Secrets. We all have them. Towns have them. Teachers and students have them. Sometimes things we would like to keep secret don't stay that way, yet oth- ers we would like everyone to know are sometimes the best kept secrets around. This book is designed to break through the TOP SE- CRET codes that tend to deemphasize the outstand- ing details of small town life as it is lived in Satanta, Kan- sas, U.S.A. Before opening a secret file the detective never knows quite what to expect. Just as when our year began we didn't know what unforetold secrets waited instore for us. How many hours would it take to finish that term paper? How many times would we win? How many tears would be shed or lips would be bit over painful losses? Who would become the couple of the year? Whose break-up would cause the greatest stir? What adjust- ments would having a new superintendent bring? Who would be our new teach- ers? How would the juniors meet the continuous chal- lenge of having the best prom ever? Which senior would take top class hon- ors? Would we continue our winning streak in girls' track? And the questions go on ... However, by the time you've read the last page of this book, the secrets will be out. Living in a small com- munity can have its ups and downs, but by keeping some of the good secrets out in the open we can re- member its advantages. The files on our school, our town and our people are now officially opened. Todd Tyler, treshman, won- ders if Miss Johnson's tests are always this hard.

The lifestyle of the students is no secret, for sure. Student Life was greatly displayed during special activities, after school and at other times. Whether messing around on Satanta Day, taking it easy during spare time, getting involved in current events or taking part in extra activities offered by the school, students let everyone know they had nothing to hide.

What is so important that almost every teenager's car is parked in front? What is going on!? What could it be? The Satanta Drive In is like Arnold's, you know the one on 'Happy Days, ' said Rachel Middlebrooks. Arnold's? You might ask. The Drive In has been the hang out place for many students since it was built. After practice, before and after games, students file in to meet casually with their friends. Letter jackets, class rings and homework occu- py the areas around tables filled with teens until about 8 p.m. every week night. It's a tradition to hang out there. Everyone’s hung out there for as long as I can remember, Stephaine Silva said. On some occasions, Anita Wright, the owner. has held dances in the Drive In. It provides a re- laxed atmosphere, and the food and drinks are no problem. Once the door is opened the aroma of food and mix- tures of different colognes splashed on hurriedly after practice hits you like a bomb. Further in, the lively chatter of students, the mu- sic of the juke box, the weird sounds of the video games ( The Black Knight will play you ... Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, ... ) and the loud “Crack! of a pool game being started greet you. “While we're there most people talk and flirt. Every- one's just being sociable, said Michelle Hughan. The Drive In has been used for many purposes, and it's almost like a second home to some high school students. Yes, the Satanta Drive In is our modern day “Arnold's. 6 Drive In “While we’re there most people talk and flirt.

RUMOR HAS IT... What Exactly Does It Have? To believe or not to believe that is the question. Or is it to lis- ten or not to listen? Students were giv- en a chance to voice opinions about rumors and secrets in a sur- vey conducted in Oc- tober. Fifty-nine stu- dents responded of the 105 polled. The most common definition given of a secret was Some- thing not to be repeat- ed by anyone. Something told and retold. It is usually an untruth, was one definition of a rumor. (Another was, It's something that is spread about some- one that sometimes is true and sometimes is not. ) _______ O- Have you ever told someone a secret, and then heard that same secret from someone else later? A. Sixty-nine percent said yes, 24 percent said no, 3 percent said definitely, another 3 percent had no re- sponse and 2 percent said It happened yes- terday. A. Fifty-eight percent said sometimes, 10 percent said no, 9 per- cent said I believe a portion of what I hear, and the re- maining 23 percent had vaious answers. Q. How often do you believe what you hear? A. Seventy-three per- cent said sometimes, 24 percent said often and 3 percent had no response. 0- How many times has a rumor you have spread turned out not to be true? A. Fifty-six percent said 1-5 times, 19 per- cent said 5-10 times, 15 percent said 10 plus times and 10 per- cent said never. Q. Do you think ru- mors are a problem in this town? A. Sixty-nine percent said yes and 31 per- cent said no. Q. Do you believe what you hear?

Karla, do you have bites on your legs, or is it just me? These and many more questions like them were common after a night spent at the Hotel Comprador in Paris, France. France was one of the many places visited this summer by students and faculty. Regions covering various areas of the world were toured. These ranged from Disney World to Portu- gal. Europe and Washing- ton, D.C. were also visited by Satantans. Mr. and Mrs. Mike Tschanz, Karla Feezor and Elisa Stalker toured Europe with the Mid-American Band and Choir group. After two days of rehearsals in Wichita, the tour began in Frankfurt, Germany and ended in London, England. This included Switzerland, Lichtenstein, Austria and France. The highlights of their tour were the Swiss Alps, the Eiffel Tower and Buckingham Palace where the changing of the guard takes place. They agreed that Paris was the most dis- appointing part. Elisa said. Even though it looks like a giant glowing goliball, the Epcot Center holds vast amounts of scientific knowledge. 10 Trips The Redcoats stand prepared for the changing of the guard.

She spent a week in each of these countries with a Na- tional Education Associ- ation group. One of her most memorable moments was getting stuck in an ele- vator in a hotel at Athens, Greece. They have black- outs nearly every day, but even so, I really panicked. 1 was scared to death! Al- though that event stood out in her mind, there were many positive things Ms. Misegadis remembered about her trip. The people are so well educated!” An interesting fact she learned is that Rome has the most fountains of any city in the world, and Kansas City has the second largest amount. In a final statement she said, I'm going back-YES! Crossing the globe to Portugal, Scott and Doug Strano enjoyed a week in Lisbon, the capitol city. Por- tugal had many cultural dif- ferences, yet the cities were much like American cities. They had a lot of different ideas about things, like the bull fights and the women that ran around nude on the beach, Scott said. During the bull fights in Portugal, they don't kill the bull, they just keep stabbing it and let There 's nothing like the pride of Showing that famous smile, the Mona Lisa poses'’ lor another snapshot in the famous French art museum, the Louvre. ... and they ran around nude on the beach. it suffer. Scott said, “I'd go back if I could. Venturing back to the good old U.S.A., several students made trips to other states during the summer of '85. The Slavens went to Florida. Everything's fun! was Sterling's opinion of their trip. Their anticipation of seeing the space shuttle Columbia take off turned to disappointment when a problem stopped the count- down with three seconds re- maining. That was prob- ably the most dissapointing thing. Overall we had an excellent trip. We had lots of fun, he said. 12 Trips Vicky Pickens traveled to Wyoming this summer on a youth choir trip. Sterling and Shannon Slaven went, too. The trip took us all over Wyoming, including Yellowstone Park and Old Faithful. We mostly traveled from place to place and sang, said Vicky. “I'll al- ways remember the beauti- ful scenery. The final voyage of the summer found Christa Kittle and 350 other 4-H teen- agers in Washington, D.C. They came from eight dif- ferent states to the National 4-H Center in Chevy Chase, MD, about eight blocks from D.C. We got to see the Lincoln Memori- al, Botanical Gardens and the Vietnam Memorial, to name just a few. The most exciting moment was when George Bush was at the same concert we were, and he waved back at us when we waved. Christa said the Washington Monument was really neat because you could see it no matter where you went in Washington. Of the trip as a whole, she said, It was like a dream. I still can't believe 1 was real- ly there. As the travelers look back to the summer of '85, they'll be filled with many fond memories. These travels brought and will continue to bring new perspectives to a small town in southwest Kansas. Towering over the city oi lights. the Eiffel Tower is easily recognized.

But there is something unusual about these kids. They're all wearing trenchcoats, as if they are hiding something TOPSECRET. Could it be spirit they're hid- ing? Yes, it is spirit, and lots of it!!! Something was different about homecoming. Many said it was school spirit, a few said it was the beautiful weather, but we all agreed that something was stirring in the air. Each day was assigned a different dress code: Monday- trenchcoat and flasher day; Tuesday-beach bum day; Wednesday-sweats day; Thursday-color day and Friday- dress to kill day. All the days had good participation and prizes were awarded for the best costumes. Stuco sponsored a volleyball tournament. Each class was allowed two teams. The seniors won first with the juniors coming in second. All classes participated and the spirit of competition prevailed. Thursday night was the traditional pep rally. The high- light that night was watching the homecoming escorts feed the queen candidates banana splits. Coach Liebelt called all the football players down and the six seniors told every- one they were going to kick some hooter. The rally ended with the school song and a loud cheer from the football team. The captains olthe volleyball team, Elisa Stalker and Stacey Wilson, explain to the crowd the team's plans lor the following Tuesday. Elisa Stalker. Tammy Troutt, Stacey Wilson.

Lisa McLeland, was selected by the otball team. A pink heart decorated with blue, yellow, pink and purple streamers sat in the middle of the football field anticipating the arrival of the candidates. The sound of Forever in My Heart, the Football Homecoming theme, by Kenny Loggins, filled the pleasant Septem- ber air. Each of the candidates rode in a sports car and was escorted by a senior. Scott Strano was the valet. Shelley Merz, freshman, was escorted by Greg Kell- ing. Melissa Swift, sopho- more, was escorted by Rick Limon. Daren Hockett es- corted Lisa McLeland, ju- nior candidate while Stacey Davis escorted Cindy Blackwood, senior candi- date. Casey Apsley was the crowner. Jennifer Brown was the flower girl and Jer- emy Hale was the crown bearer. After the accom- plishments of the candi- dates were read, Lisa was announced as queen. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that they would announce my name, she said. After the crowning cere- monies the queen and her court were led to the stands where a pink backdrop with the theme printed on it awaited them. Immediately following the game, Stuco sponsored a dance. Doug Brewer of KSCB in Liberal was the D.J. 16 Football Homecoming Homecoming Game Frustrates Desire to Win Tension was thick as the clock wound down the last lew minutes of pre-game warm-up. In an instant the whistle blew, and the Indi- ans began fighting against the Copeland Vikings. All the week's hard work was ready to face the test for the Big Event. It was understandable that the football players felt more pressure than usual for homecoming. They were looking for their first win of the season and de- ciding which girl to ask to the dance, how many mums to buy and which dress-up day was which. Despite a strong effort by the Indians, Copeland took the victory. Because of past incidents we wanted to get even. But we didn't.

