Bronco celebrates 50th IT ifty years ago, the students of Russell High School chose as their mascot the bronco. In choosing a mascot, the students had five other choices: the wildcat, the lion, the grizzley, the buffalo, and the oiler. However, none of these other options received even one-fourth as many votes as did the bronco. Clearly, the bronco was as popular to students of RHS fifty years ago as it remains today. Not only has the bronco endured half a century, but so has the pride and spirit of Russell High School students who proudly claim to be a mighty bronco dwelling in a place of power and domination known as bronco territory. It is this pride and spirit that has helped to enable students throughout the years to strive for success and accomplishments in all aspects of high school activities, from sports, to music, to academics. The pride students of RHS have had and continue to have is also evident through the ways in which the bronco has been featured and represented throughout the school. The most recent addition is Champion, the impressive bronze statue that promotes a sense of respect and dignity for not only Russell High School, but for the entire community of Russell, as well. The bronco has developed into a symbol that to graduates and students of RHS represents a long tradition of excellence and achievement. As we recognize the golden anniversary of our cherished bronco, we must also recognize all that this mascot symbolizes: pride, determination, and success — all of which are truly golden. Year of Golden Bronco The 1986 Homecoming was ex- tra-special this year. It marked the 50th year for the bronco as our mascot. The festivities began with The Year of the Golden Bronco as our theme. Spirit days began with inside-out day, followed by punk rock nerd day, opposite sex day, and twin day. Ending the week was the tradi- tional red and blue day. The fresh- men won the spirit days by having the most participants. Thursday evening, the tradition- al snake dance and bonfire was held. Although this was the first year it was not school sponsored, later that night, the seniors white- washed the town. They ended the evening by placing a three-seater outhouse on top of the school. All week long, students worked hard on floats and hall decorations, preparing for the parade and judg- ing, The junior class won the float competition, featuring Scott McCobb, Matt Walters, and Jim Bean as two frogs and a king bron- co on the float. The seniors, who transformed main hall into a sky of clouds and rainbows, won the hall decorations. Erin Flagler and Bennie Schmidt were crowned Homecoming Queen and King before the football game against the Pratt Greenbacks. The candidates were: Tina Michaelis, Barb Raben, Billy Gooch, and Chuch Schremmer. Attendents were: seniors-Tish Gilpin and Da- vid Beagley; juniors-Cheryl Gooch and Steve Middleton; sophomores- Becky Green and Ray Root; and freshmen-Becky Gnad and Shon Thacker. R R Productions provided en- tertainment for the dance, held in the cafeteria after the game. Although Russell didn't have the victory everyone wanted. Home- coming was an eventful one that will hold many special memories. Three buddies-Joe Root, Jason Dinkel, and Steve Middleton, psych up for the big game on Friday. Allison Krug waves to the crowd, while re- presenting F.F.A. in the Homecoming pa- rade. The senior attendents. Tish Gilpin and Da- vid Beagley, ride in the parade.

Far Right: Jill Michel, Joe Root, and Kelli Ostermeyer relax on the radiators between classes. Right: Doug Langhofer polishes his locker. Shifting from long hours of studying, endless days of taking notes, and last minute homework assignments, students take time out to do what they like best. Some spend their after-school time going to movies and dragging Main Street. As far as extra-cur- ricular activities go, road-tripping to other towns is a favorite of RHS students. Hays is probably the number one destination. Whether students' extra-curricu- lar activities are just partying with their friends or being alone, engrossed in their favorite hobbies, after-hours time is essential to maintaining sanity.

Assistant Director was Miss Lane. Together Mrs. Willson and Miss Lane put on the all school play. Bells are Ringing, on November 13 and 14. Student Director was Shauna Hackerott, pianist — Cheryl Line, synthesizer — Steve Lueth, drums and choreography — Christy Lueth, crews director was Carol Hall and the announcer was Mike Hall. Ella Peterson and Jeffrey Moss, played by Kelly Funk and Wade Willson, delighted the audiences with their new found love while innocently involved in a bookie ring headed by Otto Prantz, played by Scott McCobb, and unconsciously funded by Sue Summers, played by Amy Dawson. Sue thought that her life savings was going to Otto's new business — Titanic Records, which was ac- tually a front for his bookie ring.

