Panthers Spirits Dampened — Bears Win 18-6 On a cold rainy night the Royal Val- ley Panthers had fallen behind the St. Marys Bears at halftime Everyone was anxiously waiting for the cere mony to begin During halftime the ceremony was postponed until after the game be- cause of all the heavy rain. The Pan- thers couldn't catch the Bears with a final score being Royal Valley 6. St. Marys 18. After the game everyone crowded into the gym. Finally the moment had come when Bruce Everhart was crowned King and Tammy Parret was Crowned Queen. Their attendants were Sheila Fenske and Darrin Stithem. Hope Adame and D.J Bausch.

After they make it through tryouts it’s work, work, work. After deciding on a uniform for next year the cheer- leaders and their sponsor plan projects to make money to pay for this uniform. Some of the cheerleaders plan on going to camp this summer, which is a lot of hard work, too. Getting up at 6:30 in the morning and being pep- py isn’t what it's all cracked up to be. Camp gives the cheerleaders a chance to meet new people and to get new ideas for next year on new routines and cheers. The cheerleaders had a few money making projects last summer; some of these pro- jects included a car wash and bake sale at Falley’s in North Topeka, home interiors par- ty, and car wash and bake sale at Calderwood’s. Finally after all the car wash- es, bake sales, etc. are done, school begins and so does more work; to prepare for pep rallies, cheering and trying to raise school spirit at games and practicing for these games all go hand in hand with the responsibility of being a cheerleader The purpose of the Royal Valley cheerleaders is to pro- mote and uphold school spir- it, to develop good sports- manship among the students, and to build a better relation- ship with our competing schools during athletic events.

Along with cheering for the JV ball players the JV cheerleaders are involved with the pep rallys, poster making and are partici- pating in as many spirit activities as the Varsity cheerleaders do. Although the JV cheerleading squad consisted of only three cheerleaders, they still had the crowd going at games and gave the players a lot of support. Ann Rhoades commented by saying, “I enjoyed representing Royal Valley High School as a Junior Varsity cheerleader.” Shelly Grant giving an example of the enthusiastic cheerleader during a rainy football game That Feeling Pep club puts a lot of spirit into the school by raising ac- tivities to do for the Panther teams that get the whole school involved, such as sponsoring spirit week and occasionally putting on a pep skit during a pep rally. With the backing of the cheer- leaders at games the pep club helps cheer the players on to get them into a good attitude so they can play well and have a good time doing it. They also will know by the cheering that the fans give them that they are backed by their school 100%. Pep club has had a lot of work to do during the school year to help promote better school pride and spirit here at RVHS. They have had a few money making projects this year to help pay for needed pep club shirts. Some of these activities in- clude; selling “I Love the 12 Panthers” bumper stickers, Called Spirit they planned a spaghetti feed during the winter months to bring in money but unfortu- nately they got snowed out, they have also sold booster ribbons during Homecoming week for the students to wear to show their spirit in their school. Along with having money making projects they have also been recruiting new members for this school term to bring their total member- ship to around 60 students. Pep club plans on being even better next year. The 1982-83 Pep Club officers for Royal Valley High School were Michael Woodbury. Vice-President; Kathy Kalcik, President; Linda Fitzgerald.

Charlie Myric, a great es- cape artist, visited RV on Nov. 5, 1982. He escaped from ropes, handcuffs, chains, and finally, from a terrifying straight jacket. He allowed Mr. Holloman and Mr. Gustin to wrap it around him. At first, it didn’t look like he was go- ing to escape, but after a few minutes of struggling, he was free. The abilities of this great magician were immensely enjoyed by RV. V 3 W ■ffljjri Sound Design Sound Design, a musical group from Kansas City, visited RV on Mar. 8, 1983.

