H hoto credit: Rick Bias Title Page 1 COME ON ALONG Come on along and take a look at Versailles. Versailles is a small rural town with a popula- tion of approximately 2400 people. The busin- esses in town range from an old-fashioned ice cream store to Pizza Hut and Wal-mart. The town is located near the Lake of the Ozarks. Because of this, students of VHS had access to activities at the lake. Weekend fun was spent by students at the movies or simply crusin’ around town. Campbell's Drive-In, the local hangout, was frequented by students after school, sports practice and games. The majority of the families are middle-class workers. Employment ranges from doctors and lawyers to plant workers. Versailles has its own clinic with three full time doctors. Gates Rubber Plant and Wallace Pencil Factory each employ a great number of workers. Versailles is the coun- ty seat, and home of the Morgan County library and courthouse. Morgan County R-ll school system is located in Versailles. This system educates grades kin- dergarten through senior high school. Classes started August 26th without too much difficulty. Clubs elected presidents and other officers. College Prep students started on research papers and Mrs. Hughes made her first red mark on an unsuspecting senior's paper. So, Come On Along—school has started and the fun has begun. 2 Student Lite ■ 1: The local Wal-Mart store provides students with vast products.

The Dating Game” visited Versailles via Tracy Brown and the cheerleaders. Bruce Randall, a dunce whose favorite song was The ABC’s”; Kevin Chamberlain, quarterback for rival team Knob Noster, and Donnie Arment, the good guy player for the Tigers. Davida Marsh made the correct choice and The Dating Game sent Donnie and Davida to Knob Nos- ter for the Game. Wendy Slagle, captain of the varsity volley- ball team gave a rousing speech to the stu- dents about spirit. Football captains. Ron Bentch and Junior Moritz also gave speeches trying to boost the spirit of the student body. The varsity football team defeated Knob Nos- ter at their first game of the season. The volleyball girls beat Marshall to earn third place in the Sacred Heart Tournament. It seemed that all of the organizations wanted to celebrate the start of school. Most clubs held picnics to get to know one another better. In the fall of 1982, students received their Student Handbooks. In School Suspension was made stricter. ISS, as it was affectionate- ly called, was located in the Junior High. Mr. Dennis Vallandingham was the ISS enforce- ment officer. The junior class, as always, started to choose their class rings and the seniors chose their graduation announcements. The halls seemed to be more crowded and there were fewer teachers, but all in all it was a good start.

The process of choosing a college to attend was a continuous one. it began long before the senior year. Students were flooded with mail from schools looking for prospective students. Tests such as the ACT and SAT needed to be prepared for and taken. Precious days in school were sacri- ficed” to enable students to visit colleges which interested them. Scholarships and fi- nancial aid forms had to be filled out and sent in before the rapidly approaching dead- lines arrived. It seemed as though the list of things to do would never end. But finally, the long list of prospective colleges was reduced to only two or three. Applications had to be sent in and then the waiting and wondering began. Of course, some students didn’t exper- ience the same anxieties. For them, college was not the answer. Instead, they chose to work full-time immediately after graduation. But they. too. had a difficult task to accom- plish. The process of looking for that perfect job was sometimes very discouraging. But for those with enough determination to keep searching, the process was very rewarding. Soon they were earning enough money to be self-supporting and no longer needed to de- pend on others. The senior year was a time for deciding about college, but it was also a time for learning. It was a time when students could see how well they would perform when faced with important decisions. It was a difficult time, but it was only the beginning of the many decisions to be made. Decisions concerning our present, our future, and our- selves. 1: Helen is living proof that some seniors do take time to study. 2: Rodney studies his chemistry in computer science- Seniors 9 ..

Many of the long lost styles from a decade ago made their reappearance in the fashion world. Fashions from the early 70's, such as mini skirts, recently became popular. Due to the wide variety of styles available, people had a greater freedom of choice when choosing what.to wear. Doing your own thing was the order of the day in fashion. The styles were bold and each individual cre- ated a unique appearance. Walking down the hall a person might have seen anything from mini skirts and knickers for girls to pin striped suits and designer jeans for guys. A few punk-rockers even made their way into Versailles. There were still many people who enjoyed the preppy look of penny loafers and split skirts. It seemed true preppists would never die. Two new styles, the doctor and the army look, were introduced. Many people liked to be seen in army pants with a dominant green color. Surgical shirts were also very popular. New fads were also started. The unicorn became a popular animal with unicorn pins, buttons and posters seen everywhere. “Deely- Bobbers , which consisted of a head band and two springs with various objects attached to the ends of them, also became a new fad item. The styles were rapidly changing at Ver- sailles in 1982-'83. The guys and girls enjoyed trying new and different clothing styles during their high school years. ... Henry Fonda died ...

