The Mirror Volume 61, 1982 The direction in which education starts a man will determine his future life. — Plato Fall Student Life School year 1981-81 These are the days of our lives There will never be years like these years were. New students entered, and new tradi- tions began; some of the old ones merely remain memories. New traditions start with new surround- ings and new administration. Mr. Campbell became our new principal and had many new ideas himself. Assemblies began with the Pledge of Allegiance and ended with either the school song or class chants. The new tiger-growl was also introduced. Lunchtime became a new experience with the new snack bar and tables. One rule that governed the lunch hour was that nobody was to be in the halls, and should remain in the lobby. Many club meetings were held at noon since no club could use a class hour as was done in the past. Study haH was held in one room instead of moving all around to different rooms. To the dismay of some people, the announcements were read over the intercom during second hour. Many more traditions were started, in- cluding the Homecoming bonfire and snake dance, the FHA carnival. Courtwarming king and prince coronation, and the FHA hush puppy day. These will be the unique days we’ll remember, even though some day they, too. may become obsolete.

Most students would dress preppy one day and the next day come to school dressed in cowboy boots and a western shirt. It was also very common to see girls dressed in a pair of jeans and a t-shirt, polyester pants and a sweater, or just a nice dress with high heels and panty hose. 1981-1982 seemed to be a time of inde- pendence and freedom to express one- self however he wanted and still be ac cepted. It was a time of constant change and progress. Our generation adapted to this lifestyle very well. Our ability to adapt to almost any situation will be a great asset after graduation from VHS Fall Student Life 4 Every school year has been different from the one before. The world and our society is constantly changing. These changes affect almost every individual who lives and works within our progres sive nation. In order to be accepted, es- pecially in the U.S. and particularly at Versailles High School there are certain societal outgrowths many individuals feel prompted to follow. Even though our society has always been very fashion-conscious, and the 1981-1982 school year saw many changing attitudes. While students in past years followed a universal pattern, our genera- tion felt free to choose from more than one. Our generation had many fashions to choose from. One very popular trend was the preppy look . Very few completely escaped its influence. A true prepster's common attire con- sisted of Calvin Klein or straight legged Levi jeans with an Izod shirt or an Oxford button-down. Female prepsters loved to wear kilt skirts with Argyle socks and. of course, no preppy outfit was complete without topsiders or penny loafers. Ber- muda shorts and knickers were also the height of preppy fashion. Since Versailles is a rural community there has always been an abundance of farmers and cowboys. In 1981-82 a trend emerged that was very easy for these people to adapt to. Movies like the Ur- ban Cowboy” and Clint Eastwood’s Bronco Billy. Every Which Way But Loose. and Any Which Way You Can' influenced people to start wearing West ern shirts. The drastic change in country music in recent years (from the twangy. hoedown. style of the past to a more pop style that more people seem to enjoy) also had a role in the development of this new cowboy fashion. A more outrageous fashion that was acknowledged, if not accepted at VHS. was punk rock. It was more a trend that the students at VHS enjoyed as a Hallow een costume. Granted, it was accepted in some parts of the world and some people really dressed that way. but the students at VHS seemed to be more conservative. A true punker wore almost anything that looked ridiculous. Anything from dog collars, complete with leashes, to plastic trash bags. He painted all sorts of strange designs on his face and wore a mohawk hairstyle, after dying it pink, purple, green, or a combination of the three. 1981 1982 was truly a year of changing fashions. It was a combination of new and old. making it a time that will be forever imprinted in our memories. I: Mr. Campbell fired us up for Spir- it Week and helped with hall deco- rations. 2. The first annual FHA carnival was held in Sept, with over 100 people attending. 3 and 4: Students took advantage of this fall's Indian Summer and often ate lunch outside.

Today marks the end of our first school week and it has certainly been hectic. The entire stu- dent body is making exciting new changes We've acquired a snack bar (no tables for two weeks) and a new principal. Everyone is still mobbing the office either trying to switch classes, drop classes, or simply to get out of class. We didn’t have an assembly on the first day. but Mr. Campbell gave his talk on Friday. He first discussed the spray paint on the front of the school stating Legalize Marijuana. Everyone was shocked and offended. Afterwards he gave us a great pep talk and won everyone over. This week has also been full of club meetings. Today marked our first class meetings. Classes elected officers and selected our Homecoming candidates. Student Council met for the first time and there was mass confusion. Poor Lori B. must have had writer's cramps, and I’d hate to decipher her notes! Committees were set up with anxious volunteers. Yesterday Mr. Campbell surprised us with a fire drill and then really surprised us with a second one! Mrs. Woolley and concert choir are still de- bating on the new dresses and shirts. She's also starting practice for those trying out for Dis- trict Choir. Mrs. Hughes began her research paper rules. College Prep (C.P.) students were sur- prised to find research papers were due in No- vember instead of the traditional January. All of the football players are really fired up because tomorrow is the first game. School spir- it is at a new high and everyone is already mak- ing plans for the game tomorrow night. I think this year's going to be fun. Can’t wait l!!(!l!l!!!l( Later, MS. 10 Sophomores Shaky knees, sweaty palms, butterflies in the stomach these are common characteristics of a sophomore student who is attempting to pass his driver's test for the first time. After what has seemed an almost endless 15 years, the big moment has arrived. Now. hopefully, all those hours in Driver's Ed. class, plus the time spent studying the diver s manual, will pay off. Everyone is told to go into a room where he will take the written test. If 75% or above is made on the test he is free to try to pass his driving test. The driving part of the test is prob- ably one of the most nerve-wracking exper- iences in the life of a 16-year-old. He feels that every move he makes is being watched and ana- lyzed by the instructor. He has this terrible pre- monition that an old lady or a young child is going to materialize out of thin air right in front of his car. The majority of sophomores do get through the test and if they don’t pass it the first time, few of them give up. Eventually that long await- Tresa Vogt Mike Walsh. Stu-Co Rep.

No more bumming rides from upper-classmen to and from Camp- bells. No more having parents drive to pick up a date or friend. Aftei finally getting that all-important slip of paper that gives him the right to drive, the ex- citement quickly subsides. There are so many other greater excitements and responsibilities ahead that getting a driver’s liscense will seem almost petty. But. the anticipation will never be forgotten, nor the intense feeling of accomplish- ment after receiving the little card with one’s name and picture that says he has the freedom to drive. Once the 16-year- old possesses the precious little card bearing his name, address, and a not- so becoming picture, his worries become paying for insurance and gas.

Yearbooks finally arrived and the staff knows how fun it is to wrap books for mailing, only to have Shana $. rip off the wrappings looking for her lost yearbook. Everywhere I look, not only do I see people passing around yearbooks for signing. I also see posters for the FHA Festival. I think it's going to be a success. District choir tryouts were endured somehow and Versailles had ten make Alj-District. That was more than any other school in the district! The dress material finally arrived for the Concert Choir outfits. The Student Council meeting today decided the Homecoming theme: Fruits and Vegetables. When president Lewis called Kimmie (Mrs. Yarnell) on the intercom and told her.' her only reply was. Who is this? Everyone burst into laughter. Snapshots from the yearbook went on sale, along with V-Club calendars. Saturday the seniors and Drill Team raised money by painting lines on the street uptown. It was great fun! (Except when we spilled paint in the street and then had to scrub it off with gasoline.) Everyone smelled like gasoline for our dates Saturday night. The football team played a good game Sept. 4. but still lost. The pep assembly was different with the newly- installed class chants and tiger growls. The volleyball girls had to come to practice this morning at 6:30. I’ll bet they enjoyed that! More Later. MS.

