If entertainment is what you want, the talented students of Raymore- eculiar can give it to you. From shows and concerts to sporting events, the Panthers always know how to tcatch the spirit and let the good times shine. Therets more to a high school student than simply going from class to class. The average R-P student enjoys a full day. Clubs, af- ter-school practices and meetings happen after the 2:55 bell rings.

A first for R-P was the addition of a week-long spring break in March. Many seniors were off to Hawaii while other headed for the Colorado slopes. But for every grade, a much-deserved week of re- laxation was enjoyed. Traditional dances such as Homecoming, Snowball, Winter- warming and Prom added to the magic of the school year. As the end of the year approached, one could find seniors thinking about life decisions, juniors looking forward to Graduation t87, sophomores anxious to become upperclassmen and freshmen still trying to fit in. , v Of course who could ever forget the familiar sight of the bull- dozers and cranes?

Yearbook co-editor, Melisa Martin first announced the qualifications. Panther King and Queen are selected by faculty members on the basis of scholarship, lead- ership, community service and extra-cur- ricular activities. This is a very high honor and the two people who were chosen are very deserving. The editor, J eff Pendergraft, announced ttThe 1985-86 Panther King and Queen are J ohn Lucas and Michele Palmer.

Michele has also been a wrestling statis- tician and she has played softball in sum- mer leagues and at Ray-Pec. Michele is a teachers aide and she enjoys sewing and spending her spare time with friends. Michele,s future plans include attending CMSU. She is undecided on a major.

It rained for solid weeks at a time. As summer comes around, more stu- dents obtain part-time jobs at stores and fast-food restaurants to earn some extra money for the weekends. The summer weekend usually consists of a nice dinner at McDonaldts with that spe- cial person, followed by a highly entertain- ing movie like HPee Weeis Big Adventure, or maybe uBack to the Fu- ture? The night usually ends back at Me- Donaldis with friends. Most students complain that the sum- mer went too fast, uIt seems like I went to sleep one night, woke up, and it was time to go back to school, Robin Nuss said.

Spirit of competition, RP The year began with school spirit at an all-time high! Students and teachers came back after summer vacation with a new at- titude. They showed more spirit and enthu- siasm than ever before. Percentages for dressing up for Spirit Days and hall decor- ations were at a peak. Junior Amy Files said, itThere was bet- ter attendance at games and the crowd showed lots of spirit and got wild and crazy? The first? Spirit Day was colorful Hawaiian days with sunglasses and ber- shines all around muda shorts. Soon afterwards followed Spirit Week with Mickey Mouse, P.J., Royals, Brady Bunch, and the traditional Black, White and Gold Days. Teachers won Spirit Week with 5196 par- ticipation and a 100047, on Black, White and Gold Day. Freshmen followed with a 31.9w, followed by juniors, seniors and the sophomores. Cheerleaders and band members worked many hours to prepare for the pep assemblies, and getting the crowd in- volved.

The sopho- mores and freshmen floats followed. Each underclass attendant rode on their class float. Junior attendant was Tracy Martin; sophomore Robin Goade and freshman Shelly Martin were also attend- ants. The senior candidates Debbie Neid- linger, Teresa Gaston and Kristan Ament entered the football stadium in a converti- ble. Minutes later, Kristan Ament was named 1985 Homecoming Queen and was crowned by 1984 Queen Kim Shrewsberry. itI felt privileged to be a candidate, but felt very honored to win the crown? Kristan cheerfully replied. The Panthers football game with the St. Marys Trojans was forfeited because 16 players had become ineligible. In order for R-P to play a homecoming game, Glen- dale, Springfield ta 5A schooD agreed to make the trip. Glendale was one of only two schools in the state not scheduled to play that night. Although the Panthers lost 12-7, the eve- ning waslstill a success. The night was topped off with the traditional homecom- ing dance sponsored by the fall cheer- leaders. Everyone dressed up in their formaVsemi-formal wear and they had an option of having pictures taken by Long Photography Group. The music was pro- vided by Mannequin Mobile Sound. 1985 Homecoming Queen Kristan Ament and attendants Debbie Neid- linger and Teresa Gaston pose with their escorts just after the pre-game coronation ceremony.

Whether youtre a cheerleader, musician or a bas- ketball player, camps are an important part of high school. Some of the camps students attended in 1985 were pompon camp, Girls and Boys State, basketball, football, volleyball and wrestling camp, music cheerleading and student council camps. Awards were won by the pompon squad at Emporia, which included two trophies and the Spirit Stick. The varsity cheer- leaders were named Grand Champions at their camp held at Drury College in Au- gust. R-P,s winning cross-country teams even sponsored a 24-hour run designed simply to have fun. Many athletic camps were held at R-P by coaches to teach their players funda- mentals and new skills of their sports. ttYou learn how good you really are during tbasketballi camp and you learn different skills? said Ed Lamkin, senior. No matter what though, if students at- tended the camps, they always learned new things about themselves and others. ttI enjoyed music camp tat CMSUi be- cause I met people that I still keep in touch with. We had a lot of fun as we learned about music? said sophomore, Mindi Martin. Whatever the specific camp taught, each individual was enriched by experiences and learned things that truly helped them to tcatch the spirit, of t85-t86. n Pompon girls smile pretty before performing.

Backpacks, oversized purses and plaid wallets are a definite fashion statement this season. The 1985-86 school year brought in pat- terns galore at Ray-Pec. Many students dared to wear fun and bizarre patterns. Some took yesterdays preppy look and turned it funky. Out-of-proportion layers. large and small, got all mixed up. Slouchy suspender pants were teamed up with a print oversized shirt, casually leaving the shirttails out, and a classic cardigan to complete the apparel. Bold pattern mixtures seemed to make a spectacular fashion statement. Plaids and checks were splashed with colorful varsity sweaters. Clothes companions were a must. EV- erything from dazzling brooches, paisley bow ties. suspenders and nubby socks. Foot gear and leg gear added class to every look. Esprit, Benetton and Forenza coordi- nates are just some of todayts favorites. Big and baggy sweaters and shirts thrown over the stretchy stirrup pants. Mickey and Co. and Coca-Cola have a new line of clothes out that are growing popular among everyone. A new craze is Swatch watches. The water resistant watches with a variety of colors and fun faces, that complete any everyday apparel. Not only do they make watches, but have come out with sweat- shirts and sweatpants displaying the swatches. Floral prints and tapestry items are back. From blazers and shirts to jeans and socks and shoes. Different looks came about through the year.

FIELD TRIPS ASSEMBLIES Students take to the city to learn, experience life Various clubs and classes take field trips in and around the Kansas City area. The photography class took a field trip to the downtown area of Kansas City to take pic- tures for a grade. Clubs took trips for fun . . . , . . and to aid the community.

The blindfolded wrestlers kissing their mothers, but expecting to kiss their girl- friends, only played part in jokes played ' throughout the year. Mr. David Brown and Mrs. Sue Poppe searched through a whipped cream pie with their teeth for a lemon drop. And the day of the assembly where John Lucas almost got sick eating cream cheese in a race.

