Jt’s {Just A Piece Of Cloth That's all it is—just a piece of cloth. But when a little breeze comes along, it stirs and comes to life, and flutters and snaps in the wind, all red and white and blue! And then you realize that no other piece of cloth could be like it! Southwestern {Heights JUustanger 1975-76 Unified School 'District 483 Plains-Kismet Kansas Those stars in it— they make you feel as free as the stars in the wide deep night, And those stripes— they are bars of blood to any dicta- tor who might try to change this way of life. Just a piece of cloth, that's all—until you put your soul into it, and give it meaning, then it is a symbol of liberty, and decency, and fair dealing for everyone. It is just a piece of cloth until we make it stand for every- thing we believe in and refuse to live without it. It's Just a Piece of Cloth reprinted with permission from The Sunshine Press, Litchfield, Illinois Annual Staff Dear Student Body: The annual staff of the 1975-76 year are leaving you with this bicentinial scrapbook for a keepsake. We hope it holds memories of friends, teachers, and acti- vities. We have enjoyed doing it for you.

With the help of Mrs. Langhofer, the Y raised money, gave a Mexi- can dip party for YWCA mothers, and ended the year with a scholarship for one of the Y- teen seniors. Our Y-teen girls received letters and gifts from their mystery mothers the whole year. At the mother and daughter banquet they finally got to meet their mystery mothers! They deserve a hand for all their successful year and Mrs. Bender deserves a hand for all her devoted years and time to the Y-teen or- ganization.

The cheerleaders would get it going and the pep club would carry it through. The new cheers and cheer- leaders learned at K. U. cheerleading camp added a great deal to the spirit of the club. The varsity cheerleaders came back from the camp with 3 ribbons: red, white, and blue. The skill of our cheer- leaders really came through as the year progressed.

The queen was escorted by Jeff Riedel. Her two attendants were Dana Miller escorted Phil Wilson and Tawny a Jacobs escorted by Tracy Utz. The Queen of 1975 Janice Eakes gave Nancy her flowers and royal robe. The flowers were carried by Mandy Moss and the crown was carried by Brady Ayre With the theme On Top of the World in '76 the queen and her attendants were escorted to the platform which was decorated with a snow tipped mountain peak and a many colored rainbow rising above it. A celebration was held after the game with a dance featuring Four Eyes . 14 Memories Being 1975 Football Home- coming Queen was one of the happiest moments of my life. When I was a little girl, it was my dream to be a home- coming queen. It always thrilled me to go to the home- coming ceremonies and see who was crowned queen. I always wondered how they felt when their name was announced. It was hard for me to believe when they announced the 1975 Football Homecoming Queen is Nancy Utz. I just couldn't believe it! It meant so much to me and I was so happy. Basketball Close Zo you On a cold Friday night Pat Yearick was crowned. The queen was presented her crown by her escort Jeff Riedel. Her attend- ants were Dana Miller escorted by Phil Wilson and Tawny a Jacobs escorted by Tracy Utz. Debbie Hill, who was escorted by Mike Haddon, presented her with flowers and royal robe. The flowers were carried by Michelle Geisinger and the crown was carried by Danny Darroch. As Shari Angell sang the theme Close to You the queen and her attendants were escorted to their platform. The platform was decorated with a huge white heart which was placed be- tween two red hearts. Two shadowed lovers were placed in the huge white heart. 16 IHtH 1 Memories The night of homecoming I was so nervous and scared that I just knew I was going to mess up in front of all those people. When I walked out with Jeff and we stood before all that crowd, I spotted my parents and they looked so proud of me, I just felt like crying. I can remember Jeff asking why I was shaking. I just told him I couldn't believe I was out stand- ing out here. When they an- nounced my name as the 1976 Homecoming queen, I was totally shocked. I just couldn't get over it. Everything just seemed to stop. 17 33A Sweetheart Melissa Shinogle The Southwestern Heights chapter of FFA chose Melissa Shinogle out of seven candidates to represent them at different functions throughout the 1976-77 year.

The celebration included beard growing contest, girls wearing dresses Fridays and Sadie Hawkin's Day. On Sadie Hawkin' s Day awards were given to David Weihe for the best beard and Lisa Bogue got best dressed girl. Immediately after there was a picnic conducted in the halls with the girls and their dates. To set off the evening a disc jockey dance was held.

The band really added to the spirit of our school. When they played the school song to bring everybodys spirits up, when the team wasn't doing so well, it made the people cheer on the boys and it gave the boys strength to make it happen. Spirt songs, pop tunes, or concert pieces, you just never know. 29 30 Top Photo: First Row: Dorine Athem, Sheri Higgins, Connie Tyson, Janet Donahue, Galen Atkinson.

