ACADEMICS Change Brings Efficiency To Yearbook Change marked this depart- ment with separation of the yearbook and newspaper into different hours with different advisers. Using job editors was a new ap- proach to yearbook staffing which proved successful at the Kansas Scholastic Press Associ- ation Regional Journalism Contests in February at WSU. Those placing first were Mary Ellen Smith, Roger O’Neal and Liz Holm. Placing third were Deb Gillet in two events, Don- na Bloomer and Marsha Gray- beal. This was more qualifiers from one staff than from both staffs in the three years of com- peting. In March these students, except Liz Holm, participated in the KSPA State Contest at Law- rence. Roger O’Neal returned with the first place trophy in photography for 1A-2A-3A schools. YEARBOOK STAFF: Row 1: Mrs. Doro- thy Rucker-adviser, Marsha Graybeal-lay- out editor, Kathy Meirowsky-copy editor, Liz Holm-typist, Mary Ellen Smith-cut- line editor. Row 2: Carnella Bloomer-de- sign editor, Donna Bloomer-editor-in- chief, Roger O’Neal-photographer, Deb Gillet-headline editor and artist. Row 3: Dee Krause-typist, Dave Clark-photogra- pher. With proof of his abilities as a fine pho- tographer, Roger O’Neal returns to his seat with his first place trophy at the KSPA State Contest. Putting together a good yearbook means working together as a staff and also being able to work individually. There are deadlines that have to be met and sometimes things can get a little confusing. Donna Bloomer and Kathy Meirowsky look for a particular page envelope while Mrs. Rucker does the final check on a layout. 8 BLUE PRINT STAFF: Row 1: Scott Entz- sports reporter, Curt Glaser-news editor, Bonnie Preheim-typist, Russ Ediger-fea- tures reporter and cartoonist, Liz Brunner- news reporter. Row 2: Donna Wilson-fea- tures editor, Kim Shaw-layout editor, Nan- cy Hall-editor, Miss Cindy Muir-adviser. Row 3: Don Stovall-p.iotographer, Dave Rempel-news reporter, Dave Clark-news reporter and photographer, Royce Schmidt-sports editor. NOT PICTURED: Judi Hall-typist, Pat Cubbage-news re- porter. Many late night hours were spent to make changes in “The Blue- Print.” The biggest change was in the headline composition.The lo- cal newspaper editor was gracious enough to allow the staff to use his Compugraphic to set their head- lines. This created a more uniform look. Using a larger staff and section editors with reporters, the paper had a more in-depth approach. This specialization helped Nancy Hall, Russ Ediger and Kim Shaw to qualify at Kansas Scholastic Press Association Regional Con- test in February. Kim won second in Newspaper Makeup for 1A-2A- 3A schools at state competition in March. In September both staffs toured Newton’s Mennonite Free Press and the Wichita Eagle-Beacon. Blue-Print Staff Works Into The Night At the KSPA State Banquet Kim Shaw, at left, accepts her 2nd place trophy for Newspaper Makeup from Dave Adams, professor from Fort Hays State University. Composing the headlines at the Gazette office keeps Royce Schmidt proficient at typing and running up the stairs. 9 Reviewing at the board is a good way for Mr. Ireland to see what his English class remembers. Nancy Hall, Kris Strotkamp and Kim Rose wait for the next question. Reading and Writing Lab was a new class with a new teacher. Miss Busenitz. This class provided an opportunity for students seeking extra help in those areas. Miss Bu- senitz helps out Rick McIntosh with an English assignment. English Classes “Subject” To Changes Shuffling was the subject of the English classes. Reading and Writing Lab for individual help with any English prob- lems, and English III and IV with more traditional ap- proaches for juniors and seniors were added to the schedule. When Mr. Shields resigned in September, Mr. Ireland be- came the Activities Director which necessitated a shift in his classes. Miss Busenitz’s English I classes were reorga- nized into three sections and she took over the Vocational English class to free him of his duties. Even more changes are planned for next year!

Competition tests these vocational skills. Busi- ness skills contests were in March at Bethel and April at Brown Mackie. The home economics students competed in contests in April at Bar- ton County Junior College. Mr. Don Arnold-Industrial Arts Mr. Gary Jones-Vocational Agriculture and Horticulture Miss Cindy Muir-Home Economics Mr. Howard O’Neal-Commerce There were also many added “students” in the vo-ag shop as fathers and sons worked in part- nership on vo-ag projects. BUSINESS SKILLS: AT LEFT: Row I: Karletta Ratzloff, Shana Maples. Carnella Bloomer, Andra Shank, Kim Youngblood, Jill Knust. Row 2: Don Stovall, Roger O'Neal. Shelli Whisler.

This higher level course was comple- mented by the already existing Chemistry class taught by Mr. Arnett. The remainder of the classes, which consisted of Physical Science and Biology, were the full time load of Mr. Tolar. Mr. Molleker sits back and takes a moment to reflect on his Physics class and to think about what is to happen in the next class. Danny Kyle, in the foreground, and Max Cooper take advantage of the time to do some physics problems for tomorrow. Physics Class Is Back On The Track Many different experiments were done in Physical Science throughout the year, one of which was learning how to use a micro- scope. Rick Mellott uses the microscope to study the growing process of a crystal. Mark Sattler and Shawn Garcia take time out from experimenting to discuss how fas- cinating the study of crystals can be. Or could they be talking about all the good looking girls at Peabody High? Mr. Arnett explains a chemistry prob- lem to Mike Shaw and Mitch Moffett. Curt Glaser and Scott Entz, in the fore- ground, try to work it out on a calcula- tor. 12 Vocals Lights Up The Community’s Lives POP VOCAL: Row 1: Debbie Blakey, Pam Bullock, Darla Criger, Tracy Kemper, Lisa Hall, Daryl Friesen, Judi Hall, Pam Foth.

