This is the season whenmleavesrchangelcolors and when we realize that we, too, . l g have changed. Sophomores enter a whole new world and we all see that our clubs, our Student Council, 4.4, and aurcteamsa. have changed since the year before. Homecoming and Spirit Week i are different, too. s The changing color of the leaves reminds us of rnany things. b As we view these leaves, we see that, like .snowflakes which soon will flurry, each leaf his different than all others. Then we realize that each of us is unique, in our own way, we begin to g look aroundand see others U 4 as we never ha ve before t .Fall has helped us to see these things. f l --Stuart Guinn of 4 V l-- un V l T Uwe. e ' 5 ff . .. .af A Z ffl? , ,. f ,W Such Au-xv., g f egj 1 L ' l' f l-lun-y up V ' ,-,, ' i1 1ii. f-y .

Students interested in any type of medical career joined. We had a film that had information concerning most medical fields. We had a speaker who didnit show up. Veteran's Administration Hospital gave us a tour. We took our annual all-day field trip to Erwin General Hospital. Our club did not participate in many money- making projects. We did not sell stickers, operate acoat rack and had only one bake sale. We did, however, collect forthe Heart Fund. A veteranarian talked to us. Although we each had our own specific field in mind, we listened and learned about several medical careers. Nurses. . . aides. . . interns. . .

We had guest speakers almost every other meeting. We were involved in several money-making projects. Besides the traditional football and basketball spirit rib- bons we sold license plates. One of our sponsors and eight members attended the regional conference in K.C. We also went to the state conference at Emporia State College. FHA was a club full of activities. We sold doughnuts and candles. There were a few guest speakers as well as a Mary Kay make-up demonstration. The district fall conference was held in Hiawatha.

We met at this time to allow more people to attend and to get our meetings off school time. Our mixer was a big success with: a large turn out, lots of smiling faces and Tom Floach as our disc jockey. Constutitional by-laws were changed many times. Homecoming nominations being only senior girls, Queen of Courts crowning and Winter Sports Queen were a few of the topics. We saw Doug Nicholson preside. We joined the National Association of Student Councils and received periodical publications with new ideas from all over the nation. Our annual flea market was held in conjunction with the Ken Berry Pancake Feed. An Old Fashioned Christmas was the theme for the Christmas Formal that was planned and decorated for with Larry Rosselot, vice-presi- dent, in charge. FBLA teamed up with us in selling license tags.

We were interested mainly in the different aspects of photography. When we did meet, everyone threw out ideas on new techniques of developing, enlarging and cinematography. Mike Wasserstein was our president, we were sponsored by Mr. Dave Adams, Miss Pat Mullen and Mr. Paul Nesbitt. During one meeting, we showed movies made by Peggy Elmore and Wally Cobler. Tournaments were the big culmination of Chess and Checkers Club. There were usually about twenty-five players who consistently played and only about five of us were girls. Our sponsor Mr. Paul Warren watched over us in case anyone who played Don Odom got desperate and threw the board in the air. We don't have elected officers, but sophomore Gregg Carson usually set up our tournaments. We often heard, Okay boys, put on your helmets and let's move! Fifteen riders and fifteen dirt bikes took off. No, it wasn't the Hell's Angels, but one of our newer groups, the Motorcycle Club. Our president was Glen Eckhart who planned most of our after-school activities. We rode to Fort Ftileyg it was T beautiful out there, you could ride for hours and never see the same place twice. During our club meetings, we learned how to waterproof our bikes. Our sponsor, Mr. Brian Powers, owns a bike and could ride with us. lt was pretty neat to have an interested sponsor like that.

At club meetings we had various speakers, each with a different foreign background. On our field trips we visited places like La Tortilleria, a tortilla factory, and we ate at La Siesta, a Mexican restuarant. We also visited Our Lady of Guadalupe Church. At our Around the World Dinner we each prepared a foreign dish to share with each other. ln Drama Club we participated in many new activities. The year started out with The Thwarting of Baron Bolligrew. We also did a special performance for the kids at the Capper Foundation. We then helped with the produc- tion of the all school Trilogy. We also took a field trip to Kansas State University for a Drama Workshop, where we learned new ideas on set design, practiced improvisations, learned new techniques in makeup and dancing.

