The mass breaks down into smaller, laughing groups as friends gather in intimate circles. The unintelligible buzz of voices breathes life back into the building that has stood silent all summer. Students quickly adjust to their new routine yet it's easy to day- dream about last summer. On hot, humid nights, the area of Noland Road from 23rd Street to I-70 Hwy. serves as the strip, marked by McDonald's on one end, Minsky's on the other. Lines of cars crammed full of teenagers parade back and forth, up and down, yelling mes- sages to each other out rolled down windows. After a while, the kids pull over into deserted shopping center parking lots. They climb into the backs of trucks and onto the hoods of cars, drinking and talking, watch- ing the action unfold.

Carnie men wearing Ted Nugent T-shirts and three days growth of beard, push teddy bears and cheap plastic toys, as they yell their pitches into the gathering crowd. Some quickly lose their money and others end up carrying off small prizes to cherish. The smell of corn- dogs and popcorn floats through the air.

The atmos- phere continues, creating bold im- ages to remember. The teacher calls the minds back to class and the students wan- der down to the lunchroom. Trays are jammed into backs and bodies strain forward to snatch up the avail- able food. Students sit huddled to- gether, swirling the food around on their plates, talking with their mouths full, then returning for more. A bell rings, dismissing students back to their classes. Design by .Jeff Rsdei Feet pound down the hall back to class and the daydreaming re- sumes. Classes flow together and at 2:15 the doors are flung open as students flee the building. The rec- tangle full of cars starts up. They quickly untangle themselves and dis- appear down Noland Road. The monsters that swallowed up victims in the morning now return them home. That night the dreams come to life. Parties, movies, watching television, dating, cruising Noland, visiting Kansas and the good times roll.

Photo by Darrell Lucas - F Rolling with the good times Students don't spend all their time in the classroom. The battle of the sexes begins. Out-of-control tricycles steam down the length of the gym floor while students on the sidelines cheer them on. Once they have reached their destination, the contestants dizzily stumble off their vehicles and begin to frantically hurl whip cream pies at two surprised teachers. Next the two teams throw fra- gile eggs higher and higher towards each other. The eggs float through the air until gravity tugs them back to earth, breaking their thin skin and spilling their yellow blood. The penalty for killing an egg is to face the food-tasting contest. Faces screw into odd shapes as baby food is spoon fed to the murderers. The contest ends with a pinata and candy sprinkles the ground. Students swarm off Student Life Design by Jeff Radel the bleachers to grab a piece of candy and the excitement ends. School ends and the students turn into em- ployees. They trade in their notebooks to flip burgers for an evening. They trade in their concert T-shirts for polyester-knit uniforms. They trade in their free time for 553.35 an hour. After a late night closing, students arrive at school with blood shot eyes, slowly moving from class to class. Homework is squeezed in before school and after work, sometimes even during another class. Everyone begins counting the days till Friday. On the week-ends kids catch up on their social life. Then the whole process starts over on Monday morning. Natalie Rice x mg 6' In the lunch room senior Dennis Bonner and junior Angie Weinzatl wear blue and gold T-shirts in sup- port of Spirit Week.

Photo by Marc Plowmon Spirit grows New ideas increase enthusiasm by Kathleen Reimal The dress code for Spirit week held the week before the Truman game, Oct. 5-9, was comfort. The dress-up days were easy and unusual. The week started off with pajama day, people came in slippers, night shirts, robes and curlers, anything any- one slept in was seen that day. Tues- day brought sweats day and many peo- ple put on their most comfortable sweat-suit, tennis shoes and sweat bands. Sweats day was my favorite because it was the most comfortable, commented senior Kathy Taylor, head cheerleader. Wednesday let students show off their favorite rock group by wearing a T-shirt bought at a concert. Thursday was probably the craziest of all the days. Students and teachers dressed in costumes like gangsters, old ladies, punk rockers and even monstersg this was all for Halloween day. Senior Rick Pontalion said, Halloween day was my favorite, I wore this mask and nobody knew who I was. The week ended with the school members showing their school spirit by wearing the traditional blue and gold. The idea bf spirit week is to pro- mote school spirit, and if you don't promote spirit youire not helping the school,', said Jeff Rogers, senior. Some people don't choose to dress up for spirit week but that doesn't mean they don't have spirit. It's not like I don't have any spirit, comment- ed senior Jeff Johnson. I have, but my spirit is more like senior spirit. I have my tassle hanging in my car and I have a senior T-shirt I wear, but I don't happen to feel any spirit for school sports, probably because I donit like school sportsfi The cheerleaders provided more pep assemblies this year. Instead of only one like last year, there were three. The main complaint about the pep assemblies last year was that we hadn't had enough and it was all the same old things. This year we had one assembly for the first football game, one for spirit week and one for the first basketball game. We also made pinatas out of the colors of the opposing team and let people knock the dummies down. This had never been done be- fore,'i said Taylor. Showing off a new formation, varsity cheerleaders add spirit to the first pep assembly of the year. Photo by Marc Plowman Spirit Week! Pep Assemblies 11 mv - 'A x' I-HI . 7,1 og' ' off. 4 .D pus. Photo by Brenda Highfill Fun fair Labor Day weekend means trip into a realm of unknown past by Dan Miller During Labor Day weekend if you were looking for a friend, chances are you would probably find him at the Independence Square participating in Santa-Cali-Gon Days crafts fair. The fair is held every Labor Day Weekend to celebrate the place where the settlers began their trek toward the west by using either the Santa Fe, Oregon, or California trails. I really like going to Santa-Cali- Gon because you see a lot of your friends and you're not in school, said Sophomore Cheryl Null. The Santa-Cali-Gon Days Crafts Fair has been going on since 1940. The crafts fair was called off due to lack of interest in 1947. The latest streak began in 1973. Many different organizations have As daylight slowly dies, carnival goers enjoy riding the Octo- it nm. lvlusic Booslers Reima! fund raisers during this weekend. One Chrisman organization, the Music Boosters, sold coffee, tea and hotdogs. I think that the fund raiser went really well. We had a lot of support from peo' ple in choir and parents of people who went to Chrisman, said Mrs. Marilyn Bozarth, president of Music Boosters. If all works out, the crafts fair will be moved to the corner of 78 Highway and Holke Road because some of the merchants on the square believe that Santa-Cali-Gon crowds scare away business. The land at the corner of 78 and Holke was to be used for a new junior high or senior high. Just before excavation was to begin it was found out that five feet under the ground was solid rock. The land had to be put to another use, so the school board dona- ted the land to the Chamber of Com- merce. In an effort to raise money for the music department, Booster Club sets up a booth to sell refreshments.

No girl will allow anything to come between her and her Calvins' and even the poor little rich girl, Gloria Vanderbilt, is pushing her version of designer jeans. Since teenagers are willing to pay a high price for fashion, a pair of Calvin Klein, Gloria Vanderbilt, or Jordache jeans costs S40 to S60 in a retail store. The importance of wearing name- brand clothes seems to vary from per- son-to-person, said Mrs. Jennifer Mit- chell, psychology teacher. For some people it is a means of establishing a good reputation and becoming accept- ed, yet for other students it makes no difference what they wear. They are more concerned with being comforta- ble. av Another small style-war wages in the halls and classrooms: the preppies vs. the anti-preppies. Lacoste shirts, better known as Izods and distin- guished by an alligator on the left side of the shirt are seen in large quantities. Yet some students rebel against this uniform code of dress by wearing buttons bearing the motto, Save the alligator, eat a preppie or T-shirts pic- turing an alligator wearing a shirt with a human being on the pocket. Despite these methods to Stamp out lzod,', the alligator still rules. The hottest craze locally is the Rubik Cube, an innocent looking 254- inch cube with six sides, six colors, 26 smaller sub-cubes and more than three billion possible color combinations. The goal is to make each side of the cube one solid color and is accomplished only after much concentration and hair- pulling. lt took me about 30 minutes to work the cube. It can be very challeng- ing, but my advice is to just stick with it and don't give up trying, said junior Jeff Bennett. Other challenges taking up stu- dents' spare time are computer games. Pac-Man and Space Invaders are part of normal week-end entertainment, partly because of their low price, a quarter a game. Although nerve-racking to some, the Rubik cube and its variations maintain popularity.

Infact, students were willing to donate a quarter to attend an assem- bly for the campaign. During the assembly, the winners of the Crazy Legs contest and the winner of the Ugly Teacher contest, Mrs. Becky Hawksley, were revealed to the audi- ence. Students and faculty voted for their favor- ite legs or teacher during the week by dropping coins into jars in front of the cafeteria. To top off the assembly, chairman Debbie Morman planned a Battle of the Sexes. This consisted of a series of events including an egg- throwing competition and an obstacle course. The male and female competitors earned their positions by belonging to one of the top four homerooms which collected the greatest amount of money per student during the week. After counting all money raised during the campaign, 564435, Student Council sponsor, Mr. Marvin Lindmark, felt, lt was an excellent job by the Student Council. More money was raised than in many recent years! D -NE H, ,X-is! 1 J After the egg toss, varsity cheerleaders help the boys members of the losing team, put on blindfolds for a taste test experiment.

