Main Marion KS 66861 Volume 69 . together Title Page 1 Savor the Flavor Unique, far-out, or |ust different: however you choose to say it. the 1983-84 school year at Marion High School had a flavor all its own. August 23 found the halls of MHS filled once again, teeming with tans, new faces, ideas, and more grown-up attitudes. Leav- ing the freedom of summer to tcce the grind of school again brought out excitement and anticipatio mixed with dread. What could be expected in '83-'84 school life? The old familiars, like vanilla and chocolate still hung around: best friends; running downtown over lunch period for soft drinks and donuts; homework (by the ton); cheering at a dose ball game; dragging out of bed at the break of dawn for a school trip; going all-out to dress up for Spirit Week; voting for Homecoming Queen and Queen of Courts; trading school pictures,- giving your best to win the game; buying a dress for the prom; staying 10 minutes after school for detention; studying all night for the big test; going out on your first date; being rowdy for the fun of it ...

Home Ec III, Physics, Metals, Health, Speech, and Mechanical Drawing dosses;' 4 new teachers and a new janitor; going from 6 to 7 class hours a day; 3 more classes moved to the main building because of plans to move the Middle School from Florence to the stone Hill Building; homework like a never-ending pain in the neck and high grades harder to get as a result of the 1983 report: A Nation at Risk. Honor roll listings decreased as eligibility requirements increased, leaving a bitter aftertaste in the mouths of some students. Pizzazzy new styles such as Ocean Pacific shirts, miniskirts, sweatshirts, punk hairdos. 9 .Together and the preppy look added pepper to the melting pot of students — all with their own personal fashions. Classes were unique, each complemen- ting the others in their special ways: Freshmen showed maturity in blending with the taste of high school life; Sophomores displayed familiarity and spirit in the new mix of things; Juniors had sweet anticipation of next year, and frosting the cake were the '84 Seniors. Marion High's 100th graduating class. Many different flavors trickled through MHS, but they all swirled together into one delicious memory. So come along, relive those zesty moments, and let's savor the flavor of '84 together. ■‘Boy. whot o drag!” Loro Wolf and Debtxe Socolofsky try to forget the upcoming Yearbook deadline 4 Opening Now listen, guys, ' totally punked out' isn’t even in the dictionory! soys Melisso Knspense Steve Seiler wakes up to participate in the lost 5 minutes of College Prep Here s to you. old Morion High School.

The classroom is a different place for everyone. Some students see the classroom as a door opening on new horizons of the future. For others, the classroom is. as expressed by one student, a place to wear my new clothes. And for still others, these rooms are a place to talk to friends and catch up on the latest gossip. The '83-'84 class schedule included seven class hours instead of the former six. Students' most common complaint concerning the change was the increased load of homework. When asked about extensive assignments. Teanna Matz, sophomore, mumbled With all the homework I've got, I should just take the whole locker home! Many students also agreed that their classes were more difficult. Mike Stewart. |unior, described the first part of the year with these words. There have been new challenges and harder classes as we all struggle to move up the ladder of education. For some students, it was a struggle. Classrooms were a required part of our daily lives. Each student will remember them, whether with fondness, regret, or perhaps sadness. These rooms were the setting for happiness, laughter, and also frustra- tion. But whatever the view of the classroom, it was a vital ingredient in the making of the 1983-1984 school year. In the Classroom 7 Art Students Create Mascot Mura Thanks to the 83-84 Art Department, the MHS Warrior Mascot reigns supreme over his CVL partners in the MHS gym. This mural was the product of the Art Proiect class. It was designed and painted under the instruction of Mr. James Versch. art instruc- tor. Art I and II and Art Proiects were this department's course offerings for the 83-84 school year. Students found it easier to be creative in the informal atmosphere offered in this classroom. The arts should be Warrior moscot reigns supreme in the MHS gym stressed more in high school becouse with all of the required courses, the kids need to have a class that they can be more creative in, said Versch. Most of the students enrolled in art are there because they really enjoy it. When asked what satisfaction she received from taking 6rt, senior Brenda Hiebert replied. It feels good to finish a proiect you've created and for people to compliment you on it. Some of the students plan to enter art- related fields in future years.

P.E Students pose” lor the comero New Requirement Adds to Dept. Pollution, body systems and functions. CPR. and other health-related topics were all things studied in Health, a new required course offered in the MHS 83-84 school year. Health was taught by Marion Ogden. When questioned about Health. Fawn Keith, sophomore, replied, The most im- portant thing I learned was studying about the effects of drugs, alcohol, and cigarettes on the body. I think more time should be spent teaching these areas in a way that the kids will en|oy. yet understand. Ogden also taught Physical Education and served as athletic director. Volleyball, basketball, scooter games, flag football, physical conditioning and wrestling were all taught in the Physical Education classes. Ogden said that he enioyed teaching both Physical Education and Health because they are very beneficial to the students' physical well-being later in life. The past four years as athletic director have involved getting game programs ready to be printed, scheduling games and track meets, hiring officials, and organizing the athletic department as a whole.

The aroma of yeast breads and biscuits, the whir of sewing machines in action, the laughter of group discussions ... all of these ingredients from the Home Economics Department added to the flavor of the lower hallway at MHS. Mrs. Polly Ferrell began her 23rd teaching year at MHS. but resigned at the end of the first nine weeks to move to Colby. Kansas. Replacing Ferrell was Miss Kathy Patter- son from Whitewater. This was Patterson's first year as a teacher. Patterson taught basic sewing skills, nutrition, relationships, child care, home management and room improvement in her Home Ec I class. Home Ec II involved ad- vanced study in the above areas. Home Ec III. a new course offering consisted of in- depth education in basic home economics skills. I really enjoyed the class, because it of- fered such a wide variety of things to learn, said Patty Jeffrey, senior, Home Ec III stu- dent. Even though Home Economics was con- sidered as a class for girls, several boys were enrolled in both Home Ec I and II. Pat- terson said, I was glad they were enrolled because they need these basic skills as much as the girls. The boys seemed to en|oy the class. The cooking port was fun. but I really enjoyed eating what we made. said junior Carey Jost. Julie Grent smiles os she puts the finishing touches on her Home Ec. Ill protect Vickie Schaffer and Jennifer Stinchcomb attempt to decipher a recipe 12 Home Economics Clothes for the Student Body Levi, Sassoon, Gloria Vanderbilt, Lee, Brittania and many other brand names filled the students' closets as the new year began. Fashion took on an entirely different mean- ing in the 1983-84 school year. New styles and brand names were everywhere. Mini-skirts became the fad for girls, while guys began wearing cut-sleeved t-shirts. A trend of popular sportswear came out of nowhere, called Ocean Pacific (Op). Soon there were shirts and pants in every color of the rainbow with the Op trademark. One student was overheard talking to another saying, It's funny, now that I think about it, but when I first saw the Op shirts, I thought they were advertising a university! Shoes seemed to be an important factor to Warriors' wardrobes in 1983-84. The shoes that trod the MHS campus were Adidas. Bass, Hush Puppy, All Star, and the most popular selling shoe across the country, NIKE. Preppies began popping up all over the place wearing sweatshirts, handkerchiefs around the neck, alligator and fox emblems on shirts, pullover sweaters with long and short sleeved shirts underneath and slip-on shoes without socks. These new-fangled fashions were soon the rage throughout the halls of MHS. As always, denim blue leans were ex- tremely popular m the 1983-84 year. No matter what the occasion, leans were bound to be there. When asked how he felt about all the new styles, junior Joe Graham replied, The new styles are fashionable and unique, but I think some people here are too self- conscious to try something new! Even the new line of coats were somewhat preppy. The long calf-length down coats were in for girls, and the guys chose coots with padded shoulders, that ad- ded dimension to their physiques. As winter came to a close, spring brought the end of the year, melting the snow and delivering the Warriors to the warm front door of summer. Coats were shed, t-shirts and other light-weight clothes came out of backs of closets and onto the backs of students. When Kodi Sader, sophomore, was asked her feelings about the 1983-84 school year fashions, she wrapped it up by saying, I dislike totally punked-out. but I love the new 'preppy' look, especially on the guys!

