CLIFF THOMAS KISMET, KANSAS 67859 316-563-7292 Mascot: THE MUSTANG Fight song: GO NORTHWESTERN GO Alma Mater: On the plains of Western Kansas, dignified to view. Southwestern Heights is proudly standing. Hail, all hail to you. Lift the chorus, speed it onward. Raise her with all our might. Hail to thee, our Alma Mater, hail. Southwestern Heights. The 1987 yearbook staff would like to thank you for your support. It's for people like you that we selected such a special theme. We have selected On the Road to Greater Heights for our theme because On the Road tells how each student must get to school every day. Our school is 3.5 miles from both Kismet and Plains, so, by the end of the year, all stu- dents have spent a lot of time On the Road. To Greater Heights tells where each student strives, either in academics or as a part of the many activities. The word Heights can also be used as a reference to our school. Southwestern Heights High School. So, we hope you'll now join us On the Road to Greater Heights !

This Could Be The Beginning Or The End! Is this the beginning or the end? It's a question every senior must answer. Will graduation end their formal education, or will gradu- ation mark the beginning of an in- tense concentration on career edu- cation? Many seniors have already made plans for the future. Tracy Stapleton, Terri Malone, and Janay Dunham are among those planning to attend college after graduation while Shawn Zimmerman's plan is ''to be successful. Are the seniors prepared for what- ever life may bring? JaNae Lampe said she feels she is very well pre- pared for college, and that The teachers were always willing to help me. If you're not prepared for college after you leave here, it's your own fault, added Sean Holland. Could this be the end to some of the many friendships that have de- veloped over the years? Holland said, Our class is close. We care for each other, and we're interested in what everyone's doing. We're the greatest class. I'm really going to miss these people. It scares me to death, said Ellena Simpson, to know that I have to face the world on my own. I don't know if I am ready to say good-by to all of my friends yet. When Arnold Saucedo was asked what he thought about the class of '87, he had only one word to say, Awesome! Seniors have many different emo- tions about this being their last year. John Konkel said he was re- lieved. Dee Beaver commented that she felt wonderful. Excited was Barb Jennings' comment, but Wes Staples said that he felt nervous. All of these factors contribute to the seniors' journey on the road to greater heights ! VIII Seniors Stick Together These senior government students have to stick together, not because of Mr. Mark Webb's tough classes, but because this is their last year together. After graduation, they will be scattered all over the nation. Some will choose to go to college, and some will choose to work. Whatever happens, the possibility of the Class of '87 ever being to- gether again is slim. CLASS OF 2 JUNIORS NINETEEN EIGHTY ON THE ROAD TO GREATER HEIGHTS Pictured above are the junior class officers: Danny Darroch, student council representa- tive; Michelle Amen, president; Sheila Lambert, vice-president; Janna Stapleton, secretary-treasurer.

I feel that the junior year is one of the most important of our high school years. By saying this I mean there are many obstacles that the junior class has to overcome. These consist of some things like raising money through magazine sales and con- cessions for the junior-senior prom, and this is also a time when we have to choose what profession we would like to enter after we graduate, said Danny Darroch, and he adds, But you got to keep on partyin'! Through the years of high school, students make very strong friend- ships. These friendships help you through the troubled times, the good times, and the memorable times. It's always really hard to say goodbye to seniors that you have made your dearest friends, said Michelle Geisinger. Even though the junior year is one of the most exciting years of high school, it is also one of the tougher years. Some of the classes are pret- ty tough, but you have got to take them in stride and do your best, said Rodney Rice. The junior year also provides the opportunity to excel in sports. I feel that it is a real privilege to be able to participate in varsity sports. I love to play basketball, and I think it will help me to learn how to work with others effectively, said Janna Stapleton. During this year many juniors de- termine what their major in college will be. I know I want to go into the fine arts in college, so I am in- volving myself in all the music and drama I can while I'm in high school, said Michelle Amen. Responsibility, obstacles, friend- ships, excelling, decisions — all of these are leading the juniors on the road to greater heights.

Saucedo Gail Shoemate Roby Widener Brian Williamson One of the highlights of being a sophomore, according to Doug Kaberlein, is not being a freshman. Sophomores get to initiate, instead of being initiated. A feeling of au- thority spreads through the class. “We are no longer the unnoticed; we're the sophomores, said Amy Hall. Andrew Garza says that soph- omores have more privileges, one of which is being allowed to choose some elective classes for their schedules instead of being locked into a certain schedule as they were as freshmen. Both Sherry Correll and Mindy Amerin say they feel they were privileged by being a part of varsity sports, and Amerin said, We not only have good athletes in our class, but we also have smart peo- ple. Achievement of good grades is part of the responsibility being learned by the sophomores — re- sponsibility which will allow them to be better prepared on their road to greater heights.

It was awkward at first, but now I'm having fun, says Amy Barr, who is happy to see old friends and meet new ones. Andy Servaes was apprehensive about pushing pennies for fresh- man initiation. Having a chance to play with one of the best football teams in the 3A district is what Shane Schell and Scott Hamm like the most about high school. The football team has gone further than they ever have since 1974. There are many changes freshmen have to undergo. They have to ad- just from being the oldest in grade school to being the youngest in high school, to going to a school not in a town, and to a wider vari- ety of classes. I like it better out at Heights because you are more free to do what you want, and the teach- ers treat you more like an adult, says Justin Louderback. FRESHMEN 13 Students Smile Fun Is Part School isn't just smelly chemistry experiments, overdue library books, biology tests, composition assignments, and impossible alge- bra problems. School is pre-home- coming festivities, winning games. Of Daily being with friends, sharing secrets, exchanging smiles in the hall — or getting a picture taken with a pal. All of these are reasons to grin boldly or to smile shyly. This is a Life school in which all students, re- gardless of class, join in fun and activities. Each student is a part of the student body, not just a class or an age. Along with hats and shades day, baby day, and red and black day, toga day was a part of football homecoming week. Sharing fun and comparing styles and colors of togas in the balmy autumn air are (front) Tina Hobbs, Shannon Williamson, Sherry Correll, (mid- dle) Carla Eastman, Deanna Howard, Bev Bierman, Amy Hall, (back) Mindy Amerin, and Gail Shoemate. 14 STUDENT LIFE All work and no play make Jack — and Matt Barr and Sherry Correll — dull. Students can always find time to share a joke or a quiet, happy moment with each other. Tommy Cook exhibits his pride in being a member of the Mighty Mustang football team as he shows off the stickers on his helmet. Team members earned the horse, horse shoe or the skull and crossbones for outstanding defensive and offensive plays and hard hits. Brian Crist is the type of student who smiles no matter what is happening. Give him a smile, he smiles. Give him a frown, he smiles. Give him a test, he smiles. Whether Crist is smiling shyly or grinning broadly, he brightens many people's day. STUDENT LIFE 15 Students Concentrate Decisions Part Of Life A class ring is a memento of high school that lasts forever. Choosing a ring takes time and concentration. One must decide on a style, a stone, the metal, and, of course, the size he thinks he will be wearing in 10 or 20 years. Randy Nelson checks sizes with the help of the salesman as Bryan Rickard, Rol- lie Palmer, and Jon Handy absorb the proce- dure. The decision they make is one that they will carry with them from now on as their class rings identify them forever as graduates of SWH. No matter what these students do or where they go, the ring will remind them of their high school years. While ordering class rings is one of the first major decisions a high school student makes, ordering graduation announcements is one of the last. Helping the senior class decide on an announcement that will fit the personality of the class as a whole as well as each senior individually are Tonya Brooks, Ellena Simpson, Amye Fox, and Shannon Williamson. David Thompson looks over other samples in the background. 16 STUDENT LIFE NINETEEN Pictured above are the school board mem- bers: (seated) Mr. Sam Douglas, Mrs. Karen Miller, and Mr. Warren Fox; (standing) Mr. Don Thorp, Mr. Von Richardson, Mr. E.