UNE IO. NDEPENDENCIE, MISSOURI Al.l. AMERICA CITY P0ii's,isi0N .POSTED Independence earns 2nd national honor by Galinna Newby or the second time in 20 years the city of Independ- ence received an All-Amer- ican City award. , During Youth Appreciation 5Night, April 17, former Kansas ,governor and current vice presi- fiilent of the National Municipal .!League, John Anderson, pre- fsented the award to Elbert Dempsey, vice chairman of the All-American City Committee, who accepted the award on behalf of the city. In 1962 the award was pre- sented to the city for ousting the William Sermon political machine, which had lasted 36 years, and founding a city char- ter government. Citizens participation in the Neighborhood Councils program earned Independence the 1982 award. ver the past 20 years, the citizens of Independence have become deeply involved in the restoration of their communi- ties through the Neighborhood Council program. Terry Snapp, the council's director of communications and training, said, I feel the All- American City Award is an indi- cation of the quality of the peo- ple residing in our city. The award speaks well for the spirit of cooperation and determination which exists in the hearts of our citizens. Snapp also said that the award is a people award. lf people don't care about their community, then nothing gets done, said Snapp. The Independence Neigh- borhood Council has been in existence for 12 years now. Dur- ing this time the organization has provided many services for the citizens of Independence such as block watch programs to prevent crime, health fairs where those who can not afford medical costs can receive checkups free of charge, and the Family Fun Fes- tival which promotes a fun dayn with a good family atmosphere for the residents of Independ- ence. he council is a non profit, philanthropic organization whose major purpose is to pro- mote the cooperation, communi- cation, and the organization of the citizens and the local government. Junior Aaron Woods said, Independence is a great city. It's a 'home town' city. I've been to a lot of cities and there is no place like Independence. in 20 years Independence has so many historical places, a good school system, and a very good neigh- borhood council. No wonder we got the award, said Michelle Wilson, sophomore. Several plans are being made to celebrate the achieve- ment throughout 1982. Bumper stickers and T-shirts are on sale and committees are being estab- lished to plan the activities for the coming year. Independence is one of eight cities to receive the All-American City Award. Thousands of cities were nominated, but only eight were chosen by the National Municipal League.

The championship was for outstanding young men and women throughout the U.S. Seven of the eight participants from Chrisman participated in the Intermediate group for ages 17 and younger. One, Jerry Huf- fman, participated in the Boys Senior Division which consisted of boys 19 and younger. United States Volleyball Association invited teams to the Nationals. Last year the team that Huffman was on won first and was automatically invited to return. This year Huffman's team took third place in the Boys Sen- ior Division. n spite of the air controllers' strike, many volleyball teams either arrived ahead of schedule or had alternate plans to get to the championship. As it turned out every team which entered arrived - a total of 99 teams. Although there were many play- ers and teams, many players felt that it ran well. Hundreds of teams from all over came together. It was excel- lent competition. Other players as well as other coaches gave help. There were scouts there - this made us work hard so we could show them what we could do, said junior Cris Wiley. Huffman didn't feel that things went as well as the year before. We didn't do as well as we should have. We didn't get along as well as the year before, he said. There werenlt as many good California teams there this year because they had to travel further. As it turned out this may have been to Huffman's advan- tage. He was chosen by other coaches as All American - the only person from this area this year. This was his third con- secutive All American honor. ther Chrisman students attending the champion- ship were Scott Barnhard, Nancy Davidson, Jimmy Hart, Debbie Morman, James McClure and Marla Swoffer. Not only did Huffman attend the Nationals in Nebraska, he spent three weeks in Syracuse, New York for the National Sports Festival. There his team placed with a bronze medal. From there Huffman was selected to train with the Junior National Team and tryout for the United States Junior World Team. He trained two weeks at the United States Olympic Train- ing Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Being away for vol- leyball all summer made it go faster. I improved a lot because I had the best coaches in the country, Huffman said. ext year the Junior World Championship is in Japan. Huffman has been asked to tryout for the team. Five of the same eight stu- dents attending the Nationals were invited to attend the Sports Spectacular at Graceland Col- lege in Iowa. Members were Wiley, Swoffer, McClure, Hart, and Barnhard. Swoffer was on the All Star Team for the Girls Gold Division. Her team placed second of six teams. Hart's and Barnhard's team placed first in the Boys Gold Div ision. Barnhard was awarded a S500 scholarship for his out- standing volleyball talents. Reagan breaks precedent O'Connor first woman Supreme Court justice by Jennifer Lyon resident Ronald Reagan set a precedent July 7, when he nominated 51- year-old Sandra Day O'Connor to fill Judge Potter Stewart's vacancy on the Supreme Court bench. In the 191-year history of the Supreme Court all 101 justi- ces have been men. I think it's a great example for future women, but I don't think her sex will make that much of a differ- ence, said Rick Pontalion, senior. Reagan's decision to appoint a woman was met with mixed emotions. Those conservatives who expected another male judge were disappointed. I think that in that important position, a man would have been a better choice, stated Dan White, senior. n the other hand, many students looked upon the decision as a landmark in histo- ry. Many consider this the most prestigious position that a wom- I i an has ever held. I feel that it was great for a woman to be placed in such a position by men, said Barbara Beckett, senior. O'Connor, according to US News and World Report, is a middle-roader, not too liberal nor too conservative. Formerly an Arizona State Court of Appeals judge, she attended law school at Stanford and then worked as a legal secretary because of the profession's prejudice against women. Some students were apa- thetic toward the appointment: Mike Robison, junior, felt that it didn't really matter, A woman can mess-up important decisions just like a man can, he said. Although she isn't an ardent feminist, she took a strong inter- est in women's issues as a legis- lator. Time pointed out that she would not be a shrinking violet and certainly would not be intim- idated by the fact that she is the only female on the Supreme Court. A FIRST - Time magazine's cover story about Sandra O'Connor being named to the Supreme Court is widely read in the school library. Photo by Kelly Kilgore Bits and Pieces Design by Jeff Radel by Kathleen Reimal here is one for cheerlead- ing, one for drill team and even one for debate, there is probably one for almost any- thing, anyone is interested in. What is this thing? Summer camp. Debaters Chet Meirerarend and Brian Nelson, both seniors, attended camp at Georgetown just outside Washington, D.C. Georgetown, a small Gothic-style town, has hosted a summer camp for debaters every year from mid July to mid August. Debaters from every state con- verge on the little town to learn all they can about the art of debate. The camp director, James Unger, is the god of debate, as Meirerarend put it. The main reason we went, Meirerarend said, was to learn about theory fthe bases of argumentation in a debate? and to get new briefs and evidence. They also learned the correct way to make flow charts and organize their files. Meirerarend and Nelson didn't do too well in the debates, mainly because of the different style of debate they use. Eve- ryone except those in the Mid- West, uses a different style. They use the 'speed and spread'g which means when a case is pre- sented the opposing team goes through and hits every point very quickly, Nelson explained. We use the 'lump and dump,' which means when a case is pre- sented the opposing team hits only the major points and delib- erates on these for a while. n l ot all summer camps are as- luxurious as Georgetown. At Georgetown, students toured Washington, D.C., played on campus tennis courts and plopped coins into the video games that filled the basement of the dorm. Drill team went through a week of practicing and perform- ing just like the military. An average day at drill team camp at the University of Kansas cam- pus was grueling. The girls were up at 5:30 a.m. to get ready for the day. Not only did they have to be good but they also had to look good. At 6:30 a.m. all were ready and out on the field for two hours of marching, this was all before breakfast. C S -Students gain experience P 'during summer programs After breakfast they went to pompon practice for two to three hours. After that practice the schedule allowed for a break, but the Beartrackers usually used this time to practice for the competition scheduled for the end of the week. Practicing routines came next. Everyday we learned five or six new routines, said Cara Rohaus, senior drill team member. Then we had to per- form them in front of the rest of the group. The team worked until 9 p.m. in classes and then they would practice on their own until they got their routines down to perfection. Rohaus said, I've never been through a rougher week in my life, but it was all worth it. At the end of the week when we got our two trophies we were all glad. The team earned two tro- phies, one for marching and one for dancing, and many individual ribbons were awarded for each girl's work in pompon, marching and dance. Lela Merical was picked to be one of 50 girls to go to Texas and perform on cable TV for the All American Drill Team. rill team isn't the only squad who worked hard, Chris- man's cheerleaders did too. The cheerleaders started working to go to camp last spring by selling candy, buttons, ribbons and sun- tan lotion. This was to help pay their way to camp. Camp cost S75 per person and we raised every last bit of it ourselves, said Kathy Taylor, captain of the varsity squad. This camp taught ways to improve school spirit, new pom- pon routines and different cheers. lt was a lot of hard work, said Kelly Kilgore, varsity squad member, but it was a lot of fun too. If writing is your bag, there is a camp for you also. Missouri Interscholastic Press Association sponsors a camp for people on high school yearbook and news- paper staffs. This camp teaches the staff members how to write copy correctly and to organize their staff. Five students from Wm. Chrisman traveled to the University of Missouri campus and spent six days being taught almost everything about modern yearbooking and newspapering. When asked why he went, senior Jeff Johnson said, I went to learn every new journalism tech- nique that I could and bring them back to use in our paper. There were offices held and awards won by members of both the Newspaper staff and the Yearbook staff. Senior Jordan Smith, editor of the Wm. Chris- man Envoy, was elected presi- dent of the MIPAQ but resigned the office because he had held it the year before. Senior Beverly Strike by Tom Cook aseball, hotdogs and apple pie: America,s favorites. Right? Wrong. Hotdogs and apple pie are still favorites, but as for baseball, June 12 marked the start of a gradual decline for the love of the 92 year-old game. June 12 marked the first of many days in the long and winding 50-day baseball strike. The strike was a final twist in the long and complicated bat- tle between the men who play baseball and the men who own it. The owners argued that they had to receive some player of equal value to the player they lost in the free-agent draft. The players argued that such a restriction would limit their movement. Who was to decide if one player is equal to another? they Questioned. Butting heads resulted in the first strike ever to interrupt a season. Disappointed fans were a common sight.

