Many changes came about in 1964 when plans were made to move the cafeteria to where it is now. Before, the cafeteria was an auditorium and the kitchen was a band room. The balcony of the auditorium was ex- tended to make the library. The room originally used for the cafeteria has now become a lecture hall and a pro- jection room. At this time also, the swimming pool was completed, the auditorium was built along with the band room. The auditorium seats about 1,000 stu- dents, at the time, it was thought it would not be economical to build it to seat 1,900 fa Below Formtr principal lawrence Butler stands in the tormer calettria wi 4...-.--mp Above: Construction on the cafeteria, takes much space for needed materials.

Even though prices have soared, students still drive to school. Some students live too close to ride a bus, or else they have another reason for driving to school. No matter how students get to school, they help to make WHS have the best attendance record for this district. The students who wish to drive to school were required to reg- i l l s Lett StuCo member checks car stickers in the Above: Students clear the parking lot after a 6 s long day. of toda ister the make and year of the car with the office. The reasoning for this is that if there were any reason for towing the car, they could contact the student about it. After parking their car in the park- ing Iot, students can go to their classes without any worry about their car being stolen or being messed up. Although, when others come in the parking lot to park, who knows what can happen.

Spirit! No matter how many games were won through the five decades here, everyone enjoyed going to the games, or hearing about them the next week at school. Much time was spent into getting ready for the home games and even more for the Home- coming Game. Many are in the publics eye at these games, but the backbone of these few are those who make those shouts become heard across the field and out into the streets, the sponsors, coaches and the students. Spirit is what is held high in and out of the publics eyesight. Pride? So many people in this gen- NX . a K M .gt . ,W . . . ta W as Q . . - i nf, : i 4 K an . .,,. t . .. . eration don't seem to have the pride that those from earlier generations feel should be there, but way down in them there is the pride that no one can take away from them. They sup- port their school, in a way that has changed since 1931. There will always be a difference in how we should show our pride.

A 'if ' Hi-Y and Y-Teens clubs ' involve concerned pupils The counterpart of Y-Teens was Hi- Y. This all male club sent Christmas boxes to the underpriviledged and sponsored gym and skating parties. They too, used the candy store both before and after school to sell school supplies. Both clubs were strongly motivated in helping their fellow man and they both had mottos which expressed this idea. The H-Y worked To create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. Y-Teens were simply 'Cirls working for the good of others. ..s.: These two clubs were local pro- grams sponsored by the YWCA and the YMCA. Raising money for those less fortunate and for the war relief fund are a few of their community oriented projects. Y-Teens, formerly known as the Girl Reserves also sponsored projects in the school. Each year they held the powder puff football game which was televised, in 1965, on a local television station. They collected canned goods at Thanksgiving for the needy and they sold homemade cookies during lunch in what is now the candy store. is 2-Q.. T Wiigivt s . . .

These students are energetic and are willing to support their school sports. One often sees their energy and school spirit at various games. W-Club members start a cheer, and the rest of the student body will often join in. The W-Club encourages the student body to support their school's athlet- ics. 20fStudent Life ABOVE RIGHT: W-CLUB officers are: L Beashore, pres, K. Colon, secretary, and I Easterwood, vice. pres, E.

As the years passed on it became more popular. Not only was being a majorette important, but baton twirl- ing was a major sport, too. Today the swinging and the swaying of the pom poms are in. This is just one of the changes occuring in our school today. FAR ABOVE: The special hat and baton of the majorette. Being a majorette meant being able to lead and represent your school. The majorette usually marched in front of the band and told the band members when to begin and end the song or march. The majorettes have not often been recognized but being a majorette is very important to some young ladies. ABOVE: A past majorette marching with her leg high and proud for WHS. 9 X -Y ,af 1 Q. ' Annual Spirit Week kicks off homecoming During the week of October 6th, Washington held its annual Spirit Week for Homecoming. Spirit Week, which was sponsored by Pep Club, is to encourage spirit by all the students. Monday, Oct. 6, was Sport's Day. This was your chance to be any sportsperson you wished to be. Tuesday was Grub Day. Most stu- dents found this day the easiest to dress up because almost everyone had some shabby clothes packed away somewhere. Western Day was Wednesday. Many cowboys land cowgirlsl came, as did the Indians. Fifties Day was Thursday. This was always a popular day and a favorite. The saddle shoes, poodle skirts, rolled-up jeans, greased-back hair, ponytails, and bright lipstick came back for a day. Finally, the last day was Red and White Day. Every one was urged to show their spirit with the school's col- ors. Spirit week turned out well with a lot of the student's enthusiasm and help.

A mixture of hard and mellow rock, a ballroom and other lights were provided by two disc jockeys which set the atmosphere for the semi-formal event. Live bands and even a phonograph with records of the students have provided the music for the dance in past years. The royalty was presented midway through the evening. Queen Solveeta Burgess, sr., was escorted and crowned by King Mike Burdge, sr. They then shared the traditional royal- ty dance. Ticket prices increased due to the remaining low cost of the activity ticket. Students with activity tickets payed 52.50, students without payed 57.50. ln former years the activity ticket alone admitted students.