Wilson Crowned Win One Lose One As the last few seconds before half-time ticked away, six nervous girls wait- ed impatiently in the weight room for their escorts to ar- rive and the song You Are My Lady to begin. One at a time the candidates and the escorts entered as the audience waited in great anticipation. The freshman candidate was Lisa Oliver. She was es- corted by Sterling Slaven. The sophomore candidates were Stephaine Silva and Vicky Pickens; they were escorted by Vance Oliver and Greg Kelling, respec- tively. The junior candi- dates were Karla Feezor and Sally Black. Their es- corts were Kelly Anthony and Tracy Harlow. The sen- ior candidate was Stacey Wilson, she was escorted by Casey Apsley. The flower girl was Julie Rooney and the crown bearer was Jar- rod Wellman. As the Homecoming court stood in a semicircle facing the tall backdrop decorated by the cheer- leaders and Mrs. Stevens, the crowd heard the an- nouncer, Tammy Troutt, say The 1986 Miss School Spirit is Miss Stacey Wil- son. Crowner, Rick Limon, then placed the crown on her head, gave her the flow- ers and bestowed the tradi- tional kiss. Stacey said, I was very nervous standing out there. Casey was telling me to quit shaking and 'be cool.’ In basketball play the girls scored a 50-47 win over Rolla. The boys suf- fered a 59-60 loss.

Help Make Spirit Week A Hit The entire week of Feb. 3-Feb. 7 was filled with ac- tivities because Miss School Spirit 1986 had arrived. The first day was jam day. Kids showed up in their long shorts and sunglasses ready to party on a beach in Cali- fornia. The next day was tie day. Students dug out their dad's most outrageous tie and wore it to school. Wednesday was pajama day. Mens' pajamas and fuzzy feet pajamas were some of the kinds that were worn. The next day was stuffed animal day. Every- one brought their favorite stuffed critter with them and hugged the day away. Fri- day was dress up day as usual for spirit week. The new activity for Miss School Spirit was a hall decorating contest. Every- day one could look out in the halls during any hour and see someone from some class working on their hall. The cheerleaders chose teachers to judge the halls. The juniors won first with their Plank the Pi- rates hall, the sophomores won second with Indians are in the Fast Lane hall and the freshmen won third with their Let's Party to a Victory” hall. Everyone worked very hard and it was a great suc- cess, said Cindy Black- wood, cheerleader. 19 Heroes Mourned The seven mourned Ameri- can Heroes. Christa McAu- liffe, Gregory B. larvis. Ju- dith A.

America's fifty-sixth manned mission in space turned out to be one of the worst tragedies in the histo- ry of space flights. The space shuttle, Chal- lenger, exploded barely a minute into it's 10th orbital mission. Six astronauts and teacher Christa McAuliffe, the first ordinary Ameri- can to venture into space, were killed. The possibility of sudden death is something that all explorers learn to live with. Watching the film of the shuttle, it shows how fast and how final things can be- come, said legendary test pilot Chuck Yeager, the first man to break the sound bar- rier. So that's why you don't waste your time think- ing about it. Former Filipino President Ferdinand Marcos was ex- iled to Hawaii. Sylvester Stallone and Ivan Drago star in Rocky IV; the return of the American hero. Reign Ends Former Philippine Presi- dent Ferdinand Marcos ruled the Philippines for 20 years. Now his rule has come to an abrupt halt. Cor- azon Aquino, Marcos' chal- lenger, took the oath of of- fice after a long struggle. A stolen election was stopped by the United States, and Marcos was given exile in Hawaii. Summit Talks In late January 1986, Ron- ald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev met face to face for a fireside summit. This meeting was historic by any measure, partly because it was the first summit in more than six years, even more so because the two most pow- erful countries in the world were running out of time to come up with an arms con- trol agreement. Return of Hero Rocky IV seems to have brought the American Hero back to reality. Sylvester Stallone was ready to take on the world with guns, knives, gloves or bare knuckles, whether it be as Rocky or Ram bo. Irv Ivers, marketing president of MGM UA, said, America has always wanted a hero it can identify with. He also said, It was John Wayne. It is Sly Stallone. U.S. Reacts To Terrorism Kaddah, Khadaly, Kadaty. No matter how the press spelled his name, the mere mention ol Muammar Kad- dali spelled terrorism. Enough is enough. So said President Reagan and Congress when a mili- tary air attack was carried out against Libya and its ter- rorizing leader, Muammar Kaddafi. American officials had irrefutable evidence that recent terrorism in West Germany as well as terror- ism directed at tourists was Libyan backed. England was the only Eu- ropean country that was in- tially supportive of U.S. ac- tion against Libya. Israel also backed the U.S. Celebrating the last out with a big hug is third baseman, George Brett and winning pitcher, Bret Saberhagen. AIDS Superstar Rock Hudson made headlines with his fa- tal illness, AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syn- drome). Knowledge of Hud- son's alternate lifestyle came as a shock to many of his longtime fans. The star's illness also raised much concern among actresses who had been in intimate scenes with him. Royals Take Series For the first time in the Kansas City Royals' history they clinched the World Se- ries title. No one expected the Royals to get to the play- offs because of their strug- gle throughout the season. In order to acquire this ti- tle they had to get by the Toronto Blue Jays in the American League Playoffs. It took them seven games to accomplish the right to go to the World Series. Once there they seemed to have lost their sparkle. They were down three games to one to the St. Louis Cardinals. Much to everyone's surprise the Royals came back to tie the series at three games apiece. Leading the Royals was twenty-one year old Bret Saberhagen. This young pitcher was voted American League Cy Young award winner and also the World Series Most Valuable Play- er. In the final game George Brett came through with four hits along with Darryl Motley's homerun which started the eleven to zero shutout to capture the World Series title in the fi- nal game. Motley also made the final out in the seventh game by catching a fly ball. I think this was one of the most classic World Se- ries in the history of base- ball. The Royals came back from three games to one, to win the series. I've been a lifelong Royals fan and I'm happy they finally won the series, said Konrad Myr- ick, an avid Royals fan.

Traditions Stand Satanta Day Hasn't Changed Cars on Main Street and people everywhere. Those were two of the reasons that most teenagers in Satanta liked Satanta Day. It all started on Friday night with a country west- ern concert at the high school auditorium. Then on Saturday morning there was an Old Timers' Break- fast prepared by the men at the Methodist Church. After that was the Satanta Day Fun Run sponsored by the Satanta Recreation Commission. The traditional ceremony of Chief and Princess Sa- tanta took place that morn- ing before the parade. The parade was one of the high- lights of the day for most people, but for the teen- agers it became a little te- dious. Most teenagers would agree that their fa- vorite part of Satanta Day was the dance that night. Satanta is a very small town and it's hard to find things to do. Satanta Day brings about many activities for the teenage population to do,” said Kim Noble. The high school marching band marches in the parade at Satanta Day. The traditional ceremony tor the incoming Chief and Princess took place in the middle of Main Street. The outgoing Chief and Princess were Casey Apsley and Christa Kittle. The incoming Chief and Princess are Roger Taton and Stephanie Barker. Satanta Day 23 Mrs. Dunn, my program won't work on my comput- er. I think it hates me! Mr. Troutt, the guy who wrote this book probably had no idea what government was. 1 sure hope we don't have anything to do in activity. I haven’t studied for my vocab test.” There will be an FCA meeting at 8 o'clock in the morning. The activity for today will be a full Kayette meeting. “We have to leave at 5 a.m.? Challenging and fun. Those are two words that de- scribe classes and groups. Whether it was a government test to take or a FCA meeting to attend students some- how found time to do what they wanted and or needed to do. If it wasn't one class it was another. There were always jobs to be done and not enough time to do them. Most students involved themselves in more than one group and that provided for a busy year. 24 Classes - Groups TABLE OF CONTENTS Speech, Business 26-27 History, Geography 28 Government 29 Math, Computer 30-31 Sciences 32-33 Drivers Ed., P.E. 34-35 English 36 Psychology, Spanish 37 Art 38-39 Home Economics 40-41 Industrial Arts 42-43 Annual Staff 44 Photo Staff 45 Band 46-47 Music 48-49 Debate 50-51 Forensics 52-53 Kayettes 54 Stuco 55 National Honor Society 56 FCA 57 FFA 58 VO AG 59 Carrying the bass drum was a new experience lor Elisa Stalker this year in marching band. Classes-Groups 25 Expectations Variety Sparks Interest Expectations. Everyone has their ex- pectations of their classes before they actually begin, and freshmen were no ex- ception. 1 thought speech class was going to be noth- ing but giving speeches and no fun, said Darcy Mclver, but after I had speech it wasn't like that at all. It was fun! Most of the freshmen agreed with Darcy that it was fun but they still learned something about giving speeches. Lisa Oli- ver said, My favorite speech was the demonstra- tion because we got to eat. Besides demonstrations, the freshmen had to give an informative speech, a per- suasive speech and an en- tertaining speech. The en- tertaining speech was fun but it was the hardest to do because the jokes wouldn't go with the topic you were trying to talk about, said Andy Clawson. Panel discussions were also used in speech class. First a topic was chosen for discussion, then a group of students offered their opin- ions about that subject. On most of the speeches students were graded on the content of the speech and also how well they pre- sented it. Although speech class wasn't quite what the fresh- men had expected, they all agreed that they had fun and learned about public speaking. Step into my kitchen says Mike Zizza as he demonstrates how to make breaded veal cutlets. Coming to the rescue. Cookie Monster helps Tory Ramsey make chocolate chip cookies, as she demonstrates this to the speech class. 26 Speech Running a small business, this requires skills that range from secretarial duties to accounting skills. These skills are taught to students by Mrs. Mary McGowan. It was hard at first to remember to set the margins and which letter style was which, said Typing I student Shari Honsby. The typing classes learned how to type the three different kinds of business letters and how to type unbound and bound reports. My favorite part of typing is the composing of a story. We type for three minutes then pass it to the next person. You never know how your story will turn out, said Typing I student Rachel Middlebrooks. My favorite part of Accounting was when we did the business books. It was like we were real accountants, said senior Kay Lopez. How to do a payroll, income tax forms and run a business were just some of the things learned. A representative from Brown Mackey College gave a lecture to the class on the many opportunities for an accountant. Although everyone worked hard at learning these skills, no one forgot to have fun They laughed at things like Marc Anton's sneeze that left his gum on his typewriter and Casey Apsley's constant teasing of Mrs. McGowan.

