I justvfjgnished eating lunch and was takin? my tray back. We had had hamburgers and I guess there was some mustard on the floor 'cause I slipped and fell. Of course it had to be a day when I wore a dress. I was laughing so hard I couIdn't even get up I was chewing some gum that a friend gave me. Everyone was laughing at me and I couldn't figure out why until they told me it was a spearmint-flavored laxative! . . .

There I was, utterly confused, standing out- side wonderihg if I should risk it and go ,in anyway or just forget the whole thing .. . lsn't it funny that the times we remember most are those moments of embarrassment?

Singing down the halls, screaming our lungs out for our team, wearing ridiculous clothes, hamming it up for the camera, pulling pranks, and just being ourselves.. All these things put smiles on our faces and added life to an otherwise drag of a day. We may have been a little crazy.

Likewise, the mem- bers of the MHS musical Camelot strove united to resurrect the days of chivalry. No one said it would be easy. With encounters of late and difficult practices, elaborate and often bulky costumes, and the prospect of constructing a veritable castle on stage, it seemed that walking back centuries in a matter of weeks may have been too much to ask of a now generation. But, despite innumerable problems, including split-second costume changes, opening night came. As Friday night approached, I was filled with the anticipation of a new experience. Right before the show started, we all became 'citizens of Came- lot'. It was exciting. -Brenda Hoch, sr. Although the first night presented a perfection never achieved in a rehearsal, it dimmed the pros- pect of the second performance. I think it was an incomparable experience in teamwork. Everyone knew they had a job to do and nobody let down, even when we thought there was no way we could do as well the second night. -Greg Thyr, sr. But, like King Arthur's Court, everyone aimed for and achieved more than perfection that night. And as the crowd rose in a standing ovation, Camelot ceased to be a far off legend but became a deeply cherished memory. CAST OF CHARACTERS Sir Lionel .....................

This question, echoed by Peter Van Daan in the drama The Diary of Anne Frank could also be asked of the entire east. Here we are, practicing every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday night, along with many Sunday after- noons, and all for what? To be a part of a success- ful drama, that's what! Contrary to the plays selected for the past two years, The Diary of Anne Frank took on a serious tone although it had its lighter moments. The story was based on a young girl's interpretation of living conditions for eight people during the troubled times in World War ll. Rhonda Heinze, director, frequently reminded the cast of the seriousness of the play and added that no one would be able to joke their way out of a sticky situation as is true with comedies. For the first time in the five year history of the all- school play, admission was free. This was done in hopes of creating a larger audience, which it did. To create the needed atmosphere for the audi- ence, actual film clips from World War ll were shown to educate those who didn't know and re- mind those who had forgotten of the destruction of the Jewish race. The rest, the actors supplied. The play combined many dramatic elementsg drama, comedy, romance, adventure and fear. For the actors, this made it fun and a challenge. We got really scared after the two dress rehearsals, but we managed to pull it all together in the end. - Joel Despain, jr.

'Reach out, reach out' Students serve the community Reach out, reach out and touch someone. Sound familiar? That's the Southwestern Bell Tele- phone Company's advertising slogan. Calling long distance is very special but Community outreach touches people too. Many MHSers were involved throughout the community, along with several clubs. The local government work program involved many students and was sponsored by Clinton Brown. Stugo helped with the Pride Clean-up Day. Other students were involved with Scouts, Volunteens,Work Study, The- atre Guild and recreation committees at the YMCA. Community Orchestra was another activity in which many students participated. Mass Media and Psychology l and ll, taught by Barb Cole and Rich Settle, were two outreaching classes. Psychology classes visited Northview Man- or to learn about elderly people and their behavior patterns. The Mass Media class taped a radio show every Wednesday informing the community of news and upcoming events at MHS. There were quite a number of students helping teachers at Park School throughout each day. Vol- unteer Service, Work Study and Psychology Lab classes involved students who wished to help in community affairs. Church was another active area with students participating in Wednesday night youth groups, choirs and church league basketball. A few of the money-making projects for the com- munity that MHSers took pride in helping with were the National Mothers March for the March of Dimes and the Bike Walk for Mankind.

Randy White, sr., representing Stugo, served as emcee for the variety and talent show. Arriving late with wet hair and a bath robe, Rex Butterfield, sr., aided Randy. Numerous solos and duets highlighted the re- laxed atmosphere. Mellow songs such as The Rose, Looking Through the Eyes of Love, and Midnight Blue flowed. Two acts featured original songs by individuals with either guitar or piano accompaniments.

Residents and students joined in for the 67th annual All Schools Day celebration, A Hatful of Memories . Friday morning dawned windy and overcast, a seemingly usual occurrence, but then skies cleared a few minutes before parade time. The skies re- mained clear from the passing of the flag to the very last horse. Red, white and blue could be seen down the entire length of Main Street as parade viewers were given American flags to wave. Beautiful weather allowed the May Fete to be held in the bandshell. May Queen Susan Schmidt and Prince Charming Greg Leonard represented MHS as reigning royalty, and the Mixed Ensemble sang Friendship . Lakeside Park was filled Friday afternoon by peo- ple viewing the crazy antics at the Madathon. A broomstick race, toilet paper relay, egg toss, water balloon toss and combination relay were the events , featured. The traditional jazz concert concluded May Day festivities. MHS's Jazz Ensemble kicked off the evening, followed by the Hutchinson Community College Jazz Band. Nauseating rides and games of chance at Toby's Carnival were once again favorites of the May Day festivities. Another favorite activity was the weekend Senior Party. Students and graduates alike attended the three-day celebration at Bluff Creek at Kanopolis Lake. 30 ' May Day iutfat Work before 3-day party We began taking dona- tions in November and put the money in a savings account, which gave us the funds to get tickets printed. Five- hundred tickets were made and 168 sold. There were 12 people selling tickets and the most sold was 40 tickets by Joe Giuffre. The ticket sales gave us 5420, covering the cost of 12 kegs, 1000 cups and the ice. The money leftover was given to the Jeff Holtzclaw memorial. We ordered the kegs around the first of March which meant we had to guess how much money and beer we would need. Joe Giuffre had a trailer that we stored the kegs in and Steve Weis donated his stereo. Tanks were borrowed to keep the ice and kegs in. Joe Giuffre and Doug Strawn made signs and got the trailer ready. The party was a success, and the tickets read, Help Us Celebrate! and boy, did every- one celebrate the graduation of the class of 1980! By Beth Schroeder, sr. May Day ' 31 Small crowds attend Tourney program sales drop Even though 200 fewer copies of the McPherson Invitational Basketball tournament program were ordered this year, even the reduced amount couldn't all be sold to the small crowds attending the tournament. The 32 page book with a glossy white front cover and red back was compiled by a staff of six. They were aided by the Journalism-l students who sold the bulk of the 148 ads in the program. The process, which started with the selling of the ads in December, ended on Jan. 14 when the final layouts and pictures were delivered to the printer.

The major change was the addition of a four-color photograph. A misunderstanding with the printer over the amount of color occurred so only one color photo could be used. Spot color borders, however, -were utilized around some black and white photo- graphs. i. The cost for the color picture was raised by l selling more patron ads. Quill and Scroll members sold five patron ads each along with the five pa- trons sold by each of the 22 staff members. A total of 188 patrons and 19 display ads were sold. An addition to ln Touch was the DECA Dia- mond poems. The i2 diamond winners were placed on a page before the advertising section. These poems contained five lines where two opposite con- cepts were compared. Staff meetings took place on Wednesday morn- ings at 8 a.m. These meetings laid the ground work ifor the magazine. Major decisions such as color and lcover were decided at these early-morning meet- lings. Art and literature were selected by art and editori- lal boards. Both boards had evening meetings to lmake their selections. The literary board had to narrow the field of 87 entries to 33. Other changes in the 42-page magazine were moving the index to the front and also changing the cover to a circle cut-out with a picture showing through. The work submitted showed how talented MHS students are. We tried to make pages more full to give more students the chance to have their work ipublishedf' - Sara Studer, editor.

