WA-KAW 1973 Wamego High School Wamego, Kansas Volume Number 32 Forward! That's the cry of the students at WHS. We are going for- ward toward a future. From the time we took our first step forward when we were babies we have been going forward, learn- ing new things. These were all necessary for us to become intelli- gent adults. During our high school years we are taught things to prepare us for the life we lead after we graduate. We come into high school on the edge of adolescence and leave as young adults facing a world that will be ours one day. Now, let's go forward through this book and see how the students at WHS prepare themselves for a future. 2 Come in and See What's Happening at WHS School Life . . Sports .... Organizations .

In the next few pages you will see how the different classes prepare the students to go forward into the world. New ways of teaching have been adopted at WHS to supply a student with the best possible education he or she can have. In this way, the school also goes forward by using new teaching techniques. Staff Changes Wa-kaller to Offset Print The Journalism staff, though small, produced a news- paper every four weeks and also published a yearbook. Since the class was small, everyone worked both on the yearbook and newspaper. The Wa-Kaller underwent a facelift. Since its be- ginning the newspaper had been mimeographed. Through the desire of the Journalism staff and funding by the district, arrangements were made for the Ag- Press in Manhattan to print it. Staff members decided the traditional name, Wa- Kaw, better suited the annual than the name of Flashback which was used the year before. Thanks to willingness of various groups in the school to pay for extra pages, the Wa-Kaw also had 36 extra black and white pages in it. 6 OPPOSITE TOP LEFT: Susie Rawson and Marilyn Prock- ish crop pictures and draw layouts as deadline nears.

The purpose was to approach concerts and pop music differently. Ensembles from the com- munity and the high school performed songs from How the West was Won and Spinning Wheels. The con- cert was successful and the band plans to continue this concert in the future. The band also performed for the Open House Concert in May. The band attended League Festival at Chapman in Feb- ruary. Mr. John Childs said that he thought the band did a great job. He added that they really worked to leam the music in the two weeks prior to the festival. The band contributed to community projects by playing for the Lions' Club Candy Day. They also played for Veterans Day assembly. The Raider band boosted school spirit at a number of sporting events. The band participated in Band Day at Kansas State University. They also performed halftime shows at four football games, and led the Snake Dance and Homecoming Parade downtown. The band played for eight home basketball games. They also played for the pep assemblies before all games. Band Director Childs said his goal was to expose band members to as much good music as possible. He said he wanted them to leam what it means to strive for excellence and how much work it takes for a good per- formance. He added that he wanted them to have pride in their accomplishments and to represent their school and community to the best of their ability. LEFT: WHS marching band stands in marching form- ation.

Mr. Dan Commerford, Vocal Music teacher, said the greatest ambition of the classes had been the Christmas program performed for the TV program, Christmas in Kansas, and the new variety show. Due to the great success of the variety show, the Vocal Music Department plans to make it an annual event. Mixed Choir was divided into two hours in order to give more students the opportunity to take the class. However, because the classes were too small, Mr. Commerford plans to change the mixed chorus classes to one select class. He also wiU combine girls glee and boys glee to form a large mixed choir. This choir will meet during activity period. ABOVE: Chorale officers, Kevin Webster, Secretary; Linda Hoobler, Treasurer; and Rick Lough, Presi- dent; organized ticket sales for music concerts.

These three groups competed in the State Music Festival at Emporia. The Girls Tri- ple Trio received a I rating and the Mixed Ensemble and Boys Quartet both took II ratings. The small en- sembles performed for many different organizations outside of school. They added much enjoyment to the programs they attended. Although they have little practice time, the Glee Clubs of WHS add much sound to a program. Girls Glee and Boys Glee both performed at the State Music Festi- val in April. They both received I ratings. WHS Girls Glee was the largest glee club to perform at the State Festival. Four soloists also attended the State Festival. Noel Sylvester and Lorraine Simpson received 1 ratings. Both Jan Gant and Linda Haynes took II ratings. ?