The four major goals of l-li-Y are: clean speech, clean sports, clean scholarship and clean religion. Throughout the year this is the message we tried to spread among ourselves, our friends and the people around us. We also tried to bring out our goals through the various projects we did during the year. For the Thanksgiving assembly we had Mr. Gary Deeter come and speak to us. Then to help Kayettes raise money for UNICEF we went Trick or Treating and helped collect an all time high of 8170, afterwards we celebrated with a pizza party. At Christmas we helped Kayettes support a needy family by making contri- butions and helping them collect money, food, clothes and other basic items. When it came time for making decorations for the Christmas Dance we helped by working on Saturdays and staying after school. We also helped Pep Club and Kayettes decorate the Christmas tree that was put in the commons. By helping in our own ways we tried to make this a successful year. Speakers. . .

Before the school year even started, we were busy planning activities for the oncoming year, having poster parties and going to board meetings. This year to get new ideas for the club, Nina Morgan, president, and Jill Snyder, publicity chairman, spent four days at the Kayette Leadership Camp near Junction City. The year then started out with a chili supper after the Blue-White Scrimmage game. Over 200 people attended the supper which was for Kayettes, football players and their parents. For Homecoming we tried to start a new tradition by selling mums to the student body for their dates and parents. Then, to help raise money for UNICEF, we had a bake sale and went Trick or Treating with Hi-Y, where we raised a new high of 3170. The highlight of the year was Heart Sister Week. We all exchanged names and for a week we put little gifts ina girl's locker. At the end of the week, we had a party and gave one final nice gift and discovered who our Heart Sister was. During the year, we sold shakers at basketball games, went to conferences, listen- ed to speakers, participated in the National Service Week and supported a needy family at Christmas. We reached our goal of 1,000 points first semester and received an award. This was the first time in several years Kayettes had won the award. Trick or Treating. . .helping. . .UNlCEF. . .

Promoting school spirit involved many activities and projects. Yelling at the games was the main job of the Pep Club. Making sure everybody was in the block with our new uniforms on, ready to yell when the game started was another job. lt was a blast going to the away games on the busses, singing, talking and having a good time. Pep Club had many projects to build spirit. The newest one was A Dollar for an Athlete. We drew an athlete name from a hat and put food in his locker and decorate it on the day of the game. Another thing we did was make posters to build a spark of enthusiasm in the coaches and players. After we won a game and everybody was fired up afterwards it made all things we did to promote school spirit worthwhile. Involvement. . . work. . . fulfillment. . . .

One of our major projects was to clean up the stadium before Homecom- ing. We also sold Christmas candles and T-shirts. We had a lot of speakers during the club period and always found time to laugh and enjoy ourselves. We organized Booster Club for the purpose of supporting the students of Washburn Rural High School, Jay Shideler Junior High and Auburn Junior High. Any patron of District H437 can join our club. Some of the projects to help the students were the improving of the McElroy stadium bleachers, taking buses to away games and the wearing of our booster jackets. Blue. . . white. . . unite. . .

Cheerleading includes lots of time, effort, fun Battlecry's. . .blue and white. . .spirit stick. . Practicing several times a week during the summer got to be bothersome especially when we added car washes, bake sales and pop bottle drives. lt all paid off though when we went to Thunderhawk Camp at Oklahoma U. in Norman and received 1 superior and 3 excellent ratings and a spirit stick. The train ride down and back was something we'lI always remember. As soon as school started we had the football games and cross country meets. Then it was time for girls and boys basketball, wrestling, gymnastics and in the spring tennis, track and golf meets. Different from other years, there were always cheerleaders at sports events besides just basketball and football. Mrs. Caffrey, our sponsor, helped us work that and many other things out. Through the many happy and sad hours spent together we learned not only how to cheer as a squad but how to really care about each other. Now the year is over and we will always remember us, our squad , and Fi-U-Ft-A-L. Assemblies. . .tootsie pops. . .moo. . . Cheerleaders-27 wg.