Tigers are Um-Um Good.” Their sophomore and junior years, the class of '82 placed second with float themes of ’’Tigers are the ’Main Event” and ’ Tigers Put Indians in the Intensive Care Ward.” As juniors, the class of '82 presented a classic prom, entitled ’Gone With the Wind. and memories made while working on it will long be remembered. This year, finally seniors, the class of 82 did not place with their float Berry the Cardinals. pictured on the opposite page, but they retained thier spirit, and the senior Homecoming Queen candidate.

The school year 1981-1982 has been a year of many fads and changes. In the future we can look back on this year and remember when: — No one knew what a Rubik's cube was. — Prince Charles was a bachelor. — Pac-Man was a grocery-sacker at Gerbes. — Postage stamps cost less than your allowance. — People who wore knickers couldn’t afford long pants. --- Air Supply was an oxygen tent. — The only place an alligator was seen was in a swamp. —- Calvin Klein was the name of the nerd down the block. — The biggest school problem was de- ciding what part of the school lunch was artificial. — AC DC was only written on the little tag at the end of an electrical cord. McDonald’s actually gave you a break. — Mrs. Hughes only used one red ink pen a week. -— Magnum P.l. was an Army rifle.

The world was stunned when this week, October 6th, Egyptian President Anwar Sa- dat was assassinated. This has delayed the AWACS missile agreement with the Saudi Arabians. Former presidents Carter. Ford, and Nixon will attend the funeral as part of the American delegation. Mr. Campbell popped a surprise fire drill on us yesterday in honor of National Fire Prevention Week. The east exit didn't do too well because the concert choir people got in a traffic jam. Everyone promised to do better next time. The Apple Festival is now over. It went really well, especially the play. Mozurah Pip- pin” which was held in the old Royal theater. Everyone thought it was really neat for the theater to be open again. The first issue of this year’s TIGER TRACKS came out this week. The juniors have ordered their class rings and have been busy selling magazines. C.P. students got carried away when they tried to see how many people they could get in Mrs. Flughes’ tiny back closet. Kelly W. and Robert P. were the glue” holding everyone in while Charlene FI. was passed back to Matt L. shoulders. Debbie B. was under all this mess somewhere on the floor. They only got eight in but are going for 12 the next time. Our football team lost to Camdenton last Friday night but Monday the VB girls got revenge and beat Camdenton in two games.

Last week was Homecoming week and boy was it wild. Something happened every sin- gle night. I'll probably forget something, but here goes Monday was construction day. Most peo- ple dressed up and a few (Debbie B.). were wrapped in '’construction paper.’’ That night we began working on our floats. Tuesday was my favorite day. Everyone dressed 50's. The yearbook staff launched their promotion by holding a slide show. After school, until 615. we decorated the halls. After the decorating was done, we had a Sock Hop which was enjoyed by everyone. Mr. Campbell taught us how to ’ stroll’’ and others (Chris N.) attempted to make up dances like ’’the shark” and ’’the worm.” Wednesday, almost half of the student body punked out.” The BTL club took the top honors. Everywhere a person looked he could see garbage bags, leotards, strange earrings and shoes, and weird hairdos. Kelly W. was sitting in C.P. and her Christmas bulb earring dropped onto her desk, then fell to the floor shattering in a million pieces. I think everyone will remember Rose P. and her mul- ticolored wig. Again this night we worked on the floats-but this time in the rain. Thursday was Preppy Day. Anti-preppist Ginger W. and confirmed preppist Susan R. battled each other all day. At 6:00 we met at the square and had a snake dance through town. We even went through Campbells as a chain. (Remember the Chinese fire drills with Ken Cable?) We then ended up behind the school for a bonfire. Homecoming day was hectic, but it went fast. The parade was great and. for once, started on time. I’ll always remember Shirley B. falling out of the Ecclesia truck in her apple costume. That night at the game it was freezing cold. I felt sorry for the Queen candidates who must have been half-frozen going around on top of the cars. We lost the game to Tipton, but it was a truly memorable week. M.S.

The senior candidate. Miss Cara Gron- stedt. won the illustrious title of 1981-82 Homecoming Queen. Her escorts were Kevin Chamberlain and Todd Hanson. The junior candidate was Miss Stpehanie Steffen, es- corted by Alan Daniels and Sonny Hixson. The sophomore candidate was Miss Tammy Ypya. Tammy’s escorts were Donnie Arment and Tom Scott. The reigning Homecoming Queen was Jackie Tortorice. escorted by Jay Parrish and Wade Chism. The theme of the 1981 82 Homecoming pa- rade floats was ' Fruits and Vegetables. Five floats were entered in the competition and prizes were given for the best three. FLA won first place with the slogan. Tigers Equal 24 Carrot' Gold . Second place was awarded to the sophomore class. Their slogan was Raisin Tigers High. The junior class won third place with the slogan. Squash the Car- dinals. The other two floats entered were the senior class, Berry the Cards and DECA. Tigers love pickled Cardinals. In order to promote more school spirit dur- ing the week a new event was added to the agenda. The class that decorated a hall most effectively won 15 votes for its Queen candi- date. The second place class was awarded ten votes and five votes went to the third place winners. Sophomores won and the sen- iors and juniors came in second and third respectively. Over all the 1981-82 Homecoming week was hectic, but also termed a great success. Students seemed to participate more than they had in recent years. Hopefully, this par- ticipation was the beginning of another great VHS tradition.

The cast will always remember that moment of tension as the cur- tain slowly opened and we were all trying so hard to stay in charac- ter. Most of all. we'll remember all of the fun and work that we put into this play, and all that we learned. By learning I don’t just mean lines, but a whole lot more. We ll never forget that chilly old dressing room, or Susan and Vicki's cold hands as they at- tempted to put on our make-up. Because they used beard stipple for eye make-up. and hair grayer by the tons, we had to scrub all night just to get the top coat of our stage make-up off before school the next dayl Things that will always remain in our minds were the things that went wrong and how panicked we felt as we ad libbed scenes to cov- er up for our mistakes. For in- stance. during the second perfor- mance the curtains did not close after Act I. Also during this same matinee, the stair railings, which had just been constructed, had wet paint on them and we had to be careful not to touch them. Who could forget the look on Edith's face when she turned on the cha- cha record only to find that some- one had set it on fast forward? Or what about Ken Cable putting the Reserved For School Board sign on the entire front row of chairs so that he could have a good seat? Remember the crazy props? Who could ever forget them?!! Re- member the toilet that Mr. Allee got from somewhere? The kinder- gartens' bathtub, or Charlie's sar- dine and onion sandwich which was only two pieces of dry bread? As we signed our names on the stage walls, we finally realized we were through and we had accom- plished a great deal. Even though we had thought of calling things off. we soon realized that it was Never Too Late! M.S. I: Patti Broyles gives stage direc- tions to Charlene Flarrison and Bonnie Comstock. 2.