Below: Tom Sheldon, the leading tackier in the league, was chosen to the first team all-state at his linebacker position. The Southwestern Heights Spirited Mustangs start- ed their 75' football season with what many people thought would be a rebuilding year. After losing 16 lettermen from the '74 District runnerups, head coach Boyd Ayer would have to rely on a very in- experienced team. The Mustangs responded nicely and ended the sea- son with a respectable 6-3 record and a third place finish in the Iroquois league. The final season record has to put many smiles on the Mustang coaches as they shall return many let- termen and starters from this years squad, and should have gained much experienced from the past season. 42 Left: Brian Headrick, quarterback, runs out of the reach of a Protection defender and gains valuable yardage.

The Spirited Mustangs from Southwestern Heights finished the season with a respectable record of 12 wins and 8 losses. Under first year head coach, Gary Carson, the Mustangs again were faced with the lack of height, but used their good jumping ability to offset many of their opponents. Five of the Mustangs losses came to the hands of highly regarded and state ranked Meade Buffaloes, and the Ran- gers From Greensburg. Meade again won the league championship with Greensburg finishing second. The Mustangs played each one of these teams very com- petively before faltering at the end. 50 Both Meade and Greensburg advanced to the Sub-State finals be- fore faltering. Meade was beaten by the eventual state champions Oakley. The Mustangs did bring home the 2nd place trophy in the Iroquois League Tournament. The Mustangs were defeated in the Cham- pionship game by the score of 63-49 to the hands of the Greens- burg Rangers. The Mustangs season came to an end when again they were on the short side of a 45-40 defeat to again, the Greensburg Rangers. Left: Jeff Riedel goes in for a lay-up against the Ulysses Tigers.

Moving On Zo — Qirls Show Promise Southwestern Heights girls Mustang basketball team completed a 1-15 varsity record. The B-team finished with a 0-6 season record. Although these records show a very hard and rough season these girls were always looked on with respect for their hustle and desire. These girls did not have any type of basketball program be- fore entering Southwestern Heights and probably could have quit half-way through the season, but these girls never gave up and always gave forth 10Q% effort until the final buzzer rang. Winning honors for the Mustangs were Melinda Brom- well and Debbie Denton being picked on the Honorable Mention team. Being picked by their team mates for honors received were: Team Captain, Nancy Utz; De- fensive player, Ann Fruechting; Hustler Award, Me- linda Bromwell. 56 Mustangs Zake Second Jn State Most The Mustang tracksters journeyed to Manhattan for the state indoor track meet and wound up getting 2nd place in the team competition. Brian Headrick won the State 70 yd. high hurdles while Dan Schaffer finished second in the 60 yard dash. The Mustangs continued to improve each track meet. They finished in the top five of every track meet which included 4 2nd place finishes. Brian Headrick and Dan Schaffer both qualified for State in their respective events. Schaffer qualified by getting 3rd in the 100 yd. dash and Headrick qualified by getting 2nd in the 120 high hurdles. Both were dis- appointed with their performances at State, but both can look to next year, as they are only juniors. All in all it was a great year with much hope for the years to come. 57 Dan Schaffer qualified for state with a personal best of 9.9 in the regional track meet. Greg Donahue wound up his high school career in the distance events running against some of the best distance men in the state. 58 Qirls Win 2nd At Mome The girls Mustangs were very competitive throughout the entire year. They showed everybody that they had the talent to finish high in every meet. The girls fin- ished 2nd in the Southwestern Heights invitational and also finished 2nd in the SWH freshmen-sophomore meet. The girls finished 6th in the league track meet. The girls did not qualify any finals for the State track meet but they should be very competitive in the years to come as they will return many from this year s squad. 59 May Zeams Mum Many ,---------- ... i e ■HXu . 60 (jolf Zeam Wins Ttrst fa league Again The Southwestern Heights Golf team completed another suc- cessful year of golf.

Sturdy, determined pioneers hacked away at the edges of a raw continent and, with blunders and achievements alike, modeled a country with a spirited nature and a united commitment to individual liberty for every one of its citizens. Americans, great and not so great, have given us a heritage to carry on and improve upon. Farmers and soldiers, industri- alists and merchants, dreamers and leaders, are all there in two centuries of progress. But the maturing isn't finished. You'll find the boundaries of growth as endless today as when our forefathers first envisioned them. You can seek out your own destiny with the wisdom and judgement which comes with re-creation of the past. Your knowledge, dreams and industry will carry on through many more centuries of living history.

