Streamers of blue and gold decorated all of the class rooms, lockers, and halls, sweaty palms, nervous worried faces; all of these and more were the symp- toms of the 1981 homecoming week and its activities. Nevertheless, the traditional day before activities continued to carry on in their usual manner. The traditional mass given in hon- or of homecoming celebrations. The banquet honoring all the ath- letes and coaches sponsored by the Ramlbing Rams. The homecoming festivities went well even though it was an extremely cold night. When half- time came, the adrenalin was pumping through the veins of all three candidates. They wondered who would be the chosen one. The one who would be the new 1981 St. Xavier homecoming queen. And finally after the antagoniz- ingly long wait, they found out who the winner was. Kim Charo- whas, escorted by Chris Hulett. Kim had chosen “Open Arms” by a popular rock group, “Journey”. The varsity and junior varsity cheerleaders performed a routine to Electric Light Orchestra’s “Hold on Tight to Your Dreams.” The theme selected for homecom- ing. A very special appearance was made by Msgr. Keogan, who was just recovering from extensive sur- gery. Msgr. carried on his tradi- tional duties of crowning the new queen.

Homecoming 5 “Sweet Dreams” Are A There was no formal banquet to start off the evening of “sweet dreams” on April 30. The seniors, juniors and their dates went their own ways to various restaraunts for dinner before heading to the school for the dance. The dance started at 9:00. Elegantly dressed ladies and suited men entered Bradley auditorium to be greeted by gorgeous decorations. A large gazebo graced the center of the floor. A stairway led up to the stage where the dancing took place. Streamers of blue and sil- ver, the seniors colors, decorat- ed the ceiling. Large crepe pa- per balls, representing ballons, hung from various places around the room. The formal dance ended at midnight but those glorious “sweet dreams” continued long into the night.

The graduating students marched up the aisle to Pomp Circumstance and took their places. Each received their diplo- mas and listened to the guest speaker, Bishop Kuchera. The Bishop talked of the future and the importance of morals and val- ues. He stressed the fact of striv- ing for an utmost point in our lives, but remembering the impor- tant things that make us happy. The Bishop expressed what Msgr. Keogan had said earlier, that this was one of the best classes to gra- duate from St. X so far. After the graduation procee- dures everyone went over to the assembly room for the reception. The tears and smiles showed what a great year and graduation it had been. BELOW: The graduation officials wait for the graduates to proceed up the aisle.

Graduation 9 Spotlight On Acting — It was not quite a Broadway performance, but the all-school play “Father Knows Best” de- lighted an audience of over 150. The performers consisted of the first all-school cast in a long time. Practices were many and long but it all paid off on December 1, 1981-the night of the play’s first and only performance. The curtain raised at 7:30 to re- veal the set of a living room in the late 1950’s. The art classes had put their talents to good use by help- ing create colorful backdrops. “Father Knows Best” was co- produced by the two Oral Com- munications teachers, Miss Ad- ams and Mrs. Schaffer. Both ef- forts were rewarded with an out- standing performance, a bouquet of flowers for each, and a round of applause.

Juniors concentrated mostly on American Literature while the seniors worked on Old English Literature. Miss Adams intermixed grammar and spelling throughout the year. Mrs. Schaffer’s freshmen and sophomore English classes alter- nated quarters with grammar and literature. The sophomore class also produced the quarterly “Ram Time” paper with the ever popu- lar gossip column. Aside from the normal English classes, Mrs. Schaffer and Miss Adams taught the Oral Communi- cations classes. Oral Communica- tions I looked at all the aspects of communicating, from pantomime (communicating without words) to speeches and presentations. Oral Communications II, taught by Miss Adams, worked on pre- senting themselves and getting their thoughts across to other peo- ple. Both classes worked together frequently on many assignments including field trips and a major school play, “Father Knows Best” produced and directed by both teachers.

Although the 1981-82 Choir didn’t do a lot of singing in church at Friday masses, they found other activities to keep them busy. They performed for the Ladies Reading Club and the Circle meetings. They com- peted in Regional and State music festivals. Soloists Jill Croy and Martha Payne re- ceived II ratings for their per- formances while Sharmett Pin- since was rated a III. Aside from teaching the high school choir, Mr. and Mrs. Cowan also taught music to the grade school and junior high. They also conducted the adult choir that sang at Sunday masses.

