Other classes were Basic Math, Consumer Math, and Geometry. Mark Pickerel summed up the feeling of Mrs. Wolfe and the entire Geometry class in this way: Geometry: It’s not just a job, it’s an adventure.” TOP LEFT: Deryck Malone and Ginger Burke. MIDDLE: Geometry Class. BOTTOM LEFT: Jeff Johnson. BOTTOM RIGHT: Algebra Class. 13 SCIENCE As the song says, “She Blind- ed me with Science,” is exactly what Mrs. Knetter did to her science students with demonstrations of exploding sodium, melting ice cubes, and dyeing planaria. Mrs. Knetter taught three classes this year. They were Biology, Chemistry, and Physical Science, and there was never a dull moment in any of the classes. In the spring, the science students showed off what they had learned at the second an- nual LHS Science Fair. Three grand prize ribbons were awarded to Deryck Malone, Brenda Shawley, and Monica Richesin. Newcomer to LHS. Science Fair Winners: Monica Richesin. Kristi Haag, Brenda Shawley. Deryck Malone, and John Ringel. Mrs. Knetter explains facts on trees. 14 ENGLISH “There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.” Yes, once again Mrs. Perry was looking for a few good students to unravel the mysteries of Shakespeare. Mrs. Perry also taught three new classes this year. Humanities, Creative Writing, and Mysteries and Suspense. Elsewhere, Mrs. Benedick con- tinued her quest to prove that grammar truly is relevant to writing. In adition to her English classes, she also taught Speech and TV production. In Speech discussion groups helped instigate changes in the lunchroom. Com- mercials, documentaries, and feature programs were produced in TV Production. 15 As the saying goes, it’s quality, not quantity that counts. The members of this year’s computer class were proof of that, as they worked day and night to improve their knowledge of the fascinating world of computers. When Stephanie Sheets was asked about how she felt about the Computer Class, she replied in this way: When I went into the Computer Class I didn’t know anything at all about computers. But as time and chapters went by it started to sink in about what a computer really was. I really enjoy the class. One reason is because it's so small and if you need help Mrs. Miller will lend you a hand. Of course, she doesn’t tell you the answer but she'll give you good hints that help you figure out the problem. The class is very rewarding because if you know something about computers then you have a chance to get a job working with computers. Com- puters are the future and I’ve got my foot in the door to the future of computers.” 16 L.H.S. Business Department The Business room sported a new look this year. After spending many years typing on antique furniture, Mrs. Miller's students received new desks and chairs. The new typing desks added style to Mrs. Miller’s room, while the new plush chairs added more comfort to the business students. The Business Department also purchased a new electronic typewriter. As the saying goes, though, the more things change, the more they stay the same. Mrs. Miller still taught Typing I, II, III, and IV, and Shorthand. “Shorthand is a class that requires much determination and individualized effort, which all pays off with a rewarding career opportunity, said Cristy Harris and Denise Bradshaw. 17 s S 0 C c 1 “Behavior Modification” was a key phrase in Mr. Thornton’s Social 1 A E N Studies classes this year. Students were encouraged to be polite to one another, or else face the conse- L C quences of Mr. Thornton’s wrath. Students also found out the E answers to many questions that they had been dying to know, like Who invented barbed wire?” and “What time is practice tonight?” 18 In Mrs. Savacool’s Home Ec. classes, students learned many things, like how to tell the difference between a spatula and a rubber scraper, how to build a fire, how to develop children, and the importance of good nutrition. H E O C M E 19 They say that war is , and so apparently, is Drama Class. Mr. Booth’s students learned how to do stage combat this year, and the students were thrilled with what Kirk Harr- ington called “exciting but fake acts of violence.” Other class activities includ- ed work in makeup, script analysis, and costuming. The students also spent much of their time preparing for the Two Trails League Speech and Drama Festival and the High School Play. 20 Sweetums! This year seemed to go by quickly in the art class. In each class we still accomplished a lot. 3-D Art worked in many materials from clay to plaster figures that taught us many things including patience. From our 3-D class on “We can fix that” we went into Textiles. Once again patience was need- ed to learn about weaving, basketry and batiking. In Art I and II we spent many days or weeks on learning drawing skills that proved to be successful with the exhibit Give us a hand. The students also spent many days on color theory and its application. 21 Proving once again that it’s quality that counts, Linwood Band battled small numbers to have yet another successful year. At times, the small numbers and the outstanding talent of trombone player Larry Brents led people to call it “Larry and the Band.” For the first time, the band went to Pittsburgh Band Day, instead of going to Kansas University or Kansas State Band Days. The move proved to be a good one, as the band received a second place trophy for their performance. The choir once again sang their way into the hearts of many senior citizens when they went caroling to Bonner Springs resl homes at Christmas time. The choir speni the rest of their time preparing for various concerts and for this year’s musical, “Lit- tle Mary Sunshine.” First Row: Shelly Gilberl Megan Richesin. Michell Bennet.