Dressed in Hawaiian style clothing, Ronnie Ediger and Juli Rierson, sophs., greeted prom-goers by placing colorful leis around their necks. From the totally tropical atmosphere involving a grass hut covered with fishnet and shells for an entranceway, it would only have seemed proper for Ricardo Montaban to be standing there in a white suit saying, Welcome to Fantasy Island. Nevertheless, couples got a taste of that island atmosphere by sipping pineapple punch and nib- bling on orange, papaya and coconut slices. Even the band reflected the theme by dressing in Hawaiian shirts and playing the theme song, Two Tickets to Paradise. Kenny's Photography handled the taking of prom pictures. Girls sat in a wicker chair with the guys standing close by in front of an oceanic sunset background, capturing the total mood. A quick change of clothes after the dance and couples were ready for a long evening of fun. Some headed for the lake while others stayed in town to bowl, roller skate, and swim at the YMCA. Two showings of The Return of the Pink Pan- ther gave prom-goers a good laugh, or for some, the opportunity to sink down in the chair for a few moments of shut-eye.

Working on projects, dances, parties and other activities brought us closer together as we coordinated all those events that made high school fun. Even though crawling out of bed early for a meeting or working overtime wasn't the greatest, the effort seemed worthwhile when we accom- plished something. Teamwork and responsibility were required to get things done and we had fun doing it. Parties and get-togethers gave us a chance to be with friends having similar interests from speak- ing a foreign language to farming, cooking and sewing together.

Canned goods were included in the admission fee which were then donated to the Churches United Ministry. Stugo was pleased with the success of Winter Homecoming.

By Neal Beam FFA members started the year off right with the annual summer party at Kanopolis Lake only to find that some of those farm boys couldn't swim. A variety of workshops kept the new officers busy during the annual State FFA Leadership Camp at Rock Springs Ranch in July. New members were welcomed into the chapter at the annual watermelon feed in Lakeside Park. Initiation exercises meant a day of carting their books in a bucket, wearing overshoes and generally looking ridiculous. Surprisingly, all the members that attended the barn burner party in November survived the wild hay-rack ride through a rough milo field. Seven members attended the 52nd annual Na- tional FFA Convention in Kansas City accompanied by their faithful driver and adviser Glenn Stucky. Various contests kept members busy throughout the year and the hard work was reflected in the good showing for McPherson at the three-day State Contest in Manhattan. Besides the contests, there was always time for fun which included remodeling the motel rooms with plastic pipe and having late night card games in which only one person came out a winner. The FFA activities came to an end May 5th with the Annual FFA Parent and Member Banquet. The dinner featured a whole hog roasted over charcoal - delicious!

Seven other students earned entry by accumulat- ing the required 50 points doing such activities as covering a beat and changing the message center. All 11 were also required to be in the top third of their class. The evening started at Joel Despain's home where members and initiates shared delicious food. With satisfied stomachs, they moved on to the high school's Little Theater for the formal service.

An annillo de pan, or ring of bread, was pre- pared by Sharon Ray, sponsor, as it is traditionally eaten during Christmas festivities. Inside the bread was a small coin and the lucky person who found it was given the privilege of bringing refreshments to the next meeting. We had lots of fun making the pinatas. lt was such a mess!

As in years past, the German Club sold the deli- cious yet rubbery Gummi Bears to eager custom- ers. Although most of the 80 boxes were sold within a week, students began to tire of the chewy candy. However, members of the German Club persisted in their efforts to sell the remaining bears and suc- ceeded. When l got around to selling them, everybody was all gummed out so they didn't sell too fast. - Daniel Hein, soph. The German Club observed the German holiday Oktoberfest by travelling to the Union Station in Wichita for the celebration. German exhibits, food and dances were all part of the festivities. We got to see a lot of the different customs, but l expected a little bit better and more detailed dis- play of German things. lt seemed just like a yard sale. -Juli Rierson, soph. For Christmas, the club held a caroling party in which members travelled to homes where they sang traditional German carols. After riding the hay- rack back to school, they downed cookies, pepper- nuts and hot apple cider. During a previous meet- ing, the students created straw and wheat orna- ments for the Christmas tree in the language room and were treated to a slide show of German scenery by Lori Shepherd. The German Club traveled to the Hesston Colo- nial House Restaurant in January and dined on choice German dishes such as Verenike, Leber- wurst, Bratwurst, and German chocolate cake.

Looking back, it may seem like just another school year. But there was a lot going on at MHS that's well worth remembering. And that's what Bullpup lllustrated is all about. By capturing a few major events in pictures and words, the memories of 1979-80 may become a little more mean- ingful to all of us. Recalling the day of the secret assem- bly, the big flood, a special concert or an exciting weekend can turn just another school year into something really special. Memories are important. So, with the help of Bullpup lllustrated, your memo- ries might linger throughout the years, making 1979-80 something more than just another school year. 4 1.

And at 3:15 p.m. your body and brain both go on strike. Well, that's not true for everyone. It's surpris- ing to know how many students put in overtime before and after hours for various reasons. Andrea Duncan, sr., kept busy before hours until her unusual form of exercising got the ax. Before the office made me quit, I used to rollers- kate every morning. I'd usually go 20 to 30 laps. After that, I went out to the AC and talked to friends or did last minute homework. -Andrea Duncan, sr. Cramming from 8 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. was very common. However, for some, morning cram ses- sions were impossible. Every morning I work at Carol Lee Donuts. To be at work by 6 a.m., I have to wake up at 5 a.m. But it's worth it because I get donuts every morning for breakfast and I never get sick of them. -Donny Pennington, jr. Club meetings often took place before school in order to avoid conflicts with jobs and athletic prac- tices. Hi-steppers were also early risers. Seven-thirty a.m. practices on the gym floor kept them from tangling with the athletic teams for the Round- house. After school I go to practice and work and sweat, and work, and work and sweat, and sweat and work, and sweat . . . ljust get plum worn out. Sometimes l even get tired just watching the other guys work out! -Jeff Peterson, soph. A lot of activities took place after school such as cheerleading practice, yearbook and newspaper work, jobs, and of course the dreaded detentions. Not everyone has enough energy to get up early or keep going strong after hours, but it's surprising how many people do. Before And After Hours ' 55 56 0 Flood by Joel Despain Halloween 1979 proved to be a very wet one and for at least three MHS students and one teach- er, also a very frightening one. With the rains beginning about 9:30 that Tues- day morning, McPherson endured one of the hea- viest rains in many years. ln McPherson, KNEX radio station recorded a total of 6.87 inches. Water beds flooded and the usual problems began with flooded wheat fields, leaking roofs Cespecially at the McPherson Public Libraryj and wet brakes on cars. Driving to TGGY to purchase costume material for the all-school musical Camelot, Theodessa Saffer found the parking lot there flooded but was guided in by two truckers. However, the purchase complet- ed, her troubles began as she tried to leave the flooded area. By that time it had become a lake. As her cor was caught in the swirling currents, she was swept into a ditch. What an unusual and eerie experience it must have been to be floating down- stream sideways in a car! Because her car had power windows and with the pressure of the rising waters, she could not escape from her car. The water had reached almost to her chin when rescue came in the form of two men, Bryan Smith and Ralph Tompkins, who were driving by on the highway adjacent to the ditch, saw her plight, used a wrench to break into her back window and pull her out only moments be- fore the car did a final nosedive. It's the kind of thing that you don't ever think about. lt always happens to someone else, Mrs. Saffer said. Most people don't seem to realize how fragile a life is. l felt as though I were a character in an Edgar Allan Poe horror story. Still another hair-raising experience took place on that some wet Halloween. Three adventure- some MHS boys, Joel Despain, jr., Kurt Johnson, soph., and Kirk Kethcerside, jr., saw that the flood waters had created an excellent lake on which to canoe. Since all three had canoed extensively, there were no warning signals. However, their ex- perience did not extend to what they encountered that night. The mistake came as they decided to cross the main body of the stream and misjudged the current. After various tries at other means of escape from the island they had found, a deci- sion was made to swim around the swiftest part of the current over to the railroad bed. However, even this slower current proved to be foo fast. Kirk and .loel grabbed ahold of the last branch of the last tree before the railroad trestle was submerged. At the time the boys were caught in the water, they said they never once thought about death. lt was only after they had ahold of a tree limb and were safe that worry set in. For these four MHSers, Halloween was not only very wet in 1979 but very scary as well. X Q4 .1 ,AING dill... rillY M, ,vawr jx ,' 'L , s r v , 'fc iitt 1-:'a.'fif y y , 4, y 1.