It's hard saying goodbye to friends knowing that you all may never be together again But we must go on. some of us will stay together for life, others move on becoming high achievers or just ordinary people These few fun filled years seem to slip by so fast we say ‘No I don’t want to let these wonderful years slip by so fast, but then I do. because I know out there in this big world is another place and other people I await to seek and find .’’ It just seemed like yesterday I was a fresh man just entering these halls trying to figure out the ways of high school life And then a sophomore just hanging out and being bored with school. Then comes your junior year, you finally realize you're eventually moving on up And then you’re a senior saying Gosh. I can’t believe it. I’m going to graduate, spread my wings into new horizons Finally be coming a part of a new. different world.” And at last we finally achieve that one goal we all strive so hard for Making the best and worst of it. Learning mostly but also maturing It's finally over, but where now? This year graduation was held on Monday.

Two roads diverged in a wood — and I, I took the one less traveled by and that has made all the difference. -Robert Frost Jeanne Higley and Karin Bausch were named Salutatorian and Valedictorian, the highest academic honors a student can re- ceive in their four years of high school. From the first day of our high school career, we were taught to classify stu- dents according to their grade. Fresh- men, of course were not worthy of recognition; Seniors were almighty gods. Now that another class has made it, we look back and laugh; as another class is about to take the Sen- ior throne, we smile with anticipation.

STUCO Juniors Plan For Prom The juniors have been working hard this year so they will be able to put on a good prom. The class has done activities such as chili supper, magazine sales, a concession stand, and many others. The prom will be a very expensive night for the junior class. It will cost them approximately $2000 total. Eight to nine hundred dollars will be spent on the band and about $400 will be spent for the room at the Ramada Inn, downtown Topeka, where the dance will be held. As with any activity, sometimes problems crop up. Students had chosen “Ugly Rumors,” but the band broke up. Instead, the band “Horizons” has been chosen. “Love Me Tomorrow” has been chosen as the theme. Memory books and glasses were provided as favors by the junior class. Shelly Grant and Julie Stallbaumer take a break in the commons between classes. 1 Aenk, Jeanette Arnold. Laura Barger, Paul Beat, Fred Bell. James Bergman, Doug Calderwood.

The two teams fought it out on the court with RV winning 52-46. The RV t-eam featured many “greats” from the past and present — and sev- eral other players. The team was led in scoring by Alan “Sky” Hageman, who taught Magic Johnson the slam-dunk, contributing 23 points. Second in scor- ing with 22 points was Oscar Mayer’s son, Jeff “Hog Dog” Hill. Other team members included Fightin’ Rocky Fund, just in from Hollywood, with 12 points; Dr. J.R. Rundle, contributing 8 points. Scoring 2 points were Bob “No Basket” Haskett and Smokin’ Chokin’ Charlie Hoch. Jeff “The Steel Cur- tain” Gustin and Coach “Lightly Lea- pin’” Leonard made one point. Gener- al Wild Willie Wahlmeier, a man born with combat boots on; Jack-the-Hack Holloman, a player feared world-wide; and Mighty Madwoman McDougal, world Jell-o wrestling champ; did not score, but added much excitement to the game.

They proved themselves by starting out the year with the band marching in all but one of the half-times of the home football games. (The home- coming show was cancelled because of rain.) They also traveled the long trip to Hutchinson to march in the State Fair parade. On March 17, the band performed in the St. Patrick’s Day parade in Topeka. Second year Drum Major Linda Fitz- gerald directs the band from the side lines. To get to the more serious part of band, where everything counts on crescendos and decrescendos, fortes and mezzofortes, the Royal Valley Panther band played their hearts out at the Christmas and Spring con- certs. They also participated in the regional contest at Kansas State University, where they received two IPs and a I rating. People who received I’s at regionals traveled to Sterling College for the state contest. They were Linda Fitzgerald, a I rating on her French horn solo; Keith Zachariasen, a II rating on his trumpet solop and Keith Za- chariasen, Jim Curtis, and Matt Kahler re- ceived a III on their trumpet trio. (A I rating is given for a superior performance; II for excellent; and III for a good performance.) (Upper right) DELORES BAKER - Band.

