Organizations 6 Sports 20 People 38 Academics 60 Activities ........ 78 Ads 96 Index 110 To guide you through the TROJAN ’80, our artist, Becky Puckett, has developed a little character we’ve named Tommy Trojan. Watch for him on each division page and throughout the sections. After all, hasn’t 1980, maybe more than any other year, been a time of hard work, of pulling together? Very few small schools have organi- zations and athletic teams as good as ours, or a faculty and administration as capable as the one at THS. What lies at the heart of our successful year? It has to be the friendship and caring attitude that surrounds us. This feeling has made us work harder and strive to meet our goals. TROJAN ’80 is a celebration of the accomplish- ments, struggles, tears, laughter, and friendship that made 1980 uniquely ours. As you read this collection of memories, know that it is for all of us, the people of THS — because we made it happen ... together. Susan Begesse, Copy Editor Lee Jordan, Layout Editor 'SO - We're Together If we could pick one word to tell you what this book is about, to really describe THS, it would have to be “together.” SO-Dawn Of A Decade The birth of the eighties brought diversity and excite- ment to the United States and forced the American people to meet new challenges and demands. Foreign relations were a dominant factor in the news from September, 1979, to May, 1980. During October of the school year, students heard a visiting pope preach a message of love to the United States. Ironically, a group of militant students seized the United States embassy in Tehran, Iran, only a few weeks later, taking fifty Americans hostage. At the close of the school term in May, the hostages were entering their sixth month of captivity, with rumors spreading that they may not be released until Novermber 1980. In April, President Jim- my Carter imposed numerous economic sanctions against Iran. On April 24, American helicopters landed in the middle of an Iranian desert en route to Tehran. Tragically, several helicopters crashed, killing eight Americans, and foiling any rescue plans. The Ayatollah Khomeini and President Bani-Sadr warned against military action. The Russian invasion of Afghanistan aroused much concern in the United States, among political leaders and sports enthusiasts alike. President Carter pressed for a boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics as a means of showing American disappr oval of the invasion. In an April decision, the United States Olympic Committee voted to support the boycott. Below: Kansas Governor John Carlin and THS government instruc- tor Bruce Reynolds share a handshake in the governor’s office. The Troy Lions Club sponsored its annual trip to Topeka for the govern- ment classes in February. Above: Senior Susan Begesse was selected second runner-up in the Northeast Kansas Junior Miss Pageant in Hiawatha, October 6. Susan also won the Scholastic Achievement Award and was one of five contestants chosen as talent finalists. Presidential elections will be held in Novem- ber, 1980, and candidates were campaigning for their party’s nomination. President Carter was challenged for the Demo- cratic nomination by Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy. Although Kennedy had a strong family name, experts predicted that Carter would represent his party in the November election. California Governor Jerry Brown also sought the nomination but withdrew from the race. The Republican field was led by Ronald Rea- gan, with contenders George Bush and John Anderson considered long shots. If a THS poll is any indication, Reagan will occupy the White House in November. Fifty per cent of the Tro- jans polled supported Reagan. Carter garnered only sixteen per cent of the votes, and Kennedy came in third with nine per cent. A presidential primary was held in Kansas for the first time. In keeping with Kansas Republi- can tradition, Reagan won the contest. Kansas Senator Robert Dole was an early contender, but withdrew before he could enter his home- state primary. Brings Changes In Fun, Fads, Fashion President Carter gave the teens of America something serious to think about when tense foreign relations prompted him to begin lobbying for the resumption of a peace-time draft. The question of drafting women was also raised. Although no decisions were made, an informal survey of eighty THS students and teachers revealed that Trojans had some very definite ideas on the subject. Sixty- five per cent of those surveyed were opposed to reinstatement of the draft. Trojans were also against drafting women. One student said, “If men are drafted, women should also be, but only in case of emergency should they be put in combat.” Left: Kansas was selected as the site for artist Peter Toth’s Kansas monument to native American Indian tribes. A special dedication was held in October. The sculpture is shown in its final stages of production. % Above: Laura Herpich, Laura Staudenmaier, and Cheryl Begesse model clothes which were popular with 1980 Trojans: painter's pants and blue jeans. Left: Mrs. Rockey’s children’s theater class presented “The Wizard of Oz to Troy Grade School children in February. The youngsters were allowed to get into the act. Skyrocketing inflation sent the price of a Big Mac to $1.15 and the cost of a gallon of gasoline well over $1.20, but that didn’t stop the teens of 1980 from dating, cruising, and buying records. Although THS students called inflation the number one problem the country is facing today, they managed to finance their enter- tainment with part-time jobs. The publication’s survey revealed nearly half the students were employed during the school year. Trojan movie-goers rated “Kramer vs. Kramer” as one of their favorite movies. The critics agreed, giving it an Academy Award for best picture. Steve Martin’s “The Jerk” was another smash at THS. “The Dukes of Hazzard,” “Benny Hill,” “Real People,” and “The Muppet Show” were popular television shows with the THS crowd. Whether on a car radio or an expensive stereo, music strongly influenced 1980 teens. Groups such as Pink Floyd, Blondie, and Styx dominated the charts. Dan Fogelberg, Barry Manilow, Dionne Warwick, and Kenny Rogers were single stars who made 1980 news. Labeled more conservative than their 1970 counterparts, 1980 high school students nonetheless showed a zest for fun in their “Together” is a word that fits the TROJAN '80 organization section better than any oth- er. Striving together toward a goal is what makes a group work. Whether the THS organization is composed of state-champion journalists, community- minded workers, honored athletes, or stu- dents of agriculture, we know that these next few pages will prove one thing — the close- ness and hard work were well worth-while. But an organization means more than prizes and honor. The friendship and moral charac- ter that a group builds go with the student throughout his life. And so do the memories that go into that building. Club Honors Dannevik The 1979-80 Troy Kayettes honored Mr. Nick Dannevik, counselor and teacher at THS, with a special assembly, May 9. Mr. Dannevik decided to leave THS to become an insurance salesman. He was presented the Kayette Service Award, along with a few other tokens. The group started a continuing project, the purchasing of a trophy case for the new gym. The candy bar sales and a blanket toss earned some money for the cause. The annual installation banquet was April 28. The theme was “The World Is Yours,” which was sung by the girls’ ensemble. Teacher appreciation, a slumber party, and a shopping trip to Kansas City were traditional projects in which the Kayettes engaged. A point system was used to measure the requirements of the various activities. The club received an award for the 1000 points earned during the school year.