Business 27 Coach Bill Stevens displays that famous “Mildcat'' smile. Variety Adds Spice Completing tomorrow's assignment Kelly Anthony, Derek Stevens, Karla Feezor and Lisa McLeland work on their history. Various ways to teach American History exist, and Mr. Bill Stevens has used several of them. Showing films on the VCR, doing map studies and playing the current events game are just a few. All of these things tend to help students understand history better. Current events is my favorite activity because you learn some- thing and have fun at the same time, said Stephanie Myrick. When the history class studied slavery and the Civil War, they had a slave auction. This helped the students have a better understanding of what slaves had to go through and how they were treated. When the history class studied the Pilgrims they held a mock town meeting. Each student was given a character such as the town crier, the parson, the town tax collector or the keeper of pigs. The students had a chance to express their opinions on town policy and town rules. This helped the students to understand more about the Pilgrims who founded our country. A new addition was ad- ded to the social studies program. This course is ge- ography. It was added be- cause of the new credit re- quirement in the social studies area. Students must now have three years of so- cial studies instead of two. In geography students not only learned where countries were but they also learned how to use a map and how to find places on a map. 28 History Understanding Seniors Become Informed Trying to understand our American government sys- tem is probably the most ex- asperating experience a senior goes through. There are so many details and loopholes to everything in government. That's what makes it hard to under- stand, said Sterling Slaven. Whether it was memorizing the amendments or trying to understand the constitution the seniors kept busy in government class. Income tax forms were Scott Strano think he knows the answer to the question, but Mary Shivers. Steph- anie Lighty, Denise Har- ding. Rick Limon, Kay Lo- pez and Tammy Wheeler have their doubts. Watch them grow. The gov- ernment classes collection ol cans make a colorful ad- dition to Mr. Troutt's room. another complicated mat- ter. Trying to figure out when to use what tax form is a job in itself. Itemized de- ductions, dependent chil- dren, donations and ex- emptions where other things that had to be dealt with. Occasionally Mr. Troutt would take a break from the book and would let the sen- iors discuss a current event. Topics of discussion ranged from the bombing of Libyan ships to the terrorist attacks on American tourists to the justice system's punishment of juveniles. In order to keep up with local events, seniors were required to attend one city council meeting. The senior who attended the meeting then had to give a report to the class on that meeting. Some very interesting to- pics of discussion came up during these reports. The seniors had a very unusual project going on in Mr. Troutt's room. The Great Wall of Cans was an appropriate name for this project. When this was completed there were ap- proximatley 444 cans in all. The wall took up one-half of Mr. Troutt's chalkboard. It was twelve rows high and thirty-seven cans long. After this was completed the sen- iors took a day off to crush them so Mr. Troutt could cash them in. Government 29 Computers And Math A Changing Equation Two plus two equals four. This math problem is one that every school student learns to do at a very early age. As people get older they are exposed to harder problems and subjects which take more time to un- derstand. When a student enters high school he be- gins figuring out square roots and what 2x-3x + 5 equals. In the last few years students in Satanta High School have been intro- duced to a new kind of math class. Computer math and advanced computer math are now a part of the every day schedule at achool. With thirteen com- puters and access to them, students who enter this class enter for many different reasons. If 1 go to college it will We're dll in this class because we like working on computers.'' help in doing papers on the computers, said David Jones. In order to work well on a computer you must also enjoy working on them. The computer classes learn how to draw pictures and graphs and work out prob- lems on the computer. We're all in here because we like working with com- puters, said Derek Ste- vens. Along with the computer class there are also the usual math classes that most stu- dents take. Algebra is taught in three different classes. These classes con- sist of pre-algebra, Algebra I and Algebra II. Most stu- dents do enjoy the algebra classes, but they don't like the homework. The one thing I don't like about Al- gebra II is doing the home- work, said Karla Feezor. This reaction is common in all classes. The other math courses were geometry and ad- vanced math. The geometry class is mainly taken by sophomores. I took this class because I needed math credits and the other option was general math which I had already taken, said Stephaine Silva. Ad- vanced math was taken by two seniors. As the years go on, the math area will con- tinue to extend into other areas besides computers. Though technology makes society progress and our classes change, students will always have to adjust, but one thing will always re- main true. Two plus two will always equal four. Triangles and congruent angles didn't seem to be one of the geometry classes' top priorities. Surely advanced math can t be that funny. It looks like Stacey Davis has some pretty hilarious equations to tell Stephanie Lighty about. 30 We re losing our minds' The Algebra I students take time out to make some great expressions. Computers are being used more and more at school. Not only are they used for math but seniors also can study for the ACT with the help of the computer. David lones.in advanced computers, seems to have no problem running his program. Computer disks were a very important part of math classes this year. They were used in computer math and advanced computer math classes. Some of the Pre- Algebra students seem to be working very hard on their tests. Could it be others are stanng into space or maybe at the camera? Math 31 It's hard to tell what Mr. McGowan is doing in this picture. From the looks on David Young and Stacey Davis's face, maybe it's better not to ask. Cleaning out the hamster cage doesn't seem to be one of Shane Seaton's favorite things to do. It must not be something Marc Anton likes to do either because he's not lending Shane a hand. 32 Animal Farm Experiments Captivate Students Attention all students! A hamster was just seen rolling down the hallway in a plastic ball. Would the owner please get him and put him back in his cage. He's running into walls and people. This probably could have been an announcement made had our teachers been upset about the furry rodents that were rolling up and down the hall at the first of the year. One might won- der where these animals came from and what they were doing in the school. The sophomore class can be held responsible. In their biology class the students brought hamsters, mice, guinea pigs, lizards, fish and a snake. Some of the sophomores had success with their projects while others saw their pets die. Of course, there was a purpose Real Life The main purpose of the animal farm was to see how different animals adapt to various environments. to the animal farm these stu- dents put together. The main purpose of the animal farm was to learn how dif- ferent animals adapt to var- ious environments, said Jeff McLeland. Many of the students had a lot of fun with the animal farm. On many occasions one could find hamsters or mice and their owners rac- ing up and down the hall- ways. The most fun I had was letting the mice run around in the plastic balls, said Vicky Pickens. Eventually the animal farm had to end. Though some of the students didn't want it to end so soon others felt a sense of relief when it was over. It was fun at first, but after a while it got old, said Michelle Hughan. This was a very unigue science class since this project had never been done before. The other science classes were not raising or feeding animals. The general sci- ence class was a required class taken only by fresh- men. The other two classes consisted of chemistry and physics. Chemistry was tak- en by only juniors while physics was taken by two seniors. Each science class taken is never like the other. In science, there is always something new to learn and another avenue to explore. Science can be fun just as any other class can be when you put your imagination to work and do something really different. The sopho- more biology class proved that learning and fun can coincide. This hamster must be exhaust- ed h-om rolling up and down the ..alls and running into peo- ple. Multi talentedRoger Taton can study his chemistry and do his King Tut imitation at the same time. Red Light, Green Light Freshmen Go Cruisin' Turn left. Now be sure and use your blinker. Don't use your left toot on the brake. Stay in your lane!! As one would probably guess these are things one would hear quite often in driver's ed. Driving doesn’t come easy for all people to learn, but for others it's a cinch. Many of the driver's ed students found driving very easy. I really enjoyed driving. It was easy because I already knew how to drive, said Shelly Merz. Though riding around in a car every day for an hour listening to the radio can be fun, there is also work in- volved in this class. Each student learns how to We're just cruisin''. It looks like the driver's ed students in this car are all ready tor today's drive. I really enjoyed driving. It was easy because I already knew how to drive. change a tire, change the oil, and they also learn the parts of the engine. Driver's ed is a required course that must be taken by all freshmen. Even though most of the students have already been taught the basics of driving by their parents, there is still much more to learn. As with all classes, there were some things the stu- dents didn't like about dri- ver's ed. The class always went so fast and so did the tests. 1 didn't like that part, said Lisa Oliver. The stu- dents were also required to build a model of their choice in order to help them learn the parts of the car. Basically, the freshmen thought driver's ed was a pretty good class. To them, in the end, it finally pays off. At last they get to say, Dad, can I borrow the car. 34 Driver's Ed My muscles hurt so bad. I will never be able to get up again once I lay down. Never again will I ever watch lane Fonda. As one can tell, this per- son is in extreme pain all over. To be sure, the saying No pain no gain is no comfort to this person at the moment. In all P.E. classes though, aerobics was used as a form of getting in shape. This year one of the different combinations was aerobics in the weightlifting class. All too often aerobics has been thought of as too much of a sissy thing to do for guys to even think about attempting it. But at the be- ginning of class every day Aerobics and Pumping Iron Students Combine Both For Fitness I didn't mind it too much. But it did make me sore. the weightlifters turned on Jane Fonda or some other energetic person and put their muscles to the test. Also, the guys, though they felt awkward sometimes, made it through the class with only a few pulled mus- cles. I didn't mind it too much. But it did make me sore, said Greg Kelling. Aside from the guys, the girls didn't do too badly ei- ther. They pulled muscles and stetched painfully right along beside the guys and they were just as sore. I pulled muscles in places I didn't even know 1 had muscles, said Lisa Doerfler. Aside from the aerobics the students did find time to lift weights. The program they were on wasn't to make you look husky but rather to tone up the muscles. On the slow days the weightlifters would get a break and may- be play some basketball. All of the other P.E. classes used aerobics also. Leisure activities class used aerobics quite a bit at the first of the year. Only four people took the class, but it still consisted of various fun activities. Those sports in- cluded tennis, ping pong, golf, shuffle board, badmit- ten, volleyball and pool. The other P.E. class in the afternoon did similar things except for running quite a bit more and working out a little harder. Every year something different will be done differently to make the classes more beneficial to fitness. Aerobics and weightlifting are just a few of the things that people can do to stay in shape. If all else fails, turn on Jane Fonda and get ready for .... “And one and two and lift and stretch. One and two and one and two. This year aerobics was a part ot every P.E. class including this weightlifting class. P.E. 35 Textbooks Aren't Always Best Habla en Espanol es muy dificil, pero no es de- masiado, said Kim Noble. In English this sentence means, “Speaking in Span- ish is very difficult but it isn't too much. To most stu- dents this sentence would mean nothing. But not to the students taking Spanish I. Repetitive teaching is one of the techniques that Mr. Duncan Boutwell uses in his class. This is used many dif- ferent ways such as working on the chalkboard, reading from the textbook and inter- perting actual dialogue from a Spanish television station. “In order to really speak Spanish well you have to think in Spanish. Once you accomplish this you can understand and ap- preciate it, said Mr. Boutwell. Mr. Boutwell also plans to offer a Spanish II class if it can be fit into the schedule. Psychology is another class that Mr. Boutwell teaches. This class deals with the study of individual human behavior. Each stu- dent is his own textbook. He can study himself and learn more than any textbook can teach, said Mr. Boutwell. Class rap sessions are very popular with the students. When one of these rap sess- sions is going on there are three rules that are followed by the students. The first one is that no one can change the subject unless everyone agrees. The sec- ond one is that no one can talk while someone else is talking. The last is that ever- ything that is said is kept in the classroom. All of these rules help students to un- derstand and respect the opinions and feelings of others. Psychology has been offered as a course for several years. Trying to figure out what Kim Noble is saying in Spanish are Sterling Slaven, Mary Shivers and Rosemary Stapleton. Spanish and Psychology Prepares Students For College Walking down the halls, one could see students working on research papers every free minute that could be found. Research papers require many hours of strenuous work. The average junior or senior spent 25.32 hours on their paper out of class and in class. The best part of doing the research paper was go- ing to the Dodge City Li- brary,” said junior, Stan Reimer. Mrs. Jury's junior English class and Mrs. Steven's sen- ior English clas took a re- search trip to the Dodge City Library. The day was spent finding much needed resources. The average number of sources used was fourteen. Trying to ligure out what source belongs to which footnote is quite confusing to Stephanie Barker and her Baby Doll. Mrs. Stevens reads the an- swers to a quiz as Casey Apsley, Sterling Slaven, Tracy Harlow, Stacey Wil- son and David Jones check their papers. Spending all those hours on the research papers made tempers flare at those dastardly papers. Most stu- dents got rid of the an- gries” the same way as ju- nior, Stephanie Myrick. ‘T rip out my paper, tear it up, wad it up, and then throw it away. Only the bad copies though. Almost all students felt as senior, Kay Lopez, The best part was handing the research paper in. Everyone knows how much this research paper will mean to them in the fu- ture. Senior, Tracy Harlow pretty much sums it up. The research paper will help me when I go to col- lege. I know how to set one up and how to get one done without a lot of pain. English 37 Misegadis' Last Year Eight Years of Teaching There are two thing that I love to do, teach and go to school. After eight years of teaching here, I have the opportunity to do both things I love. 1'U be leaving here and going to Hays, said Ms. Lois Misegadis. As she finished her speech at Class Night, a burst of applause came as the students and parents gave a standing ovation. We gave her a standing ovation because it was the only way we could show her that we appreciated her, said sophomore Vicky Pick- ens. The art program has pros- pered and students re- turned from many art shows with top honors. ihere are two things that I love to do, teach and go to school. The students tried a little bit of everything from clay and acrylic to wood and printing. A special guest, Mrs. Harlow, gave a dem- onstration on stained glass. I didn't like doing the stained glass because I cut myself, but other than that it was pretty fun, said junior Robin Bailey. The art club held its an- nual art show again this year. The show has in- creased in size from three to five schools. The club mem- bers sent out letters to schools, ordered the medals and certificates, set up the exhibit and made sure that everything was running along smoothly. This was the last art show here for Ms. Misegadis. I wish she wouldn't go, but it’s about time she did some- thing for herself instead of for us, said sophomore Wade Sunderland. Students participated in shows at Fort Hays, Deer- field and the Satanta Invita- tional. Students also en- tered the Satanta Day Win- dow Display Contest. Win- ners were Mike Zizza and John Rangel, first; Robert Yeadon and Cindy Clark, second and Mary Shivers and Kay Lopez, third. In the second annual Stu- dent Body judging of stu- dent art Mary Shivers took first with The Old Indian. Robin Bailey placed second with Solitary Sunset and third with Solitaire.