In addition to those activities pictured, there is Christmas caroling, ski trips, kid- die barnyards, powder-puff foot- ball, almost anything goes, interna- tional dinners, holiday candy sales, and chili and watermelon feeds. Or, club members keep busy putting up spirit signs, selling refresh- ments at the concessions stands, participating in contests, festivals, or workshops, listening to speak- ers, putting on plays and skits, per- forming at activities, and selling candy, candles, balloons, pins, mugs, or books. Club activity is a two-way street; members enhance the club's activities and are, in turn, enhanced themselves as indivi- duals. A gold mine of A new water system for the FFA farm passes during a FFA meeting. At the FFHA cluster meeting in Oklahoma City, Ok., Chrissy Maier explains the Rus- sell chapter's activities for the year. FFA provides many experiences for its mem- bers. Ffere Mr. Niedenthal prepares to teach Allison Krug the art of timming a tree. Students paid Amy Dawson and Rhonda Dickens for votes during the 'Best Turkey's Legs contest, sponsored by Kayettes. As the winner, Mr. Kvasnicka was awarded a turkey. 12 Academics And Clubs Activities Luke Nichols entertains a motion by Kevin Gregg during an FFA meeting. Practice takes a lot out of a person as can be seen; Tish Gilpin offers friendly support to Rachelle Windholz during a drama club rehearsal. Dusty Daugherty and Jennifer Windholz practiced their parts in the play until perfected. Dusty Daugherty and Tish Gilpin, StuCo officers, record the weight of food donated during the food drive which was part of class competition. The Seniors clinched the competition when they brought in sacks of potatoes that assured them of the highest total weight in donations. Academics And Clubs 13 Coming to English The five Language Arts teachers at RHS had a full schedule for stu- dents to cope with during the 1986- 87 school year. Mrs. Bair taught the juniors all about To Kill a Mock- ingbird and how to write fun and exciting compositions. Mrs. Ear- nest brought her students to terms with the English language and how it relates to reading and writing. Mr. Underwood gave his usual en- thralling course in Mythology, terms with along with such classics as Romeo and Juliet and lulius Caesar. Mr. Crenshaw's students were fortu- nate enough to study reading, writ- ing, and thinking. Great emphasis was stressed on the thinking as- pect. Seminar students were taken on solely by Mrs. Brock. Freshmen started their high school English experience with forms and terms in literature. The Sophomores contin- ued this study, with themes in lit- erature. The juniors started a new trend with an in depth study and analysis of American literature. The Seniors closed out their high school career with a survey of Eng- lish literature and accomplishing the feat of learning critical analysis. The Senior Seminar students year long project was to complete a slide show consisting of pictures of RHS students and setting it to ap- propriate music. This project would bring to a close their high school days, and yet have them pre- served for future referances to the past. Misty Kuntzsch and Tammy Conrad do some last minute cramming for a grammar test. Rhonda Dickens reads a fascinating bed-time story to her big pal. Except for Eddie Generals, all of Mr. Under- wood's students seem to agree to one of his unplanned happenings. Barb Raben chokes Paul Forrester during a heated discussion over Macbeth. Marc Machin achieves the perfect take me home look during a drawn out discussion over vocabulary. 14 Language Arts Academics And Clubs Exercise the fingers and the mind Business classes at RHS keep students busy. Typing I teaches students to use various keyboards. Typing II is a course which im- proves techniques learned in Typ- ing I. Office Practice develops perfor- mance efficiency of those duties as- signed to general office workers. Advanced Office Practice is a re- view of skills covered by office practice, with in-depth concentra- tion on career possibilities. Accounting I acquaints the stu- dent with the basic principles re- quired for accurate and neat re- cords. Accounting II provides the student with a review of the basic principles of accounting. Business Law and Economics are one semester courses for seniors. Social Science classes at RHS keep the minds boggling with in- formation. Driver Education is an elective offered in the summer. Stu- dents must be 14 years of age, and have certain classroom and driving hours to pass this course. American History is a required course for juniors. Government, a required course for seniors, in- spires students to take part in our democratic process. Government students take part in the RHS mock election, visit the Kansas Legisla- ture, and work on income tax forms. Psychology is a one semester course. The students do many re- ports on all the psychologists they study. Sociology, a one semester course, is designed to study collec- tive behavior, propaganda, and cen- orship. World History is an elective that requires the student to make world maps. Western Civilization, an elective for seniors, is an in-depth study of the rise of Christianity, the Renaissance, and Reformation. Family Living, a new elective at RHS, is an in-depth study of family stress and crisis. Tina Soukup keeps her fingers on home row during a liming in Mrs. Stahl's classroom. Krissy Pickens and Debby Hogan gossip while they wait on the classroom door to be opened. Terry Milke ponders an easy way to fill out ACT forms. Paul Forrester and Jerry Bachar use their study time wisely in Miss Lane's classroom. Business And Social Science Academics And Clubs 15 Packing in the facts The use of Math Science in our ever advancing society increases with each passing year, as does the enrollment in Biology Classes, Math Classes, Science Classes, Computer Science Classes, Algebra Classes, Geometry, Chemistry, and Physics. As the unsure futures of RHS students begin to take form, students realize how important these academic classes are. Mr. Chegwidden, Mr. Kaufman, Mr. Lyczak, Mr. Miller, Mrs. Owens, and Mr. Shank do their best to pre- pare students to enter the world of technology. Students learn anything from how to run a computer to how to build an atom. To the delight of most, Mr. Right: Cheg helps Biology II members, Tammy McEvoy, Bill Cates, and Amy God- dard with their research. Above: A Biology I class takes advantage of class time to study for weekly vocabulary tests. Above right: Grant Brown requests assis- tance from the teacher. Middle: Kori Schultz and Dicki Slack at- tempt to study. Chegwidden received a portion of his animals back this year. Mr. Kaufman took over the du- ties of teaching Chemistry this year. In previous years, this job be- longed to Mrs. Owens. Students in Mr. Miller's Com- puter Science classes soon learn, “It's not the computer; it's the oper- ator! A special tribute to these spe- cial teachers is well deserved. Due to their excellent teaching skills, many of RHS students have and will become high achievers. 16 Math And Science Academics And Clubs Vocations offer variety There are many classes offered under the vocational heading. The numerous classes of woodshop pre- sent one with the chance to advance to higher levels, such as craftsman- ship. Mr. Balding has taught these woodshop classes for the past sev- eral years. Vocational agriculature classes are designed to get students in- volved in agriculture in ways such as producing crops, raising live- stock, and judging plants. Agricul- ture I is an introductory course of study designed to acquaint the in- coming freshmen with the origins of Future Farmers of America (FFA). Other advanced agricultural classes are Ag I, II, III, and IV. The Practical Arts and Auto Me- chanics buildings are supervised by Mr. Daugherty. Welding skills are taught to the beginners, who can later further their interests in advanced welding classes. Ailttf WtcVamt Top left, Mr. Daugherty shows students how to use a soldering iron.

