For some it was a difficult year, for some an easy year, but for most it was a good year. It was filled with the usual joys and sorrows, the usual awkwardness of the freshmen that first week, and the sophomores indecision about what ring would be right for their class. Of course the juniors were always in a state of anticipation about magazine sales, conces- sions, and that final goal, Prom. For the sen- iors it was their last year of waiting. The first week brought football practice to the Mustang squad. Although the team worked hard and played well they were un- able to better last year's record of 0 wins and 9 losses. That first week also brought a Y-Teen party for the freshman girls. Everyone was supposed to come dressed as a little kid and prizes were awarded for the best costume. De- baters also began work on an approach to solving pollution. Basketball practice began in November, along with rehearsals for the all-school play, Up the Down Staircase , a tender comedy about a concerned young teacher played by Blaine Knott and Donna Burdick seem to be enjoying the fruits of their labor as they leave the world of the Oriental Gardens. BELOW the Mustang bench watches and wishes as the first place trophy is awarded but that second place finish will give them another chance at regional.

Marci Lee, working in the New York school system. A successful fall concert was staged by Mrs. Wills and her vocal department. December 6th took SWH to Hugoton for the first basketball game of the season. The Mustangs suffered their first loss at Hugoton, but by the end of the season, they were on the winning side with an impressive record of 11 wins and 10 losses and 2nd's in both league and district tournament play. However the cheerleaders suffered the greatest loss when Attorney General Vem Miller made the state aware of the law making raffles illegal in the state of Kansas. The cake raffle was missed by all, but the pep club still made it out to support the Mustang team in full strength. In January, speech and drama students began work on presentations for contests. The students received 27 awards out of the 28 events they entered and Mr. Slack took 5 presentations to Hays' State Speech Contest in late April. March came in like a lion with dust storms sweeping the state and causing Min- neola to cancel league music festival, send- ing SWH music students to state contest in Dodge City without the usual experience. Still, Mrs. Will's vocal department received 6 I ratings. ABOVE: Mike Cox and Vicki Geisinger enjoy dancing to the lively beat of Cole, Shepard and Smith. BELOW: The students of several English classes listen to Virginia Scott Miner, a poet, with interesting facts on poetry. The spring brought special assemblies and lectures. NASA gave us an inside look at the space program and the poet in residence who lectured tried to give us a taste for culture. Spring also afforded a first time opportunity to arts G crafts students in oil painting in- struction by Mrs. Ormiston. Prom introduced May and the final month of school. The juniors chose Oriental Gar- dens as their theme with all the trimmings, including a Buddah, a bridge, a dragon, and even incense. Graduation finally made us aware that the year was almost over, and there were so many things we hadn't gotten done. Reflecting on the 1971 school year we will find it a memorable one. This was the year we started the new pass-fail system, the year we clobbered Meade at basketball, when they least expected it, the year we almost didn't have a prom, and the year that no matter how much they reminded us about the hands-off policy, the administration had trouble enforcing it. On the following pages we have recaptured these moments to the best of our ability, but reflections are often hard to catch. So as you look through this book, perhaps something will bring back a personal memory of the school year 1971... BELOW: Arts G Crafts provided a valuable opportunity in oil painting to Gloria Wisby. ADMINISTRATION SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS: Max Roberts, E. Fred Foster, Robert Hinz, Lyman Brown, John Reimer, Tommy Lee, and Jay Borth. A Message From Mr. Jim Miller: The emphasis in education today is that every young person should be ready to enter higher education or to enter useful and rewarding employment. We at Southwestern Heights have tried to blend our curricu- lum so as to accomplish both. We are presently offering a vocational program that provides opportunities for the basis of an occupational career. Much is yet to be done in this area, but some progress has been made. Our students heading for college are exposed to a wide curri- culum offering enabling them to compete on a college level. Our staff members are constantly looking for ways to make their classes relevant to the needs of our students. More than ever before, we realize that teaching today is a real challenge to the conscientious teacher. We are proud of our school, our students, our staff, and the tradition of Southwestern Heights. Mr. Howard Gray, superintendent of USD 483, looks forward to a day of challenges and rewards. 8 ABOVE, principal of the Kismet elementary school is Mr. Harold H. Jantzen. Mr. D. J.

Jump rope, hopscotch, jacks and redrover and selection of Lori Lee as the cutest little girl were the evenings acti- vities to compliment the theme. Later in the year, Marci Lee was runner-up for the district ICC representative with some help from Daisy Duck. Service projects included sponsoring an orphan, sending Easter baskets to Lone Tree Lodge and helping Winfield State Hospital buy a bus. The highlight of the spring banquet was the discus- sion of Kenya by Miss Tima Heusner. ABOVE, a mixer introduced the members of Y-Teen to their counterpart in the YWCA.

Six seniors, ten juniors, seven sophomores, and fifteen freshmen reported out for football this year. Of these, ten of the players lettered last year. Four of the defensive and three of the offensive starters on this year's teams were sophomores. The Mustangs will have fourteen returning lettermen next year to try to better the 1971 football record. One of the deciding factors this year was that the Mus- tangs played a tough non-league team, Hugoton, in the first game of the season, followed by games with Protec- tion and Meade. At the end of the season Protection and Meade came out with the top two places in the league. The Mustang fans turned out in full force for these games, but the substantial losses seemed to have a dampening ef- fect on both the Mustang squad and fans, as spirit and sup- port dwindled throughout the remaining games of the season. Mustangs receiving honors on the league team were Dick Knott, honorable mention, offensive back and defen- sive linebacker; Arnold Tabb, honorable mention, defen- sive guard; Jack Osborne, honorable mention, offensive end and Brandon Utz, honorable mention, offensive guard. Mustangs receiving honors on the SOUTHWEST DAILY TIMES team were Dick Knott, honorable mention, defen- sive linebacker; Jack Osborne, honorable mention, offen- sive end; Brandon Utz, honorable mention, offensive guard; Mike Fink, honorable mention, defensive halfback and Rocky Correll, honorable mention, defensive linebacker.