The waiting for that special date to ask you or answer your request and the tense moment of waiting for the homecoming queen to be announced are some memories of homecomings past remembered by former and present WHS students. Also the rushing sensation as you walk into the gymnasium and find the answer to the enchanting mystery be- yond the doors. An Oriental Atmo- sphere, 2001, Tihitan Paradise, Cinder- ella and Alice in Wonderland are a few ways the mystery has been an- swered. The royalty has traditionally consist- ed of a queen chosen from three senior girl candidates, and a football player has been chosen by the team to be the king, A senior guy is cho- sen to escort the queen, and a girl and boy attendant is chosen by each grade. All royalty is presented at the Homecoming football game and the queen is then announced. Later that day or the next day the royalty reign over all the festive celebrations of the Homecoming Dance.

Clubs have same Interests All those students interested in the theater forms the Drama Club. The main purpose of the club was to pro- mote the theater among young adults. Each year they produce a fall play and spring play. The club took field trips so the club members could see how a professional play is set up and performed on stage. Another club closely related to the Drama Club is the Thespian Society. The Thespians go places putting on plays usually for the younger children in grade schools and for the Salvation Army program. For Christmas the Thespians sponsored kisses with a message before Christmas break. 34fStudent Life lW SQL , 231 FQ A'-1 qw, ,Z , Wi x. !- XM, 36f'Student Life ff' af FAR ABOVE: The good queen's life is short- ened near the begining of the play by the short tempered narrator.

' 38fStuclent Life Rehearsals REHEARSALS for Armageddon 2, this years's winter play, was seperated into four one-act plays that had the theme centered around the last war of the world. The plays were performed in four possible situations of what the Mend could be like. The first play, The Vulturesf' was centered about the idea of that the wicked, who deceive by seemingly in- nocent and loving to others, can be destroyed by their own wickedness. The characters were as follows: Cram, David Hoglund, sr., Barty, Scott Simmons, jr., and the girl, Carmen Tucker, jr. The next play, Wkuditions for God, was about how Cod is everywhere and may not be as perfect as every- one thinks he is. The actors were: di- rector, Ken Beatty, jr., asst. director, Kim Willis, sr., Wendi, Kelly Howlett sr,, Paul Cross, Dwayne Lee, sr,, and L. 1 9, X lf ' I J provoke deep thoughts Gods voice, or Cod, jeff McHenry, jr. The third one-act play was titled, 'lln the Meantime This play was about how two women were not ac- cepted into the middle-aged group, which America is geared towards, be- cause one of them was a teenager and the other lady was an edlerly woman. Nobody accepted them or wanted them. The two actors were Mikki, Cathy Overfelt, sr., and Vikki, Camille McClain, jr. The final play, l'The Collar , was about how man may intend to do no harm, but ends up doing so. Bergie, played by David Hoglund, ends up murdering Dr. Mollister, lohn Frost, sr. It was an accident but showed the evil side of man. Also was Alice, The- resa Overfelt, sr, the wife of Bergie, daughter, Pam Deane sr., and her boyfriend Ron Summer, sr.

Fourteen reporters and three pho- tographers participated in the District 500 contest held at Sumner Academy. Two first places and three third places were awarded to Washington students. LaTonya Cook, soph., re- ceived a first place medal in feature writing and Debbie Schumacher took first in caption writing. Third place certificates were given to Wes Hatfield for sports writing, Pat Eberle for editorial competition and Laura Gates for ad layout. KSPA Regional Contest was held at the University of Kansas. Fifteen stu- dents participated, but only one, Angela Mills, jr., placed. She received third in the make-up competition. Doughnuts were popular with stu- dents and with the journalism depart- ment as a money raising project. Two donut sales were held by the Hatchet staff and one by the Washingtonian staff during the year. Hatchet editor, Camille McClain said, 'll can honestly say that l'm glad each person on the staff was here. At times, I know, it doesn't show, but it's tough being an editor, critic and a peer.

The Winter Formal is sponsored by the Student Council. The Hatchet ball was held by the Hatchet Staff from the 1940s until its' last year 1971. 'love is Forever at the Winter Formal according to its theme. This theme was chosen because the dance was held on February 7, close to Val- entines day. The theme of the last Hatchet Ball was llAlice in Wonderland. Two weeks before the dance, the location had to be changed. The Arrowhead Inn was the reserved place, but when they closed, the dance was scheduled at the Sheraton Royal Hotel. The Hatchet Balls were always held in the gymnasium. No dance was held outside of the school grounds until 1976. This years' royalty was chosen through ballots distributed to each student. Everyone could vote for the king and queen of their choice, Earli- er, each class nominated three choices for each. To be royalty at the Hatchet Ball, you had to work. Tickets to the dance could be sold by anyone who wanted to be a member of the royal- ty. The queen and king were the girl and boy that sold the most tickets. The sales from the tickets went to help the production cost of the yearbook. 427Student Life ABOVE: The 1981 Winter Formal Royalty, Kim Willis, third princess and escort, Ted Fondopoulos, Dana McCully, first princess and escort, Peter jackson, Holly Higbee, second princess and escort, Dana Cunningham, Lisa Gaurne, fourth princess and escort, Larry Beashore, Pam Deane, queen and king, Ioe Chrisman, Tony Frazier, escort.

