In appreciation of our com- munity and its citizens, the yearbook staff has chosen “simple elegance” as its theme this year. This reflects the feeling that our citizens are good, wholesome, honest people. Wamego, Kansas, can be described as a town of “simple elegance.” Nestled along the bank of the Kansas River, the “Queen City of the Kaw” is home for nearly 3000 people. Wamego can boast of good schools for its children, beau- tiful churches, flourishing businesses, a low crime rate, fresh, unpolluted air, an at- tractive city park, and good clean living for its residents. Wamego’s “simple ele- gance” is reflected through the lifestyles and peaceful- ness of the community. Wa- mego is full of well-kept, beautiful homes that are in- teresting to see. Wamego’s city park ap- peals not only to students, but to everyone. Sportsmen can swim, play tennis, bas- ketball, or have a baseball game. The park provides education for historical buffs and birdwatchers. The stat- ues, the Dutch Mill, the band- stand, and the cannon make our park a scenic place to rest or relax. Wamego, the “simply ele- gant” community, has much to offer its citizens and visi- tors. Wamego is a perfect place to grow up, a beautiful place to live, and an interest- ing place to visit. The well-known “Old Hwy. 24 provides a scenic drive year-round. The Old Dutch Mill reconstructed piece by piece in 1924 has added beauty to our community and is a tourist attraction. Tonya Karnowsk, Teresa Mosely, and Junior Mosely, Wamego children, enjoy good clean fun.

Tremendous support from Wamego merchants during football homecoming resulted in fun and work for Jim Miller. Mike Crosson, Amy Holle, and other students who painted displays on windows. Special Bonds; Special People The Senior class of 1982 has en- dured the good times as well as the bad times. Whether it was our “or- ganized” class meetings of sharing the joys we felt at homecoming and prom, we have matured and made special bonds with special people. We must remember that we are the leaders of tomorrow and the ex- periences we have encouraged in our years together can aid us with the challenges we will face in the future. The band spent many mornings enduring harsh weather to practice so that performances would be special.

Remember those dreadful days when we were but lowly freshmen? It seemed no matter how hard we tried to hide the ' fact, everyone knew,'and they weren't about to let us forget that we were pla- gued with that terrible disease. We even resorted to not performing our class yell at assemblies and pep rallies in order to remain anonymous. It never failed that when we tried to make a good impression on an older, mature person, along came the opposition — a sneaky, low down sen- ior, who interrupted the enjoyment we were experiencing. A big step into adulthood came when we were sophomores and obtained our legal driver’s license. Suddenly, we ac- quired new friends with the “younger” children who wanted to take advantage of our new found freedom and ... our parent’s car. We were then promoted to the rank of junior and things began to look up. As juniors, we were finally allowed to de- clare ourselves human. It became our ul- timate goal to dish out the humility to the freshmen and sophomores that we had experienced as underclassmen. Proving the seniors weren’t the “hot stuff” they thought they were was also a major task that confronted us as juniors. Our junior year also brought such memorable events as preparing for the ever-impor- tant and noteworthy junior senior prom. College bound students also encountered the horrible, shocking three hour ACT test. With senior-hood, came apathy. It was no longer important to prove that we were 1. As seniors, we had a generally good feeling and knew we were the best and didn’t care if anybody else did. We felt we had reached the pot o’ gold at the end of the rainbow. In the meantime, a passion for the “good life” was upon us. However, we would soon be venturing from the shel- tered life of high school to the openness of a world who didn’t much care whether we made it or not. With diploma in hand, our previous twelve years of school will only be memories; but, memories we will not likely forget. Where else could we have met so many people and shared so much. Jeff Doll, Senior DISCOVERING Students and sometimes even teachers consid- er learning about as hard to swallow as cod liver oil. But despite such criticism, there is nothing that lends itself more freely to per- sonal achievement and enrichment than aca- demic discovery. There is little in our wide, wide world that can give a person the satisfaction one derives from accomplishing a “mental victory” in the class- room. This victory applies not only to the stu- dent but the teacher as well. The student’s victory can be likened to that of a big game hunter in wilds of Africa who has just acquired a new trophy for his den. The student stumbles and struggles through end- less jungles of facts and figures hoping to catch sight of and zero in on the final answer. The teacher acts as the fearless native guide who steers the hunter through the bush. The end of the hunt is equal to the end of a long day of attaining knowledge.

As usual, the FFA had a very successful year at contests and on other pro- jects. During the year the FFA teams received numerous hon- ors at all the contests. A stan- dout was the land judging team who earned the right to repre- sent Kansas in the national competition in May at Oklaho- ma City. FFA week was full of its usu- al excitement with the egg- throwing contest and the arm wrestling contest. The younger students of Wamego also en- joyed the Kiddy Barnyard. They also took part in the Crime Prevention Awards Pro- gram. The program is set up to assist FFA chapters in taking an active role in crime preven- tion. Community projects and the annual activities, such as the slave auction and bar-b-que, filled the FFA’s extra time be- tween contests. Jon Haynes and Jeff Mock help place and record serial numbers on some of the area farmers’ equipment for the Crime Prevention Program. Angie Colbert displays her ability to chop wood during the FFA Sweetheart contest. Annette Walsh was named Sweetheart.

Although some still hold true to that image, the term cowboy now, for the most part, refers to the Rodeo cowboy. The Rodeo cowboy earns his pay by being the best at his event, which could range from bull riding to barrel racing. It is this breed of cowboy that makes up the Rodeo Club. Although the Rodeo Club got off to a slow start this year, business picked up as the year progressed. The club voted ear- ly in the year to purchase buck- les bearing the club logo for de- serving members. In Novem- ber, the club went to the American Royal in Kansas City where they met many distin- guished professional Rodeo cowboys. Later in the year the club voted to help the Wamego Sad- dle Club with jackpot ropings for a percentage of the pots. The club voted to use the mon- ey to purchase a bucking mach- ing to stimulate interest in ro- deo, in the club and school. V The Rodeo Club consists of: Row 1; (L to R) — Ray Crawford.

This gave WHS girls their first chance in many years to become Y-Teens. The newly formed group started their year by inviting Jan Schaible, the enthusiastic Kansas YWCA direc- tor, to their first meeting. After she generated her Y-Teen spirit, the girls were ready to tackle a busy year. In the area of service, Y-Teens adopted needy families at Christ- mas, made tray favors for the hospi- tal, and sold carnations and sham- rocks for charity. Other activities in- cluded: selling Henco tree orna- ments, having heart sisters at Val- entines week, sponsoring a fashion show by Mode O’ Day, having a Christmas gift exchange, sending delegates to summer camp, and holding monthly board meetings and regular meetings.

'----------------------------- New Entertainment Adds Variety I Students were introduced to two new forms of entertain- ment due to negotiations by Student Council President Dane Ditto with the school ad- ministration. To add spirit to the festivities of the fall Homecoming week, a “powder-puff” football game was organized to match the athletic abilities of WHS girls. “I feel the “powder-puff” game was a great success and it is my wish that it become an annual occurrence at WHS,” commented President Dane Ditto. Delight was also found in the new student lounge. The lounge offered a place for relax- ation before and after school and during lunch hour. The main attraction in the lounge was a juke box which added en- joyment and atmosphere to the student’s private area. These new forms of enter- tainment instituted by Student Council added variety to the traditional activities of Wa- mego High students. 50 Seniors Pat Daylor, Jon Brummett, and Archie Johnston relax during lunch hour in the student lounge while listening to the new juke box.