A new advisor, Miss Urban, didn’t take any pressure off either, but with co-operation and dedication the 1981-82 yearbook got off to a shaky start. Writh inexperienced photogra- phers, the job of trial and error was left to Bill Roberts and De- saree’ Parker. Things got a little sticky in the photography depart- ment for awhile but with the help of the representative from Jos- ten’s, everything worked out. The staff had many trials and tribula- tions, but somehow they managed to survive and once again a year- book was published.

Yearbook 19 Math: Educational Mut 3m You have probably seen equations like this before x - 6 x = 8 whether it be in Geometry. Advanced Math, Algebra, or even General Math. Math is very impor- tant for our education. At times it may seem hard and meaningless but this year Dr. Dixson has tried to make it a little more exciting for his students. Mr. Dixson had a special bulletin board on which he put up the names of the stu- dents who showed outstanding effort dur- ing the week. Their names fell under the titles of computer, workputer. and neat- puter. For those whose work was not quite up to par got their name under the titles of dumbputer, loafputer, and slobputer. The names changed from week to week to give the student something to strive for. Mr. Winn may not have had any fancy bulletin boards but he still kept his High school classes interested. Aside from his highschool classes Mr. Winn also spent most of the day teaching the Junior High a variety of courses. St. Xaviers will be looking for two new Math teachers next year. Mr. Dixson will be leaving for Ingalls, Kansas, while Mr. Winn will go home to Oklahoma. BELOW: Mr. Dixson relaxes while the rest of the class works hard.

That seemed to be the basic equation balanced in Sister Mary’s chemistry class. If you think that’s all they learned, you’re wrong. Besides balancing equations, the eager chemistry students did experiments with un- predictable results, and learned all about the periodic table. Physics was Sister Mary’s other class and she’ll probably say it was a little rough, but after a little hard work and determination, they did manage to learn a few things. They learned a lot about light, heat, and wave lengths which will hopefully get them somewhere in life. The other science teacher was Mr. Kline. He had the task of teaching the basics of science in a class called general science. The students had to work hard to ab- sorb all the knowledge that Mr. Kline tried to teach them, which included the basics of an atom, the neutron, electron, and proton. The other class taught by Mr. Kline was biology. What’s biology you say? Well, It’s crayfish, frogs, amphibians, metacarpals and ecology all rolled into one. The students were able to learn about these things by doing worksheets, term papers, and a day of teaching class all by themselves. They seemed to thoroughly enjoy doing each.

If you walk into our school one day and just happen to walk downstairs, you might come upon a bright, colorful room, with Van Halen or Kansas painted all over the walls, a big tree stump in the middle of the room, or a few ma- crame’ planters hanging from the ceiling. If you haven’t guessed it al- ready, chances are you’ve encoun- tered the art room. Within this room, you will find the many art students working busily on their work which in- cludes weaving oi painting, water coloring, jewelry making, or just drawing free hand. And, as the saying goes-over every great stu- dent, there’s a great teacher. Well, this teacher is Mrs. Crank. She stands over them, teaching them everything they need to know, and making sure they do it right. She helped them on the background for the play “Father Knows Best” put on by the drama department, and helped make big plans with the freshmen to add a little color to the art room ceiling, along with getting students art work into con- tests and helping the seniors get scholarships. All this and more, helped make a great year in art. ABOVE: Richard McGuire caught in one of his rare moments, works diligently on his rug.

This being her last year to teach at St. Xavier’s, Mrs. Ptacek seems to have borderline emotions. Although she feels reluctant to leave because oif her close- ness with the students, she is looking forward to something new, different, and challenging. Most people think that all physical education consists of is doing push-ups, running, and jumping jacks, but how wrong they are! Her classes seem to catch a lot of the student’s attention and interest because of the depth they go into on learning the basics and fun- damentals of various sports, such as volleyball, basketball, tumbling, bowl- ing, and hockey. In health class they learn the con- cepts of health. This years freshman health class dealt with emotions, the body and its counterparts, problems in drugs, smoking, and alcohol, and first aid. They were also honored by having a guest speaker, Dr. Croy, who spoke on accupuncture. The advanced health class basically learned how to design a fitness pro- gram, learn about various types oif pro- grams available, learn proper body me- chanics, and evaluate their own fitness level. Because of each member’s partici- pation in this advanced class, they will also receive a certificate from the state of Kansas for completion of this fitness course. No year is ever different when it comes to accounting for the loss or gain of teachers. Miss Adams is a teacher to ABOVE: Chris Hulett is the “Leader of the Pack” as he breaks through the de- fense. 26 Health P.E. be added to those we have gained. Her knowledgeable abilities don’t just limit her to teaching English. Because of her enthusiasm, she also teaches Oral Communications II and Psychology. Psychology is a basic introduc- tion to psychological terminology and principles. Areas focused on include personality, learning, the influences of heredity and envi- ronment, and emotional and be- havorial adjustments. By means of individual inventories, group ac- tivities, experiments, and class discussions, they attempt to un- derstand themselves in the world around them and their ability not only to function in the world, but to thrive.

