The Class Of Eighty-Five 2 Shelley Arnold Ashley Cockrum Rex Julian J. R. Edwards Carlos Montoya Sandra Chaffin Kevin Eckas As seniors began their last year in high school, the many important decisions they had to make forced them to think about their futures. A yearbook survey of the class of '85 revealed that 31 of the 39 seniors intended to continue their education after graduation. Fourteen planned to attend a four-year college, nine will enter a two-year college, and eight will enroll in a vo-tech school. Students' college preferences revealed a western Kansas bias. Dodge City Community College attracted the most stu- dents (six), and Hays attracted five. Five seniors intended to go to an out-of-state school. Eight students planned to work full time. The occupation attracting the most stu- dents was auto mechanics, mentioned by six people. Thir- ty of the 39 planned to leave Johnson, and five intended to leave Kansas for Oklahoma, Texas, or Colorado. In ten years the greatest number of students saw themselves in a rural setting. Seven believed they would be married within two years. — Copy by Terresa Johnson, portraits and photos by Michael Guido.

Stuco; and Lance Hoopingarner, sergeant-at-arms. Senior Class Officers 9 12 Expressing It SC Style Although they must endure the protests of parents, the students of SCHS are constantly inventing new ways of self-expression. Whether they wear message t- shirts, combat fatigues, sport strange license plates or earrings, listen to kinky music or create un- usual art objects. Trojans are sure to get their points across. Message t-shirts, which became popular in the mid-1960's. show the wearer's point of view on everything from music to politics. Such t-shirts are not only fun to wear but also solve the problem of what to wear five minutes be- fore class starts. Here. Randall Lauppe displays his hunting obses- sion as well as a sense of humor. In contrast to the contemporary forms of self- expression. Kevin Eckas and Pete Montoya chose a more traditional form — art — when they collaborated to create a ceramic Trojan. The Trojan will be glazed with the help of Mr. Dexter and clothed with the help of Miss Noble. It will then be shown at area art shows and then donated to the school. Below. Pete completes some last minute detail work on the Trojan before Kevin takes it to the kiln to be fired.

Konnichiwa, Kansas Kazuko Akiyama. a foreign exchange stu- dent from “the land of the Rising Sun. recently came to America for a ten- month stay with the Robert Figgins family after a 19-hour journey from her home in Mito City. Japan. After arriving in Johnson. Kazuko was faced with an incredible challenge — American school. Enrolled in such difficult courses as college prep English, trigonom- etry and computer. Kazuko expected many hours of homework. But she did not anticipate the many changes from her Japanese school. Instead of bowing to teachers and wearing uniforms. Kazuko learned it is perfectly acceptable to greet teachers with a friendly “Hi and wear jeans and t-shirts to school. Kazuko also found that wearing make-up and getting permanents, strickly forbidden in Japanese schools, are common place in License plates sporting everything from names to invitations to observe a car's incredible speeds, such as Lori Mitchell's CMEFLY. were another popular form of expression. In the age of gender-benders such as Boy George and Annie Lennox, the difference between the sexes has become somewhat obscured to the consternation of the older generation. These trendy guys. Rick Stein. Jimmy Harrell. Clinton Pope, and Coy Martin say they wear earrings because they want to be different from the average male and attract attention from the op- posite sex. Music ranging from the glitter of Cyndi Lauper to the snarl of Billie Idol was another way of making oneself understood. Showing their musical preferences are Ginger Troup. Tammy Rector. Lyn Kendrick. Diane Ni- cholas. Jamie Jones, and Tammy Brown KANSAS $1 000(91 ST AUG America. Kazuko came to prefer the standardized American schedule to the rotating Japanese schedule, in which chemistry may be sixth hour Monday and second hour Tuesday. Although she enjoyed school. Kazuko relished the chance to observe Ameri- can culture first hand. She discovered that Americans are much more re- laxed and informal in their manners than their Japanese counterparts. For entertainment. Kazuko spent many of her Friday nights attending sporting events with her new found friends and adding such American slang words as bak bak and garg to her vocabu- lary. We can only hope she enjoyed her stay in America as much as we en- joyed having her. Kazuko's pretty smile as well as her fun-loving personality combine to make her a true treasure of the Orient. — Copy by Cindy Bitner Just after me queen is announced.

Friday was the traditional Dress Up Day with everyone wearing Sun- day best As part of the introduction of candidates, attendants, and escorts at Friday's cere- mony. Karen Slaven read the response each was asked to give to the question What cartoon character do you resem- ble most?

TONY SCHWEIZER — Wy- lie Coyote because he never gets what he is after, and he is always getting hurt. MONTE YINGLING — Pepe Le Pew be- cause I love to chase girls!