The group played on a live broadcast from the Peabody Senior Center. In January, they attended a clinic and concert at Hutchinson Junior College and in February they provided the music for the Queen of Courts game. Maestro Bob Members of the band who were chosen for the Dis- Marshall trict Star ®anc were Danny Kyle, tuba; Mark Glover, baritone; and Annette Warkentine, French horn. Stage Band Takes to Radio Airwaves Adding to the games’ intensity, the pep band helped to get ev- eryone in the crowd excited for the games. Not only did they start the games off with the “Star Spangled Banner,” but also accompanied the pom pon girls during half time. Songs like “Hot Stuff’ and “Shake Your Groove Thing” were played for the younger genera- tion and “Roll Out The Barrel” and “Wabash Cannonball” for the older generation’s enjoy- ment.

The marching band prepares for an- other one of its marching feats. Two-thirds of a semi truck of oranges and grapefruit totaling $1500 was sold in December by diligent band members for a trip in three years. Preparing for the league contest in March and at state contest in April, the concert band per- formed their annual Christmas concert. They rounded out the year presenting a concert in the spring. The marching band stepped in style in the Burns Centennial Parade and the Marion County Fair Parade, both in August; the Old Settler’s Day Parade at Marion in September; the Ar- kalah Parade at Arkansas City in October and the May Day Parade at McPherson in May. 15 POM PON GIRLS: Row 1: Linda Nightan- Their uniforms consisted of blue satin gale, Bonnie Preheim, Kathy Meirowsky, vesta and skirts, white satin blouses, white Carnella Bloomer, Shana Maples.

Girls Add Sparkle To Half Time Shows With shining uniforms, glitter- ing pom pons and flashing ba- tons the pom pon girls and twirlers provided the razzle and dazzle during the half time of the football and basketball games. When the twirlers and pom pon girls weren’t performing for half times, the newly organized flag girls surprised everyone with unique and flashy rou- tines. Their rainbow-designed flags were purchased by the band at the beginning of the year. The flags brightened and li- vened up the marching band as they grabbed the parade crowd’s attention. With quick and floating effects, the rou- tines matched the flow of the marching band’s music as they advanced down the streets. FLAG GIRLS: Bonnie Preheim, Carnella Bloomer, Kathy Meirowsky, Shana Ma- ples, Linda Nightengale, Julie Helmer, Nancy Richmond, Liz Holm. The flags had a white background with a grandeur of red, orange, yellow, green, and blue colors creating a rainbow design. 16 This Is A Job For ‘Special Teachers’ Roger Carswell Joyce DeForest Melinda Gaines Sonja Koslowsky Pam Nelson David Stroud NOT PICTURED Mildred Buller The library is a good place to find infor- suits one of the usually forgotten sources- mation on many topics of interest from the librarian, who is Mrs. DeForest in many sources.

Everyone needs help from time to time with a class, a special project or a personal problem. These con- cerns have been handled by var- ious teachers throughout the year. Mr. Carswell started his duties as librarian second semester after the resignation of Mrs. DeForest. Mrs. Buller was the librarian aide. Mrs. Gaines began the year with Mrs. Nelson as her paraprofes- sional in the learning disabilities room. Mrs. Nelson moved in No- vember, so Mrs. Koslowsky took her place. In February when Mrs. Gaines left to have a baby, Mrs. Koslowsky became the teacher with Mrs. Patton as the para- professional. Then pulling it all together and helping with everyone’s problems is the job of Counselor Stroud. Even the navy asked him to evalu- ate their teaching program. Stanley Funk, foreground, and Daryl Frie- sen, background, concentrate on an assign- ment in the learning disabilities room. 17 Creativity Extends To Different Areas The library was the scene of two student art shows and Mr. Ball's personal show and sale in April. David Cooper looks over the ceramics at the spring student show. The social science classes kept busy one way or another. The American History class was no different. They had read- ing, worksheets and term papers to do. Aaron Moody, Sherry Koch, Mark Swi- gart, Mary Sattler and Lisa Logan keep busy with their work.

Mr. Tom Lee-social science Mr. Randy Shields-P.E. 1st semester NOT PICTURED: Mr. Steve Hetrick-P.E. 2nd semester Coaching sports takes a great deal of time and energy, but it doesn’t happen during regular school hours. From 8:28 until 3:22 the coaches extend their talents to the academic areas. Increased interest which result- ed in bigger classes and more sections of classes was partly at- tributed to the new graduation requirements for classes gradu- ating after 1981. Social science requirements are up to two and a half units and one-half unit of Health Education was added to the one unit of physical educa- tion required. If a student is not interested in vocal music or band classes, it is possible for that student to earn his fine arts credit through the art de- partment’s wide range of elec- tive courses. One of the many activities of all the P.E. classes was gymnastics. Most of the stu- dents had other activities to “tend to, but there was always a strange one. Robin Wolf can be seen “hanging around” in the gym with her friends Dee Krause and Gwen Stucky in Advanced P.E. class. They spent time improving their gymnas- tic abilities.