Well, the state- ment is only half right. When you enroll in one of Mrs. Wheelers classes, you have to be prepared to work, and work is what this years classes have done. The freshmen girls were able to construct com- plicated clothing from a pattern, and the guys were able to sew vests. But they did more than sew. Both the freshmen guys and the girls were able to try their hand at cooking with the art of making chocolate chip cookies to a full meal. Mrs. Wheeler also had classes called intermediate home ec., LOYO, and home ec II. In each of these classes she taught the stu- dents how to sew and cook, but they learned in advanced steps. By the time you finish one of these classes, you should be able to sew designer jeans to a prom dress, and be able to create a seven course meal in the kitchen.

The basic idea of this year’s teaching is their call to reli- gion as a teenager. The sophomore religion class is studying the types of religion in our world. Students researched other religions and shared their findings with the class. They also took a trip to Chapman for their class retreat. Trying to explore the life of Je- sus and to develope a relationship with Him was the topic for this year’s junior class. They took a day long retreat in which they lived the mass by gathering, lis- tening, sharing the meal, and de- parting. Senior religion was a big step for the seniors. Father Frank pre- pared them mentally for society. They learned all about love for one another and the responsibility that comes with it. They had to establish guidelines which would help them seperate right from wrong. They also discussed premarital sex, marriage and the responsibil- ities, knowledge, and emotions that these situations bring. Father Frank taught them the church’s views on these matters and how their knowledge of religion cannot be seperated from any of these to- pics on any other things they face in life.

His government class awakens with early morning lectures and note taking. Their main concentration is to get a ba- sic overview of life and learn how to use it. Mr. McKee also adds that he wants them to be an in- volved citizen, such as in the gov- ernment, and being able to vote. Mr. McKee’s third hour and fourth hour history classes study and compare the “early life” to to- day’s life style. They should be able to recognize how many re- peats his common errors and hopefully learns from them, so they don’t happen again. Fifth hour civics class learns the techniques of note taking and ba- sically a small amount of govern- ment and history. Also, they learn about the everyday lifestyle and learn to grow with the environ- ment. ABOVE: Kevin Bryant, Carl McNamara, and Peter Charowhas relax as Mr. McKee drifts off the subject in History.

She taught them all they need to know about the U.S. economy and how they can use this knowledge in the future. She did this by having var- ious speakers come in and talk to the class and taking them on a few field trips throughout the year. Her next class was her ever lov- ing typing class. She taught them how to set up and type manu- scripts and letters, and how to type, hopefully without looking at the keys. Her accounting class consisted of seniors. They learned all the basics, but the most important thing they learned was how to run a business.

This fire da- maged many of the records and transcripts. Mrs. Carter, the secre- tary had her work cut out for her retyping and refiling all of the re- cords. With the help of some stu- dents the school was cleaned up and in working condition in three days. Mr. Cale, returning for his sec- ond year, alsong with Mrs. Carter, also her second year, spent many extra hours working at school. Something new for the stdents this year was the lunch schedule. They had split schedules which took some of the rush off the lunchroom ladies. The students adapted to it well, and made the 1981-1982 school year great.