Many goals were reached including the chance to go compete in state competition. At re- gional competition they got a I rating and at state, a hardearned II. The fall concert was exciting to watch as the group “Sparkled-Farkled” throughout the show. The Christmas show had the traditional Christmas carols in it while the spring performance had a variety of new melodies. They did their usual traveling during the year, too. Some of the places per- formed at were White Lakes Mall, the Capitol Building, the Federal Building, the Holton Nursing Home, and the Mayetta Catholic Church. The Sound- sations even made it on television!! Their performance at the Capitol was partially televised by Channel 13 — WIBW on the Early News Show. GAVLA COPELAND-Soundsations, Hi-lights.

They started out with an outstanding perfor- mance at the Fall Concert in Novem- ber. At the Christmas Concert they sang carols for the audience and made their faces brighten. They then went to Hiawatha and participated in the Big 7 League to receive pointers for region- al contest. At 6:00 a.m. the Hi-lights boarded the bus for the long trip to Atchison where regionals were held. They received a II rating. With their high kicks and soft sound they ven- tured to Hiawatha once more to com- pete in the Show Choir Contest, where they received a II rating. For their last performance of the year they sang at the Spring Concert in May. Chapter II, the male singing group, consisted of many new-comers. Al- though the group did not perform much, the members learned music ba- sics sure to help them in the future.

What’s a FORENSICS?? Well, basically that’s a special breed of people that talks or speaks in front of a group of peers and a judge. There are many categor- ies to participate in, such as po- etry, extemporaneous speaking, prose, oration, duet acting, solo acting, and interpretation of lit- erature. This year’s team did very well under the guidance of Mrs. Carolyn (DeGraw) Dale, foren- sics coach. The novice and ad- vanced speech teams collected over 90 individual medals this season, including 15 first place medals. The teams took Sweep- stakes trophies at the Jefferson County League Tournament and the Jefferson West Invita- tional Tournament. They placed 2nd overall at the Wamego Invi- tational and the Gardner-Edger- ton Invitational. Sixteen indivi- duals qualified for state competi- tion. At the State Festival, Bill Kincaid, Rick Lundin, Scott Knaub, Matt Poort, and Lori Sosna received I ratings. At State Championship, Andrea Romero and Michael Woodbury placed 5th in the state in duet acting. Darren Rausch was 3rd in the state in solo acting and also 3rd in interpretation of lit- erature.

Their dedication to the sport, however, saw both, the boy’s and girl’s teams return to compete at the 3A State meet at Manhattan. Coach Ken Cannon said, “It was en- couraging to watch this group improve and mature into a solid unit by the end of the year. They were competitive not only with other teams, but the run- ners really pushed themselves. They were a close-knit group.” With only three returning lettermen from last year’s squad, four new run- ners were moved up to the boy’s varsi- ty. The boys struggled through many nagging injuries, but Keith Zachariasen proved to be the Panther’s most con- sistent runner. With eight returning let- termen, the prospects for 1983 ap- pear bright. The girl’s team, like the boys, was quite young. Andrea Romero set the pace for the girls most of the season. Penny Gooderl, however, showed con- tinued improvement and finished a strong sixteenth in the State meet. Eli- zabeth Wabaunsee and Candy Leon- ard improved their times as the season progressed. These four girls were all underclassmen. Highlights of the season for the two teams were the boys qualifying to re- turn to State competition by edging out Riley County by two points in the regional meet and the girls sixth place finish at the State meet.

He battled for the fourth and fifth spots all season, and he worked extremely hard at improv- ing his times. “All three of the senior runners were solid team people.