Scholars Receive Their Just Honors Parents and faculty met May 1 in the Brown Building Gym for the Peabody-Burns Scholar- ship Banquet. Reverend Don- ald Kessler provided the invo- cation and closing. The PHS Brass Choir also performed. David Stroud, sponsor of the National Honor Society, in- stalled new members to the so- ciety, then Mr. N. M. Patton presented David Cooper and Kent Leppke with the Dean’s Award from the College of En- gineering at Kansas State Uni- versity. Max Cooper received the Bausch Lomb Science Award. Dr. Norris Wika, Mr. Jack Andregg and Mr. Wayne Blessing presented the scholar- ship awards. Dr. Wika intro- duced the speaker, Mr. Dick Kuntz Bethel College’s Finan- cial Aids Officer. Later in May, the National Honor Society and a few others competed in the College Bowl at Newton. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY: Row 1: Linda Nightengale, Gwen Stucky, Shana Maples, Annette Warkentine.

Max Cooper and Danny Kyle won in FFA. Vocal got a I at state with their selections “Laugh Lady Clown” and “Elijah Rock.” Forensics went to state and all of the five members brought back a first place medal. The competition was held at Emporia. More journalism students qualified for state competition than ever before. The competition was held at KU in Lawrence. Qualifying in track for state were Lu- cille Carson, Linda Nightengale and Jim Holm. The golf team made it to state competi- tion. The meet was held in Halstead. 21 Burns Problem Occupies BOE Minds Problems with the Elementary Building at Burns occupied the minds of the Board of Educa- tion for the majority of the school year which meant that less pressing matters such as re- placements for the windows and doors at the high school had to be tabled for the time being. This gave Superinten- dent Norris Wika his first ma- jor assignment at District 398. “On the Road Again” should’ve been Dr. Wika’s theme song as he traveled in and out of the district centers giving them his personal attention. Filing the important papers is part of the job of Vicki Cook, central office sec- retary and treasurer of the board. • Pictured below at one of his few quiet mo- ments, Dr. Norris Wika works on the endless paperwork involved with being a superinten- dent. Dr. Wika received his Doctor of Educa- tion Degree from the University of Nebraska in May, 1976. He was principal at Santa Fe Middle School in Newton for the three years before coming to Peabody. BOARD OF EDUCATION PICTURED ABOVE: Row 1: Don Lemley, John Balthrop- president, Jean Maples. Row 2: Virgil Clark, John Berns, J.D. Gaines, Robert Morgan. Even with a sling, Muriel Wolfers- perger, below, performed her duties as clerk of the board and central office sec- retary. Discipline Creates Large Problems Since this is Mr. Blessing's second year as PHS principal, he is more aware of prob- lems that can occur. Some of the prob- lems occurring are disciplining, schedul- ing and keeping good relations with stu- dents and teachers, but Mr. Blessing is looking on the bright side of PHS for the moment at least. Handling discipline, according to Mr. Blessing, was his biggest re- sponsibility as principal. He stat- ed, “Working with teachers in pro- viding the best curriculum for stu- dents,” was his goal along with su- pervising the kids. He also sug- gested that kids get involved in setting the rules. “If they had a part in making them, they might abide by them better,” he said. Working busily alongside Mr. Blessing was Mrs. Grosse, school secretary. Among her many jobs were tabulating grades and atten- dance and keeping track of money and lunch tickets. “I like the kids,” was her response to what she enjoyed most about her job. Helping in the office during noon and taking care of eighth hours are some of Wej| ;t’8 not 9 to 5 or Dollv either, but it is 8 to 4 and Mrs. Grosse, the school secretary, the things that keep Mrs. Ball busy. Starting the day early to prepare lunch by 11:00 are Mrs. Bain. Mrs. Went- worth, and Mrs. Wilson. Fixing the vacuum cleaner are custodians Mr. Stucky and Mr. Wentworth. They’ve been helped by various part-time custodians with cleaning. Getting the kids to school safely and on time are Mrs. Newfield, Mrs. Burke, Mr. Helmer, and Mr. and Mrs. Graham. 23 Freshmen Begin High School Courses Diana Akers Kevin Bass Crissy Bowser Mike Britton Pam Bullock Deeana Cook Pam Foth Daryl Friesen Stanley Funk Shawn Garcia Robin Goddard Stephen Gillet Frank Glenn Bryan Goering Rodger Graham Starting their first year in high school, the freshman acquired many new responsibilites. Joining clubs, becoming an officer, chang- ing classes, having different teach- ers and homework assignments were the many changes the “rook- ies” encountered. “What has been the highlight of your freshman year?” was an- swered by Robin Goddard, who stated she enjoyed all the things freshmen do. Among her favorites was “Going to P.E. to play games.” Shawn Garcia replied, “the enjoy- ment of being called a rookie, be- ing shoved in the halls and pick- ing on seniors,” were the high- lights of his freshman year. More privileges were another highlight of their year as Denise Strasser liked, “doing what you want during noon hour.” Scott Zogelman’s reply, “The Homecoming Dance,” was another popular response. ■ IT A state of slight confusion comes over Tina Hilliard while she's working with her pat- tern for Home Economics I. Part of being a freshman is being confused every now and then.

Rhonda Brewer feels things are “better, but upperclassmen still come down on you. Now, we can let the rookies hear it though! Things are changing. Before, you would never talk back to upperclassmen, but ev- eryone talks back to everyone.” Agreeing with Rhonda, Kenny Grosse likes, “not being pes- tered by a big mouth senior try- ing to look good!” Karletta Ratzloff replied, “It’s easier also, ’cause people in- clude you in more things.” Then there were a few strange answers like Mark Shaw’s, “Weird, yeah, it’s really weird!” Paul Martinez Paula Martinez Rick Mellott David Nesson Linda Nightengale Karletta Ratzloof Brenda Riggs Kim Searles Andra Shank Sophomores Express Their Opinions Being a new student isn't always easy as Lucy Burwell and Sheila Funk well know.