Mr. Ed Dorssom, longtime Industrial Arts instructor, shocked students and teachers alike when he shaved off his famous mustache. Other happenings this year were the many projects the students worked on such as cedar chests, and the exciting trip to Pittsburgh State University. 24 The pride and joy of the Linwood Physical Educa- tion department is the new weight machine the department got this summer. Now all LHS weightlifters can look good while they continue to follow Coach Hills’ advice of ‘‘No pain, no gain.” When they were not lifting weights, they were en- gaged in various activities, such as aerobics, volleyball, basketball, softball, shower sprints, and Todd Holmes imitation contests.

Being on the LHS Yearbook Staff is a lot like your first time on the Orient Express. About halfway through, you start to wonder “What am I doing here?” Being on the Yearbook Staff means putting in a lot of extra hours with nothing in return but when the final product is put out, most of the people on the staff will tell you that all the work was worth it. Anyway, we had a great staff this year. Members of the staff were Co-editors Cristy Harris and Dawn Stiltner, who took charge at all of our many lunchtime Yearbook meetings; Lisa Dunivan, Mary Stiltner, Ginger Burke, and Dawnyel Hiatt, who were responsible for all the fabulous layouts in the yearbook, as well as ulcers in the copy editor (Mark Coatney, my page is due in 5 minutes and I need 500 words of copy. That’s not any problem, is it?) Taking all the wonderful pictures in the book was Stephanie “Let’s try it one more time with the flash,” Sheets, and the lady who typed all this great copy and kept the business running correctly was our very own Denise Bradshaw. Our sponsor was Mrs. Charlotte “Who, me worry?” Miller. Dawn Stiltner typing her copy to meet her deadline. 29 Newswriting The Newswriting Staff put out six issues, all of which were very well received by L.H.S. students. A news feature of the paper this year was The Never Ending Column” by Mark Coatney and Deryck Malone. Mrs. Ann Benedick was back for the second year as Newswriting Sponsor. Members of the staff were: Mark Coatney, Wendy Hipsher, Deryck Malone, David Berry, Misty Williams, Tracy Gilbert, Michelle Bennett, Vicki McKinney, and Brenda Shawley. 30 Student Council The Student Council had one of its best years ever. Stuco President, Ginger Burke, and the rest of the Stuco members planned one of the most exciting and best attended Homecoming dances in recent years. Stuco was also in charge of many new activities this year, including a student vs. faculty softball game, and a Christmas talent show. The talent show also launched the careers of the Six Tops, who took first place in the show. This year's stuco officers and members are: Ginger Burke, President; Jeff Johnson, Vice President; Deryck Malone, Secretary Treasurer. Senior class representatives are Bryan Smith and Mark Coatney and junior class representatives are Kirk Harrington and Dawn Oest. Misty Williams and Kari Williams are the sophomore class representatives and Derek McCollum and Brenda Burns are freshman representatives. The Pep Club representatives are Paige Johnson and Amy Walkenhorst. 31 F= l—rh HI — Q TEAMS TV stars Mark Pickerel, Leigh Roberts, and Mark Coatney were back for another year of exciting High-Q competition on WIBW-TV this year. Joining them on the team were newcomers Jeff Johnson and Deryck Malone. This year, the team was expanded to include a junior varsity, and they competed in many High-Q tournaments in the area. Other members of the team were: Robby Marble, Ginger Burke, Tom Stark, Vicki McKinney, and Rachel Coatney. The spon- sor was Mrs. Sharon Coatney. Varsity: Jeff Johnson, Leigh Roberts. Mark Coatney, Deryck Malone. Mark Pickerel, and Robby Marble. Junior Varsity: Tom Stark, Vicki McKinney, Ginger Burke. Dawnyel Hiatt, and Rachel Coatney.

