Maintenance Staff “double duty” The busy work of our maintenance staff, cooks, and bus drivers kept everything going smoothly, not only during school hours but also with the many extra-curricular activities. Besides the many regular duties of die staff, Ness hosted both the District Tournament and many other athletic events which required a lot of prepara- tion from the staff. The many speech and music events held out of town always called for late hours for our bus drivers. Through the help of the maintenance staff, all extra-curricular activities were held on schedule, there by making the ‘68-'69 school term a great year.

Although she has gained the top position in her class by many long hours of hard work, Jane has also found time to be one of the most active students at NCHS. Beside scholarship, this versatile young lady has ex- celled in athletics, band, and has held numerous offices in FHA, French Club, National Honor Society, and N-ettes, besides holding the office of Student Council se c re tary - tre as ur e r. Jane has been popular among her fellow classmates. They selected her to represent them as a freshman cheerleader, junior yearbook attendant, and as a class officer her first three years of high school. In recognition of her four years of outstanding achievement, Jane received the Ness County Teachers' Association Scholarship and the I Dare You Award. This was a high honor for a deserving senior.

Seniors Salutatorian Ricky Dean Stenzel, the Salutatorian of the Class of 1969, is one of those individuals who possesses the rare qualities of both leadership and scholarship. Ricky worked hard for the second position in his class, and, like Jane, he has been a very active student. Ricky's interests span a broad field ranging from mathe- matics to basketball. Besides being a member of the basketball, football, and tennis teams, he has partici- pated in band, National Honor Society, Science and Math Club, and French Club. In his senior year, he was given one of the highest honors possible for a student at NCHS to receive when he was elected to the office of President of the Student Council. In his junior year, Ricky represented Ness City at Boys' State.

Eagles Win Championship Again We were very pleased to have had such a wonderful group of boys to represent our school. Their desire and determination to excel in the game of football was something we shall never forget. Not once did they fail to act as a team. Through team effort, they were able to accomplish what they set as their goal at the start of the season--to win the WKEA Championship for the second time. In the years to come our school may post a better won-lost record, but I don't believe the 1968 NCHS foot- ball team will ever be forgotten due to their tremendous team effort displayed on the gridiron.

A Will to Win Larry Berger, in his first year as head coach, guided the Eagles to one of the best records ever produced by a Ness City team. The Eagles, who sported a 21-2 mark, were ranked among the top ten 2A teams in the state throughout the season, and were given the coveted No. rating in die year's final polls. The Eagles compiled an impressive list of honors during the season. They won the WKEA League Cham- pionship, 2nd place in the Dodge City Tournament of Champions, 1st in die District Tourney, and 2nd in the Regional Tournament. The Honors were richly deserved by these young men, who made the '68-'69 Eagles one of the finest teams in the history of Ness City High School. Fred Goff accepts the 2nd place trophy for the Eagles in the Dodge City Tournament of Champions. 58 Head coach Larry Berger and Asst, coach Larry Miller pose happily after a successful season. EAGLES DISPLAY THEIR SPOILS Bill Braun's constant effort helped make the Eagles an outstanding team. These Ness seniors were honored with berths on the WKEA All-League team: Fred Goff, Bill Braun, Barry Schwindt, and Clinton Stiawalt. With faces etched in disappointment, the Eagles solemnly accept the 2nd place trophy after an overtime loss in the regional tourney. “ Mine is the Victory ” Rick Stenzel Varsity career point total: 51 Dean Stecklein Varsity career point total: 149 Fred Goff.

Underclassmen Dominate Golf and Tennis Teams The six boys who participated in six golf tournaments did a creditable job, but failed to rank high in any of the meets except the WKEA league meet May 2. In this meet the 4-man team placed 2nd, and the 6-man team placed 2nd. Medals were awarded the members of the 4-man team which was composed of Jerry Herman, Randy Anspaugh, David Leiker, and Mark Goodman. All boys out for golf participated in the Ness City Invitational and the WKEA meet. Experience has been valuable and they are looking forward to a good season next year. In the Regional Tennis meet Dean Stecklein and Kent Miller played in single competition. Kent won his first round and was beaten in the quarter finals. Gary Stoecklein and Tim Pfannenstiel with Melvin Fehrenbach and Dennis Pember represented the double team. Both doubles were beaten in the first round. The tennis squad had a lot of enthusiasm and determination. Even though the squad consisted of underclass- men, they showed poise and confidence for the coming year.