At the Fredonia Debate tournament held September 30, Lorraine Simpson and Steve Bradford took third place. Dan Crilly and Jim Maguin won second place at the Invitational Debate tournament held October 28, at Manhattan Junior High School. Participating in the Gardner Invitational Tournament November 18, Crilly and Maguin took first place. Simpson and Bradford and Maguin and Cril- ly tied for second for the sweepstake award at the Junc- tion City tournament December 8-9. Other tournaments that they participated in were the Winfield Tournament held December 1-2 and the District tournament held January 12-13 at Manhattan. Wamego hosted a tourna- ment here on December 16. Bradford and Maguin were tournament managers. The debate topic this year was that the Federal Gov- ernment should provide exclusive funding for secondary and elementary public schools. Each team during the year took either a negative or affirmative stand on the above topic. TOP: Debaters show off the five trophies they captured during the 1972-73 season. ABOVE: Mark Tessendorf, Mike Morton, and Bill Umscheid participated only the second nine weeks of first semester. Debate coach Mrs. Pat Greene said, Those boys did quite well consider- ing that they had less time to prepare. RIGHT: Debate team all climb a tree to their success this 1972-73 school year. 14 Language Arts in Action The English department continued the nine weeks elec- tive micro-course program this year. Courses in English Literature, American Literature, World Literature, Drama, Poetry, Creative Writing, and Mass Media were a few of the courses offered. Students who desire to learn a foreign language may enroll in Spanish or German. Intro to Drama classes produced The Hobbit to help them learn about what is needed to put on a dramatic production. The play was given in a Matinee for the Elementary grades and an evening performance to the public. The students learned not only about acting, but also about the work behind the stage needed to put on a play. Competition was the aim of Interpersonal Communica- tions class. The class prepared speeches, plays, prose, interpretations and then competed in the Forensics contests. The Mass Media class helped write stories for the school paper. This helped the students learn how to report on an event accurately and how to complete the facts into a good story. TOP: Rollin Lind tapes an assignment for his English I class. LEFT: Kevin Ethington and Steve Daylor work to complete a dragon for drama classes production The Hobbit. ABOVE: Spanish instructor, Mrs. Phyllis Hoestje, converses with Spanish III students, Eileen Jackson and Mr. Bill Knostman. 15 Social Science Students Gain Insights on Society The Social Science classes studied the written and unwritten laws of Man's society. Mr. Tony Dutton, Social Science Instructor, conduct- ed classes in Government, Psychol- ogy, Economics, International Re- lations, Social Studies, and Soci- ology. He conducted simulations and used gaming techniques to help the students attain interest in Man's insights on his society. The students learned to understand the laws that make Man's society what it is to- day. Some of the classes, Psychol- ogy, International Relations, and Sociology, helped the students deal with the unwritten laws. Govern- ment, Economics, and Social Studies dealt with the laws that man has already made in his society. History Simulations Challenging to Students Mr. Corwin Seamans, History In- structor, conducted simulations pertaining to the events that hap- pened in the past. His simulations were conducted to help the students gain insights into the background of historical events. One of the simulations, Destiny, dealt with life during the Spanish-American War. It included how the different groups of people involved with the war influenced it's outcome. This simulation, along with the others, proved to make History Class a more enjoyable and interesting class. Mr. Seamans and Mr. Dut- ton also sponsored a workshop for area Social Science and History teachers in the fall at Clay Center. They presented the methods and techniques which they use in simulations. 17 Vo-Ag and Industrial Arts Involve Many The Vocational-Agricultural department is headed by Mr. Ron Hollandsworth. The courses he teaches are In- troduction to Agriculture, Animal and Crop Science, Agriculture Management, Agriculture Related Occupa- tions, and Vocational Objective Mechanics. The stu- dents in the Vo-ag classes feel that these classes give them much of valuable experience and knowledge about agriculture. Mr. Hollandsworth has his hands full teaching this very important field of study at WHS. The Industrial Arts classes, taught by Mr. Dennis Adams, include Girls Shop, Mechanical Drawing I and II, and Industrial Arts I and II. These classes teach many of the aspects of woodworking, architecture, mechanics, and other related skills. Many students feel that these courses are very important because of the training and experience involved in them.