The owners? Both? Social studies teacher Gaylord Browne, who is a former baseball player, said, l would say both sides kept it going because neither side would back down from the position, but some of the players' demands were unreasonable.

Next summer when there is nothing to do, go to a camp, there is one for everyone. three settled. For baseball addicts it was the first good news since box scores disappeared from the sports page. Decisions then had to be made. How would the owners decide to finish the season? How could they finish the season so everyone would be happy? A split season? Everyone would be happy except the second place teams. They would want a chance to catch the first place teams. They would want a chance to catch the first place teams without having to start a new season, but a split season seemed to be the fairest decision to the majority of the teams. split season would mean having all the first-half winners going to the play-offs automatically, with the second- half winners playing them in a divisional play-off. The winners of each division would then con- tinue on in the original play-off structure and a chance to the World Series. A split season was agreed on. Aaron Woods said, l think it was ridiculous how they finished the season. It wasn't fair for teams like the Cardinals or the Reds. These two teams finished the season with the two best records in the Major Leagues, but yet didn't qualify for the play- offs. Second-half attendance records weren't all that revealing, but the players and owners both know it will be awhile before America's favorite pastime will be looked at the same way.

Visiting committee suggests ways to improve school by Debbie Morman o assess the quality of education at Chrisman, a committee of Missouri educators visited here October 25-27 for the North Central Association of Schools. The real focus of this re-evaluation, which takes place every seven years, is upon improvement, not accredi- tation. Though the visiting commit- tee suggested improvements in every department, committee chairman Dr. Huss's major con- cern was the number of students who leave school after fourth i hour to go to a job, He felt that since education was free and public, fewer students should be dismissed early so more would receive more of an education. Another concern was the sixth hour physical education for athletes class. The committee felt that these students should be taking academic courses such as math or social studies. This recommendation was followed and sophomores and juniors were not offered the class to enroll in for next year. Coach Ed Russell commented that he felt the decision was unfair because taking the course away hurts the students. The 40-member visiting committee reviewed evaluations and reports made by the staff, observed classrooms, and met with school committees. Through the evaluation, the school tries to update its philo- sophy and objectives. Parents, students and graduates also par- ticipated in the self-evaluation. f the recommendations ' Principal Thomas Herrick's main concern was to improve departmental organization. To solve these problems, Herrick named department heads who would work on department needs and concerns. Steering committee chair- man for the evaluation, Vice Principal Pat Wilde, said that the enormous amount of coopera- tion among students, staff, Board of Education and Central Office personnel was noticed and com- plimented by the visiting commit- tee. She said that even though the evaluation is over, the on-go- ing process of carrying out the recommendations will be taking place during the next several months. by Anne Schwenk hree more states needed! June 30, 1982 marked the deadline for states' ratification of The Equal Rights Amendment. No state has ratified the amendment since 1977, when Indiana became the thirty-fifth state to do so. A Miss Dorothy Bales, counse- lor, and a member of the state board for The Equal Rights Amendment feels, lt will need to be reintroduced to Congress, but, it will eventually pass, However, little by little, the women's rights movement is achieving its aims from court- houses and legislative bodies to private businesses and homes across the United States. State legislatures and both state and federal courts are affirming the rights guaranteed in the constitution. This has affect- ed a wide array of subjects including domestic relations, employment, education and housing. ln three states - Washing- ton, Maryland and Pennsylvania - courts have ruled that any distinction in the law between :he rights of men and women is Three states too few ERA fails to meet June 30 deadline i I l l i i i 1 i i I l impermissible. ln contrast, courts l Bits and Pieces Design by Jeff Radel in Utah, Virginia and Louisiana have found that women can be treated differently under the law if state officials can prove a le- gitimate interest in doing so. hroughout the nation women are receiving certain rights they had previously been denied. In Hawaii, a woman is no longer required to take her hus- band's name at the time of mar- riage. ln Pennsylvania, women now share in ownership of household goods. In lllinois when a couple divorces, either parent is eligible for custody of the chil- dren and in Colorado, girls can play on public-school teams once the domain of male students. Senior Kathy Hustace said, lt is just not fair to deny some- one the right to participate in sports because of their sex. lf the guys can play, the girls can play too. ln some states revisions have been made in older state statutes. Employment laws in 38 states now contain minimum- wage standards that treat the sexes equally, 22 states prohibit discrimination against pregnant women in hiring, training and promotion, and 19 states have enacted gender neutral sta- tutes regulating meals and rest periods in the workplace. Senior Debbie Billingsley said, lf the girls can handle the same job as a man, they should be paid the same. Independence police officer Mike Cano said, lim all for it, I think if they are physically capa- ble they should be given the same duties and opportunities. But in the police force most of the women officers are not. There is no way a 90-pound woman can stop a 250-pound man in a bar fightf' n housing, 24 states now spe- cifically ban discrimination against women and 17 forbid discrimination in housing on the basis of marital status. Junior Shannon Humphrey said, I can- not believe it would be possible for someone to deny a woman a place to live just because she was not marriedf' Giving women special help is also a goal of many states. At least six states - including Texas, Ohio and California - have adopted affirmative action programs to widen opportunities for women in state-government jobs. Others, like Maryland and Illinois, give female state employees special breaks by providing flexible hours, part- time work and job sharing. Five states, including Pennsylvania and California, provide benefits to a female head of household who must temporarily leave the job market for domestic reasons. uring the term that ended July 2, 1979, the United States Supreme Court ruled that women can sue for damages, if they face employment discrimi- nation by universities or members of Congress. In pre- vious terms, the Court struck down a number of state laws that blocked wives and widows from collecting welfare and pen- sion benefits available to men and from claiming a share of a couple's property. lronically, this year marks the appointment of the first woman Justice of the Supreme Court. Throughout the week of January 20 dedicated ERA sup- porters promoted and publicized the amendment in hopes of rati- fication. lt may awaken a few people and increase chances to pass the amendment, said Bales, but she doubted it would change anything. EVALUATING f Visiting committee members review the self-evaluation study prepared by faculty and students.

The four men next rushed forward, automatic- weapons spewing bullets as they advanced. Security men were so shocked that they failed to respond quickly and offered little resistance. It was October 6 in Cairo when the excitement broke loose. Just eight years ago from this day President Anwar Sadat had established himself as a world leader by striking out across the Suez Canal. A parade had been planned to commemo- rate the occasion. Tanks and trucks and troops had begun early to prepare for the event, yet by the end of the day the troops had proved useless. Sadat died two hours after the attack of bullet and shrapnel wounds. I think Sadat's death was a real loss to world leadership. The new leader will be more cautious and will make more comprom- ises, said senior Randy Pratt. he situation began with a relaxed Sadat sitting in the review stand between vice-presi- dent Hosni Mubarak and Gener- al Abu Ghazala. Ghazala explained the capabilities of the Voters approve tax transfer by Beverly Felter lthough Oct. 6, 1981, will not be recorded in the history books, it was an important day for the lndepend- ence School District. On that clay an overwhelming 91 percent of those voting approved the transfer of the debt service tax to the operating fund. As a result, some S,S882,000 was trans- ferred to the operating fund. ln addition, the district will receive another 3S150,000 from the state level because of the increased operating fund. What does this additional money mean to the district? According to Dr. Robert Henley, superintendent, 'LOur main con- cern is to keep the status quo. As to where this money goes, the transfer will bring 49 cents on the dollar to the operat- ing fund.