It was originally scheduled for Friday, December 13, but due to ice and snow, school was dismissed for two days and it put the Student Council behind on plans. Snowball King and Queen were crowned at halftime of the Ray-Pechelton game. The Panthers won 5448 for first place in the Ray-Pec Tournament. Snowball candidates were seniors, George Farrill and Suzie Bloodworth; J eff Stohr and Sandy Cummings and Mark Hill and Sara Keltner. King and Queen were J eff Stohr and Sandy Cummings. Sandy and I were really excited, said J eff Stohr. uShe looked really nice, and during the dance everyone kept yelling at me; it was a neat experience.

Student Council worked hard to make the semi-formal dance a success and put up with a lot of hardships because of the snow days. There were five committees working on the dance: entertainment, roy- alty, publicity, decoration and refresh- ments. Rob Roberts Productions from Belton was the DJ. ttThe dance was not very crowded, but most of the people seemed to be having fun? said junior, Scott Bruegge.

The evening was a winner starting with the JV game against OtHara when they won in double overtime 60-58, making their record 15-1. After crowning of the king and queen, the varsity boys captured the co-cham- pionship of the conference by defeating the varsity Celtics 49-41. The coronation, coordinated by Christy York and Debbie Neidlinger, took place between games. The queen was Christine 0,Brien and the king was John Miller. After the game, a dance was to be held in the gym with the band, HAmnesty.n It had been a long time since a live band had performed at a dance. After several attempts to hook up their equipment and after most of the students had given up and left, the band gave up and everyone topped off the evening on their own.

With roles open for 11 actors, director, Mike Beahm felt that he could give more students a chance to be involved with the drama program if the play was open for four performances with each cast having two performances. Out of 22 performers, 13 of them were new to high school theater. Many of them emerged as tstarsl thaving found a new talent they never knew that they pos- sessedl.

A special dedica- tion to the memory of Christo- pher Mark DeLuca was made at 9:30. This memorial senior class slidetvideo, a gift from the juniors, lasted 35 minutes and was made up of highlights from the class of 865 high school years. The traditional crowning of the Prom King and Queen occurred shortly after 10:00. Prom King candidates were David Cobb, Brian Dake, Bill Harmon, Tom Kruse and Jeff Pugh. . Prom Queen candidates were Michell Cox, Sandy Cummings, Mary Gebauer, Michele Palmer and Jill Better. The music for the evening was provided by Promethean Sound and Lighting. The sound system included ElectroVoice speaker systems with over 600 watts of power. Non-stop videos were pro- jected on a 10 foot screen. The senior class video was also shown on this screen. Scholastic Services provided photographers for the evening. Picture packets were $6. Leather covers, poster-size photographs and buttons were available to order.

A new wing containing nine classrooms was completed for the science, business and math departments. Tile was laid in the sophomore hall, new tables were purchased for the cafeteria and new sinks and faucets were installed in the bathrooms. The smell 'Of fresh paint drifted down the halls mixed with dust from the new wing. Weighted classes went into effect bringing the district in line with other schools in the area. After assessing needs at the elementary schools and after reassessment went into ef- fect giving the district a higher bond ceiling, a bond issue was finally passed to construct more classrooms at both Raymore and Pe- culiar elementaries. This will give the still- growing district some breathing space. Committees worked on areas from policy changes, to curriculum to career ladders. The district qualified for GOMO matching funds for the career ladder program. Offi- ecials jumped at the opportunity to get more money for the district with only a 40 percent local outlay. The career ladder money will go to those teachers who qualify and com- plete the necessary paperwork to receive compensation. , Tyifpyg g2: IY PAUL 3091!!!

From sweeping the hall, keep- ing attendance, to cooking meals to satisfy the students and teachers, without these people the school would fall apart. This year the school hired Chuck Messer to be in Charge of the janitors. This helps out better with the janitorial services by giving each janitor specific duties and coordinating work between buildings. This year, Secretary Sharon Shores replaced Barbara To- karz, who retired last year. Mrs. Shores seems to be fitting in well, the students enjoy her a lot. ttSheis always got a smile for someone and 'she adjusted well her first year, said Junior Trisha Miller.

These classes are all part of the communications curri- culum. In foreign language classes, students see slides and taste the cuisine of the lan- guages they study. Students took field trips to watch plays in various languages and eat at ethnic restaurants. Speech, forensics and debate help stu- dents improve the way they speak in front of a group. Students can also participate in speech and forensics tournaments prepar- ing them for district and state competition. In journalism, students learn the basics of interviewing and writing journalistical- 1y. They gain a new appreciation of print media and learn to look at situations objec- , tively.

It is definitely manditory in high school. Its the English department. The English curriculum is set up in a progressive program-consisting of English I stressing grammar skills. Proceeding is English II stressing writing skills. This is a two-year progressive format, which is con- sistently growing. Continuing from Eng- lish II, students choose from an assort- ment of elective classes in literature and in writing skills. For example, one might take Creative Writing I and II, myths, ad- vanced composition, short stories, liter- ature for the college bound, College Prep I Hours of hard work go into prepara- tions for a term paper.

The program has turned into a progres- sive one, where in the past 13 years, it had been just repetitious. This year, thereis been a change. Ray- Pec has added weighted classes, but not solely to English. The weighted classes are a good addition in the aspect of not only raising GPAs, but more than likely has challenged the students, according to Mrs. Kathy Jenkins. The English department consists of Sal- ly Sportsman, Ruth Bloodworth, Susan Poppe, Julia Shippy, Mike Beahm, Susan Mayes, Denise Jennison, Barbara Ingram and Kathy Jenkins. .nmwwmvwmmm h Eng 0 Mrs. Linda Leaton filled in for Mrs. 18 a creative writing student during a ternity leave.

Technologyinvades the classroom As universities demand tougher college prep courses, the Science Department has added new classes within the past few years to meet their new requirements. With classes such as human physiology, field biology and aerospace added to the science curriculum, R-P,s department has grown to meet students changing needs. Instructors, Cynthia Boggs, Dave Ar- . nall, J oe Hunter, J ay J ohnson, David Moul and department head, Bill Dooley, are in charge of curriculum and coordinating ac- tivities for the department. While freshmen learn the basics of plants and animals in their required physi- cal and general science courses, upper- class students learn the periodic table of the elements. Students challenged them- selves in such advanced courses as physics and comparative anatomy. The science department planned many activities to interest students in science re- lated fields and to give kids a better under- standing of what theylve learned. Biology classes took their annual field trip to the zoo, while comparative anatomy and field biology classes went to KUls Museum of Natural History. Chemistry classes visited Wolf Creek Nuclear Power Plant and the aerospace classes shot off rockets at the end of the semester. Department head, Bill Dooley, reported that a science award was in the planning stages and 12 0f R-Pls best science stu- dents were entered in the Science Knowl- edge Bowl at Rockhurst College. In addition, part of the new construction will add to the Science Department. iiIt will give the department the space we need. Teachers will be able to prepare bet- ter and the design is better than the old wing. Students will enjoy classes more with the new design? said Mr. Dooley. This year, physical science classes used the computer more than ever before and plans continue for increased use of them. It is obvious that as R-P grows, the sci- ence department does too.

The course consists of one unit each on the Missouri Constitution and the United States Constitution. Re- quired state tests were administered throughout the year. All students are re- quired to pass the constitution tests in or- der to graduate from high school. World history, taught by Ed Gunter and Joe Tokarz is a required course for all sophomores.

