Robert Fira replied, When I won the Gold- en Wrench award in auto shop. Many students, such as Stacey Zimmerman, Mark Lauppe, and Dalyn Figgins, replied, Winning state football!

A Pooka? Seniors Bring Harvey To Life What is a Pooka? Those who attended the Senior play, Harvey” can tell you. It all started the night of tryouts. All of us were nervously standing around, biting our nails and lips, wiping sweaty palms waiting to try out for unfamiliar parts. The next morning we went straight to the Spanish room window to see who got what part. Then the real work started. Lines had to be memorized, deciphered. Words had to be put into action. Unfamiliar parts became household conversations. All of us searched our homes, grandparents' attics, and garages for everything from chairs, to telephones to real fireplaces. The entire cast, prompters, and stage crew were beginning to wonder the night of dress rehearsal if he were ever going to get it together. But, as the curtain opened, we got to our places, and we knew there was no turning back. The play went smoothly without too many hang-ups.The hang-ups that did occur added to the fun and created memories we would never for- get. So. what is a Pooka?? El wood P. Dowd can tell you A Pooka is Harvey and Harvey is a rabbit. Six feet tall, or is it six and a half? Heaven knows I ought to know, he's been around the house long enough. He was also Elwood P. Dowd's best friend, to the chagrin of Elwood's sister, Veta Simmons and niece, Myrtle Mae Simmons. Veta's efforts to com- mit Elwood to an asylum turn on her and she is committed instead. It's mass confu- sion when at last a drug is prepared to give Elwood to rid him of Harvey, but cab driver E.J. Logan convinces Veta that Elwood shouldn't receive the drug.

After a 15-year hiatus, Martha and Luigi (Tammy Anderson and Dirk Cockrum) dra- matically embrace. On April 14. the junior class presented their rendition of Donald Payton's Rest As- sured.'' A farce in 3 acts, Rest Assured depicts the life (and bogus death) of one Phillip Ulysses Morlock (Chris Cockreham) and the many problems he faces. His busi- ness is failing, and he believes that his law- yer (Chris Lewis) and secretary (Kristen Hoopingarner) are out to destroy him. His youngest daughter, Jessica (Christine Troup) dreams of becoming a female wres- tler. Against his better judgement, his oldest daughter, Mary (Lori Tilley) wants to marry a respectable, but poor young man named Joe Lanconi (Stacy Winger). Vowing to post- pone the wedding as long as he is alive, Morlock confronts Joe's father. Luigi Lan- coni (Dirk Cockrum). Finally his beloved wife, Hazel (Amber Snowbarger), is leaving him because of his lack of romanticism. All this and his PAINS!!! Oh, my pains! Mor- lock moans, popping another sleeping pill. As he lies down in agony, transcending re- ality, he begins hallucinating. Almost half of the play transpires during Morlock's dream. Luigi has died and has returned to haunt poor Mr. Morlock into agreeing to the marriage. Morlock's worried family calls the family doctor (Mike Claas- sen) who is more interested in Morlock's wife than Morlock himself. In a mad scram- ble to get some sleep, Mr. Morlock ODs on sleeping pills. Upon his death, Mary plans to get married. Life seems to go on as usual, and Lucifer (Ed Hurd) has come to round Phillip Morlock up. Seriously reviewing his life, Morlock realizes what he has done and wishes for another chance. Wake up!, Mr. Morlock, Wake up! Mildred, the maid (Sarah Hume), orders. When Morlock dis- covers that he is alive, he repents for putting his business first and depriving his family of his love.