At first students were not sure if Sadat was dead or alive. They excitedly stopped one another in the halls to ask one another if they had heard any news. The stability of the United States-Middle East relations has been affected by this tragic inci- dent, but only time will reveal to what extent, said senior Annette Carnahan. Once it was discovered that Sadat had died, students and teachers began discussing the future. Would Sadat's death trigger another war? Would the U.S. become more heavily involved in Middle East relations? Would the new president, Hosni Mubarak, be able to bring about peace? Everybody will say what a terrible thing Sadat's death was but you have to expect that. The Middle East is the most violent region in the world, said senior Victor Callahan. 5 cents to the building fund. ach of these funds has a specific purpose. The teachers fund is used to pay salaries for teachers. Although some of this will be used to pay for raises as inflation increases, the main objective is to have enough money to pay all the salaries of current teachers so none will have to be fired. As a result, class sizes will not increase. The incidental fund pays utilities and supplies. The building fund pays general main- tenance bills. According to social studies teacher Mr. Roy Keeland, who worked for the transfer, educa- tion oriented groups led the campaign to have the transfer passed. Among them were PTA, teachers and administrators. Their campaign consisted mainly of calling people and encouraging them to vote. r ll .,,- Y A - ft, ..

As with all youth move- ments, entrepreneurs knew a gold mine when they saw it. First and foremost of the Punk entre- preneurs was Malcolm McLoren. His group, the Sex Pistols fwhich he formed around Sid Vicious and Johnny Rottenj, would become the preeminent Punk rockers, and his Kings Road shop, Sex, soon rechristened Seditionaries, would serve as Punk headquarters. There, Vivienne Westwood turned out bondage trousers ftheir two legs joined at the knee by a fabric strip approximately a stride longl, and T-shirts bearing mes- sages. unk style did not change much, even with its increase in followers. The look that had developed from dustbin liners could still be defined in terms of short spiky hair, often dyed a perverse color or colors, dark or, oddly, tartan trousers, a bit on the short side, usually stained or ripped, a leather jacket or the equivalent, not in the best of shape and festooned with any- i l nois.

Through the 1977 Jubilee year in England, honoring Eliza- beth's twenty-fifth year as queen, and a great opportunity for dis- play, irony and subversion - the Punks remained an idealogically forceful bunch, committed to unremitting ugliness, and to a brutality equal to the ugliness and brutality they perceived in their society. They visited their clubs fthe Roxy in Covent Garden and the 100 Club on Oxford Streetl and followed their groups fThe Sex Pistols, the Damned, Siouxsie and the Ban- sheets, the Clashl. But Punk - true Punk, that is - like so many cults before it, could not last. lt was the media that, much as it has served to create it, finally did it in. By the end of 1977 the true Punk spirit had dissipated. They were generally perceived by the public as being a public enemy. Those among the original Punks who did not give way to indul- gence or violence wondered what, if any, relevance something called the New Wave held for them. ew Wave is a label resisted I by some, misinterpreted by others and misunderstood by those who have been bom- barded by its misuse. The term was coined by Francis Giroud in 1958. Originally referring to a fresh, youthful spirit, it spread to reflect any cultural happening viewed as new, rebellious or hip. One English band that cap- tured the New Wave sensibility and is currently experiencing popularity with Ant music is Adam and the Ants. According to the group's leader, Adam Ant, When I began, I was so disillu- sioned. There had been nothing fresh since groups like Roxy Music, Alice Cooper or the New York Dolls, and then there was a group called the Sex Pistols. From more or less the same background as l was, they turned the business upside down. Ant 'music started more as an idea than a reality. We wanted something that wasn't saying 'Everybody's worthless, so let's be violent,' which Adam and the Ants have never advocated, but purely from the way we looked, some people assumed we did. . A .fs .ri Stones in oncert by Jeff Radel , ocking their way through Kemper Arena in down- town Kansas City, Dec. 14 and 15, The Rolling Stones played to more than 17,000 screaming fans who filled the arena to capacity both nights. Hundreds more were left to sit at home and dream about attending the Stones' concert. Scalpers fulfilled some peo- ple's dreams but their prices ranged from S50 to S150 as compared with the S17 standard ticket price for those who were lucky enough to get them. s part of their North Ameri- can Tour in 1981, the Stones visited 40 U.S. cities. Many more cities would have jumped at the chance to have the Stones play their music to sell-out crowds. The group has been hitting the pop charts for more than two decades with such hits as Ruby Tuesday, Paint lt Black, and Get Off My Cloud. At their K.C. stop, the Stones opened both concerts to the sounds of Under My Thumb. For the fans, the action lasted for two and one-half hours. One of the main attrac- tions, besides the music, was the gyrations of lead singer Mick Jagger. Although Jagger is in his forties, while on stage he moved constantly, never seeming to tire. Throughout the concert K.C. rockers heard lt's Only Rock and Roll, Shattered, and nearly 20 other famous songs. Both nights ended with an encore of Satisfaction, during which nearly 10,000 colored bal- loons showered down on the audience. Then it was over.

This was by far the most excitement for a concert that Kansas City has seen. To complement their North American Tour, the Stones released a new album, Tattoo You. This included such hits as Start Me Up, Hang Fire, and Waiting On A Friend. During the tour, this album went to the top of the album charts and Start Me Up headed the sin- gles chart. Many fear that this was the last major tour the Stones will give, though it has been rumored that they might go on tour in Europe next year.

Smith ook burning, or censor- ship activity, has not struck the Independence school district as it increasingly has elsewhere in the nation. However, the last year brought a controversy here that questioned the rights of a teacher in the classroom. It all began in April 1981 when the Independence National Education Association CINEAJ asked the school board for a written guarantee of their rights to teach certain controversial material. The board drafted a policy they called the Academic Freedom clause. It reads: Academic and professional freedom is essential to the teach- ing profession. Dyfferent points of view should be a part of the instructional programs when judgment of the professional staff deems the issues approp- riate to the curriculum and to the maturity level of the student. Academic Freedom is the right of the learner and hisfher teachers to explore, present, and discuss various points of view in the quest for knowledge and truth. he clause still stands as dis- trict policy, but many local parents were not happy with it. They converged on board meet- ings and demanded that parents be allowed more of a role in determining what's to be taught and what isn't. An Academic Freedom Committee of con- cerned parents and educators was appointed to look into the matter and come up with a more pleasing clause. The committee examined similar policies of other school districts in the state and nation, then called for a pub- lic meeting March 1, 1982 so it could get more input. Parents, teachers, and some students turned out en masse that evening, overflowing the school board meeting room, and more than 30 speakers voiced their opinions about the policy. Generally, the educators in the crowd didn't want the clause tampered with. But more than an equal number of speakers pushed for an amendment allow- ing more parent input in schools. One parent presented the board with 500 signatures backing an amendment to that effect. ater in the month, the Aca- demic Freedom Committee recommended the board adopt a specific grievance procedure for disgruntled parents and the fol- lowing amendment: Academic Freedom is not to be interpreted as presenting ideologies or philosophy which is contradictory or diametrically opposed to the mores and values of the community as interpreted by the Board of Edu- cation. The board passed the amendment, but changed the word L'presenting to advocat- ing. Was this much of a differ- wording ence? Again, dozens of parents thought so, and showed up to tell the board so. State Senator Robert Johnson addressed the board in a letter, saying, there are certain subject matters that are not appropriate in certain grade levels, and I feel that they should not be dealt with at all. Therefore, I feel it imperative the word 'presenting' be used. Nevertheless, the final clause and amendment contains the word advocating One par- ent threatened in April to organ- ize an anti-advocating group, but school officials say nothing of the sort has materialized yet. During the controversy, some said the clause really wasn't necessary, that teachers already have enough leeway. Former INEA president and his- tory teacher Gene Hoppe dis- agrees.

Williams was charged with killing Nathaniel Cater, 28, the latest victim in the slaying of 28 young Atlanta blacks. Williams' trial began December 28, 1981. During the trial, prosecutors called wit- nesses to link him to six other victims. The strongest evidence against him was textile fibers and dog hairs. These matched with other fibers found in Williams' apartment. Bloodstains found in his station wagon matched with two of those stabbed. An obvious pattern was set with characteristics of the vic- tims being black, from broken homes, being seen with him and being asphyxiated. Revolution by Jeff Radel In the small Central Ameri- can nation of El Salvador, civil war and mass chaos continued to thwart government efforts to bring the nation back together. Outbreaks of murder, assassina- tion and kidnapping occurred regularly. Political differences of opin- ion were the main causes for the fighting. The three-way struggle for power is between the Chris- tian Democratic Party which is now in control, the Marxist-Len- inist guerrillas who want the nation to become socialist and army leaders who just want the nation to get back on its feet. Elections held early in the year surprised Salvadorian offi- cials and world leaders because almost 95 percent of all eligible voters cast a ballot.

Break by Debbie Morman While some students were soaking up the sun down south and abroad, others were racing for fallingl down the white slopes of Colorado over spring break vacation in March. A group of 10 seniors, six girls and four boys, left Saturday morning at 2 a.m. en route to the Rocky Mountains. The group, chaperoned by teacher Steve Davidson, drove to Colorado in a van and a truck and stayed in Vail, one of the largest ski resorts in Colora- do. They skied a few days at Vail and drove to Beaver Creek for a day on the slopes. On another continent, Ms. Nancy Martin, French and German teacher, chaperoned seven French students, six girls and one boy, in Europe. The group started on the tour, which was spon- sored by Culture Heritage in Pennsyl- vania, in Nice, Italy. They spent a few days in Italy then headed up and across to the Riviera and Paris, France, where they spent seven days. Mrs. Pam Buttler, Spanish teacher, flew to Mexico with four Spanish Club members and spent eight days travel- ling from Mexico City to Acapulco. The neatest thing about this trip, Buttler said, is that the kids are in a foreign language classroom of sorts for 24 hours a day. After a few days the students caught on to the language pretty well. ton the Colorado ski trip stayed in a condominium a mountain.