Ten THS stu- dents qualified at regionals to compete at state. Mace Thornton and Joi Trant were unable to par- ticipate because they came down with the chicken- pox. Mrs. Martha Rockey stated, “I was really surprised we won the sweepstakes trophy, but I’m really proud of the team!” The class also complet- ed the TROJAN ’80 annual and distributed nine issues of the Trojan Trumpet. One of the issues was a tribute to the senior class. Guiding newspa- per production were Jim Dubach, editor-in-chief; Joe Franken, editorial page editor; Karen Winzer, feature page editor; Joe Boeh, sports editor, and Becky Puckett, art editor. Head photographer was Brenda Dannevik. Upper left: S. Begesse and L. Jordan talk with Mrs. Rockey.

Library aides do the “dirty work of the library. Above, front row: Linda Taylor and Mrs. Fetherolf. Row 2: Mary Boeh, Debbie Guy. Elizabeth Tucker, and Kevin Sutton. Row 3: Jerry Masters, Candy Huss. and Phil Buch. Library, Office, And Teachers' Aides: People Helping People, Together At THS The library underwent an extensive maintenance program this year. A room was set aside as strictly a reference room. The magazine collection, verti- cal file, and film strips were all sorted and weeded of any out-dated material. Over 4,000 obsolete cards were pulled from the card catalog. The changes made were most impressive and useful for the students. Library aides for the 1979-80 school year were Linda Taylor, Debbie Guy, Elizabeth Tucker, Candy Huss, and Mary Boeh. Some students who participated in the program for one semester were Don Stock, Phil Buch, Kevin Sutton, Jerry Mas- ters, and Darrell Furr. The duties of the library aides were to check in overdue books, put them back on the shelf, make out overdue slips, file cards, and keep the library in good order. There’s more to being a library aide than most people realize! 12 Mrs. Shirley Fetherolf, librarian, commented that her library aides were “a good group of kids to work with and deserve credit for the improve- ments made in the library this past year.” r Above: Deanna Hoverson is the office aide during the fourth-hour period. She answers the phone, takes messages, and does the many other tasks usually done by the secretaries, Mrs. Larzelere and Mrs. Clary. Office aides obtain a credit and experience from this job. The cadet teacher program went over excep- tionally well with seven seniors participating. These students went to the grade school for one hour each day to assist the teachers with the children by helping them read, running off pa- pers, and making bulletin boards. Cadet teachers for this year were Jim Dubach, Mace Thornton, Beth Marriott, Joi Trant, Brenda Dannevik, Sherri Sharp, and Joe Boeh. Deanna Hoverson acted as office aide during the lunch period. Becky Puckett was a teacher’s aide for Mrs. Rockey, Mr. Hockey, and Mrs. Israel. The teacher’s aide and cadet teachers receive one credit for their work and receive experience working with others. They liked being cadet teachers because they “get to drink pop in the teachers lounge,” “like playing four-square with the kids,” and “enjoy being with people.” Pictured above far left: Mace Thornton and Jim Dubach were cadet teachers during the fifth period for the second and third grades. Here they are running off papers for the next assignment. Above left: Cadet teacher Joi Trant is helping Doug Smith with his assignment. Doug is a member of Mrs. Schultz's fourth grade class. Six Named To Honor Society Membership National Honor Society is an organization designed to recog- nize the all-around superior students. This society is based on scholarship, leadership, ser- vice, and character. Members are narrowed to those students having a B (3.0) aver- age. Students chosen are then initiated at the awards assem- bly in the spring. The group journeyed to Kansas City for a day of sight-seeing which included Halls Crown Center in downtown Kansas City.

Club Changes Leaders Placing third in District Land Judging, October 13, and second in State Area Land Judging, October 26, were the highlights of the year for the THS members of Future Farmers of America. The departure of President Tina Robinson was an un- usual experience for the organization. Vice-president Don Neumann assumed the presidency, and his twin brother, Ron Neumann, became vice-president. The members elected a new treasurer, Steve Tharman. Glen Grable was secretary throughout the year. Hoyt (Royal Valley) was the setting for the District Banquet, April 16, where Carl Tharman was selected District FFA Treasurer. Another FFA member, Don Neumann, was named winner of the 1980 Dekalb Agri- cultural Accomplishment Award. State FFA Treasurer, Joe Neumann, was the guest speaker at the local banquet, March 31. This banquet is designed to honor the parents, install the new officers, and give out awards. A summary of the year is given to people, also. Left: R. Neumann. G. Grable, and D.

StuCo On The Move The 1979-1980 student council was under the lead- ership of President Jim Dubach, Vice-president Joe Boeh, and Secretary-treasurer Mace Thorn- ton. Troy Student Council, in cooperation with Abi- lene Student Council, sponsored an exchange pro- gram between the high schools. Beth Marriott, Darrell Furr, Brenda Meng, Tim Franken, and Linda Ashworth attended Abilene High School for one day while six of those students came to Troy. Other activities sponsored included Homecoming, Queen of Courts, and Spirit Week, which consist- ed of several special dress-up days and the Mr. Legs contest. THS exchange students strike a pose. D. Furr isn't pictured. Secretary-treasurer Mace Thornton, Vice-president Joe Boeh. and President Jim Dubach guided StuCo to a successful year filled with variety and new projects. 16 Fellowship Of Christian Athletes Inspired Fellowship of Christian Athletes, under the super- vision of Mr. Bill Foster, is an organization with the goal of making a challenge to youth — the challenge to accept Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord and to serve Him in their future vocations. Pictured at the left are those who reached for this goal, Jim Dubach, Chris Beaty, Joe Boeh, Tim Franken, Mace Thornton, Jeff Sandy, and Mr. Bill Foster.

The contest gained Trojans the honor of being Sheila Adkjng leadg in a rouaing yeu. District champions. ' Cheerleaders And Pep Club Liven Spirit The cheerleaders for the 1979-80 school year are pictured in special formation above. The girls who cheered on the Trojan athletes were Becky King, Kris Bletscher, Sheila Adkins, Beth Marriott (head), Debbie Masters, Teresa Blanton, Gina Hanlan, and Debbie Guy. The girls attended a five-day summer camp at Fort Hays State University, Hays, Kansas. They acquired many new cheers and ideas to bolster Trojan spirit. Mrs. Marla Olson, the cheerleaders’ sponsor, accompanied the girls on their trip to Hays. 18 Pep club sported a new look to bring in the decade. They wore white tops printed with the school name and Trojan emblem. Slacks were exchanged for comfortable blue jeans. Leading the pepsters were Sherri Sharp, president; Karen Winzer, vice- president; Joi Trant, secretary; and Michelle Fo- ley, treasurer. Fund-raising projects were numerous. The club sold Trojan T-shirts and jerseys. They also ped- dled matching hats and scarves decorated with the school name. Pep club decorated for Homecoming and Queen of Courts activities. The group had double sponsors. Mrs. Marla Olson led the group, assisted by Ms. Fran Rupp. Kris Rletscher and Becky King model the new Trojan hats while cheering. Sophomore Kim Jamvold was one of the Pep Club members who sold Trojan hats and scarves during the basketball games as a money-making project for the organization.

