R Dick Gerald Leonard-Principal “As the beginning of school approached, we were anxious and full of hope for what the year would bring. And as it all came to a close, we were glad but yet somewhat sad. Many experiences gave us the opportu- nity to develop to our fullest potential. As we look through this yearbook, we can recall those times we spent inside our halls of learning that made us happy, sad. and just plain proud that we were apart of RVHS. You, the students and faculty of RVHS. can take great pride in a year that only you could have provided. I hope that you can take what you have learned here and use it many times. I thank you for all your contri- butions and hope that what you have encountered this year will serve you well. BOARD OF EDUCATION: (L-R) Back Row - Myron Stithem. Milton Kelly, Jim Kent.

Fred Staker Superintendent “The year 1980 signals the beginning of a new decade, a decade that promises many problems, challenges, and rewards. Today's students will be called upon to solve problems never faced before in the history of mankind. With the solution of each problem, however, will come the satisfaction of knowing that man, with the help of God, can prosper and make this world a better place in which to live. RVHS needs to provide the opportunity for each student to make the most of his talents and abilities. It is the responsibility of you. the stu- dent. to accept the challenge and make the maxi- mum use of the opportunities provided and devel- op your potential to its fullest extent. To the graduating seniors and all students ol Royal Valley. I extend best wishes for success in all that you undertake. May the I980 s be a dec- ade filled with many achievements for you and your families.

Even though being a freshman means initiation or having to wait at the end of the lunch line before they can eat, freshmen are the only class who exper- ience the excitement of new surroundings in a new school. During the 1979-80 school year, the freshmen purchased class shirts and sponsored a dance for a class project. 37 T. Troxcl dressed as the Royal Valley panther mascot W.

A few extra meets were scheduled so we could split the varsity runners by using two or three junior varsity people in varsity races. This gave those junior varsity people valuable experience.” The boys became league champs for the second year in a row. “The classification change to a 4A really hurt us in our regionals,” Coach Cannon said. “The top two teams in 4A. Abilene and Wamego, were in our regionals.” He also added, “It was good to see the younger runners mature and improve week-by- week. Some seniors, who had never run Cross Country before, helped provide leadership.

Slow dancing is a favorite at Royal Valley. Dancers were required to lake off their shoes on the refinished floor. Always And Forever On a cold and breezy night, the Royal Valley Panthers were lead- ing the Valley Falls Dragons dur- ing halftime of the football game. The homecoming ceremonies were about to start. The crowd waited patiently for the special moment when Scott Webb was crowned king and Kris Figgs was crowned queen. Their attendants were: Allison Chance, Mark Adame, Cathy Montgomery, and Rick Kern. The crown bearers were Eddie Johnson and Amy Salts, both of Mayetta. Reigning Queen, Janet Beat, presented flowers to Kris. The Panthers went on to beat the Dragons 26 to 12. After the victory over the Dragons, everyone was invited to attend the homecoming dance. D- Jays, Steve Phannestiels and Tom Sailors, from Manhattan rolled the records for RV and their guests. The night before homecoming, the cheerleaders organized a bon- fire at the Hoyt ball field to raise school spirits. Homecoming, Oc- tober 12, will be remembered for its theme “Always and Forever.” Amy Sails and Fddic Johnson wore the crown bear- Moments later, K. Figgs crowned S. ers at the Homecoming Ceremony.

Varsity Football The Panther football team can be remem- bered as a team which was exceptionally strong on defense. Under the leadership of returning coach, Jerry Simecka, the Panthers opened their season with a game against the Silver Lake Ea- gles. Overall, Coach Simecka thought the season was a success. He stated, “We played a different type of defense this season, but our offense was about the same.” The only weak point of the varsity football team was passing. With a lot of determination, the varsity players made up their weakness of passing by playing a hard tough defense. A great RV TOUCHDOWN!!!!