NHS Inducts 11; Honors Holmes Eleven new members were elected to the National Honor Society, an organization devel- oped to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate de- sire to render service, to pro- mote leadership, and to develop character in high school stu- dents of America. A formal induction was held on May 4 with parents, rela- tives, and friends in atten- dance. The annual candle light- ing ceremony included the an- nouncement of the 1982 honor- ary member, Mr. Ron Holmes. As a coach and administrator in the 320 school district for the past 15 years, Mr. Holmes has guided students to a better edu- cation. A reception followed the induction ceremony. As a service to the students, those designated to the honor roll were recognized by the members of National Honor So- ciety with signs posted on their lockers. Members of the National Honor Society are entrusted with a life-time membership to the organization with hopes that they will pass character, scholarship, leadership, and service to others.

This year along with the traditional events sponsored by the Spirit Club, several newer events were added. The WHS Spirit Club contin- ued to decorate the halls, lock- ers and hoop; bake “goodies” for the Senior athletes, and many other activities. Sign making parties were added to the agenda to assure a steady supply of hall posters throughout the year. During football season, sev- eral cheerleaders and Spirit Club members “kidnapped” the football team. The bus driver was instructed to stop at a certain spot outside town where the team was given cookies and the cheerleaders performed several chants and cheers in hopes of boosting the boys’ spirit.

After we make it through the tryouts and spend a lot of money for a uniform, we im- mediately start practicing for summer camp, which of course costs more money. Camp is an experience we’ll never forget; like being pep- py at 6:30 in the morning! One has to be there to under- stand and experience the uniqueness of camp — per- haps this is also true of being a cheerleader. Finally, school begins and so does the work: practicing, pep rallies, decorating, cheering, and trying to raise spirit aren’t the only things a cheerleader gains from this experience; we get into the events free.

FHA Members Participate At All Levels FHA members began their year by paying their $3.00 dues. After that, the fun and personal growth began. Members became involved in chapter activities by selling cookbooks, going on the Kansas City field trip, by participating in the Northview service project, and attending the chapter banquet. They also were involved in dis- trict activities like attending the Fall Conference and participating in District Elections. State Conven- tion and Leadership Camp were at- tended at the state level. At the na- tional level, members became in- volved by participating in FHA- HERO Week activities. By participating at all levels of FHA, members grow to become America’s homemakers of the fu- ture.

To the newcomers of W-Club, this word, initiation, meant a lot more. It meant suffering through fear, frustration, and embarrassment for nearly two hours during the intimidating process. Each year the secret ritual of admitting athletes who have recently lettered takes place and is certainly an event not forgotten, although many would like to do just that. The thought of those victimized by the pranks of the seniors was “Is all this worth it?” Once it was over though, the remorse was gone. W-Club sponsored other ac- tivities such as Basketball Homecoming and a faculty vs. seniors basketball game. They also sold Raider stocking caps to raise money. Through these events it was W-Club’s goal to promote spirit and pride at WHS. With the help of these two hardworking members, Darryl Lovelace and Greg Eckart, W-Club sold stocking caps during basketball games. Nancy Manly puts up a sign promoting Basketball Homecoming which W-Club sponsors each year. To break the monotony of a long day of school, W-Club members attempted building a pyramid which proved disasterous in the end. 61 f Drill Team Tries Unique Approach L Now in its fifth year of per- forming, the drill team’s growth could easily be com- pared to the growth of a child. From the day they are born, children will take advantage of any opportunity that presents itself, to perform. Likewise, each member of the drill team enjoys being part of the attrac- tion during halftimes. During their first years, chil- dren are constantly on the look- out for something new and ex- citing. Upon discovering the previously unseen or unheard, a child will not hesitate to try it on for size. When learning new information, children are often unsure and sometimes clumsy. But with time, and practice, all things can be conquered. The drill team is also, contin- ually looking for ways to im- prove their routines and never falter before trying something unique. Often the newness can cause error, but they never give up and only practice makes perfect. 62 Co-captains for the 1981-82 Raiderettes were senior Joan Ledeboer and junior Dawn DeBord. Freshman Rhonda Roscovius smiles during the drill team's routine to “I Love A Rainy Night. Joan Ledebocr executes a halftime performance of the Fight Song at a home basketball game.

Athletics Strengthen Individual Character In recent years, more and more peo- ple have begun to criticize sports as a scholastic activity. These people argue that athletics encourage academic ig- norance. But, these people fail to realize that one’s education is not only an academic process but a social process as well. When one chooses to involve himself in a sport, he makes a commitment to himself and a team. As a result of this commitment, one learns that the qual- ity and quantity of all success depend upon the effort put forth, and that the greatest of triumphs usually occurs when several people merge their ener- gies in the hope of obtaining a common goal. But, perhaps the most important dis- coveries are those one makes about himself. Through athletics, one can ac- quire an awareness of the body that allows him to turn mere concepts of the mind into actual feat. All it takes is strong concentration and perserver- ence. Considering that one’s education should help him to function in society as an individual and a part of society as a whole, sports serve their educational purpose well.

But that is where the similarity ends. Unlike any other sports, you can make those horses. You don 'I need big kids, like football or fast kids, like track. All you need are youngsters who will believe in your system and give 100 percent everyday. Coach Harshbarger Family Affair The words Cross Country produce an image of a lone runner making his way over a desolate course. Generally speaking this image might be correct, but the seven members on the Wa- mego High School Girls’ Cross Country team have added a deeper dimension to the picture. These girls run not just as indivi- duals, but as a team. In a sport like Cross Country where every step is harder than the one before and every breath seems like the last, team sup- port can be deciding factor. The close knit atmosphere makes it easier when one must perform as an individual. Says one member, “We’re like a family and that’s fun, but still when I run, I’m an individual too, so if I lose, I know it’s my fault.” Also adding to the success of the team is the support of Coach Harsh- barger. In the Wamego Cross Country History Book, he wrote nine rules that apply to his program. Some of them are: They must run through hurt, pain, and agony; They must always aim for the top; They must never give up; They must run for tradition because it has meaning. It is signed John D.

Invitational Ranks Most Prestigous This fall season marked the Silver Anniversary of the Boys’ Cross Country meet at Wa- mego. The season began Sep- tember 12, with the Wamego Invitational. This meet is rec- ognized as the largest and most prestigious in the state,” said Coach John Harshbarger. At this meet, the boys origin- ally took third, but had to settle for fourth, due to a tie breaker. Chris Barnes, senior, showed genuine sportsmanship that day, for he was running with a bad ankle, and still faired sev- enth place. Regionals were held at Sea- man. The boys placed third, which qualified them for State. The State meet was held at Wamego. The boys ended the season with a sixth place finish. “I told them to run intelligently the first mile; with a half-mile to go, to run on guts; and with a quarter-mile left, to run out of their head; I feel that’s just what they did,” said Harsh- barger. This was Spike’s last year coaching Cross Country. He be- gan at Wamego in 1968. He has led many runners to the top 10 board, and many have qualified for State. One big thrill for him this year was doing well with only two senior runners and five freshmen. In upcoming years, he hopes to help manage the Wamego Invitational and the State Cross Country Meet. 68 We set a goal to be in the top seven in the state. We took sixth and we were only two points away from fifth place. said Harshbarger. It was a fantastic year for such a young team. I don't think there's any team in the state that could match us, with freshman it's just unheard of.