BELOW-RIGHT: The intricacies of the sew- ing machirte are revealed to Dan Kliener during Boy's Home Ec class. 18 Business and Home Ec Gain More Classes Mr. Richard Ciemny and Mrs. Peggy Lenherr teach the business classes at WHS. Mrs. Lenherr teaches Typing I and Shorthand I and II classes. Mr. Ciemny teaches Typing II, bookkeeping, office practice, general busi- ness, and applied business. Several students in applied business worked for Wamego businessmen during class- time this year. The students involved were pleased with the experience received during the experiment. The Home Economics department does not offer cour- ses only for high school girls. Several classes of Mrs. Edna Doperalski and Mrs. Myma Eisenbeis, home eco- nomics teachers, prove this point. For example, there are now a Boy's Home Ec, Home Ec Seminar, and Family Living classes available. Also the ordinary home economics classes have undergone many changes. In short, the home economics department now has something for everyone. ABOVE LEFT: Julie Owens, senior, receives some experience in an- swering the telephone during office practice.

Physics students did experiments on Theories on Sound, Light, and Simple Machines to name a few of their many projects. After an experiment is completed the students then write up a lab report over what they saw and what hap- pened during the course of the experiment. In the Chemistry department the students have studied such things as the Molar Volume of a Gas or the Titration of an Acid and a Hydroxide. Also the students learned how to successfully use a slide rule, which is very helpful throughout the year. In Biology the students studied an- imals, their classification and dissection, the relation- ship of air and earth, and the plant kingdom. RIGHT: Dan Kleiner and Steve Bradford do an experi- ment in their Physics class. BELOW: Bob Owens works on one of his many projects connected with science. BELOW RIGHT: Gordon Worthing and Dalene Domeny carefully watch as one of their experiments progresses in their chemistry class. New Techniques Started in Art Department Art students completed many creative and very nice looking art projects. There are four art classes: Archi- tecture, Introductory Art and Survey, General Crafts, and Drawing, Painting, and Graphics. In Architecture, the students lay out housing ideas and build a scale model. Introductory Art and Survey is a half semester course which introduces the students to art, the back- ground of art, and many famous artists. Introductory Art and Survey also teaches the fundamentals of basic art, drawing, painting, lettering, and sculpting. In General Crafts the students learn to make many different things. In Drawing, Painting, and Graphics the students con- tinue to learn how to improve their drawing, painting, and graphic skiUs. Girl's Physical Education class ac- complished many skills throughout this year. The girls have participated in Swimming, Football, Basketball, Volleyball, Badminton, Gymnastics and Archery. Freshman girls' Physical Education classes met fifth hour and Advanced Girls Physical Education met sixth hour.

'Pieces of April Is Jr.-Sr. Prom Theme A spring time theme, Pieces of April complete with daisies and colorful yellow memory booklets bright- ened up the Junior-Senior Prom held at the Ramada Inn in Manhattan Kansas. With the song Pieces of April interspersed with nu- merous popular tunes sung and played by the band, Stoned Circus , the prom was a great success. ABOVE: Brad Bartlow and Sandi Hill take a break at the refresh- ment table at the prom. ABOVE RIGHT: Robert Rickstrew and Debbie Spencer enjoyed dancing to the song Pieces of April.

Brad plans and executes a comic love affair that turns our with the joke on Brad. Jan, an interior decorator, lands jobs with some very unusual people. Johnathan Forbes, played by Kevin Worrel, is a wealthy movie producer who has been married three times before, and tries to get Jan to marry him. Brad maneuvers a meeting with Jan and takes on a false identity to disguise his true identity. TOP LEFT: Candy Piper converses with the other half of her party line.

The comedy involved a rich lady whose children tried to get her committed to a mental institution so they could get control of her money. Trying to stay in character, memorizing lines, practic- ing a long time without props, missing cues, messing around backstage, putting on all that make-up, and blowing a few lines during the final performance all added up to a play that must have been hysterically funny by the way the audience was laughing.