Dancing an Irish jig, sophomore Kathy Bridges and senior Rick Pontalion smile enthusiastically. ' Troupe reforms after 2 years to perform for young and old by Leslie Anglin Hoofers was the brain childi' of Mr. Ray Ettinger when he found that the music department needed a dance group for the musical Oklahoma in 1974. The group was inactive for two years because, There were no guys in the past years who wanted to try out, Ettinger said. In every group he has to have four guys. He felt that he had a lot of good talent so he decided to give Hooters another shot this year. Since some students had been asking, he knew there was an interest. That is when he knew this was the year that Hoofers would perform again. Hoofers is a select group of stu- dents who like to dance and can quick- ly pick up dance routines. They per- form at various places: elementary schools, retirement homes, and they have been asked to dance at the Old Missouri Town festival at Lake Jacomo in October. Ettinger thinks it will be a good experience to dance at Old Mis- souri Town rather than Santa-Cali-G- on. Santa-Cali-Gon has become so commercial that the show just doesn't go over good, said Ettinger. Elementary schoolchildren have re- acted well to the group's performan- ces. I like to get in front of children and perform, said sophomore Kathy Bridges. Doing the Charleston, a famous dance of the 1920's, jun- iors Verna Eastwood and Shirley Rutledge kick their legs. Older people at retirement homes also enjoy the Hoofers' dances. I like dancing for the older people best, said junior David Reed, because they're more attentive. They get involved in the performance and seem to appre- ciate it moref' Hooters perform all kinds of dan- ces from square dancing to disco. Since they need a different costume for each dance they have to raise a lot of money to get the costumes they need. This year they sold window decals and sta- tionery. All the sales went fairly well. They found they had a lot of support from people who wanted to help this new dance group.

Clearing tables during the Kiwanis Club chili supper, senior Beckey Jensen does her part to keep everything clean. Key Club Design hy Dehhie Morman eil Key Club helps M C H Q y : area community by Jeff Radel To achieve their goal of benefitting the community, Key Club members engaged in several service projects. The Independence Kiwanis Club, which has the objective to serve and develop leadership skills in the city's youth, sponsored the Chrisman Key Club chapter. Organizing the projects and leading the members were seniors San- dy Jones, president, Leslie Foster, vice- president, Becky Jensen, secretary, and Karl Ploeger, treasurer. Summariz- ing the organization, Ploeger said, Key Club is a worthwhile organization be- cause it does something good for the community and it keeps its members interested by having several activities. To benefit the community, the club raised S200 for the Independence San- itarium Childrens' Ward by trick or treating. They also rang bells at K-Mart for the Salvation Army, and they spon- sored a float in the Halloween Parade. Commenting on the clubs' activities, senior member Keith Paden said, I feel Key Club has benefitted the school and community through its worthwhile acti- vities. Sponsoring the club for his four- teenth year, Mr. Marvin Lindmark said that this year's group of students was excellent. He is also a member of the Independence Kiwanis Club. To do something different, Jones wanted to make the club more well- known in the school. Commenting on this she said, I have been in the club for two years and it seemed that most students still did not know what the club was or what it did. To try to meet this goal, several activities were spon- sored for the members. Members took a hayride at Homestead Farms, Nov. 13, and on Feb. 13, participated in a lock-in at the YMCA. At the lock-in, 45 people participated in swimming, vol- leyball, and basketball. Ploeger said, This was by far the best activity that we have done all year. To raise money for the club itself, a popcorn machine was set up at foot- ball and basketball games. This raised an average of 330-S40 a game. At one game, the profits were given to the school. Reflecting on this senior mem- ber Jeff Rogers said, It's neat to earn money and then give it to something that benefits others.

The work on the an- tenna began last year and was com- pleted this year. When repairing television sets the students rely on the owner to tell them the problem. From there they look for possible reasons and test with an oscil- loscope and digital volt meter. lf a schematic is available it makes it easier to find the problem. They learn the proper way to use screwdrivers, wrenches, soldering guns, oscillo- scopes, and digital volt meters. Electronics Club is unable to repair a television if a picture tube is defec- tive. This is because the tubes are expensive and they do not have the A . l L, .ff 1 money to invest in a television. Senior Ron Phillips tells of an excit- ing event when the club was working on a small 9-inch black and white tele- vision. Jerome Freers placed a screw- driver in the AC voltage input. The screwdriver flared and burned, melting it down. The class jumped with aston- ishmentf' said Phillips. lt is suggested future students beware, electricity is a shocking class, joked Philips. On Oct. 8 Electronics Club visited the Independence Blue Valley Power Station. The members of the club car- pooled down, and met at the power plant.

Young athletes learn about God by Sherry Vochatzer FCA is a lot bigger than in past years because more people are chang- ing to a Christian life and are becoming closer to God, said co-chairman Bar- bie Bates, junior. The 40-member group has been veryactive. A kick-off dinner Sunday, Sept. 13 started off the year. It was really fun getting to know everyone,', said junior Angie Wienzatl. Most meetings were at Mr. Warren Landess' house, but there were also some meetings at school. During one of the meetings at school a film was shown on alcoholism. For Parents night in the school library, a film was shown on Christian football players. Activities included helping PTA with the Chili Supper. I heard PTA was having trouble getting people to help. So I went to Mr. Herrick and said that we would helpf' said Bates. To raise funds the club sponsored a basketball clinic in the gym. Tickets were S2 a person and the money went toward sending someone to leadership camp. Leadership camp was in Terre Haute, Indiana June 8-14, 1981. Bates and senior Bonita Copridge attended the camp. Wienzatl attended a camp in Northfield, Minnesota Aug. 2-8. At the leadership camps, they learned how to lead the huddles of their school along with different ideas for teaching. I real- ly learned a lot and I was glad I had the chance to gof' said Copridge. Only nine students joined FTA. The reason for so few members is too many other clubs. People would rather spend their time at a paying job, not an educational job, said Mrs. Susan Kiss- linger, sponsor. Five of the nine members go to area grade schools several days a week to assist teachers. I give spelling tests, pass out papers and help with make-up work. I also watch the class when the teacher is out of the room, said soph- omore April Givens. I really like helping the grade school kids. It really helped me with my decision to become a teacherf, com- mented sophomore Becky Eaves. Meetings were once a month in the library.

Science buffs Small group goes spelunking by Anne Schwenk A lot of clubs have faced a dra- matic change due to the mounting apa- thy among students. We plan activities because people want them, but it comes time to participate in them and we lose a lot of support,'l said senior Annette Carnahan, president of Sci- ence Club. Among some of these group activ- ities was a cave exploring and spelunk- ing trip to Columbia led by Mr. Dennis Stewart, one of the club's sponsors. It was really a lot of fun and Mr. Stewart's knowledge about spelunking was very much needed and appreciat- ed, said Carnahan. A pot-luck Christmas dinner was held in the school cafeteria for all mem- bers. We had a really good turnout for the dinner, said Carnahan. We had a guest speaker on UFO's that everyone found very interesting and knowledga- ble. At a club meeting April 6, Mr. Edward Bowman, a life-long astrono- mer, spoke to members. Bowman used to have the largest hand-made tele- scope in Missouri and is also an expert on Jackson County history. We have had really good groups, but jobs and school activities really cut down on the amount of people partici- pating in our activities, said Carnahan. 4 . Although the club had planned to visit the Whiteman Air Force Base, when they called to confirm their ap- pointment they were told they were all booked and did not have any room for them. Similarly, they also tried to sche- dule a tour at Marion Laboratories, but were told they did not give tours for students. All in all it has been a good year, I only hope that next year with the in- coming freshmen that the amount of apathy that is present today will be able to be decreased and that more stu- dents will be willing to become involved in their school and the activities it offers, said Carnahan.

The Conference, at the Marriott Hotel in Chicago, Illinois, Nov. 20-22, built motivation for educational training in leadership and vocational career roles. Thirteen states were represented. To pay for their activities, such as the regional conference, DECA had three sales projects. The club gave students an extra incentive to buy their Nestle candy bars by planning a draw- ing. Students wrote their name on the back of the wrappers to award prizes: two Sam Wilson's dinner tickets, two theatre tickets, candles and stuffed ani- mals. DECA members selling over one case of candy had their dues paid. In addition members sold candles. The top four candle salesmen received cash bonuses. ln cooperation with drill team, DECA sold Santa Claus Stock- ing Stuffers. The profits from these pro- jects paid for sending the members to the State Election meeting, District Leadership Conference, and helped de- fray the expense of the Employer-Em- ployee Banquet. Preparing for the State Election, Spencer found to be a time-consuming process of memorizing the DECA hand- book. She was required to know the history, goals and duties of DECA. Candidates have a slim chance of winning if they have not held a previous office in DECA, said Mrs. Sandy Bark- er, sponsor. Students must be outgo- ing, well organized people. Spencer ran for vice president, but did not win. Getting a job is much simpler with the aid of a D.E. coordinator, said Spencer. It is almost guaranteed you will have a job in the second year. Four of the twenty DECA students received recognition during the Metro Kansas City Competitive Events at Crown Center, Feb. 23. These students are Melanie Williams, Raechell Smith, Mylinda Jeffers, and Beth Quick. Quick, Smith, and Jeffers represented DECA at State Competitive events March 21, 22 and 23, at The Lodge of the Four Seasons.