All sorts of costumes made their appearance during Spirit Week, Oct. 7-11. The week started out when we wore our best western gear for Western Day, which was followed Tuesday with pigtails, freckles and suckers on Little Girls and Little Boy Day. Then came one, two, three o'clock, four o'clock rock-and we all appeared in clothes from the 50's, with below-the-knee length skirts and greased back hair. This was followed by the traditional Rural Day, also known as Senior Priority Day. Then came Blue and White Day, everyone wore the school colors to show spirit. The climax of the week came when we played the Highland Park Scotties in the Homecoming football game. During the half-time ceremonies the band carried out the theme Yesterday Once More, while Sheryl Barnes was crowned our Homecoming Queen.

Though lacking wins, Rural enthusiasm high Practicing. . .playbook. . .huddles. . . We started the football season on Sept. 13, after long summer practices. Though we didn't have exactly a winning season, in fact, in terms of the newspapers we were ripped, driven, whipped and rolled, we did have potential. ln every game there were flashes of the spectacular. Like in our first victory, Bill Pfeifer's 90 yd. punt return, Ed Youngis 76 yd. scamper against Abilene, Mark Golden named Player of the Week and the defensive playing of Vernon Weekly and Albert Palenske. The line was inexperienced and our general consensus was that we just made too many mistakes! But, as Coach Fteed said during one of the many Pep Assemblies, The 1974 Junior Blues will give you everything they've got. Amidst the cheerleaders, pep club, pom-pon and banner girls, marching band, parents, siblings and friends who made up the cheering home crowds, we did indeed give all we've got and we're proud to play for Ft-U-H-A-L, MOOOOGOOOO!

Practice from four to six Thursdays. But winning made up for it. With only two returning letterwomen, five returning players and ten sophomores the team was inexperienced. However, good rapport between teammates made learning easier and led the way to some new and exciting strategies. Double-blocks and a 5-1 offense. With the loss of one starter at the start of the season and another towards the end we certainly had a handicap. But even with inexperience and setbacks through the season we earned second in the Centennial League, third in class 3A regionals and a final record of 8-5.

Wayne Copp, asia freshman, was our best time runner. He and Bill Holbrooks, junior, placed in the top fifteen in both the City and League meets. But even though our team was small, young and inexperienced we finished fourth in the City, third in the Centennial League and fourth out of twelve teams in our regional.

Miss Patricia Mullen teaches general art along with drawing, painting, sculpture and ceram- ics. ln drawing we experimented with different media. ln painting we blew up comic book characters in tempera, and tried different types of paint like watercolor and acrylics. In ceramics we handbuilt pots and figures and spun pots on the potter's wheel.

Mrs. Donna Dexter, our French teacher, and Mrs. Sharon Caffrey, our Spanish teacher, believe in teaching their students about everyday things. We visited the bathrooms in French class in order to learn the names and common phrases of the utilities. Other everyday things include learning dialogues and verb tenses and reciting them in front of class in order to help out poise in from of other people. Both the Spanish and French classes took a field trip to the Nelson Art Gallery in Kansas City to view French and Spanish art. After- wards we feasted at the International Cafeteria ln the Crown Center. The spanish classes celebrated Christmas by' breaking the traditional Mexican pinata -filled with candy and toys.

With only five teachers, additional mini- courses and thirty of us in a class, we had crowded communications classes. Cinematography, a favorite mini course of Mr. Paul Nesbitt, is a study of filming and films. We produced and directed our own films. Another of Mr. Nesbitt's classes that we enjoyed was Mystery and Detective. ln the mini course Seeing is Believing, taught by Mrs. Sharon Matthews, we wrote short one act plays. Mrs. Matthews felt that with the changing of classes every nine weeks it was hard for her to get to know us. Mrs. Margaret Hllt joined us this year, she formally taught at Jay Shideler Junior High. Mrs. Hilt is a more traditional type person and would have liked to see more basic English taught, especially those of us who are college bound. Mr. Brian Powers, another new teacher to the department, taught primarily sophomore English. Mr. Powers would have liked to teach us a Shakespeare course, but it didn't fit into his schedule this year. Mr. Don Williams, taught Learning Resource classes which stressed the basic techniques of reading and speaking.