Band Marches On The Spirited Mustang Band began its busy year with marching in three parades and five football games. The first parade was during the Little World's Fair in Kismet, and then the band marched in Hutchinson at the Kansas State Fair where they received a I rating. The last parade the band marched in was during the Christmasing in Plains celebration. The band added some new pep mu- sic to their list and became the pep band for all the home basketball games. The highlight of the pep band's season was playing the Star Spangled Banner prior to the girls' championship game at state tournament. The pep band then began to trans- form into a concert band. The con- cert band performed a pre-contest Pictured above are those band members who took solos to state. In the front row are Carla Eastman, Amy Hall, Ann Adams, Tracy Stapleton, and Michelle Amen.

Directly below, the band lines up to march in the Kansas State Fair parade. concert, a spring concert, and at the activities banquet. In addition to these performances, they competed in the High Plains League Contest and the state contest. The band earned I ratings at league and a ll at state. Members of the band also com- prised the orchestra for the fall musical, Once Upon a Mattress. The band is typical of the many organizations that help to lead us on the road to greater heights.

Copy, Captions, Cut Staff Learns New Techniques This year's yearbook staff learned that putting this book together involved much more than just snapping a few pic- tures and writing a few words about those pictures. One of the goals of this year's staff was to record every event and every person involved in the school district. This meant scheduling pictures anywhere from 7:00 a.m. until 11:00 p.m. Photogra- phers Ismael Alvarado and Mr. Cliff Thomas went everywhere in the district, and Alvarado often boarded a bus to travel with one of the athletic teams to get pictures of teams in action. The staff members responsible for the volumes of writing, copy fitting, picture taking, and page make-up are pictured from the top left. Marty Aragon joined the staff second semester. Janay Dun- ham came to the staff with experience from last year. Cekaye Bergstrom worked on the staff the first semester. Rodney Rice was a staff writer and sometimes filled in as photographer. Al- varado was the staff photographer, and Mr. Thomas took the pictures of all the large groups. Advisors, Mrs. Johnson and Miss Mor- gan, assisted with layout and typed all the copy. Cheerleaders Add Spirit Football cheerleaders (above) show one of the many stunts they learned at camp. Building the pyramid are Deanna Howard, Tracy Stapleton, Michelle Amen, Amy Hall, and (r) Beverly Bierman, Amye Fox, Beth Fox, and Tricia White. Many things promote spirit and enthusiasm in a school — a win- ning team is just one of them. Someone to promote unified crowd participation is another. This has been done very well by the cheer- leaders this year. Beginning last year with their election by a com- bined vote of student body, faculty, and community, these girls have attended camp and practiced through the summer to be profi- cient at their job, and it is a job. Learning to cheerlead means more than learning yells. These girls must also learn dance routines, jumps, and chants that the crowd can follow. They also must know and understand the games they cheerlead for. This year was the first year that each sport had just one squad be- cause the junior varsity was elimi- nated. Below are the basketball cheerleaders showing another stunt. Michelle Amen, Tricia White, Amye Fox, Beth Fox, and Deanna Howard form a bridge with Amy Hall, Tracy Stapleton, and Terri Malone as the base. Michelle Amen and John Konkel sing one of their duets as Princess Winnifred and Prince Dauntless, the main characters of the drama. Winnifred and Dauntless eventually become married despite the intervention of Dauntless' mother, the Queen Aggravian. Once Upon A Mattress The auditorium resounded with music, laughter, and applause as the choir pre- sented the musical comedy Once upon a Mattress. Students revealed their tal- ents as they sang, danced, and played their way through the two performances. Many people, besides the actors and ac- tresses, were involved in this production. Mr. Larry Annable, directer, was assisted by Mrs. Laura Brandherm and student director Janay Dunham. Mrs. Mary Ellen Langhofer constructed costumes, Mrs. Mary Ann Burdick provided and applied makeup, and Mr. Jack Dunham constructed the set. Although hours and hours of hard work were involved, many students stated that they would definitely repeat this exper- ience. Bev Bierman said, Yes, I'd love to do it again! It's so much work, but it's worth it! Sherry Correll said that the best thing about being in the musical was working together and making it enjoyable and successful. It was scary the first night, said Ali Gregg, but after that, it was fun. Doug Kaberlein, a member of the or- chestra, said, Learning all of the hard music in such a short time was the hard- est part of being in the orchestra. When asked if he would do it again, he answered, Of course, it was fun trying something different like that. Amye Fox as Queen Aggravian plots against Prin- cess Winnifred with the court wizard, David Til- ford. Aggravian does not want the princess to marry her son. Dauntless. DRAMA 29 Matt Barr, James Fox, and Ann Adams sing and dance. At least Barr and Adams sing. Fox played a king under a spell of silence. Cast members perform the finale. The cast, in order of appearance in the perfor- mance, included Matt Barr, Minstrel; Shanda Wheeler, Princess 12; David Tilford, Wizard; Tricia White, Lady Larken; Amye Fox, Queen Aggravian; John Konkel, Prince Dauntless; James Fox, King Sextimus the Silent; Ann Adams, Jester; Arnold Saucedo, Sir Studley; David Linaweaver, Sir Luce; Marty Aragon, James Cook, and Shane Schell, Knights; Sheila Lambert, Paula Roehr, and Cara Fox, Ladies-in-Waiting; Sean Holland, Sir Harry; Jessica Heimann, Kitchen Wench; Michelle Amen, Princess Winnifred; Amy Barr, Emily; Beth Fox, Lady Mabelle; Robert Dufield, Sir Harold; Ellena Simpson, Lady Beatrice; Bev Bierman, Nightingale of Samarkind; Barb Kirby, Cekaye Bergstrom, Linda Bond, Michelle Geisinger, Jennifer Stacey, Gail Shoemate, Tami Stapleton, Tina Monroe, Cristi Amerin, Sherry Correll, Ali Gregg, Johnna Widener, Caralee Greenwood, Chrisa Pearson, Bonnie Wells, Lorena Rivera, Janna Stapleton, and Tracy Coats, Ladies of the Court; Robert Bazer, Nathan Simmons, Will Holmes, Kevin Zimmerman, and Terry Patzel, Lords of the Court. 30 DRAMA Director for the production was Mr. Larry Annable who was assited by Janay Dunham, student director, and Mrs. Laura Brandherm. Orchestra members relaxing after a tough job well done are Jeff Hill, Doug Kaberlein, Andy Servaes, Joell Dunham, Julie Dunham, Amy Holmes, and Mindy Amerin. Tricia White and Sean Holland as Lady Larken and Sir Harry provided both conflict and comedy relief with their troubled love affair. Bev Bierman played the flamboyant and noisy Nightingale of Samarkind who was supposed to help the Queen prove that Princess Winnifred was not a real princess. Kris Thomas, Gus Aguirre, Bobby Saucedo, Scott Hamm, Bryan Rickard, J.J. Saucedo, and Chris Rickard handled the lights, curtains, and props. DRAMA 31 Groups Win Honors One of the goals of Mr. Larry Annable, vocal music director, has been to increase the numbers, the quality, and the perfor- mances of the choir. He began last year by holding tryouts for this year's group. Those tryouts, talking to students and active recruiting have helped him to add the particular voices he has needed to attain a balanced sound. The number of performances has also increased. In November the first major performance was held. All of the choir members participated as singers, danc- ers, and actors in the musical-comedy, Once upon a Mattress. Almost as soon as the stage set was struck, the costumes were returned, and the makeup was removed, the choir Members of the freshman ensemble are (front) Cara Fox, Tracy Coats, Lorena Rivera, Caralee Greenwood, Chrisa Pearson, Tina Monroe, Bonnie Wells, Amy Barr, (back) Robert Bazer, Will Holmes, Terry Patzel, Shane Schell, David Tilford, Kevin Zimmerman, James Fox, Marty Aragon, and Jessica Heimann.