Jackson added to the flavor of the '83-'84 Social Science Department with the teaching of American History, American Government and Current History. Miss Kathy Patterson complemented the department with the educational ingredient of Psychology. When questioned os to her students' interest in learning. Mrs. Jackson replied. The students are working very diligently, and they put out extreme effort in the seven-hour school day. The students focused their abilities on topics which covered a wide area of learning. They discussed subiects which dealt with hot spots of the world. U.S. involvement in war. the U.S. Constitution and the understanding of behavior and Dersonalitv traits. When asked her honest opinion about history. |umor Jacquie Hett replied, History has taught me why our world is what it is today!

Forty students decided to flavor their world by taking a German or Spanish course. This number was a definite increase over the year before. Mrs. Good accounted a good share of this to the fact that students can now waive a third social science unit by completing two units of foreign language. She also felt that because of this, foreign language classes would remain a little more stable in the years ahead. When Deb Socolofsky, sophomore, was asked why she took Spanish I. she replied, I thought it would be fun to learn about another culture. Foreign language classes were comprised of Spanish I and III. and a combination of German I and II. New to language students were dialogue, memorized to practice regular conversation. German students were issued new textbooks. In the post, books had been borrowed from Hillsboro High School. Filmstrips were often available for a change in the regular class routine. Julie Gooding, a |unior and a Spanish I student, was asked how lear- ning a foreign language had influenced her. She answered, I have learned to appreciate my own language, and to enjoy comparing and contrasting the two. A German II student, Stephanie Williams, a junior, had a different answer. Learning a foreign language has im- proved my English, and more important it has made me understand other people and their ways of life. Foreign language classes influenced and affected students in many different ways, and it added a special flavor to 1983-1984 school days.

The class of '84 provided leadership in many areas, including sports and academic activities. One of the fun times during the year was home- coming spirit week. The seniors created posters, wore strange outfits and put forth a little extra in order to win that little blue and red stick. The highlight of second semester was the Prom created especially for seniors by the class of '85. The decorations were carried out with the colors of blue and yellow, which were the class colors, and accented by the blue daisy, the class flower. Wearing extravagant tuxedos and elegant long dresses, the centennial seniors spent a romantic evening creating lots of senior memories. Finally it was time for graduation. The 50 seniors had looked forward to this day since the beginning of their freshman year. Many seniors left the halls of MHS to attend col- lege and others prepared themselves for the plunge into the real world which was just ahead of them. The seniors realized that their days at Marion were at a close. When walking through the doors of MHS for the last time perhaps their class motto began to take on new meaning. Remember the past, believe in the pre- sent, dream and work towards the future. Uso Hess smgs the blues os she works in the library. Treasurer 5 Herbel' Pre5,d n'; Jone' He”- V'« T'«V He .

Well, maybe it wasn't that particular era any longer, but cars were still the in thing to have. It didn't matter if it was a '53 Chevy or an '84 Corvette, as long as it had four tires, a motor, and it moved. A lot of fond memories have been planted in the minds of the students of MHS concerning the automobile — like the time Julie Plenert recalled, Kerry Sandwell told me to move his car, but not to hit the big rock flower garden, and of course, the first thing I did was hit it! Luckily. Kerry has a tough rear bumper. Another MHS car caper involved a car that would hold an entire sports team. A mysterious black and white Cadillac began prowling the streets of Marion. When it finally came to a halt in front of the gym and the doors opened, the complete volleyball team boiled out of the vehicle and Nancy Swartz sat grinning behind the wheel. Students learned to steer clear of the gigglin' rig. Remember these funny times as well? Craig Brock finding his car parked in front of the gym instead of where he left it on the street ... the dead snake Brenda Berg found hanging on her steering wheel ... Mike Jordan hitting a car on the highway with a golf ball during practice ... Diane (Opey) Bernhardt's car being so crowded at lunch, that the per- son beside her had to work the accelerator .. when the moon rose while passing the cheerleader van on the way back from a game ... Julie Gooding and Fawn Keith's flat evening in Newton. The time Wes Riggs' radio speaker flew out of his back window. The passengers watched as the semi behind them smashed Wes's lammin' machine. They began to panic however, as Wes craned his neck to view the situation and the car swerved from ditch to ditch. Calmly Wes assured his friends, Do not fear! I was born behind the wheel. Yes, cars were a large part of the Warriors' lives. Whether it was go- ing out on a date, to school, to work, or just cruising around town, the car, no matter what kind, was definitely the way to go!