We discovered that the funny taste to our meatloaf was the garlic Billy had thrown in for added flavor. And we learned how to follow recipes. Future tailors and seamstresses learned how to lay our patterns, cut material and stitch seams. lvlrs.Asay patiently showed us why we couldn't sew a sleeve-hole shut. We stitched and ripped and stitched again. And we learned how to read patterns. We learned how to raise children and through them we realized why we did what we did.

Pass your papers to the front. What papers, did we have an assignment? Hey Harold, what's the logarithm of 343.7 x 861l? There were many nights of geometric dreams. We calcu- lated derivitives, proved theories, found values, analyzed numbers and contracted headaches. If we can just get through this chapter the next has to be easier.

With the experience from last year, mini courses went a little more smoothly and the only changes that were made were for the better. Among the changes was a new teacher. Mr. Templer came to be the only male teacher in the Business Department. He seemed to add to the department and brought with him new ideas. The mini courses made it possible for us to learn how to budget, discover ourselves, and work an office machine all at the same time. Full year and semester courses were also continued. So we also know how to type, take shorthand, and be an accountant. Keys. . . steno pads. . . workbooks. . . x 1.-5 3? N ,hs 5 ...f,- l .. 1' Wi 1.

In the phyical education classes we have two kinds of classes, basic education and life-time sports, for advanced students. The main thing we strive for in the advanced class is to work on carry over sports, these are sports that can be used in our adult lives. In all classes we learn sportsmanship and how to get along with each other. In the basic physical education classes we learn and understand the rules of the games plus responsibility of the individual. Because of the block schedule and the busing system we use on block schedule, we have one of the most well rounded programs in Kansas. Games. . . teams. . . sportsmanship. . .

Fourty-one of us and Mr. Adams attended the National Scholastic Press Association Con- vention in Chicago, Ill. in November. We traveled by chartered bus and stayed at the McCormick Inn.

These are just a few of the changes that made this year in the Music Department unique. Along with the new, many of the old traditions we know, such as Pom-Pon Corps, Stage Band and This Generation were back, all under the direction of Mr. Jerry Goacher. We started the year in the Music Department with Marching Band, this year 109 strong. Included in this were the sixteen Banner Girls and the ten Pom-Pon Girls. All of us in band endured everything from a rainy KU Band Day, to lost plumes to first-tripper initiation on the way to Baker University. But when we formed Blues for the last time, we knew we would miss it. This year's vocal classes were the biggest ever. Ftobed Choir numbering 60 and Girl's Glee Club 45. ln Glee Club this year we put on several singing presentations throughout town along with our annual caroling at Christmas. In Choir we put on our musical in November. Little Mary Sunshine was a musical melodrama involving romance, Indians, Forest Rangers and Young Ladies from Eastchester Finishing School. Even though some of us had to learn to waltz, to march, to play croquet and even to kiss, a standing ovation at the end made it all worthwhile. The Music Department has always been known for its special groups. ln Stage Band we busily prepared ourselves for our February trip to Kansas State Jazz Festival. Skimpy Dozen, previously all-male, had two female members join the group. In the newly co-ed group we performed at various civic functions. ln This Generation we had more engagements than ever before. ln T.G., like all the music groups, we worked and were pushed hard, but results were always achieved.

Presenting the flag at home football games, escorting queen candidates and marching in parades are a few of the other things we did. We also had a military ball at Club Second Base. It was like a miniature Prom. Jr. ROTC will be discontinued because of lack of interest. All good things must come to an end but we still have learned a lot and have many good memories.

There were only fourteen of us who went to Vo- Tech so we felt Kind of special. For the first half of the school day we each studied one of a variety of subjects. Some of the different areas we studied were electricity, engines, radio, TV and auto mechanics. The second half we were back at Rural in our regular classes. What was so great about going to Technical School was having time to learn a skill we were interested in. We got to work at our own rate. There was always individual attention if we needed lt.