Football Players Tackle The Season The 1982 Royal Valley varsity football team had a very successful season. Their record, (4-5) didn’t show this, but the way they played did. Their statistics always showed them above or close to the opponents, which is an accomplishment from the past. When asked about the season, Mr. Walhmeir said this, “the team made progress throughout the season, but they still have alot of work to do for next year.” Bruce Everhart offered his comments, “Throughout the season we had our highs and lows. We showed unity and desire as a team especially at the end of the season during playoffs.” Darrin Stithem went on to say, “I felt like we had a winning season even with a 4-5 record. We played with a lot of heart and spirit all year long and in the end especially.” This is what Mr. Gustin had to say, “As my first year as coach 1 was pleased with the progress the team made when it came time for dis- trict playoffs. There wasn’t a game that I didn’t feel our kids put out 100%. You can tell by the feelings of these players and coaches that they felt is was an excellent season and that the seasons in the future will be even better yet. The 12 Seniors on the 1982 football team were definitely leaders, leading the team in different areas on the field. Bruce Everhart put 18 points on the board with field goals and extra point kicks. Roger Catron carried the ball 77 times for 459 yards. Mike Blazic car- ried the ball 92 times for 330 yards. Darrin Stithem had a passing average of 40% for a total of 377 yards; six of the passes were touchdowns. These Seniors were excellent players and will definitely be missed next year. When Mr. Wahlmeier was asked how he felt about the Seniors he said, “We are losing a lot of key people. They hold vital positions and know they have to be replaced. 1 feel the upper classmen next year will be able to fill the spots pretty good.” The 1982 Senior RVHS football players are: R. Catron.

Mike Cochran goes one on one against a Silver Lake opponent Although the Junior Varsity team didn’t have a very impressive record (2-3), Coach Hill felt like they had a very successful season. Coach Hill said, “I was happy to be given the opportunity to work with a fine group of athletes. They started the season playing very well and because of various injuries and many players moving up to varsi- ty, they faded toward the end of the season. “1 felt like it was a learning .situation for both the players and myself. I was very impressed with the effort and the heart that each player demonstrated throughout the season.” stated Coach Hill. 104 Frosh: The Team Of The Future The Freshman football team of 1982 proved to be a bright spot on the grid- iron last fall. A super effort by the entire team helped make it one of the most successful frosh seasons in Royal Valley’s young history. Coach Jim Holloman said, “1 couldn’t have asked for a better bunch of athletes to be associated with and to be able to coach. Their determination in wanting to become good football players and their persistent hard work made my experience as their coach a very pleas- ant one. I’m going to miss coaching these fine young men next year but look forward to supporting them in the upcoming years.” Devin Lee looks on as Holton tackles our man.

Not only in our style of play, but in our players atti- tudes also. They know now what is expected of them and what it takes to be a member of a competitive volley- ball team,” stated Mrs. Gustin. Their season record was mediocre, 9 wins, 14 losses. But the record itself doesn’t tell people that they often took teams to three games in the The-J.V. and V.

They earned two fifth places and received a third place in the Sabetha Tournament. But the biggest moment of the season for them was going to Sub-State at Rossville and winning their first match. This was the first time in over five years that a Royal Valley volleyball team won their first sub-state match. In the second round of play they lost to St. Mary’s, who eventually went on to state competition. “1 saw a lot of good things happen to volleyball at Royal Valley this season, but I’m still not satisfied as a coach. I won’t be either, until we finish a sea- son with a winning record, or get a state playoff berth. Until then, I’m go- ing to improve myself as a coach and work hard at improving my players,” said Coach Gustin. Robin Danks and Hope Adame nervously await to see who the ball wilt 'ome to.

They were Hope Adame, Robin Danks, Sheila Hopkins, Lori McKee, Tammy Parrett, and Tina Troxei. The team counted a lot of these seniors for team leadership. Statistical-wise, Tina Troxei made the most points serving for the whole season and was chosen to the All-League second team. Lori McKee was chosen to the All- League first team and to the Sabetha All- Tournament team. “These seniors are very special to me, and they will be missed next year,” Coach Gustin stated.

The JV squad had a hard time winning matches, 1-6; but their record was not indicative of the way they progressed throughout the season. Mrs. Gustin said that she is looking forward to next year’s season already. “These ladies are hard work- ers with good attitudes and they are not afraid to aivp 1009k if thou hawo to. These are the kinds of athletes that Royal Valley High School needs,” stat- ed Coach Gustin. Darla Rausch returns the ball as Laura Kincaid is ready to spring into action.