Feature 19 Instructors Invoke Ingenuity and Involvement Many science students believed they were facing an entire year in the lab cutting up frogs. They soon learned otherwise. Bruce Rhodes, new MH$ Biology and Chemistry in- structor opened the fields of anatomy, heredity, physiology, self-structure and ecology in his Biology classes. Another new addition to the science department's teaching staff. Mr. Don Molleker. taught Physics, which hadn't been offered in the previous years. Mr. Earl Wine- mger completed the science department by teaching General Science. Two credits of science were required by MHS for graduation. Although many students thought that two years were enough, Molleker said he thought it was im- portant for a student interested in college to take Physics also. He believed Physics would improve math techniques, therefore helping prepare one for a |ob in engineering, medical or science fields. Rhodes and Molleker agreed that a Com- puter Science class is also important, since most sciences and almost everything in the future will be run by computer. Rhodes also pointed out that colleges now require a course in Computer Science for admittance. Not only was science available in the classroom, but there was also a Science Club, which offered a variety of experience for the science students. One of the plans for the Science Club was to visit the Wolf Creek Nuclear Reactor. Mike Kelsey and Chns Webb fight the bottle of the grams. Come on Mr Rhodes, have a heart. pleads Craig Brock Kenny Fowler jots down an onswer as Jeff Fitzpatrick probes the inner recesses of his frog 20 Science New Addition Equals Added Interest n The addition of a new teacher to the math department equaled more class offerings and a solution to the '83-'84 curriculum. The math department was divided into two congruent parts, due to enrollment be- ing multiplied. Mr. Rex Wilson, who began his twentieth year os MHS math instructor, gained assistance with the deportment. Mr. Don Melleker took over the Trigonometry and Calculus class, and one Geometry class. Wilson taught General Math, Geometry. Algebra I, and Algebra II. MHS requires only two years for gradua- tion. However, Wilson recommended three or four years of math for the college bound student. Molleker and Wilson agreed that advanced levels of mathematics improve problem-solving ability, and give different techniques for finding solutions. The sum of the '83-'84 mathematical year could have been broken down into the facul- ty. the addition of courses offered, and the belief of the instructors in the importance of mathematics. All of the above components added up to the increased interest and par- ticipation m the field of math for the year. Mr. Wilson exploms on assignment on the overhead pro- tector Math 21 New Course Keys Business Department Success The keyboard no longer referred to the piano during the year at MHS. The business department added to the curriculum with the required Keyboard Machines course. This class involved working with the typewriter, the ten-key adding machine and the microcomputer. Bill Pickering and Helen Rez- nicek, business instructors, both felt that learning keyboard skills with different types of machines helped all students to cope with a future centered around computers. According to Mr. Pickering. General Business is an excellent course for freshmen and sophomores. Everyone planning to go into a business-related field should unders- tand the business and economic environment in which we live and work. General Business helped students develop an understanding of our business system and the economic setting in which we function. Mrs. Reznicek was also the Business Math and Typing II instructor. Reznicek believed that all students should enroll in Business Math because it deals with the math everyone will use in day-to-day living after graduating from high school.

Mr. Molleker felt that everyone should take a course that would introduce them to the computer. Evidently students agreed because enrollment in this class was up com- pared to previous years. The course that MHS offered was more of a programming course and was recommended for students who had previously taken Algebra. The class was never dull. The students en- joyed keeping track on the board of how many mistakes Mr. Molleker made and Molleker’was constantly becoming ''tang tonguled. Computer is a fun class and since everything is becoming computerized, it's beneficial to get the experience now so you'll have it after you graduate. commented junior. Richard Genandt. Molleker. a second year computer teacher, enjoyed teaching, but wasn't sure what the future would bring, although he was planning on going back to school to fur- ther his education. Computer 23 w V Class of '85 It takes — it takes — it takes a little more to be a J-U-N-l-O-R. a Junior! And the doss of '85 possessed that little extra it took to be a Junior in the 1983-'84 school year. Class spirit was strong, and during Queen of Courts Spirit Week it really explod- ed. Junior class cheers, posters, streamers, balloons, and participation in spirit days' ac- tivities won the Spirit Stick for the elated Juniors. In the Old Settlers' Day float contest, the Juniors tasted the thrill of victory for the se- cond year in a row. Their float, featuring Snoopy and the title Snoopy and MHS are Going Places, captured the $50 first-place prize. Planning the Junior-Senior banquet and prom was a huge task, but it was met with determination, creativity, and responsibility. In the fall, candy bars were sold to finance the special occasion. The real work began in early January with planning and organizing, leading up to decorating and last-minute preparations for the night. Many class members, under the leadership of class president Brenda Berg, worked to make the 1984 Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom a memory worth keeping. It was a special class to Mrs. Mary Grif- fith, Jr. English teacher, who thought the Juniors were a close class with a lot of school spirit. They like to joke and have fun, but are supportive and sincere when necessary, she noted. Like their class motto, It's not the size of the man in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the man, the class of '85 had that 'little more' it took to be a Junior. Closs Officers: Brenda Berg.

Roger Hudlm Keeping America on the Grow, Voca- tional Agriculture and FFA was not only the theme for the 1983-84 year, but it was also the incentive for individual member ma- turity. The department, under the direction of Earl Winemger. provided opportunities for the students to develop their interests in various fields of agriculture. The skills learned in the classroom were further stimulated through the experiences offered through FFA activities. The FFA chapter was a leader in its own right. The chapter captured eight firsts out of the fourteen district contests it attended and was also awarded ten of the twenty-two district proficiency awards. It was also the home chapter of the 1983-84 South Central District Vice President, Matt Wmemger and South Central District Sweetheart. Janet Hett. It will house the district president and sweetheart next year. also. The annually attended National Conven- tion took on a new level of enthusiasm this year. Nominated for a National FFA office. Ron Wmemger, MHS Alumni member, brought the FFA closer to home when he was elected National FFA President. Matt Wmemger also claimed national recognition as 1983's National Proficiency Award win- ner in Home and or Farmstead Improve- ment. He was presented with a trip to Europe. The FFA got a kick out of the bi-annually hosted Donkey Basketball game, with the FFA versus the Marion FFA Alumni and local businessmen. In another effort to raise funds for the organization, FFA members manned the concession stand at home basketball and football games. The year was considered by some as a period of change. The new eligibility system caused some contests to be met without the chosen people attending. Officer elections for the 1984-85 school year were held in April instead of at the end of the year so that decisious could be made for the summer and next year. The elections also brought new faces and ideas for bettering the chapter and its outlook. Bret Donnenfelser thinking of the year in review, felt that although the Marion- Florence FFA chapter was involved in many exciting events, the highlight of the year was Ron becoming National FFA President.