They needed to raise money so they could reach their goal of a great prom in the spring. To help reach their goal, they had a bake sale at the Peabody Octo- berfest and worked in concession stands. Selling magazines in Octo- ber, netted them a $1,452.60 prof- it. College-minded juniors had the choice in November to take the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. This test mea- sures verbal and mathematical abilities important for academic performance in college. Occupies Much Of The Juniors’ Time 33 Juniors Speak Up About Next Year Tammy Solomon Darla Stucky Gwen Stucky Donna Taylor Laura Taylor Photo Not Availablt Lindsey Vogelman Darren Weems Shelli Whisler Jill White Robin Wolf “What do you look forward to your senior year?” was the question asked of juniors in a yearbook questionnaire. Darla Stucky’s reply, “The last day,” and Stephanie Mirt’s re- sponse, “Graduation and get- ting out of school,” were com- mon responses. Others stated in detail what they planned on doing after getting out of school. Rick McIntosh planned on “Moving out to California as soon as I graduate.” “Getting a job for one year, then going to college to be an engineer,” were goals of Scott Litton. Don’t listen to Tim: he doesn't have a clue,” says Deb Gillet during debate. The October Homecoming Dance was a time to join in on the fun in the junior high gym.

Escaping to the outside jungle was what the seniors dreamed of all year. They answered the question of “What are your plans after high school?” “Move to Portland, Oregon, and get a job at Nance Speed Shop,” was Fred Carson’s idea of escaping. He also wants to buy a car and take it out and race every weekend. Lisa Logan plans on finding a job, then attending a vo-tech school. “After that, I would like to become a hospital nursery nurse to take care of the new- born,” she stated. Vo-tech school is also one of Dwayne Aker’s future endeav- ors as is “making lots of money and fast cars.” Reading and Writing Lab is a new Eng- lish class. Tony Strasser and Kelly Rayes, at left, demonstrate its purpose. 37 Tony Newfield Don Shirley Hubert Piland Don Stovall Bonnie Preheim Kim Shaw From schooling to getting jobs, the seniors had many different areas of interest for the question, “What are your plans after high school?” Trent Brunner plans to finish his vocational carpentry training, stating he only needs one more year to become a certified carpen- ter. “Then I plan on pursuing a career as an electrical engineer,” he said. Working for the red, white and blue is Bryan Morris’ career inter- est. He listed, “Going into the army as a computer programmer and technician” as his post gradu- ation plans. Others Are Off To The World Of Work Annette Warkentine Donna Wilson Kim Youngblood What evils lurk in the minds of these seniors? Dwayne Akers, Curt McDon- ough and Scott Harris wait for Govern- ment class to end. Money earned from summer jobs didn’t last long as the sen- iors began to purchase the usual senior necessities. Early in the year there were pictures to be taken at area studios. Then came the hard decision of which pose to have printed. Later the ordering of memory books, class keys and gradu- ation announcements required careful consideration to deter- mine who should witness this big step. Fitting the traditional graduation cap and gown added the finishing touch to preparing for that special day in May. i 40 Enjoying the relaxing ride on the paddle- boats was one of the many benefits of the senior trip. Curt McDonough and Dwayne Akers take advantage of this rare opportu- nity. Miss Susanne Hetzke and Mrs. Joyce De- Forest are holding Richard Holm at gun point. They could be trying to rob him of his $32 that he received from his part of the class treasury, but more than likely Richard pulled some of his “funny games on these two senior sponsors. He is finally getting paid back for some of the “dirty tricks” he played on many of his class- mates and friends. Seniors Take Over Braggs For A Day Mr. Steve Hetrick doesn't want to take a have other ideas for Mr. Hetrick. Does he bath in Tenkiller Lake, but ten senior guys need a bath that bad? Up before the crack of dawn at 4:00 a.m., the seniors were wide-eyed and ready to go on their senior trip to Fin ’n Feather at Braggs, Oklahoma. Since all chartered buses were booked up, they had to settle for a six-hour ride on a school bus. The most popular place at the resort was the gift shop where they browsed or spent some of the $32 allowance from the class treasury. Other things en- joyed in the afternoon were swimming, fishing, paddle boating, miniature golfing, skating, and playing games at the arcade. In the evening there was skat- ing and dancing before leaving for home. Within only an hour of departure, the bus had trou- ble. The troop landed back home two hours over their al- lotted twenty-four hours. 41 Baccalaureate Starts The Seniors’ Day Baccalaureate started out the sen- iors’ day of honor and recognition with an organ prelude by Marga- ret Jewell and Dorothy Tate. The band played the traditional pro- cessional march. The band also provided special music and the re- cessional march. The service consisted of an invo- cation and scripture for message by Eugene Nelson of the Lutheran Church, a responsive reading by Ken Coddington of the Christian Church, a sermon by John Bland of the Burns United Methodist Church and a benediction by Don- ald Kessler of the Peabody United Methodist Church. Two hymns were also featured. Bringing the sermon for Baccalaureate was Reverend John Bland, minister of the Burns United Methodist Church. His mes- sage was on how our bodies are the temples of God and how we should respect our- selves and never rate ourselves too low. Processional and recessional leaders for Weems was secretary and Shelli Baccalaureate and Commencement are Whisler was the president of the junior traditionally the president and another class officer of the junior class. Darren Realizing that they are taking their fi- nal steps as high school students, Kris Strotkamp and Kim Rose walk down the aisle after Baccalaureate. Time be- tween Baccalaureate and Commence- ment was spent with family and friends talking over high school memories and what the future may hold for them. Seniors Step Into The Alumni Mrs. Evelyn Whitcomb, member of the State Board of Education, was the speaker for the afternoon exercises. Her speech was entitled A Time for Transplanting. Ranks The decision for class valedictorian was made difficult when two students, David and Max Cooper, came up with the same grade point average. To solve this problem The happiest moment of a senior’s life is being experienced by Nancy Hall as she accepts her diploma from Mr. Virgil the board decided to give two Co-Valedic- torian Awards, instead of making a choice between the two.