T-...Q rn., ww, One major change was undoubtedly noticed dur- ing the winter - thermostats were set at 65 de- grees. Chills swept the coat-clad students. Cries of, lt's freezing in here! and Where's my hat and mittens? echoed throughout the halls. Vacations and breaks offered a change of pace from the monotonous, never-ending task of going to school. For many students, particularly this year, short breaks came unexpectedly in the form of suspensions. l had fun at home and l didn't miss anything, said one suspendee. New faces appeared the first day of school as five Vietnamese students enrolled. Usually, the first day is mounted with excitement for everyone: yet, for these students, the day proved to be full of mystery and wariness. January 21 marked a day to go down in history for MHS sports. A new school record wasn't set nor did a team win a state championship, but T.J. CTeddy Jockj was kidnaped! During the girls basketball tournament at New- ton, TJ. mysteriously disappeared. A S15 reward was offered but still no TJ. Weeks went by and Teddy Jock was finally replaced by T.J. Junior. Then, on Feb. 19, a package came in the mail containing the long lost bear, Teddy Jock, and they were reunited once again. Each year captures lingering memories and pleasant surprises. Whether the memories prove meaningful or not, they still provide a break from the ho-hum of going to school. 58 0 Out Of The Norm G50 Photo By Chris Stewert It was like any other normal day except for the special assembly that morning, and no one knew what it was for. It had to be something big because the school board members were there as well as area newsmen and cameramen. One pop- ular guess what that it was the end of our open lunch period. There was a moment of anticipation as we watched Keith Rickner, principal, walk up to the microphone. Relieving everyone, Mr. Rickner said, The purpose of this assembly is NOT to take away the open lunch period. Then, why the big secret? What else could it be? Just then the lights from the television camera flashed on and Jackie Engel, journalism and English teacher, was named the Newspaper Fund's Na- tional Journalism Teacher of the Year. It came as a surprise to Mrs. Engel as well as to both students and faculty. Teary-eyed and filled with surprise, Mrs. Engel received a standing ova- tion as she graciously accepted a bouquet of red roses from Mr. Rickner. Thomas Engelman, Executive Director of the Newspaper Fund, presented her with an engraved plaque noting her well-deserved achievement. ln honor of Mrs. Engel, a 51,000 scholarship was awarded by the Newspaper Fund to Barb Friesen, sr., after competing with eight other seniors in a journalism exercise written under deadline. Jackie is an outstanding example of both teach- ing and advising. Anyone who knows Jackie knows that she really deserves this award. lt was not given to her but presented to her because she has earned it in the past years, said Mr. Rickner. The Bullpup Staff agrees with this comment whole-heartedly and would like to congratulate Mrs. Engel for her honored achievement. Although she is a very demanding advisor, we recognize this as her way of showing us she cares and proving to us that we are capable of achieving even the highest goals. 1.

Journalism Teacher Of The Year 0 59 1 flff X ,..- '- The beginning of a new decade brought new and different ideas to MHS, and whether we were the trendsetters of the followers we did it in style to ring in the Eighties. A strange but popular fad for everyone was to wear a liileigreen Heinz pickle Spin on the collar. After wearing the pickles during several perfor- mances, the Mixed Ensemble became known as The MHS Singing Pickeloes. Where the pickles came from and who started the fad remains a mystery to many. The sophomore class started a new phrase as a practical joke when, during an assembly, they shouted, Hey Seniors!! . . . Nuthin'. Subtle sophistication and shape became the sig- nature for clothes. Girls could be seen walking down the halls wearing blazers with a combination of skirts, slacks, or jeans. Dresses and skirts were slit and some were worn with textured hose. Thirty-six dollar jeans with designer labels such as Clavin Klein, Gloria Vanderbilt, and Joseph Sas- son replaced the traditional Levi's and pre-washed denims. Color had a big impact on clothes, both drastical- ly and dramatically. The basic darks such as brown, grey, and blue were classics once again, only this time they were revolutionized by splashing on vi- brant, bright, sparkly accents. Belts, necklaces, earrings and bracelets came in bright colors such as fushia, turquoise, royal blue, and bright red, symbolizing our changing times. The guys knew what was in-style too, as their shirt collars were tucked neatly inside their sweat- ers and their hair was kept moderately short and feathered back. Soft-knit leisure suits were replaced by dressy three-piece suits in cotton and polyester blends. For the comfortable casual look, cowboy hats and logo caps were worn along with cowboy boots, hiking boots, Nikes and blue jeans. The clothes we wore, the words we spoke, and the things we did were reflections of the years 1979-80. 60 ' Fads And Fashions . , LAN 63,575 Lg -,Mes , la, 4: . 3 W , Q, l ' I ,,,, Mae, Waiting for the beat You hear it announced: then, you hear when tickets go on sale.

After a long wait outside, you're finally in as you endure the warm-up band until its time for what you've waited months for. A number of bands played in the vicinity of McPherson. Obviously the half-hour to hour drive didn't keep MHSers from attending concerts. Salina's new Bicentennial Center offered some good concerts within a closer reach than the usual Wichita concerts. The Center hosted performances by Kenny Rogers, Kansas, Peter Frampton, Head East, and others. Wichita's Century Il, Kansas Colesium and Henry Levitt Arena featured such groups as Cheap Trick, Journey, Little River Band, Kansas, ZZ-Top, The Beach Boys, Jefferson Starship, Foreigner, Kiss, and an MHS favorite, Styx. I liked Styx because I like all of their songs and they were a real crowd pleaser. They got every- body involved. - Pam Clark, sr. At most concerts one can sit in the stands or get closer to the band by standing on the floor. l would rather stand on the floor to get closer to the group. Besides, you can't express yourself when you're sitting down. - Martha Hardin, jr. Although opinions usually vary, most students agree that the attitude of the group, the reaction of the crowd, and a good stage show is needed for a good concert. 1.

Not all 200 shirts ordered could be sold at school so three staff- ers put on their Halloween costumes and attempt- ed to sell some of them at Moonlight Madness downtown. Moonlight Madness proved profitable for KAY Club as they kept with tradition, selling holly for the Christmas season. Hi-Y continued to please hungry sports fans by selling popcorn at home games. DECA sold crystal decorations: seat cushions and pecans were sold by M-Club and FFA sold subscrip- tions to magazines. German Club sold an MHS favorite, Gummi Bears.