Lil’ Abner success ?0 jumors Higher prices in many areas of day-to-day expenses caused many students to spend more conservatively. The decreased availabil- ity of jobs contributed to the shortage of spending money. It seems as though fewer students drove to school. The once crowded |unior-sophomore parking lot seemed almost empty. There even seemed to be fewer seniors driving to school. The spacious lots were largely due to the high cost of driving. Some of the outrageous expenses that the students of VHS encountered including: gas, at approximately $1.20 per gallon; cafeteria lunches $.80 per day; sandwiches sold at the snack bar by COE were also $.80. Jeans could rarely be found for less than $25.00. Movies were no longer the favorite form of entertainment as they were no longer inex- pensive. By the time one considered all of the expenses involved-gas for the car, tickets for the movie ($3.00), and often food after- wards-going to the movies no longer seemed as fun. Instead, many students opted for staying home and tolerating the re-runs and old mov- ies on T V. Other students would congregate at Pizza Hut to talk and sometimes even eat pizza. One advantage to the hard times” was that students discovered how important friends really were. Reagan goes to Versailles . . .

It seemed that fewer people were driving to school on a regular basis during the year. Through the year it seemed as though gas prices efimbed higher every day. A variety of cars were seen m the parking lots of VHS. Cars ranged from Reed Guenther's 4-wheel drive truck to Barry Clark's Corvette. Other students such as Davida Marsh and Mike Walsh were often seen in the luxury of their Cadillacs. There were also the more conservative cars, such as Chris Niermeyer Corvair. Students sometimes found it hard to keep up with all of the extra-curricular ac- tivities because of the money involved. A few students remained loyal to their cars no matter what the total cost. These students made a solemn vow to never set foot on a school bus again. For a variety, motorcycles were ridden tor both recreation and econo- my. One of the cheapest ways some stu- dents found to get to school was by using their feet. sophomoies 23 Ion, Stafford Dawn Stevens John Stubblefield Chris Sullivan Greta Thompson Tim Todd lec;a Tubbs Mitch Turpin Elite Twyman Tina Uber Ion ViebrocK Camilla Vogt Terry Way Donnie Webb Da.ma Weinstein Dawne Whaley Darren White lisa Williams Knoxville, Tenn. holds successful Worlds Fair ?4 sophomores Amongst The Laughter, There Yet Is Sorrow Good bye to you my favorite friend.

Not only did they teach us the fundamentals, but many strived to help the students grow as individuals. Dealings with the students could be a very challenging ordeal at times. Often, one never knew what a student might say or do. Being alert was one of the keys to survival practiced by teachers. The office secretaries were also faced with difficult tasks such as trying to distribute lunch tickets to the mass of students at noon on Mondays. It seemed as though everyone waited until the last minute to buy their ticket. Absentees could also be a trying experience Three weeks after returning to school from an absence, a student might finally remember that he had to get an admit slip. The teachers did not have life nearly so easy as some students thought. They may have made life miserable for the students by assigning multitudes of homework, but they were the ones who had to grade it. VHS was made unique by caring faculty members. One often felt that the teachers and other staff members cared for them as an individual rather than as just another student. Such an attitude sometimes proved to be more conducive to learning than the books. 1 Mrs. Dtcus dreads her grading of typing papers. 2 Mrs Henderson is running busy as usual. 28 faculty Meet The Decision Makers Morgan Co R-ll School Board: Vmcel Allee.

Although they worked laboriously for the students, the cooks and janitors never seemed to receive any recognition or gratitude from the many students whose days were made easier by their services. Daily, the cooks were at school bright and early to begin the massive task of preparing lunches for over 1000 students and faculty. They worked continually until the long line of hungry people were fed and cleaning completed. They continued working making any preparations for the next day. The |anitors seemed to be at the school 24 hours a day. Always cleaning or repairing something, the work of the |ani- tors was a continuous one. Although little emphasis seemed to be placed on the importance of the cooks and janitors, they were just a few of the many people the school could not have func- tioned without. clubs 31 Involvement Promotes Growth Club ■ An assembly of good fellows meeting under certain conditions.” Johnson Band Conquers Change The 1982-'83 Versailles High School Band underwent a major midterm change. Mrs. Mary Herbert, after one and a half years of directing the band at Versailles, retired to the farm life. In that period. Mrs. B„ as she was affec- tionately known, made many friends and attempted to liven up the band department. She reorganized the Jazz Band and encouraged many students to take solos to contest. She will sure- ly be fondly remembered by many for years to come. Mrs. Herbert was replaced at the beginning of the second semester by Mrs. Carol Phillips, a graduate of CMSU at Warrensburg. She has pre- viously taught at Cole Camp and the Sedalia Middle School. Her main prior- ity was encouraging more students to join the band department for an enjoy- able musical year.

Directed by Mrs. Jlee Woolley, concert choir met daily fifth hour. Smaller groups met before school, at noon, and any other time the members could all get together to practice their contest or special program music. Often getting the small groups together was a very difficult task. Members of concert choir were generally very active in extracurri- cular activities and spare time was often limited. Exceptionally talented students were often involved in a number of groups. Accom- panists often were involved in a group and took a solo to contest as well as playing for various other groups. A large portion of concert choir's time and effort was devoted to preparing for the con- test season. The process began with choosing music for the various groups and solos as well as for the choir itself. Selecting appropriate music was not an easy task. Many factors such as musical appeal, the choir’s capability to perform the number, and the level of chal- lenge all had to be considered when making the final choice. The many hours of practice began soon after the music was selected, usually in Janu- ary. Every spare moment was spent learning and refining the selected material. Emphasis was placed on each person’s own perfor- mance as an individual. It was necessary for each choir member to develop his own poten- tial as fully as possible to enable the choir as a whole to reach its greatest potential. Students had many opportunities to exhibit their fine singing talent. Various concerts were scheduled throughout the year. A fall concert was held in addition to a Christmas Concert. Once again, Versailles hosted the Choral Clinic. The 1982-’83 clinic was directed by Rick Wymeth, music director at NMSU in Kirksville, MO. The bubbling and warm person- ality of Mr. Wymeth added interest to the event. Choir members were fortunate to be able to benefit and learn from the experience of a college music director. Many students tried out each year to fill the positions left by the graduating seniors, but only a few of them were chosen for the choir. Although concert choir required a lot of hard work and determination to excel, many members felt greatly honored to be chosen for the choir. concert choir 35 Gold Mixed Double Quartet: row 1.