Whether it was winning league and not going to playoffs or not making the key plays when we should have, we all felt the joys as well as the sorrows. The season started with a 7-0 win over Belleville and then for the next four games it was one victory after another. Our jubi- lation was soon over as the Per- ry-Lecompton Kaws defeated us 24-0. It was a big disappoint, but Perry was so good that they were ranked in the top five in the state. The next and last three games of the season were the most crucial. These decided who went to playoffs. Unfortu- nately, we lost to Concordia in a game that came down to the last second in deciding the win- ner. After beating Marysville, the most decisive game of the season was at hand. Beating Clay Center would only be half the battle. Concordia would have to lose in order for the Raiders to be “state bound”. We won our game; however, so did Concordia. The Raiders were league champs and really good enough to have gone to state, even though we didn’t. 70 Coach Dale Doll, assistant coach, was also defensive coordinator for the varsity and head coach for the J- V team. Dave Hartwich was assistant coach for the varsity team and also worked with the younger kids on the junior- varsity squad. i v ' Victory was something the Raiders fortunately experienced often. Darryl Lovelace expresses his feelings after a winning game. Jack Ryser assisted the coaching staff this year by taking on the job as offensive line coordinator.

Reality Hits Sr. Competitors When looking back on the previous years of athletic competition, one thinks of long, hard hours of practice and that ever-familiar strug- gle for the not-always-pre- sent victory. It seemed like the practices never ended and the pain never stopped. To many of us, the end of the season couldn’t come too soon. Now that we are sen- iors, reality suddenly strikes as we realize this is our last year for competition. The practices seem shorter and we don’t feel the pain as much. We want the season to go on and on and we wish we could rerun some of our races and redo some of our matches. Through the years we have learned to work as a team and to put forth that ex- tra effort it takes to win. Basketball: Brenda Spence — 4. Kellie Eckart — 2. Sheryl Carnahan — 4.

Serving is one of the most important skills of tennis to master. Terri Morris attempts to position her serve as Terri Crilly watches with anticipation to see where the ball goes. Any team faces changes at the beginning of the season, but in addition to that, this — year’s girls’ tennis team had a lot of hardwork and frus- tration ahead of them. This was a year of rebuild- ing for the team with only two experienced seniors to provide the leadership for the rest. Graduation took four seniors from the year before and left many posi- tions open. Sheryl Carnahan and Jan- nis Mattson, seniors, led the varsity team by placing in the top four at every regular season meet. They then took first at regionals which __ earned them the honor of playing at the state meet. Unfortunately they lost the first round. The varsity team did well this year by placing in the top five at all the meets they attended. Everyone, except freshmen, was allowed to play in at least one varsity meet. This gave Mr. Holmes a look at what the future may hold. Since the team as a whole was young, much time was spent looking to next year. A big surprise to the team this year was the improve- ment of the freshmen girls. Julie Spohn, Terri Crilly, and Terri Morris played well and should be ready to make big advancements next year. The Junior varsity squad had the ever-present pres- sure of trying to make the varsity team. But when the meets came, that was forgot- ten and winning became their first priority. Winning didn’t come as often as they wanted, but then, what does? 77 According to coach Ron Holmes, “The team's progressed since the first of the season, but we are still making mistakes in our play which is to be expected with a young team. Jannis Mattson and Sheryl Carnahan, seniors, and No. 1 doubles players took first at the regional meet, then went on to represent their district in the state meet. Although this was senior Kathy Kimmal’s first year of tennis, she played well enough to earn her the spot as No. 1 singles player for the varsity.

Her state- ment was almost realized. The season started out well. Even though we lost our opening game, we beat three teams the next weekend to receive third place at the Rossville Tournament. We also won our next two games. However, the next week WHS lost to Concordia and Abilene, where we were also subject to some cruel verbal abuse. At the Council Grove Tournament, Wamego Showing what volleyball is all about, Nancy Routh jumps to dink the ball over the net. The Panthers went on to give Wamego their first league loss. Volleyball is a mental game. You have to know it mentally; before you can play it physically. Coach Vickie Enyart won two and lost three. Brenda Spence was named to the All-Tournament team and Kelly Carlson received honorable mention. The team had started the year with ten varsity play- ers, but by this time there were only seven. Two quit the team and one played mostly junior varsity. Then at the Perry-Lecompton tri- angular meet not only did we lose both matches, but Nan- cy Routh was injured and out for the rest of the season. We also lost our last two league games. By this time there was lit- tle hope of going to state. However, the highlight of the year came when we de- feated Abilene in the first round of the Sub-State Tour- nament. We then went on to beat Chapman. The loss to Salina Sacred Heart in final competition and receiving second place wasn’t near as heartbreaking; for we went a lot farther than many thought we would and we all gained some personal satis- faction. The girls’ 1981 volleyball season ended with a record of 9-13; we received fifth in the league, and second at Sub-State. The B team didn’t fair as well, for they ended with a record of 0-8. The C team evened out their season with a record of 3-3. The varsity team consists of: Row 1; L to R — Debbie Zinn and Marjean Garrett: Row 2; L to R — Nancy Routh.

You could feel the tension in the crowd as the Clay Center Tigers came down the court with the ball. I turned to a friend, “We just have to win this ballgame!” Be- fore the words were out of my mouth, Clay Center scored to pull within one. I could feel the grip of victory loosen as our lead decreased. No sooner had we thrown the ball in, than we lost it and the Tigers shot to go ahead by one. Now there were nine seconds left for us to make our final bid toward success. As the clock ran down, so did our chances of winning. The buzzer sounded and the score was flashing in front of my eyes, 43- 44. I thought to myself, “How could we be so stupid to lose a three point lead? How could we play so bad?” Then it hit me. These guys don’t play their heart out to win for us, they play for themselves and the self-satisfaction that comes with being the conquer- or and not the conquered. Their hustling and fighting for the ball isn’t done to hear the cheer of the crowd when the game is finished. When they lose, they feel it in a much worse wa than the crowd. They’re angry because they have failed, not the fans, but themselves. It isn’t our place to expect a wiri everytime. After all, we’re onlj the fans.