They experienced victories and setbacks, happiness and pain. However, the score and the first-place finish don’t reflect everything an athlete is, or everything one could be. What fan ever sees the football player suffering at night over a painful injury, the tears of sorrow over a game that “we almost had,” or a lone runner on a dusty country road in the dead of sum- mer. Being an athlete means more than being the one with the highest score. It means sacrifice, determination, working together, sweat, and guts. When everything’s over, an athlete can look back with a sense of pride. That’s a good feeling. Pictured above: Deb Masters rounds a curve at the K-36 League meet at Horton. At right: Becky King and Mendi Ashworth run in the Horton contest. CC Runs Trojan Harriers ran the two-mile cross country course at four area meets: Savior of the World, High- land, Centralia, and Horton. This year three girls joined the Trojan CC squad and ran in the K- 36 League meet at Horton. The boys’ team finished their cross country season with a fifth at the league meet.

Led by Coach Bruce Reynolds, they began weak, losing their first game against Wathena. Gaining more playing time and experience, the Junior Varsity Trojans came back to beat the Wildcats in their final game. TROY OPPONENT 8 Wathena 38 28 Horton 12 24 Wathena 18 23 Trojans Tie League; Are District Champs The Troy Trojans had a fine season as they defeated the Baileyville Falcons in the District Playoff game. This marked the first time Troy had ever won a game in State-Playoff competition. The Trojans also shared the League Championship with Highland, to whom they lost their only regular season game. After the Trojans blasted Baileyville, they then gained the home-field advantage against the Han- over Wildcats. Troy was knocked out of the playoffs by the Wildcats, who became state champs, yet had one of the best seasons in the history of the school. Troy had several players who received individual honors. Making the K-36 All-League Offensive Team were Joe Boeh, Lee Jordan, Brent Leger, and Marvin Ross. Those making honorable mention on offense were Jeff Sandy, Mace Thornton, and Mark Adkins. Making the Defensive Team were Joe Boeh, Brent Leger, Mace Thornton, and Joe Franken. The honor- able mention choices were Lee Jordan and Jay Jar- rett. The All-Area selections were Brent Leger, who made first team, and Marvin Ross and Joe Boeh, who both made the second team. Receiving honorable mention were Lee Jordan, Mark Adkins, and Greg Dannevik. Brent Leger made first-team All-State on defense, as well as honorable mention on offense. Joe Boeh made honorable mention on both offense and defense. In addition, Marvin Ross and Mace Thorn- ton were picked as honorable mention choices. 4M i Trojans accept the District trophy on the muddy B B field. Pictured at left is the 1979 football squad.

Their regular season record was 5 wins and 11 losses. They finished fifth in the league. The girls had a tough time in tournament play as they lost in the first round of the league tournament to Jackson Heights, and also to Valley Heights in the first round of the regional tournament. The seniors who were the leaders on the bakset- ball team were Debbie Guy, Beth Marriott, Sherri Sharp, and Brenda Dannevik. Although the squad did not have an outstanding record, they did have some individual honors. Sherri Sharp was named All-League, and Brenda Dannevik made honorable mention on that same team. This year the girls also received some new game uniforms to go with the new warm-ups they re- ceived two years ago.

The Trojans finished in third place in the K-36 League race, behind Jackson Heights and Elwood. The Trojans didn’t fare well in tournament play, as they were beaten in the first round of the K-36 League Tournament by the Horton Chargers, and in the first round of the Regional Tournament by the Centralia Panthers. This year’s squad was under the direction of Mr. Frank Davis and Mr. Kevin Kelley. Mr. Kelley also directed the B-team. Several Trojans received individual honors. Joe Boeh was named as unanimous choice on the K-36 All-League Squad for the second year in a row. Scott Davis was awarded honorable mention sta- tus on that same team. Front Row: T. Keller, R.

The boys’ team took third place in the K-36 League meet at Jackson Heights. No new school records were set; however, many participants were awarded medals. Several tracksters also ventured to the regional meet at Oskaloosa. 1980 TRACK SEASON’S BEST EFFORTS Shot put 47 334 M. Thornton Discus 125’3” M. Thornton Javelin IbSV J. Marriott High jump 6 234 J.

High team standings were hard to achieve; however, the girls did accumulate enough points to win one quadrangular, which was one of their goals this year. There were three seniors who led the team. They were Sherri Sharp, Candy Huss, and Debbie Guy. Other members on the team included Laura Herpich, the only junior; sophomores Teresa Blanton, Debbie Masters, and Geri Fenley; and freshmen Julie Blake, Brenda Boeh, Connie Johnson, and Mary Middleton. Head coach was Mr. Larry Sandy, assisted by Mr. Lyle Rockey Jr. Mother nature didn’t cooperate with the team the first portion of the season as unfavorable weather forced the girls to practice indoors. This induced weight-lifting for the girls, which was an unfamiliar sight around Troy High School. Three school records were broken at meets this year. Debbie Masters broke the high jump record with a 4T0” jump. Laura Herpich broke the record in the 880- and mile runs with times of 2:46.3 and 6:06.68. Right: Debbie Guy clears the hurdle with ease at Midway’s quad. Debbie Guy pushes herself over the hurdle in an effort to catch the Powhatlan hurdler who is a step ahead of her.