Football The key to the winning season for the JV football team was their defense. They finished the season with a 5 win and 2 loss record. The boys started the season with a loss to Silver Lake by one touchdown. They picked themselves back up and won the next two games by quite a margin. Coach Wall, happy about the season, stated, “This was probably the best team we’ve had. 1 was very pleased as a coach. I think that the team's strongest point this year was the defense. The JV players end- ed their season with a victory over Perry- Lecompton with a 21-12 score! The RV offense runs the ball up the center to gain some yards. J. Collins (10) gets in for a good tackle. Coach Wall analyzes the opponents defense. Freshmen Football The freshmen football team finished the season with 2 wins and 4 losses. The fresh- men opened the season September 6 against Effingham with the home field ad- vantage. After losing their first three games, the Panthers came back and won the next two games. They ended their sea- son with a close game of 6-8 with Ross- ville. Coach Wahlmeier stated, “It is always a great feeling when you see young people grow and mature through improvement.” Both coaches seemed to think the team's strongest point this year was unity. They also felt the team’s weakest point was the number of players the team had. When the freshmen coaches, Wahlmeier and Craw- ford, were asked how they felt about the season overall, they responded, “Each player was a leader and added a lot to the team. A Royal Valley player drags his opponents to gain more yards. Fall Play When advisors Carolyn DeGraw and Gayla Copeland got together to pick out a play, they were looking for one which was easy to present, easily put together, and had a small cast. That’s when they found “You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown, which is a two-act musical based on Charles Schultz's comic strip, “Pea- nuts.” The play was presented Friday, November 16 and Saturday. November 17, in the com- mons area of Royal Valley. Before Friday’s performance, the FHA prepared a dinner for those who came to see the play. “Being the first major production for Royal Valley, I felt that the cast portrayed the char- acters very well,” said Miss Copeland. The student directors were Chris Hood and Linda Waller. The make-up and costumes were done by Michelle Vawter. The lights were arranged by Mark Lay and Joel Wilder. The props were made by David Hill. The accompa- nists were Robert Bostrom and Gayla Cope- land. Also assisting the play were Brenda Cadue, Stella Montgomery, Mary Johnson, Semetha Rickel, and Marlene Nicol. “Linus”. T.

Coach Londerholm stat- ed. “The season overall was one of learning a new system. Once the players have learned how to play with more power, their reactions become quicker, and they become more confident and will play better. This past season was a phase that had to be exper- ienced before the team would reach its greatest po- tential.' Coach Londerholm thought it has helped Royal Valley prepare for better things to come in Volleyball. He added, “The way we finished, there is only one way to go, UP.” RV 1-1 Jeff West RV 10-2 Valley Falls !

Varsity Basketball The 1979-80 season was the best season that the varsity boys have had record-wise since 1974-75. Coach Cannon felt that the team's weakest point was at the guard positions and the strongest point was their rebounding. Coach Cannon stated. “This year we concentrated more on de- fense and held our opponents to 4.3 fewer points per game while we scored 5.0 points more per game on offense. He also stated. “A team’s defense can remain consistent game after game and offense on the other hand, is not always that dependable.” This season can be remembered as having several close games in which the Panthers lost eight games by ten points or less.

JV + Freshmen The J V team had a record of 7 wins and 7 losses which was an improvement over last year’s record. “Any season that breaks even with wins and losses has to be consid- ered a success,” stated Coach Fund. Consistency was the JV’s weakest point this season Confidence and consisten- cy go hand in hand: so as the season progressed, the JV gained confidence which helped the consistency of their game. The freshmen boys also had a good season. Ken Eck and Kent Wcge felt that their hardest game was against Perry because Perry had quickness. The team felt that they lacked consistency, but they were more disappoint- ed in the lack of support from the student body and the public. L-R Back Row: W. Fink. Coach Cannon. D. Figgs, DJ.

The coaches felt that the first part of the season started out pretty ragged because the girls had to learn new offensive and defensive plays. Also the girls had a disadvantage of not knowing what to expect from a new coach. Coach Hill thought that one of the brightest spots of the season came after Christmas when they started playing with a little intensity and unity. He also thought the weakest point was consistency and the strongest point was their team play. Mrs. Gish stated, “We played against a lot of tough teams in our league who had height, strength from their bench, and who had seniors that had played basketball together for four years.” Coach Hill stated, “We owe a great deal of thanks to our parents, school- mates, cheerleaders, and all those who gave us support throughout the sea- K.