Seniors Hold Annual Picnic at Tuttle Creek Left over pop, potato salad, baked beans, and about 100 hot dogs could describe the end of the senior pic- nic, May 15 at Tuttle Puddle. Two bus loads of seniors and the four class sponsors, Mrs. Ann Bay, Mrs. Edna Doperalski, Mr. John Harsh- barger, and Mr. Dwight Hemmerling, made their way to the lake stopping on the way to pick up ice cream bars and fudge sickles in Manhattan. After unloading, a lively softball game took place. Other seniors could be found playing with frisbees, hiking, and eating. Meanwhile, many girls sunbathed down by the lake. Soon throwing people into the lake and swimming in unauthorized areas became the popular pastime. Mark Asher, Jeff Birk, and Danny Guth spent part of the afternoon scuba diving. Before departure time, water fights and cans of pop being shaken up and then opened on some unaware person ended the picnic. Sun-bumed, dirty, wet, and tired the seniors returned to Wamego after spending their final day as a class together.

Sen- iors, as usual, had an ecstatic time while working on the float. The float depicted a cannibal sitt- ing by a pot in front of his hut, cooking the opponents. While building the float the rainy weath- er and the pre-Halloween mood helped create the setting for some adventurous activities, which sometimes received more atten- tion than decorating. Senior boys, searching for cornstalks to decor- ate the hut and chasing off snoop- ing underclassmen, filled the work with liveliness. Though the float only placed third, many seniors agreed that their float was much better than previous floats they had constructed. 27 Some School Activities Are tor Srs. Only Seniors are involved in many activities throughout the school year that only they can be involved in because they ARE seniors. They are involved with having senior pictures taken, trading their pictures with friends, ordering graduation announcements, exchanging name cards with others, measuring for their caps and gowns, excitedly trying them on when they arrive, leading the school in class yells at assemblies, working hard to prepare their sen- ior skit and class wills, being honored at club fare- wells, applying to colleges or other schools, filling out scholarship applications, enjoying a senior picnic at a nearby lake, raising money by having concession stands at football and basketball games, and having class meetings in the library. 28 OPPOSITE FAR LEFT: Becky Une and Joyce Soelter show their en- thusiasm of being seniors by yelling the senior yell at an assembly.

Forward is the object of the game in sports. Ever heard of scoring a touchdown by running backwards or winning a race by running backwards or winning a wrestling match by backing away from the opponent? Of course not! In every sport we play, we must go forward to at- tain a victory. Sports also play an important part in preparing us for a future. When we go out for a sport we learn how to get along with other people. We learn how to work side by side with these people to achieve a goal.

Raiders Take Second The Wamego Red Raiders completed the 1972 season with a 5-4 record. Also the Raiders took second in the NCKL League by the toss of a coin. This year the Raid- ers had a very tough schedule as compared to the last couple of seasons. This year the Raiders traveled to Missouri to play. Also they traveled to Effingham and Atchinson. Bruce Brazzle, Mark Asher, and Marvin Wil- son were named to the All-League Team. Bruce Braz- zle was named All-League offensive tackle, Mark Asher was named All-League defensive linebacker and Marvin Wilson was named All-League defensive back. Mark Asher also got Honorable Mention for tight end, along with Mark, Mike Pageler got Honorable Mention for quarterback. Marvin Wilson also got Honorable Men- tion for offensive back. On the defense those on Honorable Mention were Bruce Brazzle, defensive end; and Mike Pageler, defensive back. Several WHS Seniors to Receive Awards This year the most inspirational player was John Smith. John play- ed the defensive nose and offensive fullback positions. John did miss a few games due to injuries. Injuries were not an unusual occurance for the Raiders. This year several people were injured during the course of the season. One of them was Bruce Brazzle who hurt his leg. Bruce was the Best Lineman for the Raiders. Bruce played offensive tackle and defensive end. This is the second year that Bruce has re- ceived this honor of being Best Lineman. The Best Back this year was Marvin Wilson who played of- fensive tailback and defensive halfback.