Chocolate milk expert Trav- is Apsley thinks his is great, but David Young doesn't look quite so satisfied with the taste of his. Career Experience Not Just A Bunch Of Bologna The room is filled with the aroma of pies cooking and in the other room one can hear the buzzing of a sew- ing machine. • No, it's not the sounds of someone's home. It is the sounds and smells drifting down the hall from the home ec rooom. When one thinks of home ec, it is usually assumed that all there is to the class is sewing and cooking. In Mrs. Laas' class much more is involved. The students learn about nutrition. They're taught a course in sex education, and this year the Home Ec III students did a new project. Each stu- dent was sent to a business in town to work for an hour each day. Many things were learned by each student. 1 got a lot of experience in I got a lot of experience in each business. There's more to the business than just trying to sell the stuff. each business. There's more to a business than just trying to sell the stuff, said Kay Lopez. A unique aspect of these jobs was that the students were not paid for the work they were doing. It was meant only to be a learning experience to prepare them for their future careers. Some people might think this factor would bother the students, but that was not the case. It didn't bother me because we only worked for an hour, and we learned a lot, said Sally Black. On the job the students found themselves doing many different things. One week they would find them- selves frying hamburgers, and the next week they might be making flower ar- rangements. Altogether all the students said it was a worthwhile experience that they thought would defi- nitely help them later on in life. Besides the Home Ec III class there are others. The Jr. High home ec classes learn the basics of cooking, and they also sew different kinds of pillows and outfits. Home Ec 1 students learn about nutrition, how to care for a baby of sex education. In some of the other classes they get to do fun and taste- ful things like cake decorat- ing. Each class has its own unique activities. It's not only a class of home mak- ing, but it is many other things too. The Home Ec I students. Sterling Slaven, David Jones, Tonya Hall, ShaNawn Rollins. Loreanne Sis- trunk, Sherrona Wood. Lisa Oli- ver, Shelly Merz, and Darci Silva, are trying to look enthused about the lesson tor the day, but it looks like Mrs. Laas is getting all the en- joyment out of it. Home Economics 41 Workinq With Wood No Special Talent Required Making things out of wood might seem hard to most people. This is not the case for those students in industrial arts. These students learn how to make a variety of things. Starting out in junior high the students may build a ce- dar chest. As they progress by the time they're about out of high school, they may be making waterbeds or bookshelves. Though these may seem like hard things to build one student didn't think so. It doesn't take much talent at all to do the things we do in here, said Tracy Harlow. The students in wood class are required to buy It doesn't take much talent at all to do the things we do in here. their own materials them- selves while using the school's equipment. Three or four things may be made each year by each student. Sometimes the students in wood will make a wa- terbed or bookshelf for one of their friends in school or they may give them to their parents as a gift. It is much cheaper for us to make a bed or something instead of someone going out and buying the same thing, said Casey Apsley. Wood shop is a class that is often ignored and taken for granted. Many students don't realize how much fun they can have and the vari- ety of things they can make. It is something several peo- ple in school have tried and liked. This class is also not just a class for the guys. No girls took wood shop this year, but they have in pre- vious years. It's not a limited class or something that only the skilled can handle. It's a class for .... well, it's for everyone. It doesn I look like Daren Hockett thinks this is a very good time for a picture. Hammer in hand, Justin Fry is de- liberating where to hit first. 42 Sawing awdy. Charlie Stapp, Jeff McLeland, Todd Tyler and Lonte Dillon are busy building something else. By the look on Wade Sunderland's face one has to wonder if he's just done something that Rod Brooks should be aware of. Industrial Arts 43 We're All In This Together. New Staff Concept Formed Experiments and secrets. A combination of in-class and out-of-class annual staff members proved to be a successful way to enlarge the staff, create a new annu- al and meet deadlines. “It really helped to have so many people on staff this year, when everyone did their part things ran smooth- ly; until the day before a deadline of course, Christa Kittle, editor said. “Being able to be on the staff and still have a full schedule was one of the benefits of being an out-of- class staff member, said Stephanie Myrick. Kim No- ble, Sue Sprenkle and Me- lissa Swift were the three annual staff members who attended summer camp at Lindsborg. While there they learned how to do lay- outs and how to actually put an annual together. The first big event for the annual staff was the big sales campaign. They kicked it off with a skit for the whole student body. In order to draw people's at- tention the slogan “We're All In This Together was used. The next task that laid be- fore the annual staff was the selling of advertising to Sa- tanta, Sublette, Garden City, Liberal and Ulysses businesses. This took two days and lots of hard work. All work and no play is definitely not in the annual staff's vocablulary. The first worknight showed that. In order to meet the first dead- line an all-night work night was planned. It began at 9 p.m. and ended at 7 a.m. During that time the annual staff mananged to have a good time and meet the deadline. Despite wheel- chair wrecks, talking on the intercom and sliding up and down the halls in socks, much was accomplished. Members ot the 1986 Chieftain Annual stafi were ShaNawn Rawlins, helper, Cindy Blackwood, academ- ics editor, Kim Noble, business manager, Christa Kittle, editor, Stephanie Myrick, stall wnter, Elisa Stalker, sports editor. Sue Sprenkle, staff writer, Melissa Swift, people editor, Vicky Pickens, staff wnter and Karla Feezor. sports editor. 44 Annual Representing most areas of aca- demic and athletic areas, the annu- al staff tells the student body that the yearbook is for everyone. We’re All In This Together the yearbook YEA!!! 4? Together . . . The photography staff was a necessity to the annu- al staff. These three people helped take, develop and print pictures for the annual staff. They usually could be found at basketball games, pep rallies, and roaming the halls with a camera around their neck ready to snap a picture if a good one should turn up. Many times a last minute photo assignment would be turned in and with the phographers' help the spread was completed. Dependability is a good word to describe this group of photographers. Working together was an important part of producing an annual. The annual staff and the photography staff seemed to have no problem with this. We're All In This Together was an appropri- ate description of the work that was put into the annual to make it as good as possi- ble. Say cheese, Jenni. Jenni Reed was The 1966 Chieftain photography staff members include Sally Black, Jenni Reed and Charles Stapp. This one of three photographers who was their first year on staff, helped to capture memories for the annual.

Everybody knows about the many sides of the Satanta High School Band. Starting out the year the band began all dressed in green. This started out their marching season. Practic- ing was very essential for the success in this season. Marching took a lot of hard work. Marching band is okay, but it isn't my favor- ite, said Marc Anton. Per- forming the half-time show at the home football games was only one of the march- ing events the band did. The band also went to Buck- lin when the football team played the Bucklin Aces. It was a unique experience, said Stephaine Silva. The end of the marching band's Pep band is my favorite season. The music is more popular. season ended at basketball season but started again two weeks before Satanta Day. Marching season finally ended after the band per- formed in the Satanta Day Parade. Pep band and a little con- cert and jazz band was next in the season. Pep band is my favorite season. The mu- sic is more popular, said Clarissa Taton. The band played at almost all the var- sity basketball games. The members seemed to really enjoy being there to root and play for their team. The band even made up a cheer to yell after they played the school song. The cheer was Yeah band, yeah band, Go, Go, Go!!! The band did go. They went into concert band and jazz tribe season. This part of the year was packed full of excitement and work. Mr. Tschanz found the music he wanted the band to play for competitions. After the band got started on concert pieces, they rarely took a break. All of the hard work finally paid off when the band went to league and re- ceived a one. Later on the band received a two at State. Closing up the year, the band played a mini-con- cert at graduation along with the processional and recessional. Christa Kittle received the Louis Armstrong Award and Sterling Slaven re- ceived the John Philip Sou- sa Award. SHS band members were First: Shelly Merz, Vicky Pickens. Stephaine Silva, Sue Sprenkle.