Z Y ' 'A.-myty ( f Al £ , CHAPTERS OF AMERICAN HISTORY The Stamp Act of 1765 was an attempt by Eng- land to tax items that were wholly American. The colonists reacted in seething resentment which erupted into angry protestations. The first blood of the American Revolution was spilled during one such incident at Boston in 1770. Several Americans lost their lives over a snowball thrown at a British sentry. In the fight to achieve commerce equality, the United 5tates found itself in a naval war over shipping lanes. Fort McHenry was heriocaily held during a British naval bombardment, and the stars and stripes still flew after a night of hard fighting. The next morning Francis Scott Key penned the immortal words of what would become the national anthem. Settlers had to have permanent access to the new lands, so canals and bridges were built to carry stages and wagon trains loaded with machinery destined for settlements in the West. The pioneers foresaw great wealth in the cheap acreage that was available. Frontiersmen cleared the wilderness, built set- tlements and drove back the Indians. The Pony Express and the telegraph became primary means of communication. Agriculture was the wealth of the country. American inventions of the time were often re- lated to working the soil. The McCormick Reaper, mowing machines, textile looms and the cotton gin were instrumental in the settling of new frontiers. In 1348, James Marshall found gold in the race of a sawmill he was building for John Sutter at Coloma, California. The lust to get rich quick was the force behind this biggest and gaudiest gold rush ever. While gold rush fever gripped the country, slates were increasingly more divided on the slavery issue. Civil war broke out in the East. This Brothers War was bitterly fought and, though the scars remain even today, slavery was abolished. Cities grew at an alarming pace; often without regard to the limits of safety. The great Chicago fire of 1871 burned the bustling cattle market empire beyond recognition. But the pioneer spirit was not broken. Chicagoans began re- building and preparations were underway to celebrate the 100th birthday of the country. The Iron Horse. carrying homesteaders, greatly helped settlement of the new country. The first transcontinental railroad connected the country at Promontory Summit, Utah, on May 10, 1869. Transportation was setting the pattern for the American way of life The country became a mobile society with electric trolleys, automo- biles, farm machinery, and bicycles, all the rage. Along with the accessibility of travel came a new era of nationalism. A World Wtfr called upon the nation’s young men to urrlfe and fight. After the war in Europe, the nation pulled itself together and industry flourished once again. A carefree America bur- ied war memories in the new moving pictures, telephones, light bulbs, electric generators, stock market ticker tape machines, phono- graphs and a wealth ol inventions from the fer- tile minds of its young inventors. Baseball be- came the national sport and prohibition was law. Black Thursday, October 24, 1929, saw the American stock market crash to the lowest level in history. Panic set in as the unemployment level skyrocketed. The country was in its worst economic crisis. Slowly, but surely, the wounds of the crash. the dust bowl, and poverty healed.

The nation's .leaders scoffed: until December 7. 1941 Pearl Harbor1. Industrial production reached a peak during the war years. Upon their return from four years of battle, the veterans forged ahead with an eye on a better life for everyone. Several mod- erate recessions in the 50's and 60s reminded cautious citizens of past decades. Huge strides were being taken in the scientific field. Television became a part of every family's life. National events were household topics - while they happened — thanks to the new medi- um. Individuals and groups were seen on the tube' as they advocated new social reform, or justice, or special causes of their own. TV gave individuals and political systems power greater than ever before. Audio-visual journalism had made its impact. Nearly 100 years of strggling for civil liberties were realized when President Lyndon Baines johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 into law The Act outlawed segregation in any form. The seventies shed light on a new trouble for the nation as it approached its 200th birthday. The world's energy sources and natural re- sources were being used up faster than they could be replenished Americans once again waded into a new frontier. The energy crisis and ecology were prominent words in the language. Ways to save nature from the neglect of mankind and ways of preserving precious fuel without damaging that balance of nature were the objectives of Americans across the Country. Earth's crises spurred Americans into further pioneering. This time outer space. Ameri- can astronauts were the first on the surface of the moon and the U.S. was first to build a sky- lab for more scientific study. American is still learning and growing after a mere 200-year infancy. The original determina- tion of our forefathers was told again in the words of Neil Armstrong as he made the first step on the moon . a small step for man. but a giant step for mankind.