For laughs, the comedy relied on ex- travagant mannerisms developed by several of the actors for their characters. The setting for the play was Camp Pochontas, a girls' camp across the lake from Camp John Smith, a rundown boys' camp that is declared unfit for habitation by the state inspector. Confusion began when the director of the girls' camp agreed to let the boys move in for a few days, or until they have time to clean their camp up. Other intruders arrived on the scene, and complications ensued. The play was produced by a cast and crew of 28 and was directed by Joe Zollinger. JIMMY. THE COOK at Camp Po- chontas (Jimmy Harrell), threatens anyone who complains. JOHN SMITH GETS its walking pa- pers! announces Eve (Pam Heb- berd). THE REPORT ALLOWING Camp John Smith to open is read with amazement by Mr. Twilliter (Kyle Grover). THE CAST AND stage crew consisted of, FRONT ROW: Tony Crow, director Joe Zol- linger.

WALLACE (TONY Schweizer) explains to Miss Douglass why the cafeteria food is soooo greasy Despite a terrible dress rehearsal. Glenda Shepard was the proud director of the hysterical junior play. Hey Teach. The play, presented on March 22, 1985. re- volved around the problems of a first year journalism teacher. Audrey Douglas (Shei- la Schmitt), when she replaces everyone's favorite pushover teacher. Miss Johnson (Tammy Rector). Although Miss Douglas receives some great advice from her friend Susan Langden (Kim Darrough). her problems never seem to end. In addition to the irritating antics of the class jock, Billie Rice (Cindy Bitner), Miss Douglas also faces a controversy after she allows the printing of an unfavorable cafeteria cri- tique in the school paper. Victory for the anti-cafeteria set, led by Jazz Martin (Lyle Hoopingarner) and Krystle Walters (Lori Mitchell), comes when the article is print- ed by the county newspaper In appreciation for the many hours spent in direction, the cast members presented Mrs. Shepard with a gift certificate at Kep's. Other cast members included Lor- ane Trujillo. Audrey Shironaka. Peggy Ev- erett. Mike Headley. Keri Roach. Becky Bunting. Kristina Martin. Kelli Shore, Stacey Zimmerman. Scott Whaley, and Tony Schweizer. Stage crew included Donnie Morgan, Robert Fira.

Seniors Tour Topeka Seventeen government students toured the State Capitol, the Judicial Center, the KBI, and the Kansas State Penitentiary at Lansing March 10-12. Accompanied by government teacher Ann Davis and senior class sponsor Ark Morris, the students got to see the Kansas House of Repre- sentatives in action, sat in the Supreme Court Justices' chairs, and visited with Senator Leroy Hayden and Representative Gene Shore. How- ever. the tour of the state penitentiary made the greatest impression on the students. TONYA NEIL AN AND Shelly Arnold view proceed- ings in the House of Representatives from the gallery. Students expressed astonishment at the confusion on the floor. One guy was even reading the comics.'' commented Jim Sipes. Class Develops Pros Troy Sadler's new construction class offered three well-designed and solid yard buildings to the community, and at $500 each, folks snapped them up and demanded six more. Stu- dents. using blueprints adapted by Troy, figured costs and kept wastes down to two 2x4s (Tony Crow and Kyle Grover figured costs to the pen- ny). The one-hour class met first hour, so students had to brave many cold mornings to complete the projects. The class was designed to give students experience in woodworking other than cabinet making. 30 Mock Trials Challenge Student Attorneys Beyond a reasonable doubt ... These words became familiar to government students as they observed State vs. Larry Hackney in Stanton County District Court. February 27-March 4. Later as stu- dents prepared and presented their mock trials in the same courtroom, that phrase came back to haunt them. For the last three years, seniors have held mock trials at the courthouse during their study of the criminal justice system. District magistrate Vance Whittington and court clerk Bonnie Eckas critiqued the proceedings each day. This year, however, students got a first-hand look at court procedure prior to their mock trial by attending the Hackney murder trial.

Legs — ZZ Top 4 We're Not Gonna Take It — Twisted Sister 5. Jump Vdn Halen Asked to list 3 famous people they admired and 3 famous people they despised, some freshmen were inspired by the All-American wholesome- ness of John Wayne while others preferred leath- er-and-stud clod acid rocker. Vince Neil On the other hand, famed flab fighter Richard Simmons and the sequined one. Michael Jackson, were tops on the most despised list.

In order to explore these personal- ities the yearbook staff asked the following questions: WHO WERE YOU IN YOUR PAST LIFE? WHY? An- swers varied from Lori Mitchell's claim to have been Sam Adams because he was radical to Cindy Bitner's claim to have been General George Patton. Nicknames, although usually not chosen by the bearer, also convey a sense of uniqueness Examples of this are Tammy Rector's alias Spam and Lyle Hoopingarner. A.K.A. Hopinger. The juniors' experience in U.S. histo- ry qualified them to answer the question. “LIST THREE WORLD EVENTS YOU WOULD MOST LIKE TO HAVE SEEN OR PARTICIPATED IN.