According to Mr. Franklin Sheppard, AFS sponsor, AFS is a worthwhile club for high school stu- dents. AFS is also a student club that works with foreign students at WHS. AFS of- fers a language tutoring service to help foreign students learn English and to help with their American school assign- ments for those who need it. This year, unfortunately, there are no AFS students at WHS, but there is one person who did come from a for- eign Iand, but not on the AFS pro- gram. His name is Abdul Giawad International differences understood in Worthwhile AFS club Drebi. He was asked if he would write a personal view of his life and did so. He gave us this story: I'My name is Abdul Giawad Drebi, my friends call me lo lo for short. I was born in Libya, that's in North Afri- can. I stayed there until I was 7 years old, then I moved to Malta, a small is- land in the Mediterranean Sea. I stayed there for 9 years. Also, when I was 15, I moved to England. My parents were still in Libya. I stayed at the Lon- don International School, which was a private school, for I year. In Decem- ber I979, I then came to Kansas City, Kansas to live with my cousins. I then went to Maur Hill, which is a prep school in Atchison, Kansas. After stay- ing in school for a semester, I then de- cided to carry on my life here in Kan- sas. After time, I decided to enroll at a public school by the name of Wash- ington High School. After living here, I learned to like Washington, because I was given a chance to meet many new friends and people, which also helped me practice my English lan- guage a lot because I now can under- stand what's going on in this country. tIt's good to learn a new languagel. I also respect the teachers which are giving me plenty of help in school here at WHS. I am very glad to be here. ff ' ifftiit 'w ks g 'Q law. qi fs- eigf Nl... 50!Student Life FAR LEFT: AFS student, Mike Spuehler, about his experience to Germany.

Their agen- da's included a trip to the Nelson Art Gallery for the art club and a trip to Wichita to attend the state conven- tion for DECA. Money from selling art supplies and the regularly collected dues paid for the many field trips taken by the art club. First they went to the Nelson Art Gallery to view the Chinese Art Exhibit. Next, in February, the mem- bers went to the Scholastic Exhibit at Crown Center. This exhibit was com- posed of artworks done by area stu- dents. ln the spring, the club traveled to the University of Kansas Museum of Art. Selling candy, jewelry, candles and coloring books were the ways DECA club members earned money for their individual accounts. Each member had their own account, which depending on how much they sold, paid for all or part of the field trips. A general fund was set up to pay for the em- ployers banquet held in the spring. Money for this fund came from the concession stand the DECA members ran during the basketball games. yas 'Wir Senior members attended the East- ern Kansas Regional DECA Confer- ence in the fall. Both junior and senior members competed in the State Competitive Convention in Wichita. After DECA members graduate, they can still participate in the club activities.

He is remembered as an exceptional- ly nice person, by almost all who knew him He often entertained staff and held parties at his house to show his appreciation for the hard working faculty and to make their faculty-prin- cipal relationship a little more friendly one. Mr. Huyck was said to be one of the most dedicated people to Wash- ington High School. He always in- spired loyalty to the school and to him. He treated everyone, students and faculty, with equal respect and was always a friendly person to be around. Whenever he had something unpleasant to say he would start with the expression, llI'm sure you appreci- ate the situation, because he wanted people to realize what the results of their mistakes would be so they would make sure it wouldn't happen again. One of his most remembered Mr. Bill trademarks was his bone crushing handshake. He always greeted people with pleasure and made sure they felt welcome. Mr. Huyck dedicated 20 years of hard work to WHS. His cooperation with other people, organization and hard work set the foundation for how our school is today. Everyone who knew him agreed with Mr. Mike Mears when he said, 'll don't know of a teacher, a student or anyone who loved Washington High School more than Claude Huyck. Todd enjoys his Work as principal Mr. Bill Todd, principal of WHS, de- scribes himself as a Upeople person, which makes his job one he enjoys very much. The faculty and the stu- dents especially, make his job very in- teresting. Upon coming to Washington, Mr. Todd set many goals. The first was the addition to the cafeteria. That dream soon became reality as it was finally finished this year. Another thing that Mr. Todd said he would like to see change is the sophomore orienta- tion program. He feels the need of a better program because he wants the sophomores to get more involved in school activities sooner. Another goal Mr. Todd has set for himself is a bet- ter student-principal relationship. He would like to sieze the idea of being just an office principal and become more closely related to the student body. The one thing Mr. Todd would like to see of the students is that they learn to expand their friendships be- yond their jr. high days. He would like for the students to reach out to other kids they don't know and get a new friendship started. l , 3 it ps T .

Mrs. Linda Saunders taught the course which dealt with relating to the translation and literary reasons for different religious beliefs. Exploring and learning the history and techniques of photography was the basis of the photojournalism course taught by Mr. Paul Carman. The first approximately four weeks were spent on the history of photog- raphy. Then, the darkroom techniques were learned before the students be- gan actually developing film and print- ing photos, 'tThis class deals with a lot of re- search for term papers and a lot of worksheets , said Mr. Forest Miles, teacher of Current Events in American Democracy. Many hours were spent in the library but for the history buffs and the hard workers it was an en- joyable course. Participants in the Production Work- shop class were responsible for mak- ing the sets, taking care of lights, make-up, etc., for all the school plays. When not busy with a play the stu- dents worked on individual projects said the course instructor, Mrs. Mari- lyn Mann. Applications for the course were taken and reviewed last spring before the students could take this course. Mass Media, taught by Mr. Paul Carman, was for students interested in learning the techniques and con- ventions of the mass media. Audio vi- sual equiptment of the schools was used to help with the visual media such as television, film and photogra- phy. The print and audio media were expressed through the study of news- papers, radio, records, and tapes. Another returning course, Man in War and Peace, was taught by Ms. Debra Woodard and dealt with mans warlike nature through the use of plays, novels, short stories, and po- ems. Kukal, ir.