Coach Karalin McKain said, “Although we ended the season with what is sometimes termed a “losing” season- 4 wins 5 losses, I could not have been prouder of my team. This group of “lean, mean vol- leyball machines” was a really great bunch to work with. The girls all had a great deal of enthusiasm toward vol- leyball. They were dedicated athletes with an abundance of energy. They wanted to win and were proud when they did. When they lost a game they were determined and never gave up.” All nine girls improved 200% from the start of practice in August. They worked as a team, not individuals. Be- cause of the size and ability, all the team members got to start at least once. The highlight of the year was the fine performance at the Freshman Volley- ball Tournament at Hiawatha. The team finished their bracket with 4 wins and 2 losses and then played the championship match against undefeat- ed Nemaha Valley. Although they lost to the Raiders, the team received 2nd place, finishing above Marysville and Hiawatha. Coach McKain said that the Freshmen players would be a great asset to RVHS in the years to come.

They played some really tough games this year, and they always put up a fight right to the buzzer. They played many one or two point games, but seldom came out ahead. The team’s weakest point was at the free throw line. They attempted 278 and only made 138. Considering that the team wasn’t as tall as most of their opponents, they brought down 561 rebounds. They never gave up and should be proud of their season. “I had a very fun year even though we had a losing season, stated Ryan Tar- water, junior starter. “I think every- body had a good attitude about it.” Keith Zachariasen added, “Consider- ing that we were inexperienced from last year we had a super season. “This season was filled with a lot of questions and adjustments, com- mented Coach Jeff Hill. “We spent alot of time looking for consistency on the court. I feel our win-loss record doesn’t clearly depict our total team effort for this year. Darrin Stithem made the 1983 All-League bas- ketball team. Ryan Tarwater does some fancy shooting In the Sub-State game against Horton. The 1983 seniors on the varsity basketball team were: D.J. Bausch. Roger Catron. Darrin Stithem. Bruce Everhart, and Mike Blazic. “1 feel fortunate to have had a fine group of Sen- iors to work with this year.

Boys Take First At RV Tourney Paul Barger wails (or the tip-off from Marlin Ward This year the J.V. team finished the season with an excellent record (11-4). “I certainly enjoyed the chance to work with this group of athletes for the second time in the last four years. It was a real pleasure to see them achieve a considerable amount of suc- cess. I think that if this group works on the game over the summer they should be successful at the varsity lev- el next year,” stated Coach John Run- dle. The team members were very proud and pleased with the season also. “I enjoyed playing and I think we had an excellent year. I hope we can continue winning next year and have a strong varsity team,” Jeff Jager commented. Paul Berger went on to say, “I think we had a pretty successful season. If we continue to work hard we should have a tough varsity team next year.” RV 43 vs. Effingham 39 (OT) RV 28 vs. JCN 25 RV 47 vs. Hayden 56 RV 39 vs. Hiawatha 41 RV 63 vs. Wamego 45 RV 43 vs. Jeff West 50 RV 47 vs. Silver Lake 42 RV 65 vs. Pleasant Ridge 46 RV 46 vs. Sabetha 37 RV 54 vs. Oskaloosa 28 RV 63 vs. Jeff West 53 RV 57 vs. Holton 50(2OT) RV 57 vs. Perry 60 ROYAL VALLEY TOURNEY- 1st RV 45 vs Jackson Heights 43 RV 48 vs. Rossville 41 Coach Rundle gives the team a good lecture during a time-out.

They started the season off with victories over Perry and Wa- mego. The rest of the season was like a teeter-totter. One win, one loss, back and forth. Then they had an excellent 2nd place finish at the Silver Lake Tournament. When asked, Tom Barger comment- ed, “I thought we played pretty well for the competition we had. We also did well in the Silver Lake Tourney. I think we had a very good, even season with a record of 8-7.” Matt Lewis shared his feelings about the season. “1 thought we had a good season. With a little more experience we should have an excellent J.V. and Varsity team.” The “all-wise” Coach Hollo- man offered these remarks, “I really enjoyed working with the Freshman this year. They had a tremendous competitve and winning attitude. They also gave me everything they could on the court and sometimes went beyond their ability. I’ll miss working with them next year.” 113 Girls Win First Round Of Sub-State This year the varsity girls basketball team had an excellent season. Their win-loss record wasn’t as good as it has been in the past, but they played to the best of their ability. They really proved themselves when they beat Pleasant Ridge in Sub-State. Robin Danks, a senior starter, went on to say, “We had a lot of ups and downs this season, but we stuck together through it all. One game that was unforgettable was when we beat Pleasant Ridge during the first round of Sub-State. I had fun this season and I’ll really miss the rest of the team.” Coach Hunt went on to say, “Overall, the season was very rewarding. It’s very gratifying to work with young people who are willing to make the commitment and sacrifices necessary for team success.” Tina Troxel was the only Varsity girls basketball member who was chosen for the first string Jefferson All-League team.