Dr ama 37 Mafia Day Dominates Spirit Week The 1982 celebration of Court warm- ing brought several new traditions and a lot of spirit to Versailles High School. Along with the event of a king and prince coronation added to the Courtwarming ceremony, students celebrated spirit week the five days before the game. Monday was backwards day. Stu- dents celebrated by wearing shoes, hats, shirts, and jeans backwards. Tuesday was tribute to Star Wars. Space Invaders, and Star Trek. Alumi- num foil and space helmets helped celebrate Future day. The Mafia and Godfather’s pizza visited VHS on Wednesday. Dark threads, (suits), biscuits, (guns), and lapel carnations were standard dress along with short dresses and gobs of a face make-up for the girls. Mafia day received a great deal of participation and was by far the favorite of the students. Thursday VHS students showed their sympathy for the Osage players by dressing up like members of the opposite sex. With the theme Osage players shave their legs. the day had its share of different people. The cheerleaders and drill team developed mustaches, hairy legs, and biceps overnight as several senior boys de- cided to imitate the female sex. Friday was not only Courtwarming day. but it was group picture day as welll General confusion is probably the best adjective to the describe the day. Not only were the queen and princess candidates nervous about the big night, but there were also king and prince candidates who had the jitters. After the excitement and jubilation of spirit week, the Courtwarming game and dance seemed to be a let- down. Versailles lost the game to Osage and the dance in the foyer was sparsely attended. Overall, though. Courtwarming week was one of the bright spots in the cold month of Feb- ruary. « vt F y 2 Is Mrs. Hughes and Mrs. Hutchison confront Papa (Ken Cable) and his mob (Diann Allee.

Bruenners. Bentley's. Cap- tain Hook’s, or the Toledo Room. Students, in their traditional long gowns and tuxedos, danced to the music David Ev- ans (of Quadra Sound System) provided for them. In addition to memory books, which could serve as souvenirs, couples portrait's were also available for five or ten dollars. As prom night came to a close, seniors were left with memories of wills and proph- esies. of slow dances, and the senior boys who did a kick routine to ’’New York.

Spring Fling even the name conjures up images of bright lights, sparkling fountains, and a cheering audience. However, the beauty of the 1983 Spring Fling was seen only on Thursday night. May 13. after many long hours of practice, decoration, and dedication. The first installment of work for Spring Fling began in the fall with the beginning of school. Small groups and soloists began choosing music for auditions. The week before auditions many groups began a furious rush to learn lyris, actions, and music. Accompa- nists were forced to put in late hours transposing music and working with potential acts. Finally audition week materialized. Even while acts sighed with relief at being selected, they were planning costumes and setting practices for the big night. State Music Contest was attended on May I. and then the hard work began. Tickets were passed out by Alowisia and Janet Englemeyer and money was collected. Ken Cable. Dale Fields. Juli Herbert. Jamie Hutchison, and Matt Lewis were chosen to be announcersi one of their requirements being the preparation and memorization of a 30- page script. Programs were typed, accompaniments learned, and lighting was set up in the |umor high gym. All the final preparations for Thursday night were completed until Thursday afternoon. The fence in front of the stage needed to be stuffed with crepe paper pomps. Copies of music disappeared. The curtains didn’t seem to open on cue and fountains gurgled water all over the gym floor. The large cardboard moon on the wall above the side stage threatened to fall at any moment, but the dilligent crew of decorators pressed on. Finally, at 7:53 p.m.. the stage fell silent. The lights dimmed, the curtain opened, and ACTION!! Spring Fling 45 I: Gold Girls and their Big Spender. Steve Hershberger. 2. One More Time for Freshmen Girls Sextet. 3: Mary Lou Eldridge offers her rendition of Special Delivery. 4: Co- hosts Jamie Hutchison and Dale Fields. The 1982 annual Spring Fling was termed one of the best ever. The variety in the show made it enjoyable for all age-groups. There was everything from slow reli- gious songs to zany comedy acts. The crazy antics of Sisters.” Apollo Blue. and The Good Girls were just a few of the highlights. The group referred to as Sisters” was just exactly that — a group of sisters. Beth and Barrie Bauer. Jamie and Dana Hutchi- son. Terri and Tammy Ypya, and Ginger and Cindy White all got up on stage and enacted a typical scene of sisters arguing over anything they could find to fight about. It ended with four husky fellows hav- ing to jump on stage and separate the girls before anyone got seriously hurt. The Apollo Blue was another crowd- pleaser. It began with six attractive males: Alan Weinrich. Donnie Cashman. Daniel McClellan. Cort Guinn. Ron Bentch, and Matt Lewis� dressed in handsome suits singing the beautiful love song. Blue Moon”. They had actions that depicted certain words in the song. They ended the song by turning their backs to the audience and dropping their pants to display bright, shiny, blue shorts. They were Blue Moon- ing the crowd. The Good Girls was another comedy act that had to be seen to be appreciated. Jamie Hutchison. Carolyn Todd, and Lori Boatright made up the group. They sang the song Good Girls Don’t and they dressed in demure dresses, obviously por- traying three little good girls. The chorus went like this? good girls don’t, good girls don’t, good girls don't. then, suddenly, the girls were shoved aside by a sleezy-looking creature. (Russell Bowers dressed as a dis- reputable girhwho sang in a highly off-key voice. But I do!” Mary Lou Eldridge was the first act after Concert Choir’s opening number. She sang a lovely gospel song. Special Delivery.” Sandra Silvey also sang a religious number entitled We Are the Reason. There were several other soloists in the show. Beth Bauer sang For Your Eyes Only,” Russell Bowers sang Lady.” Daniel McClellan sang Still.” Charlie Goodson sang Lost in Love. Barrie Bauer sang Whenever I Call yu Friend. and Lori Boatright sang My Guy. A remaining group who performed was the Gold Mixed Double Quartet. They sang a beautiful love song. Let it Be Me. A duet consisting of Beth Bauer and Ron Bentch sang a popular love song. Endless Love.” The Gold Girls Sextet did a saucey rendi- tion of Big Spender. with Steve Hersh- berger dressed as a very good-looking gambler. Few girls sat through that one without swooning. The Black Mixed Double Quartet did a medley of Beach Boys’ hits. The Senior Girls Sextet sang the Pointer Sisters popular hit. Should I Do It? and the Freshman Sextet sang One More Time.” 47 Sprmg Fling The movies of 1981-82 had much greater variety than previous years. Towards the end of the season, the majority of movies seemed to have more subdued plots. Looking back over the entire year almost every type of movie could be found. There were horror movies, comedies, love stories, murder my- steries. science fiction, and adventures. The movies of the past were mostly slap- stick comedies, wild adventurous westerns, or mysteries. There were also musicals and really every kind of movie previously men- tioned. But. no single year had as much vari- ety as 1981-82. The horror movies of 1981-82 included Hal- loween II. and The American Werewolf in London. The comedies included Stripes. and Porky’s. The best-remembered love Diverse Activities story was Endless Love. Other favorites were Raiders of the Lost Ark. Taps. On Golden Pond. Superman II. Reds. Chariots of Fire. and Absence of Malice. If one had watched these movies he would have been amazed at the different types of plots and characters. Raiders of the Lost Ark” and Superman II had heroic figures, the kind of characters that people tend to idolize. On Golden Pond was totally different. Its main charac- ter was an old man afraid of dying; hardly the type of character one would idolize. Television also had a greater influence in 1981-82 than it had for several years. One reason for the better quality of programs on public broadcasts was the competition it was getting from cable television. So many people were beginning to pay for television, that public broadcasting had to improve its pro- grams in order to keep its audience. Several movies were shown to television at great expense to the networks. Many new programs were introduced. Variety shows such as Solid Gold. and Barbara Mandrell and the Mandrell Sisters” had more sub- stance and quality than the same type of shows of the past. Nighttime soap operas became a craze in 1981-82. Several new soaps were introduced in the evening. When Dallas became such a success the networks began introducing sev- eral others. Dynasty.” Flamingo Road , Falcon Crest. and Knots Landing. were the most popular. 48 Spring Student Life Fill Student Days! I: Donnie and Daniel ham it up during Courtwarming ceremony practice. 2.