Students become more familiar with dif- ferent religions, imperialism, nationalism, feudalism, World War I and II, Incas, Az- tecs, Myas, colonialism, exploration and much more. American history taught by Dave Brown, Kelley Smith and Joe Tokarz, is a required course for every high school stu- dent by state law. American history is a study of America from the 1860s to the present. Throughout the year, history students were required to write and give oral re- ports over history-making events. Other courses offered by the social stud- ies department were World Geography, Law Enforcement, Sociology and Psychol- ogy.

Fine Arts Students study the finer things in life This years fine arts activities have been busy learning to act, sing and advancing their art skills. Ray-Pec has nearly 40 stu- dents enrolled in acting and directing classes. The students did a variety of exer- cises and projects designed to improve their skills. Acting scenes were memorized and per- formed in class. Tapes were used in listen- ing exercises so students could learn to speak with various foreign accents. Their work culimated with the public presentation of five one-act plays, pro- duced, directed and performed entirely by the students. Independent-art classes allow students to develop further skills and styles based on the students' knowledge and interest, which increase artistic performance. Design class worked on an overall graphic building design for Peculiar Ele- mentary School, as well as completing oth- er projects for people within the district for course credit. Junior Paul Rudish as- sisted in the making of the Care Bears movie, including the development of five characters, with his father, Rich Rudish. This years choir is smaller than past years and due to the decreased size, they didnt do as well at contests. ttI think we couldive done better at contests, but the members didntt seem to care as much and they judged a lot harder than in the past, said Senior Melissa Buffon.

This is where some of the student body spends their mornings to learn a trade for the fu- ture. Vo-Tech, located at Harrisonville High School, meets during the morning, first through fourth hours and is worth three credits. Classes such as welding, carpen- try, plumbing and auto mechanics are just a few of the classes that can be taken. Sen- ior Todd Martin, building trades, said, ttVo-Tech is a fun and learning experience for me. I really enjoy the people I work with down there and I like using my hands. Vo-Tech has really taught me a lot and shows me what I can do with my hands and could give me a possible future. Matt Wansing, Vo-Ag, says, ttVocational agriculture has helped me develop skills in leadership and be able to communicate with others in and out of FFA tFuture Farmers of America.

Vo-Tech is a competitive class. To prove this they compete in contests sponsored by Vocational Industrial Clubs of American, or VICA for short. The students from 0355 County Vo-Tech compete with students from five other Vo-Techs. There are 11 schools sending students to the Cass Coun- ty Vo-Tech.

It not only keeps a person in shape, but it teaches the funda- mentals of various sports, such as weight training, competitive team sports, team sports, individual and dual sports, aero- bics and gymnastics. Six coaches, Bill Lenz, Van McLain, Paul Barbarick, Bruce Young, Dwyla Young and Shelley Wright teach all of these sports. Students make the sports fun too. While the guys are playing basketball, one team has their shirts on and the other off and the girls can just sit and gaze. A Jump Rope-A-Thon was held in the gym all day. Money was raised for Jump For Heart.

It gives the students a chance to learn more about businesses and prepares them for the working world. It also gives students with the right amount of credits to go to school half-day so they can make a little money outside of school. It also allows some students to graduate half-year. Getting their drivers license is a big deal to most sophomores, but to the upper- classmen it could be scary, knowing that the sophomores are going to start driving to school. It may even make some people leave their cars at home, safe in the ga- rage. , But really, its not all that bad, actually the beginners are more cautious of how they drive while the upperclassmen seem more wreckless with their driving skills. This year the parking in the parking lot got a little out of hand. People would block cars in, causing disruption in the middle of class with people having to go move their cars. Therels just barely enough room to fit all the drivers in the crowded lot. Voters defeated a bond issue which would have improved parking lot condi- tions. Whether votersapprove money in the future for renovation of the parking lot or not, the parking lot problem must be solved. The counselors are very important peo- ple Without them schedule changes at the beginningbf' first and second semester would be mass confusion even more so than the total chaos it already is. The counselors are always busy through the whole year. Something is always going on in the office of Mr. Parker or Mrs. Thorup. They provided helping hands to students who need someone to talk to or maybe a class to be dropped. ttOverall, this year has been fantastic! We got a new computer and we're learning how to use it. It makes things a lot easier to make grade changes or schedule changes, said counselor Kathy Thorup. Front row: Mr. Looney, Christine Lillig, Robin Nuss, Robin Staats, Melissa Buffon.

Chris was a lifelong student in the Raymore-Peculiar school district and he had been very involved in R-Pls extracurricular activities. But Chris never lived to see his senior year. Chris died of an aneurysm on August 20, 1985, shortly after his 17th birthday. His death came sud- denly and was an unexpected tragedy for both his relatives and classmates. uIt this deathl came as a total shock. It just didnit seem possible. He was really the best? said Scott Smith. Throughout high school, Chris had been involved with Drama Club, track, cross-country and Fellow- ship of Christian Athletes. Chris was an honor stu- dent and he was involved with the 1985 spring musi- cal, iiPippin. Fellow teammates had expected Chris to be the number two runner for the varsity cross-country team. The 1985 squad dedicated their season to his memory and they displayed their respect publicly by wearing black armbands at every meet. In addition, the drama department dedicated the fall play, Trix- ie True to his memory. Senior cross-country captain, John Lucas said, iiChris didnit open up to just anybody, and I consider myself lucky to have been one that he did. When you run with someone for as long as I did, you get to know a different side of them. That side of Chris was spe- cial to me. It was that friendship, care and most of all - Chris was someone to admire. He was funny, smart, talented and athletic. It seemed we competed in everything, like grades, tests, races...I mean everything. , 81 think the competition made us better people, and Pve yet to meet a better person than Chris. I will always remember the many races we ran together. Chris would pull up next to me, weld look at each other and say, iLetts get lemi I think God needed a messenger, and he took the very best? Chris was an important part of the Class of ,86. His untimeiy death left a void which cannot be filled. Al- though most classmates knew him as a quiet and thoughtful teen; the seniors will never forget the kindness and happiness that always surrounded him. He is survived by his parents, John and Trudy i DeLuca and his brother, Rick, a 1985 graduate. 87 . .- ,..A A.wmeu m1 5.

Sprmg, break - Hawa nan style! Surfls up! ! The surf was up and the beaches of Hawaii were Shirley Sears calling 45 seniors for the long awaited spring break. This was Melissa Serres they first spring break known in RayePecls history. The long awaited vacation had finally arrived and was defi- nitely needed. From March 21 to April 1, students and faculty were free to take luxury anyway possible to suit their likings or financial status. Whether it be the urge to hit the sunny slopes of Colorado or to risk it and journey down to Fort Launderdale with all the crazy college students. Either of the two you would be hit by the rampant congestionl. Or maybe the last resort was a typ- ical kick-back and literally take it easy in the dreaded metropolis of Peculiar and Raymore vicinity. From then on out, everyones, social calendars and daily agenda were booked. So, because of all the negative points forseen in the upcom- . ing spring break getaways, the idea came forth from Marty Tlm Setzer Neidlinger, mother of Senior Debbie Neidlinger, to maybe Kerry Slms consider Hawaii, but even though the very idea seemed im- possible, it came about, someway and somehow. The anxious 45 seniors and seven parents departed from the state of Missouri for a long nine-hour flight to reach the once-in-a-lifetime paradise. Activities of every sort were planned. Snorkeling in Hana- ma Bay, horseback riding in the mountains, rock and roll party cruises, parasailing, bodysurfing and absorbing those rays of Hawaii. While the neglected students back in Missouri were 4,000 miles away, they had a daily agenda planned also. Some were cultured and gawked at the modern art of the Nelson Art Gallery, good Samaritans ventured to see their long-lost grandparents. Fred Slaughter Spring break was well worth the wait and whether they Scott Smith came back from Hawaii with a savage tan or burnt to a crisp...it,s all just a fond memory to look back on. ,.. -; .