This year we saw females invade our traditionally male industrial Education De- partment. Residential Construction was a new class added to the wood shop, this class was designed so that we could build such things as a full scale kitchen, instead of just making smaller wood projects. We made a potters wheel in Productive Enterprise class. lt was made so that clays and other materials acquainted with a potters wheel could be worked with. Materials and Processing classes made and sold candle holders, those of us who made the candle holders received the profits. The auto mechanic shop worked on 300 cars this year. We learned how to repair cars, though we didn't work on the body or transmission. The cars we worked on were owned by fellow students or teachers. We overhauled cars which took three weeks and tuned them up which only took a day. This class didn't have many girls because of the grease. Our Industrial Education Department had a new face, lvlr.

We spent class time working on miniature flats, building them so they would look original, we studied pantomining and learned different acting exercises. We watched several old movies and compared their acting styles to the styles of actors today. After we learned the basic techniques of Drama I, we could go into Drama ll. According to, and reading from, are two phrases used in debate we will never forget. We also won't forget rising early to leave for tournaments, discovering at the last minute the judges hadn't come, and running out to find new ones, something always to be remembered is what happens when you drop your quote cards. Forensics is where we mix two talents together: speech and acting. To do this, we had to learn about giving and preparing speeches and the techniques involved in acting. We had an extremely good year, some of us placing high in local tournaments. Although we worked together in teams, we also worked in improving ourselves as individuals.

They were Lori Cokely and Robin Golden, sophomoresg Robin Lawless and Paul Ballou, juniorsg Glenda Smith and Dave Ireland, seniors. After we waited in suspense, Glenda and Dave were announced as Queen and King. For the eveningis entertainment, Nate and Donna Dexter sang several 17th Century love songs along with some folk songs. Santa also gave us a visit. When the ceremonies ended, a dance number was played in honor of the new Royalty. The band for the dance, which was held in the commons, was Atlantic.l' An Old Fashioned Christmas was the theme, which was emphasized well through the decorations.

Some other highlights of the season were Kim Gibson, senior, finished off the season with a 13-2 record and Tom Schroder, junior, took fourth place in Regionals and qualified for state, also Ray Glaze, sophomore, Paul Hernandez, freshman, Dave Ireland, senior and Mike Rader, junior, received medals at tournaments. Our team was young with three returned lettermen but we will have ten lettermen returning next year. Wrestling is an individual sport so we learn to do things ourselves and not to depend on others.

Girls basketball is rising in interest in high schools all over the nation and it certainly has raised interest at Washburn Rural. We were given priveleges that last year couldn't have been possible. The most noticeable changes were we were able to play some of our games before the varsity basketball games and we shared practice time with all the boys basketball teams. We had many experiences traveling and got to know each other better while learning to work as a team. Some of us went to basketball camp at Kansas State University and attended the Big Eight Tournament in Kansas City. We threw the coach inthe showers a few times and had a big hamburger feed to round off the season. Drills. . . fouls. . . lay-ups. . .

The six Queen and King candidates were decided on as Nancy Eilert, Gerri Laue, Julie Palma, Tim Hicks, Bob Speake and Ed Young. The halftime of our game against Seaman was the scene for the final announcement of the Royalty. As the aisle was being formed by the Honor Guard, Doug Troutt, senior class president, began an- nouncing the candidates. The Queen can- didates were escorted onto the court by their fathers, with the King candidates following, escorted by the Varsity cheerleaders. Then, before we had a chance to become nervous, Nancy Eilert and Ed Young were announced as the Queen and King. Through all of the joy and tears, the Queen was crowned and robed and the King was given his trophy. When everyone received their flowers and trophies, they made their way through the excited crowd, only to finish the Seaman game in a loss of 67-55. The disappointment of the game was soon forgotten, as we went to the dance to have a good time and dance to the sounds of Mike Ford and Dove. The well-decorated commons helped us to enjoy ourselves even more, with Cupids, hearts, flowers and valentines sur- rounding us. Let Me Call You Sweetheart, was the theme of the dance. This and all of the other exciting moments helped to make Queen pf Courts an enjoyable and memorable event or us all.