Songs create moods as well as reflect them. Favorite hits of the 1981 82 school year in- cluded the mellow songs: Endless Love. by Lionel Richie and Diana Ross� Arthur’s Theme.” by Christopher Cross� and Open Arms. by Journey. These numbers were of- ten referred to as our songs by many steady couples. Other students related to groups such as ZZ Top or Rush. Many was the time a student listened to cuts like the popular Tom Saw- yer or Billy Squire’s The Stroke” at Cam- bell’s after school. Many older and established artists in 1981- $2 made an increase in their popularity. The Rolling Stones toured the U.S. and recorded their Tatoo You” album, which included the songs Start Me Up” and Waiting On A Friend. Olivia Newton-John had no use for her innocent image as she recorded hits such as Physical and Make A Move On Me. Hall and Oates also reappeared on the top charts with tunes such as Private Eyes.” Did It In a Minute.” or Kiss On My List. Successful new performers included Rick Springfield of General Hospital” fame� the Go Go’s, an all girl band� the J. Geils Band� and Sheena Easton. Their number one hits included Freeze Frame” from the album by the same name. Morning Train, and For Your Eyes Only. Country groups were also widely popular. The Oak Ridge Boys’ Elvira” and Bobbie Sue� Alabama, who recorded love In the First Degree.” and the Charlie Daniels Band with In Siagon. were given much radio air- time. Students, who had widely varying tastes, also embraced the Punk groups and their mu- sic. such as Devo’s Working In a Coal Mine” or Rick James’ Super Freak.” Students also enjoyed holdovers from the spring of '81 (such as Celebration by Kool and the Gang) but generally each could say. in the words of Joan Jett.

Spring Student Life 51 Seniors Of 1982 Personalize Graduation The Class of 1982 graduated May 23 in the Versailles High School gym. Because they were only the second class to gra- duate from the new high school building, this class was at liberty to arrange the pro- gram to suit their own taste. The 100 gradu- ating students voted to begin the ceremo- ny at 6:00. rather than the traditional 7:30. This gave the students more time after the ceremony to celebrate with out-of-town guests. Upon the suggestion of the administra- tion. and class officers and sponsors, the graduates decided to enter the gym through the locker rooms rather than the halls. Graduates then sat in the middle of the gym facing east. This gave the audi- ence a chance to see every graduate, ei- ther while entering, or as the student re- ceived his diploma. Parents and friends were encouraged to remain seated during the combined com- mencement and bacculaureate exercises and were instructed to take pictures from their seats only. This was done to avoid confusion around the platform while stu- dents received their diplomas. To compen- sate for the lack of close-up pictures, a professional photographer was hired to take individual pictures. At the practice held on Wednesday. May 21. the students learned how to move their tassels in unison, sit down and stand up on key words, and practiced walking across the stage. At the end of the practice, stu- dents were presented with gifts from the community and letters of congratulations from State Representative. Flavel Butts, and Mr. Allee. Mr. Campbell closed the practice by reminding students to arrive at the ceremony by 5:00 p.m. Also unique to the '82 ceremony was the addition of the Student of the Quarter rec- ognition. Steve Hershberger was named as the fourth quarter recipient. Following tra- dition. the top 20 students of the class were recognized and asked to stand. Vale- dictorian. Matt Lewis, and Salutatorian. Carolynn Todd, were then called from this group and presented their medals by Mr. Campbell. Other scholars who were hon- ored were the senior members of NHS. They were identified by the white cords they wore around their necks. Student speakers were Lori Boatright and Matt Lewis. Their presentations fol- lowed Rev. George Duckworth’s Baccalau- reate address and a song by the senior choir. Diplomas were then presented by Mr. Homer Garber, and thus the 100 stu- dents became graduates of VHS. 52 Graduation I: An over all view of the Class of 1982. 2: Superintendent Vincel Allee intro- duced the senior speakers. 3: Vicki Shewmaker.

Mrs. Cindy Cole, and Mr. Vernon Frank. 8: Two graduates were chosen to speak at the ceremo- ny.

The Tigers had only two starters returning from the previous year. With only four seniors returning, the team lacked senior experience, which the clock went for two points to tie the game. The Tigers came up inches short. From that time on the Tigers found it hard to regroup. Several injuries forced the team to play without key players. The last game also found the Tigers Coach Cornelius gives Kevin the plan. Tigers move another play. Tigers attempt a first down. Bad Cats.i Kevin Chamberlain and Alan Daniels. 58 Varsity Football proved to catch up with the squad. Also, the Tigers found themselves outsized during each game. Many young players were moved into new spots during the year. The young players proved to be the sparkplug of the team but lacked the game experience that was badly needed. The Tigers went up against three teams that made the state playoffs. The first and last games had the fans on the edge of their seats. In the open- ing game against Knob Noster it went to the last play, after the game was over. Versailles scored on the last play of the game, and with no time on going down to the last play, to come up short against California. Individual accomplishments were rewarded with the Bad Cat Club. To gain status in this club, a player had to meet certain requirements. Two athletes made the club in the game against California. Alan Daniels made it for catching 7 passes in a game. Kevin Chamberlain made it for throwing 3 touchdown passes in a game. Wade Chism. Donnie Arment, and Patrick Dreyer were named to the All-Conference team. —Jerry Cornelius Coach Cornelius gives plays from sidelines. Lone Tiger runs ihrough banner at Homecoming.

Football Coach's Summary: The 1981 Junior Varsity Football Team showed the way for the Tiger Football pro- gram. They opened the season with two lop- sided shutouts. Then a tough schedule and several injuries slowed things down a bit. After a last minute loss to Eldon, the Tigers proved their character and won the last two games. They came away with a 4-2 record, while giving valuable experience and playing time to a young squad that will make up next year’s varsity squad. The junior varsity de- served much credit and reward for their sea- son’s accomplishments that will, hopefully, carry over to next year's varsity team. —Jerry Cornelius Versailles 26 Warsaw 0 Versailles 32 Osage 0 Versailles 14 Camdenton 28 Versailles 0 Eldon 6 Versailles 22 California 12 Versailles 24 Tipton 20 J.V.

Coach’s Summary: The 1981 freshman sophomore season proved to be the biggest highlight of the Versailles program. Even though they played only two games, they won both. It was the odds and determination that showed what they were made of. The young Tigers fielded just enough players to put on the field, and had to battle teams with three times the amount of players. Also, to add to the situa- tion was the fact that many players were moved to new positions against bigger play- ers to field a team.

Volleyball Has Winning Season Dear Diary. This week started off badly, but got a little better as it went along. Monday morning I got out of bed later than usual. This, of course, rushed things and when you have brothers and sisters it doesn't seem to go any taster. That same morn- ing on the way to school. I ran out of gas for the first time in my life. It was terri- ble! However. I did make it to school on time, which I guess was one of the good points. But what happened next was even more depressing. I went to class and we began grading our homework, only to realize I did the wrong stupid assignment. Luckily, the teacher said I could do it over. Guess what?! When lunchtime came I realized I had forgotten my lunch in my mad morning rush. I had no money with me. but I had a friend who did. After lunch I went to my locker, thinking I'd clean it out. I found a library book that had been due a week-and-a half ago. Talk about days when your hair held up and you haven't. Even my hair didn't hold up. Halltlllllll Wednesday was great fun for many reasons. First of all. it was the last day of the week since we got out the next two days for Thanksgiving vacation. All the teachers were nice and didn't give any homework. The play matinee was held the last three hours and was enjoyed by everyone. That night I went to see Ar- thur with some of my friends. This was even better because Wednesday night is half-price night! Today is Thanksgiving and most of my relatives have gone home. I suppose I’ll go eat some more of our left-over turkey.