No set level of performance is stipulated for membership-only the desire to sing. This group consists of two classes during the school day (1st and 7th) and they are combined only at concert time. The num- ber of students participating from year to year varies from approximately ninety to one hundred thirty. One unit of credit is given per year and it satisfies the fine art credit necessary for graduation. A student that is in Mixed Chorus for three years and has participated in all concerts and tests may letter in music. Highlights of the Mixed Chorus included a Fall Concert, Christmas concert, Spring Concert, and an active roll in Spring Fling. 1. Mixed chorus freshman. 2 Morning gave a little time tor gossip. 3.

For seven of them, they could not have possibly known what was ahead of them. They were going to pro- duce a yearbook by drawing layouts, writ- ing copy, and taking pictures - not a sim- ple task. For the other six staff members, it was old hat and they were prepared for the year. Mary Lou Eldridge, editor, and Mrs. Martha Trail, the new advisor, attempted to correct mistakes and teach the students to excel. The staff began working on the elemen- tary Mini Mirror and found that each of them had diverse talents. Connie Shepp was chosen as copy editor and thankfully had the help of Patti Broyles to assist in the writing and typing of copy. Lance Newkirk, layout editor, and Ted Heitzman, specialized layout editor, were selected for their positions due to their excellence in layout work. The photogra- phy department was led by Steve Miller who was assisted by Bruce Kenney. Penny Patton was given the very tedious job of sorting out the student pictures for all grades. The year started with the position of junior editor not filled. This job was neces- sary and was finally amply filled by Jimmy Elliott. Other layout assistants were Mike Baumgartner, Brian Hoefener, Bonnie Comstock, and Kim Raines. Many of them crossed over to help take pictures when needed. Producing a successful yearbook took a great deal of patience and even more money. The Mirror staff sold candy again this year at home ball games, the tournaments. The Apple Festival, and dur- ing lunch. Throughout the hard work the staff learned that they could produce a suc- cessful yearbook if only they tried. Yearbook Staff: row 1. Kim Raines.

Many long hours and hard work go into making a cheerleading squad successful. The cheerleaders held pep assemblies throughout the year to promote school spirit. A skit entitled When The Teachers Were Young was one of the favorites Anna Heitzman, an old lady, and Patti Broyles, a reporter for the opponent, brought the youth of the teachers to Versailles. The skit re- enacted memorable events m the lives of our teach- ers such as the time when Mrs. Laura Henderson baked her first pie and Mr Leo Snellmg made his first snide remark. Next the Tiger future was predicted as Mr. Robert Kimpton looked into his microscope and saw the other team as algae The school song was sung as it had never been sung before as Mrs. Jlee Woolley gave us her version. Mrs Mary Herbert stole the show as a cheerleader, she wanted to use the opponent to wipe up the floor. The work of a cheerleader never ended. There was always something to do for cheerleaders such as assemblies to plan, posters to make, cheers to learn and the list went on and on. The 1982-83 VHS cheerleaders worked hard to achieve the goals they set for the squad and had a great deal of fun doing it. 1. The basketball cheerleaders performed cheers at breaks in the games. 2.

These girls worked hard to maintain the tradition of a high standard of quality in their performances. The Drill Team performed at many school functions, from pep assemblies to football and basketball games. It was hard to tell what interesting routine the team members would come up with next. Performances included routines such as Grease , Pac-Man Fever”, and Start Me Up. The Drill Team members were kept busy throughout the summer as well as the school year. Their summer activities included a car wash and attending camp at Springfield. Sen- ior members had the added responsibility of making up a new routine for the next try-out. After the year was over, Drill Team mem- bers were able to look back on the preceeding year with pride. The goals they had set were reached and fun was had by all. 44 drill team Opposite page: 1.

Stu- dents who help Mrs. Cole, The librarian, not only check out and shelve books, but have homework as well. Library aides have assignments, homework, and tests just like any other class. A credit is given for the class. The office has many odd jobs for cho- sen students to do every hour of the day. They pick up absentee slips, relay mes- sages, and do light paperwork in the of- fice. Their help makes the office run a little smoother. Office help and library aides are people who want to help others. The students who help are to be commended for their fine efforts.