Vocations Academics And Clubs 17 From crayons to Nikes Mr. Perbeck was busy this year with a full schedule of Physical Education courses. The Freshmen dominated his day by participating in three out of four of his P.E. classes. Even though there was only one Advanced P.E. class, Per- beck never saw a dull day, due to his two hours of Weight Training. Mr. Castor had to keep on his toes for the 1986-87 school year. He was responsible for two classes of Arts and Crafts, one hour of Crafts II, Crafts III IV, Art II, and Art III IV. New murals were added to the halls of RHS by a group of ad- vanced art students. Kelli Fuller, Mitzi Ziegler, Jim Bean, Kristin Schmitt, and Katrina Brumley gave a face-lift to the archway above the gymnasium entrance in the Main Hall. Also, Dana Rohr painted her way through history by creating a historical mural for a section of hall outside Miss Lane's room to Mr. Most's room.

Music Academics And Clubs Seminar is an individualistic ar- ray of advanced students who are part of the Individual Education Program, I.E.P. All students formu- late a goal which they would like to attain by the end of the year. The main objective of the program is to meet each student's objective at his or her own speed. Such goals can range from doing better in German to building a clock out of a bowling ball. Seminar sponsors the student writing magazine, Potluck Lit , a publication filled with student written literature. The quiz bowl is under the auspices of Seminar. If a student needed extra help working on his project, he was able to go to the sponsor of Seminar, Mrs. Brock. Seminar did not meet as regular classes; the students made individual appointments as they were needed. The students in Seminar were freshmen Andrea Cross, Jamie Gil- more, Caryn McCobb, Jennifer Steinle, Whitney Thouvenelle, sophomores Mike Elton, Jill Vlcek, Rachelle Windholz, juniors Dusty Daugherty, Scott McCobb, Renee Wasinger, and seniors Scott Box- berger, Paul Forrester, Tish Gilpin, Anita Krug, Daniel Krug, Danni Maier, and Barbara Raben.