One of the clubs' first activities was a trip to the Renaissance Festival that is held near Bonner Springs, Kan- sas every fall. At the Festival we walked around and looked at all of the crafts. We saw jesters, people performing on tightrop- es, and even fire-eaters. Everyone bought a turkey leg later on, said Amy Nicholson, president. Before the Christmas holidays German Club went caroling at the ln- dependence Sanitarium. We sang to the little babies in the nursery and walked up and down the halls singing carols. Most of the people seemed to really enjoy our coming. Afterwards we went to the Magic Pan, a restaurant on the Plaza, and ate crepes, said Danetta Schnetzer. Seven members went to the But- tonwood Tree during the restaurant's Octoberfest to sample German dishes. The restaurant had large antique- type, wooden tables and lots of pewter. They gave us a room to ourselves and each of us had a different dinner. Half- way through the meal a man playing an accordian came to our table, said Ni- cholson. Another German dinner was host- ed by junior Janet Harold and her fami- ly. We served dishes like sauerbrat- en and knockwurst, then after dinner my mother, whose parents came from Germany, showed pictures, said Harold. Crafts fair, art show successful Despite a membership of less than six, National Art Honor Society man- aged to remain active. The most ambi- tious project, an Arts and Crafts Fair, was Nov. 22 and 23 in the cafeteria and raised 8500. Several local craftsmen were featured and many people from the community attended. The cafeteria was filled to over- flowing, said Josephine Curtis, presi- dent. The work was of very good quali- ty. One man brought wood clocks and another man brought some real nice music boxes. There was a great variety of items, said Gary Jones, treasurer. Other activities included a Christ- mas party, Dec. 14, in the art room. Members brought punch and cookies and exchanged gag gifts. Several members took part in the NAHS Art Show May 16 in the school library. To become a member of NAHS, students must show at least 10 worthy projects at this show. New and old members then attended the Waldo Astoria Dinner Theatre May 13. V .zg-af-ti, at-'Fw -' f f .' L 1 e XZ..

Homerooms collect more than . 551000 for exchange program by Debbie Morman The annual AFS Week, March 22- 26, raised approximately S1100 for next year's AFS student. Starting off the week was the sell- ing of fellow classmates in a slave auc- tion. Students in homerooms were sold as slaves and were to perform such duties as carrying books of their owners for the day. The money raised from the sale of slaves went to buy bonds for the homeroom. There was close to 35186 raised from the slaves, said AFS pres- ident Natalie Rice. On the second day, Tuesday, bal- loons containing messages were sold and continued to be on sale until Thurs- day. The balloons, which sold for 75 cents, were delivered during fifth hour Friday. Rice said that she would like to see balloons become associated with 4 AFS. There were 200 balloons sold. Wednesday was bake day, during which homerooms brought in baked items and sold them to their class or other classes. Some classes did some unique things, said Rice, such as one class that sold popsicles in the foyer. The class competition took place Thursday. The senior class won with a total of 34352. Three containers were set outside the cafeteria during lunch, one representing each class. Silver money added points and pennies de- ducted points. The last day of the campaign raised the most money of the week. The top three classrooms who raised the most money participated in an Almost Any- thing Goes competition during sixth hour, Friday. Those top rooms were: Mr. Don Ferguson's, Mrs. Helen John- son's, and Mrs. Dorothy Fisher's. Rank- ings were based on a percentage of students in the class and the amount of money donated. The assembly raised S165 from a 25 cent donation by each student attending. The competition was won by Mr. Ferguson's class. Also on Friday, other foreign ex- change students from the area visited. The students spoke to many classes and then stayed to watch the assembly. Those students were Caren Birk from West Germany who stayed with junior Raechell Smith, Evelyn Gruemble from West Germany who stayed with Chris- man AFS student Tracy Church, Pana- giotis Bilio from Greece, who stayed with senior Jeff Rogers and Maria Ze- beldia from Spain who stayed with jun- ior Lori Wanbaugh. 35151111 AFS - Bottom Row: Tracy Church, Dan Kin- Leon, Paula Gipson, Dawna Sue Tuttleg Row 3: sey lTreasureri, Natalie Rice fPresidentJ, Bruno Phuong-Dung LG.

A resi- dent of Adelaide, Australia, Tracy spent her senior year with the family of Patti Gard, senior. At home in Australia her family consists of her mother Pam, her father Reg and her sister Dennise. Because Australian schools con- centrate more on work and don't allow as much free time, Tracy didnlt know about American Field Service until she signed up for it. She said, Two of my teachers at home were in the adult chapter and they asked me if I wanted to apply. I put in an application, went through bulk interviews and was finally 44 AFS Student Design by Jeff Radel chosen. Tracy said she didn't encounter any prejudice because of her nationali- ty, just a little teasing. She said one of the new experiences that was impor- tant to her here was being introduced to the church because she had never been to church before. One of the differences she noticed between American and Australian teen- agers was the amount of freedom teen- agers have here. More teenagers here own cars than in Australia. She said her favorite thing about this country was historic things. Lots to see. Due to the difference in the quality of schools, Tracy felt pressured to make good grades here. She said her favorite class was Family Relations. She thought it was valuable because It taught me a lot about myself and how to cope, she said. It supplies informa- tion that everyone can use at one time in life, if not every day. Immediately following her return to Australia, Tracy said she planned to see all my friends and visit all the famil- iar places, after showing my loved ones how much I love and missed them, of course. Her more long range plans included becoming a registered nurse and getting engaged to her boyfriend, with marriage a lot further down the line. What are the memories Tracy will take back to Adelaide with her? In her own words, my friends, family and cruising Noland Road. XLL ,, .

Money makers down from previous years by Debbie Morman Attending the Rennaissance Festi- val in Bonner Springs, Kansas Oct. 4, 11 members of French Club spent the day venturing back to the fifteenth cen- tury. Members played games which were popular during the Rennaissance, viewed plays and took part in a giant chess game in which people represent- ed the playing pieces. The biggest at- traction was the many different food booths, with all members trying some of the exotic foods. To experience French cuisine, 28 students and some parents dined at Le Jardin in Overland Park, Dec. 11. The dinners, which ranged from stuffed chicken to an assortment of fish, were served in four courses. The highlight of the evening was the preparation of cherries jubilee. At every table cherries were set to flame while working in dif- ferent liquors. I thought the meal was just fantastic and the dining atmosphere was really nice. What I really enjoyed was the good looking waiters and the live piano music that was playing, said junior Becky Moore. To end the even- ing, the restaurant presented miniature red roses to all the girls. Having only two money-making projects, the club depended on the carnation sale to help with the club's expenses for the Foreign Language Fes- tival.'After a slow start the first week, they continued to sell the flowers Mon- day and Tuesday of the following week. The club sold about 400 carnations, giving the club a profit of about 3175. Miss Nancy Martin, sponsor, said, lt's too bad more students couldn't have taken part by either buying a flower for himself or someone else. The problem seemed to come from too Selling carnations for Valentine's day, juniors Liz Odom and Kim Lawler work during lunch. many other financial pressures such as senior prom deposits, senior announce- ments being ordered the week before and junior class rings and the students were just drained of money. I under- stand but just feel it is unfortunate that everyone who might have wanted to purchase a carnation could not. Mar- tin added, Neither money-making proj- ect was very successful. Again this was due to other projects around school draining people's money. Spending countless hours before and after school practicing dance rou- tines, comedy shows, and preparing for booths are just a few of the things those involved with the Foreign Lan- guage Festival encountered in prepar- ing for the night of Feb. 27. The pro- gram was the same as last year, with a carnival in the new gym and a cabaret show in the Little Theatre. French Club 47 embers dance Burrito dinner sells out for first time in history by Beverly Felter Frantically putting the final touches on their costumes, members of Span- ish Club come flying out of classrooms next to the cafeteria. Although they are not professionals, they entertain for the Burrito Dinner year after year. Beginning in September, about 25 Spanish Club members stayed after school one or two days a week in order to learn the dances. At first the new- comers were a little nervous, but soon everyone was joking and having a good time like old friends. Senior Jim Ingram said, The most fun dancing was during the practices. We all really enjoyed ourselves. As Oct. 30 came closer, people grew more familiar with the steps and more sure of themselves. On the big night the mood was hectic. First of all, everyone involved had to set up tables. Then the dancers ran through the whole program. After that they got into their costumes and ate. When the public arrived they went through the line buffet style, picking up a plate with a burrito, refried beans, salad and a dessert. Dances performed were La Raspa, La Chihuahua and La Jesusita. Afterward those dancers and officers that didn't have to be at the football game put the cafeteria back in order and cleaned dressing rooms for classes on Monday. Before the dinner, club members and Spanish students had been busy selling tickets. Mrs. Pam Buttler, spon- sor, commented, My two first-year classes were really active. lt's hard to differentiate between the class and the club. Even the ones who, for one rea- son or another, aren't in Spanish Club help out. For the first time in the his- tory of the Burrito Dinner, no tickets were available at the door. Total profits from the 215 tickets sold amounted to 388. December was also a somewhat busy month for the club. At the Dec. 3 meeting Mr. Phil Legg demonstrated how to make God's eyes, called ojo de Dios in Spanish. Buttler said she thought it would be something creative and fun to do. Later that evening, 27 members and guests went to Annie's Santa Fe. Some chose to order a few a la carte items while a few members ordered The Conquistador. Afterwards small groups of members toured the Plaza to admire the Christmas lights. Spanish Club .u'Y 'v 'Qs ....