Some teachers were new to the school but two of them had taught here before. One addition was English teacher, Mr. Bruce Gibb. He attended Western State College, the University of Kan- sas, and the University of Colorado. While in college Mr. Gibb majored in physical education and received a minor in English. When asked when he first became interested in English he replied, UI re- ceived a good background in English while in high school and l found col- lege English to be easier. Mr. Gibb enjoyed coaching football here and he said it was his most suc- cessful year in coaching. He has also coached cross-country, track and bas- ketball in other schools and he coached baseball here this spring. Mr. David Stershein, biology teach- er graduated from the University of Kansas where he majored in biology. 78fAcademics new teachers When he was asked how he liked it here at Washington he commented, 'lIt's great. l'm having a great time and I like the students here. Former Kansas City Chiefs player, Mr. lim Kearney started teaching physical education and Biology here this year. Mr. Kearney attended Prairie View A8fM College in Wharton, Texas. There he majored in physical educa- tion He played football three years with the Detroit Lions and 10 years with the Chiefs. The highlight of Mr. Kearney's ca- reer was playing in the 1970 Superbowl. Another addition to the staff was math teacher, Mr. Steven Samuels. Mr. Samuels attended Ottawa Uni- versity, the University of Kansas, and Donnelly College. Mr. Samuels has been teaching for 10 years and has received his masters join staff degree. Last year he was teaching at Coro- nado lunior High School.

Both Herbert Hoover, the 31st President, and jimmy Carter, President from 1976 to 1981, were called weak presidents, but each for quite differ- ent reasons. Herbert Hoover was President when the stock market crashed in 1929, but believed that giving direct aid to the people was not the prov- ince of the national government. Be- cause few local governments could afford giving aid to the people, his policies were blamed for fueling the Great Depression. 4 Carter was not faced with the Great Depression, but he was faced with inflation, unemployment, a grow- ing trade deficit and an expanding na- tional debt. Unlike Hoover, Carter be- lieved the federal government had a responsibility to the poor and needy in the country. He, therefore, expand- ed many of the government social services and was then blamed for fueling the recession because of poli- cies which were directly opposed to RIGHT: Knowing Pres. Hoover's personal fea- tures makes Rita Quinn, sr., Kevin Payton, sr., Diana Shoemaker, jr., and Tim Lewis, jr., con centrate better on American History. those of Hoover. The two Presidents further contrast- ed in their opinions of the role of government in big business. Hoover thought that if government left big business along, big business would take care of the country. Carter made attempts to control big business and loosen its grip on the economy. lronically, Hoover was replaced in the White House by Franklin Roose- velt, who created many of the pro- grams which under Carter were blamed for the Recession, and Carter was replaced by Ronald Reagan who reaffirmed many of Hoover's policies.

This year, students have the choice of creative writing, science fiction, short story, man in war and peace, or basic English to get their English credit required every year. Five literature teachers specialize in classes other than basic English. Mr. Bruce Gibb teaches science fiction and short story. He is also involved with football by being the assistant of interests football coach. Miss Debra Woodard, involved in being a sponsor for PEER, teaches man in war and peace, the only one who teaches this course.

L' A personal View of teachers taken Many students this year have en- rolled in a foreign language class, but only one this year has taken French, Spanish, and German at the same time. Michael Spuehler, sr. is presently taking all three. A personal view of the foreign lan- guages by Mike Spuehler was: UAS a student of the three languages' de- partments here at WHS, I have be- come acquainted with each of the teachers, however, each is different in many ways, even though they are all working in the name of education and foreign languages. These differ- ences are not only in their styles of instruction but in the personalities be- hind them. Miss Ham, German teacher, always tries to remain calm, even when she knows she's losing the battle. She has allowed me to work at my own speed yet when she feels l'm getting too far ahead of myself, she will bring me back to make sure my time wasn't in vain. Speed with restraint. Mrs, Stanley on the other hand, is always calm, battle or no battle. And like this difference also is her way of instruction. Mrs. Stanley takes things at a slower pace to insure that the material is being absorbed from the beginning. Finally, last but never least, is the ever popular, sometimes angry, and always hyper: Mr. Sylvester Morris. fNot to be confused with the de- ceased cat by the similar namej. Mr. Morris! method is aided by his trusty baton, with which he has devised a fool proof system of keeping his stu- dents on their toes and wide awake. Mr. Morris also teaches at a rather quick pace requiring the student to study at home, where as some could get by without the homework. Be- sides always being on his feet, com- bined with his dream of the English language to be changed so that the verb 'lto be shall be conjugated: I be, you be, he be, etc., he is truly a very dedicated taecher. Each teacher and method is certain- ly different, but successful, comprising one of the best foreign language de- partments in the district. Another course, although not usual- ly thought of as a language class, is English. Mrs. lsom, Mr. Super, and Mrs, Jeffries teach this language. An opinion of Mrs. lsom as a teacher from Pat Eberle, jr., 'lMrs. lsom challenges her students and real- ly encourages us to work our hardest. She's hard, but that's just saying she's really a teacher. Dortha Jones, sr., commented on Mrs. Jeffries teaching style. llMrs. Jeffries is a good teacher. She mostly lets you work at your own speed but also pushes you. You learn a lot from her. Mrs. Jeffries doesn't get mad a lot unless you push her too far and then she stops it. Darren Shelton's, sr., point of view on Mr. Super was 'Speaking from ex- perience as one of Mr. Super's for- mer students, l must recommend him for his unique and ever-changing teaching curriculum, which adds much needed variety to his teaching skills. mast siynsriis Q ,t i- f'?f ' A 5 N54 .JAI5 J Y 'PQ ' ei J - I kk.. - X .