As I approached the gym there was a feeling of excitement running through my veins. I entered the gym to see the Belleville Buffs had already arrived and were taking over our school. Cautiously advancing to the locker room I changed into good-ole’ number 14. When pre- pared to show myself to the world, I grabbed a basketball and commenced practicing jump shots to make me look and feel important. After ten minutes elapsed we Raiderettes showed off by doing our warm-up drills. When a few min- utes were left on the clock, we enthusiastically ran to the locker room for words of encourage- ment and a short, but meaningful prayer. Clapping with excitement, the varsity players crashed through the hoop to be greeted by a crowd of cheering fans. The starting five were announced; the rest of the team joined them for one last chat and a loud cheer, “let’s go!” The game began slowly and the minutes ticked away. At half-time the Raiderettes were behind 13-18. After quick instructions and a drink of water, the team was ready for action. Second Half = Victory The second half proved to be very exciting. The game progressed as if it were a circus. Steals, jump balls, and fouls kept the girls on the floor and the fans on their feet. The last few minutes of the game were the most crucial. In the last seconds, Gina Grannell became a hero by making the two points that put the Raiderettes at a 36-34 win over the Buffs, our first win of the season. Fans and team members crowded on the court to congratulate ecstatic players. The locker room was filled with happy girls who distributed hugs and words of praise. “It doesn’t matter if you win or lose, it’s how you play the game, so they say but, when you win — it’s the most fan- tastic feeling anyone could ever have.

If you're not going to do you're best, why bother. Jim Brown Brad Weilert holds Peter Jackson in a cradle at Chapman. Weilert won the dual by superior decision. Wrestling Requires A Total Commitment 88 Although wrestling seems to be one of the more conspicuous high school spectator sports, the determination and effort put forth by the athletes and enthusiasm of the spectators who are involved is anything but conspicuous. Wrestling, like many sports is a battle of wills. While the strength of commitment in oth- er sports results in taking that extra step or making the final shot, the strength of will in wrestling means being able to summon all of one’s strength, ability, and skill for three, two minute periods and come out on top. The course through which the above are acquired is not an easy one. Wrestlers must con- tinually adhere to a strict diet, am ometimes oj h ak f qualifying, must refuse food al- together. Each and every after- noon wrestlers go through in- tense sessions of stretching and grappling in hopes of perfect- ing their skills. And in the end, only those who give all they have and more, attain victory. Perhaps because wrestling doesn’t usually attract large crowds, the support given by those who do attend has special meaning. What wrestling view- ers lack in numbers, they more than make up for in velocity. The most important element of the spectator group is the par- ents, many of whom travel for miles to the various meets. One can be sure that win or lose, there is always a parent to offer a congratulatory or consola- tory hug. The wrestling team consists of: Row 1: (L to R) — Rod Pitney, Brian Weilert. Brad Weilert. Dennis Wilson. Todd Jones. Bryan Spence: Row 2: (L to R) — Darryl Lovelace, Shane Manor, Eddie Ross. Danny Manly, Tim Bennett, Roger Ward. Coach Jim Brown reinforces the confidence of senior Greg EZckart, with a quick encouraging pep talk. Coach Brown has been wrestling coach for two years.

There, eight wrestlers qualified for Sub-State. They were: Bryan Spence, Dennis Wilson, Brad Weilert, Brian Wei- lert, Tim Bennett, John Etienne, John Colson, and Greg Eckart. At Sub-State the eight wrestlers placed third as a team; and individually six qualified for State. They were: Brad Weilert, Brian Weilert, Dennis Wilson, Bryan Spence, John Etienne, and John Colson. At State, Brad Weilert placed first at 119 lbs. and the team placed 11th. Brad, a senior, is the second wrestler in the history of WHS to bring home a state title. This is the third year Brad qualified for State. In order to qualify for sub- state or state, a wrestler must finish in one of the top four positions in his weight class. Last year he was undoubtedly the con- tender, but at the last minute reversed decision changed his first place title to second place. This year Brad, injuring his ankle in the last few minutes of his semi- final match, was unfortunate again. After the semi- final match. Brad could hardly walk. His injury eliminated the use of the single-sweep take down, a maneuver he used to accomplish most of his 26 victo- ries this year. “He won the final on guts!” stated Coach Brown. Brad won the final match 5-4. 90_____________________________ President Larry Eckarl feels that If you are going to have any success with high school sports, you have to have the parents involved. ” Booster Club The “Supporters” Booster Club, organized to sup- port the athletes of Wamego Ju- nior High and High School, has played a big part in building spirit this year. Not only does the Boost- er Club attend home and away games, but they also pay for the filming of these events so the stu- dent athletes may learn by. The Booster Club, with the help of the ’81 Senior Class, also pro- vided banners for the new gym. The banners are of the seven schools in our league. The Booster Club also estab- lished the Scholar Athlete award. The award is given to any athlete, grade 9-12, who meets the criteria established by the Booster Club and School Administration. Donations help to support the high school athletes, and here Jim DeBord receives donations at a home basketball game.

Due to the lack of participants, Coach Patton states that Wamego’s team success is re- stricted but individually the athlete’s came home winners. The team is strongest in distance running with Chris Barnes and Dan Winsor leading the way for Swan Stewart and Paul Bearnan, Freshman Sprinters for WHS include Tom Burgess, Tim Tauer, Darren Pauly, and Roger Ward. Tom also competed in the long jump. Remaining tracksters Cam Vincent, Kelly Lindenmuth, Ward Brethour, Frank Seufert, and Shawn Morris contend in mid- dle distance running and field events. With the addition of a new coach and new ideas, came the biggest challenge of organizing the league meet, which was held May 7th. The meet was alot of work, but with everyone’s cooperation it ran smoothly. Even though the majority of the team was young and many changes have been made, the potential is great and success is predicted in the future. Chris Barnes was slateward bound after qualifying in the 1600 meter and the 800 meter run. Chris set the WHS record for the 1600 meter run with the time of 4.24.5. Freshman, Shawn Stewart relaxes as he watches his teammates compete. 93 Girls Track Small Number Fairs Well The girls track team faced the problem that coaches have dealt with for a long time: lack of participation. This year’s team consisted of 11 tracksters. Having few members made it hard for the girls to place well at meets. According to Coach Enyart, considering the number of girls out, she thought the team did very well. The new track was finally made avail- able to the tracksters for practice and for holding meets. Wamego hosted the NCKL meet for the first time in several years due to lake of facilities. The team didn’t place well at the league meet but according to Coach Patton, “Most every- one brought their times down.” Also new to the girls this year was Vicki Enyart Having the will to succeed is more than having talent. It's having complete dedication for the sport and team, and then having the courage to stick it out. Coach Vicki Enyart and Rick Patton as head coaches. Even though the team didn’t place well, many individuals did. Debbie Zinn received 14 first places and broke two records. Brenda Spence also received 10 first. At regionals the girls placed fifth, but four girls: seniors Zinn and Spence, sophomore Joanne Cook, and freshman Stephanie Mertz became eligible for state. Zinn qualified in all of the four events she entered. This was a year for individual achieve- ment, not team. But Coach Enyart states, as a team, “we reached the goals we set and that is most important.” STATE RESULTS: 880 relay- third. SCOREBOARD Chapman seventh Ottawa fifth Hiawatha fourth Jeff. Co.

Johnston and Ditto played no. 2 doubles for the team and were defeated after the first round of play at state, finishing the sea- son with a record of 16-4. Until the ’82 season, Johnston had been a singles player, but was switched to doubles because of the need for another doubles player. This was Coach Ron Holmes last year at WHS. But as the record indicates, his reasons for leaving do not include failure. This year marks the second year in a row that the no. 1 dou- bles team has won the state championship. His players have attended the state tourna- ment every year since 1970. Mr. Holmes’ unique style of coaching and producing confi- dent players earned Coach Homes the Coach of the Year Award in ’80-’81, as well as playing a significant part in the team’s success. Holmes be- lieves that nothing can be gained without confidence and his players will be the first to admit that without Coach Holmes straight forward man- ner and support, they would feel somewhat lost.