As the last strains of familiar and new Christmas music died away, the choir members began their annual work for contest music. Ratings for the groups in contests were choir, II at league and state; mixed en- semble, I at league, regional, and state; freshman ensemble, II at league, I at re- gional, and II at state. Soloists receiving I's at league were Ann Adams, Amye Fox, Sean Holland, John Konkel, Arnold Saucedo, Tricia White, Michelle Amen, Bev Bierman, James Cook, Beth Fox, and David Tilford. Matt Barr, Will Holmes, Cara Fox, Shanda Wheeler, Shane Schell, and David Linaweaver received II's at league, Jennifer Stacey received a III. I Regional contest rules required two songs rather than one as at league. Those participating in regional were Adams, II; Barr, I; A. Fox, II; Holland, I; Konkel, II; Saucedo, II; Amen, I; Bierman, II; Cook, II; B. Fox, II; Holmes, I; Tilford, III, and C. Fox, II. State contestants were Barr, II; Holland, I; Amen, II, and Holmes, II. The mixed ensemble, the Mustang Singers, are pictured at the top. Qualifying for state festival were Ann Adams, Bev Bierman, Tricia White, Amye Fox, Paula Roehr, Shanda Wheeler, David Linaweaver, Sean Holland, Arnold Saucedo, Matt Barr, Michelle Amen, and John Konkel. Many members of choir worked individually to prepare vocal solos for contest. Those taking solos were (front row) Cara Fox, Beth Fox, Ann Adams, Tricia White, Bev Bierman, Shanda Wheeler, Jessica Heimann, Jennifer Stacey, Amye Fox, Michelle Amen, (back row) Will Holmes, Terry Patzel, Matt Barr, Sean Holland, Shane Schell, David Linaweaver, Arnold Saucedo, David Tilford, James Cook, and John Konkel. Qualifying for state festival were Amen, Holmes, Barr, and Holland. Choir officers elected at the beginning of the year were Beth Fox, secretary; Michelle Amen, vice-president; Bev Bierman, student council; Matt Barr, president. Seated at the piano is the choir accompanist, Amye Fox. CHOIR 33 The Future Farmers of America have had a busy year with all of their money-making projects, community services, judging contests, and conventions. The FFA has had many money-making projects this year including concession stands and the sale of magazines, fruit, cheese and sausage, and peanuts. Before a money-making project is started, the produce that was to be sold was checked out by Mr. Arthur White, the advisor, who talked to the sales representative and made sure that the product was up to standard. Then the members voted on the project to see whether or not the project was to be sold. Finally, Mr. White contacted the sales representative and ordered the amount the group wanted to sell. The members then went out into the community to sell the product. The concession stands for the football and volleyball games have been done by the FFA for the past 22 years. Being involved with the community is an important part of the FFA. They have hosted dinners for soil conservation and alumni reunions. They were also involved in what is called the BOAC, Building Our American Community. The chapter went into the community and painted street signs and the numbers in front of houses along with trimming trees to better the community. They are responsible for the tractor safety courses at the high school where students learn how to operate tractors safely and responsibly. Our chapter was also involved with a program called Food for America. There was a committee from our chapter that went to the grade schools to talk about nutrition and hand out leaflets to the grade school students. They put on a skit to educate the children about where the food comes from. Then the FFA cooked hamburgers for everyone to eat. Another aspect of the FFA is judging. Judging is a fundamental part of the FFA. The members who chose to go to a contest selected either dairy or livestock selection. Each participant judged four animals in eight classes and then gave three reasons why he put them in the order he did. The officers of each chapter in the state go to the state convention Below left Jennifer McKee, Pat Cole, and Brenda Winkler visit the Agriculture Hall of Fame at Bonner Springs, Kansas, where they were invited to attend the dedication of a sculpture specially dedicated to the American Farmer.

At the state convention, state officers and a sweetheart are elected, and awards are given to certain individuals that make accomplishments in the FFA. This year our officers went to the national convention in Kansas City, Missouri. At the convention, national officers were elected as the state officers are elected except on a much larger scale. Our chapter attends the national convention every other year. This year approximately 22,000 members attended the national convention that lasted three days.

Drama Students Win The word forensics is somewhat mis- leading as the participants are no longer restricted to the study of argumentative discourse. Our team participated in dra- matic events as well as speaking events. There are eight categories of competi- tion, and each person on a team is eligi- ble to participate in two events in eight tournaments or festivals. The season begins in January with selec- tion of materials and practice. Each com- petitor must cut and revise his material until it fits the time limitations and then must write an introduction appropriate to the material. Most performers must memorize their acts or speeches. Through the season, most of the compe- titions are tournaments involving com- petition in three preliminary rounds. If one is ranked high enough in compari- son to the others in his rounds, he then goes to a finals round in which he com- petes with the top six from all the pre- liminary rounds. If he places first, sec- ond, or third, he has qualified for the state festival. In festival competitions, the performer presents his act or speech once for a rat- ing of I, II, III, or IV. All of the competitions are on Saturdays, and practice time with the coach is after school. This year's state contenders included first- year competitors, Bev Bierman (top right) and Jeff Hill (bottom right). Both Bierman and Hill received a III on their interpreta- tions of prose. Also competing in state were Janay Dun- ham and Shawn Zimmerman who received a I for their improvised duet act. Dunham and Zimmerman have competed together for four years. Shanda Wheeler and Terri Malone qualified for state but were unable to attend. They qualified together in duet acting, and Wheeler also qualified in interpretation of prose. Team members are (front) Dea Johnson, Shanda Wheeler, (on chairs) Shawn Zimmerman, Amy Hall, Julie Dunham, Bev Bierman, Jeff Hill, Janay Dunham, Terri Malone, and (standing) coach, Mrs. Laura Brandherm.