A 'fantasyt come true The juniors sold over $10,000 worth of magazines, tapes and records. This was more than any class sold before.

The phone calls, requisitions and reservations were part of what made Prom ,86 a success. Committees set up by class officers searched old negatives for pictures of the sen- iors. Other committees made floor decorations or worked on assembling memory books. . Prom invitations were passed out and before anyone real- ized it, they were all invited to Prom t87. Scholastic Services reprinted the invitations for Prom ,86, they were passed out again and another obstacle was overcome. Additional money was spent on Senior Appreciation Week, the week of Prom.

Hels quiet and hes on the shy side. Hels a principalls honor roll student. But upon reaching the playing field or wrestling mat, that shyness disappears. That individual is J ack Diggs. To start out the year-football was the game. Through long, hard practices it paid off, he was the runningback for the freshman football team. Diggs ended his season as a freshman letterman. Proceeding straight from football, came wrestling. Pin- ning one opponent to the next. J ack wrestled in the Freshman Tournament at Rockhurst and brought home a first-place ti- tle. His next challenge was the Blue Valley JV Tournament. Diggs wrestled his way to second place. He ended his season with a'record of 21-3 and as a letterman. But during all this, J ack still had time for his grades. He re- mained a principalls honor roll student throughout the whole year. This wasntt the end of his athletics for the year. There was still the baseball season. J ack played second base for the J V team. Jack Diggs proves that not only can you be a star athlete, but a star academic student at the same time. 111 Jxx1 .- ' Michelle Minnick Chad Mitchell i Jennifer Mitchell Melanie Molendorp I Melanie Moore 1 John Morris 1 1 Robin Mosley i M Scott Nichols FRESHMEN Brent Norman Stacy Olson Kathy Parham Tom Paxton Lawrence Pennington Paula Plunkett Phil Plunkett Jennifer Potter Mary Pryor Beth Pugh Matt Quest Julie Reed Mia Reed Melanie Richter Bob Ruff Felix Salazar Danny Schlagle Nicole Seal Rebecca Shaffer Johnny Shanahan m.gh -. .H .g... h. .. - .. . ... , ;....;,,, . .-.w -., Julie Shields Jennifer Simpson Andrea Skivcrs Amy Slaughter Kyle Slover Shawna Sowder Ken Spillet Jarod Spurgin Joe Stalone Angie Stella Richard Stoneking Scott Swezy David Tannehill Todd Thario Michelle Thomson Wesley Topel Ronnie Toti Mark Tweed Sheryl Ulledahl Tara Ulshafer Angela Vest Stacy Walker Jeff Walworth Cathy Webb Kris Wegley Doug Whitaker Dennis White Shawn Windes Alan Wolfe Jeff Wolfe Maureen Young Rod Young Julie Zimmerman Andrea Zmuda Becky Barrington Michelli- Serros and Kim Sch .' pIm' their I'ino cooking abilities for Y Hi spirit of oomradery through clubs FCA, SADD and FTA are just a fewo clubs that are offered for student partici- pation. There are a total of 29 clubs and each club contributes something back to R-P. For example, Industrial Arts Club put in a new overhead garage door for the shop classes. . Clubs share profits from the concession stands for volleyball, basketball and wres- tling to raise money. Some clubs sponsor dances, too. AFS and FLC sponsored Win- terwarming, while Student Council spon- sored a hot dog-eating contest and pro- CLUBS bably the biggest project of their year, they held a tMr. R-Pi contest in which pro- ceeds went to John Wesley McCubbin, a Harrisonville infant who needs a liver transplant. The majority of clubs sell T-shirts, can- dy, buttons and posters, but occasionally a club comes up with a new idea, such as DECA's second annual Scavenger Hunt, held in the spring. Money from fundraisers are used for contest expenses and for many scholar- ships. Surveys show that students who partici- pate in extra-curricular activities have higher grade point averages. Those stu- dents who icaught the spirit' of partici- pation enjoyed fringe benefits such as piz- za. pool parties and concerts. 115 dance.

Student CounciFs main goal this year was to try to raise school spirit. Last sum- mer the four officers; Michell Cox, Amy Files,, Susan Hakes and, Angie Martin, at- tended the Missouri Association of Student CounciPs seven-day camp in Fulton, Mis- souri. There, the girls met different people from around the state and got new ideas and input on how to solve problems and raise spirit in their school. Also held last summer at the Silver Lake Clubhouse was a workshop for' the council members to help them get organized and ready for the new year. They sponsored the Beach Blowout Dance and the Snowball Dance, put on a Lip Sync in February and sold message balloons at Homecoming and computer match-ups Valentinels Week. They also challenged Harrisonville to a eating con- test at half-time of the home girls varisty basketball game against Harrisonville and unfortunately lost; proving that Harrison- ville students are bigger pigs. Besides all the spirit raisers, the council worked on community projects such as getting petitions filled out by students op- posing the proposed sanitary landfill and presenting them at the hearing for the landfill at the Cass County Courthouse in Harrisonville. They also sponsored a Com- munity Blood Drive in the gym in Novem- ber and ran a canned food drive in Decem- ber. The council also attended the District Workshop in Warrensburg and was elected District Vice President in November. In March, Michell Cox, Amy Files, Angie Martin and Janell Armstrong traveled to St. Louis for the State Conference at Park- way-South High School. The conference lasted for three days and the girls attended workshops and assemblies for new ideas.

V awhp Busy year National Honor Society has kept busy this year with their induction ceremony, candy sales, tutoring program and the honor breakfast. The induction ceremony was held Sep- tember 20, at the Raymore Methodist Church. Around 25 people were inducted, however, before they could be inducted they had to meet the main standards of NHS. The standards are: an 8.5 cumula- tive GPA, scholarship, leadership, service and character. The ceremony went smoothly and the guest speaker was Mrs. Winifred Fulk, who used to be a math teacher at R-P. She talked about her ex- periences with heart and lung transplants, and about donating organs. Another activity NHS was involved in was candy sales to raise money for schol- arships. They sold candy bars for a dollar a piece and made $900. NHS was also involved in a tutoring pro- . i Mrs. Mary Dobson speaks to the nve NHS officers at the induction cere- mony.

NHS students tutor students at the students, homes after school or on week- ends for $4 an hour and the tutors keep the money they earn. Unfortunately, the program has gone rather slow because of lack of sign-ups from NHS members and lack of publicity to students needing help. NHS students mostly tutored in reading and math. One other main activity that NHS spon- sored was the honor breakfast for students who have made the honor roll the first three quarters of the year. This is when honor students pick up honor pins and their lamp of learning. Mrs. Georgann Metheny commented, uNHS members are in this organization because of their leadership and involve- ment in other activities, plus grades.