This was not the case in several games sponsored by the T-Club, as a lot of horseplay took place. One was the senior-faculty game, and the other pitted the All-American Redheads against the K-36 League coaches. The Redheads defeated the coaches, 71-68. The coaches from Troy who played in the game were Mr. Sandy, Mr. Rockey, Mr. Foster, and Mr. Kelley. The seniors won both games against the faculty. The senior girls slipped by the faculty, 39- 35, in the usual clowning way. The men took the game more seriously, and there was tough, aggressive play on both ends of the court. The senior boys rolled to a 56-47 win over the faculty, with the game more uneven at the end. The boys gather to fire themselves up Top: The women had a very strange player on their team; she resembled Mr. Stanley, for the faculty squad. The game was very aggressive, yet it was one of the cleanest Above: The senior girls anxiously await their opportunity to see action on the court, in senior-faculty history. 34 The coaches were tough, but the Redheads were not to be denied. Fans Aid Teams The fans are the people who make a team great; thus the Trojan fans must be congratulated on a job well done. It was they who saw the football team on their opening-night win over Sabetha, as well as their intense, heart-breaking loss to the Highland Bluestreaks, but they did not turn away. They continued to follow the team and saw them win against the B B Falcons in the District Playoff Game and saw them lose against the Hanover Wildcats, who went on to win the state championship. It was the loyal fans who made it possible for the Trojans to win their first District Championship. There were fewer fans during basketball season; yet their spirit was just as loyal and just as high as it was during football season. The fans are what give a team a winning attitude, and but one shout of encouragement could supply the extra desire needed to win a close game. Above left: Mr. Masters. Mr. Winzer visit during game. Left: Mr. Foster had some trick plays for the Redheads. The Trojans fans braved the elements and travelled to Baileyville to see the football team become champs. V': 35 Richards Speaker The athletes of Troy High School were honored at the annual athletic banquet held May 6. The T-Club provided the chicken for the banquet and the athletes’ families provided the remainder of the meal. The guest speaker for the occasion was Charlie Richards, head football coach at Baker University. The members of the coaching staff presented their awards to the deserving athletes. Several special awards were given as well. Brent Leger was awarded the Tom Keller Award for most tackles. Joe Boeh and Sherri Sharp received the annual outstanding senior athlete awards.

The drinks for the evening were coffee and tea. Below: The honored students did not receive their letters, sports pins, and bars during the banquet because they had not yet arrived. However, the evening was a complete success. “We’re just like one big family.” This remark, made by a student, aptly describes the closeness of people in THS. Together, we’ve grown from playing tag during recess to playing championship football; from sweating out that first junior high dance to en- joying an unforgettable prom; from grade school field trips to St. Joseph, to a senior tour of St. Louis. Even though our activities have changed as we have matured, one thing has remained the same — the friendship and warmth that filled our lives in first grade is with us today. And so we dedicate this section of the TROJAN ’80 to the students, teachers, faculty, and ad- ministration of THS. Together, they’ve made our school a place to learn, to participate, to laugh, and to grow. Through them, we’ve come to know THS as home. New Teachers Bring Above: Mr. Charles Bramlage, a graduate of Kan- sas State University, taught Vocational Agricul- ture I, II, III, and IV, and farm mechanization. Mr. Bramlage was also the sponsor for the Troy Chap- ter of the Future Farmers of America. Right: Mr. Frank Davis originally came to Troy from Highland Junior College, and taught at the Troy Middle School last year. He has a BS degree from Nebraska State College, and an MS from Central Missouri State. Mr. Davis taught health, and freshman, advanced, and junior high physical education. He was the head coach for football, boys’ basketball, and track. Mr. Davis was also the T-Club sponsor. Far Right: Mrs. Marla Olson was a graduate of Kansas State University, where she received a BS degree. At Troy she taught health, and freshman and middle school physical education. Mrs. Olson was the pep club sponsor, assistant basketball coach for the girls, and also one of the sponsors of the letterman’s club. Upper right: As pep club sponsor, Mrs. Olson also worked with the cheerleading squad, and accompanied them to cheerleading camp. Right: Mr. Sandy and Gina Hanlan are shown in the library, where the Apple II computer was set up for the math classes to New Ideas To Troy use. Six new teachers were added to the Troy High School faculty. Several new classes, such as a Spanish class, were added to the students’ curricu- lum. The library received a “new look,” made possible by the new li- brarian and her groups of library aids who helped her throughout the school year. At left: Ms. Francis Rupp was the assistant sponsor for the pep club. She also taught two Spanish classes and several English classes. She was a graduate of St. Xavier College in Chicago and attended MWSC for ad- ditional courses. Her Spanish classes attended the “Ballet Folklorico.” Left: Mrs. Shirley Fetherolf, a gra- duate of the University of Arkansas with a BA degree in English and an MS degree in secondary education, was the librarian for the elementary, middle, and high schools. Above: Superintendent-Principal Mr. Pharr and Mrs. Olson converse in the halls of THS. Above: Mr. Larry Sandy was the new math teach- er. He had an MS degree from Pittsburg State and a BS degree from Northwest Missouri State. Mr. Sandy taught geometry. Algebra I and II, general math, and advanced math. He was assistant foot- ball coach and head coach for the girls’ basketball and track teams. 41 Teachers Return Teachers are thought of as people who assign homework for the weekend. But there is more to them than meets the eye. For example, they have to take money at ball games so that students may have them, especially tournament games. They are also the ones who grade the papers at night that the students do during the day. Although teachers are often the subject of com- ment and criticism, making lesson plans, attend- ing classes, and sponsoring various school activi- ties and organizations is more than a full-time job. Mr. William Foster has been experimenting” at THS for 13 years now. He teaches biology, earth science, chemistry and zoology. He enjoys running, and, in the past, he has coached cross country and assisted with football and basketball. Top: Mr. Nicholas Dannevik, throughout the 15 years he’s been here, has taught English and counseled. Above: Mr. Bruce Reynolds has been at Troy for two years, teaching government and business courses. He was an assistant football coach. Mr. Lyle Hockey, Jr. has been teaching history and sociology here for a total of ten years. 42 Mrs. Anna Goss has been cooking up good things for Troy students for 30 years. In addition to cooking, she teaches sewing and home living. Mr. Fred Folsche has taught industrial arts and physics for 16 years. I eft: Mrs. Bahetta Israel. Kayette sponsor and English teacher, has been here for seven years. Mrs. Mart ha-Jean Roc key has been teaching journalism, English, and coaching speech for six years. Below: Mr. Jerry Huff has been improving the music department for three years now. He enjoys square dancing and calling dances. Mr. Dale Whiteside has been “typing” at THS for 20 years. He also instructs general business, accounting, and shorthand. He enjoys collecting model trains. 43 Crews Keep Busy At Troy High School there are several people the students couldn’t do without. Some of these peo- ple are the THS janitors. Pictured at the right: Mr. Lyle Rockey has been working at THS for one year, Mr. Louie Thomas has worked there for elev- en years, and Mrs. Kay Clark began working here this year. In addition to the janitors there are the THS bus drivers who begin their routes in the morning to bring Trojans to school and take them home again. They also take the students to other school activi- ties. Bottom: Janitor Lyle Rockey vacuums the floors of Troy High School after the day has ended. Below. Aha! I caught you this time! says bus driver Harold Wykert. Lunch Menus Expand Other much-needed people are the THS cooks. Head cook Mrs. Ella Koehler has worked here for four years. Mrs. Carol Christenson has worked here for seven years. Mrs. Chloe Winder has been here for three years, and Mrs. Kay Clark has been a cook at THS for one year. This year as a new addition to the lunch program, the cooks put to- gether a chef salad for the every-day menu. Below: Several THS students are pictured eating and en- joying their lunch hour. Left: Head cook Ella Koehler is getting ready for loads of paper work necessary before the lunches can be served. The THS cooks are pictured above: Mrs. Carol Christenson. Mrs. Kay Clark, Mrs. Chloe Winder, and head cook Mrs. Ella Koehler. Administration Active Much book work and time were required of school secretaries Mrs. Nell Larzelere and Mrs. Gail Clary. The lunch program underwent a change this year, requiring a different type of bookkeep- ing. The school’s financial statements were balanced by Nell and Gail, under the direction of Mr. Ken- neth Pharr. He kept busy as he fulfilled the roles of principal of the high school and superintendent of USD 429. School cancellations, school board meetings, conferences, and seeing that the school ran as smoothly as possible were just a few things which took up his time. Above: Mrs. Gail Clary. Mr. Kenneth Pharr, and Mrs. Nell Larzelere are responsible for conducting the official work at THS. Above right: Mr. Pharr holds a conference in his office. Mrs. Gail Clary completes a small part of the paper work she is required to do every day. This was Gail’s second year as a THS secretary. Mrs. Nell Larzelere is recording clerk and secretary of the school board. In addition, she performs many secretarial jobs around THS. She has worked for USD 429 since 1965. School board members are selected every three years. They file for the position at the court house and go throughout the school district campaigning. Each one represents a specific area of the district. On election day, the public votes for one person from his area and for one all-area candidate. The winners attend school board meetings throughout the year. During the summer they plan the budget and hire teachers to take the place of those leaving. Dur- ing the school year they oversee the school’s activities and monitor the financial status. The school board met in the middle school due to the sale of two trailers which served as their meeting place in previous years. A trip to St. Louis highlighted the seniors’ year, thanks to board approval of the trip. School board members are pictured below. They are Mr. Robert Meng; Mr. Jerry Scholz; Mr. Paul Greaser; Mr. Kenneth Pharr, superintendent; Mr. Jerral Weber; Mrs. Thelma Horner, treasurer; Mrs. Nell Larzelere, secretary; Mr. Bill Beaty; Mr. Russell Hoverson; and Mr. Grant Speaks. Lisa Anderson Linda Ashworth Mendi Ashworth Chris Beaty Cheryl Begesse Mike Bembrick Julie Blake Brenda Boeh Rhonda Boyle Linda Briggs Music played a big part in the lives of the class of 1983. Cheryl Begesse thought that Styx’s mellow “Babe” was the best new song. Of the opposite opinion was Becky Owens, who favored the rock sound of “My Sharona” by the Knack. Lisa Anderson preferred the 1978 Meatloaf hit, “Two Out of Three Ain't Bad.” Disco was a big part of the 1979-80 music mood. Artists like Sister Sledge, Peaches and Herb, and Donna Summer were popular. The last’s “Dim All the Lights” was Linda Briggs’ favorite tune.