National Honor Society is an or- ganization which honors those stu- dents who have attained high grade point averages. A student may be- come a member of NHS as a sopho- more if he has earned an A- average as a freshman. To remain a mem- ber, he must then keep a B+ aver- age through the rest of his high school classes. The organization is sponsored by Mr. Bob Kaberlein. Their main ac- tivity is a trip on alternate years. This was the year for a trip, and the group went to Topeka to tour the capitol and to Hutchinson to tour the Cosmosphere. They left early on Sunday and returned very late Monday. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY 37 A sponsor's work can be varied.

An Intelligent Breed Quiz Bowl Answers The quiz bowl team is different from any other team because the five member team is chosen by the entire faculty on the basis of speed and accuracy, not in shooting a basketball or kicking a football or in running a race, but in answering questions. The team is coached by the school counselor, Mr. Bob Kaberlein. This year's team consists of five members: Sean Holland, JaNae Lampe, Wes Staples, and Tracy Stapleton, seniors, and Rodney Rice, junior. This team prepares for a match in a slightly different way from other teams, too. They watch television, read current magazines, and listen to the radio. Once at a meet, howev- er, the energy level approaches that of any other team. To receive points the team must buzz in to be recognized after a toss-up question is given. If they answer correctly, they have the op- portunity to win more points with additional correct answers. If they should answer incorrectly, they lose points, and the other team has a chance to answer. The questions used at quiz bowl meets cover not only regular school topics, but they also cover everything from religion to current events. This was the first year a Hi-Plains League meet was held. All of the schools in the league participated, answering questions submitted by faculty members throughout the league.

The SADD chapter was started in August of 1985 by the driver's edu- cation instructor, Mr. David Neal. Neal said, We've got our chapter established this year, and now we hope to make it into one of the most active organizations in the school. SADD stands for Students Against Driving Drunk. The goals of SADD are to help eliminate the drunk driver and save lives, alert high school students to the dangers of drinking and driving, conduct community alcohol awareness pro- grams and to organize peer coun- seling programs to help students who may have concerns about alco- hol. One of the most important pro- grams of SADD is the Contract of Life. This is a signed agreement be- tween the student and his parents stating that if any of them have had too much to drink, he or she will call for safe transportation. To help make students more aware of how real the drinking and driv- ing problem is, the chapter invited Mrs. Wanda Stewart from El Dor- ado, Kansas, to tell her story of the accident caused by a drinking driv- er which resulted in the death of her three-month-old son, Scott. At Christmas, a chain of life with every high school students' name was hung around the cafeteria. The idea was to keep the chain intact: to avoid breaking it with an accident during the holidays. Our chain of life was not broken. SADD Slogan SADD president. Matt Barr said, I think that the students here need to be more aware of drinking and driving. The problem getting this organization started is that the stu- dents don't want to face the facts. It is a problem, and it needs to be taken care of right now. The officers of the newly-established chap- ter of SADD are Shannon Williamson, vice- president; Barb Jennings, secretary-treasur- er; Tricia White, student council; Amye Fox, publicity, and Matt Barr, president.

Y-Teens is an organization for high school girls supported by the local wom- en's group, YWCA. The purpose of both organizations is to provide a Christian organization through which girls and women can undertake local and national service projects. The organizations join together in many projects and for many fun activities. One of these activities is the secret mother-daughter event. Each year, the women and girls are paired up. One of the pair doesn't know the other, making her either a mys- tery mother or a mystery daugh- ter. This year, the women didn't know who their daughters were. The job of the mystery daughter was to write her mom and give her some inconspicuous clues about herself. Gifts were exchanged sev- eral times throughout the year. The first was at a Christmas party spon- sored by the daughters. Cloud Nine and Hot Line Shoes put on a fash- ion show using the girls as models. The year ended with the revealing of the secret daughters. Jan Schai- ble was the guest speaker at the pot-luck supper. The YWCA group in connection with the Y-Teens gave Jan a special quilt made just At left, Bev Bierman read a poem as a gift of love to Jan Schaible at the Mother-Daughter Banquet. At right, students dressed in beach attire watch the air band perform at the beach party. for her. The quilt's squares each had a symbol that represented Jan and her work for the organization. Gifts were again exchanged after the meal, and the mothers present- ed ceramic mugs with the word Love molded on them to the girls. The girls work each year to raise money for their service projects. Love, and Hug! This year they had a beach dance with a special guest appearance by the air band group, Dirty Minds ' per- forming some of the Beach Bo'ys' music. On the Friday before Valentine's Day the girls sold balloons and suck- ers. The money raised from this sale was given to the Ronald McDonald House at Wichita. Near the end of the year, they also sold M M's. The money was used on other service projects and on a scholarship for one of the seniors.

Y-TEENS 41 Council Conducts Activities Some of the many activities in the school year were due largely to the efforts of the student council. The council is made up of representa- tives from each of the classes and organizations. They are elected by the members of those classes and organizations. The student council is responsible for the football and basketball homecomings and usually work on these two activities in conjunction with the cheerleaders. They choose themes and decorate for these dances. The council earns the money neces- sary to sponsor these events from the pop machine and the foosball tables. Throughout the year they have the responsibility of main- taining these machines. Tracy Stapleton, above, introduces the basketball homecoming queen candidates and their escorts. Below, Jerrod Handy restocks the pop machine. Stapleton and Handy are co-presidents of Student Council. Each student council member represents a specific organization.