Band 47 Making Changes Music Members Learn To Readjust Changing played a major part in the music depart- ment from the junior high chorus to the special jazz choir, Odyssey. We just weren't ready for all the changes Mr. Le- Vasseur had in mind, said sophomore Sue Sprenkle. First year teacher, Mr. Gene LeVasseur, was con- fronted with many chal- lenges. One big change that was made was in Odyssey. In the years past Odyssey was a select group of singers who simply sang songs. Od- yssey not only sang but they also added a little bit of dance to the rhythm. This new dimension added to the demand of their perfor- mances at area clubs. Other music classes We just weren't ready for all the changes Mr. LaVasseur had in mind. helped to add to the har- mony drifting from SHS. General music consisted of all girls except for Dustin Hockett. The class partici- pated in contests and also were in the League Mass Choir. The League Mass Choir was really neat. I wasn't the only guy, said Dustin. League Mass Choir consist- ed of eight school choirs. They practiced the songs before the performance date and had one full day of practice together before performing it in public. Even though there were many changes throughout the year, they were on the way to being accepted to- ward the end of the year. Everyone was striving to do their best.

In years past, Satanta has had the reputation of ending the season with top honors, such as placing in the top two at Regionals and going on to State. This year was a year of several changes. Aside from the inexperienced team, the debate program also acquired help from Mrs. Stevens who assisted Mr. Laas in coaching this years debate team. With such an unexperienced team, there were a few doubts lingering in the air. Even though the novice thought about the pressure Tammy Troutt, a novice said, We didn't feel any extra pressure. We went out We didn't feel any extra pressure. We went Qut to see what novice debaters could do. Anything accomplished was a feat.'' to see what novices could do. Anything accomplished was a feat. With just one experienced debater, it was impossible for the novice to acquire extra knowledge by watching experienced de- baters pratice. Though they didn't have this added benefit, the novice still be- lieved they learned how to think on their feet. Also, the debaters thought their knowledge of what was go- ing on in the world was in- creased. As the season pro- gressed, it was obvious that the inexperience worried about at first could not stand in the team's way. The de- baters placed well at each tournament, and at every tournament one could see the progress being made. Finally, it came time for the Regional Tournament at Sublette. The competition was tough, but the debaters came through with a record of 13-1. That record was good enough to put Satanta first, just ahead of Lakin. Once again the debaters took off for State hoping to do their very best. Though they didn't place in the top three, they were very proud of their sixth place finish to wrap up the season. Exper- ienced debater, Cindy Blackwood said, ‘T was very impressed with our debat- ers. They pulled together like I never thought novice could. I'm really proud of all of them. “ This year was viewed as a rebuilding year. The debat- ers were put to the test with their inexperience and once again pulled through.

Debate 51 Inexperienced Team Place Second at State Being inexperienced doesn't mean a team will be uncompetitive. The new fo- rensic team this year was a very strong one. There were three experienced students and sixteen inex- perienced. Even though they were a. young team, they did great at every tour- nament they attended. Re- ceiving first or second at ev- ery tournament was one of their biggest accomplish- ments. Having such a big squad made it possible to send the best people to the competitions, and it also made it possible to have a full slate of entries. Working hard in foren- sics comes naturally.

For- ensics helped me to speak in front of people, said Ra- chel Middlebrooks. Other than the normal tournaments some of the fo- rensic team attended a tour- nament at Thomas Moore Prep in Hays. This tourna- ment was in a new league called the National Catholic Forensics League. It was a new and interesting exper- ience, said Derek Stevens. The forensic team compet- ed with bigger schools and harder competiton. All of the students that went to TMP really enjoyed being there. We even got to see their sacrifice altar. That was neat, said Rachel Middle- brooks. This tournament was just a trial to see if the forensic team wanted to go into the NCFL along with the league they are in new. All of the hard work the students did paid off. On May 9th the students that qualified for State cham- pionships headed for Sali- na. It was a long day for all of the students, but each one of them held in there until the end. When it got down to who would go into finals, the team had six en- tries make it. The race was so close at the end no one knew who would come out on top. The team ended up getting second overall to put the finishing touches on a successful season.

Forensics 53 Keys Serving Keeps Opening New Doors Kayettes unlocked the door to service this year. What exactly is service? “Service is people helping other people, according to Tammy Troutt. Each year the club has to pick at least one activity for each of the four parts of their service. Looking over this year, the Kayettes did many different things for the school. They started out well by taking the responsi- bility of changing the mar- guee each week to show the weekly activities and put up a new bulletin board every month. The Kayettes did many other jobs such as cleaning the trophy cases and handing out programs at graduation. One of the most exciting activities that the Kayettes did this year First; Ton Ramsey. Denise Harding Tammy Troutt. Shelley Merz, Lisa Oliver. Second: Darci Silva, Cindy Blackwood, vice president; Vicky Pickens, Sue Sprenkle, Marina Hernandez. Third; Mrs. Karen Jury. Stephanie Myrick, Lisa McLe- land, secretary; Kay Lopez, presi- dent; Shari Hornsby. Kris Cortez, Jenni Reid, Ms. Lois Misegadis. Service is people helping other people. was to plan the sweetheart dance. The Kayettes deco- rated, made the refresh- ments, and hired a D.J. Having an adopted grandmother was really special. For a community project the Kayettes adopt- ed grandmother, Goldie Winn, who lives at the nurs- ing home. If going to Gol- die Winn's birthday party and visiting her at different times didn't keep them busy, then the other pro- jects certainly did. The Grandparents' Night was a part of their calendar in April. Even though the calen- dar was full there always seemed to be time for the Ma Pa Me Supper. Each Kayette brought her parents and they installed officers. Each year the Kayettes at Christmas time send out Christmas cards to the ser- vicemen. Some of the girls got letters back from the se- vicemen that they chose. This was their national pro- ject. The Kayettes world projects included trick-or- treating for care and having an adopted child in Jamai- ca. Around Halloween the Kayettes took little kids around to different houses to pick up money for CARE. Having an adopted child made many of the Kayettes think about the needy. The Kayettes sent money to their little girl each month. They also received letters from her and sent her letters and pictures. 54 Kayettes Exchange Stuco Members Visit Ingalls Exchanging students with Ingalls was a new and excit- ing experience for the Stu- dent Council. This mixed up day oc- curred April 23. Satanta's Stuco sent about seven members to Ingalls and around eight of Ingalls' members came to observe our school. It was just like a normal day of school, said Shane Seaton. The Stuco members from Ingalls went to class with someone in their grade. They observed our classes and our facilities. Stuco president, Sterling Slaven, set up a meeting with the Satanta Stuco members that were left and the Ingalls members to dis- cuss the different things done in the two clubs. It was an interesting exper- It was just like a normal day of school. ience, said Lisa Oliver. The Stuco exchange was only one of the many activi- ties that the Stuco was re- sponsible for. A new activity that the Stuco sponsored this year was a toy drive with a Christmas dance. In December everyone was finding a toy to take to the dance tht night so that they could get into the dance. The toys were the admission to get into the dance. All of the toys went to the needy families for Christmas pre- sents. It was a really neat idea, said Tammy Troutt. The Stuco Christmas was a big hit. Along with those two ma- jor activities Stuco had many other projects. Put- ting up and decorating the Christmas tree has beenan annual event for the Stuco. They also show movies many times during the year. The Stuco kept busy enter- taining the student body. One might wonder what Stuco has been really about. Do they just provide fun for the school? Stuco is a service to the student body. They oversee certain activities done in the school. A major service that Stuco does for our school has beenoffering the pop and candy machines. They also sell mums at homecoming and generally do something special for Valentine's Day. The money that Stuco makes goes to different ac- tivities and two hundred dollars of it goes to a schol- arship for a senior. This year the scholarship went to Sta- cey Wilson.

NHS shows that students can be busy with many ac- tivities and still give their all to their studies, said junior Stephanie Myrick. Every member was cho- sen by a panel of judges after an application was completed by chosen stu- dents. There are four main traits the judges consider, they are scholarship, lead- ership, character, and ser- vice,” said Michelle Hughan. The club is based on these four traits. Scholarship means commitment to study; leadership, going for- There are four traits the judges consider. ward when others hesitate; character, individuality and service, willingness to work without recognition. Raising money for schol- arships was a way the group expressed its concern about helping seniors pursue their education after high school. “We've held two bake sales and raffled an afghan in order to raise money for scholarships. These scholar- ships will aid seniors who are college bound and need financial help, said sophomore Tammy Troutt. NHS scholarships in the amount of two hundred dol- lars each were given to Christa Kittle, Stacey Davis and Sterling Slaven. 56 National Honor Society Quit? Too Busy to Come? Quitting is not in the vo- cabulary of the members of the FCA group. At one of the spring meetings held in the morn- ing, it was brought up that members were too busy to come, and since no one was showing up on time FCA should not be held the rest of the year. Sophomore, Marc Anton, quickly spoke up without a moment's hesitation and said, Well, 1 think if we quit now it would be like the people who don't come to church because they are too busy. It's just a bad ex- cuse. There was not even a need to vote on the matter. The fighting spirit arose in everyone to show people why people joined FCA. I think if we quit now it would be ... a bad excuse. “We would have definite- ly missed something if it had stopped. There's no other club like it, said junior Lisa McLeland. What makes this club special enough that the members would not let it di- minish? It's a time when you can be together with friends that share the same beliefs about God as you do. We give each other support when things are going good but mostly when things are real- ly going terrible, said sen- ior Christa Kittle. Raffling off a football, vol- leyball and boys' and girls' basketballs were the main money making projects. This provided money for the refreshments that were served at the meetings. FCA members this year were First: Melissa Hughan. Tera Kittle, Leanne Oliver, Cassie Musgrave, Roni lo Wheeler.

The majority of the junior and senior high stu- dent population was involved in some form of sport activity including football, volleyball, basket- ball, track and cheerleading.

Sports Sports Frustration A Dismal Season Hangs On For The Indians The above poem by Emily Dickinson accurately de- picts the 1985 football season. Despite the graduation of several senior football players, the Indians were optimis- tic about the coming season. Many starters were return- ing, so the Tribe was expected to be an experienced one. However, lady luck didn't smile on the Indian team this year. After losing the season opener to Rolla, the season was plagued with misfortune. Injuries and losses multiplied as the season progressed. But there were bright spots, as wins were pulled out against Deerfield and Moscow. Even though the record may not show it, valuable experience and playing time was attained, and many goals were reached. Records indicated that the Indians had a losing year, but that is determined only by win-loss records. You can only determine how much is gained or lost by what a person has contributed to something he believes in. If we all feel that we did our best, then our season was a huge success, not only or necessarily on the field, but also in the game of life, said Coach Randy Liebelt.

Time is a major factor. An average from ten to twelve hours per week is spent by anyone who participates in an athletic activity. Their time is occupied by differ- ent conditioning drills and other drills that polish and perfect various skills. Intensity is another factor. Usually if there is a lack of intensity in practice, it car- ries over into the following game. More often than not, the type of practice a team has determines the caliber of performance it will have. It's hard for a person to understand how strenuous any type of practice really is.