Searching for what the future Future Homemakers of America is an- other tfuturel type club. In a nutshell, FHA does community projects for the elderly, mainly at Foxwood Springs and fund- raisers for the home ec. department. HOWever, thatts not all, FHA often joins with other clubs to contribute to the schoolls basic appearance. ttThe under- classmen have a lot of enthusiasm and good ideas for FHA, and I believe I have a very good group of officers to work withfl said Marilyn Benbow, FHA sponsor. There is only one requirement for stu- dents who want to join FHA. They must be enrolled or already completed a home ec. class. Fundraisers, luncheons, community projects for the elderly...activites galore is what Future Homemakers of America was all about. Donna Hyatt. Cindy Tiller and Renee Everett sort carnations on Valentine's Day. During December, two activites were held. A Christmas faculty luncheon was held involving many students who stayed after school on their own time. During Christmas, FHA members vis- ited Foxwood Springs in the Raymore area. To enhance the elderly's Christmas season, they brought fruit baskets and went caroling throughout the area. Both Art Club and FHA teamed up to plan Valentinets Week from February 10-14. Candy grams, carnations, donuts; corsages and boutonnieres for teachers were the fund-raisers for the year. Spirit Week was a major involvement also, with days consisting of Dress-Up Day, Red, Pink and White Day, Donut Day, Blackl White and Gold Day and Hat Day. , FHA ventured to Worlds of Fun. The club funds paid a percentage of their one- holds day pass. e Club officers for the year were presi- dent, Sherry WilsOn;' vice president, Dala Childress; secretary, Troy Hackett and treasurer, Krissy Spooner. Hlt was a successful year. They enjoyed doing projects for faculty appreciationf' said sponsor Marilyn Benbow.

Clubs with a foreign flair This year has been a very active year for the American Field Service Club, other- wise known as AFS. The year started with the arrival of two exchange students. Fabian Amtenbrink, from West Germa- ny, was active in track and cross-country and went to state and helped the boys to a second place victory. Sharyn Bray, from Australia, was very active in AFS, forensics, participated in the mock wedding and helped with the school play, ,tThe Curious Savage. AFS also hosted several get-togethers for club members such as pizza parties, going out on the Plaza and swim parties at the Pleasant Hill Pool. However, one of the biggest projects 01' AFS was co-hosting the Winterwarming Dance with the Foreign Language Club. Club president, Christy York, commented, nThe dance was successful and it looked like everyone had a lot of fun once the band got playing? They hired a live band called ttAmnes- tyft and the dance theme was, ttAs Long As We Believe. It was held after the boys last home varsity game against OiHara. Foreign Language Club participated in Foreign Language Week and field trips. In December they visited the Guadalupe Center, a day care center for children. They brought gifts and candy for the chil- dren and all who participated found it an enjoyable experience. FLC president, Debbie Neidlinger, commented, tiltis real- ly a neat experience to go and give under privileged children a party and Christmas presents.

Striving to preserve life Red Cross Club under the direction of Sandra Guffy has 31 members. President of the club is Donna Wilson, vice president is Missy Pennington, secretary is Tracy Follett, treasurer is Tammy Tiller and Stu-Co representative is Suzie Bloodworth. The a club had a very successful year. They began the year by filling disaster bags with pencils, soap, washclothes, toothbrushes, fun pads and crayons for the American Red Cross. In J anuary, they took new and used toys to Children,s Mercy Hospital. In February, they helped the immuniza- tion clinic by giving shots to the students that needed them. In April, they sponsored a CPR class and a bloodmobile. Although they didnit collect as many pints of blood as in previous years, they did get 85 pints. J unior, Missy Pennington and vice presi- dent of the Red Cross Club said, NI think the disaster bags was the best project we did this year? While the Red Cross Club was busy col- , lecting blood for the community, Ray-Peds SADD chapter was trying to diminish the need for blood. Ray-Pecis SADD chapter has approxi- mately 75 members. The chairperson is senior, Sonia Mansfield, co-chairperson is junior, Mary OiNeil, junior representative is Kathy Groh, sophomore representative is Tracy Giammatteo and freshman repre- sentative is Melanie Richter. In February, during SADD WEEK, the club sponsored a movie, Kevin,s Story and gave out bubble gum with the SADD logo on it. To help raise money for the club, mem- bers worked in concession stands through- out the year. With the money they raised, they gave SADD keychains to the students enrolled in Drivers Ed. , In April, they worked along with the jun- ior class to warn people about driving drunk on Prom night. A logo, designed by art teacher J .J . Higgins was printed by the Cass County Publishing Co. and then given to local florists to put inside of the corsage and boutonniere boxes. At the end of the school year, the club sponsored an essay contest along with the Raymore Lions Club. The theme of the es- a say was itReal friends donit let friends drive drunk. First prize was $50 and a plaque, second prize was $25 and a plaque and third prize was $15 and a plaque. RED CROSS, x bk xx WWW x ' R m . W ' ' a Eek ix xsxx .x mm X vs: rxx .?

A Deadlines are a way of life Journalism and publications are two classes that take a lot of hard work, devo- tion, overtime and dedication. It's a group of people working together toward one goal. In journalism, it's like one big family. All the anger, frustration and lots of laughter come out in this class. A person has to almost enjoy getting picked on and yelled at for not meeting deadlines, but it's all worth it in the end. We all will remember Jeff Stohrls col- umn for years to come and maybe by then well get over the shock of it! !! The Pan- Looking disgusted, Eric Braun and Robert Beard help in the develop- ment of pictures for publications. ther Times adviser, J ulia Shippy, deserves a lot of the credit for making tor shall we say forcingi the Times reporters to meet their deadlines. As for publications, people may sign up for this class, thinking itlll be easy or just another blow-off class, but actually its lots of hard work and sometimes complete frustration. It's making the pictures fit on the page, finding just the right picture for the layout, satisfying the students and making it a yearbook to help make the memories of high school well-I'emem- bered. Mike Loving and Jeff Stohr some- times work on the paper staff. Kristun Ament and Trisha Miller concentrates on a senior layout for the yearbook. WWKV Max Reinhardt massages Mrs. Ship- pys tense shoulders after aXhan-d day of trying to meet deadlines. Passing out school pictures, Stacey Pedigo, Trisha Miller and Kristan Ament help out during lunch. ctivities for the creative type Drama Club had a full year with the presentation of two plays, the musical ttTrixie True, Teen Detective? and the comedy, ttThe Curious Savage? A new system of casting was tried, the double- casting system for ttThe Curious Savagef so twice as many students could get in volved. ' Drama Club became affiliated with the International Thespian Society, an inter- national honor society for top high school drama students. After a week of initiation activities, during which the students proved their dedication to the theatre, 21 drama students became charter members of Thespians. Several field trips were taken. On April 10 they went to see To Kill a Mockingbirdh and April 23 saw ttFan- tasticks. Special Drama Club Awards were given to: best cameo actor, John Beyers; best cameo actress, Sherrie Goodwin; best sup- porting actor, Rob Kottenbrock; and best supporting actress, Sandra Aftos. Many other awards were given at the Awards Banquet, April 21. Forensics, an out-of-school activity, at- tended District, State and many other 10- cal tournaments.