Senior JaNae Lampe (7) (righl returns a serve. The 1986 Lady Mustang volleyball team set a goal for the season: to do better than they did last year. This goal, which included returning to the state tournament, seemed al- most impossible since graduation had taken five seniors from last year's squad. Four returning sen- iors, JaNae Lampe, Terri Malone, Paula Roehr, and Shannon Williamson, however, with the help of the underclassmen, rose to the pressure. They provided that winning atti- tude and the 'never say die' spirit that the team needed, commented head coach, Barry Mellen. It was because of this spirit and attitude that the team became know as the Attackers. Attack in volleyball means the same as spike. We wanted to keep the attack on, said Mellen. As the season progressed, it became obvious that the girls definitely had what it took to meet the goals they'd set. Although they lost their first league game to Elkhart, they then pulled together and won the next three games. Manager Ann Adams said, The team continued to improve during the whole sea- son, but they finished a disap- pointing third at the Hi-Plains League Tournament. Then with a sub-state loss in the semi-finals, it became apparent that the Lady Mustangs, the Attackers, would not be returning to the state tour- nament. The team that beat the Attackers, however, went on to place fourth in the state tourna- ment. Williamson said, Despite our dis- appointment of not getting to re- turn to state, I felt we had a very successful season. We beat Meade! For the first time in history, SWH beat Meade in volleyball. This year's team also set a new school record in winning percentage with 19 wins and 10 losses. The 1986 team is sure to remain in our memories, not only as one of the best volleyball teams our school has ever produced, but also because of their total team effort. It's this team effort that leads our school on the road to greater heights.

The opening football game against the Elkhart Wildcats was just a pre- view of things to come for the Mus- tangs. The Mustangs had an out- standing season, winning the dis- trict title and becoming bi-district runner-up. The last time the Mus- tangs had this much success was over a decade ago. The Mustangs had many memora- ble accomplishments this year. Jerrod Handy, senior, said, Beat- ing Hugoton was the greatest mo- ment I remember. I remember the first game because I think I played a good game, said Brian Williamson, sophomore. It wasn't only individuals that played good games; it had to be the team. If one of us made a mistake or messed up, the rest of us would try to make up for it. It was a real team effort, said junior Rodney Rice. Just learning to play football isn't the only thing these players have learned. They have learned respon- sibility, getting along with one an- other, and how to become leaders. Maybe even more important, the players have learned to take care of themselves. I've noticed that the players in the last couple of years have been more physically fit than in the years before because of the weight lifting facilities, said sen- ior trainer, Janay Dunham. The Mustangs' season has shown determination and effort, and by showing their commitment, these young players are definitely on their way to greater heights. 46 FOOTBALL MUSTANG SCORES SWH OPPONENT 14 Elkhart 0 38 Ashland 18 27 Holcomb 13 0 Cimmarron 14 33 Meade 7 55 Syracuse 0 40 La kin 0 9 Hugoton 6 42 Leoti 12 BI-DISTRICT 13 Cimarron 14 JUNIOR VARSITY 8 Elkhart 12 7 Beaver 0 6 Holcomb 20 6 Cimarron 34 0 Meade 14 Jason Priest, left, cuts back against the Leoti defense in just one of his many spectacular runs of the year.

FOOTBALL 47 Besides winning games as a team, many individual honors were accumulated by the players on this year's Mustang team. The team captains elected by the players were Calvin Beaver, Jerrod Handy, Jason Priest, and Arnold Saucedo. Each week the coaches named the outstanding players for defense, offense, specialty, and most inspirational. Those players designated this year on defense were Brian Williamson (Elkhart and Lakin), Rodney Rice (Ashland and Holcomb), Arnold Saucedo (Cimarron), Calvin Beaver (Syracuse), Darren Bromwell (Hugoton), and Gus Aguirre (Leoti). Designated offensive players of the week were Jason Priest (Elkhart, Holcomb, Syracuse, and Leoti), Bobby Saucedo (Ashland), and Jerrod Handy (Meade, Lakin, and Hugoton). Specialty players named were Bobby Saucedo (Elkhart and Syracuse), Jason Priest (Ashland and Lakin), Brian Williamson (Meade), Sean Holland (Hugoton), and the kick-off return team (Leoti). Gus Aguirre's kicking often made the difference between winning and losing a game. Here line holds up Ashland's defense while Aguirre adds the extra point. Most inspirational players throughout the season were Bryan Rickard (Elkhart), Darren Bromwell (Ashland and Syracuse), Will Holmes (Holcomb), Jan Gerber (Cimarron), Jon Handy (Meade), Scott Hamm (Lakin), Gus Aguirre (Hugoton), and Jan Ratzlaff (Leoti). An important part of the Mustang team is the managers, trainers and statisticians. Manage were David Thompson, James Cook, and David Tilford.

The senior girls weren't only lead- ers, but also an inspiration, added freshman Caralee Greenwood. Regardless of what brought the success of this team, it's a coach's dream come true. Coach Mellen said, These players had the best team unity of any team that I have ever coached. I think their self sacrifice, that is each member thinking only of the team as a whole, was the main reason for our success! The three D's (de- sire, determination, and defense) were the only reasons for the Lady Mustangs' successful season. It's a season like this one that will remain in our memories for the rest of our lives. Greenwood said her favorite memory was in the locker rooms after the games. We'd joke around, say the Lord's Prayer, and hug each other if we won and cry together if we lost. Cara Fox and Gail Shoemate said their memories of this season will always have Coach Mellen telling a joke.

GIRLS' BASKETBALL 49 Spectators see basketball as a sim- ple, high paced game. But to some high school girls and a couple of coaches, basketball means a lot of hard work and long hours. For four long months, basketball becomes the girls' job. They work from 3:05 until 5:30 or 6:00. By the end of the season the girls have put in close to 200 hours of work. At minimum wage ($3.35 an hour), each girl could have earned about $700. Their employers, the coaches, had to work more hours than the girls did in preparation and strategy plans. Both coaches have a wife and two children, all pre-school age, a time fathers are a great asset to a child's development. Is a sport such as basketball so important that the coaches are willing to give up fam- ily time and the girls a $700 part- time job? According to freshman Tracy Coats, Practice was the hardest, but it was all worth it to go to state. State wasn't the only success the 1986-87 team had. They were Hi- Plains League champs, Hi-Plains A Big Job Tournament champs, Hi-Plains Pre-Season Tourney champs, JV Tournament champs, 2A Sub-State champs, and 2A State Runner-up. Sophomore Mindy Amerin said that not all the success was because of the hard work, but because ev- eryone wanted the team to succeed. It was total team determination that allowed their success. There weren't any stars; everyone was just part of the team doing their job, commented senior JaNae Lampe. Pictured above is the 1986-87 girls' basketball team. Front row: Lorena Rivera, Tracy Coats, Cara Fox, Tami Stapleton, Bonnie Wells, Caralee Greenwood, and Gail Shoemate. Behind them are assistant coach Jeff Quenzer, Mindy Amerin, JaNae Lampe, Paula Roehr, Barb Jennings, Sherry Correll, Delores Saucedo, and head coach Barry Mellen. The team members are wearing their medals from the state tournament, and the team trophies are in front of them. port. I saw people at state that I'd never even seen at a ballgame be- fore. Paula Roehr remembers the last day of practice in the school gym. We (the seniors) whipped up on the freshmen because we knew it would be our last practice in our home gym. But all of the girls will remember going to state and playing in the state tournament. Fox and Shoe- mate both said, We're proud to be part of the state runner-up team. Our goal for next year is to go back. A lot of us plan to go to camp to improve our basketball skills. For 50 GIRLS' BASKETBALL the seniors, however, it's all over: no more high school basketball. They will never again put on those red, white, and black uniforms that show they're a Mustang ball play- er, but their influence will continue for years to come. Mustang basketball is a tradition, a tradition that began in the 1960's when our first team went to state. Since then we have sent 14 teams to the state tournament. As the girls continue on their road to greater heights, and the junior high is on the road to Southwestern Heights, our basketball team's goal will al- ways be to be on that road to state.