Even so, the class of 1983 wasn’t left out of the fun in THS. Freshmen were included in sports, activities and organizations. Some organizations have a special time during which they recognize freshmen. Freshman initiation is tra- ditional with several THS groups. FFA has Green- hand Initiation. The freshmen in FFA get their hands painted green. Kayettes also recognize the freshmen on a special day. At the annual Kayette slumber party, the frosh bobbed for onions and found a Lifesaver in a pan of flour. Front Row: Mendi Ashworth, StuCo; Marty Clary, StuCo; Mr. Whiteside, sponsor.

Twenty-nine out of forty members of the class sold post- ers, adding up to a total of $582.50. A forty percent profit was made of $233. The class officers and student council repre- sentatives were StuCo Representative Jeff Clary in front; Row 2: StuCo Representative Becky King, Secretary Debbie Masters, Treasurer Sheila Adkins, Mr. Lyle Rockey, Jr., sponsor; Row 3: Vice-president Steve Schilling, President Tim Franken. Sophomores are involved in many classes, but one of the required is biology. This class consists of collections of plants, bugs, micro- organisms, and the many sounds of someone yelling, “Breakage!” Of course, what would a class be without lots of studying, as one can see by the picture below.

Class rings for the class of 1981 were chosen in September and ordered from Josten’s. Dif- ferent colors and styles were picked. Pictured at right in Row 1 are Student Coun- cil representatives Gina Hanlan and Pat Masters. In Row 2 are Treasurer Barb Suth- erland and Secretary Lynnette Robinson. President Gian Grable and Vice-president Laura Herpich are in Row 3. Standing are sponsors Mr. Bruce Reynolds and Mrs. Shir- ley Fetherolf. When asked about their favorite movies, some of the juniors preferred thrillers. Shar- on Scholz and Patty Simpson get really scared “When a Stranger Calls.” Every morning Doug Duncan feels like it’s the “Dawn of the Dead.” Disco was in, so Tammy Simpson decided to take a trip to “Skatetown, U.S.A.” Sherman Smith pre- ferred spaghetti and “Meatballs.” One Miss Piggy fan, Terri Clary, went to see “The Muppet Movie.” Greg Dannevik decided that “10” was next to number one, and Karen Winzer thought it was “The Main Event.” “The Promise” Lyn- nette Robinson made was broken after she found out Laura Herpich had been seeing “Superman.” Veronica Paulich, Sharon Scholz, and Jim Owens enjoy “cutting up” during Spanish I. Veronica and Sharon’s project, a banner, read “En bocc cerrada no entran moscas.” It means. Flies don't enter a closed mouth!” Randy Smith Sherman Smith Barb Sutherland Kevin Sutton Carl Tharman 52 Brad Blake Phil Buch Deanna Clary Robert Clary Terri Clary Greg Dannevik Doug Duncan Glen Grable Gina Hanlan Laura Herpich Allen Hillegas Jay Jarrett Darrel Marriott Jerry Masters Pat Masters Brenda Meng Tom Mullins Jim Owens Veronica Paulich Robert Ruckett Lynnette Robinson it Ray Rush Jeff Sandy Sharon Scholz Barry Simpson Patty Simpson Tammy Simpson Kevin Wasson Margie Weber Bruce Whetstine Kevin Winkel Karen Winzer S3 54 Mark Adkins Lee Culp Bill Duncan Deanna Hoverson David Hull Candy Huss Jim Dubach Seniors Say Goodby To Troy Like every graduating class of THS, the seniors of ’80 chose a color, flower and motto. These were chosen when the class was in the eighth grade, and they still remain true. For the colors, they chose the bicentennial hues of red, white, and blue. The pink rose was picked as the class flower. A class motto is supposed to be a saying that will be remembered in later years. For theirs, the class chose: “If you can’t have the best of everything, make the best of what you have.” Darrell Furr k Lee Jordan Debbie Guy Maria Lara Tim Hoffman Brent Leger 55 E. Tucker, B.