Mr. Shields Resigns As Head Coach The resignation of Head Coach Randy Shields was the most un- forgettable event during the foot- ball season. After three years as head coach, he submitted his res- ignation on September 27. Assistant Coach John Ireland took over as head coach, and Bill Fer- guson remained as assistant coach. In the fifth game of the season against Inman, the team broke a 17-game losing streak by beating the Teutons 12-8. “The victory, at least for the moment, granted us the warm passionate feeling of a championship,” said Coach Ire- land. They ended the season with an overall record of 2-7, placing sixth in the league. Richie Hammar, Jim Holm, Mike Shaw, and Richard Holm earned spots on the all-MKL football team. Flanker Darren Weems, 25, and tight end Mike Shaw, 40, guard their opponent to slim down the odds against halfback Jim Holm, 20. Without the help of the entire team, touchdowns could be hazardous to the health of the back Fielders. 46 Spirit-Filled Week Brings A Victory! Kathy Meirowsky, Jim Holm, Queen the dance.

The fans show their appreciation. Cowbody, little kids, nerds, and working people were seen throughout the halls during the 1980-81 Homecoming Spirit Week. Students dressed up in those outfits and in blue and white to support the week’s Homecoming activities.

The excitement of the game came when the Warriors defeat- ed the Remington Broncos in a double overtime 6-0. Following the game, students and alumni danced the night away in the junior high gym. Music was provided by DJ Gail Kiger of Hutchinson. 47 The junior varsity season was cut short due to lack of players. Many freshmen and sophomores played a key role on the varsity team, making them ineligible to play a full junior varsity game. Their last game was forfeited by Sedgwick, because they also lacked players. Speaking about both teams, Coach John Ireland stated, “These young men endured a tremendous amount of negative pressure. I do believe; however, they did receive pleasure and experience from football that they’ll never forget.” Varsity’s Record P 0 Chase County 6 21 Marion 0 28 Moundridge 0 14 Hillsboro 0 9 Inman 12 8 Sedgwick 12 42 Remington (2 0T) 6 0 Hesston 0 37 Halstead 0 43 JUNIOR VARSITY: Row 1: Frank Glenn, Kevin Bass, Shawn Garcia, Randy Preheim, Tracy Hett, Roger Lefert.

Sub-State Tournament was the final challenge toward perfection for the volleyball team as they downed In- man 15-8, 15-9, in first round play- offs. They were stopped in the sec- ond round by Madison in close games, 8-15, 15-9 and 14-16. Losing to Madison ended the season, but they finished with a 5-7 record overall and tied for third in the league. This was the best record a volleyball team at Peabody has ever had, according to Coach Hetzke. Becky Hammann, a third-year let- terwoman and 1980-81 captain, was picked for the all-MKL first team. Only one other PHS Warrior has made this elite group in the past four years. Working hard to keep that ball going over the net, Linda Nightengale shows just how it’s done.

Girls’ basketball worked like a team in spite of a 6th place fin- ish in league. Coach John Ire- land said, “This is my fifth year here, and this is the first year we’ve ever been a team.” Beating Berean Academy at sub-state was the best game they played according to Coach Ireland. It was the first game won at sub-state by Peabody since 1973. Lucille Carson, a sophomore, played an outstanding year and was selected for the All-Berean Academy Tournament Team, All-MKL Team and honorable mention on the State 2A Team.

Beating Remington, the number one team in the league, was the highlight of the junior varsity sea- son, even though many Warriors were restricted on playing time by the five quarters’ rule. A state rule says that each player is allowed to play in only five quarters per night. This meant in the early season when both teams played on the same night, a player was restricted on the amount of time she could play. With only eleven girls out for both teams, it created some problems. The junior varsity played each league school once and finished the season with a 3-3 record. The other league game against Hills- boro was not played because of a schedule conflict. Looking forward to the future, Head Coach John Ireland said, “We are like a bank. A lot of teams have overdrawn accounts. We’re going to start collecting on over- due loans in the next two or three years.” JV’s Record P 0 Sedgwick 36 32 Halstead 29 28 Moundridge 10 20 Hesston 13 23 Inman 10 13 Remington 26 21 It looks as though everybody is going to get Nightengale, 40, Lucille Carson, 21, and in on the rebound.

Coach Bill Fergu- son said, “They came close to playing to the best of their abil- ity almost every time we went out.” In the Nemaha Valley Tourna- ment the team held a record of 2-1 and received a consolation trophy. At sub-state they were knocked off in the first round by Luckey of Manhattan. Their season ended with an overall record of 4-15 and a league record of 1-13. “I’m looking forward to next year with so many people re- turning,” Coach Ferguson said.

Surrounding the throne of white patio chairs was the outlining decoration of white napkins and the theme, “You Light Up My Life” in blue lettering. The Warriors played an aggressive game against Hesston, but just couldn’t pull it off. They were de- feated 57-51.

Decorat- ing the gym was the seniors’ job, al- though many other school organiza- tions helped out. Many of the decora- tions used were salvaged from last year’s prom.