Chorus Is a Beat of AAHS Forty-four students introduced The Rhythm of Life to their year by talcing vocal music, directed by Mr. Paul Eckhoff. Robbie Robore Hett. a senior and member of the Mixed Chorus for four years said. The class is educational, it's fun, and it's a good lear- ning experience. Mr. Eckhoff is originally from Aurora. Colorado, and attended Colorado State University in Fort Collins. Colorado. He also taught vocal music in St. Francis. Kansas for four years. This was his first year at Marion High. It was an enioyable year. I've really enpyed working with this choir, Eckhoff commented. The 44 members of the Select Mixed Chorus were a decrease from the previous year. I think they have done very well, con- sidering that they are in transition from 68 to 44 members and have lost a lot of boys. They have done a really good job. Mr. Eckhoff commented. Select Mixed Chorus performed five major concerts over the year, including a perfor- mance at CommencenTent Exercises. Accor- ding to Eckhoff. the real goal for the year in vocal music was to give the best perfor- mance possible each time they performed. Chorus. Swing Singers, and a Girls' Glee Chorus all traveled to Lyons for Regional Music Festival. Each group received a II rating. Sophomore Michelle Thole remarked, I enpyed going to Regional Festival. Being in Girls' Chorus was a lot of fun. and even though we got a II, the good time we haa was worth it! And so, through the lyrics and sounds of the vocal music department, the rhythm of life kept the beat at MHS. 28 Vocal Music Band Is in Tune With Challenges Rhythm, beat, tunes, and dance were all special parts of last hour to the students in- volved in band class. Whether it was march- ing band, pep band, or concert band, the members of the class got'down to the music. John Branson, junior, commented, Having band last hour is a good note to end the day on! The band performed three major concerts. These were a winter concert, a spring con- cert including Awards Night, and a clinic concert directed by Larry Archambo, a graduate assistant at KU. A performance at Commencement Exercises was provided by the band. Members also attended Regional Music Festival in Lyons, receiving a II rating. Fifty-five students were involved in band, an increase of twelve from the previous year. Band mstructer Mike Connell, remark- ed that this was a goal from the year before. Although there were no particular goals set for the band during the school year. Connell also commented that his hopes for the band had been to play more challenging material and play it well. I think a lot of the band. There is a Idt of ability, and they are learning, getting better, and playing more challenging music. I am pleased and proud, he later remarked. David Hanson, senior, also felt that though the band was more challenging, it was more of a reward when we did a good job. A high point of the year was the Old Set- tlers' Day Parade. A new variation was in- troduced when band members danced down Main Street while playing the pop song, Mickey. Doing a dance with our song was really fun. It was new and I think we'll all remember it. It was fun to practice and perform, Tonya Johnson, sophomore, stated. With the new challenges and innovations, band class became a new tune in the melody of the school year. Fingering the keys ore trumpet ployers Brian Kromer.

A per- son in his second year of any endeavor. So said the American Heritage Dic- tionary of the English Language of sophomores, but the 54-member 1983-'84 Sophomore class of MHS was that and more. It was a class with its own unique definition. Sponsor Mr. Rex Wilson chose the name of the book Don't Never Say Cain't to portray the class of '86. They were also described as Karma chameleons — because they change so quickly by biology teacher Mr. Bruce Rhodes. For some, being a sophomore was more challenging than being a freshman, while others thought it was boring. Still others sow it as not getting picked on anymore as freshmen. There were added class requirements ef- fective for the '86 Sophomores including Speech, Health, Typing, and one more unit of Science and Social Science each. Much ex- tra homework came with the added re- quirements. With energetic involvement in school ac- tivities and a wide range of personalities, the class of '86 forged ahead to accomplish a good float, good magazine sales, and high finishes in various contests throughout their sophomore year.

Junior Lorn Chollocombe seems to be saying as her teocher an- nounces the assignments for the next day Textbooks, workbooks, reading, and book reports. Uh oh, yes. you guessed it, English! And in 1984, students tackled it with real fighting spirit! English class brought forth a challenge for all MHS students. Has there ever been a time when it hasn't? And by doing so, it taught many aspects of the language: learning to write in correct form, reading plays by Shakespeare, and occasionally sharing a new joke, or a friendly laugh. Speech, taught by Mrs. Judy Donnenfelser. was introduced to sophomores as a new. one-semester required course. Mrs. Donnenfelser commented on this class by saying, After taking this course, I hope kids will be more responsible for their communication in everyday situations as well os in formal speaking. At midterm, Juniors were surprised by walking into their English class and finding Mrs. Mary Griffith seated in the teacher's desk, instead of Mrs. Barbara (BL) Livingston. Many students were quite pleased with their new teacher, and junior Mike Kelsey commented on his new English teacher by saying, Mrs. Griffith is a good teacher. She explains the work really well, and she's pretty easy to get along with! One requirement of language arts was the emphasis on reading. This made trips to the library a routine experience for most students. Mr. Kirk Newcom. new librarian, offered his help to all those who requested it. Many students found this to be an excellent quiet place to reod the latest news out of magazines and newspapers, and even find a secluded corner to cram for exams! English Expresses Challenge English-Library 33 Students Build Pride and Projects So many times students questioned the reason for doing certam assignments or pro- jects in class. When will we ever use this? was heard time after time by disgruntled students. Not so in Wood and Mechanical Drawing class where students learned the proper use of tools which could add to their livelihood after graduation. Students gamed confidence and pride in themselves and respect for themselves by building useful things of which they could be proud. Many phases of drafting were covered in Mechanical Drawing. The high point for most students was drawing the plans for a garage or perhaps their own home. The skills learned in Wood class were not con- fined to the wood shop alone. These skills turn idle time into time spent performing small household repairs or using their knowledge to begin and perfect a hobby in wood. Projects ranged from sanding blocks and small stools produced in Wood I to a rolltop desk, waterbeds, china cabinets, and coffee tables created in the Advanced Wood class.

Also im- portant was the opportunity to listen to fellow students as each worked toward at- taining their individual goals.

Minds were filled with Great Fx- gS tgri n and the Freshmen faced the year ahead with Trye Grit. Those first few days found the Frosh losing their way and being helped by upperclassmen grinning and say- ing You Can't Get There From Here. And so began the Hurricane Year. The class of '87 did not feel like QlilSldSLJ for long, as Friendly Persuasion from teachers and classmates convinced them to appreciate their Green Years as the beginning of the climb up the l,£2rnin2 Tree.

Creating the 1984 Warrior Yearbook was a team effort that required the time, energy, determination, and patience of each staffer. The yearbook room was a beehive of ideas for a theme and book im- provements during the first few weeks of school. Responsibilities built as the year progressed but pressure really hit with the resignation of yearbook advisor Mrs. Barbara Livingston. The forecast was clouded with staff miscommumcation, photography pro- blems and difficulty in writing copy. One of the bad things about yearbook is that when you're having a real bummer of a week and you sit down to write exciting, fun-to-read copy, all that comes out is BLAH!” said sophomore Fawn Keith, staff writer. Bravely, the crew of three experienced and eight inexperienced year- bookers kept their heads above the flood waters under the faithful guidance of new advisor Mrs. Janet Longhofer. Longhofer's special en- couragement and care buoyed up the staff in fair weather and foul. The MHS Art Dept, also earned special thanks for much time and energy spent helping the Warrior staff with photography and artwork. Selling carnations for Valentine's Day, occasional parties, and the sunny everyday lingo that filled the yearbook room provided fun, laughter, and relief from tension for the rowdy staff of one advisor, two seniors, four |uniors, and five sophomores. And though the goal of yearbook was The Warrior, it was outweigh- ed by the cooperative spirit that was built among staff members. Bring- ing the staff together to work as a unit was what actually brought the yearbook together as a finished product. The challenges and rewards met and gained by the staff proved to be greater than the pages within the covers of the 1984 Warrior.