The results indicated different, although predictable, perspec- tives. While students overwhelmingly predicted that a nuclear war would occur in the next ten years, only three faculty members mentioned nuclear weapons in their predictions. Some faculty predic- tions for the next ten years were: 1. Terrorist use of nuclear weapons. 2. The demise of OPEC. 3. Contin- ued U.S. involvement in Central America and other world hot spots. 4. A woman will become Presi- dent or Vice President. 5. South Africa's apartheid government will lose control. 6. A cure for cancer will be found. While students most admired entertainment figures, political leaders such as Lincoln, Truman. FDR and Eleanor. Susan B. Anthony, Golda Meir and Marga- ret Thatcher were most frequently named on the teachers' MOST ADMIRED LIST. Teachers showed some admiration for those who marched to the beat of a different drummer as well — Jesus. Da Vinci. Sally Ride, Thoreau. Gandhi. Einstein, and Bach. A few entertainment or sports figures ap- peared — Elvis Presley. Garfield. Lash Larue, and Bear Bryant. On the other hand. Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler, Joe McCarthy. Khomeini. Jerry Falwell. and Richard Nixon topped their MOST HATED LIST. Individually, the faculty also provided some interest- ing answers when asked. Who would you like to have been in your past life and why? MRS. CLAASSEN: QUEEN ELIZABETH I She proved that being a good sovereign depends less on sex than on ability. MR. SMITH: BEN FRANKLIN He was a brilliant man who was interested in and an expert in many fields. MR MORRIS: ORVILLE WRIGHT It would be exciting to achieve something that oth- er people have tried but failed to do. MISS LITTLEFIELD: LAURA INGALLS WILDER She lived during the travels west. Her life was full of adventure. MRS. WALKER: QUEEN ELIZABETH II She showed the world how to be elegant and infor- mal. MRS. RUTH: AMELIA EARHART She was the first woman to cross the Atlantic Ocean by air MRS. FISS Because I have been uncoordinated all my life. I'd like to have been a prima ballerina. MRS. SHEPARD: SACAJAWEA She had to be tough to do what she did and she led the men. MR. DEXTER: ERROL FLYNN His. younger years in New Zealand and as a charter boat captain would have been fun. MS. DAVIS: ELEANOR OF ACQUITAINE She had extraordinary flair, chutzpah, and style. —Copy and surveys by Cindy Bitner 40 Pictured on the opposite page: KERRIN SMITH, science whiz, taught phys- ical science, chemistry, micro-biology and physics.

VA I Mike Claassen Quiz Bowl Contestants Improvise When Faced With Tough Questions Itinerant Cricket Inspires Annual's Perspective Theme Would you believe that an itinerant cricket inspired the yearbook theme, Perspec- tives ? The school's abundance of crickets in September led the staff, during a brainstorm- ing session, to wonder how things at school appeared from a cricket's point of view, eventually leading to a more general point of view theme. Choosing a theme was the yearbook staff's major problem and involved many hours of brainstorming. The staff fleetingly considered ideas ranging from breakfast cereals and soap operas to whips and chains before de- ciding on Perspectives, a theme which could be developed in a unique way with the fish-eye lens. Five of the eight staff members were novices, but after an initial orientation, most members could develop and print pictures, draw up layouts, and write and fit copy. Above, from a cricket's perspective are yearbook staffers Terresa Johnson, Sandra Chaffin, Cindy Bitner. Tonya Neilan. Evelyn Wilson. Keri Ramsay, Lyle Hoopingarner, Ash- ley Cockrum. and Ann Davis, sponsor. The fish-eye lens, with a view of 180 degrees, creates some unusual distortions as shown by these photos of Evelyn Wilson, and Terresa Johnson. Lyle Hoopingarner. one of the staff photogra- phers, has to be careful to keep his toes out of the pictures when shooting with a fish-eye.

Everyone was pumped up for the game and ready to take revenge on the Broncs for their win over the Trojans in double-overtime last season. The snow flurries began to fall ear- ly in the evening and by game time the field was covered. Fans who braved the weather witnessed an exciting but disap- pointing game as the Trojans once again fell in double-overtime with a score of 12- 14. The Trojans ended the 1984 season with a record of 6 wins and 4 tosses. The team placed second in the Hi-Plains League, Di- vision N. They were also the District 14 champions, but tost 6-13 to Ashland in Bi- District play. “The 1984 Trojan football 55 team was a very dedicated group — a real pleasure for the coaches who worked with them. said Coach Carruth. Coach Carruth also said that the 1984 seniors provided the team with excellent leadership. During their four years, they were part of a football program that pro- duced a record of 37 wins and only 7 tosses, including the state championship season of 1983.