IAC sold brass and used the profit to install a garage door in the shop as well as buy extra equipment for the shop. A softball tournament was scheduled for late May by sponsors, Dave Arnall and Boyd Erickson. While IAC promoted the industrial arts department, Art Club is designed for stu- dents who enjoy art. Creativity ventured through the halls once again at Christmas- time as Art Club members painted class- room windows. Due to an early ice storm, painting was delayed three days while school was dismissed. Art Club members under the direction of Mrs. J eannine Akins, sold flowers and can- dy grams during Valentine,s week. Each teachers was given a corsage or bouton- . f niere. Art Club students also helped pres- ent the annual Art Show on May 12. Youth Advisory Council tYACi is one of the smaller clubs. They are known throughout the school because about four times a year, lunch is prepared by the members. YAC members prepare every- thing from hamburgers to turkey-cheese roll-ups.

HSome students stay in the classroom and listen to us and I think thafs neat. They are not actively partici- pating, but they are listening, said Shara Clevenger. There is a prayer meeting each morning. At least 20 members show up to each meeting. Sometimes there is an alter- native activity for after football , games and other things. FCA combines the benefits of Varsity Club and Bible Club bringing athletes to- gether for fellowship. In FCA, athletes discuss their concerns, doubts, feelings and their faith. It is spon- sored by A1 Klein and James Merrill. FCA helped sponsor the Food for Families drive at Christmas.

They played in the American Royal Pa- rade and also the GSA United Way Kickoff girtllgslinsszwa: the baton twirler for Campaign. an season. They played at all Of the home football games upon the bleachers and did many half-time shows. Their last one was a special one. The lights inside the football stadium were turned off and the members danced with lights and marched into dif- ferent formations. Besides trying to make this year a suc- cess, they worked hai'd to make next year even better. They had the annual chili supper to raise money for 'new instruments and music. The elementaries and junior high schools also participated in this fundraiser. Members also sold cheese, sausage, wrapping paper and Christmas ornaments to raise money for new band uniforms for next year; they also sponsored a Panther Paws dance after the basketball game against Belton on January 3rd. Mr. Thompson will not be conducting the band next year. But hopefully the band will not let this stop them from having another suecessful year.

The concert band has concerts through- out the year and every year along with many other schools from different parts of Missouri they participate in a contest at Warrensburg. They perform in front of judges and they receive ratings on how good their performance was. The schools receiving one ratings then go to the state competition. Different members of the band took solos and ensembles to contest also. Jazz band is an extra class that band members may participate in. In this class, members played popular songs mostly for fun and their own enjoyment.

They played at basketball games and they helped promote spirit and kept the fans pepped up. The Freshman Band had a lot of mem- bers with potential this year. As freshmen, they were eager to learn. , -' Members were not allowed to partici- pate in Marching Band, but they were busy during the year learning new skills and trying to improve their accuracy and ar- ticulation and to play well together as a band and have a good balance, so that they would be prepared to play in the higher levels of band their sophomore year. Every year, players that have played well are selected to attend music camp. At camp, they meet a lot of new people and are introduced to different styles of music and learn new things that will help them to be better players in the future. 472x 7:13 AND ?;f , .

Senior athletes received a wide variety of honors and scholarships due in part to the diligent efforts of coaches and statisti- cians who kept stats and video tapestof games.

They were the first squad to ever perform at a wrestling meet along with performing at pep assemblies and football, volleyball and boys and girls basketball games. They also marched in the American Royal Parade, Peculiar E Bushwhacker Days and at the Raymore , Homecoming. The squad was very close and did many things together besides just performing. They had slumber parties, went out to eat pizza several times and went to camp for four days in Emporia, Kan. They brought back two trophies, a spirit stick and 24 rib- bons from camp.

Many people forget that cheerleaders even exist; they often receive little or no support. The 1985-86 girls basketball, boys basket- ball and wrestling cheerleaders had a very successful season. Every team had win- ning records and many awards were cap- tured during summer camp. Much time was spent throughout the year to support the athletic teams. Cheer- leaders stayed after school for hours at a time to paint posters, decorate lockers and make banners. Girls basketball, Row 1: Tammy Brodrick, Jackie Michael. Row 2: Kim Dustin, Cris Allen.

Prior to the season, teammates expected Chris to be the number two run- ner. Chris died of an aneurysm before the season could begin, leaving a large void in the teams depth. The team showed its respect to Chris by dedicating the season to his memory. They showed this publicly by wearing black armbands at every meet. ttAt the beginning of the season when Chris DeLuca died. I wasnt too optimistic about our chances to get the team through District to State. But because of their will- ingness to work hard and good attitudes we really excelled, and I am very proud of these kids. Coach Al Klein said. Sophomores Warren Spills and Scott Woodward worked hard to fill the empty space and keep up with senior John Lucas. Season dedicated to DeLuca The boys had a successful season and ended it by capturing second place at the State Meet in Jefferson City, and for the f if th consecutive year placed in the top f ive at State. The team will lose five seniors; John Lucas, David Cobb, Fabian Amtenbrink, Mike Ruth and Scott Smith. Lucas, a four-year letterman. was the lead runner for the team. He competed at State four times, made All-Conference and All-District three times, and All-State once. Cobb, fourth man on the team. was a very consistent runner and competed at State twice. Amtenbrink, a foreign exchange student from Germany, ran sixth for the team and competed at State. The fifth man on the team, junior Clint Grimes, did well anchoring the team in his first year running. He will be the only re- turning senior next year. ,N W mlmwvi , s xit FRONT ROW-Lance Scott, Ty Erickson, captain John Lucas, Scott Woodward.

They worked hard this year running in heat, rain, and cold for two hours after school every night. The girls ran 245 miles, averaging 25 miles per week, including 32.2 miles in competition. With five senior girls, an All-State freshman returning, an excellent fresh- man runner and a strong junior runner, we thought we could qualify the team for the State Meet? said Coach John Ingram. uWe had to finish in the top three at the District Meet and we finished fourth miss- ing third by ten points? The team had six seniors; Amy Whit- aker, Susan Hakes, Melisa Richter, Kris- tan Ament, Julie Ferguson, and part-time runner Christy York. Whitaker, team captain, received a four- year letter and was the first female runner to attend the State Meet her sophomore, year. She earned All-Conference honors three times and All-District honors once. Hakes, a two year letterperson, ran fourth and fifth for the team. Richter, the teams co-captain and also a two year letterperson, was slowed down by a knee injury, but worked hard to over- come it. Ament, a tw0;year runner, was the main morale booster on the team. Coach Al Klein remarked, ttKristan was always pleasant and fun to work with, and she made the bus rides interesting. She wasntt the fastest runner, but she was always cheerf . Ferguson and York did not compete in many meets; Ferguson, because of health reasons and York because of obligations to the pompon squad, but they both contrib- uted much to the team effort. The two main runners this year were sophomore, Janelle Armstrong and fresh- man, Teresa Neidlinger. Armstrong, chosen most valuable run- ner, ran first for the team and earned All- Conference and All-District, but missed All-State. Two-hundred yards before the finish line, she was in the top 15, but she collapsed and placed 28th. Neidlinger, who received a special achievement award, ran second, made All- Conference, All-District and All-State by placing 15th at the State Meet. Junior Angie Martin, a two-year letter- person, was chosen best hustle and dedica- tion and most improved. The team started off well and hit a mid- .season slump, right after the St. Joseph meet. The slump was a combination of in- ljuries, colds and outside activities. The squad recovered and worked as a close- knit team, even though at times they dis- agreed. They came back to take third in Conference and fourth in District out of 18 teams. It was a season with its peaks and val- leys, however, the team earned the best win-loss ratio to date.