Many students found themselves spending wee morning hours cramming for that big test after attending a basketball game, concert, or other ex- tracurricular activity. The majority of students agreed that these were well worth the extra time and effort they demanded. When asked her opinion. Chantal Nienstedt, sophomore, said. The activities offered here are really great. They give you the chance to make new friends, develop new skills or better those you have. In my opinion, these oppor- tunities make the time and effort worth it. Sports and music led the list as requiring the most time after school hours for practice and competition. Sports this year has brought everyone closer together as a school. The teams have done well, and I think that it's really improved relations. said Scott Heidebrecht, |umor. Ineligibility requirements were strictly enforced during the '83-'84 school year. Students failing one class or low in two were allowed to participate in activities which took place outside of school hours. Those people failing two classes or low in four were not allowed to participate m most activities as representatives of Manon High School. Coach Bill Pickering was asked his feelings about the ineligibility rule. I think the best aspect of the ineligibility policy is that it is fair. If a student is that low in classes, he or she needs to be spending time with schoolwork. Students in sports have the added responsibility of maintaining passing grades to be able to participate. It's a lot of pressure, but I think sports gives many the incentive to work harder for better grades. According to most students, extracurricular activities were one of the most important spices of school life, leann Snellmg, |unior. related her feelings with the following statement. Extracurricular activities are |ust what the name implies: extra time, effort, and work, but above all. fun! On the Campus and Beyond 39 Volleyball Team Bumps Competition Although fifteen of the sixteen varsity volleyball players were underclassmen, this did not dampen their spirit or hamper their desire to win. The Lady Warriors were under the coaching direction of Mr. Joseph Fassler, new faculty member of USD 408. Before coming to Marion, Fassler, a Kansas Wesleyan graduate, gamed his coaching ex- perience at Russell High School and Kansas Wesleyan. Fassler said he believed the team had many strong points, the most important quality was. the team's ability to play together as a unit. Also, team members backed each other in order to work toward the common goal — winning, he added. The only weak point Fassler cited was that the team as a whole lacked height. This was overshadowed, however, by the fact that the team was always willing to hustle. The Lady Warriors finished their season 9-14. The climax of the year was taking third place in the Burrton Tournament, in which eight teams competed. Senior Tracy Burkholder said. After such a slow start, getting third place was the high point of the season. Sophomore varsity player, Rolana Ludwig said, I really enjoyed being on the varsity squad, because it gave me the incentive to work hard. Here yo‘ 90.

Season play found the Warriors slated against Peabody for the opening contest. The resulting 12-6 win for Marion built team spirit in preparation for the second match against Moundridge. Disappointment reign- ed as the Warriors suffered their first loss. The new eligibility policy plagued the team and the Chase County game was played without five of the original starters. Head coach Bill Pickering felt that playing Udall for the first time and having the team's best offensive night of the year with 242 yards rushing and 175 yards passing, helped improve the team as a whole. One maior loss for the team was the loss of foreign exchange student Alf Tangvald as the kicker. No season would be complete without the rivalry of Marion against Hillsboro. The team was ready to redeem themselves for the scalping they received the previous year, and a pass from Randy Kelsey to Jeff Burkholder placed the Warriors in the lead with a final game score of 6-0. Tracy Hett attained a position on the CVL first team offense as a guard and first team defense os noseguard. Wes Riggs was nam- ed to CVL first team defense as an end. Leading the CVL league in kick off returns with an 18.8 average of yards a carry was Jeff Harper. The Warrior Junior-Varsity breezed to a 3-3 season ending record. When .asked about his outlook for next year, Pickering said he felt that with fifteen returning seniors the team would have some definite leadership.

Monday rolled off to a great start with Concert T-Shirt Day. Everyone wore T-Shirts that advertised his favorite Rock or Country group. Tuesday introduced lots of strange look- ing characters to halls and classrooms for Punk-Out Day. Principal Mr. Bob Brock had only one thing to say about it: I thought some of the students were very clever with their ideas, but I believe some of them haven't stopped yet! On Wednesday everyone came to school in comfortable attire for Sweats Day. Thursday was Warrior Day and throughout the halls were many spirit- crazed students decked out in war paint and moccasins. The Snake Dance and the Burning of the Dummy were held Thursday in spite of the cold, autumn rain. Friday, every student and teacher in one form or another was wearing red and blue, for none other than Red and Blue Day. Each and every class strived to have more spirit than their fellow students in other classes. When the Pep Assembly was almost over, the seniors experienced victory by hav- ing class president Darryl Herbel receive the well-deserved spirit stick. As the afternoon wore into evening, not even the chilly ram could keep most of the Warriors from piling into cars and traveling to the football stadium for the homecoming game against Herington. At halftime, the drum roll began. At long last, former queen Lisa Richmond. '83. handed over her title to new queen Trocy Burkholder. Her attendants Lisa Hess and Lori Vantuyl gazed on. Hess remembered her feelings of the evening when she said, It was like a ride on the Orient Express. You know you're going to have the time of your life, but you're scared to death! The game started up for the second half and although the Warriors lost 0 to 7, it was a close scrimmage. Saturday evening brought the last of the festivities in the gymnasium where the homecoming dance which hod the theme, I Can't Live Without You was sponsored by the MHS Student Council. Braving the edd and wind, homecoming queen candidates Lori Vontuyl. Lisa Hess, and Queen Tracy Burkholder give glowing smiles. 44 Homecoming Kerry Kelsey bestows the trodifionol kiss upon Queen Trocy Burkholder Homecoming 45 Team Hustles for a 10-11 Season Although they needed to work together more as a team at times, according to head coach. Joe Fassler, the Lady Warriors hustled diligently to complete the 1983-84 season with a 10-11 record. The team finished fourth in the Berean Academy tournament with seniors Tracy Burkholder and Lora Wolf chosen as all- tournament players. In the CVL standings, the varsity took fourth and Tracy Burkholder and Lora Wolf received all-league honors. Other starters for the team included Tammy Harris. Nancy Kline, Rochelle Mueller, and April Ogden. The junior varsity clinched first place in league play with a record of 8-1 and a season record of 9-4. Some of the highlights of the season were the defeat of Abilene, a 4A high school, and the winning of the first sub-state game against Hillsboro. When asked what coming off the bench in the varsity game was like, sophomore April Ogden replied. It's easier than starting because it gives me more time to concentrate on the game and see how the other team is playing. Fassler's greatest reward as a coach was working with people who want to play hard to win. GIRLS' BASKETBALL TEAM—FIRST ROW Roquel Allison. Leonn Snelling. Chontal Nienstedt. Michelle Thole.