Fellowship was the theme for the Fellowship of Chris- tian Athletes and Ecclesia groups. These groups were designed for anyone who was interested in meeting with other Christians to come together to share and strength- en their faith. F.C.A. met Wednesdays at noon with Coach Vern Frank as their sponsor and Wendy Slagle as president. Primarily athletes, these students concentrated on incor- porating their beliefs into their sports activities. Some events sponsored by F.C.A. included the Apple Festival Fun Run, and a Sunday afternoon get-together featuring Grant Taeff on tape. Ecclesia met every Tuesday and Thursday morning before school with Mrs. Martha Trail as their sponsor and Connie Shepp as president. Expressing their faith by giving others a kind word and doing worthwhile things were some of the goals of Ecclesia. During their meet- ings, Ecclesia members shared devotions. fca ecdesia 47 Future Teachers - Present Honors 1 The FTA presented Mrs Cole with the teacher of the quarter award 2.

Varied Activities Held By FHA The Future Homemakers of America mem- bers were kept busy during the school year with regular meetings and varied activities. The club set many goals for themselves and worked hard to accomplish everything that they planned. FHA was again sponsored by Mrs. Laura Henderson. FHA officers were elected at the end of the previous school year and most of the officers attended the national convention, which was a three day trip held at The University of Missouri in Columbia. This trip included semi- nars, workshops, and an awards banquet at the end. FHA sold cookbooks, fruit roll-ups, and gorp (raisins, peanuts, apples, coconut, and other assorted items). The FHA chapter also held one fun activity each month for its members, such as a bowling and pizza party, a swim party, and a Christmas caroling party. FHA again sponsored a fashion show and FHA week. In spite of all the fun FHA held regular meetings once a month for all members, and the officers met once a week. The out-of-class chapter members and separate committees held their own meetings once every month. FHA had an active program which had some- thing to offer each of its 67 members.

FLA Go International In Their Activities We the members of the Foreign Language Alliance, pledge to further interest in foreign languages, encourage study and understand- ing of other countries, and broaden the scope and experience of the club members.” FLA members were busy outside of the classroom as well as during classtime. Many events such as a fall picnic, Christmas party, breakfast at Pioneer, Valentine's Day Nacho Sale, pizza party, St. Patrick's Day Bake Sale, FLA Week, taco party and awards night, and a spring picnic were scheduled to help break the monotony of the school year. Participation in FLA was high due to the many planned activities. Members recognized for outstanding first year participation were. Lisa Berkstresser, Dyanne Gilmore, Donna Hess, Melissa Kimbrell, Tina Uber, and Viola Yarned. Second year awards were presented to Anna Heitzman and Brian Hoefener while Gardith Calvert, Sonseeray Houchens, and Gloria Porter received third year outstanding participation awards. 1.

FLA 51 Student Council Leads Activities Student Council, once again, stayed busy during the year trying to plan activities enter- taining to the student body and also trying to conduct student government business. Leisure activities planned by Student Coun- cil included Homecoming and Courtwarming. Many committees were established and much time was invested in making the events suc- cessful. At Christmas time, a tree was deco- rated and placed in the lobby for students' enjoyment and to contribute to Christmas spirit. Student government conducted by the Stu- dent Council during the year varies. Subjects of discussion ranged from benches and a trophy case for the lobby to participation in school board meetings. The success of the organization depended upon the input of the student body through the representatives they elected at the begin- ning of the year. Student Council consisted of elected representatives and class and organi- zation presidents. Although Student Council tried hard for success, the year did not go by without its share of problems. Homecoming and Courtwarming were both made memorable by the controversies encountered. Tempers often ran short, but the experience was a very beneficial learning tool for those students involved. 1.

Students were able to be in a technical class of their choice for three hours of credit every school day. Courses taught at the technical school in- cluded auto mechanics, small engines, elec- tronics. auto body repair, graphics, small en- gine repair, drafting, and health related courses, just to name a few. Any interested junior or senior was given the opportunity to enroll in any one of the classes he preferred that were taught at the school. The key to the learning process at Eldon tech was the first-hand experience. Students were allowed to actually work on their class subject rather than just read about it in a book. This enabled students to better choose their field of work after graduation from high school. Morning Eldon Technical Students: Greg Beam. Richard Fields, Jimmy Crabtree. Karen Brown. VAC Attempts New Money Makers The 1982-'83 Versailles Athletic Club con- centrated on raising money for the athletic department. Two main fundraisers were uti- lized by VAC. Once again, they sold popcorn and soda pop at football, volleyball, and bas- ketball games. VAC members took turns co- running the concession stand with yearbook staff members. A new method of raising money was inves- tigated and experimented with. VAC spon- sored a fund raiser in which other groups could participate. Coupon books which enti- tled the holder to get a free roll of film with every roll of film processed at a participating dealer were sold. Out of the ten dollar cost to the buyer, five dollars covered the actual cost to VAC of the booklet. If a student sold for a group other than VAC, that group received two dollars while VAC received three dollars. If a student was in VAC, the entire five dollars went to VAC. While it seemed as though such a project would be worthwhile, only a few coupon books were sold. Versailles Athletic Club: row 1.

There was also a Christmas party held at the high school. Monthly meetings were conducted by president Marsha Daniels. The group went to District contest in January at the Capital Mall in Jefferson City. Twenty - five students par- ticipated and Ted Heitzman took third place in restaurant marketing and management. DECA sponsored the annual Muscular Dis- trophy Volleyball Marathon on April 15th at the high school gym. A banquet was held the first week in May to end the year. 1. Just plain laziness! 2.