I feel that it was a successful season. The girls gained experience and insight into their teammates and opponents and into the game itself.” The freshmen girls had a record of 15 wins and 2 losses. When Tammy Parrctt was asked her feelings about the 1979-80 season, she replied. “I had a lot of fun playing basketball this season and I think we had a good year.” Debbie Harter feels that the freshmen games should be announced over the intercom so the students of Royal Valley know when the freshmen are playing. What a lot of people didn't know about the freshmen girls basketball team, is that they had the best record that our school had this season.

Precious And Few Are The Moments The 1980 King and Queen of Courts will long be remembered because of the winter weather that caused the plans for the spe- cial event to be slightly altered. The basketball game against JCN, originally scheduled for Fri- day night, was postponed until the following Tuesday. The King and Queen of Courts were crowned at the dance on Saturday night rath- er than during the game. Tim Sales and Karen Barr were crowned as King and Queen Sat- urday, February 26, at the dance. The candidates were: Sandy Webb, Bill Grant, Jay Kasson, and Clarence Cochran. Each can- didate received a crown in re- memberance of the occasion. The crown bearers were: An- sha-ni Wabunsee, Mitchell Dreher, Christopher Sommers, Jennifer Dutt, Kim Springer, and Stephen Wilson. The game, which took place on Tuesday, February 19, ended in defeat for the Panther boys as the final score was 44-63.

Yearbook It takes teamwork to pul together a yearbook and the yearbook staff accomplished it. The stu- dents in the yearbook class have to be organizers, writers, artists, typists, page designers and even psychiatrists (to help with an occasional nervous breakdown)! The yearbook staff sold advertisements to area merchants at the beginning of the year to finance the publication of the book. The staff was particularly busy in May cover- ing prom, track meets, graduation etc. The stu- dents did this and met the end of the year dead- line with Josten's too. “This is one of the best staffs I have ever had, said Mrs. Blankenship. “We were very orga- nized.

The club earned 2450 points and only needed 1000 to get their award. Mrs. Blankenship said “You can tell by the points, that our club did a great deal of things.

Journalism The 1979-80 school year was the first year that the school newspaper was done in newsprint instead of mimeographed as in the previous years. Six students from the staff were chosen to go to Holton to put the paper together at the Hol- ton Recorder, a local newspaper. This process took place about once every three weeks. The staff was particularly busy, writing, typ- ing and reading copy during the week prior to the publication date. The students on the newspaper staff took a field trip to Alma early in the year. They toured two museums, a rock shop, and the cheese fac- tory. “The students have the opportunity to put the paper together and run a newspaper organiza- tion much the same way that the Holton Re- corder does,” said Mr. Cannon, the journalism 68 advisor.

FHA members were “kept on their toes’ by the very busy school year. The club had many projects to do and many goals to accomplish. Among the activities that the members helped with were the Homecoming and King and Queen of Courts dances, the dinner theater, and the speech tournament. Something new was added to the FHA agenda in the spring — a twelve-hour dance-a-thon. The club raised S536.85 for Cystic Fibrosis. About fifty RVHS Students participated in the event. The offices in the club were somewhat altered for this year. The office of “songlcadcr” changed to “recreation leader.” and a points chairman was added to the list of officers. D.

Upward Bound “Upward Bound is an experience in life, said Julie Whitcomb, one of the eight Upward Bound stu- dents. Upward Bound is a federally funded program specifically geared towards Soph.. Jr., and Sr. The stu- dents met after school once a week where tutoring and counseling were provided if needed. One Saturday a month was spent at HCJC. Saturday Sessions, as they arc called, are designed to teach the students the academic skills needed to help them in school and college. Weekend workshops were given in Kansas City. During these workshops, students got a taste of life in the big city along with learning about careers and culture. During the summer, students spent six weeks at ESU taking classes and earning credit for some of them. To better accommodate the dif- ferent types of students in the pro- gram. the whole inside structure is being changed. This should allow many more different types of stu- dents in the program, the whole in- side structure is being changed. This should allow many more dif- ferent types of students to partici- pate.