Goals are met 20 Seminar Academics And Clubs Typing it in A computer is a complex ma- chine that takes years to learn com- pletely how to run. This was Eric Wagner's, Computer Science II stu- dent, conclusion about computers. Fortunately, students of RHS have access to and the opportunity to learn about computers. Common belief is that computers will be a large part of students' futures, and that knowledge the machines is es- sential. Most likely, this belief has con- tributed to the increased enroll- ment in Mr. Miller's Computer Sci- ence I II classes in recent years. Mr. Miller had this to say about teaching computer language: Teaching these classes is very en- joyable, mostly because the stu- dents who take these classes get hooked on the computers.

Proving a point What sort of agricultural policy would best serve the interests of the United States? The debate team spent the first semester trying to answer this question under the 1986-87 debate topic, Resolved: That the federal government should implement a comprehen- sive, long-term agricultural policy in the United States. The debaters competed in six debate tourna- ments, where they argued for, as well as against the resolution. An- gie Stinchcomb and Renee Wa- singer placed third at Hays and sec- ond at Great Bend. The debate team also hosted the first annual Thomas Iden Invita- tional Debate Tournament, named after the longtime Russell educator who established the debate pro- gram at RHS. Members of the debate team, coached by Mr. Crenshaw, includ- ed Barbara Raben, Anita Krug, Re- nee Wasinger, Matt Walters, Angie Stinchcomb, Caryn McCobb, An- drea Cross, Lezlee Castor, and Chris Roberts. Top: Mr. Crenshaw is amused as he ob- serves the actions of a few of his debaters. Middle: Renee Wasinger takes notes and collects evidence in preparation for her speech in a class debate.

The rest of the challenge, of course, was be- ing able to present the selections smoothly and effectively. Through- out the forensic season, members of the forensic team traveled to sev- eral tournaments in order to pre- sent speeches, interpret literature, and portray various characters from plays and skits. Through participating in the nu- merous events, the eight team members gained valuable exper- ience in speaking before audiences. and at the same time, they were able to do quite well competitively. Members of the team were Lezlee Castor, Jane Gardner, Becky Gnad, Amie Goddard, Anita Krug, Caryn McCobb, Angie Stinchcomb, and Renee Wasinger. Mr. Crenshaw was their coach. Top: Renee Wasinger speaks about the fed- eral deficit during one of her practice extem- poraneous speeches.

Forensics Academics And Clubs 23 They compete with brains The Quiz Bowl season was typi- fied by early Saturday mornings and long drives. Bronco teams competed in tournaments in Abi- lene, Hays, Phillipsburg, and Dodge City. Throughout the year, teams varied due to scheduling conflicts, but generally, the teams were: Scott Boxberger, Tish Gilpin, Anita Krug, and Daniel Krug, the senior team, and Sonya Brock, An- gie Stinchcomb, Scott McCobb, and Renee Wasinger as the Junior team. Other participants during the year were Luke Nichols and Mike Farmer. This year marked the first year for state sponsored academic tour- naments. The Russell team of Scott Boxberger, Tish, Daniel, and Scott McCobb attended Regional Com- petition at Colby and surprised ev- eryone by bringing home first place. The same team with Mike Farmer as alternate went to Hes- ston to participate in the first State Academic Tournament. Although the team failed to make the finals, they competed well and enjoyed themselves. The successful year was celebrat- ed by a dinner at Coach Marcia Brock's home. The ten team mem- bers spent the evening eating (a fa- vorite past time of the team), and laughing as they reminisced the season.

At the first meeting, Anthony's held a wor- drobe planning seminar during which prizes were given away to registered members. In November the group went to the National Cluster Meeting in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. To raise funds, members held conces- sion stands at the winter sports games. February was a busy month for FHA, as members went to the dis- trict contest at Natoma, where they placed runner-up. In the district elections, Bill Gates was elected District Secretary. FHA week, Feb- ruary 9-13, was celebrated through doing daily special activities, wear- ing flowers, and having a break- fast. After baking in the oven, the pie is ready for the final taste test by Debra Hughs. Miss Mock teaches her students the fine art of pie making. Below, Rosie Dana and Stacy McNeal show the three basic steps in making a pie. 25 Academics And Clubs Building tomorrow today The Russell FFA accomplished many of their goals this year. One of the goals was to achieve a gold medal at district leadership school. The senior office team traveled to Norton to attend the leadership school. There, they gave a demon- stration of opening and closing ceremonies and a procedure dem- onstration. The Russell team was awarded a gold medal for their ac- complishments. With standards set by Mr. Niedenthal, the gold medal enabled the six officers and Mr. Niedenthal to attend the National FFA Convention in Kansas City. Their BOAC program included cleaning up the north and east side of the practical arts building. Also, in the spring, the annual Kiddy Barnyard was held. The FFA alum- ni held their annual consignment auction in April, and the proceeds went to the alumni for new sup- plies and to help fund the alumni- sponsored scholarship given annu- ally to a Vo-ag student.