The Mustangs were beat out in the semi-final round against Trinity who went on to win state with the Mustangs placing third in class 2A. Basketball, like other sports, isn't a game one plays just to pass the Jason Priest, a valuable senior player, goes hard to the board for two points. time. There is more to it than that. A team has to work together in or- der to play well together. Playing basketball helped me get along with others because we were to- gether every day working hard for the same goal, said Jerrod Handy. Basketball is also a teacher for life. It helps build character. Basket- ball has prepared me for life by teaching me how to discipline my- self, and that if you want to accom- plish something, you must work hard to accomplish it, said Jason Priest. proud to be a part of this team, not only because of the success, but also because of the friendships and closeness we all felt toward one an- other. Throughout life, everyone's princi- ples are challenged sometime or other. Being part of a team has helped these young people believe in themselves, and this will help them become responsible leaders in the future as they travel the road to greater heights. There is something special about being part of a team, something that gives a person a good feeling toward himself and his teammates.

Golfers Train For Present And Future that can be played at one's own speed so it is ideal for those who wish to continue playing long past his or her high school days. Learning to play golf correctly can be frustrating at first, but our team members have learned that the game is much more enjoyable when it is done right. This year's team has not only en- joyed the game, but they have obvi- ously done it right. They placed first at Garden City, second at the SWH Invitational, and third at Hu- goton and Johnson. They also placed second at the League Tour- nament which is their highest fin- ish to date at league. The golf team has been represented at state ten times out of the past twelve years. This is an outstand- ing record for a team to go to state so often, showing dedication and devotion to the game. GOLF 57 Craig Giesick qualified for the state tourna- ment held at the Salina Municipal Golf Course by finishing 5th Medalist at the Class 3-2-1A Regional Tournament with a score of 87. Giesick has upheld the SWH Golf tradition by representing SWH at the state tournament for the tenth time in twelve years. Golf is a unique sport. It is a com- petitive activity both for teams and for individuals. It is also a sport that can be a lifetime activity. This is what makes it so unique. Unlike those sports which force a person to find a team to be on or an oppo- nent to play against, a person can play golf all alone. It is also a sport The individual honors of the team members include the following: Varsity — Sean Holland - 10th Medalist at Sublette and Leoti, 1st Medalist at Hugoton, 9th Medalist at League, 5th Medalist at SWH; Doug Fox - 9th Medalist at Lakin, 3rd Medalist at League, 2nd Medal- ist at SWH; Chris Rickard - 10th Medalist at Lakin; Kale Giesick - 10th Medalist at Hugoton; Craig Giesick - 5th Medalist at Regional, 8th Medalist at SWH.

Homecoming is for alumni who can come back and be a part of the school again. This means that the school from which they graduated will always be a part of them. It is a time to see old friends as well as make new ones. Homecoming isn't just for students; it is for graduates, too. This year's football homecoming was this kind of special day. Emo- tions were shining in every eye: wonder in the eyes of the queen candidates as they waited for the announcement of the queen's name; confidence in the eyes of the football players as they waited to meet the Cimarron Bluejays on the playing field; anxiety in the eyes of the spectators as they shared in the emotions of the players and the candidates. Michelle Amen received the homecoming The 1986 Football Homecoming Queen Michelle Amen and her court Amye Fox (1) and kjss from her escort Jason Priest. Tricia White (r) reigned over the football game. Gus Aguirre escorts queen candidate Tricia White onto the football field. Michelle Amen's escort Jason Priest takes her from the car onto the field. Amye Fox is escorted onto the field by Jer- rod Handy. The homecoming candidates were Amye Fox and Tricia White, sen- iors, and Michelle Amen, junior. I was nervous, excited, and laughing because Rollie (Palmer) was gun- ning Mr. Annable's car around the track, said Fox. The girls' escorts were senior foot- ball players Jason Priest, Jerrod Handy, and Gus Aguirre. As a tra- ditional part of the homecoming festivities, last year's queen was also present. Bonnie Bierman was escorted by senior Calvin Beaver. As JaNae Lampe read biographical information about the candidates and their escorts, the girls were dri- ven around the track. They stopped and were escorted from the cars to a position in front of the home crowd. Lampe made the announcement, Ladies and gentlemen, the 1986 Football Homecoming Queen is . . . Michelle Amen! Amen said her reaction at the time was, I don't believe it! After the coronation the game got under way. Both teams played well, but by the end of the first half, neither team had scored. The sec- ond half was another story. Cimar- ron was able to pierce the tough Mustang defense and scored twice, giving the Mustangs their only de- feat in regular season play. The traditional homecoming dance followed the game. Sponsored by the student council and the cheer- leaders, the dance was held in the social science area which was deco- rated in the school colors of red, black, and white. The special theme honoring the queen was You Take My Breath Away. I hacj a lot of fun. It is something that 1 will never forget. I only wish that it wouldn't have gone so fast. I was sad to see it end, said White. The Homecoming Queen and her court watch the football game. In the front are Shad Jacobs, crownbearer, and Brandi McAdams flower girl.

Mr. Jerry Gerber and Mrs. Mary Ellen Langhofer planned the seating and the program. Mr. Arthur White's classes set and took down the tables. Few people realize how big a part activi- ties play in a high school, but parents, friends, and supporters who attended the annual activities pot-luck supper saw just how many students are involved in activities and how many sponsors and coaches it takes to keep things running smoothly. Very few high school students do not belong to some organization or team, and all of those members were honored. Filling six long tables with food, the par- ents and friends of those students gath- ered with the teachers, coaches, adminis- trators, and all their families to wind up the busy school year. Because students were being honored, they were the first ones in line to eat. Filling their plates are JaNae Lampe, Wes Coats, Arnold Saucedo, Matt Barr, Doug Langhofer, Barbara Jennings, Brian Williamson, Jerrod Handy, and Danny Darroch. These students' families joined them in eating along with the families of the coaches, teachers, and administrators. Mrs. Beth Cook (left) and Mr. Jack Johnson (right) recognized students involved in Y- Teens and golf. Both explained highlights of the year for the activities. They were joined on the program by coaches and sponsors representing all of the athletic teams and organizations. The evening began with the invocation by Mr. Jim Ratzlaff and the national an- them and the Mustang fight song played by the Mustang band. Everyone then filled their plates and enjoyed the fellow- ship of eating and visiting together. A coach or sponsor of each activity dis- cussed the highlights of the year. The evening was concluded with the choir singing Like an Eagle and the alma mater. Mr. Ratzlaff gave the benediction. ACTIVITIES BANQUET 65 Homecoming On Friday The 13th The superstition about Friday the 13th is known widely but was not evident during the events that pre- ceded the game and the crowning of the 1987 homecoming queen. The events began on the Friday be- fore with the announcement of a competition to determine the most spirited class of the school. The competition would be based on the score each class received during nu- merous events throughout the week. The most obvious competi- tion was in the dress participation. Monday was manic Monday on which students were to dress as though they had just gotten out of bed. Tuesday was hat and shades day, but the day most students participated in was on Wednesday, tourist day. Actually, if they hadn't participated, they would have ended up in the wrong classroom maps were handed out to aid the tourists in their journeys. Without the maps, everyone would have been lost because all the teachers had changed classrooms. Wednesday was also the judging of the hall decorations. The hall winners were the seniors, last year's most spirited class and obviously strong contenders for this year's award. Thursday was cowboy day and also the ever- popular air band contest. The seniors' group, Calvin Beaver, Paul Gregg, Sean Holland, Jason Priest, and Wes Staples, won this part of the contest, too. Friday was In the picture below is the 1987 Homecoming Queen, Shannon Williamson and her atten- dants Amye Fox and Tricia White. Above Wes Coats bestows the traditional homecoming kiss on the queen.