Academics is by far the most necessary and time-consuming part of a high school career. The hours in class are often accompanied by evenings filled with textbooks and papers. And what teen-ager doesn’t mix dating, club meetings, and athletics with study time? As the classes of 1980, 1981, 1982, and 1983 venture into the world, the noisy halls and ringing bells of THS will fade from our minds. But the influences of our teachers, including the challenges we faced in Mr. Fos- ter’s laboratory, the authors we met in Mrs. Rockey’s literature classes, and the business skills we learned from Mr. Whiteside, will go with us and enrich our lives. Class Visits Topeka Mr. Bruce Reynolds, one of the social science teachers, had his picture taken with Governor John Carlin. This occurred when the American government class visited the state capitol Febru- ary 28. The annual County Government Day was December 6 at the Doniphan County Courthouse in Troy. The class had a mock election to select the participants. The students receiving the high- est number of votes attended. There were fifteen students representing THS. The class was re- quired to do a research paper the last nine weeks. In this paper they were supposed to state their opinion about a current issue and present an argu- ment to support it. Mr. Lyle Rockey Jr. was the American history, world history, geography, and sociology teacher. The American history classes had new books and workbooks to use. The different classes were sometimes required to do study guides, maps, book reports, short reports, and term papers. The classes were also shown a series of films on Ameri- can economics.

In Industrial Arts I, Mr. Folsche’s students made drawings, learned to operate machine tools, and completed one hand and one ma- chine project. Industrial Arts II made me- chanical and architectural drawings. Stu- dents in Industrial Arts III and IV made ma- chine projects, refinished several items, and did repair work. Instructing vocational agriculture courses for the first time at Troy was Mr. Charles Bram- lage. His Vo-ag I class was taught introduc- tory items. The Vo-ag II class covered live- stock. Topics taught in Vo-ag III were en- gines, electricity, soils, land judging, fertiliz- ers, and crops. Vo-ag IV introduced students to subjects of land acquisition, management, and production. Farm mechanization was also offered. 63 Olson, Davis Lead New to the health and physical education area were Mrs. Marla Olson, teaching health and fresh- man girls’ P.E., and Mr. Frank Davis, who taught health, freshman boys’ and advanced P.E. Different diseases, nutrition, and various systems of the human body were among the subjects stud- ied in Mrs. Olson’s health class. Mr. Davis’s health class studied the body’s functions and the differ- ent types of drugs. Among the sports covered in the advanced P.E. class were weight lifting, tennis, power volleyball, and basketball. The freshman boys and girls played soccer, speed ball, and basketball. They also had weight training and learned gymnastics. They participated in a short gym show held in conjunction with a special open house March 27. They performed various gymnastic stunts.

Ms. Fran Rupp joined THS English teachers Mrs. Martha Rockey and Mrs. Babetta Israel. Ms. Rupp also taught Spanish. 1 The three teachers taught 9-week Eng- j lish mini-courses. The classes touched many different areas, including theater, grammar, speech, and personal identifi- cation. On February 22 Mrs. Rockey’s chil- ■ dren’s theater class presented the “Wiz- ard of Oz for the grade school. Those | students involved were Glen Grable, Deb Guy, Lee Jordan, Beth Marriott, Pam McNemee, and Carl Tharman. Joe Franken, Deanna Hoverson, Becky Puckett, and Jeff Sandy were prompt- ers.

The band marched and the pom pon girls performed at every home football game. They particpated in the annual KSU Band Day, October 6. Halloween parades were on the agenda. The band and pom pon girls represented THS at the Troy and Hiawatha parades, October 31. The concert band and chorus performed a winter concert, December 19, featuring se- lected Christmas music, and a spring con- cert highlighted with contest music.

V 67 State Held At Baker The THS band and chorus journeyed to Baker Uni- versity in Baldwin City for the state music contest. The band and girls’ ensemble performed April 2, and the solos and other ensembles, April 3. The chorus didn’t participate at contest. Susan Begesse accom- panied the groups on the piano. “Crusader’s Hymn” and “Russian Sailor’s Dance” were the numbers played by the band. Instrumental soloists were Geri Fenley, “Waltz”; Linda Ashworth, “Menuet”; and Jeff Barnthson, “Romance.” The flute trio played “Flutation.” The girls’ ensemble sang “The Gift of Song” and “The World Is Yours.” Vocal solo numbers were Geri Fenley, “Ashgrove” and “That Wonderful Mother of Mine”; and Bryan Gaither, “Every Night When the Sun Goes Down” and “Little French Clock.” Pictured upper right: Geri Fenley, Jeff Barnthson, and Linda Ashworth took instrumental solos to state contest.

VTv Do Spanish Is Spoken For the first time in four years THS students had the opportunity to take Spanish under the direction of a new teacher, Ms. Fran Rupp. During the school year the students learned to speak Spanish. They were always referred to by their Spanish names during class. The class also celebrated Spanish holidays. On one day they visited the cemetery and ate bread to honor the dead. This is a Spanish tradition called “El Dia de los Muertos,” or the “Day of the Dead,” which coincides with All Soul’s Day in English-speaking countries. Upper right: Ms. Rupp looks over shoulders while students concentrate. Right: Ms. Rupp strikes a match at Mount Olive Cemetery to start the Spanish ceremony, All Soul's Day. Top: V. Paulich. D.