Key Clubbers this year were seniors Scott Boxberger, Daniel Krug and Jerry Palmer, ju- niors Scott McCobb, Jerad Bachar, Luke Nichols, and Shawn Speere, and sophomore Chris Keys. Key Club is a leadership organi- zation, sponsored by the Kiwanis. Key Club members assisted their parent group by helping with the Halloween parade, an Easter egg hunt, the annual pancake feed and the Junior Olympics. The boys at- tended some of the noontime meet- ings of the elder group to gain ideas for the meetings in school. Key Club was also responsible for the RHS quartet singing on Valentine's Day. Daniel Krug was president this year and Scott Boxberger was secretary. Above: members Luke Nichols, Daniel Krug. Jerad Bachar.

Before becoming involved with the work-study program, students must prepare for the program through taking a work-study prep class. Work-Study 29 Academics And Clubs AFS speaks a foreign language The American Field Service is an organization open to all who have an interest in foreign cultures and lifestyles. Angie Stinchomb was president and activities of the year included playing international games. Some members participated in the AFS Roundup in Manhattan. Hans Jochum spoke to the group and presented slides on his home- land, West Germany, and of Ger- man culture. This year's members included Hans Jochum, Angie Stinchcomb, Renee Wasinger, Sonya Brock, Scott Boxberger, Anita Krug, Mar- sha Radke, Heather Pulis, Andrea Cross, Melissa Sharp, Kendra Smith, Meridith Krug, Vanessa Shaffer, Angela Laurie, Katrina Hill, Debbie Hogan, Kelly Popp, Chris Keys, and Mrs. Merkel, sponsor.

I was surprised there were so many gas stations. In Hans' ho- metown, there are only two, even though the town is larger. Hans' favorite hobbies include soccer, biking, music, and just be- ing lazy, but I don't think that is a hobby. Hans became accustomed to the life at RHS and participated in several activities, including FFA, AFS, Pep Club, Pops Choir, band, Stuco, cross country, football, track, and the school play Bells are Ringing . In addition to school work and activities, Hans also presented sev- eral speeches to civic groups and worked part-time at Klema's IGA. He lived in the country with Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Radke. Hans was surprised everything in Kansas is so wide open and far apart. When Hans returns to Germany to finish his education, RHS stu- dents will miss his jovial attitude, cheerful smile, and sincere friend- ship. Hans tries to hit a low note duirng a Christ- mas caroling session before school Christine Foucault, France, enjoys the com- pany of Hans during Prom. Hans finishes strongly at the Russell Invita- tional Cross Country meet. SOLD! Hans goes for a high price at the StuCo Slave Auction. Hans flashes his familiar Hollywood’ smile. Exchange Student 31 Academics And Clubs The curtain rises . . . In its second year under the sponsorship of Carol Hall, Drama Club was very active in keeping the art of theater alive and well at RHS.

Among their duties are selling lunch tick- ets, answering phones, keeping re- cords, calling students to the office, and doing regular office duties. Never to be overlooked are the custodians of the building. They strive to keep the building in top condition, taking care of leaks, waxing floors, emptying wastebas- kets, replacing lights, and cleaning desk tops. And, while the halls clear at 3:15, these workers shift into high gear. Fixing a nutritious, yet satisfying meal for a family isn't an easy task. But fixing such a meal for hun- dreds of kids, all with different preferences of taste, is almost im- possible. Yet, the kitchen staff faces this task each day. They ar- rive early and set about filling the halls with aromas of baking bread. Among student favorites are chick- en nuggests, turkey and gravy, hamburgers, calzones, and pizza.

The senior year in high school is clearly a very special time because of the activities that are reserved especially for seniors. The laughs, excitement, and tears that are a part of such activities soon transform into vivid memories that are never forgotten.