Self-preparation deals with mental and phys- ical awareness, contention of nervousness and motivation while team preparation deals with last minute briefing by the coach. Whether it is on a court, track, course, field, or mat the average athlete experiences jitters or butterflies before his event. Some believe this helps in their particular event but others believe nervousness alters their performance. All will agree that nervousness is not fun. Before an event athletes prepare themselves in different ways to combat their nervousness and to prepare mentally. Some football players jam to music while others encounter a medita- tion-like slump before each athletic event. Stretching is also used for physical prepara- tion. All athletes stretch in one form or another. lsometrics can be used along with stretching. l believe the lsometrics program is better than a Weightlifting program. John Hudson, Cross Country coacb. Other physical preparations include medical care and strengthening such as ankle taping, ultra sound, whirlpooling and blister bandaging. We think such treatment helps speed up the process of healing. -Jay Frazier, Basketball coach. Briefing by the coach is another important factor. Final instructions and last minute game plans are necessary for team athletes to work together. We usually review special situations before the game begins. -John Hoffman, Football and Girls Basketball coach. A ---'ir WM- -rif l has .. www 4 thi it , r'! A ' Y' 'Alf 4 .-4-my-uxxA'A .

The McPherson Bullpup football players, practicing twice a day for two weeks before school started, prepared tough for the upcoming season. But the Ark Valley competition along with numer- ous injuries was just too much for the Pups as they finished the season with a 3-6 record. Many of the players claimed that the season went by fast and the games went by hard as they checked in their gear on Nov. 6. Several problems early in the season were en- countered. lnjuries were a key factor in the early downfall of the team. Besides a few pulled muscles, there were some serious injuries. Senior tailback Vaughan Burch twisted his knee in pre-season practice and it was thought that it would heal quickly. Burch's injury proved to be torn cartilage, cutting his career short, as he was out for the rest of the season Following this first defeat, in the season opener against Derby, 38-12, Head Coach John Hoffman said We're not a bad ball club and we have to believe we will get better And they did exactly that, as they defeated the Campus Colts, 6-O, in the Pups' first home game The Bullpups had to scrape the bottom of the barrel to win this game as a result of injuries early in the game. Don Weatherby, jr., broke his collarbone near the end of the first half, leaving him out for the rest of the season Next in line for tailback was Steve Horgan, jr and he, too, was injured. Horgan suffered a hip pointer. Football 0 71 F JV squad in win column in the Wellington game, which meant action for Doug Winter, sr., against number one-ranked Ark City. V V The Ark City Bulldogs crushed the Pups, 55-0. Winter suffered a neck 'injury which put him out for the season, making him the fourth consecutive player to be injured inthe tailback position. At the first of the year the banners in the AC said 'Win Bullpups' and through the rest of the season they said 'Score Bullpups'. -Chris Heide- brecht, jr. And score they did, winning tbe last two games against El Dorado and Newton, leaving them with a three-way tie for fourth place with Hutchinson and Campus. lt had been Va difficult season and we could have quit when we were l6. But we hung in there and won the last two games. -John Hoffman, coach. Things went a little different for the sophomores and Junior Varsity. Their seasons were a bit more successful than the varsity's as the sophomores finished with a 2-3 record and the JV with a 3-2 record. The sophomores' losing games ended with mar- gins of eight, six, and five points. According to Coach Tim Overmang touchdown passes were dropped in each of these games. He said the team should have been 5-O. The JV was the only one of three Bullpup squads to end up with a winning season. The team was composed mostly of sophomores as a result of the large sophomore checkout. Upon the conclusion of the sophomore season, Coach Overman quoted Coach Johnny Wooden of UCLA as saying, Success is never final. Failure is never fatal.'lt's courage that counts' And the Buli- pups were courageous. .way -4? 72 ' Football rw gh 9' 'fr' H' QI K., F . . If 1 , . i,, V . As , V V .

Dynamite team burns the nets by Brenda Westerski The girls tennis team could be compared to dyna- miteg small but powerful. In all but one tournament, the netters placed second or better. Debuting on home courts, the team placed sec- ond in the McPherson Quadrangular and were run- ner-ups in the Valley Center Invitational. The net- ters were bride's maids for a third time at the Salina South Invitational. The squad finished behind the Hays team in the six team tourney. Earning a first place finish, the netters won the Lyons Invitational in what Dick Hall, coach, consid- ered one of the team's stronger efforts of the sea- son. In regional action, three netters qualified for the state meet. Nancy Tarum, soph., placed third in singles. Judy Miller and Brenda Wesierski, srs., took fourth place to qualify for doubles competi- tion. State competition at Arkansas City proved tough. Tarum lost her first round match. Miller and Wesierski upset the number three seeds from Kan- sas City Ward before losing to the Independence team in the second round. Because Nancy Tarum and I were the Rookies, we always had to ride in the very back of the station wagon to all the meets. Since the back of the sta- tion wagon meant that we would have water cool- ers and tennis racquets piled on top of us, the back findly became known as THE PIT. -Gayla Rapp, jr. 74 ' Girls Tennis ,,,,.,,Zi IZfici':jZ.'g1':f fi' M mf - :t:?:fistiff?'

This past season was a real learning experience for the team. We had to cope with the lack of experience, - Leon Pauls, coach. Opening the varsity season at the EI Dorado Triangular, McPherson placed first, ahead of EI Dorado and Campus. Posting the best performance of the season at the Lindsborg Invitational, McPherson finished fourth in a seven team field. No. 2 singles Calvin lvers, sr., won fifth place while No. l doubles John Paneitz and Brad Goering, jrs., won third place medals. No. 2 doubles Kurt Yowell and Steve Onken, jrs., teamed to capture sixth place honors. v Despite having only one experienced senior, the netters strived for improvement as the season ad- Qvanced. Tennis had its ups and downs. It was enjoyable, even if we did have some rough times, - Calvin Ivers. A small squad of 10 members provided more of an opportunity in varsity action for six players. Playing in the one varsity match really helped, although I lost. It was a good experience, - Todd Butterfield, soph.

While gaining experience toward varsity competi- tion, the team finished in a four-way tie for first in the Ark Valley J.V. standings. lf we would have played the way we knew we were capable of, we could have had a better sea- son. - Brad Underwood, soph.

Not having exceptions! size, the Pups relied on their hustle and teamwork to win. Highlighting the season was the overtime vic- tory over Salina Central in the finals of the Salina Sophomore Tournament. Greg Cook always chased Scott Graham before practice in the locker room. Mr. Frazier would walk in the door and Greg would instantly turn into an angel. - Kevin Wilborn, jr. We started out as a team that people didn't think could play good, but we showed them and ourselves that we could. - Todd Heitschmidt, soph. lt was a very good season except when we lost to Liberal at sub-state, The juniors and seniors sup- plied a lot of leadership for us and we tried to follow their examples. - Marvin Gifford, soph.