Coach Tuxhorn's predictions are credible In fact, there were only five upperclass- men on the team, which gave every- one else a chance to gain experience. It was a season of ups and downs for the ladies. They played exceptionally well at the SC tournament, according to Coach Tuxhorn.

The team's ups and downs made the games excit- ing and action-packed In most games they were much shorter than their oppo- nents. but the Trojans' quickness and su- perior jumping ability made up for their lack of height. At times the Trojans were hitting so well that they could best any team in Southwest Kansas. Coach Morris added. The ups and downs of the team were magnified at the end of the season when they upset the number one ranked Sharon Springs and later lost to a team they had outscored in two prior games, Holcomb. In the final round of the sub- state tournament Holcomb took advan- tage of the Trojans when they got into foul trouble, and the Longhorns won 56- Varsity and JV teams included.

Seven varsity and four junior varsity cheerleaders began the season with new cheers and chants they learned at a week- long DCA (Dynamic Cheerleader Asso- ciation) cheer camp on the Fort Hays campus. The cheers were introduced to the Pep Club at the football soap scrimmage. The cheerleaders tried to involve the student body in a variety of unusual activities during pep rallies. One of the most successful was the circle sit ' iBustrated in the photo of the Pep Club.

Administration Hughes Shares Perspectives On Education Glen Hughes, Stanton County High School's new principal, shared his per- spectives on education with the year- book staft. His comments follow: During the past several years, public education has been the topic of various reports indicating a serious need for re- form. The common concerns being ad- dressed are the destiny of public educa- tion. the outlook for our economy, and the operation of our democratic system. Radical changes in public education are being proposed with the result ’an educa- tion of equal quality as well as equal quantity for aN.' The consensus of these reports is that society is failing the American children through its educational practices. Our schools must strive to educate all children equally toward the goal of self-governing citizenship and an abundant human exis- tence. Learning never ends, it is a life long process. Education must continue beyond time spent in school. Schools need to im- part to every individual the means and the motivation for continuing to acquire knowledge throughout a lifetime. All children must be educated to be- come responsible citizens — to elect as well as be elected to public office, to be prepared in the abilities necessary to 0« tasks, and to be directed toward contin- ued intellectual growth throughout life. Schools must become a one-track system with the same goals for all children: the practice of a system with different objec- tives for different groups of children must Iris Lane, secretary for Mr. Clunn. provides visitors with a cheerful reception. After four years of service to SCHS as high school secretary, Alice Hambrick resigned in April to join her husband's business. be stopped. Curriculum needs to be reformed and concentrated on a general and liberal course of study. Concentration should be placed on the acquisition of a second lan- guage as well as proficiency in the prima- ry language — English. Students need to become skilled in the use of symbolic de- vices including calculators, computers, and scientific instruments. Learning must become skiH in performance, not just awareness of facts and formulas. Practice is essential for competence in thinking, communication, and the use of symbolic devices. Children need to understand the application of a skill through knowing the 'how' and the 'why' rather than just know- ing 'about the existence' of something. Dismissing the concerns about disparity and inefficiency in existing public school- ing could lead to political and economic suicide for our democratic civilization. In words of Thomas Jefferson, ‘If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, within a state of civilization, it expects something that never was and never will be!' The key to continuous success as a nation hinges on the equal training of children's minds with the abilities and skills necessary to think, to reason, and to produce as pro- ductive (members of society. Every administrator and teacher pres- ently involved in the education of the na- tion's children, along with all prospective educators, should probably set as their ul- timate goal through education an im- provement in the excellence of life for all.

It was by invitation only. Invitations were in great de- mand. The students worked on this play for 4-5 weeks. They be- gan with reading the story and breaking it down into scenes. According to Roseanna Wil- liams. the hearing impaired in- structor, the main reason this play was performed was to teach the kids about problem solving, values, speech, se- quencing, and self-confidence by performing in front of an au- dience. The kids used both spoken dialogue and signing, and provided most of the mate- rial props. Each student select- ed a role and developed traits for that character. In the sec- ond week of practice the end- ing to the story was changed. The kids didn't think it was right for Goldilocks to go into a fam- ily's home and eat their food, break their chairs, and sleep in their beds. So, they changed the ending to include the arrival of the police to arrest Goldi- locks. Goldilocks also came back to the bears' house with more food, a new chair, and a big apology. A video of the pro- duction has been made avail- able to interested groups. FAR LEFT. ROSEANNA Williams poses with her cast: Brent Omo, Bobbie Wilkerson. and Kacee Jones.