Monsignor Keogan was a blessing to us all. 40 Administration “Who says being small means that you can not accomplish any- thing at all?” This year’s fresh- men class is out to prove this statement wrong by making them- selves active in just about everyth- ing going on at St. Xavier’s this year. Besides their roaming the halls looking for someone to cause trouble with they find they didn’t have to try hard because trouble usually found them. But their par- ticipation in all sports, cheerlead- ing, Ramblin’ Rams, F.H.A., and other various activities is their way of showing the rest of the high school they are by no means an underclass. A few of the elec- tive classes the freshmen managed to undertake were home-ec, art, and choir. Being a class to uphold tradi- tion, the freshmen class stayed in this direction by choosing the suc- cessful idea of selling fruitcakes as their large money making project. It turned out quite well and the class made enough of a profit to add to their previous savings which will tide them over until it comes time for the preparing of their junior-senior prom. That’s what you call looking ahead, or preparing a path for the future.

Their eagerness and willingness to earn money has made them the only class to reach their goal which had been preset, while also exceeding last years goal by raising seven hundred and twenty dollars to help support Junior-Senior Prom in their junior year. A quote from Sister Mary seems to say it all. “They did a very good job in the magazine drive.” With so much spirit and enthu- siasm, this years sophomore class should have no reason at all to feel left out of school activities. Their participation in all sports, cheer- leading, Ramblin’ Rams, and oth- er various academic achievements have given them the honor in re- ceiving a well earned compliment from Mr. Kline. “They are very enthusiastic and extremely ener- getic.” Sophomores- Crying Zo Competitive Be A Class ABOVE: Sophomore class officers and sponsors.

Although plans for prom went well, a junior “skip day”, at which half the juniors attended, caused a few problems. Instead of going to Chapman for their religious retreat, they stayed at the Sisters of St. Joseph lodge near Milford Lake. Before they headed back home they stopped off at Milford lake where they talked and sang. Even though they didn’t have a major money making project this year, the class seemed to have suf- ficient funds for putting on a beautiful prom. ABOVE: Junior Class officers.

Not Pictured: Mark Archer Seniors 55 People Oh Zke Qo The senior class of 1982 exhibited leadership and participation throughout their last year in high school. The football squad was made up of nine seniors, the volleyball team had three sen- iors, the volleyball team had three seniors, the boys basketball squad had seniors for their starting five. The track team consisted of seven seniors with one senior out for cross-country. They were a competative class, competing be- tween classes as well as one another. Sometimes the competition became so important it caused internal problems. But when they needed to they got close and realized just how much they needed each other. In March they traveled to the Manna House in Concordia for their retreat. They went up on a Sunday and returned on Monday night. They did a variety of activities including playing games to get acquainted and to get in touch with their spiritual feelings. The retreat was lead by a sister and a group of novists. With everyone busy involved in sports, clubs, classes and outside jobs, their last year passes quickly. Before they knew it, it was time for graduation.

They became known as “old timers.” Being a catholic school and located by an army base there was always a great fluctuality in students, but one thing always remained the same, and this was the nine pio- neers of the 1982 senior class. Even though they all might not know every little thing about each other if asked to name one thing they remembered about each oth- er it wouldn’t be hard. Once they reached high school their classes weren’t all the same but as gradu- ation rolled around they felt a closeness to one another. Some- thing special only they had. They had the memories to share of the cute, childish, and naughty tricks they did, and love so much to do.

Their yells weren't quite as loud, but they were considerably smaller in num- ber, having only one male mem- ber. They started the year out by or- dering blue and gold, short sleeve shirts with “St. Xaviers Rams” written proudly across the front. The Ramblin' Rams also put their best foot forward this year by incorporating the school song in most of the athletic events. They also put together all homecoming activities.They pre- pared the banquet, dance, and for- mation for halftime. All this, mixed with a lot of spir- it, made a great year for the Ramblin’ Rams.

Pep Club 63 Building School Unity This years StuCo started off with an assembly to untie the school. They had a class competi- tion to see which class could pass a lifesaver from mouth to mouth with a toothpick, the fastest. This helped acquaint everyone, they met face to face. The StuCo offi- cers traveled to Topeka for a day long workshop in October. For a money making project they put on a victory dance after the St. George football game. Dur- ing the week of the Westmoreland game StuCo organized spirit week to promote spirit for the upcoming game. The various days included stomp day, tacky day, backwards day and dress up day. At a school assembly on that Thursday they awarded the winner for each day with some candy. BELOW: 1981-82 StuCo officers: LEFT TO RIGHT: Mel Griffen, Mark Reno, Pau lette Moore, and Mickey McGuire.