Candidate Amye Fox was escorted by senior Jerrod Handy. victory day with everyone wearing red, white, or black, and the voting for homecoming queen took place that morning during first hour. The voters chose among Tricia White, Shannon Williamson, and Amye Fox. Then during seventh hour, the traditional homecoming pep assembly took place. The band opened the pep rally with the school song after which the cheer- leaders led the group in various cheers. A skit, a take-off on the movie Friday the 13th, was pre- sented by the cheerleaders. The movie is a horror movie with a Jason as the main character. Par- ticipating in the skit was our own Jason, Jason Priest. Following the skit was the final competition, the original cheer. This event was won by the fresh- man class after the entire class and their three sponsors ran onto the gym floor and spelled out in hu- man letters, GO MUSTANGS! The juniors won the best legs con- test, and the freshman class was announced the winner of the most spirited class award by accumulat- ing the most points during all the competitions throughout the week. The girls' varsity team continued breaking the old Friday the 13th tradition by beating the Lady Wild- cats. Between the varsity games was the crowning ceremony. The theme song, Love is Forever, was sung by Michelle Amen, as Tracy Stapleton announced the queen. Shannon Williamson. The boys' varsity team went on to prove the superstition completely wrong by defeating the Elkhart Wildcats. The queen with her court reigns over the basketball game.

BASKETBALL HOMECOMING 67 Girls Ask Boys Sadie Hawkins' Day originated in Dog- patch, U.S.A., a legendary town with many unmarried girls and many shy young men. This was the one day of each year on which a girl could chase a boy, and if she caught him,they were immedi- ately married. While marriage isn't the goal of the girls on our Sadie Hawkins' Day, this is the day of the dance to which the girls invite the boys. Sponsored by the student council, the dance was held on the out- side patio. Despite somewhat chilly spring weather, almost everyone showed up in summer wear, including jams. Rocky Denney, disc jockey, played the music for the dancers. George Eakes (top) proved to be a real Southwest Kansas Dogpatcher in his jams and cowboy boots as he danced with Gail Shoemate. Looking on as Tracy Stapleton, Wes Staples, JaNae Lampe, and Estella Bierman dance are Paul Gregg and Vance Wright. Mr. Jim Ratzlaff, student council sponsor, receives the admission money from Terri Malone (above) as she pays for her date, Roby Widener. Part of the tradition of this day is that the girls not only invite the boys, but they also pay for everything on this night. Rocky Denney (left) announced and played the records for the dance. Denney is an exper- ienced disc jockey and kept the music and the dancers going all evening. Many students attended this informal dance that was the last function of the student council for the year. Classes Have Fun Throughout the school year, stu- dents work together in class com- petitions, in sales, in their class- rooms. As the school year comes to a close, they get together for some relaxation and fun with class par- ties. While class parties have taken var- ious forms in the past, pizza parties were the favorite this year. After taking orders, collecting money, and phoning in the order, the stu- dents could relax and eat pizza de- livered right to their door. Using this time to visit without the pressures of games or tests or hav- ing to race off to do something else, the students became reacquainted with one another and caught up on what everyone had been doing the past year. This seemed to be some- thing they hadn't had time for dur- ing the busy school year. vantage of this special time, the freshmen and the seniors. The freshmen were the first class to get together, and after they ate piz- za, they divided themselves into two groups: the volleyball players and the swimmers. Their class sponsors also took part in this event. Mr. Barry Mellen supervised and played in the volleyball match; Miss Vicki Raines lifeguarded; and Miss Carla Morgan took pictures. The seniors also chose to eat pizza. Their sponsors were Mr. Jack Dun- ham and Mr. Dale Currier. Jason Fletcher, Justin Snovelle, and Andy Servaes were part of the group of swimmers at the fresh- man class party. They were also part of the group that practiced their fancy and painful dives. This year, just two classes took ad- Left, the freshman volleyball game dissolved into a free-for-all. Somewhere in this pile was one of the class sponsors, Mr. Barry Mellen. Above Ellena Simpson, Amy Holmes, and Dee Beaver enjoy the pizza at the senior class party. CLASS PARTIES 69 The Day Before . . . Prom is always a very busy day for the junior class and their sponsors. All of the decorating must be done in one day. This year the class had a special challenge in front of them. Because new curtains were in- stalled on the stage, the prom and banquet were moved to the gym. Plans for decorating such a large place had to be carefully set up to avoid such things as a shortage of decorations, the dance floor being on the basketball court, and easy access to an exit close to the kitch- en. Because of the small number of juniors, careful plans also had to be made not to spread themselves too thin or leave the entire job to just a few people. Junior class sponsors, Mr. Edward Rush and Mr. Clifford Thomas, were responsible for this most organized effort. The preparations for prom didn't At right, Rockie Denny, Richie Sherer, and Allan Kirk hold the arch supports while Danny Darroch and Jeff Louderback tape the supports together. Below, Cekaye Bergstrom puts more tape on the arch while Linda Bond helps carry the covering for the arch. At right, Jan Ratzlaff and Bart Stapleton are working with the streamer spreaders to cre- ate the false ceiling.