Anyone associated with the girls basket- ball team knows this stands for Future Girls State Champs. The dream almost came true, just one game short, with a second place finish in the 5A State Tournament at Emporia. Opening the season with victories over Winfield, the 24 girls comprising the varsity and junior varsi- ty teams initially played their first home game in the Roundhouse, coached by John Hoffman and Ann Killingsworth. Playing in the Roundhouse was really exciting. lt was nice that it seemed like our home court rather than an unknown court as before. - Leah Hoffman, jr. Reaching previously set goals marked an accom- plishment in itself for the team. I think setting our goals at the beginning of the season gave us some enthusiasm and spirit. One goal everyone filled was the giving of 11096 effort at all times. This was the goal that probably helped the most. - Jan Schmidt, jr. Other feats established by the team included a capture of the Ark Valley League title for the sec- ond year with a 15-1 record, only one year after entering the league. A major reason for our success involved team- mates pulling for a common goal. That, backed by a lot of determination, truly served as a major rea- son for our success. - Coach Hoffman. Our season was very successful because of our , talent, the close friendship and general pulling for each other. - Mary Hale, soph. Another goal of capturing the sub-state title came true with a win over Hays. The final, untimate Molly Melland. sr., attempts to grasp the basketball from an aggressive Hutchinson opponent as Jan Schmidt, jr., pon- ders whether to offer assistance. ning, 1 l lx 1 1 Varsity, JV post top records goal for the pups was to advance to the state finals, and they did. Entering the 5A State Tournament with a second place seating, the Pups rose to the occasion by beating Pittsburg in the first round. This win ad- vanced the Pups to play the Always tough Cru- sasers of Kapaun, Mt. Carmel. The 51-48 upset in- sured the Pups aspot in the 5A state finalsg Our victory over Kapaun had to be one of the biggest wins ever. - Coach Hoffman.

However, early season injuries took their toll, sideiining several wrestlers. Opening the season against El Dorado, the wres- tlers triumphed, 31-29. Senior Mark McDonald com- mented, The most memorable moment during the wrestling season for me was when Tom Wilson walked around the El Dorado gym with the zipper of his pants down.

Providing leadership, encouragement and inspira- tion, the seniors set examples for the newcomers and it didn't take long for the team to mature, improving their scores along the way. Highlighting the season was Richard Olson's, sr. outstanding performance at the 5A regionals in Sali- na. His blistering 5 over par 75 put him in seventh place, qualifying him to compete at the 5A state championships on the prestigious Prairie Dunes golf course in Hutchinson May 22-23. Llnpredictable spring weather hampered several practices as well as causing the postponement of the McPherson Invitational from March 31 to April 7. Several meets weren't postponed forcing team members to compete in the rain. We had more people who went out for golf this year than in the past. Everyone got the chance to gain more experience through participation. I think that's the most important part. That's what counts . -Don Baker, coach. Climaxing the season, a get-together at Apple- gates on May 15 gave the golfers a chance to reflect back on the season.

With a second place finish in the initial meet of the season at El Dorado, the hours of long, hard practices appeared to pay-off. Nevertheless, early and mid-season injuries took their toll on several individuals, eliminating them from competition. This year was a bad one for injuries. As a result, we as a team had a little bit of trouble getting up the momentum needed. Still we had some people who individually performed very well.

A vari- ety of muscle-moving activities gave each stu- dent a chance to do their own thing. Oftentimes, the weather played a big part in determining what sport would be pursued. Breezy, early spring days encouraged kite-flying buffs to unwind their strings while frisbee freaks perfected their tosses. On cold or rainy days, racquetball, an indoor sport rapidly rising in popularity kept students on their toes. Bowling leagues also involved MHSers, giving them the opportunity to com- pete with friends on a team. l'll never forget the time Greg Goering was getting ready to bowl and Jon Robertson hit him on the back pocket. He had a welt for the whole week afterwards! - Ted Morris, jr. Another popular sport that caught on at MHS was skating. Custom skates in every color were laced and tied on the feet of eager students. Summertime sports included swimming, bicy- cling and jogging. Braving Bonanza and snowplowing Sizzler, 53 students and sponsors once again hit the slopes on another successful ski trip. Beginning students learned the basic maneu- vers and after a few initial falls, they soon caught on to join the rest for a week-end of exciting fun in Breckenridge. Skiers thawed out in the warming house and chowed down at the Maggie. Tired and weary, they returned to school the following Monday donning Ski Country t-shirts and sunburned noses. KA Other Sports 0 97 Loyal fans chant support at 5A State by Allison Stroup Cheered on by the large crowds, the McPherson Girls Basketball team made their finest showing ever by placing second in the 5-A state tournament. McPherson also claimed one other high honor, re- ceiving the Sportsmanship Award. The Sportsmanship Award is based on the con- duct of the team, the cheerleaders and the fans. Each is to represent the school andtown in a re- spectable way. Continuous support, no booing of other teams or of officials' calls, are all criteria for the judging. The girls team had loyal followers throughout the regular season but many more joined them for the exciting tournament games. Students, and adults as well, became more vocal than ever and contin- ued a steady stream of cheers from the sidelines. Evidence of this was when the basketball team was falling behind in the finals against Bishop Meige. A chant of Bullpups, Bullpups! rang through the gymnasium as the crowd showed how proud they were of their girls. The Sportsmanship Award was a great honor not only for the school, the team and the cheerleaders but for the community itself. McPherson was well- represented and it proved to others that McPherson is a community in full support of its young people and their athletic achievements. Q Crowd participation is important to any team, and the Bullpups are no exception.

Multiply that by six or eight, and you have more spark than ever. Due to the increase in the size of the basketball cheerleading squad from the standard six to eight, the enthusiasm and spirit excelled at state tourna- ment, resulting in winning the coveted Sportsman- ship Trophy. Before tryouts, the girls voted whether to have six or eight cheerleaders, and the majority was for eight. lt was probably harder fto work with eightj but luckily the girls caught on fast. The routines looked better with more cheerleaders. Now that it's over, l'm really glad we had eight. - Abbey Peters, jr. Earlier in the year. the football cheerleading squad started off its season with a car wash. They attended a Dynamic Cheerleaders of America Spirit Clinic at Salina South High School. One of their weekly duties was to serve Kool-Aid to the players after an exhausting work out. Both football and basketball cheerleaders sold ribbons. Along with their cheering duties, the wrestling cheerleaders took time out to have a bake sale. The profit from this bake sale want towards their out- fits. Assisting the various squads, the mascots at- tempted to raise spirit within the stands. Each mas- cot used her own various techniques.

Farly practices pay off Early morning, late nights, in rain, sleet or snow, you could usually hear the sounds of feet stamping and instruments playing as the Marching Bullpups perfected their style. Learning a new routine for each home game required concentration and quick thinking for each of the 64 members. Pre-game and half-time entertainment kept high school football fans enthusiastic and amazed as the band formed a giant UM on the field. Tea for Two, Star Spangled Banner, and Shake, Rattle and Roll were some of the numbers performed. An impressive and unforgettable performance ended with the band forming a martini glass and letting hundreds of colorful helium balloons soar above the crowd. For the first time ip over 20 years, the band took a trip to Worlds of Fun in Kansas City. They fi- nanced the trip by selling candles in the fall. The band performed a morning concert there, followed by plenty of fun in the afternoon. ln honor of Les Sperling, former MHS and Junior High band director, the Marching Bullpups formed a mass band on May Day by combining with the 7th, 8th and 9th grade bands. Parading down Main Street, they belted out Vanguard of Victory, cre- ating a sound that carried throughout the town.

It just wouldn't be complete without the echoes of foot-stomping, hand-clapping beats. The Pep Band provided the needed ecstasy to bring the MHS basketball fans to their feet, clapping along to the rhythmic beat. Early morning practices at 7:30 a.m. resulted in many members arising at 7:20 a.m. and speeding to school. Besides playing for each home basketball game, the 34-member band played for the United Way fund raiser, the McPherson Invitational Tourna- ment and traveled to the girls state basketball tour- nament in Emporia. Donning white jackets, the Pep Band displayed continual support and spirit ampli- fying throughout the Roundhouse, even when fan support dwindled. Under the direction of Mike Connell, Instrumental Music, the Pep Band played rousing tempos such as 'iPower of Gold, Sweet Georgia Brown, and Rocky , the girls basketball team's theme song. In addition, the Pep Band provided background music for routines by the Hi-Steppers and cheer- leaders. Pep Band was better than last year.