L 161 An outstanding season Varsity girls played a very successful season. Dana Sutcliffe and Teresa Gaston replied, ttWe accomplished more than any other team has in the past because we all worked together, mainly its because of our good coach? J ulie Dean said, ttWe had a good season, but we could have done bet- ter than we did? During the season they won two trophies, placing a first and a third. Win- ning first in the Winnetonka Tournament was their most outstanding achievement. In that tournament they played Blue Spr- ings, winning 15-11, 15-7; Park Hill 15-4, 15-9 and Excelsior Springs, winning 15-11, 15-7. Their 3rd place trophy was won at Belton Tourney. For an entire season Dana Sutcliffe fin- ished with the most number of serves, Ericka Storms with the best hitting per- cent, J ulie Dean with the most number of blocks and Michelle Cox with the best in- dividual setting percent. They finished the season with a 16-9-2 overall record. Front row: Michelle Cox, Teresa Gaston, Trisha Houchen.

A Surviving Season Although they-started off on the wrong foot, they ended up with a bang. The junior varsity volleyball team ended the season with a 5-8 record. But records don,t always tell the whole story. First year coach, Mrs. Shelly Wright had ups and downs throughout the season, but good things can always be found. Some outstanding players through the year were Teresa Wright, server and spiker; Lisa Tolin, setter and captain; and Cheryl Dobson who moved ,up from the freshmen team as a setter, as well as J ackie Lenz. Lisa Tolin and Kristi Schoen- ing were moved to varsity team during dis- tricts. Encouraging moments for the team in- cluded its win over Sedalia 15-0 and 15-4, along with beating Harrisonville and War- rensburg twice each. The season was a great learning experience for the girls as well as a fun one. Freshmen player, Lori Custer said, ttWe did real well.

The Panthers, highlight of the season was saved for the last game against St. Pius X. Going into the fourth quarter, St. Pius led 20-0, but four minutes were all the Pan- thers needed to score 21 points to cap off a 5-5 season record. The 18 seniors rallied as Blackwell scored twice, once on a one-yard run and once on a 40-yard pass. Then with five sec- onds to go, quarterback Tommy Kruse rolled right and as the time expired, the ball sailed through the air into the sure hands of J ack Pickren in the end zone to tie the game at 20. Then sophomore, Steve Senior runningback, Brad Blackwell tam rune sweep right for a big yard- age agaust Harrisonville during a 26-15 loss.

Lininger stepped onto the fier to kick the extra point to show the Panther Pride on a come from behind victory. ,0 The team had looked forward to a strong V season, but injuries didn,t help matters as senior J eff Pugh had knee surgery follow- ing the Sedalia game. Other injuries in- cluded Lee McClain, junior lineman; Fred 0 Slaughter,' senior receiver and quarter- back Tommy Kruse, senior, just to name a few.

JV's biggest win was against Warrens- burg 36-6 in a mud-bowl game. ttThe most outstanding players are the whole team? said Mr. James Merrell. A sophomore program was developed so sophomores could get more playing time by themsel'ves as well as playing in JV games. The sophomores only played two games, but the program is expected to grow. They had a 1-1 overall record. Andy Shaffer was the outstanding offensive player and Hank Ellis was the outstanding defensive play- er. The f reshmen started of f the season with a 6-0 loss to Belton. They later made up for it ending the season with a 4-3 record and tying one game to Grandview East with a score of 0-0. Freshmen's biggest win was against Warrensburg 8-0. The Tigers were undefeated until R-P arrived and played a great game in the mud. $Tys oggeeAgn- V7 ......

Panthers claim district title as Warrensburg bites the dust? That headline reflected the fans excitement as R-P won the exciting district game 50-48. During the boys varsity season, many goals had been met including sharing a conference co-championship and then coming back to that same team in the dis- trict finals at Harrisonville. The Panthers posted a season record of 20-8, their best record in over 10 years. Coaches Bill Lenz and Kelley Smith worked hard to build the talents of their players and as win after win was posted, they often smiled like the proud fathers of their team members. The season started out right and set the tone for future victories as R-P defeated St. Marys in the opening game by a score of 58-48. More wins followed and soon the team was competing with the girls basketball team to see how many games they could go without being defeated. Another season highlight was winning the first Ray-Pec basketball tournament. The Panthers first beat Nevadais Tigers then fell to Liberty, but R-P came back to defeat Belton in the final game of the round-robin tourney. Many other games became memorable because of tedge-of-the-seatt action the Panthers provided for their fans. Games were often won within a minute before the final buzzer sounded and in the state quar- ter-finals, R-P lost to the Marshall Owls with a no-second left field goal, losing in the same way they had claimed many vic- tories. The seniors of the team savored each and every victory and came together to put the pressure on their opponents. Cap- tains George Farrill and Mike Graves led seniors Tommy Kruse, Ed Lamkin, Jeff Stohr and Wayne Thomason to the best career of their seasons together. Although the Panthers dropped to third , place in both the Belton and Pleasant Hill tournaments, the many successes'of the ,85386 season wonit soon be forgotten. Not by the fans, not by the team, and es- pecially...not by the seniors. VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM e Row 1: Mike West, Lee Watts, Mark Copeland. Troy Grampsas, Todd Spalding. Doug Klein.

Although the girls team didntt do as well as they had hoped, they were able to be a part of a city-ranked team, while the boys watched their older friends capture a dis- trict title tin which many of them had helped to wini. J V girls ended their season 5-10. It was a tough season for the girls, but they put in tremendous effort and a lot of 'hard work as the season continued. Their efforts im- proved and they really showed that at the end of the season. The JV boys ended their season 15-1. This is the best season ever for JV at Bay- Pec.

Varsity earns way to final f our Whether its the anticipation of the end of school or just a serious case of spring fe- ver, spring sports at R-P have always been both popular and successful. Varsity base- ball has been the most successful team R-P has produced to date. As state champs in T85 and state contend- ers in T86, the baseball program has grown considerably since its beginnings in 1977. With Brad Blackwell, David Crabtree, Shawn Crabtree, Paul Fleming, Tom Kruse, Jack Pickren and Wayne Thoma- son returning from a successful champion- ship season, they provided the abilities and leadership that their less-experienced teammates could look up to. Despite a shaky start, the team jelled under Coach Joe Hunter, after former Coach Russ Foster resigned in mid-sea- son. After Hunter took over, the team took off winning game after game and qualifying for the State Playoffs after winning the District Tournament in Clinton. , The first game on the road to Columbia was at Maryville, where the Panthers came home with a 100 victory. It was a hot, humid Saturday afternoon game at Peculiar Park against the undefeated El Dorado Springs Bulldogs. The Panthers ended the Bulldogs, season at 18-1. On to the final four. A later date for the State Tournament pushed the finals into the first weekend of J une. Thursday was a hot day with temperatures in the high 805. On Friday morning, the Panthers were de- feated 2-0 under a cloudy sky that threat- ened rain. The consolation game was set for Saturday, but rain forced cancellation of the game against Helias of Jefferson City. The Panthers failed to repeat as state champs, but they finished in the final four and played in the State Tournament. That in itself can label the season as successful.