In Dorothy Kempf’s second season as a head coach, the Lady Bulldogs improved their record from 6-16 in ’83 to 9-17, and in the process collected a small but loyal group of fans. “Speaking on behalf of the fans, I must say, this year’s volleyball games were tremendously exciting” said Larry Brents. “Just when you thought the Lady Bulldogs were down, someone would spark the team up and the crowd would become electrified.” The varsity team made up of seniors: Dawn Stiltner, Stephanie Sheets, Cristy Harris, Denise Bradshaw, Ginger Burke, and Leanne King. Brad- shaw went down early with a knee injury and missed the rest of the season. Other members of the team were sophomores: Tiffini Tomlin, Misty Williams, Tracy Gilbert and Brenda Shawley. The team also experienced some success in the tournaments they at- tended. They took third place in both the Barstow and J.C.N. Tour- naments, and they played a close match in Lebo before finally losing to Waverly in the Regionals. For the Junior Varsity, the year was more of a learning experience. They lost their first eight games, but they steadily improved each game, and finished with a 6-23 record. The JV coach was Dianne Iselin, and her players were: Leigh Roberts, Mary Stiltner, Amanda Farrington, Stephanie McKinney, Vicki McKinney, Rachel Coatney, Lisa Oelschlaeger, Pam Phillips, Brenda Burns, and Michelle Bennett. In summing up the season, Coach Kempf said’ I think we’ll be more ex- perienced next year, but we’ll really miss our seniors!” 34 With a 9-17 Record Dawn goes up for a block. Stephanie bumps the ball. Misty dunks the ball over. LINWOOD WINS LEAGUE For the first time since the creation of the Two Trails League in 1981, Linwood won the league championship in foot- ball. After defeating Burlingame, they beat KSD 18-12 in an exciting game that gave them the league title. Although the Bulldogs were short on experience, (they only started three seniors) they still managed a respec- table 3-5 record. We had a pretty young team, but we were able to win some and we did win the Two Trails League, so all in all I guess you could say that we had a good season,” said junior Deryck Malone. 51, Kirk Harrington, kicks for Linwood. 36 Tony Istas, 77; Kirk Harrington, 51; and Craig Rogers. 72; came bustin' through for the start of the game.

The game was an outstanding example of defensive football at its best, as the senior - sophomore team, the Mad- dogs, defeated the junior - freshman team, the Wildcats, 2-0. The only score of the game came when Leigh Roberts sacked the Wildcat’s quarter- back in the end zone for a safety. I thought all of our girls did a tremendous job,” said Mad- dogs' defensive coordinator Mark Coatney, “especially in the second half when they were tired and could have easily folded. I think all of our girls, especially my defensive players, showed what they're really made Of.” The Maddogs won the victory! Another highlight of the eve- ning was the performance by the teams’ cheerleaders: Robert Brown, Kelly Powell, Dusty Smith and Derek McCollum for the Maddogs and Aubrey Sines, Steve Bardwell, Buddy Bright and David Hiatt for the Wildcats. Coaches for the Maddogs were head coach Larry Brents and assistants Craig Rodgers, Mark Coatney, and Dennis Raines. Coaching for the Wildcats were Scott Malone and Tony Istas. GIRLS SPORTS It’s on three: Maddogs offensive huddle. Where do I go now: Ginger Burke (Maddogs). 