Placing third in thier own tournament, they used a strong defense and in- tense play to take the top spot in the Lincoln Tournament. Hopes ran nign as the Tigerettes ran their winning streak to seven before a late season stumble in two conference games took the sting out of their attack. Struggling the rest of the season, they never regained the mid-season form settling for a 15-7 record. 3 and 3 in the conference and a disappointing showing in Regional play. Although not reaching pre-season goals, the T iger- ette season had many high points. Stephane Steffen moved into the num- ber one spot in both season and ca- reer scoring, while setting three other school records. Strong defensive play was the trademark through the year and their consistant never quit atti- tude was in keeping with the Tiger- ette play of previous years. As in years past Only the best was good enough. — Coach Vern Frank Girls Ba$ketball 69 I Tracv prepares to add two more points. 2.

Coach’s Summary The junior varsity Tigerette basket- ball team of 1981-82 was one of slow progress The young ladies never got into the swing of the season until the last few games where they came forth with great effort to make anyone proud. Winless in ten games they showed promise and fundamental de- velopment was emphasized. Patience and practice will prove valuable in years to come as these young ladies graduate to varsity play. - Vern Frank Wrestlers Send Four To Regionals Varsity Wrestling Row I: Joe Gramke.

It has been really snowy and we've lost three or four snow days. The wind is terribly cold and a lot of people are sick. Now we're getting used to our new class changes. Basketball seems to be go- ing better since we got second in the Warsaw tournament and third in the Cali- fornia Invitational. This last week was the Eldon tournament but we lost to Eldon for consolation. Court warming is next week but no one seems that enthused. P.E. classes are doing something new this year. They’re running to the beat They're running to music, taking their pulse, then running again. Everyone is really in shape. A lot of people had a screaming fit the other day during lunch when they went to use the bathroom and found the iron gates were down and teachers were pa- trolling the halls not letting us go any- where. There was a big ruckus and the next day we were to go down the halls again. Bette Davis Eyes was the song of the year and tonight I'm going to see the movie ' Taps starring Timothy Hutton. President Reagan gave his new fedara- lism speech the other night on TV and that seems to be all that is talked about in the newspapers. (But so is Nancy Rea- gan's designer clothes and her new chi- na). The U.S. Brig. Gen. James Dozier was released from his captivity in Italy.

Several of the girls had to enter more than one event. The seniors on the team were Terri Ypya, Trisha Hancock. Dawn Cherico. Carol Napier, and Shirley Bax- ter. These girls relied upon experience gained in past years and helped strengthen the team. Girls who received medals this track sea- son were Debbie McFarland. Beth Heitzman. Stephanie Steffen. Trisha Hancock, and Lisa Petty. Two school records were also broken in 1982. Lisa Petty broke the high jump record with a jump of 5T The previously estab- lished record was set in 1975 and tied in 1979 at 5' r.

Everyone is catching spring fever as we are all dying to play tennis or just sit outside. FHA had a week all to themselves in honor of FHA week. Hush-puppy day was a lot of fun, the boys got a girl’s hush-puppy if the girl spoke to him. They also took class per- sonality surveys and the results were really good. They had a lunch for the teachers, and had an assembly on Friday. Last week we had a Student-of-the Ouar ter assembly and the gueat speaker was Ken- ny Teeple. President of the Alumni Associ- ation. Carolynn Todd won. but Ken C. took the medal back to get it personalized for her. At first I think she thought he was stealing it. One day last week we had a talk on poor sportsmanship, and Tipton wrote us a letter to say they were sorry for stomping on the bleachers. The senior class had a big talk and discus- sion on the subject of senior week, though nothing was resolved. Basketball is coming to an end with only the Regionals left. Track and golf meetings are now beginning. I m going out and soak up some of the sun before the rays are gone. Until next time. M.S. Above: President Matt Lewis addresses the student body at an assembly. At right: Lori Boatright, the harassed Student Council sec- retary. ’’You guys. I can only write so fasti Student Council began the 1981-82 year with the Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethon — an all night event. Along with answering tele- phones and soliciting dollars in the pouring rain at the four-way stop was an impromptu game of Family Feud at 1.00 in the morning and a grape-throwing and catching competi- tion. Next on the Student Council agenda was a well-organized Homecoming week. Three new traditions were introduced: hall- decorating. a sock hop. and a snake dance and bonfire. Student Council sponsored Stu- dent of-the Quarter Assemblies, a Spirit Club, and other various events during the year. Courtwarming was given a whole new look, with the addition of a King and Prince coronation. The Student Council also pur- chased the sceptor and new coronation robes. A few projects, such as selling tickets for the drama class play and a car bash for the Apple Festival weren't completely suc- cessful. due to complications. But. one can never say that the 1981-82 Student Council was not full of school spirit. It was not always easy to be optimistic, but there was always someone who had a good word to say or some suggestion that would better the school. It was definitely a year of new tradi- tions and the 1981-82 Student Council was one of the reasons for those new traditions. 86 Student Council Seniors Honored By Quarter Awards Matt spends many hours working at Campbell's Among her many duties. Jamie was captain of Drill Team. Drive-In. Carolynn was very active in musical performances at VHS. Steve's humor, as exhibited on Courtwarm- ing mix-em-up day. Character Service Cooperation Leadership Academics. All five of these qualities are pre requisites for the highest honor bestowed upon a student by the Student Council, the Versailles High School faculty, and the VHS student body. Instituted in 1979, the Student of the Quarter Award has been used to rec- ognize students who have been involved in extra-curricular activities, and who have contributed a great deal of their time to improve school life. A Student Council committee com- posed of two seniors, two juniors, and two sophomores organized the Student of the Quarter selections and assemblies for the year. The committee chose several teachers to serve on a selection commit- tee to make the final choice for Student of the Quarter. The committee was also responsible for selecting speakers to pre- sent the awards and to speak at the as- semblies. Students who were chosen as Student of the Quarter this year were Matt Lewis, first quarter� Carolynn Todd, second quarter� Jamie Hutchison, third quarter� and Steve Hershberger, fourth quarter. All of these students have demonstrated a seriousness toward their studies and furthering their educations. Three of them plan to attend college� Matt plans to attend MIT in Boston.

FLA celebrated it’s first Christmas Festival with songs, dances, poems, and desserts from Spain and France. FLA also sponsored a roller skating party on March 12 and a spring picnic in the city park. April 12-16 was FLA Week. At a taco party the officers were installed, awards were given, and the senior FLA members were honored. FLA not only had many activities, but raised money by selling nachos at the FHA Carnival on Sept. 22. selling apple cake at the Apple Festival on Oct. 23. and holding a St. Patrick’s Day bake sale on Mar. 17. On February 26. FLA, along with DECA. sponsored the MDA volleyball tournament to raise money for Muscular Dystrophy. Around $2500 was raised due to the dedication of FLA members. Mrs. Caine.

Tiger Tracks, the high school newspaper, managed (despite occassional late copy, missing pictures, and misspelled headlines) to keep the student body informed about school-wide, town-wide, and even nation- wide news. Senior editor Juli Herbert commented. I think Tiger Tracks is greatly improved over last year.

These students (Gardith Calvert. Marsha Daniels. Gloria Porter. Lynne Rit- chie. Vicki Shewmaker. and Wendy Slagle) were required to be in the upper third of their classes and the top of their journalism class. Three senior members (Juli Herbert.

Each club encourages mem- bers to help one another become bet- ter people and better examples of what the Lord can do with life. They discuss methods of dealing with ever- yday problems and life in general. Both groups were active in activi- ties together and apart. In the MDA volleyball marathon, both groups joined together and formed their own team. They were both included in var ious activities during the FHA Carni- val. Ecclesia members sponsored a game of water-balloon volleyball while FCA held a kissing booth. On March I. the FCA organized and helped with a blood drive. It was a large success; many people participated and donat- ed their time. Ecclesia met each Tuesday and Thursday morning, while FCA met ev- ery Wednesday at noon in fellowship. FCA.