He continued to compete after college and recorded a jump of 6'8 W' at the Greely, Colorado invitational meet in 1963.

During his studies at McPherson College, Harold Myers, Science, was fortunate enough to assist Dr. J. Willard Hersey while he was experimentin with synthetic diamonds. There have been multiple claims associated with the creating of synthetic diamonds, and like any other scienti- fic discovery, it took time before Dr. Hersey's evidence was recognized. We sent our diamonds to the National Bureau of Standards. They proved to be real diamonds then, but we could not prove that they actually came out of our fur- nace, said Mr. Myers. After the industrial processing of synthetic diamonds became common, Mr. Myers corresponded with General Electric, concerning ways to improve diamond-making. I would like to follow into diamond research after l retire someday, said Mr. Myers. a Lonny Liljegren, Vo-Training WWW t 1 if wud' f, 'ls 'it 'X Carl Morgan, Vo-training C 1 14 0 Faculty Richard Ramsdale, Vo-Training Masq..

Many sophomores encountered scenes almost identical to this one the first days of school. Although the initial frights were overcome, the first nine weeks proved to be different and exciting for the class of '82. The first major steps in adjusting from junior high to high school simply consisted of finding the right classes in their complex hexes. After conquer- ing this obstacle, sophomores usually found that traveling the paths of MHS was much smoother. The advantages that upperclassmen take for granted are new and special to the sophomores.

Most students also enjoyed open lunch and the chance to go out for lunch instead of being couped inside the A.C. High school is fun because there is always something going on. - Kathy Morris, soph. This is partly true because of clubs. Monthly meetings along with special activities filled the time of many sophomores. Spirit week proved to be the highlight for most sophomores.

But the Ju- nior Class avoided these symptoms by conquering the year-long task of preparing the Jr.-Sr. Prom. Their first moneymaking project was selling con- cessions at a home football game. As basketball season approached, the class put their experience to work, handling concessions for the McPherson Invitational Basketball Tournament. Juniors donated brownies, cookies, hot dogs and hamburgers as well as time to work. Numerous phone calls by the four officers result- ed in S900 dollar contract for the band Natural Gas to play at the dance. Several evening events were scheduled and sponsors were obtained. After the class voted on Two Tickets to Para- dise for a theme, the officers ordered crepe paper, leis and grass rain capes and had napkins and tick- ets printed. Committees were formed and the real work be- gan. The construction committee built a grass hut while the art committee painted two scenic back- drops. Large tropical plants were borrowed by the plant committee along with shells, fishnet, wicker fans and a fountain. The refreshment committee prepared punch and sliced oranges, pineapples, papayas and coconuts for that extra tropical touch. A day and a half of decorating and finalizing last minute details resulted in an evening in paradise for all to remember.

These phrases were heard frequently during the seniors' last nine weeks of school. In preparation for Commencement, caps and gowns were ordered in government classes. When the gowns arrived in early May, seniors still had a hard time believing Graduation was only three weeks away. Final college plans, along with senior exams and advanced placement tests were some of the more ' tedious yearend chores. Most seniors agreed that finals were awfully difficult to study for when only one day of school was left. Several students were honored and recognized at specials events during April and May. National Hon- or Society included a formal evening ceremony with a reception following. Any senior who received a scholarship or award was honored at Honors Night. Green smoke bombs and soap bubbles made a hazy and smelly A C as restless seniors tried to make their last day go faster. Seniors gathered in the Roundhouse to listen to instructions for Bacca- laureate and Commencement. Also, the class had their first opportunity to march to the strains of Pomp and Circumstancef' as they found their marching partners and practiced the walk around the Roundhouse. Sadness, memories, excitement, anticipation. Al- though it sounds corny, each of these emotions were evident throughout the last nine weeks for every senior. And each of these emotions helped to make 1980 truly The Year of the Champs. .

Something inside us asks, Why me? But school has its rewards, as does anyting that requires a little effort. We gave and we received. Whether it was an A on a test or a Sl,000. scholarship, we set goals for ourselves and strove to reach them. The daily routine may have become monotonous and even boring, but in the end, we could show a smile of achievement as we realized just how much we had accomplished.

Worlds of Fun proves o plus Though the band decreased in numbers, it was a year of growing. - Steve Onken jr. With only a few short weeks of preparation, the Symphonic Band presented its first concert of the season on Dec. 17 in the Little Theatre. Highlighting the concert, the band performed, Twas the Night Before Christmas , by Newell H. Long, with Jim Pauls, Vocal Music, serving as narrator. Twelve MHS band students were selected to the Ark Valley League Band workshop and concert held on Jan. 10 at Winfield High School but since finals were held that same day, only four were able to make the trip. lt was quite unfortunate that we had this con- flict between semester tests and this musical activ- ity. lt is a real honor to be selected to play in these groups and it was a shame that the students had to be caught in the squeeze due to scheduling prob- lems. - Mike Connell, lnstrumental Music. Concluding the year with the annual Spring Con- cert on April 25, and the traditional performance at the Graduation and Baccalaureate Exercises, a trip to Worlds of Fun proved to be one of the highlights of a year filled with activities.

After two days of intense rehearsal, they performed at the Kansas Music Educator's Convention in Wichita Feb. 23. Five students auditioned by sending reel-to-reel tape recordings of their performance to the selec- tion committee. Only those previously selected to the District 6 orchestra were eligible to audition for state. A formal winter concert in the junior high audito- rium featured three guest artists sponsored by the McPherson Arts Commission. Larry Williams, Southwestern College, was guest conductor.

Jomminq if up zorly mornings After slamming down that buzzing alarm, rushing to get ready and grabbing a doughnut and a glass of milk, the MHS Jazz Ensemble members gathered together Thursday and Friday mornings in addition to Monday evenings where they improvised, learned the blues and created music by working together. With the lights turned down low, the Jazz Ensem- ble played as the Fall Homecoming candidates stolled across the floor, actually experiencing a dream-come-true. Other performances followed as the group added its easy going sound to band con- certs, the Winter Homecoming ceremony, Park School and at the Annual May Day Concert at Brown Auditorium with the Hutchinson JUCO En- semble. The performance at Park School proved to be a highlight as the audience responded enthusiastical- ly. Through the year, nine of the 16 members stepped in the spotlight while playing individual solos and improvisations. Lori Mills, David Pauls, srs., Steve Onken, jr., and Brenda Hoch, sr., were named to the Ark Valley League Honor Jazz Ensemble. lt's the most fun l've had doing something musi- cally in a long time. - Dan Bradford, soph. .

I i 'brzcious Lord znjo ed b oll lf a person just happened to drop by the music room second hour in time to observe the Concert Choir warming-up, it might appear that the choir members were all pulling imaginary ropes toward themselves while singing scales of Ha, Ha, Ha's. To an observer this might be quite humorous, but it is an important exercise for diaphram support. lf word got out that Concert Choir was a goof-off class, it was purely rumor and nothing proved that better than a l rating at state contest and six very successful concerts. Class rehearsals filled with sight reading and vigorous singing were a daily occurance for the choir in preparation for several , events. A performance at the junior high school followed by an all-church Thanksgiving Service at Brown Auditorium kept the choir busy in the fall. Dr. Duncan Couch of Southwestern Baptist Col- lege conducted an all day clinic Feb. 21. One piece that was particularly meaningful to the group was Precious Lord, receiving a I rating at contest. lt was also an encore number for the I spring concert and at the request of several mem- bers, it was performed by the choir at the funeral service of .leff Holtzclaw.