Girls Finish Strong With A Good Record The J.V. girls had a winning record (9- 7) this year, and they really deserved it. They played hard all year and in many of their games they had to fight right down to the last second. Many of them had experience on varsity and so with that experience and a winning re- cord behind them, the 1983-84 team has alot to look forward to. “It was really fun playing J.V. The girls always kept it exciting by being so crazy. 1 thought we had a pretty good season and should be just as good next year,” stated Julie Stallbaumer. Lori Chance commented, “It was fun while it lasted and the coaches were really good. 1 really enjoyed working with varsity and I hope to play the next two years.” Coach Gustin’s feelings were, “I was really proud of my J.V. team. We finished with a winning record of 9- 7. Even though we were small we out- rebounded the majority of our oppo- nents and never gave up when we were down.” RV- 37 VS.

This year Royal Valley had a Frosh girls team that they could be proud of. They had an excellent record, coach, and team. Miss McDougal had her hands full trying to teach them any- thing and she pulled it off. All year long when one heard the girls talk about their coach it was never bad. They could work together and that’s exactly what they did. With a record of 9 wins and 5 losses, you would have to say that their unity as a team really pulled them through. When asked how she felt about the season in general, Coach McDougal commented, “We had a super season. The Freshmen have lots of spark and enthusiasm. They are an exciting promise for the future. I enjoyed working with them tremendously and really hope they continue down the road of success.” Next when asked, a couple of the teammates remarked, “I think that we played to the best of our ability and in the coming years we should be a great basketball team,” said Carrie Fenske. Penny Gooderl stated, “I think we had a real good season and our record proved it. I hope our team can stick together the next three years and go all the way.” The 1982-83 Freshman Girls Basketball team consisted of the following players: Back Row: Tracy Schnacker, Nancy Grant. Toni Everhart. Tracy Cochran, Carrie Fenske. Lisa Weichert, Cheryl Hopkins. Kim Stithem, Sue Delaney, Lacey Link. Wendy Schuetz, Coach Debbie McDougal. Front Row: Tammy Lewis. Melissa Frickey. Penny Gooderl. Michelle Boling, Royce Ogden. Jeannie Harden, and Angie Fisk 117 Track Sends Three To State Competition The 1983 track team at Royal Valley is one that the athletes can be proud of. The season had a bad start because of rain. Many of the meets had to be postponed. There were some times when tracksters had 3 meets a week. At the beginning of the track season, 47 boys and 35 girls were running track. At the end of the season, there were 30 boys and 23 girls still compet- ing. Coach A1 Hageman commented, “I hope this interest continues throughout the years.” During the track season, the boys brought home 68 medals and the girls brought home 92 medals. The tracksters won medals by placing in the top three positions at the meets. Letters were awarded at the Aca- demic Awards Banquet, May 12. There were 17 boys who lettered while 13 girls recevied letters. In order to letter, a person must obtain IV2 points per varsity meet, or 12 points total. A person could also letter by earning one point at the league track meet. This year 3 seniors represented Royal Valley at the 3A State Track Meet in Wichita. D.J. Bausch competed in the 100 and 200 meter dashes, earning 6th place finishes in both. Tonya Steele qualified to compete in the shot put and came away with 3rd place. Tina Troxel competed in shot put, fin- ishing in 1st place, and in discus, in which she did not place. Hageman was assisted by Debbie McDougal and Charlie Hoch. The managers for the track team were Ben Ehrhart, Robin Danks, and Kathy Kal- cik. All year long the team worked really hard. They had some excellent seniors leading the pack, but they also had good underclassmen on the squad. With these underclassmen coming back next year, it looks to be a very promising season for 1983-84. The 1983 track members-Allen Aenk, Pat Luthi, D.J. Bausch.