Those clubs were the National Honor Society (NHS) and the Future Teach- ers of America (FTA). NHS had several requirements for its mem- bers. Sophomores and juniors had to main- tain a 9.2 grade point average and seniors a 9.0 average. Each member also had to display leadership qualities and had to be active in school functions. FTA members had to have an interest in the teaching profession to be allowed in the club. FTA had several meetings and their major project was FTA week. April 26-30. During that week, the members provided snacks for the teacher's lounge. NHS members were responsible for making the high and regular honor roll ribbons every quarter. They also had a committee that sent letters of congratulations to students who excelled in certain areas, but did not receive recognition for their accomplishments. During the Christmas season. NHS mem- bers donated food and delivered it to a needy family. NHS also had an NHS week. April 19-22. It ended with the Induction cere- mony Thursday. April 22.

Art Guild was newly formed this year and is composed of four members and Mrs. Wini McKinley. In joint effort with the sixth hour Art in the Community class, the club planned many different projects during the year. At the beginning of the year they created a collage of school clubs which was displayed during the FHA Carnival. In the Homecoming parade they designed and constructed a ban ner. They promoted Christmas spirit by painting window designs all over the school. To be a member, a person must have had one year of art and maintain at least an S aver- age. He must also enroll in an art class the following year. All four members attended the art contest in Warrensburg. and two also attended an art workshop at MU. The Versailles Athletic Club has been around for many years. Their main objective is to organize moneymaking projects in or- der to pay for new. and maintain old. athletic equipment. At every home game, members sold popcorn and soda in the concession stand and all the profits went to VAC. They helped sponsor the Harlem Wizards game by selling tickets and organizing the game. The club is also in charge of letter jackets. They vote on where other letters and patches are to be placed. No other club can merely stick a patch on the letter jacket without first get- ting an approval from VAC. It is a club that will be around for many years to come. Art Guild: Row I: Rita Frazier.

The Technical school in Eldon is not just for Eldon High School students. Sev- eral other schools in the area send stu- dents to the tech school to take advan- tage of the skills taught. Versailles has been one of these schools for several years. The students sent to Eldon Tech had to fulfill several requirements. Rating sheets were sent to several teachers and each student selected was evaluated. The stu- dents were graded on their regular atten- dance. preparedness in class, good be- havior. and punctuality. The students percentage on the Armed Services Voca- tional Aptitude Battery Test (AS-VAB) was only taken into consideration. Only juniors and seniors were eligible to apply for admission to Eldon Tech School. There were several classes of- fered such as: auto mechanics, auto body, building trades and maintainence. marine services, electronics, and graphic com- munications. The programs offered took four hours every school day. The stu- dents taking the classes received the same credit at Eldon that they would have received had they been taking a course at VHS. The advantages of going to Eldon Tech were that the students were trained by instructors who were specialized. They were getting an idea of what college would be like, and they were taking courses that really appealed to them. It also gave the students a wider variety of classes to choose from. The Eldon Tech School was an addition that truly benefit- led the Versailles High School curriculum and students. The industrial arts program in the Versailles High School had many benefits for its participants. The classes were designed to give the students a knowledge of a trade. A student was able to start working right after graduation if he had taken one of the industrial arts courses. The carpentry classes were re- quired to build an entire house. Each house built by the class was then put on the market and sold at a competitive price. This program was a definite learning experience for the students, and after gradu- ation they had valuable knowledge to help them when trying to get a job as a carpenter. Morning Eldon Tech.

Many of the clubs took part in this activity and profited from it. In October they held a Spook-Spectacular Halloween party where everyone had to dress up (or pay at the door). They made their own haunted house from a banquet table with everything from cow s eyes (grapes) to cat’s intestines (spa ghetti). They also had a weather room that included everything from tropical heat to ar- tic ice. It was a great success and many students other than FHA members came. In November, the Regional meeting was held in Belle. It was a big change and was enjoyed by many. Everyone especially loved those steep hills. In December, the group held a Christmas party at Dr. Kauffman's home and went caroling around Versailles. They came back and exchanged gifts and played games, such as the game Newlywed Secrets. Every month a group luncheon was held and these were always well-attended. In Jan- uary they held an On Strike bowling party and afterwards had a pizza party and picked Boy and Girl of the Year candidates. February was the big month for FHA. Feb. 8-Q was National FHA Week. They had a Valentine luncheon, a Mexican dinner for the teachers. Hush Puppy Day. Penny-for-a-Piz- za. a Skate A Thon, class personality sur- veys. and their own assembly on Friday. The Klutz Award (which was merely a tennis shoe tacked to a board) was well-received by the student body. FHA had many other activities during the year, and altogether, was one of the most active clubs at VHS. FHA.

Along with all the other activities during FHA Week, an FHA Boy and Girl of the Year are crowned annually at the FHA assembly. In 1981-82 the candidates were selected and voted on by the FHA members. Their names were then submitted to the remaining student body. The sophomore candidates. Cindy Homan and Mike Baumgartner, were the winners of this award. Senior can- didates were Cheryl McFarland and Tom Scott. Junior candidates were Rita Frazier and Ted Heitzman. FFA had their annual challenge trac- tor pull and barbecue in October. They also had a Tractor Pull Queen coronation where the winner was cho- sen in an unusual manner. The class selling the most tickets determined the outcome of the royalty. Freshman candidate Lana Hutchison won the ti- tle. The senior candidate was Angela Leatherman. junior Sue Francis and sophomore Diane Hershberger. The tractor pull and barbecue was a great success and the FFA boys made ap- proximately $400. I: FFA Tractor Pull Queen candidates: Diane Hershberger. Angela Leather man.

If they fulfill all of the requirements, they are allowed to graduate to the second level, called Chapter Farmer, then to Area Farmer. State Farmer, and various other proficiency awards. Several VHS FFA members attended the National FFA Convention held in Kansas City. Some of the Greenhands attended the Greenhand Motivational Conference. The VHS FFA Chapter was represented at the District FFA Contest in Warrensburg and the State Convention in Columbia. They en- tered in several categories such as cattle judging, dairy products, parlia- mentary procedure, creed speaking, public speaking. FFA knowledge, and extemporaneous speaking. Their final project of the year was the traditional FFA banquet held in the elementary cafeteria. At this time various awards were presented and incoming officers were installed.

DECA-Distributive Educational Clubs of America was one of the most active clubs in the high school in 1981-82. Its sponsor was Mr. Steve Stewart, the COE (Cooperative Occu- pational Education) teacher. Versailles High School DECA officers were Sonny Hixson-president� Daniel McClellan- vice-president� Sue Francis-secretary� Mar- sha Daniels-treasurer� Mike Easterly-report- er� and Marty Hansen-sergeant-at-arms. In order to cover their expenses. DECA had many money-making projects. In 1981-82. DECA was allowed to run a snack bar at noon. They found this to be profitable. Every year there are DECA State Officer elections. The Versailles DECA club sent four members to Jeff City to watch these pro- ceedings. It was later discovered that of the 12 clubs in the Versailles District, only three sent representatives to the state officer elections. Nine students from Versailles went to the Lodge of the Four Seasons for the District DECA Contest. Cort Guinn was awarded sec- ond place in Service Station Retailing. He re- turned to the Lodge of the Four Seasons March 21. 22. and 23 for the State DECA Contest. In the latter part of February. DECA and FLA (Foreign Language Alliance) sponsored a volleyball marathon for the Muscular Dystro- phy Association. Some DECA students had gone to Tan-Tar-A earlier in the year to a Muscular Dystrophy Convention. It was at Tan-Tar-A that the students got the idea for the marathon. They got nine teams together from the school and community. Each team member was to get at least 24 sponsors. Each team consisted of five men and five women. It began Friday. February 26 at 7:00 p.m. and ended 20 hours later. It was a great success and everyone seemed to enjoy it immensely, even though they were bordering on exhaus- tion. Around $2500 was taken in for Muscular Dystrophy causes. The final project that every DECA club has is its spring banquet. The 1981-82 COE ban- quet was held on April 24. At this banquet all the employers were recognized, and the COE students were honored for their work. Cort and Beth. I hope Mr. Stewart doesn’t talk too much today. IS IN C. 0.