The desire to reach these goals, which included win- ning the League Tourna- ment and going to Sub- State, provided the team with an inspiration to work hard all year. The season began with the Holcomb Tournament. Tough opponents like top- ranked Ingalls proved to be large obstacles in reaching goals. The Indians placed third at the tournament by beating Copeland after los- ing to Holcomb and Ingalls. Three consecutive wins and a loss were followed by the arrival of the League Tournament. After dominat- ing Copeland and Rolla, the Indians met Ingalls in the championship game. De- spite great efforts by the girls, the talented Bulldogs overpowered the Indians in the end. The season carried on in a roller coaster fashion. Highs and lows marred the Lady Indians' record so that when the Regional Touma- 68 Girls' Basketball ment hit town, Satanta had to face Ingalls once again in the second round. Howev- er, hopes were high and the desire to reach Sub-State inspired the Indians to play hard. The Bulldogs came out ahead, but strong, stub- born play by the Indians made it one of the most diffi- cult wins Ingalls earned all year. Team members agreed the most disappointing point of the season was los- ing to Ingalls. Yet there were proud moments, too. The highlights were coming back from being down 20 points to beat Rolla and improving overall,” Sherri Brock said. Coach Dunn had some disappointments, like the unfortunate losses to Han- ston and Deerfield and the' seeding of the Regional Tourney, but she said, I was pleased with the contin- ual improvement from all the players. I was pleased with the attitudes of the players that played a bench substitute role. We had several play- ers equally talented. Only Trying to break the concen- tration ol an opponent, Tammy Troutt s powerful voice aids her defensive tactics. T 1 was pleased with the attitudes five can play at a time, and the others were patient and eager for a chance to play, she said. In an overall view of the season, Dunn said, It was an enjoyable and excit- ing season with hardwork- ing kids and a lot of support from the fans. Elisa Stalker and Stacey Wilson were Satanta repre- sentatives voted to the Santa Fe Trail All-League Team. Stalker was also selected by an area newspaper as one of ten girls on the Southwest Kansas Area Team. Looks of disappointment couldn't be hidden as the Indians received their second place trophy in the League Tournament. Girls' Basketball 69 First: Kris Cortez, Lisa Oliver.

Basketball NUMBER ONE They Were, If Only For A While A moment of success doesn't necessarily last for- ever. The Indians kicked off the season winning their first game against Montezuma. In the Holcomb Tourna- ment, they placed third by dominating Copeland after losing to Holcomb and In- galls. The Copeland win was followed by two con- secutive wins and a loss. League Tournament brought the realization of a dream to a select group of high school boys. Victories were savored over Deer- field and Moscow in tYie preliminary rounds. The night of the championship brought the Indians a hard- 70 Boys' Basketball fought win over the Ingalls Bulldogs. They felt “very elated, according to Coach Ste- vens. The kids set goals for the tournament and accom- plished them, he added. The majority of the team members felt the tourney win was the high point of the season. However, one team mem- ber said, Maybe it hurt us more than it helped us. For it was unknown during that triumphant time, but the win over the Bulldogs would be the last taste of success the Indians would enjoy. Talk about a season gone sour.

They finished the season with eleven straight losses, although the average num- ber of points they lost by in those games was less than five. One of those contests went into overtime, and two others were decided in tri- ple overtimes. There were no negative feelings felt by Coach Stevens. We peaked in the League Tournament, said Stevens. All the teams in the League were well bal- anced, and they kept on im- proving after the tourna- ment. I've never had a sea- son like this. 'PBLPBLPB!!!!!''

Boys' Basketball 71 Track 72 An abundance of poor weather and a plague of in- juries didn't impede the progress of the Indians this season. Despite these setbacks, numerous goals and many accomplishments were achieved. The girls' squad accumulated many tro- phies, including a first place at the Santa Fe Trail League meet and a second place at the Regional meet. The boys' squad didn't seem to fare as well in over- all results. However, the number of individual ac- complishments grew stead- ily as the year progressed. Their individual accom- plishments and improve- ments made for a successful season, said Coach Randy Liebelt of his boys team. Several school records were broken during the season. In individual events, Sally Black broke Kim Wilson's old time of 61.5 in the 400 meter dash by clocking a 61.2 time. Sta- cey Wilson shattered her own record of 2:27 in the 800 meter run when she ran it in 2:26. The 800 meter re- lay team consisting of Sally Black, Elisa Stalker, Mi- chelle Hughan and Stacey Wilson, beat the old time of 1:49.2 by running a 1:48.7 time. The same girls broke the record set in 1984 for the mile relay. They ran the relay in 4:07 at Regional to break the previous 4:12.3 time. Track Let's go ALL THE WAY!

Don't ask me! replied another bystander. One of the best kept secrets is all of the hard work and time that is put into cheerleading. This year was filled with many new and different experiences. The squad consisted of eight girls, six experienced and two completely new to high school cheerleading. Miss Johnson and Mrs. Ste- vens both added a new look. They shared the learning experiences that first-year sponsors have. Active-Involved-Responsible. These words can only begin to describe a high school cheerleader. There are many things that the cheerleaders do that are unnoticed or taken for granted. For in- stance, those bright, enthusiastic signs that deco- rate the halls all over the school, the fabulous decorations that make Miss School Spirit special, and that crash sign some player meets at the end of a line of cheering fans are just some of the several responsibilties the cheerleaders share, not to men- tion early morning practices to perfect cheers, chants, mounts and routines.

Experience Growing Up From Baby Beams “Baby Beams may have been an accurate nickname for the junior high cheer- leaders last summer at camp, but after a year of hard work and responsibil- ity, they've grown out of that name. Activities the girls shared included selling candy and bumper sticker spirit pins. It was a year of learn- ing for them, which is not uncommon as three new members are added to the squad each year when the eighth graders graduate. Each cheerleader faces new and exciting chal- lenges as a childhood dream of “being a cheer- leader becomes reality. We re gonna gel you! Melissa Huqhan and Netta DuBots let their pnde shine throuqh.

Though neither football or bas- ketball seasons brought victory, the boys gained valuable exper- ience and playing time. There were many disappointing losses that shaded the year, but Coach Troutt remained optimistic. They played well during parts of the games but couldn't pull out a win, according to Mr. Troutt. Anyone who has ever tried something and failed knows how tough it can be to continue the endeavor. The Indians should be commended, if not for a winning record, then for keeping the faith in the team. After all, the record doesn't necessarily determine the value of a season.

The Lady Indians' basketball team proved to be the power- house of the league with an 11-0 record and a SFTL championship.

Karla Feezor models her new hair to the annual staff at the all-night work night. I told you to stop biting your fingernails. My gosh, where are your fingers?” Who are you going out with Saturday night?” People come in many shapes and sizes. That's what makes them so interesting. Pictures of people hold memories for years to come. There is nothing like hav- ing your friends over and having your mother drag out the baby pictures that you had intended to keep topse- cret. _____ People People Realization It Is Over Since school began so early, the first day seemed just like an- other summer party, only bigger. All students remi- nisced during the first few minutes. The ringing bell brought the first realization to the seniors that this was it. One more year, and then it's over. While getting ac- quainted with teachers, stu- dents were interrupted by the annual announcement: All students 9-12 report to the auditorium. Sit in your assigned areas. All stu- dents please report to the auditorium and sit in your assigned areas, clearly came Mr. Slaven's voice over the loudspeaker. Sitting in rows Q and R was a first for the seniors — another sign for them that the end was near. I turned around and re- alized — WOW! This is it. I felt a load of responsibility because I am to set exam- ples for the underclass- men, said Cindy Black- wood. Feelings like these were not scarce among the senior class. From the sur- vey conducted in Novem- ber, more than half an- swered they felt the same way Cindy did. Another eye opener for the seniors was picking out announcements. Many comments were made about how the experience affected them. I was a little scared be- cause I realized I will be out on my own soon, said Sta- cey Davis. He was not the only one with this fear. It was like it wasn't really us. It was scary, too, Christa Kittle added. Stacey Wilson had a dif- ferent comment about pick- ing out her announcements. I was excited that it was finally over, yet I couldn't believe it was here. Another thought was Boy! This is ex- pensive! The seniors came in con- tact with many different feelings as the year pro- gressed. All were very de- termined to get through high school and come out on top. (Top) These two lough guys Stacey Davis and Rick Limon, show an opposite side ot their tough as nails personality as they show oil their baby dolls in the new leather look lor tough lit' gals.

Not only were friendships be- tween two guys or girls special in this class, so were friendships formed between a girl and a guy. One senior, Kim Noble, said, I think it helps to talk to a guy and giving a guy your input helps him. Guys need more than girlfriends; they need friends. Also, it gives me confidence to know that he likes me because he wants my friendship. Rowdiness would be noted as the most noticeable characteristic of the senior class. Always looking for a little fun could have been its motto. Those seniors who took Miss John- son's English class usually tried to release this rowdiness in her room. Be it classes, parties or its unique qualities, the class of '86 is one of the many that will live on in spirit for years to come. Being well liked is a quality that everyone would like to pos- sess. The senior class had no problems acquiring this unique quality. Most of our class is well liked by the student body, said sen- ior Windy Bailey. The seniors were involved in various activities throughout the senior year which kept them involved with the other classes. Another quality of the class of ’86 was its ability to get along so well as a class. When asked how he felt the senior class got along with each oth- er Tracy Harlow said, ’T think our class gets along pretty well. We get along better than most classes. Another senior, David Jones, thought of the seniors in this way, ‘T think our class is different because everyone is really open with each other.

Weekends were made for _______•” Results varied as follows: 1. Spending time with friends 2. Skinny dipping 3. Dating 4. Running around 5. Going shopping What exactly is a friend? Webster's dic- tionary says it's, One at- tached to another by affec- tion or esteem; an acquaint- ance. The junior class has sev- eral ideas of its own about the makeup of that impor- tant element in our lives. A friend is somebody who will stand up for you; someone you can trust 100 percent, said Roger Taton. Friendship is made up of many different materials. Two of the more common materials are trust and re- spect. Many juniors feel the way Rod Brooks does about these important aspects of friendship. Trust, you've got to have trust. Oh, you have to have respect too. You have to keep the person's trust and you have to keep their loyalty, said Rick Kingham. Even though those are two important aspects of friendship, other values count also. A big part of friendship is how one gets along with another person and how well he or she is able to communicate. An- other big factor is how one treats others. One might say How are you suppose to treat them? Robert Lee says, I like to have fun. I treat my friends the way I want to be treated. Maybe this is why the junior class is so close. Before we go jumping to conclusions let's ask some of the juniors how they feel about the friend- ship within their class. We're all different in our own way, but yet we all know one another and un- derstand each other. We don't pry when we're not wanted, says Sherri Brock. Shelly Rhiness has a dif- ferent point, We rely on each other and we're hon- est with one another. All of the juniors seemed to appreciate each other and have tried to make the best of their high school days. Lisa McLeland and Vance Oliver were chosen Junior Class Favorites.