Junior Varsity Has Split Personalities The boys’junior varsity basket- ball team suffered because of players who doubled as varsity players and others who quit in mid-season. A state rule says a player can only participate in five quarters per night. Their struggle was also evident in the scores. “Most of the play- ers were freshmen,” said Head Coach Bill Ferguson. They finished with an overall record of 2-9 and a league re- cord of 2-8. JUNIOR VARSITY: Row 1: Frank Glenn. Dennis Stucky, Randy Preheim, Kevin Bass.

Records Are Broken By Track Stars School records were broken con- tinuously by the track team at each meet in which they compet- ed. Those broken were boys’ weightman 400 meter relay (Paul Martinez, Richard Holm, Mike Shaw, Rich Hammar), boys’ 3200 meter relay (Scott Harris, David Cooper, Jim Holm, Roger Lefert), boys’ high jump (Jim Holm), girls’ 400 meter relay (Julie Helmer, Linda Nightengale, Brenda Riggs, Lucille Carson), girls’ discus (Lin- da Nightengale), girls’ 400 meter run (Lucille Carson), girls’ 800 meter run (Lucille Carson) and girls’ 3200 meter run (Dee Krause). In regionals at Emporia State University only the top three fin- ishers went on to compete in state. The only three to achieve this were Lucille Carson in the 400 me- ter run and 800 meter run, Linda Nightengale in the discus and Jim Holm in the long jump. Jim Holm gives a look of anguish as he takes that “leap of joy” to try to win first spot in the long jump competition.

In the boys’ tournament the Enforcers lost to the Stonies and the Barroom Buddies beat Trent’s Angels to win the girls’ tournament. Other teams were the J.D.’s, the men’s faculty, the women’s faculty and the Buschers. With a final score of 694, the golf team competed for the fourth year in a row at state.

A school- wide discussion helped the Stuco to find what the students liked and disliked. Among the activities sponsored by Stuco were the Mixer in Sep- tember and Homecoming in Oc- tober. The Stuco also success- fully hosted the 1980 Mid-Kan- sas League Stuco Workshop in October. Pop and candy sales during break and their concession commission were the main fund-raising projects. Setting the mood for the October Stuco Workshop, Jay Basler, at left, from Bethel College’s Office of Student Services, pre- sents the opening address.

To increase member- ship, newcomers were wel- comed to attend an FHA picnic in the park and the newly elect- ed officers attended an officers’ workshop at Marion in Septem- ber. In October the girls hosted a Father-Daughter Banquet for their “daddies.” Nutrition and health were emphasized during their Student Body Week in January. In February they cele- brated National FHA Week and attended district elections at South Haven. They featured a cookie marathon in March. April was the month of “chow- ing down,” as they served at the FFA’s Banquet and hosted their own Mother-Daughter Banquet. Finally, those who earned the most points through the year were honored by attending the State FHA Meeting at Wichita 62 in May. “We Are Family,” the state FHA theme for 1980-81, was demonstrated at the FHA Banquet. Members presented their mothers with carnations after the meal, which the FFA served. President Donna Bloomer is presiding over the business portion of the evening in the junior high gym. Officers for next year were an- nounced at the banquet. FFA Radiates On Days Of Judgement Future Farmers of America went all out to “capture the titles.” In Sep- tember their booth at the Kansas State Fair put $270 in their pockets for third place. The FFA Entomol- ogy team placed second in the South Central District Entomology and Horticulture Contest at Wichita in October. They also participated in a parliamentary procedure contest in November and a meat judging con- test in Hutchinson in December. Two seniors, Max Cooper and Danny Kyle, placed 2nd and 5th, respective- ly, in the South Central District Speech Contest at El Dorado in March, qualifying them for State FFA Speech Contest in May. Others placing in the top ten were Royce Schmidt, 5th; Curt Glaser, 7th; and David Cooper, 8th. They sold everything from apple ci- der to sheep manure at the October- fest. In November they hosted a father member lamb feed, a hayrack ride scavenger hunt with the FHA and a FFA Sweetheart Contest won by Robin Wolf. An annual money- raising event, the FFA Slave Auc- tion, was held in March netting $998. This money was used in April for the FFA Banquet which rounded out the year. Randy Preheim, Mack Clark.

Backwoods Life Depicted Uniquely Lucy Maxwell is terrified of snakes be- ing in the cabin. Ceelie is determined to kill any snakes if she “spots them. One bath in a lifetime is enough!

Five and Juney Lou wonder what’s has to take a bath on her weddin’ day,” happening, while Paw doesn't really care. A crowd filled the auditorium No- vember 21 and 22 for Hillbilly Weddin’ by LeRoma Rose Greth. Meanwhile, Bonnie Mae and Ron- ald decide to get married and move back to the city. When the reverend refuses a shotgun wedding,” Paw gives him help in changing his mind. After changing the reverend's mind he helps Ronald get out the words, “1 Do. Maw Belsnickle insists that her three daughters-Ceelie, Bonnie Mae, and Juney Lou-get married. Ceelie, the ugliest, dirtiest and ol- dest, was to be married first. This creates a problem for Paw as no Kentucky menfolk wanted to be within fifty feet of Ceelie, let alone marry her. When Ronald Maxwell and his rich Aunt Lucy appear on the Belsnickle’s doorstep, Ceelie falls in love and so does Bonnie Mae. Paw decides that Ceelie is going to marry Ronald whether Ronald likes it or not. In the middle of Ceelie and Ron- ald’s wedding, Obeey Upschlager admits that he loves Ceelie and wants to marry her. In The “Hillbilly Weddin’” Comedy Play If Obeey was caught by the cousins, he would be killed. Drastic action is taken as Obeey puts on Ceelie’s dress and Juney Lou’s bonnet to become Rosie Bell. A touch of lipstick adds the final touches to the new guest. Problems arose later when Cousin Zeke wanted to marry Rosie Bell. Rosie Bell convinces him otherwise. Showing her feelings about a “shot-gun wedding,” Bonnie Mae tries to stop Paw. He feels this is the only way to convince Ronald to marry Ceelie. Bonnie Mae’s action did not help change Paw’s mind. Paw locked her in the hog pen with Lucy Maxwell. “Nothing like being locked in a hog pen to get acquainted! Hillbilly Weddin’ Play Cast And Stage Crews Paw ............. Mark Glover Maw ..........