The carnival consisted of both food and game booths run by students. Spanish Club sponsored a taco booth, French Club sponsored a crepe booth, and German Club sponsored a knockwurst and sauerbrauten booth at the festival. I was impressed with the food booths. lt didn't taste like something someone pulled out of a can or any- thing like that. You could watch them make the food right in front of you and it really did taste good, said Robert Sweazy, senior.

The pies weren't really pies but instead red jello and whipped cream mixed together. By the end of the night my face was stain- ed red from the jello and my shoes were filled with the stuff. We wore plas- tic caps and goggles but they kept fal- ling off. lt seemed like almost everyone there got in one good hit, said Stacy Fey, junior. About 80 foreign language stu- dents and their teachers, Miss Nancy Martin and Mrs. Pam Buttler, spent time before and after school preparing for the festival which also featured a cabaret after the carnival in the little theatre. The theatre was packed with standing room only left. The German polka, Can-can, maypole dance, and several Spanish dances were perform- ed by the students. Everything went really well. lt was a lot more organized than in past years. This year we actually made a profit and before we have only broken even. It probably went over so well because of all the publicity we got from our pos- ters. We had a lot more parents and students come than ever before and the support was really great, said Amy Nicholson, senior.

Honor societies experience year-long lack of activity by Karen Alexander Being accepted into Quill and Scroll - the journalism honor society - means being dedicated to more than just journalism classes. Potential mem- bers must have an overall S average, with at least an S average in journalism or publications. Even with these re- quirements, 11 juniors were inducted into Quill and Scroll at the Publications Banquet at Howard Johnson's, May 12. Quill and Scroll had a concession at the Homecoming football game and another at a basketball game. Money raised by the two concessions went toward paying for guests' meals at the Publications Banquet. A picnic at lake Jacomo May 5 drew about 25 students in spite of the rain that day. We had fun, even though it was raining, said Mike Brown, Quill and Scroll sponsor. We all went out and played frisbee in the rain. There were more activities planned, but feve- ryone wasj very tied up with putting out the newspaper and the yearbook, said Brown. Everybody was worried about deadlines. At the Publications Banquet, led by President Jeff Radel, the 12 new members took the Quill and Scroll oath. The editors of the Gleam and the Envoy for the 1982-83 school year were announced, and each was given a scho- larship to a summer journalism work- shop. It is no easy accomplishment to be admitted to either French or Spanish Honor Society. To be eligible for Span- ish Honor Society, a student must be in his or her third semester of Spanish classes, and must have earned three semester E grades. For French Honor Society, a student must be in his or her third semester of French classes, with a previous semester grade of E and at least an S+ average for the two preced- ing semesters. Since neither of these societies are really activity-oriented, nothing much was done during the year. Miss Nancy Martin, French Honor Society spon- sor, said she would like to see more activities, such as going to the elemen- tary schools and presenting programs of French songs, dances and skits. Mrs. Pam Buttler, Spanish Honor So- ciety sponsor, believes that her society needs no additional activities. She said, They've worked hard to get where they are, and that's enough.

The club donated S500 to the Inter- national Rescue Committee Feb. 13 at the Sheraton Royal Hotel. The money was presented by Julie Wyatt, presi- dent, to Senator John Danforth. The committee uses the money in an effort to help eliminate world hunger. We had to wait for Senator Dan- forth to get there since he was on very tight schedule. Finally he came in and introduced himself to each of us. The money was presented to him and he made a short acceptance speech. He told us how much he appreciated it and how much it was needed, said Jeff Rogers, senior. National Honor Society also donat- ed S175 to the Burlingame Memorial which was used to purchase a table. Fivehundred dollars worth of audio- visual equipment was also donated to the school. Selling M 84 M's, hot plaques, and two-year calendars remained a con- stant year round activity. The M 84 M's sold the best. I think we ordered a few too many but we eventually sold them all and made over a S1000 profit. This is the last year that we can sell candy at school, so next year's organization will have a much harder time raising money, said Sandy Jones, treasurer. Eleven members of National Honor Society went on an overnight field trip to Branson, Missouri Oct. 3 and 4. I've never had so much fun at a school function. We left on Saturday morning and drove down to Branson. We stayed at the Ozark Mountain Inn that night. I mean we're talking classy place, The next day we went to Silver Dollar City. We ate until we were sick and rode all the rides before we headed home, Wyatt said. Wyatt was presented with a Cross pen and pencil set May 19 at the Awards Assembly after being voted Outstanding Senior member of Nation- al Honor Society. An end of the year picnic was held at Lake Jacomo for both new and old members.

National Forensics League Design by Debbie Morman Wyatt to state Nelson earns top FL honors by Jeff Radel Competing in 21 tournaments, in- cluding novice, champion, and districts, the debate team received several awards. At the first major tournament of the season, the Greater Kansas City Suburban Association Conference tournament at Oak Park, Feb. 19 and 20, many squad members fared well. In the champion division, senior Julie Wy- att placed second in Poetry. In the novice division, senior Karl Ploeger placed second in Boy's Extemporane- ous Speaking and sophomore Michelle Wilson placed first in Dramatic. For conference I worked my hardest and this is the best I've done. This is the award that I'm most proud of, said Wilson. In the debate section, debate team of junior Kim Bessmer and soph- omore Jackie Everett went to quarter- finals. At the National Forensics League Tournament March 12 and 13, the de- bate team of seniors Jeff Radel and Brian Nelson placed fifth. At this tour- nament we debated like studs, com- mented Nelson. At the Missouri High School Activ- ities Association Tournament March 19 and 20, Wyatt received Excellent ratings in both Prose Reading and Poe- try. She qualified for the state tourna- ment in both events. This was the highlight of my entire three years in debate, said Wyatt. The state tourney was held in Co- lumbia, April 16. Wyatt received sec- ond place in Prose Reading. To my knowledge, no other forensic's student from Chrisman has ever double-quali- fied for the state tourney, said coach Cindy Bateman. During his three years of competi- tion, Nelson has amassed a total of 506 NFL points. This enabled him to re- ceive the distinguished NFL Double- Ruby degree. This is the second time in her two years of coaching that Bate- man has qualified someone for this degree. It was hard work, but it was made easier because debate is some- thing that I value highly, said Nelson. At the NFL Banquet at Stadium Inn, May 8, Bateman announced awards that were to be given to team members. Varsity lettermen were Wil- son, senior Victor Callahan, Wyatt, Nelson, and Radel. Novice High Point Earner was Bessmer with 332 NFL points. Advanced High Point Earner was Nelson and High Point Earner at Graduation was also Nelson with 506 NFL points. Outstanding Debate and Forensics Student was Nelson. The William Chrisman Chapter of the National Forensics League cele- brated the Golden Anniversary of its charter. Our chapter dates back to Independence High School from which Harry Truman graduated, comment- ed Bateman. -C' ,I ..Q' wif . x-,,, , f .ef in - 'L' X x x E 5 f , , N ,Www WW' V.

League encourages those . interested in government by Kathleen Reimal The Student Political League is like a haven for people interested in politics, stated SPL President Victor Callahan. The 43-member club has been ac- tive for two years and this year they have made their mark on the political scene at Chrisman. SPL in coordina- tion with the history classes arranged for Congressman Ike Skelton to speak at Chrisman, Oct. 8. About 200 history students and members of the SPL were let out of their third hour classes to listen to the views of Skelton. Skelton was invited earlier in the summer to visit Chrisman. Skelton said that visiting high schools is one of his high priorities. The fourth hour bell ended the meeting, when Skelton told his listeners he wouldn't keep them from their lunch. I was very impressed with his comments and his knowledge of defense matters, said Callahan. SPL invited prospective congress- man John Carnes to Chrisman to talk to a group of history students, Feb. 3. Carnes stated that young people are going to have to start watching the issues, pointing out that people are going to be hurt if they don't get in- volved in government. When you don't vote you don't get anything, stated Carnes. The SPL also had a new sponsor this year, Mr. Greg Stephens. Stephens took over the position from Mr. Roy Keeland who resigned last year be- cause of personality conflicts with some of the members. The main reason I took the sponsorship was so I could help give students who are interested in politics, a working understanding of the political scene, commented Ste- phens. Besides having Skelton and Carnes come and speak at school, seniors Victor Callahan, Randy Pratt, Brian Nelson and juniors Beth Tignor and Terry Norman participated in a model U.N. meeting at Park College, Nov. 5. The delegation was judged out- standing and all were awarded 31,000 scholarships to the college. Most how- ever had either already been accepted or are planning to go to another col- lege.

