health class become so excit- ing?” Miss Lawler wonders. B. Why did I ever become a teacher? wonders Mrs. Wieland as she grades geome- try papers. C. Sitting at his desk. Mr. McDaniel rests after a hard day of teaching math. D. If you think you can teach this class, thinks Mrs. Adams, “you’re welcome to try it. E. Staring into space, Mrs. Ames dreams up .Algebra problems for her class. A. Directing band , playing instruments and passing out music all day is tiresome, as shown by Mr. Good as he refreshes himself after senior band class. B. Our bus drivers manage to get us here through all kinds of weather, which is often a disappointment on a snowy day.

Searching the hallway, industrial arts instructor Mr. Brownell is perplexed as to the whereabouts of his entire power mechanics class. E. In addition to teaching agriculture. Miss Schmidt puts in many hours of FFA related work. 17 A What would life at KHS be like without activi- ties? One can hardly imagine, for almost every stu- dent is involved in something. With sports, student government, agriculture, science, and homemaking clubs to choose from, everyone can be involved. It’s all a part of education, for the truly educated person knows how to get along with others, and be a responsible member of a group. For the first time. Student Council sponsored a Gong Show. There were many participants—some talented and some not so talented. Homecoming, one of the highlights of the year, was a great success. For the second year in a row, the Class of ’79 won the mini-olympics. Between the JV and varsity game agaiast Hanover Central, the queen, Razona Butler, and princess, Kathy Ambers, were crowned.

Finally , after a long wait, the Kouts Mustangs have a beautiful new gym, and on November 17, the first home basketball game was played there. The annual South County tourney was held at Kouts this year, where it was first played in 1938, upon the invitation of the Kouts principal. In that first tourney, Morgan defeated Boone, and Hebron defeated Kouts during opening rounds. Kouts was then beaten by Boone in the consolation game, and Hebron emerged as the victor by downing Morgan in the final seconds. In this year’s South County, Kouts was once again defeated in the opening game, this time bv Morgan, and again by Hebron in the consolation game. Boone won the championship game. Other highlights of Kouts sports this year were the girls’ volleyball team, who advanced to the sec- tional finals before being beaten by Hebron; the J.V. boys’ basketball team, who got to the JV tour- ney finals, but were nipped by Boone Grove; and having a Mustang win the M. E. Dinsmore award for the second year in a row. This year, Tom New- land earned the coveted trophy with his tireless play. A first in ’79 in the conference was the introduc- tion of the James Dold award, for the most outstand- ing girls’ basketball player. The winner was Clenda Snyder from Kouts. Perhaps the biggest victory of the year was the 72- 66 win over Hebron, which was long overdue. As a result, the PCC keg was on display in the new tro- phy case at the entrance to the gym.

I've gotta go to work, explains Dina Coatsolonia. C. And here's my locker, says Kern Goodpaster as he takes us on a guided tour of the new addition. D. Pretending that he knows how to run a projector is Bob Hattabaugh. E. The physics class had to dress com- fortably, as shown by Tom Newland, to be able to perform some of their experi- ments. F. A confused Brenda Kroft is about ready to give up on school entirely. G. Here—in profile—what we’ve all been waiting lor—John Grieger—bet- ter know n as Rat. H. “Hold it,” says Fish, Let me pose first.” I. At the Labor Day Celebration, Kevin Pullins cools off with a glass of—hev, what is that stuff??? Lemonade! 94 Senior zJ ! otto L7f you can imayine it, you can acfzieoe it. Cj you dream it, you can become it. CoCou H3uryundy and Scarlet Coweri ZPinlz zRo e and White Carnation A. Ttiming in magazine money was a great excuse to get out of class for a while. B. Seniors studying? You must be kidding!! C. Showing his tremendous physique and endurance is John Kuehl. D. Not again, sighs Donna Vogel, who is sick to death of hasing her picture taken. E. While the underclassmen play the drums in band. Dennis Span- gler and John Rosenbaum supersise. F. Together ... at good ol’ KHS are Dawn Harmon. Diane McDougal. Kathy Press and Sue Birky. Too bad it can t always be like this. 95 Like A Brown Paper Bag . . . Brown paper bags containing lunches; headsets coming out of ceilings; new wood bookshelves and choosing your own lunch are only examples of the changes that have occurred over the last year at KHS. There were sacrifices, but we made them, and our grand reward was the fine new facilities. Unlike many things, which grow worse with time, Kouts High School keeps getting better and bet- ter. 97 o. Vw r ikl EV4 The new facilities we have recently acquired are only a part of the history of change here. There have been changes before and there will be many more to come. The same goes for our lives from this point on. The doors of childhood have all but shut, and ahead is an open door inviting us to step into the future. When we cross the threshold, we enter a whole new life, but the door behind will never shut completely. Always, we will be free to drift back into the past. Home would not he home without our commerce and our school. The school grooms citizens, who in turn develop commerce and contribute to our cities, who in turn contribute to our school. We take this opportunity to thank all of our advertisers and ask that each and every one patronize those people who have been kind enough to contribute to the 1979 Kostang.