Ceelie thanks Cousin Zeke for starting the feud. Zeke’s reaction was, “That reminds me of the time Maw threw a wet pickle at me ..” He’s Got What It Takes To Get There During National FFA Week Danny drove his tractor to school as did many other FFA members. Danny also par- ticipated in various contests and activi- ties. With hardwork and talent Danny, bass guitar and tuba made the National FFA Band. Danny Kyle sent an audition tape to Roger Heath, director of the Future Farmers of America National Band, in April of 1980 and was accepted to positions playing tuba and bass guitar. Danny was excused from school in November for a week to per- form at the National FFA Con- vention at Kansas City. Danny says he practices two to four hours a week in the off sea- sons and at least one hour a day in the performing seasons. “Band has been very exciting for me and has helped me ap- preciate work,” stated Danny. “When the work is over, there is a lot to enjoy due to your hard work.” In total concentration Danny works in the vo-ag shop to overhaul his dad’s 1947 Minneapolis Moline. Danny used it for his Vo-Ag IV project. 66 ABOVE: Lunch time is a good time to catch up on the latest news. It is also a good time to eat. Samson Gebre-Eg- ziabher listens as his new friends talk. While living in this area, Nardos and Samson are staying with Ed and Betty Grimwood in Burns. When asked why they came to this area, Nardos replied, Twenty-four years ago our uncle was Dancing in Ethiopia is not different from American dancing. Nardos Gebre- Egziabher proves that, at right, as she dances to Coyote with Bryan Morris at the Prom. an exchange student at KU and stayed with the Grimwoods. When we knew we were coming to the States, we contacted them.” In November, PHS was honored by the arrival of senior exchange students Nardos and Samson Gebre-Egziabher. They came to the United States to better their education. Their schooling in Ethiopia consisted of private schooling for Nardos and both private and co-ed for Sam- son. Being brought up without Ameri- can History didn’t change Nardos’ enthusiasm for history. She dug into it with all her heart and it became her favorite subject. Samson could usually be found programming a computer in the math room. It didn’t take him long to become one of the PHS “computer nuts.” Nardos and Samson both plan to continue their education after high school. Samson is consider- ing Emporia State University, but Nardos is still contemplating her decision. Two Ethiopians Relocate At Peabody 67 Brice Koth looks for a dance partner. Playing the right song creates a crowded dance floor, which is the goal of any dance. “Ho! Ho! Ho!” Rings Through Christmas Dance “Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas!” were words heard from a jolly lit- tle man who made a surprise visit at the Christmas Formal on De- cember 20 in the junior high gym. Even though attendance was low and the sophomores lost money, spirits of the few students who at- tended were high. Decorations of red and green high- lighted the dance. Disc Jockey Mike Floyd of Hutchinson pro- vided the music and a light show. Beware of the glare! Mark Glover keeps an eye on his date, Jill White, as John Snell- ing whispers in her ear. You can never be sure about who might show up at the Sophomore Christmas Formal. Even Santa Claus took time out from his busy Christmas schedule to join in on the fun out on the dance floor. San- ta's partner, Jackie Mellott, can’t under- stand why he had to leave his reindeer outside. Pictured above is “The Tribe,” alias pep club.