For a money making project, the club operat- ed the popcorn machine at the basketball games. Some of the members attended a football game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Pittsburgh Steelers towards the beginning of the year. At the end of the year the club sponsored a frisbee contest. The frisbee contest was a new and successful project which consisted of three different catagories in which students could en- ter - distance, accuracy, and throw and catch. L. Hale M.

Zwcifcl with a difficult arrangement “I felt that the best thing would be to keep things the way they were,” said Mr. Weidner. the new band director. There were a few minor changes made but nothing very noticeable.” The year began with the band marching at the half-time of the football games, the Hutchinson Fair. K-State. and in local parades. During the winter, the band prepared for contests and the Christmas concert. They received a “1” rating at League and a “2” rating at State. Wes Schreiber, Laurie Curtis, and Angie Greemore achieved I” ratings on their solos at State. Most members felt the “Spring Fling” concert in May was their best concert. They liked the way they played and. the selection of songs included. The band especially enjoyed playing “Espana” and the “Walbash Cannon- ball”. 4ih row: K Figgs. J. Hood. 8. F.verhart. K. Kalcik.C.

The 4th nine weeks, the R V Players experimented with children’s theater. Their script was an original story called “The Green Fyed Dragon”. “Speech and drama did some really crazy things this year,” said Mrs. DeG raw. “like the creation of immortal characters such as Marlin Perkins and Jim, Frick and Frack. and then to more serious subjects like “Go Ask Alice” and “The Glass Menagerie”.

Wege smiles while singing ‘'Great Jubilation . Soundsations Eleven guys and 12 girls tried out for Soundsa- tions. Soundsations is a new name for Swing Choir. The name has pizazz and so did the group — from the music, to the way they danced and their director. They made their own outfits and Miss Copeland wrote a theme song. They practiced for their 13 performances through- out the year. They performed at the State Capitol. Silver Lake, at four banquets and a church event. Some of the highlights were the Fall, Winter and Spring Concerts. The music ranged from songs called “More than Music, Grease, and W'hcn Jesus W'ept . They wouldn't have made it without their accompa- nist T. Kern, mgr. K. Curran and occasionally drum player J. Hood. When not getting ready for performances, they saw who could be iggy (iggy is a person who did something ignorant). “The group was very close and worked together, said Miss Copeland “they im- proved greatly over the year . They earned a 1 at j League here at Royal Valley and a II at State in Emporia. 76 T. Kern plays the piano while K.

FFA The FFA brought back 10 trophies from 12 land, livestork, and dairy judging contests. The largest contest they attended was the State Livestock Judging Contest in Manhattan where around 95 teams participated. RV came in 5th. They also came in 5th in the State Land Judging Contest and 3rd in the State Dairy Contest where their previous high had been 7th out of 85 or 86 teams. Jerry Stithem was high individual in the State Dairy Judging meet and placed 6th in the State Live- stock Judging meet. When Dcrril Lovendahl was asked how the RV judg- ing teams consistently did so well, he said: “We learn about judging from Mr. Ryan's lectures. He's just a good teacher and knows what he is talking about. Jerry Stithem said “The Fort Scott meet was the most fun because it was overnight. We went out for supper, then went bowling, and judged the next day.” He also said that FFA improves leadership because of the speeches the members are required to give. Members get to meet people from all over the state and nation at the state and national conventions and at the American j Royal in Kansas City. Back Row L 77 Art Club New at R.V. is the Art Club sponsored by Rocky Fund. They hosted the 1st Annual Jefferson League Art Week on April 18. Val- ley Falls, Perry-Lecompton, Pleasant Ridge and Royal Valley displayed 240 pieces of art. R.V.H.S. won 16 of the 38 possible medals. Mr. Fund commented, We feel that art students should have a chace to show their talent and be recog- nized for outstanding achievements.” The club has a goal of im- proving school pride. They began a campaign to make a cleaner and brighter school by painting trash cans and placing them in strategic lo- cations around the school. Library Club One of the many new ad- ditions to Royal Valley for the 1979-80 school year was the formation of a Library Club. This club was in charge of the concession stand at home games during the bas- ketball season. The money earned was used to purchase books and get a book rack for the library. The Library Club wasn’t all work, however. On March 19, the members took an all-day field trip to Topeka. The club visited the Washburn library, the Yo- peka library, and took a tour of the Econo-Clad book bindery. “We had a good group of people. They were interest- ed in seeing more books in the library and were more willing to work for it. They were really enthusiastic,” said Mrs. Harvey, the spon- sor for the Library Club.