State Champions It has been said that familiarity breeds contempt, but in the case of WHS no. 1 doubles team, it brought success. After playing tennis for 12 years, Dan Holmes and Pat Daylor reached the top in high school tennis by winning the 4A Boys Tennis Championship in doubles competition. Pat and Dan competed in 10 meets this year, taking first at six of them. By participating at these meets, they compiled a record of 30-4. They qualified for state by placing second at regionals, losing only to Chapman. At state, however, they didn’t lose a set, winning the first three matches easily, and finding trouble only in the last. Winning first place didn’t come as too much of a surprise to the duo. For Dan it was the second time in the winners circle and Pat, who had never won in a state competition before stated, “I thought if we played good, we could win it.” Coach Holmes, who has coached both of them since they were young stated, “I felt I brought them along too fast at the beginning of the year. They peaked early and then leveled out. Fortunately they were able to come back and win.” 98 ♦ f SCOREBOARD Junior-Varsity Baldwin fifth Wamego third Abilene third Chapman fifth Fresh-Soph Wamego third The most successful boys duo of the '82 season consisted of Pat Daylor and Dan Holmes whose record was 30-4.

Golf; Par 2 Golf is a sport with a unique vocabulary; un- like baseball, where you supply hit and run, golfers use terms such as par, birdie, bogey, div- ot, and eagle — just to name a few. The game of golf is played by trying to make as low a score as possible, and one must not interfere with his op- ponent’s play. The 1982 golf team withstood 15-25 mile per hour winds, plus cold and rainy weather when comleting several meets. On May 14 Wamego hosted the NCKL golf tournament. We placed second out of seven schools, defeating Abilene by one stroke. Coach Michael O’Leary said “They young men knew they could take second and they went out and did it.” O’Leary also states that there was no better way to finish the season — unless it had been in first place. O’Leary stated that all in all it was an “up and down” season, but the later part proved most successful.

You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown Activities High school years are often described as the most fun-filled years of one’s life. As a student enters high school, he gains a sense of more independence. New things such as dating and driving become important. The student’s interests begin to focus more on the social aspects of school. A contributing factor to this is the many various activities offered through the school. Activities like homecomings, proms, band, and choir, just to name a few, play an important role in a student’s over-all development. Not only are they a fun way to relax and enjoy oneself, they also teach important lessons. Here at Wa- mego High are offered many types of ac- tivities. No matter what one’s interests are, one will be able to find something that entertains and in time, teaches a valuable lesson. While students come and go from WHS, tradi- tions live on. Each year during the week of the first football game the traditional Snake Dance is held. The students assemble in the high school parking lot for a parade, which consists of the marching band, and the cheer- leaders — who all join hands and wriggle their way down main street try- ing to imitate a snake. Next comes the energetic spirit club and anxious football players; last, the star of the parade, the dummy. This year we regained the privilege of a bonfire; therefore, the parade end- ed at the ball park, where the pep rally began with a “bang”, (thanks to some firecrackers) and an en- thusiastic cheer. The coaches delivered encour- aging pep talks, the cheer- leaders performed the crowd-pleasing cheer, “two-bits”, and the band played the ever-popular “Fight Song”. As students and adults gazed into the yellow-or- ange flames of the fire, they remembered games of the past and dreamed of games yet to come. ____Fire Adds Sparks To Tradition 104 An enthusiastic freshman.

Pictured here Debbie Zinn runs for a touchdown, while Cynthia Clark and Heather Hostettler are hot on her trail. Keeping in perfect step, reading music notes, and playing an instrument all at the same time takes practice and concentration. Senior band member Kellie Eckarl shows how it's done. Homecoming 1981 is being described as one of the biggest and best homecomings WHS has seen in a long time. One of the reasons for the success of this year’s festivities was the tremendous enthusiasm and support the com- munity contributed. The activities began at 1:00 p.m.; as school was dismissed for a new added attraction — a powder puff football game. Traditional roles were reversed as the girls played the football and the boys posed as the cheerleaders. Following the game came the parade down Lincoln. There were ten floats in all. Seven from merchants and organizations and three from students. The WHS and St. Marys bands performed as they marched down to the cor- ner of Fifth and Lincoln where the pep rally was held. Spirit and anticipation filled the air through- out the entire day but the best was yet to come as Wamego defeated Jefferson West 27-8. Halftime activities brought a performance by the band and the crowning of the homecoming queen. Kathy Kimmal. The festivities were topped off with the an- nual post-game dance. The music was pro- vided by a country western band. Country Joy. The 1981 homecoming will be long remem- bered. not only by the students of WHS but also by the entire community, as being one of the most enjoyable and fun-filled celebrations yet. 106 Spiril and support was gi ven to the team throughout the season from the students and community. Such spirit and determination shows here on Coach Browns face. Rodeo Club added to the parade with horses and riders. Jeff Mock, president of Rodeo Club, demonstrates his ability to clown around in the homecoming parade. Comedy and chaos was added to the powder puff game as the cheerleaders (alias the football players) showed off one of their gymnastic abilities — pyramid building. HOMECOMING ROYALTY At approximately 8:00 p.m. all the home- coming queen candidates and their fathers assembled on the football field in front of a restless crowd all anxious to find out who would be the new 1981 homecoming queen. Their anxiety was soon relieved as it was announced that Kathy Kimmal had been chosen as the 1981 homecoming queen. Being selected for candidacy is an honor in itself, as all five girls found out. The old saying that there are no losers only winners holds true to this year’s candidates. Smiles and even some joyful tears showed on the girl’s faces that night, as they all were just glad to have been a part of the whole occasion and celebration.

Highlights of the marching season were the band’s performances at Kansas State University's Band Day, marching band concert, and several presentations during half-time of home football games. After successfully completing a mon- ey-making project by distributing live Christmas cards, the band entertained the community with a Christmas concert. The concert, combined with the choirs, offered traditional holiday music. Due of interference with students in- volved in basketball, the pep band lacked members and it was sometimes neces- sary to cancel performances at home games. But when a sufficient number of members were available, the pep band filled the new gym with inspiring tunes. Spring offered the opportunity to per- form at World’s of Fun’s Festival of Bands and the state contests at KSU.

Trying To Build Up Music Department Takes Time The reputation of choir in the past few years hasn’t been very good. This is one thing that Mrs. Suzan Tarwater wanted to change in her first year of teaching at Wamego. By losing choir directors every year, it’s hard to build up a good mu- sic department. However, Mrs. Tar- water started immediately by di- recting a musical, something that hasn’t been done in the music de- partment for many years. During the year, the choir pre- sented its usual concerts in the com- munity and school; however, these performances consisted of new ideas and accomplished more. Maybe the choir is on its way up.