C.Y.O. faced many fall backs this year their membership was considerably lower and they weren’t as active as other years, but when they got together the accomplishments they achieved were certainly steps forward. They celebrated the holidays in various ways; they had a cos- tume party for Halloween, and they went caroling for Christ- mas. To the disappointment of the members C.Y.O. could not go to convention this year due to the large attendance, but that did not stop the enthusiasm the group expressed. On March 28 - 29 the members of C.Y.O. and numerous non members got to- gether for a 30 hour fast. They started things out with a big send off dinner and retained from eating for the next 30 hours. Each person had some- one sponsor them for $6.00, $2.00 for every meal missed. Sixty percent of the funds raised went to “World Vision.’ C.Y.O. was seen helping out in various other ways: like planting shrubs and plants around the school to beautify the surroundings. All-in-all whatever C.Y.O. got active in they certainly put their best foot forward. ABOVE: Dee Hall and Gail Bantugan fight over a candy bar as the fast is officially over. CYO 65 “Working for Zhe foture” _ The steps taken by FHA this year were certainly forward. Nothing can be backward when your working for better futures. Besides learning and improving their own sewing and cooking skills they helped out many others in various ways. The held holiday pre-school parties which every- one, not just the children enjoyed. They continued their support for March of Dimes by setting up competition between the classes and selling spirit chains to see which class had the most spirit. The juniors came out way ahead by contributing $23.50 to the March of Dimes. FHA also organizes the “Toys for Tots” program again this year. Under this program needy chil- dren got some happy surprises this Christmas. All these activities involved a lot of time and organization. Be- hind it all was the Home Ec. teacher, Mrs. Wheeler. She was the backbone of the whole group. She made the steps forward more definite, but a little easier. BELOW: FHA officers. LEFT TO RIGHT: Debbie Cimino, Mary Farlow, Dee Hall, and Lavette Parker.

This gave the squad much needed leadership that they had lacked in the past couple of years at St. Xavier. Matt McKee was back for his third year at St. Xavier and this season he came back with two new assistants, Kevin Dixson and Dave Hernandez. Coach Dixson helped with the wide receivers, tight ends and defensive backs. Coach Her- nandez had both the offensive and defensive linemen. He also con- trolled the defensive calls. Coach McKee trained the backfield, line- backers, and he was the offensive coordinator. The Rams ran a wish-bone of- fense as they had done for the past three years. The wish-bone is one of the most complicated offenses for a high school to run. They played a 5 - 2 defense that Coach McKee had developed for the team. They also had many defen- sive stunts and blitz that he cre- ated. McKee’s Movin’ Men started off the season in great fashion, winning their first six games, and outscoring their opponents 240 to 13. The defense had four shut outs during these games. The offense averaged 40 points an outing. After playing two district games, winning both over White City and Hope, St. Xaviers was ready to take on second ranked Marquette. Although the Rams were ranked fifth in the state they had confidence. Only losing by a point at half-time (7-6), they couldn’t hold off the Wolverines and lost 27 - 6. The loss almost crushed any hopes for the Rams to compete in the state playoffs. McKee’s Men lost their next two games to Canton Galva and West- moreland, finishing 6 - 3 overall and 6 - 1 in the Eisenhower League, for a second place finish right behind Westmoreland. With the large amount of re- turning seniors St. Xavier placed seven men on the all-league team. Making the first team offense were Mark Reno (back) A1 Hof- meister (guard), Jim Keating (cen- ter) and Sam Niemczyk (guard). Placing on the defense were Mark Reno (back), A1 Hofmeister (nose guard), and Chris Hulett (back). Selected to the second team of- fense were Chris Hulett (back) and Bill Roberts (quarterback). The only under classman chosen was Rob Charland at his lineback- er position receiving honorable mention. The team held their third annu- al football banquet on December 3. At the banquet Coach McKee recognized his players for a season of great playing. He lettered 23 players. The players in return gave Coach McKee a plaque. It had the inscription: “For a year of Coaching, leadership, and above all friendship.” Early in December word was re- ceived that three senior football players were named to the All- State 1-A football team. Mark Reno received first team All-State honors for his defensive play. A1 Hofmeister was selected to the first All-State offensive line. Hon- orable Mention honors went to Sam Niemczyk at his guard posi- tion. BELOW: Guy Rausch heads up field after making a catch in the Luckey game.