With the extra ac- tivities so many of them are involved in, they all pray for time to themselves. They spend time catching up on lost sleep, shopping, party- ing and lounging around the house. Webster's definition of spare time, free time, not plentiful, is quite similar to Jeff McLeland's. It's a time when you're not doing any- thing. When does this time come to our sophomores? According to Sue Sprenkle, Never . Spare Time Even though spare time is scarce, sophomores are wil- lint to sacrifice it for extra curricular activities. They spend their time serving the community and school in activities such as sports, church, vocal music, band, NHS, FCA, debate and Kayettes. Many other students said they think the same as Shane Seaton about spare time. I'd like to have more spare time, but you can never have enough of it. When spare time finally does come around the sophomores take full advan- tage of it by cruising Main Street, shooting pool at the Drive In, talking on the tele- phone or mostly going out of town. Why don't they just give a little of their activities up? These sophomores feel the need to do more for themselves, their communi- ty, school and their nation. The sophomore class favorites were Melissa Swift and Jeff McLeland. What a rock!!

Everyone has his or her share, but the prospect of becom- ing a freshman produces an assortment of negative and positive feelings. Threats from upperclass- men such as Just wait 'til you get to be a freshman, and we'll really put it to you, gave some of the freshmen the fear of being trampled. “I was afraid of people puttin’ things in your locker or riggin' it, Doug Strano said. Freshmen also echoed a fear of the amount of school work. “I was afraid we'd have lots of homework, Arlo Reimer said. Not being able to under- stand the work that we we’re going to do, was one of Marina Hernandez' fears. Other fears admitted by freshmen ranged from, ... not being liked by up- perclassmen, to ... be- ing scared that the elderlies were going to intiate us. 1 knew sports would be harder, Jeremy Lee said. But along with the pre- freshmen anxieties came the as many or more excit- ing prospects. I always wanted to be in high school, said Kris Cor- tez. I knew I would have more privileges, Darcy Mclver said. Justin Frey and Pat Noble had looked forward to play- ing high school football while Shannon Slaven said playing basketball was a reason he was excited about high school. Driving, was Lisa Oli- ver's single exciting specu- lation about becoming a freshmen. Some of the freshmen girls especially anticipated the idea of being around more guys. At least you don't have to walk by the high school doors and drop your books to look in the classroom to see a boy, said Dee Dee Fitzgerald. After the year was in fullswing the freshmen took some time to ponder their pre-year jitters. Some of their comments follow. It's been fun because classes and teachers are dif- ferent, Doug Strano said. Clar Taton said, It isn't as bad as what I thought it would be. Tonya Hall quickly chimed in, Speech isn't even that bad. I like the idea of having an activity period, Lor- eanne said. “It's going faster than I thought it would go, said Konrad Myrick. The freshmen have also had to deal with some of the harsher realities of the year such as freshmen carrying the dumbies in football. Nobody really pays at- tention to you, was one comment. But at the end of the ana- lysis, Todd Tyler voiced the best thing about being a freshmen, ... only three years to go!

Brother or Sister Gift Of Gab Many of the SJH stu- dent body are new faces among us, but with their smiling faces come their ideas, ex- citement and of course, their communication de- vice. Without their mouths' though, how could they sport that SJH spirit and pride, and naturally the la- test gossip, or what Vem is up to. It is so very, actually overly, common to see our seventh and eighth graders on Alexander Graham Bell's invention — the tele- phone. About four hours, probably, is how much Netta Dubois expects she spends on the phone a night. How many times do they come home from school after practice and hear their mother or father say, Now don't you think you have plenty of time at school to talk to your friends? And how many times do they get in reply, But mom, it is important. Then they get on the phone and ask, Did you here what so n' so did? Pretty sneaky, huh? Some Jr. High people are content to study, but there are those who have the tal- ent or rather determination to talk on the phone and study at the same time. S U P E R G R E A T!!

Not only did they do the regular classroom projects, but they did pro- jects that included the whole grade school. Events ranged from the first year of band for the fifth graders to the sixth graders final field trip of their grade school years. The most exciting thing of the year was going to the Cosmosphere. It was really neat to see how astronauts travel in space, said fifth grader D. J. Akins. Before going to the Cos- mosphere the fifth grade class had an intense study in science about space and space travel. The trip to the Cosmosphere, where they visited the space museum and the Omnimax, complet- ed their space study. Mrs. McLeland's Class took part in a micro-com- munity which tied in with social studies. The class wrote a class constitution, and two students were ap- pointed bankers. They were in charge of rent, taxes and insurance. Come visit our Craft Ect. Shop was just one of the signs in the grade school halls in December. The sixth grade class sponsored a Country Store which took several months to plan. The store was just the icing on the cake of lessons in eco- nomics, running small bu- sinesses and the handling of money. Each student brought craft items from home which they made or had help in making. The whole grade school visited their booths and bought items that were being sold. It was really exciting getting all that money and having somebody pick stuff I made, said sixth grader Amber Seaton. The fifth and sixth grade classes have had many events they will remember for a long time. I'm really proud of the kids, said Mrs. Cynthia Lewis, sixth grade teacher.

Celebrating Thanks- giving with a feast, touring Boot Hill and visiting the Garden City Zoo were three of the high- lights of the third and fourth graders. At the feast for Thanks- giving, the students dressed as pilgrims and Indians. The students helped with the dinner. After the third grade toured Boot Hill in Dodge City, they ate at Ken's Pizza. The fourth grade went to the Shriner's Circus in Dodge City and also visited the Garden City Zoo. Justin Rawlins, third grader, said, “Math is my favorite class because of learning multi- plication and division and having time tests. Also in math, other students men- tioned liking division, multi- plication and fractions. The third graders liked science because of a ex- periment with plants. Two other choice activities of both grades were playing soccer at recess and dodge ball in P.E. From pilgrims to taking time tests the third and fourth grades had a very busy year. Math is my favorite class because of learning multiplication and division and having time tests.

We went to a garden and picked stuff that is grown to sell in the grocery store, said first grader Mark Lozar. The garden the first grad- ers visited was Mr. Remel Blundell's. The students learned that the vegetables their parents buy in the gro- cery store come from a gar- den like Mr. Blundell's. The first graders also wrote a book. After every- one was through, they each got to sit in a special chair in the middle of the room and tell their story to the other kids in their class. “You're not going to be- lieve this, but we saw a two- headed calf, said second grader Tracey Tatro as she giggled. The second grade class took a trip to Meade, where they visited the Dalton Gang Hideout. They were taken on a tour of the muse- um. They saw a two-headed calf, an old school house with a boy sitting in the cor- ner wearing a dunce hat and other items used during the late 1800's. Everyone went through the tunnel the Dalton's used as an escape route from the house to the bam. The second graders also did an extensive study about nutrition. They made booklets about the four food groups: meat, milk, fruit and vegetables, and bread and cereal. Although recess and lunch were an important part of the first and second graders' day, learning inter- ested them. 94 Second and First Writing is hard work.

The language lab class- room is one where learning is made fun. Mrs. ZoAnn Torrey, the language lab teacher said, Many oppor- tunities are provided for the students to learn and use the language.'' Learning centers are used to teach the students better eye- hand coordination and gen- eral academics. One of the learning centers is called Workjobs. Workjobs are a reinforcement of all activi- ties. Each student has his own workjobs to do. Cooking is another activ- ity that takes place in the classroom. The students participate in the cooking. In November, the class at- tended “The Very Special Arts Festival. At the festival the students participated in drama, music and body movement. In the spring the class took a trip to the Torrey farm. The last main activity of the year was a trip to the Garden City Zoo. The language lab class learns many skills and learn- ing tools, but at the same time the students learn how to express themselves and have fun. The same applies to the kindergarten. Linda Nel- son, the teacher, had the students do many exciting activities to go along with their learning process. This year, while learning the letters of the alphabet, the kindergarten used tools to help them remember them. The consonants were regarded as men. For ex- ample, letter D is for Dough- nut. The vowels were re- garded as women. For ex- ample, letter A is Miss Achoo. When learning each letter, the students sound out each beginning letter before saying the word. To go along with the different letters, Mr. Dun- can Boutwell, the conces- sion stand manager, helped out. For the letter P, Mr. Pop, Mr. Boutwell gave pop to each of the students. For the letter S, Mr. Snocone, he made snocones for each of the students. For the let- ter C, Mr. Cotton Candy, he made cotton candy.

Is that really how the custodians feel? Arther (Peck) Sanders says says I love my job and I love the kids too!” That ex- presses how most of the cus- todians’ feel. Their jobs are plentiful! Whenever there is a mess to be cleaned up who does one call? When- ever one leaves a book at the school who does one call? Why, one calls the custodians! They don't mind too awful much be- cause they know they have a reward coming and that is, it makes them feel need- ed. Satisfaction of being around the kids is another one of their rewards. Cooking is our favorite thing! How do the cooks really feel about getting up early every morning just to come to school to cook for, sometimes, unthankful kids? Lee Owings says 'T enjoy it! Don’t like doing the dishes, but love the kids! The cooks are a very special part of our school. Without them the kids and teachers would go hungry. They fill the school with an inviting aroma. You may say, What do the cooks get out of this whole ordeal? Velma Sell- ing says, We get the plea- sure to feel like we’re doing something good for the kids. It also is a reward when somebody comes up to us and says 'Thanks, that was a good meal!'” Driving is our life!” Bus drivers are the ones who transport the kids to and from school each and every day. What is really going on inside their minds? Donna Connor says I really enjoy transporting the kids. I work with the special ed. kids and I just love them!” Each bus driver has to be very patient and understanding to listen to the many questions asked of them by extremely active kids.

The class was a semester long, but the teachers only spent five days of actual classroom time learning im- portant Instructional Skills. In between classes the teachers were observed and evaluated on how well they were applying what they learned. ‘T learned to be a better teacher in several ways: 1) how to teach improved or- ganizational skills, 2) how to relate information to the learner and 3) how to apply learning to students at any level, said Mr. Larry Laas, junior English teacher and counselor. ... it's never too late to improve, said Mrs. Car- lene Ungles, sophomore English teacher.