New process pro vides full colorin yearbook Deadlines. . . paste-up. . . photographers. . . Our goal for the year was to compile the 1974- 75 Chimes yearbook. We selected, as a staff, the theme As we change, day by day, the country remains the same. We began work on the book as soon as school opened in the fall after having the editors Debbie Olmstead and Mike Stowe present the ladder, order of departments and number of pages, so that we could choose the sections we wanted to develop. We set the book up in chronological order, by seasons of the year, rather thansections like sports, classes and clubs all together which has been done in the past. This way the book fol- lows the year as it happened. This year was the first year that we have done our own paste-up of the pages saving us about 55800. We put the money we saved back in the book by opening it with eight pages of full color mood pages to help implement the theme. We .worked steadily throughout the year meeting deadlines and showin how we Q Changed, day by day, and the country remained the same. Layout. . . pica-ruler. . . staff. . .

We covered many school, community, state and national topics. Some of our articles were on amnesty, state elections, growth of our district, inflation, booster club bleacher pro- ject, guys in home economics, our journalism department's trip to Chicago for the NSPA and a questionaire and voting on how the student body felt about our smoking policy. Many of us attended the National Scholastic Press Association Convention in Chicago in November. While in Chicago three of our staff members won awards in the national writing contest.

William Mills, there were some changes in our Drama productions. Even though enthusiasm was lacking a little, as it does under any new instructor, we still had our three major productions. We started with The Thwarting of Baron Bolligrew , a childrenls fantasy all about dragons,'evil barons and a hero named Oblong fitz Oblong. Then in December we put on our three one-act plays which we call Trilogy. Due to certain circumstances this year the play No Exit wasicancelled, so only two plays, Riders to the Sea and Hello Out There were performed. Then this spring our major play was put on. This year it was the Neil Simon hit, Prisoner of Second Avenue? For a three night run the story of the pressures, problems and general insanities of New York City life were por- trayed.

Our Athletics Awards Banquet was one of many year-end events. The evening started off with Cindy Reynolds, president of Pep Club, welcoming us. Then we had dinner and Mr. Bud Moore, head coach of Kansas University's football team, spoke to us. The awards were presented with the highlights coming when Ed Young, senior, and Gerri Laue, senior, were named Athletes of the year. We were all surprised when the gymnastics team came up to the head table and presented Coach Mike Reed with a trophy of apprecia- tion. Then, Mary Vaughn, junior, was an- nounced head cheerleader for next year and the evening ended. The social highlight of the year was our Prom, given to us by the Junior Class. After the pre-Prom parties, we all went to the Santa Fe Room, and we enjoyed ourselves dancing to the music of Antiphony. The First Annual Journalism Banquet was held this year to honor members of the yearbook, photography, newspaper and production staffs. There were also several gag awards presented, such as fastest developer, etc... The evening started out with a buffet style dinner, then the awards were presented by different members of the staffs, followed by music and dancing. The ROTC Banquet was a success this year because the atmosphere was comfortable and everyone enjoyed themselves. The main events were the presentations of the awards and the head speaker, which was Captain Steve Reynolds from the Air National Guard. The awards for outstanding cadets were presented to clLt. Col.

In the lobby of the Center the art show was displayed thus rounding out Painted Rhythm. Our show was in a nostalgic mood tracing musicthrough the decades, ranging from l'm Just Wild About Harry! to Doc Severison's Dot Dash. We saw Mike Erdman in several comedy shorts and heard about Leroy Brown. The theme of our show was the Sing.

After our name is called and we receive our diplomas we realize we've finally made it. In the midst of the congratulations, the parties and the air of excitement we fail to com- municate our true feelings of being sad and a bit scared of growing up, but more, growing away. VVe've met a lot of friends and teachers that have influenced us more than we realize now. VVe've had hardships, we've had disillusion- ment, but also we've had fun.

One of t largest railroads, the Rock Island, went ban courts ruled that the offshore belongs to government, rather than the states for o purposes. The government also made it legal f gold bullion. and On the lnternatlon al scene we saw the situation in the lVlid- dle East deteriorate as the Israelis took a ' stand against the Ar- abs despite Henry Kissinger's efforts to bring lasting peace. The situation grew worse when Saudi Arabia's King Faisal was shot by his mentally derranged nephew. King Faisal's ailing brother Crown Prince Khaled lbn Abdul Aziz was pro- claimed king.