39 Young Girls Prove Back Row: Coach Thornton, Tracy Gilbert, Ginger Burke. Brenda Shawley, Cristy Harris, Brenda Burns, Dawn Stiltner, Denise Bradshaw, Tiffini Tomlin, Dava Carlton, Paige Johnson, Misty Williams and Coach Hills. Front Row: Pam Johnson, Pam Phillips, Rachel Coatney. and Janice Pitts. It was an up and down season for the Lady Bulldogs as they finished with a record of 7- 11. There were some highs, such as a 40-39 victory over a very tough Highland team, and also some lows, like two very close losses to Burlingame. The team suffered greatly from inex- perience. Although the Bulldogs returned four starters or part time starters from last year's squad; the bench was made up of mostly freshmen and sophomores; and Coach John Thornton was forced to play people with very little varsity experience. The bulldogs were also hurt by the gradua- tion of last year's top scorer and rebounder, Gail Colnar. However, sophomore Brenda Shawley stepped in and did a fine job, averaging 17 points a game. In the Desoto Tournament, the Bulldogs battled hard but lost all three games and had to settle for eighth place. 40 To Be an Asset 41 Wrestlers: Kenneth Huffman, Darren Brock, Tony Istas, Dusty Smith, Kevin Smith, Coach Dorrsom, and Manager Stephanie Sheets. WRESTLERS WRESTLERS The LHS grapplers continued their tradition of excellence this year, sending three men to state competition. Nicknamed Destruction Inc.’’, the team of Kevin Nature Boy” Smith, Ken “The Giant” HuffmanjDti9ty “Wan Mountain” Srnijtt -Oarren “Bruiser gri cFl SEbak) aficOdihy Istas terrorized opponents from other schools. Their records were as follows: K. Smith, 16-4; D. Smith, 10-4; T. Istas, 8-9; D. Brock, 8-6; and K. Huffman, 0-9. The three qualifiers for state were Kevin Smith, Dusty Smith, and Tony Istas. 42 WRESTLERS 43 Boys Have a Back row: Coach Hills, Scott Malone, Kirk Harrington, Deryck Malone, Scott Smith, Craig Rogers, Mark Coatney, Larry Brents, Troy Chambers and Coach Hare. Front row: Edwyn Smith. Bryan Smith, Jeff Johnson, and Buddy Bright. They say adversity builds character, and if so, the Linwood Basketball team should have more character than most. After winning their first game, the Bulldogs dropped their next ten, before regrouping and winning six out of their last nine games. We had a very young team, and it took us a while to mesh together,” said senior center Mark Coatney. We really started to play well during the Savior tournament, when everyone started to get some confidence in themselves. The Bulldogs took sixth place in the Savior of the World tournament, after a heartbreaking one point loss to Eudora. Jeff Johnson was named to the first team of the all tournament team and was voted Mr. Hustler.” Mark Coatney was named to the second team. I think the season went fairly well, even though I missed most of it.” said senior Bryan Smith, who missed 11 games with an eye injury. WHOOSH! 44 Cinderella Season Back Row: Coach Hills, Mike D.

For the women, the season was highlighted by continued strong performances by Brenda Shawley in the High Jump and the 100m and 300m hurdles, and by Megan Richesin in the 1600m and 3200m. For the men, consistant medal winners were Deryck Malone in the 110m and 300m hurdles and Jeff Johnson in the 800m.

New Cheerleaders this year were: Pam Johnson, Tracy Gilbert, Mary Stiltner, Stephanie Swan, and Michelle Bennett. Returning from last year were Kim Robert- son, Kari Williams, and Kim Kilburn.