When comparing her Catholic school in San Sebastian to SC, Ma- ria discovered many differences. Accus- tomed to classes of 30-40, Maria found her- self in classes consisting of only 10-15 here at SC. Also, SC had a set class schedule which never varied. Maria had classes at different hours on different days of the week. In her school, books were used more to learn from than teachers, and quizes and exams were a rare thing. Life in general was definitely a turn-around when Maria took up residence in Stanton Co. with Dr. Roger, Natalie, and Ginger Troup. Accustomed to always going out in the evening with friends in Spain to con- certs, the beach, or downtown San Sebas- tian, she quickly adapted to the routine of attending sporting events, occasionally go- ing out with friends, or watching T.V. at her hosts' home. Another surprise for Maria was seeing fifteen-year-olds driving. In Spain, one isn't eligible to drive until he's eighteen. Maria said that she really liked Stanton County and thought the people here were very nice. She made many friends and memories. — Copy by Vanessa Brown Quiz Bowl Team Relies On Vets The SCHS Quiz Bowl Team relied on the answers of veterans Mike Claassen and Chris Cockreham to hold its own against the superior intellect of others. Reduced to applying the theory of relativity and Pytha- goras' theorem, they bluffed their way through biblical, musical, and literary ques- tions. The quiz bowl competitors didn't bring home any trophies, but SCHS fared well against the smaller schools and kept pace with larger ones. The team was spon- sored by Miss Lanning and Mr. Smith. The senior members included Tammy Rector, Lori Mitchell, Lyle Hoopingarner, and Shei- la Schmitt. Junior members were, Mike Claassen and Chris Cockreham. Sopho- mores were Jamey Jones and Monte Yin- gling. The Quiz Bowls were held at Scott City, Leoti, and Dodge City.

Jazz Copy and layout by Vanessa Brown. Normally, finding a theme is the most difficult obstacle the yearbook staff must overcome. Developing this theme was this staff's most difficult problem, but not its only one. Editor Lyle Hoopin- garner and Vanessa Brown were the only staff members with any experience. Ms. Davis, the sponsor, was hospitalized during one of the deadlines, and staff members were forced to carry on alone. Special recognition goes to Lyle Hoopin- garner for his cover and end sheet de- signs; Vanessa Brown and Lyle Hoopin- garner, for title and final page designs, copy, and photography.

Students Recognized For Achievements Hard Work Pays Off In a ritual candle-lighting ceremony on May 2, seven new members of the National Hon- or Society were officially inducted. The cere- mony followed a breakfast for the members and their families. During the ceremony, Sheila Schmitt and Tammy Rector provided music, and Dr. Roger Troup gave a short talk. The six continuing members had been honored during the year, according to spon- sor Jack LaFay, at a home football game where profiles of each of the students were distributed to fans as they arrived at the game. These six members also provided a tutoring service for other high school stu- dents during activity period, the first time the organization has performed service pro- jects. Kraig Dexter's art students entered an array of projects at two art contests. At the League contest in Garden City, Lyle Hoopingarner and Julie Jones placed second and third in mixed media; Kim Darrough and Jamey Jones placed second and third in drawing; and Olga Blanca took a second in acrylics. Three students came away from the Hays contest with awards; Lyle Hoopingarner re- ceived two certificates recognizing outstand- ing work and Jamey Jones and Olga Blanca each received one certificate. The prestigious woods and metals awards, given during the annual industrial arts show, were presented to Dalyn Figgins for his cedar chest and to Chris Lewis for his pick-up push bar. Judges also awarded Rick Swick s entertainment center an Outstand- ing Project ' ribbon, and gave similar recog- nition to Chris Lewis' tool box. At the Gar- den City Industrial Arts Show, Stephen Shepard won four gold ribbons for his draft- ing projects, and Brent Baird and Terry Robertson won gold ribbons for their met- als projects.