The Marion Warriors Boys' Basket- ball team experienced both the thrills and agonies by winning 11 and losing 10 games during the 1983-84 basketball season. Coach Marion Ogden led the squad of 26, including six seniors, through the unpredictable season. Co- captains, seniors Randy Kelsey and Bill Shirley, both agreed the team's strong point was the depth of the team's bench. Beginning November 14. practice usually lasted two hours per night. It was worth the effort however to those who wanted to improve their basketball skills. Emphasis was placed on station drills which stressed fundamentals of the game. The season was a see-saw of wins and losses, both by wide and close margins. The team opened the game schedule with a two-point win over Riley County followed by a two-point loss to Chapman. The War- riors rebounded from the first two close contests by winning the next two bouts in 10 and 11 point fashion. According to varsity junior Chris Webb, winning a close game was a lot more fun than demolishing the opposing team, but senior Matt Winemger didn't care either way as long as the opposition was tough. Losing a close match was pretty sickening in Randy Kelsey's words. It meant that the mistakes made were more crucial to the outcome. A good cheering section was like a sixth man on the court for the Warriors. It was a definite factor in the games. Many felt that when the crowd is into it, the team is into it. The most thrilling victory for the squad came in beating Haven against the odds by 6 points. Only four games later, in post-season play, came the most agonizing defeat. Marion lost their first sub-state game to Herington by a last-chance shot in the final second that hit the basket, netting 2 points and a 32-31 victory for the Railroaders. So it ended: the strenuous practices, fast-paced games, fierce competition. Even the agony of defeat could not overpower the thrill for Randy Kelsey who received all-league honors and was elected most in- spirational player by the team. Reflecting on the season, varsity sophomore Mike Bma explained it this way, It's the greatest thrill you'll ever have — to sink a basket, steal the ball, help win the game. 48 Boys' Basketball Success comes from follow-through os Randy Kelsey's special style ■ odds on extro point to the Wornor scoreboard.

Spirit week was boisterous and eventful. The juniors proved their spirit, with balloons and posters covering their line of lockers on the top floor, and their loud voices filling the hallways. Their efforts were enough to bring the doss of '85' warm congratulations, even though the spirit stick, which came up miss- ing. could not be awarded. When junior Julie Plenert was asked how she felt when she found out the class of '85' had the most spirit, she replied. I thought it was pretty 'awesome,' and I think we deserved it! Friday evening finally began, and although the Warriors suffered a loss to Centre. 73 to 50. the crowning of the 1984 Queen of Courts was a memorable occasion. The candidates were seniors Patty Jeffrey, Janet Hett, and Valerie Smith. A candlelight Heart Formation sur- rounded the candidates as they were introduced. As the girls (and the au- dience) held their breath, the an- nouncement was made and Janet Hett was crowned 1984 Queen of Courts by former Queen Jamie Vogel. When asked her reaction upon hearing her’ name called, Janet said. I was scared, nervous, surprised, shocked, and excited all at once! All my emotions were tied up in me going wild! The dance, held on the evening following the game, proved to be a success. The theme Heart to Heart coincided with the upcoming Valen- tine's Day. I After the ceremony.

And the 83-84 track squads followed that rule of thumb. Facing stiff competition, the boys' squad placed second and the girls' squad placed fourth at the CVL meet. According to Mr. Rex Wilson, head track coach, the competi- tion from the surrounding league teams was more intense than previous years, especially for the girls. Lack of depth hindered both squads dur- ing the season. This was a unique situation for the boys, but an ordinary predicament for the girls' team. According to Wilson, there were fewer girls out than boys, because as freshmen, girls don't think they can compete against the seniors, when ac- tually they can. With the boys, it was a dif- ferent story, they know the seniors were bet- ter and that they would have to work diligently in order to secure a spot on the squad. The strength of the boys' squad shone through in the distance and jumping events. A nine member girls' squad was strong in most events. A letter for track participation required 15 points, or a place in an event at a league meet. According to Wilson, most members lettered during the season. Top scorers were Tracy Burkholder. Jeff Burkholder. Randy Kelsey, Leann Snelling, and April Ogden. The most exciting moments of the track season were the good performances at the league meet where some members had their best times and marks of the season.

And in 1984, Coach Bill Picker- ing and the Warrior golfers proved that to be true by being a dedicated and proud team. Putt. eagle, birdie, par, tee the ball up, bogey, double bogey, triple bogey, failure! Do these terms sound familiar? To the 1984 Marion golf team, these words were heard ot every practice and every game. The Warriors spent a lot of practice time out on the green. Each golfer struggled to be the best, in order to be selected for one of those two-, four-, or six- Speoal golfer senior.

When Senior golfer Lora Wolf was asked why she enpyed golf so much, she replied, Every shot is difficult and different in golf; it's never the same ploys over and over again, and that makes the game more of a challenge! And challenge it was. but each and every Warrior on the golf team met that challenge with every ounce of vigor and enthusiasm they possessed, and made the 1984 golf season a hole in one memory.

In summing up a bod day at school. Judy Donnenfelser relies on food communication rather than the spoken word Mass Media communication and increas- ed literacy makes it easier for a person to become associated with a certain word or phrase. For example, if someone said, Let me make one thing perfectly clear. most people would think Nixon, right? Or. What's up. Doc? is immediately assocated with Bugs Bunny. The same holds true for teachers. After sitting in a class for an entire quarter, students begin to notice a favorite phrase us- ed by their notable educators. After speak- ing everyday to six classes filled with students eventually a teacher has a trademark. Below are some of the favorite expressions of MHS teachers. Can you iden- tify them? 1. Tidy Friday. 2. All right now, let's close the mouths and get to work. 3. Bueno. 4. Did I stutter? 5. Just plug it into the equation. 6. Where's your note? 7. Where are your safety glasses? 8. What's the problem? 9. That's a warning! 10. He or she. 11. You twit. 12. That's tough. 13. All right, folks, put your cheat sheets away, it's time for the test. 14. If I were only ten years younger. 15. Goin' fishin today? 16. Let's be respectful. 17. Class, stand up. 18. What's that? 19. Here's a nasty problem.

Mark Bradshaw, in his fourth year as StuCo ad- visor at MHS, stated. We have been in the process of reorganizing StuCo so that it will be a more meaningful and involved organization.' Homecoming and Queen of Courts dances were sponsored by the organization and engraved heart necklaces were provided for all queen candidates. StuCo also spon- sored Awards Night. The North Central Evaluation Committee, comprised of Kansas teachers and ad- ministrators. met with the Student Council during their week of evaluation at MHS. They discussed various concerns such as Stu- dent Council elections, money-raisers, and student get-togethers other than dances. Several new ideas were explored for the upcoming school years, including a public pay phone, a student lounge, and student parking lot. Bradshaw said that emphasis on the 1984-85 school year would be in discovering new ways to raise school spirit North Central Evaluation Committee met with various groups including StuCo and pride.