After a long discussion, the school board decided to retain the class next year. In the class, the students discussed much about family life. They learned how to budget and manage a household. Some crafts they were taught included macrame and acrylic painting. Sewing made up the schedule for Home Ec. I. Both male and female students participated in the class. The parts of the sewing machine were learned and then the basics of stitchery. After this, the class began their projects. Cooking set the scene for Home Ec. II. The class enjoyed making and eating many dishes. Decorated cakes were made and sold to the highest bidders. The first part of the year, the Home Ec. Ill class spent time in the kitchen. The remaining days were filled with sewing. Left: Laura Staudenmaier refinishes a door in home living class. There were several boys taking home economics this year.

III. 71 Sandy Takes Over Mr. Larry Sandy taught general math, Algebra I and 11, geometry and trigonometry. This was his first year at THS. One of the highlights of the year for Mr. San- dy’s math classes was learning about comput- ers. Mr. Sandy acquired an Apple II computer belonging to the Doniphan County Education Cooperative in January. The math department was able to keep the machine only two weeks since it was on loan. The geometry, algebra, and trigonometry teams competed in the annual HCJC Math-Science- Day contest. They also attended a math compe- tition at Benedictine College for the first time. Above right: Mr. Folsche goes over a physics test with Jeff Sandy Dean Weber and Ron Neumann wait for their turn to play “Star Wars” on the Apple II Computer. Mr. Sandy set up the computer in the library so students could use it during class and free time. Above are the math participants at Benedictine. Front Row: W. Hoverson, B. Meng, T. Franken, R.

The students placed fourth at HCJC. Mr. William Foster was the instructor. He also taught biology, botany-zoology, and earth science. The biology classes were required to make a plant collection. They also studied bacte- ria cultures taken from various locations in and around the school building. Dissecting was done by the botany-zoology students. They dissected different types of animals, including earthworms and sharks. The physics class also competed at the Chemathon and Math- Science Day. Mr. Fred Folsche directed the class. Members of this class were Susan Begesse, Joe Boeh, Jim Dubach, Tim Hoffman, Deanna Hoverson, Lee Jordan, Jeff Sandy, and Mace Thornton. The class worked problems and had many discussions. Top: Mr. Bill Foster instructs the bulk of the THS science-related courses. Mr. Foster, a 1960 graduate of THS, is shown giving notes about honey bees to his botany- zoology class.

Class Earns Fish Dinner The accounting class ventured to the Red Lobster in St. Joseph. May 16, for dinner. Mr. Dale Whiteside, instructor, paid $5.00 on each person's bill. He treated the students because he said they accomplished more this year than any class in twenty years. Class members who went were Lynnette Robinson, Randy Smith. Margie Weber, Susan Begesse. Brenda Dannevik, and Lee Jordan. Veronica Paulich was a member of the class but didn't attend. Patty Simpson substituted for her. April 14 was the business contest at Highland Community Junior College. Accounting and shorthand classes were represented. Those participating were Susan Begesse. Lee Jordan. Pam McNemee. Becky Puckett, Laura Staudenmaier. and Margie Weber. Other subjects taught by Mr. Whiteside were Typing I and II and shorthand. Typing I class made Christmas cards on the typewriter. This was the first time for shorthand in many years. General business, business math, and economics were taught by Mr. Reynolds. Elementary business procedures were learned in general business. Business math is fundamental math that goes along with running a business.

The one-act play, “The Happy Scarecrow,” also took the first-place league trophy for the fourth year. The speech team competed at several speech contests during the school year. Team members consistently won medals in nearly every competition. One of the main events of the speech season was a Troy Invitational contest March 15. Troy placed second over-all. Other meets in which Troy participated were the Jefferson County North contest, the regional evaluations at Shawnee Mission East, and the state contest at Johnson County Community College.

There probably isn’t one student or teacher in THS who didn’t get involved in some small way with a 1979-80 extra-curricular activity. From prom to the all-school play, from Barnwarming to Homecoming, the size of our school gave everyone a chance to get in- volved. “You wouldn’t catch me in a big school,” one Trojan stated emphatically. What THS student will ever forget the Homecoming bonfire, the happy glow of the Queen of Courts, or the smiling girls who bravely threw cowchips Barnwarming night? The play cast will take with them forever the tension they felt on the stage just before the curtain opened, and the memories of many long rehearsals. Whatever the activity, THS had something for everyone. These experiences gave stu- dents the chance to expand their worlds — together. Debbie Reigns Tears, cheers, and tension provided the background for the homecoming corona- tion. Debbie Guy was crowned queen by head escort Mark Adkins. Deb said, “At first I was surprised, and then I started crying because I was so happy.” The queen was attended by Beth Mar- riott, Brenda Dannevik, Candy Huss, and Tina Robinson. Their escorts were Joe Franken, Lee Jordan, Marvin Ross, and Don Stock. Leslie Scholz, Kristin Snyder, Chad Clary, and Jason Winder brought the crown and flowers. Debbie was presented a bouquet of roses, homecoming sash, crown, and kiss by Mark. Queen Debbie and court intently watch the homecoming Mr. Legs. Joe Boeh, was named by Susan Begesse at the Snake game- Dance. 80 Pictured above far left: Queen Deb’s reign was climaxed by a tense, 6 0 Trojan defeat at the hands of the Highland Bluestreaks. It was the only loss of the season. Pictured above left: The candidates and their escorts were Candy Huss and Joe Franken, Tina Robinson and Donald Stock, Debbie Guy and Mark Adkins, Brenda Dannevik and Lee Jordan, and Beth Marriott and Marvin Ross. The Homecoming court was selected by the football team. Debbie was chosen queen by vote of the student body.

Brenda Meng was the first runner-up, and Laura Herpich was the second runner-up. Others competing were Barb Sutherland and Terri Clary. Their escorts were Ron Neumann, Paul Neumann, Pat Masters, and Glen Grable. Second runner-up L. Herpich squares a board during the evening activities. The girls were judged in the following ca- tegories to show their talent and knowl- edge. They were the judge’s interview, the tool quiz, the FFA quiz, a written essay on “Why I Want To Be FFA Sweetheart,” and six events. The events included feeding marshmal- lows to sheep, threading a bolt, throwing “organic frisbees” through a tire, climbing a rope, squaring a board, and hammering a nail through a block of wood. Rick Austin, of KKJO Radio, provided music for a dance held after the crowning. Pooka Invades Troy “Harvey” was performed November 15-16. There were two matinees and an evening performance. Elwood P. Dowd, a friendly, happy go-lucky fellow, has become attached to a “pooka” named “Harvey.” Pooka is a term from old Celtic mythology meaning “a fairy spirit in animal form, always very large. The pooka appears here and there, now and then, to this one and that one at his own caprice, a wise but mischievous creature fond of rum-pots and crack- pots.” Harvey and Elwood go everywhere and do every- thing together. Elwood’s sister Veta Louise isn’t very happy with the arrangement, so she and her daugh- ter plot to get Elwood committed to an institution. Everyone, but Elwood, underestimates the power of a pooka, because they all try to convince Elwood to take an injection, so that he won’t remember Harvey and will return to normal. But Harvey, through his magical powers, saves Elwood from this fate. And they all live happily ever after. Upper right: Harvey sits in the chair while Elwood finishes a phone call.