The average enrollment of our oppo- nents was between 395-400 stu- dents to Wamego's 254 students. If WHS was larger perhaps there would be more school spirit and better attendance at the games. Compared to other schools Wame- go is low in game attendance for practically all sports. But the Rai- der's spirit is still high even though Wamego is a little school. Some of the schools played that were larger than WHS were: Marysville, Abilene, Atchison, Concordia, Council Grove, Chapman, and Benton St. Joseph. There were only two schools that the Raiders played that were close to Wame- go's enrollment and they were Santa Fe Trails and Effingham. UPPER LEFT: Mike Pageler 10 runs around the end to gain a few more yards, while Marvin Wilson 32 blocks for Mike Pageler. LEFT: Steve Sack- rider carries the ball through a crowd. BELOW: Marvin Wilson 32 carries the ball, as Mike Cook 64 blocks for him. B-Teamers Work Hard The Raiders finished the 1972 season with a record of Mr. Ron Holmes, B-Team football coach, said, I feel the boys put out a tremendous effort. The B-team not only played in their own games but also played in the varsity games. These boys added depth to the varsity team.

Rasmussen Institutes Star Point System Head BasketbaU Coach Erik Rasmussen awarded star points to the basketbaU players for doing an outstanding job during the games. Star points were given when a player did a good job at rebounding or making a big play work. Also, negative star points were used when a player made a big mistake, played lousy defense or committed an act upon which the coach frowns. AU players were eligible for star points, both positive and negative. A running total was kept of how many star points each player earned. For so many star points, the player was given a star which was sewn on his warm-up jacket. The number of star points earned by the indi- vidual players are as follows: Terry Asbury, 49; Mark Asher, 63; Kim Bahner, 211; Steve Bradford, 5; Todd Fulmer, 181; Bryce Jacobson, 7; Mike Pageler, 180; David Schmidt, 56; Phil Stultz, 30; Clay Vincent, 261; and Marvin Wilson, 135.

After we are out on our own, we will discover that we have to work with any number of people. These high school organizations also help us learn lead- ership that is needed in our future plans. 59 Student Council Makes Changes for the Benefit of Wamego High School Students Student Council led a busy and active year at Wamego High School. Besides filling the pop machine, sponsor- ing dances, and providing assemblies, Stu-Co again worked with teachers and students. Honor pass once again worked successfully for most people. Student Council promoted the idea of a plaque to be hung on the north end of second floor. Various clubs had their emblems placed on the plaque. The plaque was designed by the Wamego High School Art students. The 1973-74 Student Council elections, held on April 11, produced a good turn out. While 88 per cent of the Junior class voted, 73 per cent of the Sophomores cast their ballot. The Freshman managed a 70 per cent vote which was still an excellent turn out for an election. Bryce Jacobson was elected as Student Council's presi- dent for 1973-74 with Steve Sackrider elected as the vice president.

Student Council also sponsored several dances for the pleasure of the entire student body. One of the dances did not have a band to provide the music. It involved disc jockies, Bob Murray and Richard Baker of Man- hattan, called The Good Guys. Under the leadership of Mike Pageler, president, and Terry Asbury, vice president, Student Council contin- ued to confer with students and teachers to keep the lines of communication open.

Girls Service Club Aids Surrounding Area Girls Service Club, in its second year at WHS, contin- ued to grow. The club increased it's membership by serving refreshments at each meeting. A birthday cake and a gift were given away at each meeting to the member who's birthday won at the drawing. The members were divided into three committees, High School, Elementary, and Community. For one project, the High School committee served refresh- ments at the Senior Play in the Fall. The Elementary committee, among other projects, helped supervise birthday parties at the Grade School. The members on this committee also helped tutor children at the Ele- mentary School. One activity of the Community com- mittee was to design tray favors for the Valley Vista Rest Home. 62 OPPOSITE LEFT: Girls Service Club officers try to plan interesting programs and new ideas for each club meet- ing.

FHA Welcomes Frosh with Ice Cream Social FHA completed many projects during the 1972-73 school year. A party to welcome the Freshmen was first in the line of activities. Other activities included the Pa, Ma and Me pot luck supper, holly sales, cookbook sales, Mother-Daughter dessert supper, State FHA meeting, District meeting, Mr. FHA contest, Old and New Officers Banquet, and executive board salad supper. One day during FHA week, each club member wore a rose the club flower. Also, they made flags decorated with FHA to put on cake served to the student body for lunch. The executive board selected junior boys as their contestants for the Mr. FHA contest held annually. The boys had to perform a number of domestic tasks. The best performance determined the winner. At the district meeting Joyce Soelter, senior, displayed a formal gown. She had made the formal in her Home Economics IV class. FHA purchased shoes and clothing as a Christmas gift for a student in the special education class at the Wa- mego Elementary School.