Concert Choir, a select group of 96 high school singers, enjoyed a fun and exciting year in 1981-82. The choir presented a fall concert, an Easter concert for the Ministe- rial Alliance, and the Spring Fling. The choir prepared a Christmas concert that was cancelled at the last moment due to snow. The Concert Choir participated in contests at the Tri-County and District level. At Tri-County the choir excelled this year as never before, earning a 1+ rating. The Boy's Glee came home with a I and the Girl's Glee was awarded a I +. Concert Choir director Mrs. Jlee Woolley commented, The Concert Choir has reached a new high this year as far as balance and intensity are concerned. Nev- er before has the choir had this much vocal range.” Concert Choir sent ten people to the District Choir. Two stu- dents made State Choir� seniors Lori Boatright and Carolynn Todd participated with the Missouri State Choir on Jan 21-23 at Tan- Tar A. With seven small ensembles and 14 vocal solos going to contest, there was no lack of talented vo- calists. According to Mrs. Wool- ley.

Mixed Chorus, one of Versailles' two vocal music groups, met first and seventh hour during the school day. Both classes practiced together two mornings at 7:45. before each of their four performances. Mixed Chorus presented a fall and spring concert. They also were prepared to sing at the cancelled Christmas concert, and they performed at Spring Fling. Mrs. Jlee Woolley commented. Mixed Chorus gets better each year. This year the voices are well-balanced and I am very happy with their sound. Although Mixed Chorus was open to all high school students, it was not an easy class. Being in Mixed Chorus is hard. said Mrs. Woolley. I see a lot of pride in many faces. The Mixed Chorus at their October concert. Mixed Chorus altos listen for their pitch from the pianist.

After nothing but male directors for years, the students had to adjust to a female teacher. But. the adjustment was easily made. Ms. Ballance was well-received by students and faculty alike. Ms. Ballance also had to make ad- justments. She had to learn how to handle the students, what sort of schedule would be acceptable, and the attitude of the people in general. She did all these things well. The VHS band marched at home football games and were in charge of the pep band. They also marched in the Second Annual Apple Festival. Their first 198} concert was Feb. 1st. Tri-county music contest was March }Oth at California. The band received a II rating, but several en- sembles were in the I category. April }nd they went to the District music contest in Warrensburg. The band received a III rating. Alicia Will- son’s clarinet solo. Sean Concannon's trumpet solo, and a clarinet quartet all received I’s and went to the State contest in Columbia. May 1st. Another band also played within the Versailles High School. It did not re- ceive as much recognition as the con- cert band, but the students who par- ticipated in it enjoyed it immensely. It was the VHS Jazz Band. Ms. Ballance tried to set an hour aside to have a class period for it. but too many of the participants had schedule conflicts. The only time they could meet was either before school, in the evenings, or on weekends. They decided to meet every Thursday morning at 7:30 a.m. and sometimes in the evening. A professional bass guitar player. Jim Widner. held a clinic for the VHS Jazz Band. It took place on March }3rd and lasted from 7:00-9:00 in the evening. The students felt this clinic was beneficial and that they learned quite a lot from Mr. Widner. The band program had not been as strong as the choral department for several years. But. with Ms. Ballance’s abounding enthusiasm, and the stu- dents’ cooperative actions, it was definitely a year of growing. The fu- ture of the VHS band looks bright. Band 103 Dear Diary. It's beautiful outside even though last night was filled with tornado warnings and severe thunderstorms. Today we had a tornado drill during 2nd hour. I thought it never would end!

In the world outside of school life, comedian John Belushi. of Saturday Night Live” fame, has died. Af first, offi- cials claimed Belushi choked, and now proclaim he died of an overdose of co- caine and heroin. The song Centerfold” by the J. Giles band has been at the top of the charts for six weeks now. Private Lessons” and On Golden Pond” seem to be the most popular movies among VHS students. Saturday is Tri-County music contest at California. Thursday, the Harlem Wiz- ards. featuring Marques Haynes, are coming to Versailles. Thursday the busi- ness classes will be traveling to Sedalia to the State Fair College for a business ma- chine show. Golf and track have started and a lot of people are disgusted over the confused parking situation in the front of the school. Tomorrow is St. Patrick’s Day. Many of our college friends are home on spring break and are running around town and coming to school to visit us. French braid- ing seems to be fashionable and a lot of the girls are wearing their hair in braided styles. Until next time. MS. Clarinet Quartet: Lecia Tubbs. Alicia Willson. Davida Marsh.

Shelia Pryor. Paula Leatherman. Lisa Williams. The auxiliary for the Versailles High School band had only been in existance two years in 1981-82. They were a definite asset to the appearance of the marching band. They gave the band a prestige that it had not had before. The auxiliary made up their own routines, were at all band prac- tices. in addition to often practic- ing on their own. The girls had to learn all of the marching steps, plus their routines, because they led the band in all of the parades. The summer before school start- ed the VHS band auxiliary attend- ed a four-day clinic in Columbia. Mo. called The Marching Band Caravan. AH instructors at this clinic were very well qualified. Most of them had been members of drum and bugle corps all over the U.S. The VHS corps returned from this camp with new skills and routines, thus adding much color to the marching band's perfor- mances.

Mrs. Adelia Hutchison, adviser 1981-82 was the VHS drill team's fifth sea- son. Every year the drill team seems to improve, and this year was no exception. Members started working last summer on routines to be performed during the school year, and they attended a camp in Spring- field. Mo. where they learned several new dances. Every other year drill team purchases new uniforms. They participate in several money-making projects in order to raise enough money for these uniforms. This year they had a car wash at Stephens’ Con- oco. Laurie Cinema donated profits from a movie to them, the City of Versailles paid members to paint yellow parking lines around the courthouse, and the Drill Team also sold balloons and ran a fish pond at the Apple Festival held in October. In addition to all of the work drill team members did to raise money, they also learned and performed these II routines: Magic Celebrat ion” At the Hop” Hot Lunch Jam” Hit Me With Your Best Shot” Beer Barrel Polka Cotton-eyed Joe” Disco Inferno Wabash Cannonball In the Mood Greased Lightning” Students of VHS realize the drill team's quality standards of performance. They saw them perform routines at all of the home football and basketball games, and many saw them perform at the Morgan County Fair in August. The VHS drill team has begun to receive recognition from peo- ple outside of Versailles also. In 1982 the girls were asked to perform for the third consecutive year at the State Basketball playoffs in Columbia. The girls did a routine to Greased Lightning” on March 12 at the Hearnes Center, and they were warmly re- ceived by Missouri High School basketball fans. Suzy.

These girls trav- eled to all ballgames with the athe- letic team they represented. The girls made many spirit posters and signs, as well as often providing their athletes with buttons on days of competition, or candy at pep assemblies. The football cheerleaders helped with the Homecoming snake dance and bonfire and the wrestling cheerleaders gave an end-of-the season party for the wrestlers. Volleyball cheerleaders.