Head Escort Joe Boeh had the honor of crowning Queen Beth during the February 22 ceremonies. Joe went on to spark THS to a 64-48 routing of Midway by hitting 18 points. The strains of Styx’s hit song “Babe” filled the air, as court members Candy Huss and Mark Adkins, Bren- da Dannevik and Scott Davis, Sherri Sharp and Don- ald Stock, Joi Trant and Marvin Ross, and Beth and Joe took part in the coronation held in C. W. Oliver Gymnasium. The sound of a disco found its way into THS during a dance held after the games. Disc jockey Len Becker of Hiawatha played records for the event. “Jersey Day and “Dress-up Day” were sponsored by StuCo during Queen of Courts Week to get Trojan spirit flowing. A special pep assembly on Jersey Day featured the basketball escorts attempting to crack an egg into a cup which the queen candidates held in their mouths.

April 26 was a night spe- cial from the rest in which the juniors dedicated the entire evening to the graduating class. The evening began in the Troy Legion Hall with a banquet prepared by the junior class mothers. Former THS teacher, Mrs. Sherry Deaton, was the speaker. The sophomores who served the meal were Sheila Adkins, Teresa Blanton, Cully Clary, Michelle Foley, Tim Franken, Kim Jamvold, James Marriott, Deb Masters, Paula Pennell, Pat Pollock, John M. Simpson, and Jimmy Stock. After the banquet, couples arrived at the dance to hear the band, “Myth,” perform. The juniors also arranged for everyone to see the movie “Star Trek” after the dance. The juniors made the evening a memorable occa- sion since it truly was “The Point of No Return” for the senior class. Upper Right: Mrs. Deaton roasts the juniors and seniors. Above: R.

Head es- cort, Debbie Guy, presented Mace with a “God’s Gift to Women” me- dallion. Candidates for Mr. Ladies’ Man were Scott Davis, Joe Franken, Lee Jordan, and Rick Seiter. Es- corting the candidates were Laura Staudenmaier, Elizabeth Tucker, Beth Marriott, and Susan Begesse. The Ladies’ Night dance, spon- sored by the Kayettes, was Sadie- Hawkins style, in which the gals asked the guys. Music was pro- vided by disc jockey Len Becker of Hiawatha.

It began at 7 P.M. Activities consisted of classroom displays, parent-teacher conferences, and a program. The program began with the one-act play, “The Happy Scarecrow.” Gymnastics were performed by seventh through ninth grade physical education classes. They ended their stunts by building human pyramids. The end of the program was presented by Home Ec. I and III classes in s short style show. The students modeled one item or an outfit they had made during the year. Serving refreshments of cookies and punch were Home Ec. II students. The Spanish classes prepared tostados for visitors to sample. Another reason for the open house was to show the school and its condition to the parents. Voters were urged to vote for the reinstatement of a capital outlay fund, which pays for new equipment and improvements to the building. The proposition was defeated.

Right: After a hard day at school, David Hull and Mike Franken relax with a game on the pin ball machine. Teens Save Time For Fun Togetherness is a teenager’s livelihood. Young people love to so- cialize, whether it’s at a game, on a date, or with the whole gang at the Pizza Hut. A typical Friday night after a ball game would show THS students on Main Street. A few might even stop at the Troy Drive Inn to get something to eat or to use the game room. Some students might not like coming to school, but everyone seems to enjoy the precious few minutes before school and be- tween classes. The halls echo with constant chatter and laughter. Of course, there is the student who forgot to study for the test last night, cramming all of the lesson into his head in 15 minutes. And what about the practical jokers who stack lockers, tie locker doors shut, or put articles in other students’ lockers? Others might just wander around, talk to teachers or try to make it to the third floor without getting caught and sent back downstairs. On special occasions, such as a school dance, a guy will pick up his date and go cruising around Troy for awhile. After the dance, the couple might even take a secluded country road to find a spot where they can “gaze at the stars.” Upper left: Mendi poses for the camera in hopes that some day she might be a professional model. Upper right: At the cross country meet. Mendi speeds over the course. Lower left: Mendi listens intently at a Kayette Club meeting. Mendi Wins A Page Mendi Ashworth was fortunate enough to be chosen for this special student feature page. Mendi was a very active freshman. She was one of the three female members of the cross country team. She placed 16th at the K-36 Cross Country Cham- pionship meet. Other school activities which Mendi engaged in were Pep Club, track, and Kayettes. Basketball occupied Mendi’s time during the winter months. Throughout the season Mendi scored a total of eight points. In the middle of January, Mendi became a pom pon girl as a replacement. Mendi’s interests include sports, such as water ski- ing, swimming, and jogging; popular music; and mov- ies. Mendi’s favorite song of the year was “Please Don’t Go” by K.C. and the Sunshine Band. At the movies, Mendi laughed along with millions of Ameri- cans at the zany antics of Steve Martin in “The Jerk.” Mendi would someday like to be a part of the glamor- ous fashion scenes like Cheryl Tiegs, the famous model. When asked what she was looking forward to the most about being a sophomore, Mendi replied, “I’ll only have two more years of school left!” Diplomas Conferred The class of 1980 was formally graduated May 19 in the C.W. Oliver Gymnasium. Dr. Frank D. Grispino, director of student teaching at Northwest Missouri State University, gave the commencement address. Susan Begesse, valedictorian of the senior class, gave a short oration, and Laura Staudenmaier presented the salutatorian address. “In This Our Life,” a poem by an unknown author, was read by senior Lee Jordan. Morris Watkins, another member of the class of ’80, played a trumpet solo, “Yesterday Once More.” Have a Mind to Work” was the topic presented by the Reverend Robert Biggs at the Baccalaureate services Sunday, May 18. The Reverend Glora Burns gave the invocation and benediction. Susan Begesse performed a piano solo entitled “The Fountain,” by Maurice Ravel. Right: Reading “In This Our Life is senior Lee Jordan.