For those involved, the ’81-’82 debate season will be remembered as one of growth and many frustra- tions. ■ -- The team began the season aware that they were charged with the responsibility of maintaining the standards set by the previous year’s state champi- ons. Although the group was, for the most part, inexperienced, they accepted the challenge opti- mistically. This year’s resolution, which dealt with educa- tion, proved to be a trojan horse. At first glance it seemed to be a topic suited specifically for the needs of a debate resolution; it was one with a multitude of problems and successes. But for all the problems in eduction, affirmatives had a hard time justifying the Federal Government’s need to solve them. The team did, however, manage to find a justifi- able need in the lack of creativity promotion in the schools. In the weeks prior to the regional competi- tion, the debaters who were to represent Wamego worked many long hours finding and perfecting evidence to support the case. Unfortunately, the hard work and optimism end- ed in disappointment when Wamego placed a close third in regional competition, barring them from advancing to state. The debaters ended the season with a firm deter- mination to learn from their mistakes and make themselves heard in the '82-’83 season. Beth Peterson and Jean Niedfcidl discuss their response to the negative attacks at Regionals. Cam Vincent helps Dana Peterson get ahead of the crowd during a basketball halftime. Dane Ditto listens carefully as Priscilla Roth points out flaws in a teacher competency case. The Debate team consists of: Bow 1: (L to R) — Ronnie Doll. Beth Peterson. Mark Kapfer. Linda Mock.

Dane Ditto. Jon Mertz. Cam Vincent. Being a successful debater takes an extreme amount of dedication. This quality comes in handy during the long hours that must be spent researching and filing information pertaining to the resolution. One can be certain that a debater can never truthfully say that he has nothing to do. Linda Mock participates in one of the darker sides of the regionals competition — timekeeping. Forensics Adds Variety One of the first problems a new member of the Forensic squad encounters is explaining to those not involved exactly what Forensics is. For those still wondering, it is not, at least in educational terms, the art of performing autopsies. Those students who are speech inclined are of- fered a chance to test their oratorical and dramatic skills in a competitive atmosphere. Several squad members proved to be tough com- petition at various tournaments throughout the season. Angela Bevitt, Dane Ditto, Jean Neid- feldt, and Jon Mertz placed high enough to com- pete at state. The team also fared well in events sponsored by the Flint Hills division of the Nation- al Forensic League. Dane Ditto and Jon Mertz placed eighth and sixth respectively at the NFL tournament. Perhaps the year’s biggest honor was received at the Flint Hills student congress. Each year the division members of the NFL choose a bill or reso- lution to enter for floor debate at the National com- petition, and this year’s selection was a bill pertain- ing to the elimination of the insanity plea, that was writted by coach Mark Kapfer. The success of the legislation and team illustrate the contribution Mark Kapfer has made to the speech department. This is to be Mr. Kapfers last year at Wamego, but his work will be appreciated for some time.

The yearbook and newspaper staff became very familiar with these terms as the year pro- gressed. The Wa-Kaw, under the supervision of Judy Rush, and the Wa-Kaller, under the guidance of Barbara Fanshier, faced many changes this year; one of which was in experience. Last year’s graduation took many of the previously exper- ienced members of both staffs. This lack of exper- ience, however, did not affect the quality of either product. The new staff members learned quickly and soon had their creative talents geared and ready to go. The yearbook staff faced a particularly difficult challenge which was to top last year’s award-winning book. Staff members worked long and hard to maintain the yearbook reputation. Newspaper staff worked equally hard to produce the paper. Many people were quoted as saying this year’s paper was the best ever produced. Stories ranging from dating to video games caught the in- terest of many students during the year. This year’s publications will be remembered for their professional quality and unique views of life in a small town and school days at Wamego High. 121 Adam, Eve Me Adam said, “... we must learn to conquer things that di- vide ... like time ...” and Eve said, “and death.” Fortunately, the casts of The Diary of Adam and Eve and Louder, I Can’t Hear You had no deaths to contend with, but the aspect of time did prove a formibable foe. Nightly practices began only three weeks before the per- formance on May 1st. Although practices were originally slated for every other night according to play, the schedule was soon abandoned as the members realized more time would be needed. The Diary of Adam and Eve is an adaptation from Mark Twain’s “Letters From the Earth”, and covers the often troublesome but always amusing roamings of Adam and Eve. Louder, I Can’t Hear You was written by Bill Gleason, who by taking us into the home of a confused and ignored house- wife make his statement about society’s “me” attitude. 22 The cast of Adam and Eve included: (L to R) — Jon Merlz, Linda Mock, and Lori Linton. The cast of Louder, I Can’t Hear You included: Row 1: (L to R) — Dennis Wilson, Toby Heinekin and Dawn DeBord. Row 2: (L to R) — Linda Mock. Priscilla Roth, and Angela Bevitt. Adam stares in disbelief at Eve explains naming. Lori Linton finds the part of Eve to be potentially embarrissing. Angela Bevitt watches each cast members practice their scenes.

Regal Festivities Saturday. December 19. 1981, was a cold night, but that didn’t stop enthusiastic stu- dents, alumni, and community Red Raider fans from gathering to celebrate the first Win- ter Homecoming to be held in the new gymna- sium. The evening started with the traditional basketball games. The girls’ and boys’ varsity teams both reigned victorious over the Buffa- los of Belleville. Dane Ditto and Kelly Carlson were crowned king and queen during the half- time ceremony of the boys’ game. Their atten- dants were: Amy Holle, Kellie Eckart, Jannis Mattson, Brenda Spence, Chris Barnes, Tom Burgess, Dan Holmes, and Greg Eckart. The regal festivities ended with the annual Homecoming Dance.

Record Attendance At Athletic Banque The Basketball Volleyball Athletic Ban- quet was held Tuesday, April 6, 1982. A re- cord crowd of both male and female ath- letes and their families turned out for the first athletic banquet to be held in the new junior high commons area. Spirit and enthu- siasm for the past seasons were abundant that night, but unfortunately, the delicious food was not in great supply. The program started with Miss Vicki En- yart, volleyball coach, recapping her team’s successful season. She gave awards and let- ters to her outstanding team members. She also announced that in addition to coaching volleyball, she will also become girls bas- ketball coach for the 1982-83 season. Mike O’Leary, girls basketball coach, stated that this was his final year of coach- ing that team. He explained that he enjoyed working with the girls during these past few years. Dale Doll and Rick Patton, boys basketball coaches gave highlights of their team’s season. They and Coach O'Leary also awarded letters to their team members. Following the program and clean-up du- ties, the 1982 Athletic Banquet became an- other part of WHS history. - .... 'The choir sings “Through the Eyes of Love at the Music Banquet.

After the dinner, Mrs. Dorothy Garrett, Booster Club president, directed a Booster Club meeting that included the election of the 1982-83 officers. The musical program started with the choir singing two selections: “Through the Eyes of Love,” and “More Than Magic.” Mr. Detrick then introduced the Jazz Band. They played “Greatest American Hero” and “Easin’ Along.” The awards presentation began with the Senior band members. They presented spe- cial awards to various fellow bandsmen.