Above, Johnna Widener, Michelle Amen, and David Linaweaver construct the star mobile which was hung above the dance floor. actually start on the day before prom. It actually started in the fall with magazine sales and then con- tinued into basketball season with the concession stand. The junior class had the concession stand at every home game including the sub-state tournament. After the magazine sales and the concession stands, the juniors could pay for the prom decorations. The colors and theme for prom then had to be voted on so the decorations could be ordered before Christmas. Next, the hooks had to be placed in the walls around the gym for wire to be strung for the streamers. Name tags had to be typed for the tables) and catering arrangements had to be made. Invitations had to be ad- dressed and sent out to all seniors, board members, and faculty. How- ever, the junior class found this to be the easy part. The hard part was putting together the decorations. They came with so-called easy assembly instruc- tions, but the arch that separated the dance floor from the banquet tables had to be taped together and held in place by sand buckets. The streamers all had to be even, but tight enough that they wouldn't fall or sag overnight. Large amounts of tape were used to hold the backdrop for pictures in place. Most of the decorating was fin- ished by the time school was dis- missed. Everyone who helped in the construction felt exhausted but thoroughly satisfied with their ef- forts. They had done their best to make this prom special for the sen- iors. All that was left now was to go home and wait for 6:30 p.m. to come on April 4. Hunter Herron, Rodney Rice, and Mike Keith hold the supports of the arch while Danny Darroch retapes the joints.

Blue and silver streamers, stars, and arches were used to decorate the east side of the gym. The ban- quet tables were on the south end with the dance floor on the north end. A silver arch with blue stars separated the dance floor from the banquet area. Blue and silver streamers were used as walls to cut off the rest of the gym and hide the bleachers. Each banquet table was covered with a white paper table- cloth. A single silver streamer striped the center of the table. Blue candles in star shaped candle hold- ers were placed on the silver streamer. Chains of silver stars hung from a blue and silver The Mustang Singers performed the theme song Somewhere Out There. The junior servers are Amy Hall, Cynthia Ferguson, Beverly Bierman, Roby Widener, Bryan Rickard, Jan Gerber, Sherry Correll, Bobby Saucedo, Beth Fox, Gail Shoemate, Jon Handy, Chris Rickard, and Brian Williamson. Below are some dancers enjoying the music provided by the D.J. streamer ceiling. The dance floor had a carousel of stars hanging in the middle between the disc jockey and his disco lights. Stars were placed on the floor and hung from the ceiling. A punch and cookie ta- ble was in the corner. The evening started at 6:30 with a candlelight banquet catered by Stuart Louwer of Liberal with the help of the junior mothers. Michelle Amen, president of the junior class, served as the toastmistress and welcomed the guests and honored the seniors. Mr. Jim Ratzlaff gave the invocation. Jason Priest, senior class president, thanked the juniors for all their efforts. The Mustang Singers, led by Mr. Larry Annable, sang several songs, including the theme song, Somewhere Out There. Sophomore servers then brought the meal: non-alcoholic strawberry daiquiri, filet wrapped in bacon, baked potato, corn, tossed salad, rolls and strawberry short- cake. After everyone had fin- ished the meal, Amen gave the closing remarks. The dance started at 8:30 and lasted until midnight. Between the banquet and dance, Mr. Cliff Thomas took pictures of those groups and dates who wished to have a pictorial memory of the prom. Junior class sponsors and their spouses are Mr. and Mrs. Ed Rush and Mr. and Mrs. Cliff Thomas. Then prom was over. The stream- ers were torn down, the tables were returned, and the gym once again took on its sporty appearance. All that was left were pieces of memo- ries: pictures, memory books, glasses, name tags, and those spe- cial feelings that are between friends in the junior and senior classes. PROM 73 Seniors Receive Diplomas The combined baccalaureate and commencement exercises for the 1987 seniors were held Sunday, May 24. The exercises began with the tradional processional, Pomp and Circumstance. Pianists were Michelle Amen and Cynthia Fergu- son. Reverend Sheldon Tucker, pastor of the Plains Friends Church, gave the invocation and the benediction. The guest speaker was Reverend Jim Little, pastor of the Kismet and Plains United Methodist Churches. A saxophone trio composed of Tracy Stapleton, Michelle Amen, and Shannon Williamson played Fugue in Baroque Style, and the Mustang choir sang Like an Ea- gle.

Kismet Has Building Year USHE7 11SHE7J .25 i The Kismet Pirate volleyball team fin- ished its third season in the Santa Fe Trail League with a 3-4 record. This re- cord gave the Pirates the 4th seed in the league tournament, hosted by Kismet. Kismet defeated Copeland in the first round of the tournament to advance to the semi-finals against undefeated In- galls. Ingalls defeated Kismet in the clos- est match of the tournament, sending Kismet to the consolation match. Kismet was then narrowly defeated by Deerfield and ended the tournament in 4th place with a final season record of 4-6. The Kismet Pirate football and basket- ball teams had tough seasons. The foot- ball team was 0-6, and the basketball team was 0-12. Despite this record, said Coach John Jones, I was pleased with the teams7 efforts. They played hard, never quit until the final gun, and showed true sportsmanship throughout the year 7 The Lady Pirates had a very good year as they compiled a 10-4 record and placed 3rd in the Santa Fe Trail League Tourna- ment. The Lady Pirates won two games in overtime, and seven of their wins were by margins of five points or less.

While not competitive as a team, there were some fine individual performances through- out the season, with some excellent chances for new school and meet records next year. This year's team finished sixth overall at the Santa Fe Trail League track meet. The Kismet Junior High cheerleaders at- tended the Spirit Spreader Workshop in Dodge City early in the fall where they learned new cheers, chants, and spirit- raising ideas. These girls then led cheers during football and basketball games and organized spirit activities at K.J.H. They also performed a pom pon routine at home basketball games, at a Seward County Community College basketball game, and at a S.W.H. basketball game.

Plains Builds Teams An expanded schedule and several key victories gave the Plains Junior High volleyball program a big boost this year. The A and B teams each played five matches this year, making this the longest volleyball schedule in the history of the school. Both squads finished the season with 2-3 records. The high- light of the season for the B team was defeating Meade's B team on Meade's home court. Coach Vicki Raines said, The season highlight for the A team was defeating Sublette's A team on its home court, giving Sublette's 8th grade class its first loss in two years. The football team had a 1 - 5 record because of a lack of numbers, but Coach Cook stated the team remained enthusi- astic throughout the campaign. Coach Larrell Cook said, The tremendous hustle and unself- ishness displayed by the girls made them an exciting team to watch. The girls' basketball team had a 6 - 3 record and won second place in the Iroquois League. The boys' basketball team finished their season with a 3 - 6 overall record. Although finishing with a losing record, the time and effort by the team proved to make the season success- ful, said Coach Allen Walter.

Plainsmen Show Spirit The Plainsmen girls' track team competed in five meets this year, the school's longest schedule in several years. The expanded schedule helped the athletes improve sig- nificantly throughout the season because of the increased amount of competition. Sev- eral girls turned in personal best perfor- mances throughout the year, and can look forward to great success in their future track years. The Plainsmen boys' track team proved to be a success this year. The five track meets have been a big help to provide even more experience for the team. The Plainsmen cheerleaders displayed en- thusiasm and good leadership at the Plains Junior High football and basketball games this year. The girls spent many hours prac- ticing and preparing for their performances and also attended the Spirit Spreader Clinic in Dodge City where they learned new cheers and routines. The squad also had the chance to display their skills before a large group of fans as they performed their rou- tine at a Southwestern Heights basketball game.