State Junior Mike West runs in a track finisl meet. the It A ;-Q- Depth brings win after win The varsity boys track team worked hard at pulling themselves together as a team and making a respectable showing at Conference, District, Sectionals, State and the Ray-Pec Invitational. For the first time ever, the boys won the 3 ; ; Ray-Pec Invitational Track and Field Meet by defeating seven other strong area teams with a total of 170 points. Sopho- more, Lee Watts, placed first in the long jump and second in the 110-meter high hur- dles and 300-meter low hurdles. John Lu- cas placed second in the mile and third in the two-mile, and Fred Slaughter placed second in the pole vault. Brad Blackwell, varsity baseball player and varsity track member, placed first in the 200-yard dash and Jeff Pendergraft got second in the 440. Coach Arnall summed up the meet as tta ! 4 total team effort by all the guys. We came out and for the first time this year, we looked like a team? The boys then went on to Conference by placing fourth with 15 team members I I ..s..-..a ...m........k,v achieving their personal best times and distances. After Conference, the boys ran on to the District meet held in Warrensburg, where they placed fifth. Lee Watts highlighted the meet with a triple jump that is believed to be the best in the Kansas City area this season when he went 44 feet, 11V2 inches. He also won the long jump and ran on two relay teams that advanced to Sectionals. The 1600-meter relay team placed second and the 800arelay team placed third. Brad Blackwell placed second in the 400-meters, Clint Grimes was fourth in the 800 and John Lucas was fourth in the mile. All in all, the boys advanced to the Sectional lev- el in seven events. At the Sectional meet, Watts qualified for state by placing first in the triple jump, John Lucas qualified in the two-mile and ; Brad Blackwell qualified in the 400. The ;; 880 relay team and the 1600-relay team al- 4; so qualified for State. g: f The boys then travelled to the State meet 43 in Jefferson City. There, Lee Watts blew the competition away by becoming the ;; State champ in the triple jump. Also, the ' 4 1600 relay team respectably placed sixth. ; Overall, the boys had a good season, and ,4 l .. 4 proved that Ray-Pec track and field only improves with age. me XV John Lucas runs the 2-mile at the District Track Meet in Warrens 192 burg. wk State TripleJump Champ Lee Watts t finished a successful long jump at the Mules Relays.

One was winning the annual Ray-Pec Invitational for the first time. The girls came in first over nine teams with 107 points. Sandy Cummings set a rec- ord in the 200-meter dash, won the long jump, the 100-meter dash and the 440 yard dash. Julie Dean, Angela Bradford, Amy Files and Christy York all set personal bests in their respective events. Janell Armstrong got first in the half-mile and fourth in the long jump; Michelle LaPlant in the half-mile and Teresa Neidlinger third in the two-mile. Another highlight was placing second in the West-Central Conference behind Harri- sonville. Sixteen of the girls had their per- sonal best times or distances and under- class girls scored 50 of the teams 70 points. iFWe can look to the futurej, Coach Arnall said. The next highlight was winning the 13-school Missouri Class 3A District Meet Monday, May 19, at Warrensburg with Sandy Cummings leading the Panthers in 10 events into the State Sectional meet. Cummings won the 100-meter and the 400-meter and placed second in the 200-meter and the long jump. Sophomore Janell Armstrong won the 800-meter and ran on three relay teams that advanced. The 3200 relay team and the 800 relay team both placed third and the 1600 relay team placed fourth. Teresa Neidlinger placed second in the 1600-meter arid the 3200-meter. The girls then went on to the Sectionals, which were held at Raytown South High School. There, Cummings qualified for the State meet in the 100, 200, 400 and the long jump; Armstrong in the 800 and Neidlinger in the 1600. At the State meet, Armstrong placed third in the 800-meter run and Neidlinger placed sixth in the 1600-meter run. 0n the first day of competition, Cummings quali- fied for the finals in all her events, but the next day she pulled a muscle and fell in her first event, the 100-meter dash. She wasnit able to compete in the rest of her events because of this injury. All in all, the girls had one of their best seasons in a long time, and proved that Ray-Pec cannot be left in the dust. Junior Amy Files pushes herself to finish the last two laps. Teresa Neidlinger is the leader of the pack at track meet. Girls track team; front row: Jackie Lenz. Kristy Sims, Janell Arm- strong.

The 186 Panther was printed by J ostents American Publishing Company in Topeka, Kansas. The books format was 8V2 by 11 Inches with 212 pages on gloss paper. A to- tal of 600 books were ordered and the edi- 3 tors and staff designed and set up the cov- er photo. A 4-color process photo was used. One signature-was done in special paper for the 2Mini Magt, section and one flat of full color was used in the opening section. Underclass photos were taken by Bald- win Studios, Springfield, Mo., and group pictures and most senior photos were done by Rollands Studios, Raytown, M0. The publications class completed the- yearbook by total paste-up. An Adler 1030 typewriter was used for names in the tPeo- Dlei section while Cass County Publishing Company in Harrisonville, Mo. printed all .$WWWMW body and caption copy. Body copy was 8 pt. and caption copy was set 6 pt. Oversize layout sheets were used in the People sec- tion with copy done in 12 pt. All headlines were made with the schools own strip-printer. Pictures were ordered by staff members and then printed to size by photographers. Pictures are then pasted down along with copy, headlines and captions. Special thanks go to Photography I stu- dents and to the ladies at Cass County Pub- lishing who helped immensely in creating this book.

The new year brought changes including an increase in school pride and the often inconvenient construction of a new wing. But students, adjusted to the changes and vowed to make 1986 the best year ever...and indeed they did. The new school year first brought a come-from-behind football team to recog- nition after defeating St. Pius X, 21-20 in the final game. Girls volleyball continued to claim tournament titles and was second in the district While cross-country walked away with a second place state finish. Homecoming ,85 was a night not soon to be forgotten. Although the football team didnlt win, students felt relieved to have even played a game tsince the originally scheduled St. Marys Trojans cancelled due to several ineligible playersl. The dance uLove Will Find a Way, topped off an enjoyable evening. R-P,s Student Council was elected vice president of the district, while teams from FBLA, DECA and the forensics squad con- tinued to bring home more and more tro- phies. NFL and Thespian chapters were also started by the drama department. The winter sports season saw both bas- ketball teams reign as district champs, while spring sports brought a large track team, golf team, baseball and softball teams. Seniors consistently won the pep asseni- I bly chant competition tbeing defeated only once by the juniorsl, even though they had the smallest class count. tOnce again proving that the Class of 86 has the biggest mouthsl! . Once fourth quarter hit - senioritis struck fast. First came Senior Apprecia- tion Week, announcement of the superla- tives, the Prom, Fantasy, then the Mr. R-P contest, Senior Skip Day, baccalaureate and finally - last but not least -graduation. It seemed that this year ended as soon as it began. But now, the year is just a memo- ry of all the great times. We hope the 86 Panther will fit the pieces together for you. This book was put together with a lot of love. It was made for both our friends and ourselves because we never want to forget the best things about being in high school - we never want to forget about tcatching the spiritKJBG style.