There was a new adviser and a new format. The Tiger Tracks Staff faced an even greater challenge of publishing the Tiger Tracks every two weeks rather than once a month as in previous years. Other changes were also evident. Rather than a two page pull-out section, the Tiger Tracks consisted of one page of the Versailles Leader-States- man newspaper. Other changes included alternating ele- mentary and junior high news articles. To give the staff more varied experience, as- signments were changed each issue. As a result a reporter might cover a basketball game one issue and visit the third grade the next. Putting together the school newspaper required a number of people to carry a great deal of responsibility. The Journalism class was somewhat unique in its teaching sys- tem. Rather than being in charge of the paper herself, Mrs. Trail, the Journalism I and II instructor, acted more as an adviser. She felt it was necessary to place the great- est responsibility of the paper on the Tiger Tracks editor, Marsha Daniels, and her staff. The system seemed to work as it gave staff members the opportunity to learn more by actual experience. The work of putting together the Tiger Tracks only began in the classroom. Stu- dents received assignments and began prep- aration for researching their subject. Then the work began. Events to attend, people to interview, and other research to be obtained kept staff members busy. After all the nec- essary information was gathered together, the process of writing the story began. Fi- nally, when all of the stories were written and necessary pictures taken and devel- oped, the copy was ready to be taken to the newspaper office. There, two Journalism II members, usually the editor and lay-out editor, finalized the lay-out and set the copy for entry in the newspaper. Finally, the work was completed and staff members were ready to begin their next edition of the Tiger Tracks. Students who joined the Tiger Tracks Staff at the beginning of the second semes- ter were: Bruce Kenney, Jeff Kimbrell, Mike Walsh, and Tammy Ypya, Journalism I; and Ted Heitzman, Journalism 2. 1.

The 1983 drama department chose to present Arsenic and Old Lace. Under the direction of Mr. Concannon, auditions were held among drama class members to fill the necessary positions. The remaining class time was spent by students learning their lines, practicing their parts, and making the necessary stage preparations. Carpenters Joe Swab, Kenny Marshall, and Alan Earnest built the props. Scene artists were Kim Shrout and Lynne Ritchie, make-up artist was Julia Acuff with Bonnie Comstock as her assistant. Lynne Ritchie was director of publi- cations and Ken Sinclair was program director. Light- ing and technical director was Cameron Coursey with Steve Miller in charge of lighting. Prompter was Betty Napier. Not only did Chris Niermeyer have the lead male role of Mortimer Bruster, he was also an important member backstage. He was stage man- ager, house manager, and student director. An occa- sional line was forgotten and the curtain was even raised too soon, however, the play was a huge success at both the high school and public perfor- mances. Opposite page: 1.

He is the only creature that inflicts pain my i ' for sport, knowing it to be pain ...” Twain . , Varsity Tigers Improve Season Record The varsity football team improved their record from the past two years. They finished the season with a record of 3-5. They got off to an impressive start win- ning the first two games of the year. In those games the defense played the maior role in the victories. Both games came down to the last play but the Tigers proved their willingness to win. Then the team met three teams that were state playoff bound and could not face the chal- lenge. The Tigers rebounded and won their homecoming game against Osage. After that too many injuries and mistakes cost the Tigers their last two games of the year in which they should have won. - Coach Jerry Cornelius Many students and fans not involved in athletics failed to realize how much time and hard work went into each game. For instance, preparation for a Friday night game involved practice from Monday to Thursday for a total of approximately ten hours. Much controversy was encountered due to the many injuries resulting from various conference games. Many schools in the conference preferred not to com- pete against the Camdenton team. Their decision was a result of the injuries exper- ienced by players due to the size of the school. They had more people to choose from for their team. Even with the contro- versy, Versailles chose to continue to com- pete against Camdenton. Left to right Dennis Vallandingham. assistant coach; Craig Baumgartner. Vince Williams.

Work- ing together as a team contributed largely to the success of the team. Coach Brenda Hodges stressed develop- ment of talents and skills for use in their future years as prospective varsity team members. Being prepared meant many hours of practice and hard work. The experience of being on the junior varsity team not only contributed a great deal to developing an attitude of team spirit but also to development as indivi- duals. Team members learned how to in- teract with other members on the team by better understanding themselves and their capabilities Before the individual volleyball players could work together as a team, they had to be aware of their own strengths and weaknesses. Their years on the J.V. team were devoted to developing talents not yet acquired and sharpening those skills they already had. Involvement with the team contributed to the development of each girl as an individual. Tigers Show Winning Attitude The 1982-83 Varsity Boys Basketball team started the season with a bright outlook with tour of five starters returning from the pre- vious year. We had a few early season injuries which slowed us some. The team had good progress but went into a small slump around Christmas when we lost four games in a row. Our playing seemed to peak around the Eldon Tournament. During this tournament Richard Fields broke his nose and was knocked out for most of the rest of the season. We went into another small slump after winning third place in the Eldon Tournament. Our biggest win came in the 90-50 win over Camdenton in the first round of Districts before our final loss to Waynesville. The Tigers ended with an 11-12 record. Although the team did not have a winning record, they did exhibit an overall winning atttude and competitive spirit. - Coach Dennis Hagedorn Special honors received by the varsity team this year were: Consolation trophies in the Warsaw and California Tournaments and Third Place and Sportsmanship trophies in the Eldon Tournament.