MAROONED In The Classroom? How does a teacher motivate students to pursue a quest for knowledge? Since the routine of classroom work causes students to become jaded and subjects stale, teachers constantly search for unique activities to in- volve their students. The yearbook staff em- barked on a quest to discover invigorating classroom projects to demonstrate that stu- dents at SC are not marooned in dull, lifeless classrooms. Here are a few golden'' exam- ples of what we found: This isn't a golf hall, this is a snake! yelled Michael Lawrence as he zipped past a shiny slithering object and did a double-take. Mi- chael and fellow cross country runners Jes- sie Ybarra, Shane Bonham, and John Clod- felter captured the snake and took it to the science room where Coach Morris helped the boys develop a living environment for the snake. They provided it with a natural habitat of sand, rock, and soil, but they had difficulty finding a suitable diet for the snake. As the year progressed, however, the kids discovered that the snake would devour live mice, steak, and an exotic delicacy — pig hearts left from biology disections. Coach Morris taught biology, anatomy, health, boys physical education, and physical sci- ence. He coached basketball, track, and cross country and assisted with football. He was also senior class sponsor. Kerrin Smith, an avid biologist, introduced his biology classes to the inside world of several diverse creatures. Crayfish, worms, grasshoppers, clams, and fish were disected by ambivalent students making the obliga- tory Ughs and Yucks SCHS staved off the fear of computer illiter- acy by hiring Mr. Eskew as a part time com- puter teacher. A former music teacher, Mr. Eskew went back to school in November of '85 and will have a masters degree in com- puters and education by this November. Joining Mrs. Pickerign, Mrs. Parks, and Mr. Williams in the computer room, Mr. Eskew added a different flavor, as well as a differ- ent attitude to the concept of computer teaching. To satisfy the apprehension that we re on the brink of a computer dominated age and that ignorance in the field could leave a person in the dark , Mr. Eskew has employed the attitude that students should learn how to run the programs instead of programming itself. Believing that although these classes will probably produce some programmers, Mr. Eskew has attempted to educate the rest to keep them on top of the computer world. Jerry Eskew taught Busi- ness Applications and Logo programming this year and hopes to expand his classes to Pascal. Djzzling students with another project was Mr. Sadler who integrated Computer Aided Design (CAD) into his drafting program. The computer allowed drafting students to toy with different dimensions and gave them the opportunity to test their designs. Troy Sadler taught metals and Woods I and was freshman class sponsor. A favorite hang-out for some male teachers was the boiler room, where several could usually be found as early as 7:45 A.M. On this April morning, the group included Ker- rin Smith (physical science, microbiology, biology, chemistry; junior class sponsor). Jack LaFay (counselor; National Honor So- ciety sponsor). Chuck Rutledge (Algebra I and consumer math; assistant football coach), Kraig Dexter (Art 1 and II; junior class and Pep Club sponsor). Art Carruth (Western civilization. American history, ge- ography, psychology, sociology; football coach, assistant basketball and track coach.) 47 Teachers Guide Students On Unique Quests Mrs. Shepard initiated the use of unique projects to add spice to othewise routine English classes, tapping her students cre- ativity through various activities. Expanding on the themes in MacBeth and Romeo and Juliet, English students drama- tized scenes from the play and made culi- nary delights, models of castles and stages, film strips, and newspapers pertinent to Shakespeare's time. Of these, a well-repre- sented model of the Globe Theater by Jorge Sandoval and a stalwart castle from the imagination of Candi Figgins illustrate the ambitiousness of the projects. Another haven for teachers was the faculty lounge with plenty of coffee, tea, comfort- able furniture, and easy access to the work- room, with no smoking allowed. While all teachers frequently visit the lounge, at least to pick up their mail, women teachers were more likely to be found there. This group included Ann Davis (government, history and fiction, current events; yearbook and Pep Club sponsor), Faydean Fiss (Spanish I and II, assistant librarian; Spanish Club and senior play sponsor), Julia Blair (learning disabilities; Stuco sponsor), Deyonee Pick- erign (Typing I and II, Accounting I and II, shorthand, business computers, office prac- tice; cheerleading sponsor), Damaris Claas- sen (English II and IV. assistant librarian; senior play and junior class sponsor), Duane Williams (computers, vocal and band; music sponsor), Marilyn Ruth (family living, Home Economics I and II; sophomore class and Y-Teens sponsor). 