Warrior spirit was on the warpath, but even before basketball rolled around it had been put on the reservation. Tribe T-shirts became only a way to get in games free and cheering at the games and making posters waned. The male yell leaders began missing practices and games, then dropped out all together. Warrior Club’s last show of activity was sponsoring Queen of Courts. PHS occasionally had time from sports and homework to go to concerts to see their favor- ite groups perform or to catch up on what was happening at the Self-Serve, the most popu- lar hangout before and after school. The most popular movies were Caddvshack. Ordinary People. Seems Likes Old Times. The Empire Strikes Back, and 9 to lL While some were making their own style of clothes that suited them, others were going along with the fad that appealed to both the guys and girls. The fashions were painter’s pants, tight jeans, and overalls. The shirts consisted of a concert shirt, a favorite college shirt or even a dressy one. When you wanted to dress up, the girls wore plaid skirt, with a blazer and high heels or boots. When in a casual, relaxed mood, kids took off their dress-up clothes and put on their painter’s pants, college shirts and “tennie runners.” One of the most popular brands of painter’s pants was DeeCee. which appeared in many dif- ferent colors. Modeling their outfits are Jackie Mellott, Andra Shank and Patsy Dal Ike. Students Take Time To Keep Up Rich Hammar and Donna Wilson show off the look of curled and permed hair. Many kids were seen with this popular hair style. Feathered-back hair and braided hair con- tinued to be popular at PHS. Shana Ma- ples and Paula Martinez show their “stuff.” This pile represented the many different styles of shoes that were seen at PHS. Among them are tennis shoes, thongs, sad- dle oxfords and clogs. 70 .VJV'' Something to help the students of PHS remember the popular rock concerta are concert T-shirts. The following students kept that memory at PHS: Scott Litton, Marsha Graybeal, Carnella Bloomer, Mack Clark. Another fashion was tight jeans. Mike Shaw and Troy Arnold model that PHS look. The “farmer look” was another trend at PHS. Shelli VVhisler, Kim Rose and Judi Hall show us that look and col- lared shirts with ties. With The Fads And Trends Of “81” Dressing up became one of the most “in fashions” at PHS. Guys dragged their dress pants and shirts out of the closets and girls found dresses they forgot they had. Diane White and Andra Shank show us the popu- lar fashion of plaid skirts with a blazer or vest. Some girls wore boots with this outfit, but most wore heels. Braids, curls, perms, feathered or just tied-back were the styles of hair. While walking through the halls, it wasn’t an uncommon thing for someone to say, “I haven’t got a clue” or, “Fine.” If everything was fine then, “What’s the hassle?” was heard. Maybe it was because “you been out doing some- thing.” Everyone was going to a “Cele- bration” and saying “I’ll Keep On Loving You” after school is out. They tuned their stereos to their favorite artists like John Lennon, Pat Benetar, Billy Joel, Dolly Parton, and Eddie Rabbitt to relay and to forget some of the hassles of school. The students were thinking of past memories of the year and what the future would be bring- ing. With “REO Speedwagon” and “Styx” playing, “The Best of X mes” were coming to an end for PHS students. Coyote Band Sets The Mood During the banquet Miss Leslie Clark After having enjoyed a fine dinner pre- friends. Others, like Mike Shaw, sat quietly played the piano and sang love songs from pared by the junior mothers, everyone sat just taking it all in while waiting for the 1930-80. around and relaxed and talked with evening's entertainment to begin. Have you ever tried to build a space- ship? If you’ve got a team like Mitch Moffett, Curt Glaser, Mack Clark, Jill White and Gwen Stucky, what could go wrong? At the banquet Danny Kyle and Rich- ard Holm read the class will. 72 For ‘Don’t Look Back’ Theme With a band like Coyote entertaining, it's no wonder everyone was in the mood to dance. Even those who just enjoy watching got out on the floor and found out that it wasn't so bad after all. To have a band The dance floor was crowded for the ma- jority of the evening. Everyone enjoyed be- ing among his friends. Gradually, couples instead of a disc jockey helped make the evening a success. The band proved to be worth the $750 that the juniors spent on them. began leaving to get on with their plans for the night. Coyote set the mood for the Prom theme, “Don’t Look Back.” The junior class decided to save on decorations and spend more money on a band. They salvaged decorations from last year’s Prom and bought only a few new decora- tions. Five days were spent giv- ing the gym a futuristic setting. Mothers of juniors worked all day to prepare the meal for the banquet. The menu consisted of roast beef, mashed potatoes and gravy, corn, dinner rolls, jello salad and a dessert bar. Between the banquet and dance there was an hour break to set up for the dance and for juniors and seniors to pick up their dates. After the dance, juniors, seniors and their dates were treated to the movie Nine To Five at the Fox in Newton. 73 ‘School’s Out!

Now Leaving The PHS Zoo Thanks For Not Feeding The Animals “Snap, Crackle, Pop,” Say BES Walls After spending $5,447.40 on roof- ing, stabilizing floor joists and spraying for termites, everyone thought the Burns Elementary Building was ready for the year. September 10, 1980, Carroll Harder, local carpenter, was called to repair what seemed to be just some fallen ceiling tile in the northwest corner of the third floor of the building. It turned out to be a 1-2 inch crack running from above the front doors to the roof. The wall was actually pulling away from the ceiling. For safety reasons the kindergar- ten, 3-4, 4-5 and 7-8 classes were moved to the Methodist Church and the 1-2 class was moved to the Burns Community Center (school lunchroom) for the rest of the year. Since the gym is a part of the main building, the junior high had to eliminate the basketball program for this year. The soccer, volley- ball and track programs were not affected. In 1921 the building, pictured below, housed the Burns High School. Now, it serves as the grade school and junior high. Number 4 on the wall marks the placement of a monitoring device used to gauge the movement of the building after it was va- cated. Ideas for a solution ranged from repairing the old building to con- structing a new K-6 building and unifying the Burns and Peabody Junior Highs at Peabody. “Everyone is relieved the decision has been made,” said Superinten- dent Wika. The board voted to keep the complete K-8 program in Burns and repair the building. The bid was awarded to Rainbow Construction of Wichita for $34,763 on March 30, 1981. It is planned for the work to begin by the close of school so as to be finished by next year. 80 BES Personnel Show Their Versatility BES personnel showed their ver- satility by taking on more than one job in the school district. With only 58 students in the Burns school, this proved to be a valu- able asset to the staff. Being the principal at Burns keeps Mr. teaches the 5-8 grades P.E. and 7-8 grades Andregg busy, but his job doesn’t stop Science, Social Studies, Career Education there. He also coaches all the sports and and Handwriting. Keeping things running smoothly is the secretary, Mrs. Waggy. Mrs. Buller keeps busy as the librarian aide for Burns Elementary and the Pea- body Grade and High School. Not only are Mrs. Bowser and Mrs. Cubbaee the cooks, they are also the janitors.

The gym is located on the first floor of the building. Therefore, when classes were removed from the building, volleyball and bas- ketball practice and home games were impossible. The volleyball squad did manage to participate in four season games (all away) and a tournament. Building The building situation didn’t af- fect the practicing of the soccer team, but they were still unable to host and play home games. Their seasons consisted of four away games and a tournament.