Many students enroll in these classes willing to put the basic fundamental skills to prepare themselves to get a position in the job they pick to be apart of their life. Many students enroll in these classes at the beginning of their high school years and work to improve so they can move up to bigger and better things. 4-WM, it 4 f if 2?

Humanities, which was taught by Mrs. Diane Schowalter, surveyed his- tory through literature, philosophy, music and art. Lectures, taking notes, and going to required social events such as a ballet of the Kansas City Philharmonic were the main things stressed.

A series of debates was sponsored by the League of Women Voters to show the public the candidates' dif- ferent views on major issues. Issues such as military arms, inflation, econo- my, and foreign polices were de- bated. Reagan said he would like to increase our amount of military arms where as Garter believes that would just cause a dangerous and costly llarms race with foreign countries. Another issue was whether Ander- son should be allowed to participate in the debates. Reagan was for An- derson to join the debates and even hesitated to participate without him. The League of Women Voters de- cided that he must have 151, of the popular vote before he could join the series. Anderson had the 152 until the first of October when it dropped t si' A Q and never picked up according to some polls. When the debate came, Time magazines' poll supported An- derson at 16? even though other polls did not. Because of his rating in Time maga- zines' poll, Anderson said, ul am go- ing to the court of public opinion to express the outrage I feel, after not being allowed to participate. November 4 arrived, and, as ex- pected, Reagan won by a great mar- gin over Carter. Some Eastern radio and television stations even confirmed that Reagan had won the presidential election before the polls in the West were closed. Opposition to Reagan feared that the early broadcasts might influence the vote of the public in the Western states. f t ' M t' g . . ' ' ', , . H V . y ' ..r. ,r.. xxx i sf . Q . -as K .

These teachers cover such subjects as reading, math, english and really any subject a student may have trou- bles or problems in. The difference in these classes is that the subject is taught more slowly and carefully. We have made a lot of progress largely due to the effect and determi- nation of my students.

This year approximately 300 high school stu- dents from 30 schools and around 420 posthigh school students attend the program. Eighteen courses were offered to the first year students who attended them for nine to eleven months. Then, in the secondary program, posthigh students choose a more spe- cific aspect of their field of study, if offered, for their remaining eleven months. lobs were made available to the participants after 853 of the course was completed successfully. Tuition for a senior high school stu- dent vvould be paid for them in all courses except cosmotology which required extra expenses, Students in the posthigh program vvhere required to pay 1000 of the tuition. An AVTS representative, Bobbie lmmell, began coming to the counsel- ors' office every Wednesday morning starting December 10, She informed the interested students of the pro- grams offered, the requirements and answered any questions.

On November 17, 1979, a group of militant lranian students stormed the US. Embassy in Tehran. Sixty members of the embassy's diplomatic staff were captured and then held hostage. Later the Iranians let all the women but 2 and all but one black hostage go, saying these were members of oppressed groups within American so- ciety so they should not have to suf- fer for the crimes of the government. Fifty-two hostages remained in cap- tivity. When the US. government at- tempted to open negotiations, the militant students said they were upset because the former shah of lran had been admitted into a U.S. hospital. The students said they would ex- change the hostages for the shah and the wealth he had taken from their country. The U.S. government refused to exchange the shah for the prisoners.

When the hostages resisted, they were beaten. The beatings became less frequent as the time went on. Two women were forced to play Russian roulette with a loaded pistol at their heads. Some of the hostages were lined up against a mock firing squad. Marine Sgt. William Gallegos of Pueblo, Colo. was one of those hostages. He was also forced to make a statement criticizing the U.S. policy. Malcolm Kalp of Fairfax, Va. was kept in solitary confinement for 170 days. Another hostage was held for six months in a cell with the filth of centipedes crawling across him. The State Department reported that some of the hostages were fed only bread and water for weeks at a time. Others got only packaged food and powdered milk left over from the em- bassy storerooms. Some complained of being fed l'wormy vegetables. The hostages suffered a great weight loss. Punishments such as being told falsely their mothers were dead, mail that was sent but never delivered, and Christmas packages piled up and burned were also experienced while they were held captive. The captivity of the hostages went on for over a year. The shah died in Egypt and Iran came up with four points of negotiations. Included in these negotiations were: the shahfs money, lran's money in U.S. banks, America to stay out of their affairs, and the military equip- ment they had bought. President Carter didn't agree to these negotiations so talk went on for almost six months longer. A few hours after the inauguration of President Reagan, the hostages were released. The shah's money was given to the Algerian Mediation. The 51 hostages were given a 'lhero's welcome in both New York and Washington DC. which included tickertape parades and a welcome by President Reagan. rw' 'WE mdaopq, 5' NN im RIGHTi Working with his auto class is Mr. Mi- chael Snead.

Learning about the field of power, working with automobiles, building with plastic materials and working with metals were just a few of the things that were done in these classes. Drafting, air age, and materials and processes were also taught to the in- dustrial students. Materials and pro- cesses enabled students to rotate through different shops to learn to handle such materials as wood, metal, plastics, and earth materials.