The 20 voice group performed for various church groups, service clubs I and professional organizations throughout the year. The Happiest Time of the Year, which was the closing song for the Christmas programs, also proved to be the busiest time of the year for the ensemble as they had numerous performances I scheduled throughout the Christmas season. At the Christmas program in the Little Theater, the ensem- ble sang a portion of their regular program and gave individual numbers as well, including tuba tooting and kazooing. A caroling party and dinner at Beth Kopp's sr., house climaxed the season. lt was great! We all became really close, almost like a family. We had some trying times and lots of fun, too.

Although small groups of students in both choirs provided annoying and aggrivating interruptions throughout the year, each choir united together, resulting in very successful performances. Providing dedicated direction from two Bethany College music students, Marina Krey and Glenda Underhill, both choirs found excitement in num- bers, both serious and light, which were presented as a Christmas gift to the community in the Little lTheater. Two performances were planned to ac- -commodate the traditionally large crowds with this year's attendence being no exception. Sherry Payne was featured in the solo, Jesus, Jesus, Rest Your Head. Singing a special group of numbers at a Lenten Service at the Luthern Church brought rewarding smiles from an appreciative audience for the Soph- omore Girls Choir. For a final performance, both choirs joined with the Concert Choir to sing The Hymn of Courage 1 for the Baccalaureate service.

Along with Practical Nursing, the Central Kansas Area Vo-Tech School offered a variety of courses dealing with skilled trades. Learning the characteristics of cattle, hogs, chickens and other livestock, the Agricultural Pro- duction Classes went to several judging contests. Twenty varieties of wheat were planted and ob- served in a test plot by the Crops and Soils class. The Project Construction class put their welding skills into action while the applied Agricultural Me- chanics class constructed a portable shed. ,mtv Repairing small engines gave the Power Mechan- ics class a basic understanding of the internal com- bustion engine and the Auto Mechanics tackled car engines. lnventory control, management and marketing were studied by the Distributive Education classes.

Sharon Ray's Spanish l class experienced first hand the actual cooking and tasting of authentic Mexican dishes in the Home Ec. room. Smaller classes in German proved to be benefi- cial for first year teacher Donna Matthies. Because of the class situation there was opportunity for more personal attention given to each student. Another advantage was the opportunity to watch the PBS series Guten Tag , which taught phonet- ics, vocabulary and culture once a week. lt gives the students good exposure to the Ger- man lifestyle. - Donna Matthies, German. The German lll and IV classes were combined, making a total of five students. Half the class period was spent lecturing one class while the others worked individually. With all of this learning there was still time for fun. The Spanish lll class attended the Ballet Folk- lorico and German classes went to Wichita to the Ocktoberfest, a performance of folk dances from various regions of Mexico.

With this thought and a grant from the state, the Math Department received three new computers, totaling approximately Sl2,000. We've always hoped we would get a computer in the math department. - Carl Harris, Math. Greeted with excitement and curiousity by the students and instructors, the computers provided hours of intrigue and fascination for all. Because the computers didn't arrive until early spring, the classes didn't have enough time to make full use of them. However, several students enjoyed playing computer games and doing simple programs. Next year we hope students can learn how to set up programs, make them work and understand why. - Carl Harris, Math. There is no limit to what a computer can do. Most mathematical equations can be put into a computer. The further we go, the more possibilities we discover. - Maynard Lewis, Math. Uses of the computers included programming, game playing, tutoring and record keeping, plus the possibility of eventually recording school atten- dance and student records. -... 168 0 Math Y' ,an ao- .W I ,Q ,..

Sounding like rules to a children's game, these words were input com- mands into the new computer, the Apple ll, that resided amidst flashes and frogs, test tubes and telescopes, and all of the other equipment associat- ed with the Science Department. The biology classrooms of Carl Ediger and Garth Werner held certain intrigue. Ranging from under- standing the innerworkings of a single cell to the dissection of a formaldehyde starfish, each experi- ment brought Iife and its mysteries into a closer perspective. The building blocks of the universe found their way into the teachings of Harold Myers, Science, as the elements, their compounds and their potentials were examined more closely. Here students worked in the lab face to face with household edibles and deadly poisons. Two of the objectives of the science curriculum should be to teach the process of science and intro- duce new innovation of a technical world. -May- nard Lewis, Science. The Science Department did its best to achieve these goals. And the computer? Well it helped out by demonstrating technological advances, training students to program complex data and, in the inter- est of science, of course, played a pretty mean game of Space Invaders.

What do you call a person who gives up their weekends to travel to various schools just to talk and be judged? Most likely, you would call them crazy, insane or even hopeless. But they consider themselves to hold a different title. The 21 MHS students who meet the above criteria prefer to be known as deba- tors and forensicians. State-wide speech tournaments were attended by the squads with one major change, the addition of a new coach, Gary Minor. The squad received first-time recognition of let- tering, signifying outstanding speaking achieve- ments. ln addition, nine individual awards were also presented by Mr. Minor to members of the squad based on individual participation and achievement throughout the year. Although to most, giving such' time and effort seems pointless, to the 21 members of the debate and forensics team, it's a very serious and worth- while activity.

For five days, Child Care and Development stu- dents became the proud parents of eggs. Learning the responsibilities of parenthood, students cared for their eggs as though they were infants. Each student kept a daily log recording his feelings about the responsibilities of caring for his child. The Advanced Foods class gave programs to various grade schools, educating them on the im- portance of good nutrition. Several faculty guests enjoyed a traditional Thanksgiving dinner prepared by the class. Guest speakers often visited the Married Life class, speaking on such topics as engagement, money management, insurance, sexuality and love.

Sophomores and juniors had to successfully complete those semester long courses that dealt with grammar, literature and composition to graduate. All sophomores were required to enroll in Speech and Library Research as well as Grammar and Com- position. Juniors were required to take one semes- ter of American Literature with some form of writ- ing. College Bound English was offered only to sen- iors. Students planning on attending college re- ceived first-hand experience of college literature and essay tests. They also reviewed basic gram- mar, spelling and vocabulary skills. New faculty appeared in the English Depart- ment. Gary Minor took over in Speech and Debate while Sue Stacey coordinated the learning disabil- ities classes. Less traditional forms of English were also of- fered. Debate, Forensics, Journalism, Mass Media and Drama and Stagecraft were some of the offered courses. Mass Media taped a weekly radio show that aired on KNEX. They also went on field trips and had guest speakers. fri 1-Wi2J A A creature from outer space?

Most of the girls seem to enjoy this unit, said Miss Killingsworth. With birdies flying, students learned the funda- mentals of badminton. To test their accomplish- ments, a skills test over servings and strokes were conducted. A unit on recreational sports, such as bowling, followed badminton. Concluding the class, the stu- dents again moved outside to play tennis, a sport growing in popularity. To get in condition for the physical fitness test- ing, numerous aches and pains evolved marking a positive advancement in overall fitness. Advanced P.E. was fun because we got more freedom.

Testing their abilities, students engage in weight- lifting, running and treacherous obstacle courses, which provide a workout with competition. The 12- minute run is considered by many to be the biggest test of all. n's.R::m These are strenuous activities even for those who are in good shape. But they are challenges that attract any P.E. student. Along with the increase of enrollment, Mr. Settle says that the attitudes of his students have im- proved in the past year. ,H , Q With determination and strength, Rob North, sr., strains to reach the top of the peg board.