As a junior high student I had Mr. Sla- ven as my history teacher for two years, and now I've had him as my boss for three years, said Mrs. Ar- dith Dunn, a math teacher. After 15 years of educat- ing here, Mr. Stanley Sla- ven has decided it was time for he and his family to move on. Six of these 15 years were spent teaching junior high history and coaching athletics. The oth- er nine were spent being principal. Altogether Mr. Slaven has been on the giv- ing end of educating for 21 years. Fifteen Years of Faithful Service I admire his ability to un- derstand students' needs, he doesn't jump to conclu- sions. He gets all the facts, weighs the situation and then he deals with it. Above all he has the ability to keep a cool head, said Charlotte Nichols, school secretary. Mr. Slaven's wonderful to work for. He's always positive and tries to help not criticize. The students re- spond very well to him. I'm going to miss working for him, said Karen Jury. Stan Slaven H.S. Principal. B.S., M.S. Education, Emporia State U., M.S. Administration, Fort Hays State U. Charlotte Nichols H.S. Secretary Important First Impressions First impressions are very important to people. Everyone is always striving to make good impressions. Ralph H. Stutzman, first year principal, said, When I first came here I was im- pressed with the friendli- ness of this town. Everyone was just super friendly. My first impression of the school was excitement and a sense of challenge. I still feel that the people are the friend- liest I've ever come in con- tact with, and the school is just as exciting and chal- lenging as it ever was. Ralph H. Stutzman G.S. Principal. B.A..

Secretary 104 Administration Attendance Policy Adjusted Has attendance been a problem? That was the question. The administration and the Board of Education ana- lyzed the attendance policy after a survey, conducted by Dennis Shoemaker, first year superintendent, re- vealed former students' concern with lack of school missed in previous years. Concern about unexcused absences and how they af- fected passing or failing also prompted the analysis. Even though our school has been at the top of the state in attendance percent- age, some still felt there was a problem. The problem seemed to be whether or not unexcused absences should have any affect on whether or not a student should pass or fail. The new attendance poli- cy does not address ab- sences due to participation in school activities; rather, it Concern Activates Analysis for Change deals with unexcused ab- sences. As stated in the new poli- cy, The Board of Educa- tion recognized the impor- tance of regular school at- tendance if the students are to attain maximum benefits from the the educational process. Students are ex- pected to be in regular at- tendance to recieve credit for courses in which they are enrolled. The new attendance poli- cy was accepted December 12, 1985, and it was imple- mented for the second sem- ster. There was no real need to wait for next year to im- plement it. It was already developed and it is based on semesters, so we imple- mented it for the second se- mester, said Mr. Shoemak- er. The old policy and the new policy are basically the same only with one major change. The new policy states, ... B) Students leaving the district for an extended period of time are expected to withdraw enroll in the school district in which they are residing. Students who do not with- draw and are absent in ex- cess of five days in a semes- ter shall be dropped from the roll and shall receive no credit for courses in which they were enrolled. Stu- dents who formally with- draw and enroll in their new district will not be pe- nalized if they readmit in ours. The new policy also states, A student who is in- excusably absent for three consecutive days or five days in any one semester shall not receive credit for courses in which they were enrolled.

Putting them up was not a small task as Ardith Dunn finds out while help- ing her mother put up the track bulletin board. Where are we going for senior skip day? How will we ever get that old gym decorated for prom? Where is our next track meet?” When is graduation practice? What time does play practice start? What pages do I have to have done by the deadline Miss Johnson? These questions and many others like them are questions that students ask in the spring. Spring is always the busiest time of year with track, yearbook deadlines, the All School Play, senior skip day, prom and graduation all trying to fit themselves into the last nine weeks of school. H- P 09 y Spring 107 Dancing on the lighted stage and having a great time is Daren Hock- ett. Kay Lopez, Rodney Brooks, Scott Strano and Kim Noble. Exotic Islands Invade The Gym Aloha. This word means both hello and goodbye in Ha- waiian. In the juniors' case it meant goodbye traditional prom; hello Exotic Islands. The week before April 12, 1986 an Exotic Island was created in the old high school gym. The decora- tions included a wooden bridge with its own lighted candles made by Dustin Hockett, real flower leis from Hawaii, a palm tree mural and various plants and trees throughout. When the juniors planned the prom they con- sidered several things. They wanted to break tradition, make it a prom the seniors would remember and let their imaginations fly. The hardest things to pick were the basic colors and where to put the entrance,” said Stephanie Myrick. The ju- niors changed the entrance from entering through the doors by the junior high girls' locker room to enter- ing through the doors by the boiler room door. When entering into the prom the first thing seen was this picture drawn by Robin Bailey, Rodney Brooks and Rosemary Stapleton. 108 Prom Islands . . . Karla Feezor said, The thing that differed the most from last year’s prom was the meal and the Hawaiian leis. The meal at the ban- quet included a dinner sal- ad, Shiskabobs, rice, a fruit cup and iced tea or water. After the banquet was over students had an hour break. Most students rode around until it was time to go back to the dance. The wooden bridge was lighted romanti- cally with candles and the tables had been moved out. The dance was ready to be- gin. The music was pro- vided by D.I. Madness from Hutchinson. He brought some very special equip- ment including a lighted dance stage, a large screen television, used to show vid- eos to some of the songs and a myriad of lights. Refreshments for the dance were provided by the juniors' mothers. They included cookies, fruit, punch and iced tea. After the dance was over at midnight, students were invited to a breakfast given by some of the juniors' and seniors' mothers. 109 The Final Stretch Many Honored At Class Night Recognition. Recollec- tion. Realization. Class night focused on all of the above and more. Awards were given to stu- dents participating in year- book, band, stuco, art, per- fect attendance and aca- demic achievement. One special award that is given every year is the Max Hunt- er Math Award. This award was presented to Stacey Da- vis. After these awards were presented the seniors took over and began by reading the class wills. Out of all the seniors wills several got a few more laughs than oth- ers. One was Greg Kelling willing his hair to Mr. Lie- belt. Stacey Davis's will of his ability to admit when he is wrong to Mr. Troutt was one that all the seniors en- joyed. The next item on the program was the class histo- ry. Kindergarten proved to oe quite exciting except for the bus running over David Jones' dog. Sterling Slaven and Casey Apsley proceed- ed to tell everyone about some experiences that the seniors had throughout grade school, junior high and high school. The final thing that all the seniors had been waiting for was the reading of the prophecies by Christa Kittle and Stacey Wilson. No one knew their prophecies so it was quite a surprise to Rick Limon when he was said to have become a police offi- cer. Another surprise was Christa's long illness from poison oak, which she just happened to get while on a nature walk'' with Stacey Davis, at senior skip day. Class night was ended with the reading of a special poem which was made up of all the senior prophecies put together. Presenting the Max Hunter Math Award to Stacey Davis is Mick Hunter. 110 Class Night Clowning around one more time the class of '86 comes together.

After the anticipation, tears, nervousness and ten- sion of graduation, most seniors felt a sense of numb- ness. All the activities that go on around the time of graduation keep everyone busy so there doesn't seem to be much time to really think about graduation. It's like you wake up one day and it hits you in the face, said Christa Kittle, senior. Graduation day had an early start for the seniors. The senior mothers put on a breakfast that morning at 7:30 a.m. The breakfast was followed by a short program put on by Carol Wilson and Joanne Lopez. Between breakfast time and 2 p.m. most seniors at- tended church or spent time with their family. When 2 p.m. finally arrived the seniors met in Miss John- son’s room to put their gowns on, adjust their hats, pin on flowers and give out gifts. The graduation proces- sion started as Travis Apsley and Sally Black, juniors, led the seniors down the aisle of the auditorium to the tradi- tional march Pomp and Circumstance, which was played by the high school concert band. As part of the program. Jazz Tribe played “Burning Heart and Odyssey sang I Will Stand. It was then time to hand out the thing that the seniors had spent thirteen years of their lives working for — the diplo- mas. Stacey Davis' comment echoes what many seniors felt. As I walked across the stage to get my diploma I thought it should have been something more after thir- teen years of work. l oni 2)riuk. Inexperience Not a Drawback 114 Play Student experience was not a major part in the pro- duction of the Woody Allen comedy, “Don't Drink the Water. Only one cast member had previous ex- perience. The rest of the cast had its first shot at work- ing under the hot lights and trying to satisfy the frighten- ing audience. Each cast member added his or her own spice to roles for an ef- fective character develop- ment. Preparing for the play not only took a cast, but a crew as well. Putting the set to- gether, gathering props and helping with the cos- tuming were some of the jobs the crew did. Without such people the show would not go on. Anticipating how the au- dience would react, the cast and crew prepared them- selves for the opening per- formance. The anticipation was a bit greater because in previous years a serious drama had been the art form. In the end the pro- duction was well recieved by the audience. Cast And Crew Walter Hollander ...

All our love always, Mom and Dad P.S. One day after you are successful, you can pay your own phone bills. _ Stacey. I am very proud of your achievements and honors you have earned in 4-H, livestock judging, trap shooting, the K-State courses last summer, etc. Other achievements have been shooting a hole through Uncle Don's pickups and hitting the trap house, twice! I am proud of you and confident that you can reach your goals, just always keep your game plan in sight. Love. Mom Kim. You've come a long way baby! Through it all we have stayed close in minds and hearts. Our bond can- not be compared to any oth- er. You are a superior young woman that I will al- ways be extrememly proud of. I love you. Mom Christa, Seems only yesterday you were starting kinder- garten. How the years have gone. Here you have ar- nved at your senior year.

Mom and Dad Tracy, You're the greatest and we love you Tracy. David, Like the song says ‘Tum around and your two. turn around and your four turn around your a young man going out the door.” It doesn't seem possible that it is now time that you soon will be leaving the familiar surrounding that we treasure so much. As you embark on life to make your own decisions and chose the things which are important to you. We hope you will continue to be a man of good morals and sound judgement. Choose the things of importance to you and let no other human influence you on what choices you make, only God. Don't get so busy with life that you don't take time to live. Proverbs 3:5,6 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him. and he shall direct thy paths.” We love you and are proud of you and want the very best God has for you.

The Latest Has Been Heard The time has come to close the files on the 1985- 86 school year. The data re- vealed in these files should have answered many of the questions we all asked at the beginning of the year. As secrets unraveled throughout the year about assignments, winning games, losing games, teach- ers, honors, etc., unknown information about putting a yearbook together and working with nine different people seemed to make it- self known to me. The first deadline was probably the most hectic. No one realized that the deadline was com- ing up until about two days before it was here. But in spite of this, the deadline was met. A special thanks goes out — to Miss Johnson for all the late nights and early morn- ings she spent finishing out all the deadlines, Mr. McGowan and his photog- raphy staff and most of all to the annual staff for all the hard work. I hope as you look through this annual you can see all the good TOPSE- CRETS that have been let out. Just as this book must come to an end, so must we say goodbye to people that are friends. Mr. Slaven de- cided that his time here as principal must end. He had been principal for nine years. For a send off stu- dents filled his office com- pletely full of newspapers and balloons.