Front row: Dawn Stiltner, Denise Bradshaw, Ginger Burke, and Doris Rodgers. The halftime ceremonies during Homecoming this year were what they usually are — cold and muddy, but somehow still fun. The three candidates and Cristy Harris, last year’s queen, made their traditional lap around the field to the accompaniment of “Younger than Springtime” (not, as rumor has it, “Under the Boardwalk”). After an extremely suspenseful pause, Mrs. Ann This is not Lawrence High School” Benedick announc- ed that Denise Bradshaw was Linwood's 1984 Homecoming Queen. Denise was then picked up and driven around the field to the homecoming float, while candidates Ginger Burke and Dawn Stiltner had to walk through the swamp between them and their float. The three then spent the second half on the float doing various traditional homecoming activities, such as watching the game, saying “thank you,” and telling anyone who would listen how cold they were! EVENTS 1984 was a big year for science, politics, and many other things such as sports. First of all, it was election year. The candidates for Presi- dent were Ronald Reagan and Walter Mondale. Their running mates were George Bush and Geraldine Ferraro. As everyone knows Reagan is our President and at the age of 73 is the oldest President that the U.S. has ever had. Second, the Olympics. This was the first time in 5 yrs. that the Olympics had been held in the U.S. Basically the U.S. athletes did very well and came away with many gold medals. Mary Lou Retton was one of the many outstanding gymnasts and athletes. In Entertainment, Michael Jackson was a big hit. His solo album “Thriller sold over 35 million copies worldwide. Some of the more popular groups included: Prince, Van Halen, Duran Duran, Bruce Springsteen and others. Some of the “Hit” movies included: Gremlins, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and Purple Rain. Just a little sidenote to end this section on entertainment. What do you think the biggest commercial of 1984 was? How about “WHERE'S THE BEEF!?” In the world of medicine there were some big advancements. For example, the transplant of an artificial heart into the body of Barney Clark and William Schroeder. Last, but certainly not least, the transplant of a baboon heart into the body of Baby Fae. A few side events: 1. The statue of Liberty was being fixed because of the damage caused by acid rain and the weather in general. 2. Prince Charles and Lady Diana had another son. 3. The space shuttle Discovery was launched on a mission to retrieve two lost satellites. To sum up the events of 1984 was a very difficult task — it was a very long exciting year! LADEN WITH HAPPINESS AND TEARS H o m e c 0 m ■ 1 n g w e e k Spirit week was a tremendous suc- cess this year at Linwood. The students showed a lot of enthusiasm during the week, and participated in many of the week's activities, which included the traditional four dress up days, camouflage day, t-shirt signing day, preppie day, and purple and gold day, the powder puff football game, the Homecoming Dance, and the Kiss a Pig Contest. In the Kiss a Pig Contest, Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Wolfe were the fortunate win- ners, along with Stuco Secretary, Deryck Malone, who told Mrs. Wolfe earlier in the week that he would kiss the pig if she had to. The pep rally where the three kissed the pig was very exciting, although Stephanie Sheets, who donated the porkers, became a little nervous when Mrs. Miller showed up with a frying pan and a copy of 101 Ways to Better Pork.” 50 51 Rockin’ the Break What? Denise Bradshaw was named the 1984 homecoming queen during halftime ceremonies of the Linwood game in October. Denise Bradshaw and queen candidates: Dawn Stiltner and Ginger Burke presided at the homecoming dance held that night from 10 p.m.-12 p.m. “I thought that the dance was the best we’ve had since I've been here,” said Student Council Presi- dent, Ginger Burke. Indeed, for the first time in recorded history, nearly everyone who came to the dance stayed for the entire two hours. Denise waves to her fans. Mark watches Bobby Boogie. And the iights go low. 52 Night Away Buddy and Steve have a dance dual. Alfie displays more talent. 53 The 1984-85 King Queen of Courts MARK COATNEY KIM ROBERTSON This year’s King and Queen of courts were Mark Coatney, senior and Kim Robertson, sophomore. The crowning took place on Tuesday, February 5, 1985, during the halftime of the boys varsity game against McLouth. A The other candidates that were nominated were Jeff Johnson, and Deryck Malone, juniors, and Troy Chambers, sophomore. The queen nominees were Kari Williams, sophomore and Pam Johnson and Dava Carlton, freshmen. The dance was held in the new gym. The D.J.’s were Bill “Chico” Shivers and Jesse Clifton. The theme was “I Wanna Rock” and the colors were turquoise and silver. 