California (Jan. 12.1847) The Alamo. San Anlonio Texas (Texas Independence day March 2. 1836) THE CHANGING NATION Ownership of land had been just a dream to most of the colonists from feudal England. With the great expanse of cheap land opening up in the West, the dream became reality. The Louisiana Purchase of 1803 opened the first sizable frontier in the Midwest, but the nation was not ready for it yet. It took a growing market in the East, where land was getting high-priced and scarce, and develop- ment of good transportation, to really start the frontier movement. The Gold Rush caused hordes of settlers to take various routes to the Pacific Coast and its yellow riches. The railroads brought farmers and ranchers, along with the miners, who decided to stop all along the routes and build their homes. Railroads were instrumental in the quick civilization of the West, bringing people in num- bers so large that the resentful Indians were finally pushed back into unwanted and infertile areas. America became a haven for immigrants from every na- tion as freedom beckoned them to the teeming cities of the East, the plains, and the rich west coast farmlands. Sick of the Civil War and with their own lands divided up and lost, many Southerners set out to begin again in the virgin territories. Westering soon became the national tradition as North and South moved together toward a new life. Americanism was advanced socially, by the hard-working, bare-fisted types who settled the frontiers.

With trade goods cut to a minimum, determined young leaders of the time set out to find ways of surviv- ing without support from the Mother Country. Agricultural methods and machines and labor saving devices were designed by our forefathers. As frontiers opened, Yankee genius had to conquer natural barriers in the wild new country, so suspension bridges were invented and methods of transportation were perfected for the purpose of opening the untamed areas. Later, they sought to section off the land with the revolution- ary and controversial invention — barbed wire. Cooper's 1-horsepower Tom Thumb train in 1830 and later, automobiles like the first Model T, and the 4-horsepower airplane ; became American modes of travel from city to city and coast to coast. Americans knew that the fertile lands of this nation would produce unequalled harvests if machines were designed to take over for man. They knew also that trade routes were difficult to travel and manufacturing would have to be done close to home. The cotton gin, textile looms, drill presses and a reaper which could cut six times as much grain as a hand scythe were some of the tools invented. Protection for themselves and for their young country prodded inventors like Eli Whitney to perfect firearms and others to work on plans for the first submarine. Young inventors like Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison (called the nation's most valuable citi- zen) visualized machines that would light the country and open up communication with those in the far cor- ners of the nation. The telephone, telegraph, phono- graph and the first light bulb were discovered in the late 1800's and early twentieth century. This American way of doing for oneself inspired many to become inventors in their own right. Some sought to save labor and mass- produce for profit while others envisioned not only riches, but excitement and adventure as they discovered ways to defy nature. Throughout the past 200 years the American mind has been unleashed to take whatever paths necessary to ful- fill the needs. In the last half-century, the pace of dis- covery has been overwhelming and inventions for the taming of the universe lie in the grasp of America while the habit of finding a way is ingrained in its people. The seeds of industrial America were sown by these inventors resulting in today's mechanized society.

Imagine buying that acre of land you have spotted for $1.25! Or, even at the higher price of $10. Those are the prices offered to our founding fathers to encourage set- tlement of the wilderness areas of this nation. A stage wasn't the most comfortable way to go, but you could get from city to city for as little as $3 — at the amazing pace of six miles per hour. Compare today's wages with a 12-hour day in the early 1800's. A man earned 50c a day. Of course his dollar bought a little more than today's. Butter in 1826 was about 5c lb. in the Midwest; eggs, 3c doz.; corn 6c bu., wheat, 25c bu.; and a cow could be bought for $5. With travel becoming the American tradi- tion, you could choose train, wagon, horseback or the water. A canal ride, with bed and board included, averaged 3 or 4c per mile. And when you reached your des- tination, you could sit down to a 5, or even 10 course meal for 25c. (Ladies 20C, in consideration of appetite.) Farmers in the early 1800's could own the famous McCormick Reaper for a mere $100. But the Civil War increased prices as the machine became the first item farmers could buy on time payments for the sum of $1,500. A good suit of clothes then might cost $1.95 and ladies waists (blouses) were marketed for 49c to $3.50 with a whole dress pattern priced at 15c. Cookstoves. ''quality-satisfaction guaran- teed, could cost you $29.25 at $4 per month and a dandy heating stove could set you back as much as $5.73 and up. The first electric refrigerator cost $900 — which might be enough to make you faint on your 1907 fainting couch that had cost a mere $7.85. Your new baby travelled in the height of fashion in a wicker sleeping coach (stroll- er) for the sum of $12.04. If you had $1,500 in 1903 you could show off in one of the first automobiles. Ah, those were the days. Some of the cur- rent prices are reminiscent of those days, but at frontier prices, which were a whole different story. Hardy pioneers had to pay $2 a pound for sugar, too. And the same for a pound of coffee or pepper. Those items were only 15c per pound back in civ- ilized St. Louis. Flour was marked up 100 times for sale to the frontiersmen and dur- ing the famous Gold Rush, that precious commodity went for $400 a barrel. rOR KBW YOHJL with- d eta , bith i4 i lcb. bi urifd H ir Mtiraaas cofulicily on hand.