Drafting, another class taught by Mr. Tharp, deals mainly with sketch- ing and drawing a version of shapes and objects. There are three levels of drafting taught in one hour. WHS offers one hour of printing and one hour of drafting, Mr. Tharp stated that he would like to see more students enrolled in the two classes. Another aspect of printing deals with photography.

' L A - ,S his u X Teachers continue at Washington Through the 50 years that have passed from Washington High School, many teachers have left, but there have been a few who stayed. During the changes of students and changes of classes, their willingness to be here the next following year has been kept alive. Here at Washington, five teachers have lasted through much of the 50 years. They are Mrs. Eda Howard, Mr. Lynn Wren, Mr. Edwin Hoskings, Mr. Don Wright, and Mr. Bill Hunter. Mr. Lynn Wren is a Biology teacher and has taught here for 11 years. He has a special attachment to Washing- ton because he graduated from here and also his father taught here. He feels that there is a fairly good stu- dent support in the extra curricular activities here and he enjoys working with the administrative staff. He said, 'll enjoy teaching and I like to see students accomplish things that I want and also what they want.

She found all of the projects were very well made. Mrs. Howard said that her attitude has She finds students changed throughout the years. She says her personality is much mellowed, and she is not as strict as she was in the past. She says the school has really grown to be very nice. Vocal music teacher, Mr. Don Wright has been teaching at Washington High School for just under 20 years. The first year he was here, he was head of the Christmas Music Program. His second year, he taught all vocal music groups. Under Mr. Wright, the choral program has been very successful. Last year the A Capella choir sang in the KMEA fKan- sas Music Educators Associationl in Wichita. This year, Mr. lohn Albertson, supervi- sor for music for the district, said the A capella choir 'is one of the best high school choirs l've heard in awhile. lf they keep developing they should do quite well.

'f grew 1' 'ww 60 beginning of the end The 1960 Freshman Class made Washington High School history by being the beginning of the end. The class of 64 was the last fresh- man class to attend WHS. All of this was made possible be- cause of the new Washington dis- trict's junior high schools, Arrowhead and Coronado. The new junior highs received all ninth graders that would have formally attended WHS. By the elimination of the ninth grade, WHS's total enrollment dropped by approximately 24 percent. Instead of the 1,389 students enrolled in 1959, there were 1,056 students that remained in 1960. Records showed seniors were the smallest class.

Compared to the majority of classes this one was unique. While in other classes students read everything out of a book, biology students learned things by seeing them first hand rather than having a teacher ex- plain it in detail. ln the classroom students were re- quired to take notes, do labs and keep data on each experiment. They studied the anatomy and phisiology of a fetal pig, genetics, and ecology, to mention just a few. When they studied plants, they went on a field trip to a local woods and collected plants ranging from al- gae to lichens. ,f . 'MM ff s ,,kk W ,,,, it?

The workload at Washington is heavier and harder than at the junior highs they attented. So they usually have homework every night. So what do sophomores do to re- lax? Some sophomores go to football and basketball games to take their minds of their school work. Other sophomores just like to sit home and watch T.V. or listen to the stereo, or go out with friends. Other sophomores are involved in school sports, so they spend a lot of the time after school practicing or playing in a game. l .f .Mr iii 5?

The rate of suicides among adolescents in- creases annually at a rate ten times greater than any other group. Psychologists say that between the ages of 14 and 21 a person makes the most important decisions of their life. Family tension reaches its highest point at this time, also. Suicide can also result from a broken home where the parents are either divorced or separated. Statistics show that many people who try to take their own life do not succeed in their goal. One Washington High School stu- dent who has attempted suicide in the past described her feelings and motivations hoping that it would benefit others. The student, who prefers to remain anonymous, discovered that she was adopted in the 9th grade. She took a bottle of mixed pills while she was at school and may have survived be- cause her teacher noticed a rash on her neck and sent her to the nurse. The frustration which caused her to attempt suicide made her have an in- creased dependency on drugs. This in turn destroyed some of her friend- ships which further increased her frus- trations. Her grades dropped and she said nothing seemed to go right. Two other times she tried to com- mit suicide. These times digging and scraping scissors into her arms. Now she says that she was very foolish and is very ashamed of the scars left on her arms. ABOVE: Peer members, Connie Kukal and Denise Buckmaster, jrs., discuss a peer session at a Peer meeting.

Classes Irs. have work, fun Your junior year in high school can be a very trying time. You are not a sophomore anymore and your senior year is still a year away. Many say being a junior is a lot of hard work and homework. Although being a junior seems like all work, juniors do find time to have some fun too. Finding this time to re- lax and have fun is rare but needed during the school year. At times anticipation fills the minds of juniors and makes time seem to drag by. Like a middle child, you are not the baby anymore nor the oldest and so you may be left out of many activities. Knowing next year you will be the llbig shots of the school makes your junior year somewhat more tolerable. e P. i Roxanne Parkison -i'i . ' . Terry Parks L' QD ..,k. .

His hobbies lean to outdoor activities- camping, water skiing, and quiet walks. He like to draw, enjoys music, and drama. Someday he plans on get- ting married. David says, l'l've enjoyed every year in school, but, on the same to- ken, Ifm very anxious to get out. I feel l've worked hard in school with this year definitely being the most dif- ficult. Being the top three of your class is an honor as Sheryl, David, and Elea- nor all agree. we ll ABOVE: An inside personality shot is shown of jazz band trumpet player David Dixon.