55 Linwood High School Proudly Presents “Stout hearted is a forest ranger, he’s a scout. He’s thoughtful, friendly, courteous and kind.” This song was one of the many great moments in this year’s L.H.S. musical Little Mary Sun- shine”, which played to packed houses during it's one week run at Linwood City Music Hall, (better known as the L.H.S. band room). The title role was played by Megan I’m not go- ing to sign any contract until I talk to my agent” Richesin. Other cast members were professional wrestler Tony Von Istas as Captain Jim, the Ultimate Male”. Deryck “I’m going to change my name to Joe” McCollum as Billy, Tom “Hey little girl, want some candy?” Stark as General Fairfax. Denise “Vere did I get dis schtupid accent” Brad- shaw as Madame Ernestine. 56 57 The L.H.S. juniors and seniors held their prom April 27, at the Eldridge House in Lawrence. The theme for this year’s prom was ‘Stairway to Heaven”. The junior class president, Tom Stark, opened the evening with an inspiring speech. Cristy Harris, the senior class president, then replied with a short speech of thanks to the junior class. As a whole, the prom was a success. The music for this dance was provided by Bill Jefferies, a disc jockey from ZZ99. The question everyone wanted to ask Mr. Jef- feries was, ’’Does your mother know you play this?” 59 Diplomas Signify Accomplishment The Linwood High School graduating class of 1985 received their diplomas on May 21 before a crowd of more than 300 people. The ceremony was held in the new gym. Speeches were made by Cristy Harris, class salutatorian, and Megan Richesin, class valedic- torian. Cristy recognized and thanked the teaching staff for the energy put into giving her and all students a fine education. Megan spoke of how love, faith, hope, and patience have given her strength throughout high school. Mr. John Johnson, school board member and active member of the Linwood community, ad- dressed the audience on the value of an education from a small rural school and the success story which can unfold. The LHS band played the traditional Pomp and Circumstance” and the choir sang People Got to be Free” and “No Man is an Island”. The invoca- tion was given by Mrs. Roy Daniels, and benedic- tion was given by Rev. Bill Atchley. After the seniors received their diplomas from Dr. Virgil Boatwright, the procession marched to the north end of the gym to form a receiving line. They were greeted and congratulated by many of the guests. David Berry 60 1. Christy Harris after receiving her diploma. 2. Denise Bradshaw and Dawn Stiltner. 3. Megan Richesin giving her speech. 4.

The evening started off with a speech welcoming all visitors by Mrs. Ann Starlin. Then Mrs. Sharon Coatney addressed the seniors. She gave them balloons, her special award, to commemorate their past experiences and personalities. After listening intently to Mrs. Sawka, former LHS English teacher, the seniors took to the stage and presented their skits. The most hilarious, by far, was the Day on a Safari in Mr. Thornton’s Classroom” and the Humanities” skits. The story of Mr. Thornton and the once serious leaking pro- blem, gave many students and teachers a giggling fit. On the other hand, Mrs. Perry, the humanities teacher, was depicted as being ruthless to students wanting to go somewhere and making them take 100 page tests. The evening came to a close when the seniors presented red and white carnations to their parents. That night, will, hopefully, be one of the most memorable for both the seniors of 1985 and their proud parents. Brenda Shawley SENIOR CELEBRITIES 62 ATHLETES RECEIVE AWARDS The athletic banquet was on May 13, 1985, in the new gym from 6:00 P.M. — 7:30 P.M. To start the evening off, there was a potluck dinner. The dinner lasted until 6:45 P.M. and then the coaches started giving out the awards and recognizing the students who went out for sports and also people who lettered. Those in charge of the athletic banquet are the administration, principals, coaches, and sponsors. The reason for having an athletic banquet every year is to recognize and give awards to the people who participated in sports, cheerleading, and pep club. 63 English Mrs. Benedick Music Mr. Jones English Lit.

The memory of Linwood will remain in our hearts; though it's the end of our school days for our lives it's the start. With new days to come we will always look back; and remember those days when maturity did lack. The moments we all shared filled with laughter and tears; and the growing we all did filled with new thoughts and new fears. Now we must move on and continue to grow; but let’s never forget to smile with that same youthful glow. 79 AUTOGRAPHS