Marion High Future Homemakers of America, of course! Former Home Economics instructor, Polly Ferrell, led the Marion FHA chapter until her move to Colby. Kansas. Kathy Patterson followed her as both instructor of the doss and advisor of the organization. FHA is an experience in finding the many valuable op- portunities in home economics and related careers, said Miss Patterson. The 9 to 5 theme for the year was the focal point for many entertaining parties and meetings. Officers began the year with a membership drive which resulted in 23 FHA'ers for 1983-84. Each monthly meeting carried out the career-oriented theme with speakers representing varying occupations and fields of work. Many outside school activities were en- loyed also. One highlight was the Mr. FHA contest in which five boys, Jeff Conyers, Matt Wmeinger. Robbie Hett, Rod Jirak, and Mark Hockensmith, competed for the title. The winner was determined by his success in carrying out such tasks as diapering a baby or peeling a tomato. Robbie Hett walked away with the title. Christmas was celebrated with a party for little friends of FHA'ers. and those who attended decorated cookies, played games, and visited with Santa Claus. The organization also sold Tupperware to raise funds. FHA—FIRST ROW: Melissa Knspense. Tommy Horns. Jane� He� � . Robin Wmemger. Advisor Kathy Patterson SECOND ROW Noncy Kline. Potty Jeffrey.

The select group consisted of twenty singers (10 male voices and 10 female voices), and on accompanist. The members were auditioned and selected on their musi- cianship and general attitude toward school and hard work. Steph Williams, junior, expressed her opi- nion when saying, It takes alot of extra time and hard work, but you get extreme pride when you do well. Dedication was proved by meeting on Monday and Wednesday mornings from 7:30 to 8:15 for practice. Their practices proved successful by earning a II rating at the Regional Music Festival. Mr. Paul Eckhoff. director, complimented the group by saying. They are very good at performing all types and styles of music, and many selections that they perform are of college-level difficulty.

Sixteen other band students joined him in experiencing this feel for music with a less formal instructional technique by par- ticipating m the MHS |Ozz band. Members were selected by their ability and the instrumentation needs of the group. The purpose of the small band was to in- troduce the students to the different styles and forms of music relative to the |Ozz medium. Jazz band performed for several com- munity activities including Chamber of Com- merce. Farmer's Appreciation Banquet. Winter Choral Concert, and the Marion Community Arts Council Membership Drive. Michele Bina and Mike Stewart both agreed that the highlight of the year was the Pops Concert. Mr. Mike Connell, director, enjoyed the group immensely because of the closer contact with the individual students.

Helping promote the interest in Spanish and providing educational activities dealing with Spanish were the purposes of the club, according to Mrs. JoAnn Good, sponsor. Lead by officers, Melanie Conyers, presi- dent; Tammy Harris, vice-president; Lisa Hess, secretary-treasurer; and Janet Hett. stu-co representative, the organization met the fourth Friday of each month. The meetings consisted of business, planning the skating and pinato parties, and discussing the 1985 trip to Mexico. The trip will be available for any student of MH$ enrolled in Spanish I or II. One of the plans for the com- ing year is to organize a fund-raiser to help provide money fr some of the students in- terested in going. According to Mrs. Good, the future may find the Spanish Club becoming a foreign language organization to accommodate both German and Spanish students.

Honors and Athletic Banquets 61 Who's Who MHS There were mony condidotes, but no red. white, and blue voting booths, political par- ties, or age limits as students voted for their favorites in the year-end poll of Who's Who in MHS. Following an idea of the seniors, surveys of the classes were made by the yearbook staff to find out who the students thought was 'smartest' or 'best-looking' in each class. This wasn't as easy as it appeared. This is hard! I wish we could do it on a dif- ferent class, exclaimed junior Tomi Monroe, expressing the attitudes of many. Many people received votes in each category, bringing some results down to the wire, and including several ties. The final tallies were fascinating and fun, as well os expected and startling.

Feature 63 Juniors and We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow ...” The night of May 5, 1984 belonged especially to the Juniors and Seniors of Marion High School for the annual Junior- Senior Banquet and Prom. Drizzly gray skies couldn't dampen the party spirit of the promenaders, who. wear- ing tuxes and formals, strolled into Eastmoor United Methodist Church at 6:00 p.m. The banquet was opened by junior class presi- dent Brenda Berg, with a welcome and a poem for the senior class. Darryl Herbel. senior class president responded with ap- preciation for the junior class efforts in plan- ning and preparing the prom. After the meal of baked steak, rolls, corn, baked potato, salad, and chocolate cake, juniors Mike Kelsey and Bret Dannenfelser read senior class wills and prophecies. Mike Stewart and Michele Bma closed the banquet with the theme song We've Got Tonight. Servers for the banquet were sophomores: Michelle Thole, Tracey Long, Stacey Long. Kodi Sader, Kelley Enos, Jane Silhan, Mike Bina. Trent Richmond. Jeff Fitz- patrick, Kevin Burkholder, Kenny Fowler, and Brian Dannenfelser. At 9:00 p.m. guests entered the dimly lit gym over a white wooden bridge and found themselves in a cloud of pink and white. The streamers made a canopy, separating the couples from the rest of the world for that one special evening together. A gazebo in oink, white, and lavender led to the dance Stephanie Williams and IQstrino Moore ore only two of the many hardworking tuniors who put the Prom together Beginning the festivities, seniors Darryl Herbei and Cyndi Seniors Kerry Mogothon ond Jolene Smith share the Woerz ore the first couple to promenade speciol moments of their last promenode 64 Prom Seniors floor where sounds of the Kansas City band Back Streets set the mood for the night. Midnight ended the magical hours of danc- ing, but many wanted to keep that special night as their own. Some headed for the breakfasts served at Jeff Conyers' and Chris Meierhoff's houses, while others drove to Newton to enjoy dinner at the Russell's III Restaurant. Though the banquet and dance lasted on- ly a few hours, We've Got Tonight was more than just a theme to those who made the night their own. Those unforgettable moments provided memories that will con- tinue in hearts and minds for many years to come. Sophomore servers Kelley Enos ond Mike Bino announce the promenodmg couples.

Such was the theme of the old-fashioned melodrama Little Mary Sunshine by Rick Besoyan which was presented by the Marion High School Vocal Department on March 30 and 31 in the Marion City Building. A crowd of approx- imately 500 came to share in the three hours of entertainment. The action of the evening centered around the heroine Little Mary, a Colorado Inn pro- prietress, and the hero. Big Jim Warington, of the Forest Rangers. Big Jim, in love with Mary, strived to protect his innocent Mary from the wicked pursuit of the evil Indian Yellow Feather. Many subplots involving Chief Brown Bear of the Kadota Indians; Nancy Twinkle, the maid; the six forest rangers and the young ladies from Eastchester Finishing School; an opera singer, Ernestine von Liebidich; and Unde Oscar Fairfax pro- vided cornball comedy and just plain fun. The firewater and Indian disco initia- tion of Corp. B.J. as the adopted son of Chief Brown Bear seemed to be the most hilarious and memorable moment of the musical, although the cast party and curtain calls also provided special recollections. Mr. Paul Eckhoff directed the production, accompanied by Marianne Effa, a Tabor College student. Behind-the-scenes help of about 25 students and adults stood backstage ready to assist with make-up. costumes, lights, props and all other odd jobs necessary to the success of the perfor- mance. It was an exhausting, exhilarating and stimulating experience in the words of Mrs. Mary Griffith who helped with make- up and staging. Involvement in the musical was not only fun, but a learning experience. The extra time and effort required for success was a lesson for all.