The team was a basically young one, as it consisted mainly of freshmen. The team encountered both advantages and disad- vantages by being a young team. By being young they gained the experience needed in preparing for varsity play, but by lacking the experience the wm-loss record was not im- pressive. The highlight of the J.V. season came in a win over Eldon 52-51 when they hit 22 for 25 of their freethrows. Using the exper- ience these players gained during the season they may look forward to better years of both lumor varsity and varsity play. Despite their record the team maintained a willingness to work hard and strive for their goals in both practice and games. The good attendance at J.V. games contributed to the winning attitude of the players. ' row 1. Nolan Sousley. Reed Guenther, Clift Carter. Bo Campbell. Ronnie Campbell, row 2.

It was characterized by outstanding play by some of our less skilled players as we worked to be more than just another good team, and we were. Lack of height throughout the year was overcome by desire and hustle. Our efforts paid dividends as we won five of our last six games and gained the respect of our opponents. We brought out the best in other teams and no one looked past the Tigerettes. Success can not always be measured by the win-loss re- cord, but rather measured by effort and po- tential reached. The 1982-'83 Tigerettes were winners in every way. A team to be proud of who gave only their best.” - Coach Vern Frank Individuals deserving special recognition for their outstanding performances were Stephanie Steffen and Tracey Braden. Steffen succeeded in capturing seven of the high school girls basketball records, including sea- son and career scoring marks with a four year career total of 1103 points. She was selected Tri-County Conference Girl Player of the Year for the second year in a row, and first team All-District for the second year. Braden was selected for first team All-Conference and second team All-District for the second year. 1. Stephanie adds to her 1.000 plus career points total. 2.

Tracey Braden Having six seniors on the girls varsity bas- ketball team was a great asset. The years of experience the senior members had acquired helped the team considerably as their skills were further developed and refined than those of the younger players. Not only did the senior members have an impact on the team's fundamental ability, they also largely influenced the team’s atti- tude. During games, seniors were willing to give other members words of encouragement which often helped to boost team spirit and usually improved team performance. Senior members also were able to lift the spirits of other team members after a tough game. Pointing out the good moments as well as advising them to learn from their mistakes resulted in younger members having a great deal of respect the seniors as well as being a great benefit to the team. Towards the end of the season, the senior basketball members began to realize that their days of playing high school basketball would soon be over. Although saddened by the realization, senior members had cherished memories of the years spent on the team to look back on and their dreams of the future to give them hope and happiness. 1.

With eight freshman and three sophomores the junior varsity team gained experience that could be built on in the years to come. Three wins and eight losses did not reflect the value of the season but these were the Tigers of the future. 1982 83 was a beginning of the good times to come. - Coach Vern Frank Gaming experience was a large part of playing on the junior varsity team. Sopho- mores and freshmen used their time on the junior varsity team to develop and improve their basketball skills. Team members became more aware of the importance of working together as a team. 1.Carrie and Tammy practice for another challenging basketball game. 2.

Although the wrestlers worked just as hard and practiced as many hours as other athletes, few people attended each meet. In an effort to gain more publicity for the wrestlers and their meets, the first annual Matwarming was established. Wrestlers chose four candidates from which they elected a Matwarming Queen and a Matwarming Prin- cess. Lisa Williams, sophomore; and Tammy Yoder and Tracey Brown, juniors; and Penny Patton, senior; were chosen as candidates. At the January 29 Versailles Quad, Tammy Yoder was named princess and Penny Patton was crowned queen. There were three varsity captains this year-Matt Loganbill, Jim Patton, and Donnie Arment. They had many duties as captain, some of which included building team spirit and leading warm-up exercises. Some of the wrestlers which deserved special recognition included Randy Campbell, Matt Loganbill, Jim Applebury, Jim Patton, and Donnie Arment for placing in the district tour- nament and going to Regionals. Donnie suc- ceeded in continuing to state, however, he was eliminated in the first round of competi- tion. Varsity Wrestling: row 1. Jay Dunham.

However, there were individuals who did quite well. Tony Stafford and Peanuts Frank were both selected to the second team 411 Conference and to the All District team. Peanuts Frank also won the Stan Rogers' Medalist Award for hav- ing the lowest match average for the year. The proudest moment for the golf team was when they placed seventh in a field of fourteen at the district tournament. With the return of all but two players, the future for the golf team looks bright. Versailles High School Golf: row 1. Tracey Braden, letf Higgins, Mark Stevenson. Nolan Sousley.

Limited somewhat by size, having only thirteen members at the end of the season, they still performed consistently well. The team placed third out of seven teams at the conference meet. Other team honors included placing in five invitational meets and winning first at Warrensburg. In the individual events nine out of thirteen members participated and placed at the con- ference meet. Five people placed in seven events at the district track meet at Warrens- burg High School. This qualified three people to participate in the sectional track meet. Bruce Randall and Kevin Chamberlain quali- fied for state by placing second in the section- al track meet. So as the Versailles Track Team took off their shoes, some for the last time, it was with a great deal of pride in what had been accomplished through hard work in the spring of '83.

