Few things create as many memories as the years we spend in high school. During high school we al- ways seem to be struggling or even overwhelmed with classes, tests, boyfriends, girlfriends, or just the every- day life that accompanies high school. These same things are also those that seem to make us smile and laugh to ourselves in senti- mental thoughts. Just a passing glimpse of some- thing referring to our high school days is sure to flood our minds eye with good times, wild times, and exper- iences of growing unlike any we will ever again encoun- ter, as well as fill our hearts with feelings for all of the very special people who helped us make it through those four short years. The yearbook serves to re- mind us how important the teachers, friends, and those who serve as both were to our high school days, and it helps us realize how much these people mean to our lives.

Making Changes Stuco put on two all-school assemblies this year. The guest speaker, for the first assembly, was Father Mike Scully. He talked to the students about rock music. The second assembly was a film produced by Focus on the Family. Twice Pardoned was a film about a Harold Morris put in prison and he got a full pardon from the governor of the state and he also received a pardon from God. They were both very interesting assemblies and the most of the students liked them. Jim Stithem: Being President of an organization makes you realize that it takes more than just one person it takes the entire group to get things accomplished. Left: Todd is trying to recruit offi- cers for next year. He is telling them how fun it is to be in Stuco.

I hope the younger student leaders will carry on enthusiastically our strong student government tradition. 33 The judging teams traveled quite a bit this year and the results from all of this traveling are: 1st place at Butler County Community Col- lege. Cloud County Community College, and Alma; 2nd place at St. Joe; and 3rd place at Clay Center.

This play was set in the High- lands of Scotland, where the magi- cal village of Brigadoon appeared for one day every one hundred years. The musical was about two men that became lost while hunting in the Highlands of Scotland. While try- ing to find their way home, they stumbled upon Brigadoon and soon realized it was not an ordinary Scot- tish village. In Brigadoon, one of the men fell in love with a local villager. The only way they could stay together would be if he would be willing to give up his life in the outside world forever.

Brigadoon was a very diffi- cult play to perform and ac- quired very much time and prac- tice which was shown by the stu- dents. Brigadoon was a story of two New Yorkers who went on a hunting trip to Scotland, while achieving to get lost in the woods they stumbled upon a village which seemed to be a tad bit strange. Invited to stay and rest the hunters both relaxed for awhile while Tommy, the hunter, began to fall in love. Later Tom- my and Jeff found out that Briga- doon was a village that lasted only one day. During that one day there was a wedding taking place uniting Jean and Charlie. (Above Caption) During the wedding one of the townsfolk, Harry, who was still in love with Jean threatened to leave Briga- doon and the miracle would be over forever. The two hunters and townsmen went out to cap- ture Harry, who fell on a rock and killed himself. After that. Tommy, who had fallen in love with Fiona, was debating on whether to stay with Brigadoon or return home. Leaving Fiona he went home and realized what he really wanted was now gone for another hun- dred years. So he returned to Scotland looking for Brigadoon. By the power of love Brigadoon reappeared for a split second for Tommy to go with them. All three nights the performers were thanked for an excellent play. 64 Nathan Mark Kesler, Jeff Bone Leslie H., Terri S. and Tara V. Hard Work And Dasira Mada The Difference . . .

SCOTT GOODERL AND ANNE STAKER! The King and Queen of courts this year took place on Jan. 8th when the Pan- thers challenged the Hiawa- tha Redskins, the girls showed who owned the court but the boys took a hard break and lost. This an- nual Winter announcement that takes place of two sen- ior students chosen to be the king and queen is a very anticipated occurrence by the three coupled candi- dates. The candidates that were voted on by the entire school was Kelly Frederick escorted by Tracy Joy. Nikki Dutt escorted by Scott Goo- derl, and Anne Stoker es- corted by Jim Stithem. After the girls game the ceremo- ny took place, Brent Hill an- nounced Anne Stoker and Scott Gooderl as the 1988 king and queen. Last years returning king and queen were Jennifer Jager and Steve Staker preceded by the crown bearers. Sunshine Blue and Blake Meyer. Roses were presented and pic- tures were taken and then the game went on. The dance was held Saturday sponsored by the Sopho- mores and DJ'ed by the Music Man who provided a fun filled evening with a fast rock'n beat. During the dance, Scotty Albright was announced Mr. Dance Fever during a dance contest judged by the Music Man himself. The ladies had a tie between Lisa Tuck win and Tammy Nocktonick. Over all the game and dance turned out to be really fun and ex- citing for our '88' King and Queen. The first couple out was Scott Gooderl, son of Mr and Mrs Roger Gooderl. escorting Nikki Dutt. daughter of Mr and Mrs. Joe Dutt. Here sits Scott and Anne as they sit on their throne expressing the excitement that they got the crowns on their heads and will have something to brag about tomorrow The last couple to come out was Jim Stithem, son of Mr. and Mrs Myron Stithem, escorting Anne Staker. daughter of Mr and Mrs. Fred Staker The next couple out was Tracy Joy. son of Mr and Mrs Fred Joy. escorting Kelly Frederick, daughter of Mr and Mrs. Robert Frederick. 72 This grin is coming from Scotty Albright, watching the exciting game not knowing that the dance he would be attending shortly he would be named Mr Dance Fever The crown bearers were Sun- shine Blue and Blake Meyer, both attending Hoyt kindergar- ten. Now looking forward to someone carrying the crown to them someday Don'I Know What To Say Anne- Being chosen queen will be one of my most fondest memories from high school. The fact that my brother was king the year before made the honor extra special It was a truely exciting and enjoyable experience ' Kelly- I was excited to know that I had been chosen as a candidate, but it took a little while to believe it. I felt privi- leged to be a candidate knowing who the others were. I will always remember how I felt and the experience will never be forgotten . ' Nikki- I was really surprised that I was chosen as a Queen candidate I feel that it was a great honor and that I will always look back on this experience as one of the highlights of high school years It makes me feel good to know that I was at least a candidate.' 73 Brent Hill did an outstanding job his senior year as. you can see he's debating whether to break all the bones now or to let his opponent suffer for awhile Todd Staerkel shows off his new Royal Valley Wrestling T-shirt to let people know that the wrestlers mean business ----SUDDEN DEATH 1 The wrestling team this year was not as big as the past few years but did a remark- able job when it came to wrestling. With a great num- ber of returning seniors they had a good chance of tak- ing league. Through the tough practices and lots of losing weight, the team de- veloped and became a lean mean, fighting ma- chine. Royal Valley wrestlers take much time and effort in what they do, most all of the team is on the mat because it's what they like to do. If you were to ask any of them about the sport you would get an answer that it's the roughest, toughest sport available and the only one that counts. The wrestlers take pride in what they do and do a very good job at it. Coach Holloman commented: Sweat, pain, and blood were just a few of the important sacrifices these kids gave up this year. They sensed they could do better than good and they worked hard to prove it to them- selves and others.

Mike will always be remembered as a cheerful young man whose friendship was val- ued by many. They are alive and well somewhere. The smallest sprout shows there is really no death. And if ever there was it led forward life, and does not wait at the end to arrest it. And ceas'd the moment life appear'd. All goes onward and outward, nothing collapses. And to die is different from what any one supposed, and luckier. from Song of Myself by Walt Whitman ■