MUSTANGS ARE SECOND IN LEAGUE The 1971 basketball team won 11 games and lost 10. S. W.H. had a 6-2 league record which put them in sec- ond place behind Meade's unmarred 8-0 record. The Fowler Goldgugs were tied with the Mustangs for second place until the last game when Protection beat them. That wasn't the only tie this year as there was fierce competition in the league. The Mustangs came from be- hind to beat Coldwater 56-52 in their opening game in the Iroquois League Tournament at Meade. S. W.H. then dumped Cimarron 58-54 in the semi-final, but lost to Meade in the finals by a score of 55-44. On the first night of the district tournament, played at S. W.H., Elkhart won a surprising upset over Meade and the Mustangs won a close one against Sublette 64-63. In the finals, Meade won over Sublette for third place, and Elkhart won first by beating the Mustangs 54-47. The 1971 season ended where it began, in Hugoton, where Lakin won a close one over the Mustangs 54-52 in the regionals.

Mustang track squad started out their 70-71 track season with 7 juniors, 6 sophomores, and 7 freshmen. At the first of the season four boys, C.J. Wettstein, Mike Fink, Jeff Wells, and Jack Osborne attended the State Indoor track- meet at Manhattan. The meets attended through the season were Liberal, S.W.H. Invitational, Ashland, Minneola, Cim- arron, league meet at S.W.H. regionals at Greensburg, and state at Wichita. David Weilert one of the sophomores that started was put out of the team when he tore up the ligaments in his knee. With no seniors out for track, you could see that the S.W.H. squad was a young one made up of mostly Freshmen and Sophomores. The team had improved alot over the season by getting more depth into the track team. One school record was broken by Mike Fink in the 100 yard dash and numerous class records were broken. There were 3 people who went to regionals. They were Mike Fink, Alfred Mercer, and Eddie Dailing. Eddie then ran a 2:05 half to get 3rd, and to earn a place in the meet to go to the state track meet at Wichita. Lettermen for this year are juniors, C.J. Wettstein, Jeff Wells, Mike Fink, Norvan Correll, and Alfred Mercer. Sopho- mores are, Bruce Howard, Eddie Daling, and Henry Hittle. The freshmen lettering were, Kevin Eakes, Billy Sheldon, Kent Miller, Jack Bromwell, and Alan Willimon. BELOW: C. J. Wettstein getting a good start out of the blocks in one of his 220 vard dashes.

Blaine Knott, Mike Cox, Jack Osborne, Kerry Knott, Kent Miller, and Leonard King traveled to the Kingman regional, but were hampered by a strong wind and a tough course. Blaine Knott was the only one to qualify for the state meet at Parsons. Meets the team attended were Lakin, Coldwater, Southwestern Heights, Ulysses, league (Cimarron), regional (Kingman), and state (Parsons). The team placed at Lakin, 6 man and 4 man getting 1st and Blaine Knott getting 2nd medalist; Coldwater, 6 man and 4 man getting second with Blaine Knott getting 1st medalist; Southwestern Heights, 6 man and 4 man getting 2nd and 2 man getting 3rd with Blaine Knott and Kerry Knott both getting 2nd medalists. The team went to Ulysses, the 6 man and 4 man getting 2nd and Blaine Knott getting medalist again. League was held at Cimarron where the 6 man and 4 man won first and Blaine Knott, Kent Miller tied for 3rd medalists, and Jack Osborne won first medalist. At regionals, at Kingman, the 2 man team was the only one placing, with a 4th place. At this meet Blaine Knott placed 4th therefore earning a place to go to the state meet at Parsons.

Activities for the girls this year in- cluded the annual powder puff football game, the girls' basketball game, several swimming meets, track meets, both home and away, tennis meets and golf meets.

UP THE DOWN STAIRCASE A BIG HIT This touching comedy is a story of a young ideal- istic school teacher-Sylvia Barrett, teaching her first class in the monsterious New York school system. She meets many hilarous situations, some touching ones, and some frightening ones. There to help her are her friends, Ellen from home, and Bea Schachter, a fellow teacher. Mr. Paul Barringer, a notoriously romantically inclined Eng- lish teacher, takes an interest in Sylvia and her prob- lems, only to find that one of her romantic girl stu- dents has fallen in love with him. The problems that Sylvia faces in the day to day teaching make up the plot of this play. Gloria Wisby, as Bea Schachter, gives Marci Lee, as Sylvia Barrett, the benefit of her many years in the teaching profession. Pam Angeli was aided in the makeup work by Bernie Eakes, Rebecca Coffey, Donna Drietz, and Cindy Pippitt. Here Angie and Nancy Brown look on as she helps C. J. gain a few years. Mike Weilert, playing Ed Williams, gets make up help from Brad Harp. Brad played the chief trouble maker in the school, Joe Ferone. Alan Benear played Paul Barringer and Angie Brown played Alice Blake. Dave Weilert, as Lennie Neumark, leans just a little too far. Marci now has her biggest problem, Joe Ferone, Brad Harp, under control. OTHERS IN THE CAST WERE: Bradley Johnson, C.J.