The weather, being not so favorable, caused many meets to be postponed or cancelled. The girls ran in fewer meets than in any previous year. The girls worked hard throughout the sea- son and accomplished many goals they set for themselves. Three school records were broken. Lisa Petty broke the high lump re- cord, Sherie Bowers broke the 200m, dash record, and Sonseeray Houchens broke the shot put record. Sherie Bowers and Lisa Petty also achieved the honor of participating in the state track meet. Senior track member Sonseeray Houchens put it this way, I felt that we had a good season as a team, for as many people went out. No one was expecting us to do much. I think we surprised them.

To open the ceremony, candidates were introduced along with reigning Queen and King. Cindy White and Richard Fields. Qualifications, which included participa- tion in school events, general manner and character, school spirit, and good school citizenship, were read. Jimmy Elliott, yearbook junior editor, proceeded to crown Jennifer Posey and Kenny Marshall the 1983-'84 Mirror Queen and King. The symbolic crown and sceptor were taken from the reigning royalty and presented to Jennifer and kenny. In addi- tion, the newly crowned Queen and King each received a personalized key ring as a gift from the yearbook staff. The purpose of selecting a Mirror King and Queen was to give recognition to deserving students who might not have otherwise been recognized by the student body. The Mirror staff strove to choose candidates based on merit rather than popularity. It was also an attempt to show students that the Mirror was more than lust a yearbook for the more popular stu- dents; it was a book for everyone to enjoy and be a part of. 1 Junior editor of yearbook, Jimmy Elliott, crowns the winning king and queen. 2 The new Mirror Royally: king Kenny Marshall and queen Jennifer Posey Mirror royalty 89 FFA And FHA Select Royalty On October 23, 1982 the Future Farm- ers held a tractor pull and a bar-b-que and also crowned their queen.

Charlie Goodson, Mr. Dan Colorful, Beautiful Setting For Prom Ram and hail ushered in the beginning of the traditional |unior senior prom. The April 30th dance hosted by the lumors was held in the multipurpose room. The dance officially began at 8:30 and ended at 12:00 Preparation for the prom began early in the year with ideas and plans being ingenious- ly developed by the cunning minds of juniors. The best kept secret of the year was the prom theme. Few juniors knew the actual theme, Color My World. which allowed for greater secrecy. Traditionally, juniors strive to post- pone revealing the theme to the seniors until the moment the seniors arrive at the prom. In past years, tradition has been broken, but the class of 1984 upheld the tradition surprisingly paper flowers. Tables were decorated with a single bal loon surrounded by a colored wreath and accented with crayons. Memory books con- taining names of junior and senior class offi- cers and sponsors, a poem to the seniors, and a senior survey were also found on the tables. The beautiful setting was enhanced by the live music of “Mam Sail.” The band, consist- ing of six on-stage members, was a finalist in the Lake of the Ozards Battle of the Bands. Ouring the band’s thirty minute break, the lumors presented a slide show consisting mainly of seniors. The slides depicted the everyday, although sometimes unique, antics of the seniors. enjoyable and memorable for the seniors. After prom many couples had planned on seeing Best Friends” at the Drive-In in Eldon Due to the high wind, the screen was blown over and the movie could not be shown Determined not to arrive home to early, many couples went to a friend's house to play cards, talk, or even sleep.

Three of the four corners of the gym each had a different central color. The green room contained plants confiscated from Mr. Kimpton's and Mrs Woolley's rooms. The red room displayed a western theme with large cacti looming on the horizon. The blue room sported a large ship sailing along the waters of time. Rooms were divided by tables where friends could share the good times. In the center of the gym a fountain was located. It too was adorned with brightly col- ored balloons.

Spring Fling was held on May 12. The annual event was highly attended by stu dents, parents, and other community mem bers. Auditions were held by concert choir to determine what groups would appear in the event. Competition was stiff, as many groups and individuals, especially seniors, wished to participate m the biggest vocal music event of the year. Although Spring Fling was a joyous occas- ion. it was also a time of sadness. Seniors realized they would soon be leaving their friends and security of a small town to be entering a much larger and sometimes fright enmg world. The emotions experienced by the choir was overwhelming as the last song was sung and seniors were recognized. As they parted from the other choir members and their friends, seniors were presented a red carnation by Mrs. Woolley and many also received a hug. Tears were abundant as Spring Fling ended and brought with it the realization of the end of our more carefree days. There were fifteen acts for Spring Fling this year. They included soloists: Mary Lou El- dndge'Praise the Lord , Penny Patton- The Sweetest Thing , Ronnie Campbell- Ready to Take A Chance Again”, Kimberly Chamberlain- If the Love Fits Wear It , Larry Ball- Just Put Some Love In Your Heart , and Barrie Bauer- You Should Hear How She Talks About You.” There were also three duets. Oana Yaryan and Joe Shepard sang Just You and I and “Up Where We Belong , was sung by Barrie Bauer and Larry Ball. Reed Guenther and Jeff Kimbrell performed the country hit. “Moun tain Music”. Four of the ensembles that participated in music contest entertained the public at Spring Fling. The Gold Mixed Double sang The Truth Shall Make You Free .