46 Enhancing Mrs. Ruth's unit on child care were two lively week-old babies. The special visitors were used to teach home ec and fam- ily living classes how to care for infants. Registered nurse Violet Troup demonstrat- ed how to bathe infants and also told stu- dents not to over dress a baby when it's hot or underdress it when it's cold; never to feed a baby cow's milk because it makes him or her hemorage inside, and never to feed a baby chocolate, wheat products, or citrus such as oranges or pineapples. Finally, the classes learned the signs of illness in a baby, such as crying, throwing up, diarrhea and fever. Students responded warmly to the ba- bies and were happy to have the chance to observe a real child. Mr. Williams' band journeyed to Kansas City's World of Fun to give a concert perfor- mance for ratings and critiques. Exploring the park was, of course, only a secondary consideration. To the befuddlement of her students, Fay- dean Fiss conducted her Spanish classes without speaking any English at the start of the year. Cultural shock afflicted students immediately. Later, students constructed pi- natas and created a newspaper complete with fashion layouts, advertisements, and a 'Dear Rosa column - all in Spanish, of course. Students employed legislative tactics to try to pass or defeat a bottle bill during their year-long exposure to Ann Davis' govern- ment class. Other active-learning exper- iences included a mock trial and a trip to the state capital and penitentiary. Students' dai- ly new-stories increased personal awareness of world affairs to the point where Linda Evans and Joan Collins were eclipsed by Colonel Khadafy and Imelda Marcos in stu- dent conversations. Seniors embarked on a quest for poetic knowledge by writing sonnets in Dee Claas- sen's senior English class. This was a project that was relatively new and had not been done for several years. The class also wrote research papers about current topics, a new approach to researching papers, since topics have previously focused on well-known writers. The lunchroom was another predictable place for teachers to congregate. These four gulped down a delicious meal in the twenty- five minutes allotted for lunch time. They were: Deb Lanning (trigonometry, math analysis. Algebra II, geometry, business math; assistant volleyball coach), Charlene Walker (learning disabilities aide; assistant Y-Teens sponsor), Deniese Barber (health and girls physical education; volleyball coach, assistant basketball coach), Gordon Brey (media specialist). — Copy and layouts by Mike Claassen, Kris Hoopingarner, and LaDonna Sheppard. 49 Seniors experience ambiv- alent emotions as Mark Lauppe and Kellie Shore (below) demonstrate. Congressman Pat Roberts told seniors to expect the unexpected in an engaging and entertaining speech Class Of 1986 Their graduation ceremony marked for many of them the end of twelve years of camaraderie, poignantly expressed in Lori Mitchell's solo. 'Friends. But how had they begun? They awoke in the years 1967-68, to world- wide confusion in university life created by student unrest. Richard M. Nixon, promis- ing to end the Vietnam War, was elected the 37th President of the United States by the narrowest margin since 1912. St. Louis won the World Series while Billie Jean King and the Green Bay Packers proved invincible by dominating their respective sports. Mickey Mantle celebrated his 500th career home run as Mickey Mouse celebrated his 40th birth- day. For many, the Camelot era ended with Jackie Kennedy's marriage to Aristotle Onassis. In the music world, Aretha Franklin, Jimi Hen- drix, and Janis Joplin competed for popular- ity as Simon and Garfunkel harmonized on Mrs. Robinson. Only one year before the Manson Family's brutal murders were to oc- cur, Americans grieved for those who had gone with the wind — Vivien Leigh, John Steinbeck, Helen Keller, Martin Luther King, Jr., Robert F. Kennedy. Through these diverse events, the Class of 1986 was born. — Lyle Hoopingarner 50 51 ■v ✓o w r Marooned, on tfu sidelines Feeling left out Surrounded Ijy loneliness Awaiting the time when Injurfes heal.