This book was published exclusively for ele- mentary students and delivered to them in the spring. The yearbook staff, consisting of nine newcomers and three experienced staffers, often good-naturedly complained about their unexpected workload. Starting the first week of school, staffers began planning the 1983 book, and learning yearbook terms and procedures. Selling candy, counting change, and participating in yearbook promotions be- came second nature to the 1983 staff. Staff members sacrificed several Saturday nights to sell candy at tournaments, the Volleyball Marathon, and the Apple Festival. Members also helped clean the old Royal Theater for the community production of Mozurah Pip- pin” during the festival. As the staff continued to work together on the book’s production, friendships were formed and each individual found a job that he did particularly well. Lance Newkirk was named layout editor. His job was to approve all layouts before pictures were chosen for them. Lori Boatright was chosen as copy edi- tor. Along with copy-people Charlene Harri- son and Carolynn Todd, she made sure all articles were written for the book. Charlene also edited the DIARY section of the book. All staff members wrote their own personal en- tries on a bi-weekly basis and Charlene then condensed them. Alan Weinrich. photography editor, was responsible for seeing that pictures of events were taken. Because pictures make up such a large portion of the book, photographers Shana Siler and Ginger White were also kept busy taking, as well as developing and print- ing pictures. Juniors Penny Patton and Bonnie Com- stock identified and stamped literally hun dreds of pictures for the book. Often this procedure required that their work be done at home. Junior editor Mary Lou Eldridge was in charge of purchasing candys and Rodney Culp’s job was to tally daily profits. Thus, staff members learned the difficulties of fi- nancing a book and producing it. It was not unusual for staff members or their adviser. Linda Gordon, to leave the school until 5:00 and sometimes later. The staff will always remember the but- terfly shooter or meeting deadlines under the influence of Rick Springfield and Olivia Newton-John’s music. It is their wish that you will enjoy this book and its memories as much as they already have. Mirror Staff. Row L Shana Siler. Penny Patton. Linda Gordon, advisers Ginger White.

The days seem to be getting longer and tem- peratures jump from freezing numbers to the mid TO's. Today it stormed and rained after the beautiful day we had yesterday. Music contest on March 30th was a big success and choir members didn't get much of a break before going back to District con- test in Warrensburg today. With all the band and choir people gone, the school seemed empty. Besides the music people, there were 63 absentees. I'll bet most people were skip- ping. but I don’t blame them. When music members arrived at school about 5:00 this morning, all the gates were locked. There was a big traffic pile-up all the way from Don Vance Ford to United Super. Talk about the great American traffic jaml The NCAA basketball finals and the Acade- my Awards were on Monday night at the same time. Many people spent the evening switching channels in order to catch as much of each event as possible. The NCAA game was hard to leave. It was an exciting game. North Carolina fans were ecstatic when they beat Georgetown by a mere one point. The academy awards were really great this year too. Henry Fonda and Katharine Hepburn were the Oscar winners for best actor and actress for their performance in On Golden Pond. The best picture was Chariots of Fire and the list goes on and on. Four students from our school and four students from Eldon exchanged places the other day so each could see another's school system. The space shuttle finally landed — hurray for the U.S. Later. M.S.

It was decided not only to hold a dance the night of April 15th. but also a senior autograph party. As seniors entered, each was given a supplement that could be placed in their yearbook when they receive it. The dance lasted from 7:00-9:15. with Kevin Wilson as disc-jockey. At 8:00 the coronation was held; crowning Cindy White and Richard Helds the 1982 Mirror Queen and King. Their court members were seniors Juli Herbert and Steve Yoder, and sophomores Jacquie Barnard and Vince Williams. Senior candidates Steve Yoder and Juli Herbert Mirror King and Queen Richard Fields and Cindy White Students reminisce as they begin to say good- bye to the seniors.

The speech and drama students took several trips out of town to see plays and to take part in speech contests. They went to the Jefferson City Little Theater to see Carnival’ and to CMSU in Warrens- burg to see Blythe Spirit. They also took part in the Simen- son speech contest, the Belle Heart of America Tournament, the Branson Invitational, and they hosted the Ozark Festival. The Ozark Festival included 12 schools from Missouri. Arkan- sas. and Kansas. The Junior High Student Council had many duties and re- sponsibilities to perform. They were in charge of several dances and designing the bulletin boards in the front lobby. They undertook several projects, such as fixing up the girls' locker room, organizing activities for the noon hour, and spirit week. Both organizations made valuable contributions to Ver- sailles Junior High, and the members were always actively involved.

Coach’s summary The eighth grade |u mor high Tigers closed their basketball season on a winning note, finishing with a six win-four loss season. Of their lour losses, one was a double-overtime loss to Tipton, and another overtime loss came from the hands of the Osage Indians. The other two losses came against Eldon. The season started out on a slow note for the Tigers. With a record of two wins and four losses at mid-January they decided four losses was enough. The eighth grad ers were undefeated in the Versailles Ju mor High Invitational Tournament and beat Boonville to finish the season. — Jeff Schnakenberg Season Record Tigers Opp. Eldon 18 36 California 35 13 T ipton 48 49 Boonville 35 33 Eldon 30 33 Osage 34 35 Warsaw 53 18 California 34 19 Tipton 33 19 Boonville 33 39 Coach's summary The seventh grade Tigers suffered a disappointing season, finishing with one win six losses.

Coach's summary: After losing their first four games, the seventh and eighth grade girls went 10-3 to finish with a 10-7 overall record. The eighth grade won eight straight games to finish 80. The eighth grade wins included three straight tournament victo- ries. defeating Eldon for their only loss of the season, and ending the season with 47 points against Osage. The strong point of this year's team was balance. Ten players who played well together made for a super team! The only weakness was waiting too late in the game to take charge and win. Six of the ten games were won or lost by two or less points. This was great for the fans, but very hard on the coach! We had fun learning to- gether and that's what sports are all about at this level. — Linda Scott Seventh grade girls basketball Back In Susan Letchworth. Lisa Hedrick. Marjorie Packet!.

This year the awards assembly at the junior high school changed. Honors were awarded to regu- lar and high honor roll students and also to those with perfect attendance. The major difference was the fact that a tal- ent show was incorporated within the assembly . The show was organized by Ms. Jane Wilson, English teacher. It involved many creative acts. The seventh grade cheerleaders played baseball to the tune of Take Me Out to the Ball Game, and another group of girls danced to the song Private Eyes. There were three vocal duets as well as speeches and dramatic readings. The junior high band also performed a short recital. I: But I've never seen that note before!” 2: Read- er’s theater takes great concentration. 3: Walter changed appearances for the show! 4: The VJH version of the Go Gos : the Stop Stops. 5: Would You” was one of the more serious num- bers performed at the talent show. 142 Junior High Talent Show V.J.H.

With music supplied by Mike Heimsoth. the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades celebrated their last school dance, the only formal event of the year. Queen candidates for the evening were Barrie Bauer. Kimberly Chamberlain, and Lisa Williams, with King candidates Andy Erb. Bob Gerlt. and Mitch Turpin. The highlight of the evening was the coronation, during which Kimberly Cham- berlain and Bob Gerlt were named Queen and King of the dance. At the end of the evening, the students returned home with souvenirs of the dance, such as memory books and bright- ly-colored flowers. Their most valuable souvenirs, however, will be their warm memories of Laughter in the Rain.” These Were ’The Days Of Our August 27. 1981: First day of school September 22. 1981 FHA Carnival September 23. 1981: Junior Magazine sales started October 6. 1981: FFA Tractor Pull October 17. 1981: Versailles won the Versailles Volleyball Tournament.