Commit- tee chairmen were Roxie Travis, Peggy Elder, Jennifer, Huntsman, Connie Nihart, Tara McDonald, Linda Hoobler, and Janice Farrell. 67 Linda and Mark Reign as 1973-74 Royalty Linda Haynes, Janet Snapp, Wanda Rowe, Mary Kem- nitz, and Linda Hoobler were selected to run in the FFA Sweetheart contest. The girls were chosen by the FFA. The girls took on a number of tasks. To start the con- test the girls had to hammer a nail into a piece of wood. Next they tried to rope a barrel. After roping a barrel the girls backed a small tractor with a wagon hitched on the back, through some saw horses. Last but not least the girls rolled a wheel barrow full of weights up a small plank then glided it back down the other side. When the contest was about over everyone had a chance to catch a pig. There were a lot of people chasing the pig, but when they found that he was cov- ered with manure, they slowed down.

Who else can freeze through an extra-long football game, jump up and down for two solid hours at a basketball game, and lose their voices at wrestling meets? Who else would wear clunky boots, turn their clothes inside out, put lipstick all over their faces, or hug a sweaty basketball player? Special pep club events were the annual Snake Dance in the fall, selling almost $600 worth of Christ- mas candles, having a wild and wooley Pep Club dance to Flint Hill Pride, and being the most dazzling spirit- seekers at WHS.

They scream and yell, laugh and cry, and swear they're going to kill the referee any minute. They rejoice at a touchdown, get mad at a technical foul, and wear their voices out at every game. And then after all that, they go to a dance and relax”. If there were qualifications for a pep club girl, they would be unfailing energy, loads of spirit, a good sense of humor, and most of all--caring about the boys in red and white at WHS.

RIGHT: Jeanne Clark presents Coach Erik Rasmussen with a present for the basketball team during an outdoor pep rally. Honor Pep started the year with big plans and big ideas to improve the pep club and create spirit. Unfortunate- ly, after being attacked with whip cream by senior W- Club members during the Football Homecoming pep rally, Honor members became bitter, believing that athletes and coaches did not appreciate their efforts. Although they felt like giving up and no longer support- ing WHS athletes, they stuck the year out. Some of Honor Pep's activities included decorating the boys' locker room, providing athletes with inumerable cookies and other refreshments, sponsoring a hairy legs contest, keeping the league standing board up to date during football and basketball season, entertaining stu- dents with several skits at pep rallies, painting hoops for home football games, changing the pep club bulle- tin board, and painting signs. 74 Skit Is Controversial Seniors, who had finished working on their homecoming float for the evening, were screaming their class yell outside the junior float headquarters, October 30. Shortly afterwards, the seniors were splattered with mud, small rocks, and eggs. Revenge and some pre- Halloween fun followed. Students were feeling especially elated on Homecoming day because it was November 2, the day before state teacher meeting vacation. The annual homecoming parade, with the addition of an FFA float Plow 'Em Under, preceded as usual until senior W-Club mem- bers asked Honor Pep and two Pep Club sponsors to help them with their skit. Hurt feelings arose when the help- ers were attacked with whip cream. A muddy football field prohibited the band from marching during halftime but they played from the band stand as Lois Doll-1973 Football Homecoming Queen and her attendants Jean Glynn, Wanda Schumacher, Jan Gant, and Paula Daylor left the field.

They display pep and enthusiasm, lead the pep club in supporting the various athletic departments, and they serve as representatives of WHS. WHS A-Team cheerleaders prepared for the 1972-73 school year by organizing an egg sale to raise money to attend cheerleading camp at Oklahoma State Univer- sity and to buy new uniforms. They also devoted time during the summer to practicing and preparing cheers. The new A-Team cheerleading outfits consisted of a red and white sweater and a red pleated wool skirt. During basketball season the A-Team cheerleaders pre- sented two pom-pom routines at the Abilene and Con- cordia home games. A-Team, B-Team, and Wrestling cheerleaders were elected in the spring of the 1972 school year by the student body. Freshmen cheerleaders were chosen in September by the Freshmen class. In September all cheerleaders learned new cheers and skits at a clinic held at Highland Park High. 76 OPPOSITE TOP: Vicki Miller, Julia Depew, Jennifer Clark, Candy Pip- er, and Dana Pageler-Head won two excellent, one outstanding, and one superior ratings for cheers they performed at a cheerleading camp held at Rock Springs Ranch in August.