Special Issues Editor Managers Byron Pistora Advertising and Business Managers Susan Frantz Teletypist and Reporter itzs to produce With basically an inexperienced staff, the bi- weekly, broadsheet High Life began in April of the previous year. By selecting staff positions, choos- ing publication dates and arranging summer meet- ings, the new staff was off to a good start. Six of the 11 staff members attended various camps and workshops throughout the state to gain the experience needed and to bring home new and fresh ideas. ' The journalism workshop at Hays was fun be- cause some Babe Ruth baseball teams stayed at a dorm beside ours. However, l did learn some helpful things. - Pam Gasper, jr. As in previous years, the first issue of the High Life was distributed to the students on the first day of school, Aug. 27. More than two weeks of prep- aration and work were put into the issue and staff- ers were at school at least a week earlier than most other students. Regular Monday meetings were spent planning, brainstorming and assigning pictures and articles for each of the 16 issues. The rest of the week was classified as work days where interviews were held, photographs were taken, and paste-ups were checked and completed. Last minute touch-ups were completed by 1 p.m. on Thursday when the paper was officially put to bed and was left in the hands of the printer, The McPherson Sentinel. Parties throughout the year gave everyone a chance to relax and have some fun. lt was also a chance to forget about that frightening word, DEADLINE, that was on each staff memeber's mind throughout the year.

With the addition of three new staff- ers at semester, the task of capturing all the events of the year and putting them together in a book became a little easier. Staff positions and responsi- bilities were changed and soon they settled in, working together to create a book for everyone to remember. lt was easy to put things off as the deadlines seemed so far away but, after the last minute rush for the first deadline in December, everyone got a taste of what was to come. Surprisingly, things got easier and flowed more smoothly as the staff be- came organized. Most of the week was spent in a lab situation where everyone did their own thing. Ads were designed, copy was written, layouts were drawn and pictures were taken and developed in the dark- room. Although this kept the staffers busy, they always found time to have some real fun. Birthday par- ties, dinners, and a supper at Lakeside Park were some of the fringe benefits of being on the staff. Celebrating Christmas, the staff had a gag-gift party at Jean Nicholson's, sr., house. Unusual presents such as pacifiers, joke books and men's liberation pantyhose created a few looks of embar- rassment and plenty of laughs for everyone. Dzodlinzs rzquirz workniqhl Sara Studer ..

Bullpup 0 179 Preparing students to function as independently as possible when out of school was one of many goals Judy Hall's Special Education class strived for this year. The students started working at this goal by learning such things as familiar terms used on job interview sheets, basics of credit, how to write and balance checks, comparative shopping, cooking and individualized academic programs. The class also took on several projects including building a trophy case, refinishing a bedroom set, assembling models and painting. ln early December, the students sold candy. After purchasing materials for the trophy case, the class used what money was left for a pizza party. Learning to use their leisure time constructively, students went bowling and swimming often. This year we're trying to gear the kids' educa- tion out into the community more than in the past. -Judy Hall. For five weeks, the class conduct- ed a supermarket survey. By studying prices regu- larly, they figured the rate of inflation. We had been talking a lot about inflation and trying to develop different skills on how to be a smart shopper, Mrs. Hall said. l really think the kids learned a lot.

' 'T - ' ' Lzorninq tolcor by Sue Stacey, Learning Disabilities The field of Learning Disabilities, especially at the secondary level, is a relatively new and often misunderstood field. lt is easy to say what a learn- ing disability is not, but it is more difficult to explain what it is as it varies from individual to individual. The formal definition of Learning Disabilities is: Children with special learning disabilities exhibit a disorder in one or more of the basic psychological processes involved in understanding or using spok- en or written language. These may be manifested in disorders of listening, thinking, talking, reading, writing, spelling or math. The do NOT include learn- ing problems which are due primarily to visual, hearing or motor handicaps, to mental retardation, emotional disturbance, or to environmental disad- vantage. Through various tests and observations, the stu- dents strengths and weaknesses are identified. Sue Stacey, the L.D. resource teacher, then helps the student and hisfher teacher recognize and use these strengths to overcome or compensate for the weaknesses. ln the high school resource room, the students work on vocabulary, written and oral expression, thinking and listening skills, as well as learning strategies, such as note-taking, scimming, scanning and time management. The goal of the resource room is to teach the student how to learn. l'm pleased with the progress of the program this year. The teachers, administrators and other students have been very supportive and cooperat- ive. l'm looking forward to advancing and further developing the program for next year.

IF YOU HAD YOUR SENIOR YEAR TO DO OVER, WHAT WOULD YOU DO DIFFERENT? lf I had the choice about what I would do differently if I could do my senior year over again, I would take more interest- ing classes, mainly in the science and literature areas. Other than that, the only other things I would have done was to buy donuts during break when they sold them at the beginning of the year. Kathy Goldsmith I would involve myself in more activities. Also try to do better in my performance in the activities in which I am already involved. And I would try to meet more people and chase more girls. Mike Groves 222 0 Ads There's not too much I could have changed considering I moved so much this school year, but I would change my schedule and take Journalism II so I'd know more about what I was doing on the Yearbook staff. One thing I would never change and that's the fact that I graduated from McPherson High School. Naturally I miss my friends from Florida, but the friends that I've made in Kansas really mean alot to me. l'm just sorry that I wasn't in school long enough to know everyone. Donna Carnley ,,,..--., ........-,..... ...du-li I would spend more time with my friends that will be leaving next year, devote more time to having fun instead of wasting time, and keeping ahead of the homework in College Bound English. All in all, though, I was glad my senior year went as well as it did, and I didn't flunk any classes. Sheryl Mears I don't really think I would change anything. Maybe just do more things with my friends instead of some extra curricular activities that take up all my time. Kelly Keagle Li . . I I I'd take my classes a little mol'e seriously, but other than that, I wouldn't change a thing, l've had fun this year and made more friends, which means alot. Gwen Hill I would make it last longer! This year has gone by so fast. I feel like I didn't get a chance to do everything I wanted to do. I have thoroughly enjoyed it, and l've made some super friends. But I'm going to miss it next year. Stacey Cole I would just make the year last Ionger.

Spirit Week . . . Fall Homecoming . . . Camelot . . . Follies . . . Prom . . . Graduation. All these events arouse recollections of certain moods, feelings and expressions. Of all the emotions, a smile is usually remem- bered most. Smiles of pride twinning the Sports- manship Awardj, smiles of accomplishment Kearn- ing a diplomaj, and smiles of gratitude Cmaking new friendsj linger in our minds as we remember. Certain smiles have hidden secrets. As the sen- iors graduate, their smiles may have tears behind them as they realize how far they've come and yet how far they must go. ls it possible that the se- crets behind the graduates' smiles are the same as the newcoming sophomores a fear of what lies ahead? There's a lot more to a smile than just grinning from cheek to cheek and looking happy. Some events of 1979-80 are unpleasant and even painful to remember. But a smile afterwards symbolizes the need to go on, to try again and to learn. Smiles tell a story. And by looking at the smiles in this book, not only can we recall certain events, we can experience the feelings, too. After so many years, these feelings may be otherwise forgotten, leaving only vague impressions of the past. They say that our high school years are the best times in our lives. Then why not hold on to the clearest, most meaningful memories possible? Then our smiles truly will be . . . Smiles forever shining through At Junior class meetings smiles are abundant in front of the camera. Decisions such as class offi- cers and prom committee's are discussed at the meetings. Trying to cover up a frown with a smile is Myron Martin, jr., as the doctor examines his football injury. Working at the library is Laura Reese, sr., One part of her job is to put books away. 232 ' Closing