A Senior’s Perspective The year has come to a close but the memories will be like an open book that will never end. Our high school years arc like a volume of books, 1-4. Volume one is for the freshmen, for within this book is the era of a new beginning. It is a volume of the basic essentials. With this book, they can begin a life of long lived fun. But once again a year will come to a close and another book will be opened, which will just lead up to the next volume. When you reach the final volume it will be filled with many chapters upon which you will look back on the years of the past with tears in your eyes for you have made it to a new beginning where there is no turning back. When you are a senior, you look back at all the people who have helped you make it, from your parents and friends, to the faculty and students, and to God You will never be able to give them quite what they deserve, but with the goals you have achieved they will get the self satisfaction of knowing they were the ones who helped. As this school year came to a close we all felt a little loneliness deep inside, for we are going to miss the great times of the past year. The year was filled with many achievements from the field of academics to the field of sports, and with each brings back memories of hard work for accomplishments. Now that the year is over, the underclassmen can just pick out another volume, but for the seniors of the 80‘s it is a lot tougher. As seniors, the last chapter of the book was filled with many occupations of life, each of which one has to choose to best suit them. Whatever they may pick there still will be someone there to help them along life's long and narrow journey. The time has come to close the book and lead a life, but there is always the trusty yearbook to look back on, for it is the only record which has captured the funny, the sad, and proud of the most memorable years of our lives. To all who made it possible for us seniors to make it to the end of the volume. I say “God bless you.” And to each and every one of the seniors. “Keep turning those pages of the future, and may they be golden ones that will lead you to success. Keep reaching for the stars, for nothing is impossibl if you set your mind to it. Always remember to be proud: for we arc the only Royal Valley High School class of 1980. gone forever.” Love ya all and may God be with you! Soctt B Webb “Scooter” Trying not to make a mistake is J.

Bonnie-14, 65, The End Of The Beginning The theme of this yearbook has been a “New Be- ginning.” The events of the year have been new begin- nings in many ways with new clubs — Art and Li- brary, new teachers and principal, new athletic equip- ment, a trial salad bar, and being moved up to a 4A classification. The school was given a nutrition grant. The lunch menu was expanded and a youth advisory council (Y.A.C.) on nutrition was formed. There were oodles and oodles of other new begin- nings to numerous to mention. The yearbook has many new beginnings also. The most exciting addition is the four pages of full-color pictures. We also expanded the book to 128 pages; 12 more than in last year’s yearbook. Scenery end sheets were purchased as well as the silver for the cover. Two division pages were designed for each section instead of just one. The yearbook staffs goal was to caption the pic- tures, improve the design of the pages, and to use high-quality pictures. New pages were designated for assemblies, the Art and Library Clubs, and the Stock Market Game. Due to popular demand, the senior pictures were changed back to ovals. For this year’s book, we sold $3350 worth of ads — more than in any previous year, shirts to each class, and had two car washes. Thanks to Mr. Bostrom for his photography assis- tance, to Gcry Kauffman, our sales representative from Jostens, and Gene Schmidt who saved the year- book by retaking some of our group shots. We would like to give a special thanks to the busin- esses and families who bought ads in the yearbook, and thanks to the RVHS students, faculty, adminis- tration, and parents.