Class offi- cers for 1980-81 were Larry Beashore, president, Mark Stack, vice-president, Cindy Anderson, secretary, and Kristin lensen, treasurer. Throughout the year, the senior class officers have sponsored many events such as concerts, class parties, and magazine sales. These events were to help raise money for senior activities such as senior breakfast, commencement and the senior gift which each graduating class leaves to the school to be remembered by. This year, like years passed, the offi- cers have showed leadership to the senior class. l l l l LEFT: Treasurer, Kristen Jensen stops while on ner way to her math class, BELOW: Larry Beashore, president, Comments on a topic discussed in a meeting with other Class officers.

Every class following was required to also do this. This test was proposed because many students were graduating without a basic understanding of mathematics. The test itself had four problems for each objective. A student had to get three out of the four correct to pass the objective. The seniors who had not passed the objectives and were not elegible to enroll in another math class were required to take Competency Math. ln this class students received assistance on the objectives that they had yet to pass. l U -ii. ity, ..

But soon we felt at home with our football games, clubs, and homework. During our junior year, we made many plans for the future selecting class schedule's and we were gradual- ly being subjected to senior responsi- bilities. The teachers never let up on homework our senior year. In fact, there was more. We leave behind us many state championships, Homecom- ing, and junior-Senior proms. As each minute passes, we are closer and closer to graduation. As each year passes, we become the men and women of America. We stand at the door of the future. We are knocking at the door for new op- portunities.

The year, 1932, was a starting block for many traditions that would carry on for decades here at Wash- ington High School. Then the school was smaller in size and population. The classrooms were not as fancy, and they followed a ba- sic plan. This was also the year they built the auditorium and the gymnasi- um. The style of clothing was also sim- ple. Girls wore dresses, and the boys wore nice pants and shirts. This was also the year they started recording the events of the school. The Hatchet then was simple includ- ing only the classrooms and two group pictures of the students attend- ing here. TOP: The girl's gym used to be the only gym- nasium available. RIGHT: These students show the basic styles in hair and dress in 1932. LEFT: When the school first opened in 1931 the Classroom outline was simple and basic.

Semor class looks back As we journey along life's roadway, we will always carry with us part of our high school career in the form of memories. For us, these memories be- gan in the fall of 1978 with our arrival at Washington. We felt important al- though we were only sophomores. We had finally made it to the RBig Red . This was a year full of new friends and new experiences. Our second year at WHS, brought more new friends, new classes, hard- er homework, and a greater interest in sports. As a sheet of paper is torn into tiny pieces and scattered into the wind, the class of 1981, will be sepa- rated into many walks of life. There will be jobs for many, while others will go on seeking a higher education. But no matter what we do in later years, these are some of the events that will live on in our hearts to re- mind us of our three wonderful years at WHS. ,.an-...L lim Goodwin Todd Gordon Kelly Gragg Diane Graham Lorraine Grant Chris Graves IIM GOODWIN: Track 1,25 Wrestling 1,2g Football 1.

Throughout the year college ad- missions counselors came to WHS and gave information to interested students. This information included such things as expenses, housing and financial aid. 1490! Classes There were many grants, loans and scholarships available for those who qualified. Specified scholarships are for students who have met spe- cific requirements. Activity scholar- ships are for students who have special talents, outstanding leadership ability, or a record of superior aca- demic achievement. ... e ss Q .

One of the popular movies with the seniors this year seems to be llStir Crazy. When asked about changes in Washington High School, Mike Spuehler, sr., stated that The admin- istration has lost sight of their priorities. The ideas they have pro- posed are restrictive resulting in WHS being an after step of junior high in- stead of a fore step for college.

All males born in 1962, were re- quired to go down to their local post office and register. But the issue of the draft seems to be causing a lot of problems. Anti-war groups, church groups and other groups are setting up their protest lines in front of the local post offices with their signs in order to get their point across. Many people are against registra- tion fearing it could turn into the draft. But a lot of 19 year old men are facing their responsibility and tak- ing the time to register.

IuCo gives head-start Many seniors got a head start on their college education by attending classes at the Kansas City, Kansas Community College. Seniors who had a B plus grade point average, a good attendance record and needed no more than three credits to graduate were qualified to enroll. This gave them an advantage over those who stayed at Washington all day. They had the chance to see what college life was really like, from the atmosphere to the assignments. This was one way in which seniors could find out if college was really for them. If they found out that it wasn't they saved themselves much time, money and heartache by finding out before it was too late.

During our sophomore year, we experienced many new and strange things, finding new clubs, watching as- semblies, fumbling with lockers, stum- bling along with others to the cafete- ria, and supporting WHS in its activities. Finally our climatic year, we were seniors. Taking college and employ- ment examinations and filling out job or college applications kept some of us busy. Then, the excitement of graduation was nearing. The class of 1981 has accomplished much, but a bigger test is yet to come. Can we meet the challenge which our com- petitive world offers? Regardless of what the future holds for us, we will cherish our happy moments here. RUTHANN MALBON: Pep Club 2, D Team 2,3g StuCo 1,2,3g Key Club 3.