Football 71 Spirit, Pride, friendship This year’s varsity squad con- sisted of three seniors, seven ju- niors and two sophomores. The J.V. squad was mainly made up of sophomores and lots of hardworking freshmen. This year the entire squad learned all their basic skills thour- oughly. During the season, each player had a chance to be named “most improved player of the week.” With only three seniors this year, the team had to work hard to work with each other. When playing the Junction City Blue Jays it was clear that it would be a very good game and it was! With the Blue Jays on one side of the court and the Rams on the other, it was a battle to re- member. The Blue Jays won the first game but the Rams didn’t give up. They came back and beat the Blue Jays in the second game with good ball playing and work- ing well as a team. In the third and final game, it was a downfall for the Rams who had played hard the second match and was more able to come back and defeat the Blue Jays leaving the score, 17-15, and giving the Jays a win. Gina Bantugan was named All Tournament Team In the Her- rington Invitational due to her ex- cellent playing and hustle on the court. Gina was named first team all-league and Cindy McGuire and Chaney Jones were named Honor- able mention, for there profound- ing plays in the tournament, for the season. The coaches, Ptacek, Urban and Umscheid sparked the team with their enthusiastic ways and high spirits to win, which brought the team closer to unite as one. This year the Rams motto was “we come across” and when they worked as a team they knew the were on their way to a victory. Despite the Rams losses this season the year wasn’t really too bad. This year was the first victory in five years over the football players in the annual “football vs. volley- ball players.” That win was ac- complished with lots of fun and excitement on the court. Next year you should see a lot of excitement and action on the court with a more experienced team. A team that knows what team work is all about with their new coach, Urban, assisting them. The 1981 letterwomen include: Kim Charowhas; Melanie Griffin; Cathy Tomandl; Gina Bantugan; Cindy McGurie; Laura Hackley; Dannette Sulivan; Chaney Jones; and Michelle Majerus. All but three of the letter women will re- turn next year. BELOW: Chaney Jones practice her deadly serve before a game.

The boys won their first five games before losing to Westmore- land in a double overtime. This year’s team was under the leadership of Bud Kline. Coach Kline returned for his second year. Sylvester Stanley returned also for his second year, but left in February due to a new job. Help- ing the freshmen and the junior varsity this year was Terry Cana- day. Coach Canaday is a graduate from St. Xavier and a former Ram basketball player. The boys team went on to play in the Ike League Tournament. They were seeded third in the tournament and went on to take second place. The Rams were beaten in the last ten seconds by the Wakefield Bombers by one point. The Rams finished their Ike League season tied for second with the Westmoreland Wildcats, and one game behind Blue Valley, who finished first. St. Xavier’s record was 11-3 in league play losing by a total of 16 points and two over- times in the three games they lost. After the team ended their regu- lar season they went into the Re- gional Tournament. St. Xavier was seeded number one and re- ceived a first round bye. The tour- nament was held on the Campus of Kansas Wesleyan in Salina. The boys met the Ell-Saline Car- dinals in the semi-finals, but were upset by a score of 57 to 68. This years Varsity starters were five seniors. They were Mark De- vin (who transferred from the sen- ior high), Val Elliott, Chris Hu- lett, Bill Roberts, and Todd Winn. Jim Keating started for the Rams, but due to knee surgery was un- able to finish the year. The team finished with a record of 14-6 one of the best records in the history of boy’s basketball at St. Xavier’s. The Rams won more games this year than they did the past two seasons combined. The junior varsity was headed mostly by the sophomore class, having four out of the five starters being sophomores. Their record was 10-4 while the “C” team was a disappointing 2-4. Todd Winn, for the second year in a row, was named to the first team All-League team. Val Elliott was named to the second team and Mark Devin was selected for Hon- orable Mention with only playing half the season, due to eligibility for student-athlete transfers. Todd was also named to the third team of the Class 1A team. ABOVE: The junior varsity walks up court after a foul had been called at the the other end of the court during the Luckey game.