When asked what it’s like to be a coach they commented: McKain, “It can be nerve-racking and frustrating sitting on the side- lines but I wouldn’t want to be any- where else.” Hunt, “For the most part coaching is very rewarding. Coaches deal with the best young people in the school.” J. Gustin, “I like working with kids to help them become a better person through sports.” Wahlmeier, “Coaching can be rewarding and frustrating at the same time. It can be sad at times and happy. Most of the time it is all those feelings at the same time.” Holloman, “Coaching athletes is a real thrill for me. I enjoy working with the kids and helping them reach their potential goals.” C. Gustin, “While coaching, I feel ex- cited, relieved' angry, frustrated, happy, and numb. Seeing them im- prove and grow throughout the sea- son. It gives me tremendous satis- faction.” Hill, “Coaching is a posi- tion that bring someone a lot of frustration and anxiety.” 120 “To everything there is a season, And a time to every purpose under Heaven.” — The Byrds There are many time within a lifetime. There is a time for beginnings, a time for endings; a time to party, a time to be alone; a time to love, and a time to cry. There are great times, bad times, wonderful times, sad times, funny times, quiet times and the most remarkable thing about these times is that they are constantly changing throughout each of our lives. The 1982-83 school year was a year of just such changing times. But no matter how much times change, some things will always be the same. Blue jeans are still in fashion and so is cramming for tests the hour before taking them. Mr. Hill is still gorgeous, Mr. Wahlmeier still works our muscles, as well as our brains, and Ms. Gish still asks what we’ll be doing next year. But the most important constant has been the people who are Royal Valley High School — the clowns, the personalities, the lovers and the friends that we will always carry with us. The times truly are changing — but our feelings and memories of RVHS and each other never will. Now it’s time to go beyond the walls of RVHS — to leave, some of us for the summer — some forever. 1982-83 Royal Valley High School Yearbook Staff Donna Frickey, Co-Editor Robin Danks, Photographer Lori Chance Tracy Durham Sheila Fenske Tamra Joy Liliana Reina Raymond Wahweotten Tina Troxel Verna Potts, Co-Editor Ann Rhoades, Photographer Lisa Dreher Ken Eck Mike Frederick Jacob Ogden Myra Stithem Mark Winter Danna Gibbs Miss Karalin McKain, Adviser 121 A Adame, Carol 14, 17, 89, 106, 114 Adame, Hope 9, 14, 38, 48, 90, 106, 107, 114, 115 Aenk, Allen 38, 48, 100, 101, 118 Aenk, Jeanette 32, 34, 72 Albright, Tammy 26, 28, 118 Allensworth, Ron 38, 29, 48, 96 Anderson, Alan 78 Area, Bob 27, 38, 48 Area, Jim 27, 70, 118 Arnold, Elaine 28, 30, 75 Arnold, Laura 30, 32, 72, 88 B Barger, Paul 14, 15. 27, 72, 92,' 112 Barger, Tom 27, 71, 105, 113 Barnett, Dan 75 Bausch, D.J. 3, 9, 14, 27, 34, 38, 48, 51, 90, 110, 111, 118, 119 Bausch, Ed 27, 83 Bausch, Julie 14, 85, 108, 114, 118 Bausch, Karin 23, 25, 28, 29, 31, 33, 34, 35, 36, 38, 48, 49, 51, 83 Baxter, Gary 27, 83, 105, 118 Beam, Kevin 75 Beat, Fred 72 Bell, Carla 26, 28, 78 Bell, James 14, 27, 72 Bergman, Doug 72, 85, 103 Bisnett, David 27, 35, 39 Blazic, Dan 27, 105 Blazic, Mike 14, 18, 20, 39, 51, 90 95, 103, 110 Boling, Michelle 78, 117, 118 Boswell.