The seniors were affected most because of their excited anticipation of graduation. Many students became restless and uneasy as the last days of school were slowly counted down. Basically, there were two types of senior students-those with full classloads and those taking few classes to enable them to enjoy their last year. The studious seniors began to lose their avid study habits with the passing of the first semester. There was less pressure to make good grades as many scholarship and school admission applications merely required seven semesters of grades. The less conserva- tive sides of some students were at last revealed. Many allowed themselves to have more fun than they had previously enjoyed. Some of the other seniors were “old pros when it came to having fun. Their last year was just another year to breeze through with more parties than ever. Seniors were not the only students plagued with spring fever.” Many juniors and sopho- mores were also anxiously awaiting the end of another school year. Juniors were looking for- ward to being seniors and no longer in the middle of the two classes. They would finally be the major leaders with more authority than ever before. Sophomores were tired of being the youngest and having the least respect. With the passing of another school year, an- other class would take their place. Restlessness abounded in great measure with the onset of spring fever. Many want- ed to be outdoors enjoying the mildly warm weather with their friends. Students used spring fever as an excuse for being more lax in their studies and more susceptible to lazi- ness in general. 108 student life Involvement Fills Free Time 1.

The Junior high music department consisted of the junior high band, directed by Mrs. Carol Phillips, and the junior high choir, directed by Mrs. Jlee Woolley. Preparation for participation in the music program began in grade school, with the junior high years devoted to refining their skills. The junior high band consisted of any student who wished to participate. Challenges were held and tests given to determine the order in which students sat. Grades were given based on test results, participation, and cooperation. The choral music group was handled in much the same way as the band. Mrs. Woolley worked hard at encouraging her students to excel. She tried to instill a sense of pride in her students in hopes that they would develop a genuine wish to continue in the music program. Mrs. Woolley was able to watch the progress made by her students and mentally calculate what type of high school concert choir she would have in the years to come. The music department not only provided enter- tainment, but it allowed students a chance to express themselves. It was a positive and con- structive outlet for students a means of expres- sion readily accepted by the students’ peers, instructors, and parents. opposite page: 1.

Many students chose to participate on the team hoping to develop skills they could use on the J.V. or Varsity teams. Involvement in sports provided a beneficia aspect of extracurricular activities. Prospectivt athletes were given the opportunity to improve their own physical coordination. Practice and hard work contributed to their growth and mus- cular development. Not only could participants develop physical- ly but they could also develop in their ability to deal with people. Being a member of a team, the football players had to be aware of their own capabilities as well as the capabilities of their team mates. It was important that they learn to make the most of their assets while minimizing and improving their faults. 128 |umor high football Tigerettes Show Hard Work And Hustle Eighth grade volleyball team front row-Diana Alumbaugh.

The teams consisted of twenty- seven graders and ten eighth graders. The seventh grade team ended the season with a 4-2 record, while the eighth grade split the season 3-3. Tami Randall was the best all around player for the seventh grade and Gina Heinerikson was the most im- proved player. Krista Thouvenal and Erin Concannon took the honors of best server and most improved player for the eighth grade team. Coach Linda Scott said the seventh graders were very hard workers and had a lot of hustle. As for the eighth grade, she stated they had to work really hard to win and had improved greatly over last year. The junior high teams worked hard all year. The support of parents and friends was a factor which contributed to the enthusiasm of the players. junior high volleyball 129 Junior High Boys Willing Athletes Seventh grade Boys Basketball Team: Row 1.

The boys had an overall good season but the rain hurt them by cutting out a few meets and making it hard to run in others. The junior high teams were divided into one seventh grade and one eighth grade team. There were separate meets for each grade. The seventh graders had only six runners and finished 8th at the Cam- denton Relays and 3rd at the Conference Meet. The 8th graders had improved their abilities from their seventh grade year. They finished 10th at Camdenton and 4th at Conference. Jim Deery won for the seventh grade team two events at Conference, the 800 and 1200 meter run. Both teams had good spirit and didn't let the rain slow their enthusiasm. 132 |r high boys track Participation Increases Row 1: Coach Linda Scott, tana Rouse. Mitzi Clark.

The junior high girls track teams had the most people out for the sport in the past five years, stated Coach Linda Scott. They had eleven seventh grade and six eighth grade girls participating. The strongest events came in the field area. Carolyn Barnard and Annette Slagle were both strong in the long jump. Tami Randall set two new records. She broke the old seventh grade high jump and triple jump record. Lori Pendergraft set a new discus record by tossing a throw of 74’6”. Shelley Allan and Stacey Bolton proved to be good young distance runners. The high point in the season came at the Camdenton Relays. They placed 6th out of eleven teams, with Tami Randall, Carolyn Bar- nard. and Lori Pendergraft placing in the top four in one event each. All three of the girls relay teams placed in the top six. With eleven returning seventh graders, the future of the junior high girls track team looks bright. lumor high girls track 133 Learning To Lead Row 1: Came Marshall. Johnna Yeokum.

Look out! “Enchanted Gardens” Is Setting For Dance On May 7, the freshmen were honored with a spring dance hosted by the seventh grade with some help from the eighth grade. Decorations included unicorns and were centered around the theme of En- chanted Gardens”. Mrs. Hayden's art classes assisted the seventh graders in making decorations and props. During the dance, a freshman Queen, Cristy White, and King, Bo Campbell, were picked. After the dance many adjourned to the Pizza Hut or to a friend’s home for a nice ending to a special evening. 1.