A new assistant coach and his daughter added to the Ram squad: Mr. Ron Jones and Chaney Jones. The girls had a good season. The rams were a second half team if the rams had the lead in the third quarter they won it. If they had some catching up to do the game would be close, except when they played tough opponents like Blue Valley Randolph! For the all - League selections Mickey McGuire was named to “2nd team,” and Lisa Majerus, to “Honorable Mention.” All classes made up the 1982 squad: On varsity there were eight players: 2 Seniors 4 Juniors, and 2 Sophomores. On B-team there was 1 Sophomore, 7 Freshman, four freshmen saw some varsity action. The Rams entered the league tournament with a record of 4 wins, 3 loses. In the first round of the tournament the rams battled the Westy Wildcats. The rams hustled and played good ball but the Wildcats came out on top beating the rams 31-28 A couple weeks after the league tournament the rams traveled to Wakefield and blew up the Wake- field Bombers: score 58-44 The rams season seemed to have just begun. When the Regional tournament rolled around. The rams were ready for anything, having never played Bennington before they had no ideal how the Bulldogs played or what they look like, but that seemed to have no effect. The rams stomped Ben- nington, leaving them in a daze; score 59-28 The highlight of the Regional playoffs was when the rams downed Hope Lions 33-28 in over- time. Coach Bill Winn was pleased with his tournament team players. The varsity players who contributed to the victory were Chaney Jones, Gina Bantugan, Cindy McGuire, Mickey McGuire, Lisa Majerus, Michelle Majerus, and Tonya Pennick. The other tournament team players were: Gail Bantugan, Carolina Davis, Carm Lueck, Buffy Majerus, and Colleen Walsh. For the Regional Championship playoff the Rams met Glasco at KWC but were beaten by four points, 38-42. The game was fought hard. Next on the agenda, the rams took a trip to Sub-State in Manka- to playing the first round of the championships against Blue Val- ley, where the rams suffered a loss 40-20 but comming out of the game with a good feeling of self satisfaction. The rams ended there season with a 9-11 record.

Repeat- ing this time after time encour- aged both the boy’s and the girl’s track teams throughout the year. Due to a young and small team, the girl’s surprised everyone by placing fourth and fifth in most of the meets. McKee had several hard drilling practices — but the two teams came out on top when it counted. The boy’s team, dominated mostly by seniors packed with ex- perience, made this year’s team very successful by placing third or better in every track meet. There were eight returning let- termen on the boy’s and girl’s squad. The girl’s team consisted of Lisa Majerus and Gina Bantugan, both letter returners. Other members were Mel Griffen, Denise Aleck, Tina Rausch, Chaney Jones, Kelly Higgins, Carolina Davis, Buffy Majerus, Dee Hall and Carm Lueck. The boy’s team was made up by Mike Sullivan, Albert Hofmeister, Mark Reno, Val Elliott, Bill Rob- erts, these were all returning let- termen. Other members of the team were Brad Herron, Rob Charland, who shined in almost every track meet, Michael Serna, Jim Baker, Art Hofmeister and Robert Potter. The mile relay team that trav- eled to Wichita for the state meet consisted of freshman Brad Her- ron, junior Rob Charland, and seniors Val Elliott and Mark Reno. Lisa Majerus ran the 220 and Chaney Jones qualified in the shot put and disc. Mr. McKee will be returning next year and hopefully with the success of this year’s track team.

Under guidance of Mr. Gary Bryant, who returned for his third year as head coach, the teams re- turned everyone from last year’s team except two. Coach Bryant made up for that by recruiting two new girl’s to the team. With the small number on the team they were unable to participate as a team so they competed as indivi- duals. Returning for his third year of competition was junior Kevin Bryant. Kevin was out to lower his school record and go to state. He lowered his previous record of 10:39. Kevin placed ninth in Re- gional to qualify for state. He placed 32nd in that meet. In the girl’s division Christine Michaelis and Tina Rausch dis- qualified for state. The girl’s did not rin in Regionals but had to run a qualifying time to compete in the state meet. The yearbook staff apologizes for the lack of pictures of the Cross Country team.

The yearbook staff of 1981-82 was very young and inexperienced. Sometimes it seemed as though the pages of our book would never get finished, but as you know we all pulled through. We ran across many problems but there was always a solution to be found. There are many people we the staff would like to express out thanks to: The Daily Union, Mark Reno, Roys Photography and especially Kelly Wright. Without the added help of these people a yearbook may not have been possible. I would personally like to thank the staff for some good times and a lot of headaches. They made my senior year a memorable one. I also wish to express my thanks to Mr. Cale for his cooperation and patience. There were many times when we were in disagreement but we found ways to work together and compromise our ideas. Being editor of the yearbook staff my senior year has given me much needed experience for my future years. I would once again like to thank the staff for putting up with me and working with me.