The purposes of W-Club are to further and promote athletics in the school, to work with other organizations in promoting various school activities, to promote good fellowship, to foster sportsmanship, and to encourage the developement of a proper school spirit among all students of the school. W-Club was sponsored by Cross-Country and Track Coach John Harshbarger, Football, Assistant Wrestling, and Golf Coach Jim Lee, and by Basketball and Assis- tant Track Coach Erik Rasmussen. Main projects of W-Club this year were to re-paint the Welcome to Wamego signs along the highways lead- ing into town and to repair swings and other toy equip- ment in the city park.

A week earlier candidates had been selected by the basketball team. The girls busily spent the week preparing their homecoming out- fits. Students voted for homecom- ing queen during the school day of January 20. Between the 'B' and 'A' games, the candidates were escorted to the middle of the gymnasium by their fathers. Jan Gant was crowned queen by Danny Guth and presented with a dozen red roses. John Smith and Jeff Birk presented a rose and a bottle of cologne to the attendants.

The Spanish Club was a new club at WHS. Their big- gest project was planning a trip to Mexico during the summer. The club worked at various projects to raise money for the trip. Among these projects were a chili supper, garage and bake sales, working in school con- cession stands, and selling chocolate covered almonds. Besides traveling to Mexico, members of the club sang Spanish Christmas carols at Christmas time, and went out to eat a real Mexican meal at El Patio. One of the members said this eat-out was to prepare their stomachs for the food in Mexico. ABOVE: Russ Kelch, junior, bites into a hot taco at the Spanish eat-out at El Patio.

I met a lot of Seniors and bush- es . . . I'm going to be a little pig in a little puddle .. . I was scared to death ... Great, fantastic ... Help ... It's just another year of school ...

He is crazy, kooky, scared, bewildered, confused, and an upperclassman. A Junior works on first-place floats, acts in a great play, receives his class ring, and makes enough mon- ey to give the seniois a great prom. Most of all, Juniors are just a bunch of kids who have gone through all the good and bad times together, and are shocked to realize that only one more year remains before it all ends. One of the highlights for the Jun- iors during the year was football homecoming. The class of 74 took first place for the third time with their float entitled, Were Charged Up.

To some Seniors, it was one ceremony down and one to go. Many though, could not hold back their tears until graduation. It was hard to believe that this was the end of their last year at WHS. The Seniors met in the gym the eve of Baccalaureate. After much confusion, missing people, missing tassels, and stuck zippers, the 1973 graduating Seniors were ready to march in—the first step of graduation. Many proud parents could be seen taking pictures of their son or daughter. LEFT: Mrs. Bay helps Earl Peters get his cap on straight.

Long Tough Road Ahead for Grads Some of the 1973 graduating Sen- iors thought as soon as they got their diploma and checked to see if it was signed, HURRAY! I made it, I'm out for good! But to others, it was the last time many Seniors would see their fellow classmates for a long time. Many of the Class of 73 will be travel- ing far away to attend schools or to work. For those who were leav- ing, graduation will be a much cherished memory. Yes, the 1973 graduating class ha: a long road ahead of them, but they have come a long way since they first entered school as small children. The way will be tough at times but the 1973 Seniors are a group of young adults who will make it in fine shape. TOP AND BOTTOM: Members of the 1973 graduating class. 108 Graduation Holds Fond Memories for Many No one held back their tears graduation night. A few tears could be seen during graduation. But, after the Seniors met in the gym to turn in their cap and gowns, the tears flowed freely. Valedictorian Bob Owens, Salutatorian Brenda Brayton, and Class President Bruce Brazzle gave short talks at graduation. What these three said will always be re- membered by their fellow classmates for a long time. Especially remembered will be Bruce calling Mr. Harshbarger, Mrs. Harshbarger.