In a rousing finale to a superb season, the boys cross country team missed getting the state championship by one point, edged out by Berean Academy's 60 points to SC's 61. The girls cross country team continued SC's winning tradition by placing a respectable third with 69 points behind Syracuse with 54 points and Atwood with 49 points. Three Stanton County teammates were hon- ored as All-State runners: Debbie Terrill, who placed second (13:06); Jessie Ybarra, third place (10:29); and Kelli Shore, third place (13:19). Both teams of runners trained hard for the state meet, running four miles in the morn- ings and an optional two to four miles in the afternoons.

Supercharged by a 7-2 regular season record, the Trojans captured the District 16 cham- pionship and Hi-Plains League runner-up. Qualifying for the playoffs, the Trojans met league rival Meade for the Bi-District cham- pionship. After a 42-14 loss to Meade during the regular season, the Trojans playoff bid was expected to be short. But when Meade came to town this time, it was a different story. Armed with a rejuvenated spirit and a tenacious defense, the Trojans pulled off the highlight of their season, a 15-0 shutout that advanced them to regionals. There their sea- son came to an abrupt halt with a 38-12 defeat by the soon-to-be state champion, Victoria. The Trojans also fared well individually. Dru Davidson was recognized as The Hutchinson News' All-State most valuable defensive player. He was named to the of- fensive and defensive first team of South- west Kansas by The Garden City Telegram as well. Scott Whaley and Robert Dorrell were also part of the All-Southwest Kansas team, receiving first team defense and hon- orable mention defense, respectively.

New faces and different styles made for a unique SC cheering squad. These girls combined their skills and talents to make 1985-6o an exciting year. When Valentine's Day approached, the cheerleaders sold balloons with messages inside and delivered them. Surprise showed on people's faces as balloons poured out of lockers. Over 200 balloons containing 200 messages were delivered. In addition, the cheerleaders baked many. MANY dozens of cookies for members of the football, volleyball, and cross-country teams. The girls also peeled, sliced, and bagged oranges and apples. They then delivered them to hot and sweaty football players after practice. These two tasks brought many Thank you's from the athletes. Teaching the five new cheerleaders old chants and cheers was a tradition carried on by the four returning girls. By the time football and volleyball season began, the squad had mastered cheers, mounts, and short dance routines. The girls spent many hours designing and displaying posters to ignite SC spirit. The cheerleaders were the most active members of Pep Club. They helped to plan Parent's Night, honoring parents of senior athletes, and carried out the preparations for Winter Festival. Pep Club members included, back row: Susan Ashida, Lisa Dorrell, Amber Snowbarger, Lori Carrithers, Becky Bunting, Toby Huffman, Darrin Surls, Mike Headley, Monte Yingling, John Clodfelter, Steve Shepard, Mark Twilleger, Jason Pope.

Although they had a 5-15 record, the boys skills and attitudes im- proved throughout the season. In over half the games, the team outscored their oppo- nents during the first half, but had difficul- ty hanging on through the fourth quarter. Small victories included the Trojans' upset of Hi-Plains League finalist Sublette and the Trojans' win over the Eagles at the Hugoton tournament early in the season. Individuals who excelled were Scott Whaley and Dru Davidson. Both received All-State honorable mention, and both made the Carden City Telegram's All-Area team.