These are typical replies of seniors when asked about the college or field they plan to pursue. According to studies done by Sourcebook magazine, there will be many job openings in human services, health careers, and technology fields in the 1980's and early 199O's. Human service opportunities will be in bank- ing, insurance, real estate, and lithog- raphy. Opportunities opening in health careers will be physical and oc- cupational therapists, LPN's, dental as- sistants and hygienists, and health aides. In the technical fields, careers such as computer service technolo- gists, electrical engineering technicians, and environmental-protection special- ists will be needing trained people. Four area state colleges offer pro- grams beneficial to anyone going into the areas above as well as many oth- er fields. Emporia State has an excellant theatrical, drama, and music departments. The University of Kansas offers the best medical program be- cause its' students get to work at KU Medical Center. Wichita State has an excellant program in engineering and business. Kansas State is the only col- lege in Kansas that offers veterinary medicine. Remember that only one or two programs offered have been mentioned about each of the above colleges, but there are many other fine programs offered at each.

These tests give the college admissions offi- cers something in which to measure incoming college students. One of these tests is the Scholastic Aptitude Test. The SAT is a multiple choice test made up of separately timed verbal and mathematical sec- tions. Verbal questions measured their ability to understand what they read and the extent of their vocabulary. Mathematical questions measured their ability to solve problems involv- ing arithmetic reasoning, algebra and geometry. The SAT does not measure other kinds of abilities which may be oriented to success in college, such as special talents or motivation. Their high school records gave the best evi- dence of these.

'fs Y olleyball coaches new Starting the season with two new coaches, the 1980-81 Volleyball Squad completed the season with a victory over Ward. Head Coach Karen Ham and Assis- tant Coach Gary Olds faced problems throughout the season. The first prob- lem they encountered was the expec- tation of a winning season because the 1979-80 girls were League cham- pions. The squad then faced the problem of having only two returning letterwomen. The competition was another prob- lem the team faced. 'The girls faced tough competition during the season but the girls played well,'f said Head Coach Ham. The squad ended the season with a 7-22 overall record.

K I as JL 51 g, Wedding bells toll twice in Howard's marriage class ll do'. lYou may now kiss the bride.' The two brides, LeAndre Gibson and lanie lansen, looked lovely as they glided down the aisle to greet their groomstobe Rickey Griffin and Pat Mouley. The ceremony took place fourth hour, April 10, complete with a lay- ered wedding cake at the reception. The parents of the brides were re- lieved of the payment for the wed- ding since all the guests brought mon- ey as wedding gifts. Dressed in their Sunday best, the congregation slowly began to fill. You could feel tension and anxiousness of the onlookers as they awaited the arrival of the brides. As the organ music started, heads all turned because there they were: the brides to be. They looked lovely dressed in their long gowns. The grooms stood at the alter, however, looked worried. No more 'lbachelor life. There about to be llhitchedf' And so they were l'hitched and on their way to the re- ception. ilCongratulations'f and 'Wasn't it a lovely wedding? could be heard over the pouring of the punch and the crunching of the cook- ies. After the wedding, the grooms de- cided to leave their new brides. But the brides weren't too disap- pointed since the entire marriage ceremony was just a class project in Mrs. Edie Howard's Personal Adjust- ment and Marriage class. The classes involved were her Per- sonal adjustment classes including her first hour and fourth hour. The wed- ding was exciting and Mrs. Howard's students in her Personal Adjustment classes were asked to donate fifty cents to one dollar, to pay for the cost of refreshments. 4 ABOVE: Smiling as approaching the alter is fa- ther of the bride Dale Buckmaster, sr., and bride LeAndre Gibson, sr.

Choir does Carousel ln the spring the A Capella Choir presented the musical, Carousel. Auditions were held in mid-lanuary and after the principals were an- nounced rehearsal began. After seven weeks of practice it was ready for production. Carousel was written by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein ll and occured in the late 1800's. The two main characters are lulie lordan and Billy Bigelow. She is a na- ive mill girl and he is a carnival bark- er. They get married, and after a few months lulie finds out that she is pregnant, Billy dies soon after. When he reaches heaven he finds that he hasn't done enough good in his life to get through the gates. They allow him to return to earth to try to help his little girl, Louise, who is now fifteen years old. On his first attempt he didn't gain much ground, so they gave him a second chance. This time it is his daughter's graduation. He gets a chance to give both lulie and Louise their peace of mind. He succeeded in this quest, and the audience was left with the impression that Billy is al- lowed through the pearly gates to his own peace.

They grew up with these and with many other changes. Now we have 280 Z's instead of Roadste-r's and almost a car for any- one's liking. We have all kinds of en- tertainment. Looking over the past, we realize how much 50 years have changed us. These changes have improved our lives. Our school has been modern- ized and improved. Student's have changed in attitudes and in fashions. When we look back, we all wonder what celebrating our 100th year anni- versary, 2031, will be like.

The melody was from Cornell Uni- versity, but Washington's students and faculty members held a contest for the lyrics. Soon, we had the Alma Mater we all know now. We tradi- tionally stand at all home athletic events and proudly sing it. The second verse, last printed in 1947, has almost disappeared from most, if not all, memories. Far removed from all the tumult, Challenging the eye, Stands the school we all love dearly- Stands our Washington High. Chorus: Lift the chorus ever upward Mount it to the sky Red and White before us proudly: Hail to Washington High! Our Alma Mater has only been with us for 38 years but our school has stood proudly for 50 years. l'Hail to Washington High!