The realization that rehearsal and actual performance were far from the samt brought butterflies to the stomachs y everyone making a stage entrance. The glare of the lights, the feel of the make-up and the faces in the crowd wert' forgotten as each actor became his or he character in the play. As the curtains closed on the final act the students realized that the curtain had foller on one of the best times of the 1983-8-: year. The first feeling you got was: H j over? You don't want it to end, said Mike Stewart. Make-up. costumes, breathing exercises 65 hours of exhausting practice ... it wo- worth all the effort to cast members an crew. Yes, it was worth it!

Commencement and Baccalaureate exer- cises were held on May 20 at 4 p.m. In celebration of the MHS Centennial Class, graduation was held in the Marion City Park. The weather cooperated with the school plans and the day boasted blue skies and worm temperatures. Music provided by the high school band filled the park as an estimated 1,800 people seated themselves. The graduating seniors marched through the park to the familiar strains of the band playing Pomp and Circumstance. Senator Bob Dole highlighted the after- noon with the featured address. Senator Dole spoke to the seniors of the many pro- blems facing them upon graduation and their responsibilities toward the American people. Reverend Viets presented the Bac- calaureate service. The mixed chorus sang Life is a Celebration in honor of the occa- sion. Randy Mills, president of the Board of Education, presented each senior with a diploma marking 12 years of education. Clasping the diploma, each graduate crossed the stage and shook hands with Principal Bob Brock and Superintendent Dar- ryl Woodson before turning their tassels. The Commencement and Baccalaureate exercises were followed by a reception pro- vided by the Chamber of Commerce. Jeff Burkholder. Lisa Hess, ond Mike Bntton leave high school doys behind.

Graduation 69 Awards Night Honors Achieving Students The sound of music, the sight of students dressed in tormals and tuxes, the elation of receiving an award and the applause of the observers are among the special memories lighting our minds from the spring concert and Awards Night. The unique evening, sponsored by StuCo. was held May 17 in the MHS gymnasium. Juniors Patty Carroll and Joe Hockensmith hosted the evening. Performances by the band and choir were provided and awards were presented to those students who qualified. Awards were given in FHA. art. band and vocal music, science, and foreign language. Students involved in Student Council, and office assistants were also presented with certificates. Mrs. Janet Bryant of the Marion community presented prizes for the David Bryant Peace Scholar- ship. Senior Janet Hett received first place and freshman Joan Vinduska took second. The happiness, pride, and a tear here and there among the audience were the background and setting of on evening made of excitement. The stars were our very own MHS students who had used their talents and abilities to be deserving of the awards they achieved.

The office seemed to give forth an aura of foreboding. When asked their feelings about being called to the office, most students recalled thinking, Oh, my gosh, what have I done now?! Kathy Patterson. MHS faculty member, responded with. Oh dear. I've been fired! when asked to report to the office. The office certainly was the center of MHS life. Students, teachers, administrators, parents, sales representatives, and even Chester bustled in and out daily. The door to this hive of activity was certainly the most used piece of equipment in the school. Perhaps it would have been wise to replace it with one of the revolving variety, for it was. by the end of the year, tired and well-worn. In the Office 71 Administration Evaluates Educational Program There are many levels of education in school District 408. and the backbone of the district is the administration. The mam pur- pose of the administration is to help further the education of the students. One positive way the administration at- tempted to better the education of students at MH$ was with the North-Central Evalua- tion Team. The North-Central Evaluation (NC) is a team that examines the educa- tional setting of the school district and assesses the effectiveness of the school pro- gram itself, including setting goals for com- ing years. When asked what he thought about NC, Mr. Woodson said. Purposes for self-studies should be evident. We should be able to benefit from periodic assignments of internal processes used to accomplish stated goals and objectives. Other ways in which the administration affects the students can range from cooking the meals and balancing the budget to car- ing for the grounds and buses. The ad- ministration may feel at times that their work is not greatly appreciated, but students cer- tainly benefit from their effort. Principal.

Business people and parents alike contributed by helping at the Marion Track Quadrangular, purchasing yearbook ads. buying FFA fruit, sponsoring banquets, and other such activities. The coaches really appreciated the help of the students and other people in the community at the track meet. They did on excellent job. said Mr. Rex Wilson, head track coach. Yearbook ads were purchased by businesspeople and patrons in the Marion. Florence. Hillsboro, and Cottonwood Falls communities. These ads financed The Warrior and made it what it is today. The Marion Florence FFA had numerous supporters in the communi- ty. They backed the organization in many ways including purchasing fruit and providing funds for students to attend the Washington Con- ference Program. The annual Honors and Athletic Awards Banquets were sponsored by the Manon Kiwanis. Churches, the City of Marion, and other busmesses were always willing to loan tables for the Athletic Awards Banquet and the FFA Chapter Banquet. The community helped in numerous other ways to make the 1983-84 school year memorable. The students of Marion Hiqh would like to say Thanks.

They had a tang that will never be tasted again, something special that only we who savored it will recall. We shared sweet memories. Remember when Ron Wine- mger, MHS graduate, was elected National FFA President; Senator Robert Dole saluted our centennial seniors; the excitement of the 1984 presidential primaries; we watched U.S. skier Bill Johnson win the gold medal in the downhill event of the '84 Winter Olympics; our prayers were answered when Dale Peterson recovered from an accident with his horse? Mingling with the sweet ore bitter recollections. Fourteen students quit school during the year; the snow and ice storm in March closed school for two days as well as nearly disabling the entire community; Mrs. Pat Jackson broke her ankle; the Yearbook staff nearly went bald from pulling out hair over the countless photographic and writing frustrations; we faced a national debt of $6,(XX).000,000.000 (six trillion dollars); Russia and other Communist countries boycotted the '84 Summer Olympics held in Los Angeles. 1984 was a time for growing up — learning to cope with everyday frustrations, family problems, tougher school work, life's pressures and learning to take the bad with the good. It was a year for relishing each moment to its fullest, then letting go and moving on. 1984 is post. The foretaste of tomorrow beckons us with the spice of mystery and opportunity. We have more growing to do. new life to ex- perience. a future to explore, dreams to realize. As we travel on separately, let's not forget perhaps the most impor- tant element of all: that each one of us was a necessary ingredient to the whirl of flavors that made 1984 extraordinary. So let's continue to savor the flavor of 1984 forever.