In Meters, 1600 Of Them Record-Setting Relay Anchors Trojan's Championship 2A Team A state record in the 1600 meter relay and a state championship crowned the Trojan boys' sweep of track titles in the 80 season. Even more thrilling than the third state title in four years (the team placed second in '84) to Coach Ark Morris was the 3:22.2 state record set by Monte Yingling, Ed Hurd, Robert Dorrell. and anchor Scott Whaley in the 1600 meter relay. This record is the most important accomplishment our school has had in athletics,'' said Morris. A school our size rarely has four people who can run the quarter in an average time of 50.5 sec- onds. Robert Dorrell and Scott Whaley both ran their quarters in under 50 seconds. The new record, 4.7 seconds faster than Cla- flin's old record, vindicated Coach Morris' emphasis on the quarter-mile as the key to all track events. It also confirmed his belief that athletes can't be taught to run faster, but they can be taught to maintain their fastest speed for a longer time. The relay team actually beat Claflin's 3:26.9 record in the qualifying run and then beat their own record in the finals. Another relay team also raked in some gold at the state meet with a first place finish. Monte Yingling, Mike Adams, Ed Hurd, and Jesse Ybarra ran the 3200m relay in 8:13.4, setting a new school record. The team won by 12 seconds. Three individuals took second place in their events: Dru Davidson, shot put, 52'5 ; Scott Whaley, 400m, 49.9 and long jump, 22TV4 ; Robert Dorrell, 200m. 22.4. Other contribu- tors to SC's point total were Robert Dorrell, 100m, 11.4, fourth; Monte Yingling, 800m, 2:01.4, fifth; and Jesse Ybarra, loOOm. 4:30.1, sixth. Stanton County's 59 total points edged out Greensburg (54) and Dighton (49), a less de- cisive team win than at regionals where SC had 133 points to Greensburg's 91 and Dighton s 61. Coach Morris said that he sac- rificed some points at the state meet to gam- ble on setting a new state record in the 1600 meters, a gamble that paid off. Although the girls did not place as a team, Debbie Terrill placed fifth in the 1600m, 5:31, and the loOOm relay team of Sheila Schmitt, Shelli Goortzen, Susan Tilley, and Lori Tilley placed fifth with 4:11.7.

Under Dr. Pickerign's super- vision, the weight room has brought in- tense dedication from the few student athletes who use it. Using a diverse com- bination of collegiate programs, these athletes develop quickness and endur- ance so they will be more competitive in the sporting events they will participate in next year. The weight room has also been utilized by community members caught up in the fitness trend. Above, Amber Snowbarger surrounds herself with weight room regulars Stacey Winger, Mike Claassen, Freddie Carrillo, and Chris Lewis. Education has played an instrumental role in the life and success of Dr. Roger Pickerign, SCHS' new princi- pal. Born in Menomoine, Wisconsin, Dr. Pickerign graduated with the high school class of o5. He ob- tained an undergraduate degree in history and has masters degrees in psychology and education. He earned his doctorate in educational administration. During his years in school Dr. Pickerign also taugh school. After nine years at several secondary schools Wisconsin, Dr. Pickerign became part of the staff i Dodge City Community College. There he tau; western civilization and history and was division ch of the social studies, business, and business techn ogy departments. When he wasn't teaching. Dr. Pickerign was part of Wisconsin's State Board of Education where he was in charge of developing curriculum for social sciences in secondary schools. He was also state chairman for the Wisconsin Council for Exceptional Children. Extracurricularly, Dr. Pickerign has pursued the sport of wrestling as participant and coach. He was runner-up in the Olympics and participated in the Pan-Am games. He has coached wrestling at the col- lege and high school level. Upgrading the curriculum is one of the improvements Dr. Pickerign is attempting during his first year at Stanton County High School. He believes that student and faculty input should be encouraged. Dr. Pickerign, who will become USD 452's superintendant, wants to review the K-12 curriculum to create an intergrated program allowing a smooth transition from one grade to the next. Dr. Pickerign's goal is for students to leave SCHS feeling good about the system as well as them- selves. — Copy and layo by Mike Claassen. Since the beginning of November, all eyes have been on the construction of a 250,000 gallon water tower. While dare- devil construction workers defied the law of gravity, a mass of miscellaneous metal was majestically made into a monumental marvel.

Board Approves Water Tower Site Three veteran Board members, Tom Barber, Marty Floyd, and Bill Seyb, were joined in July by four new members, Mary Davidson, Chesna Hume, Jo Scott, and Gary Adams (president).