Prom 1982 After three long years of planning and preparation, the junior class presented the seniors and other guests with a night to remember as Prom 1982 “Don’t Stop Believin’” became a reality. As the temperature began to soar and produce a beautiful spring day, several juniors spent the afternoon of Saturday May 8, refurbishing the interior of the Kansas State University Union Ballroom for the events scheduled to begin at 8:00 p.m. that evening. Several Manhattan eating establish- ments were horded by Wamego students dressed to the hilt in tuxedos and formal dresses preparing for an extravagant oc- cason early in the evening. Eclipse, a rock band from Hutchinson, provided the entertainment with a vari- ety of trendy songs which kept the stu- dents on their feet for nearly three hours. Beneath the silver stars and shiny blue streamers, couples enjoyed refresh- ments, reminisced about the good ol’ days, and shared serveral intimate mo- ments. Decorating for prom took Sheri Seufert, Pat Rafferty, several hours and punching and Cynthia Clark display out stars was the most the current fad of frilly tedious job.

The graduates dressed in red and grey caps and gowns proceeded to their seats after the girls were presented white roses. Father Tom Melchior opened the ceremony with the invocation prayer. As the ceremony proceeded, reflections of the previous 12 years of education were evident on the faces of several graduates. Speeches by the valedictorian, salutatorian, class President Mike Crosson, and Vice-President Mike Torrey, also seemed to arouse memories of friends and special events that were established in the Wamego com- munity by the students. The presentation of diplomas by Principal Richard Roda and School Board President Harold Mertz brought forth a sense of pride and accomplishment to the 73 graduating seniors as well as the many parents, relatives, and friends who attended the ceremony. Following the benediction, also by Father Melchior, a formal recessional to the traditional “Pomp and Circum- stance” drew the ceremony to a close. Soon afterwards, the white carpet was rolled up and the crowds of people departed. However, memories of the 1982 graduation ceremony will forever fill the empty void in the gymnasium where a throng of spectators once gath- Time Is My Friend , a famil- iar tune heard at graduation ceremonies, was performed by Tina Hash. 134 Kelly Carlson, Jeff Doll, Sheryl Carnahan, and Dane Ditto listen intently as Mr. Roda declares the seniors graduates of Wamego High School. 1982 class vice-president Mike Torrey delivered a message citing the accomplishments of the graduating seniors.

Looking Back At 1981-82 NEWTON-JOHN Like you've never seen her before. The headlines and heroes of 1982 - 82 left their mark on the American people via astonishing news events and block- buster entertainment spectacles. The biggest news stories of 1981 in- volved the attempts on the lives of President Reagan and the Pope and the murder of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat. After department from a news conference at the Washington Hilton on March 30. President Reagan was grazed by a .22-caliber bullet from the gun of John W. Hinckley, Jr. Though not serious wounded, the President was hospitalized for several weeks until a full recover was evident. Six weeks later a second gunman shot Pope John Paul II as he rode through St. Peter’s Square after delivering a message to a mass audience. The Pope was struck in the abdomen and one hand and endured a long operation that saved his life. Per- haps the most astonishing news event of the year was the murder of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat, a chief negotia- tor for peace with the United States. Sadat was savagely attacked by Mus- lim terrorists on October 6. as he viewed a military parade. Another tragedy which achieved na- tion-wide notoriety occurred relatively close to home. Two walkways collapsed among a crowd of 1500 people attend- ing a tea dance at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Kansas City. Amid the rubble of the worst disaster in Kansas City his- tory. rescue workers discovered 113 dead. A glorious event occurred across the seas in England as Prince Charles wed Lady Diana Spencer in a ceremony de- scribed as the fairy-tale wedding of the century. Over 750 million people throughout the world viewed the cere- mony broadcast via satellite from St. Paul’s Cathedral in London. The entertainment field flourished with dazzling performances from per- sonalities in the television, motion pic- ture, and record industries. Prime-time soap-operas grew to ex- traordinary heights on television due to the increased popularity of “Dynasty”, “Flamingo Road , “Falcon Crest”, and the continually successful “Dallas . The NBC television network, which ran a distant third in the ratings race against CBS and ABC. scored big with its police drama, “Hill Street Blues”. The new show received much critical acclaim. The motion picture industry spawned such box-office smashes as “Taps”. “Arthur”, “the French Lieutenant’s Woman”, “Superman II”. and “Rag- time” introducing the return of legend- ary actor James Cagney to the silver screen. The five highly acclaimed films that vied for the best picture Oscar in- cluded. “Raiders of the Lost Ark”, “Reds”. “Chariots of Fire”, “On Golden Pond”, and “Atlantic City”. Bette Davis Eyes” by Kim Carnes re- ceived a Grammy award for song of the year and “Starting Over” by John Len- non and Yoko Ono won top album hon- ors. Other hits of the year included “Physical”, by Olivia Nwton-John, “Endless Love”. “Jessie’s Girl” by Rick Springfield, “Kiss On My List , and “Morning Train” by Sheena Easton. Tragedy also struck the entertainm- kent business wit the loss of two promi- nent actors, Natalie Wood and John Be- lushi. Controversy centered around the death of Natalie Wood who drowned mysteriously off the coast of Catalina Island in California. Ex-“Saturday Night Live” star. John Belushi, 33 was found dead in a hotel bungalow on March 5. 1982. Obscure causes were at- tributed to his sudden death. The newspaper headlines and note- worthy entertainment creations of 1981 - 82 can be compared to the most com- pelling occurrences and celebrated per- formances of recent years. As Ameri- cans. we should be fortunate to have had the opportunities to experience such history-making events.

GAMES PEOPLE PLAY The year is 1981, 2500 years after the beginning of civilized man. and very lit- tle remains the same except, perhaps, our infinite need to be entertained. Judging from the 5.4 billion dollars raised by the video games industry last year, we should be the most amused soci- ety ever to inhabit the earth. Participants in this “video revolution” range from about 25% between the ages of 16-25 and about 51% over the age of 26. Despite the wide differences in age, those who frequent arcades have at least one thing in common: all enjoy the chal- lenge issued by the quarter-gobbling bandits. Choice of games often depends upon skill level and mood. For example, if one had just retired from a long day of school featuring his “favorite” teachers, he might opt for the colorful cannibalism of Pac-man. Or perhaps one feels it is time to come to the aid of his country by warding off fiendish space foes with Ga- laxian. Unfortunately, spectulators have sug- gested the popularity of the arcades is temporary, and like all other good things, will soon pass. GAMES GAMES GAMES 140 Patience PS Leads To Success Are you a basketball player or just a team member? Basketball is a sport that takes talent and dedi- cation, but alot of that dedication seems wasted. In most cases, only the more talented ones get the chance to prove themselves. Quotations like: “defeat is worse than death, because you have to live with defeat,” and Vince Lombardi’s saying: “win- ning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing,” describe today’s attitude towards athletics. To sum it all up, it’s the “win-at-all-cost” attitude that’s the problem. Playing should be fun and everyone should have the opportunity to share the fun — but they don’t. Many students seem delighted to suit up for a team and they even say that though they don’t play, sitting on the bench is a way of learning from others’ mistakes. Assistant basketball coach Vicki Enyart often reassures us that “the people who sit on the bench are just as important as the regu- lar players. Bench sitters supply support that keeps the enthusi- asm and spirit flowing to motivate 142 the other players.” Sometimes as a “bench-warm- er”, I get so depressed that I just can’t stand the humiliation any more and I wonder why, day after day, I work so hard for others and get nothing in return. But then when I finally get the chance, all the so-called suffering vanishes from my mind and I have my op- portunity to at least try to shine. Another almost unbearable problem a bench-warmer faces is watching someone younger and less experienced playing as they sit. Sitting on the bench is the ex- perienced; playing is the one with ability and talent, at least in the coach’s eyes. The hardest thing about sitting out is you don’t feel like part of the game. It’s hard to celebrate a victory and hard to be sad when the team loses but, you must learn to “suffer” and “celebrate” along with the team. There’s more to a basketball team than being the high scorer. It involves practice, conditioning, good sportsmanship, and above all, pride. A popular saying states “players who reach for excellence will be successful, whether they win or lose.” Remember all you fellow ’’bench-buddies”, patience will be our key to success. Jill Lang Junior Senior Kathy Flanagan watches with concern while she waits patiently for her chance to play. Sitting on the bench doesn't destroy Brian Varnadore’s dedication to basketball. 143 Behind Walk down a hall, any hall in our school, and what do you see — rows and rows of depressing locker doors. Open up the doors and what you see are pictures, calen- ders, cards, signs, and stick- ers plastered everywhere. There are noteboards for leaving short messages, bul- letin boards for pinups, and many other things for deco- ration. Several of the pic- tures are ones you definitely wouldn’t see in a PG movie. Almost anything that has some special meaning to a person can be found stuck in- side their locker door. What is seen there seems to tell much about the per- son’s character. A locker with Snoopy calenders, Micky Mouse stickers, and posters of Tom Selleck sug- gests that it’s occupied by a girl. In the same sense a guy’s locker will have Christie Brinkley, Jaclyn Smith, or, of course, cars cov- ering much of it. An athlete’s locker is often one that stands out from the others; there seems to be a never ending supply of spirit rais- ing posters from game days, tennis racket ads, or “kill ’em” and “good luck” signs. Dan Holmes, senior athlete, shows his enthusiasm for sports by the many spirit raising signs he has put up in his locker. The locker doors of Lisa Taggert, Pat Rafferty, Jill Lang, and DeAnn Jackson display their personal taste of men and beverages. Marjean Garrett shows off her locker door decorated with a wide variety of things that she associates with. Closed Doors Many of the decorations re- flect the habits of the locker owners, good or bad. Liquor advertisements are seen in a high percentage of people’s lockers accompanied by signs like “It’s rude to refuse a drink.” The “Bud Man” is also a familiar sight through- out the halls when lockers doors are open. What about the people, other than the owners, who have to look at these pic- tures? Are they offended by some of the decorations? Some are, but the majority feel that it’s one’s own busi- ness what they put up. Most people decorate their locker with whatever they want, in- cluding some very sugges- tive pictures. Some try to hide the centerfolds by put- ting them in the back of the locker, but that really doesn’t work. After four years of school, a locker becomes like a per- son’s second home. It is something they personalize the best way they know how. And that is by decorating it with the things that, for that person, mean something spe- cial, whether it’s beer signs, cartoons, or pictures of their heart throbs; after all-it is their locker. 145 Reality? Each and every reality begins as a figment of the imagination, an idea to be planned and mold- ed into “the real thing”. Such was the case with the latest addition to the original senior high building. In the fall of 1978, board members pro- posed a ressurection of plans to add the new wing, and although it had failed on several pre- vious occasions, it managed to slip through with a reserved “ok”. Actual construction began in the fall of 1979 and was completed in the fall of 1981. Although students and teachers were at first genuinely excited about the prospct of new facilities and sufficient space, extendind deadlines, unbear- able noise and dust transformed the sensational- ism into a bleak enthusiasm for the renovation and inconveniences to be halted. In August of 1981 the students and faculty were once again introduced to the new school, but this time in the completed form. For the first time it seemed the calamity had been worth it. The new gym and field added a new dimension to the Raider Pride. All were thrilled at the pros- pect of brighter hallways and classrooms, and the famed prospect of adequeate space. The stu- dents no longer were faced with the grim pros- pect of braving the elements for their noon meal. For the jr. high students the charm of the new facilities extended to the privilege of being inte- grated into the high school environment. The highlight seemed to be the use of the new gym. It offered better facilities and adequate space. The large seating capacity allowed the high school to host the Sub-state basketball tour- nament, which attracted an estimated 3,000 spectators. The added facilities provided new opportuni- ties for the students, and as the high school en- rollment once again increases, the benefits of additional space will be felt more completely. The new gym not only provided a classroom for physical education students, but also a place for athletes to prepare for and compete in exracurricular sporting events. The artist's image of the new school addition that was proposed by the 320 school board in October. 1979. The new addition also provided a modern, well- equipped kitchen capable of serving the entire school district. This was the first year students didn't have to walk to the grade school for hot lunches. More students took advantage of an alternate choice for lunch (such as salad, or soup and sandwiches). The new addition has provided new home economic facilities. Here Jacquie Rickstrew participates in Advanced Simplicity: Our Greatest Gift. Elegance in the tangible form is silver spoons, cry- stal chandeliers, satin and lace. But those of us on the ’81-’82 Wa-Kaw staff, the greater part of Wamego’s grace lies in the intangi- ble. The society we live in is more complicated and more sophisticated than any civilization has ever been, and the simplicity instilled in those who re- side, or have resided in Wamego, offers a more stable beginning on which a person may build. Perhaps one of the greatest problems in to- day’s society is the fear of failure. A person can only climb so high, before he begins to think about fall- ing. However, those who are able to look down without fear of what lies below continue climbing. To falter, does not mean to fall, if one has faith in who he is, a vain attempt at success does not signify failure, only a need to stretch further and try harder. The simplicity we have been given is not to be This group of tame ducks in Wamego’s park represents the serenity Wamego provides for its inhabitants.

For with it comes strength of character and peace of mind; life be- comes not a jagged moun- tain but a sloping field of green to be crossed on a sunny day.

Although the idea of playing games associat- ed with cards, such as pitch, was conceived some time ago, it never really came to life until this school year. Be- cause of a ban on cards in the classroom, growth of the amuse- ment was temporarily stunted; however, it now flourishes as a time-filler at extra-cur- ricular events and noon hours. 49 Carnahan.

Randv — 28. 36. 44 Obituary: Main Dies “Dragging Main” died August, 1981, at the early age of 31. Lincoln Avenue was born in June, 1866, when three men from Topeka came to the town and decided it would logically be the main street. Main led a rather quiet life until the 1950s. Model T’s then began driving up and down the street around the begin- ning of the 1900s. As the years passed, teenagers became more and more evident dragging main. One saw a friend, honked, and waved; thus the pattern continued generation after generation. On December 13,1979, an ordinance was passed banning the honking of horns on Lincoln Avenue. Perhaps at this time teenagers began to feel that it was no longer fun to drive down main, turn at the Mobil gas station, drive up main, turn at Dick’s, and start all over again. Main street is no longer as full of rowdy teenagers as it once was. Survivors include: taking Aggies, making a Swannie run, seeing the latest movie, going to Tuttle Creek, and attending weekend parties. 73. 89. 92. 117 W-CLUB — 60-61 Weilert.