E . Students' letter causes store closingg - new resolutions bring controversy by Anne Schwenk Highlighting a busy year for StuCo were issues concerning the publication of voting results for next year's officers, an open lunch program, and the clos- ing of the StuCo-sponsored store. All candy was removed from the store, Wednesday, March 10. Mr. Mar- vin Lindmark said the student council- run, student store made profits of 352,000 a year offering Chrisman jac- kets, T-shirts, shorts, car stickers, school supplies, chewing gum, assort- ed candies, and other items. The school store also operated the cafeteria soda pop machines. The removal of these items was the result of a letter sent to the Missou- ri Department of Education by senior Jeff Johnson. Johnson's letter ex- plained that carbonated beverages and certain candies were being sold at Chrisman in apparent violation of the federal ruling. If the school had been Student Council Design by Jeff Radel caught not complying with the federal regulations, there would have been a chance that it would have lost cafeteria food subsidies totalling S110,000. I am upset that it is closed. The store was here for the students and now it is gone, said StuCo president Sherrie Kelley, I think he fJohnsonl has a right to his own opinion, but he took it too far. I am sure that a lot of students agree with me. In defense of his actions Johnson said, I realize a lot of people are out of pop and candy during lunch, but what I did will be advantageous in the long run. The government is clamping down on waste and fraud, and if they found out on their own, we would have been busted worse. The school has a choice between the pop machines and a hun- dred thousand dollars a year for the district's entire lunch program. Representatives passed two con- troversial resolutions in February. One of these proposed by senior Jerry Huff- man, stated that students should be allowed to wear shorts to school begin- ning in March. Since this would amend the school rules regarding appropriate school attire, the final decision was left to Principal Thomas Herrick, who said he would probably not approve it. Shorts are designed for outdoor wear. I don't think they add anything to the school, he said. The second resolution presented by Johnson, allowed the publication of elections results. In opposition Kelley said, There is no re'ason to humiliate a student in front of the entire school - if a student loses by a landslide, he or she deserves to be spared that embarrassment. The paper doesn't seem to realize that they are dealing with high school elections, not an election for a town or city. There is quite a difference between the two.

Rolling down the hall, barking like dogs, singing in the lunchroom, having seizures, and dressing up in clothes that clash were all part of the fall initia- tion, Nov. 10. The spring initiation was May 11. Six members were initiated, bringing the total membership to 46. Due to conflicts in scheduling the gym, the annual C-Club versus faculty basketball game was canceled. C-Club didn't have many activities this year. Because the people in C-Club are so involved with other activities, it's hard to get everyone together, said Kevin Prine, C-Club president. One activity they had was going out for pizza at Pizza Inn on Noland Road after a Com- ets' soccer game. About 20 members carpooled to Kemper Arena after meeting at school. lt was fun being able to go to a sports event with a club of athletes, said. Shannon Humphrey, junior. We didn't have too many events this year, so l'm glad we got to the Comets' game. After spring initiation they had an Ianj activity night in the gym. Members had a pot luck dinner and participated in volleyball, football and basketball games. Though he felt they should have been better organized, senior Donnie lVlcGowen, secretary, enjoyed being in C-Club. lt could be better if people got involved more, said McGowen. A new fall initiate, junior Stacy Fey feels they need to have more activities and thinks next year will be a better year. Fey looks forward to being able to initiate the new members next year. Another fall initiate, junior Tracy Cornwell wonders if it was really worth going through the initiation, because they did not have that many activities lt would be better if it was more organ- ized, Cornwell said. C-Club's only money maker is Ula: pop machine in the weight room. This year they raised somewhere between S600 and S700 according to Coach Dick Dunbar, who has been C-Club sponsor for eight years. The money was used to help replace part of the S3500 worth of video equipment that was stolen from the coaches' office Jan. 29. Sporting her initiation garb, senior Karen Craig tries ito collect money during lunch. fPhotos by John McQuiI' C Club 65 Time hinders activities Athletic participation is the main problem by Sherry Vochatzer For the past several years M Club has not been as active as usual. Origi- nally, the club was for girls who were interested in sports, before the district provided interscholastic competitive sports for girls. Now, with so many dif- ferent sports for girls, M Club has trouble working its socials around sports schedules. We didn't get to do as much this year because the volley- ball team went to state, said President Nancy Davidson, senior. Members did find time to plan and participate in initiation, a Halloween party and a Christmas party. To try out the girls had to complete a list of skills including those needed for volleyball, basketball, softball and track. lt wasn't as hard to get into M Club as I thought it was going to be,', said sophomore Joleen DeWitt. During initiation, prospective mem- bers were not allowed to shave their legs or underarms for two weeks. At the end of this time, they had to wear dresses and tennis shoes to school, exposing those areas. After school that day, veteran members smeared the traditional eggs, peanut-butter and may- onnaise in the hair of those being initia- Showing her skill, sophomore Sandy Nicholson dribbles down the court.

I Love M Club was written on their faces and arms with lipstick and fingernail polish. Wearing diapers and togas, they were taken cruising on Noland road. The.most embarrassing part was when we had to stand on the corner of 39th and Noland and sing and dance, said sophomore Lisa Grubbs. Beginning their Halloween party, Oct. 14, downstairs in the gun range, members competed in a costume cons test. Junior Dee Montenguise, dressed as a fat man in overalls and a mask, won. None of us could figure out who she was, said junior Lynn Cartee. Next, they went on a scavenger hunt in the Chrisman neighborhood. The scavenger hunt was a new idea and turned out to be really fun, senior Bonita Copridge said. The week before Christmas mem- bers picked names out of a hat. All that week they brought goodies and pop to put in their Christmas pal's locker. Then before school Wednesday, Dec. 23, they ate a breakfast at McDonald's on 24 Highway. After they ate break- fast, they exchanged presents and learned who their secret Christmas pal was.

Photo by Chris Landess S Negaard becomes new sponsor, p ' no longer requires away games by Julie Gaulter This year after a lot of thought and consideration Miss Doris Negaard be- came sponsor of pep club. Negaard took this position because no one else was willing to sponsor the group after the resignation of Mrs. Becky Hawks- ley last year. Negaard said, lt was real- ly hard to adjust at first, but everything went fine. The experience l've had sponsoring Palmer's and Truman's pep club has helped out a lot. The tradi- tions are different from school to school and it took some time to learn Chris- man's. Girls must spend much time and work hard to be in pep club. They must follow certain rules and regulations to remain a member. President Carolyn Nichol said, It's really a lot of work, but if I hadn't been so involved I think the year would have dragged by. To become a cheerleader or mem- ber of drill team, girls must have at least 60 percent of the possible pep club points and to earn a letter they must have 90 percent. A pep club member gets points for wearing her uniform to school, being peppy and cheering at games, and go- ing to meetings. After past problems with pep club going to away games, the officers and sponsor decided not to require any. Part of this was because girls were los- ing interest and enthusiasm was dying. Negaard said, I really think this has strengthened pep club and helped them to make decisionsf' The girls who have remained ac- tive are exceptional, Negaard said. These girls have stayed involved and are really neat people. The support of the cheerleaders, officers, and drill team have established a good back- ground for the upcoming sophomores and ninth gradersf, Earlier in the year, four members lost their membership because they attended required football games out of uniform. Two dismissed members, jun- ior Raechell Smith and sophomore Rob- in West, contested the dismissal and were granted hearings.

Walker attend- ed the Oct. 16 varsity football game out of uniform. The other three, according to pep club officers, attended the Oct. 19 required JV game not wearing colors. Negaard said, The hearings are for the girls who were kicked off to explain why they were at the game out of uniform. Pep club officers made the decision to dismiss them. Former members were allowed to rejoin pep club second semester and could retain the points they accumu- lated during first semester. Former member Raechell Smith was the only one to rejoin at second semester but had to attend all the remaining games to earn 60 percent of the points so she could try out for drill team. Nichol felt the year went extreme- ly well. l have been in charge of mak- ing announcements, hanging up pos- ters, and organizing activities. i Vice president Linda Ault said, I was busy with the planning and organ- izing of all three homecomings. I had to find the materials, build the floats with the help of pep club members, get the nominations for attendants, and organ- ize the practices. I think pep club had its good and bad points. But I do know that Miss Negaard has been a very good sponsor and enthusiastic, she said. :r.:..-- J- I PEP CLUB f Bottom Row: Heather Sackewitz, Kelly Kil- gore, Julie Gaulter, Kathy Taylor, Debbie Billingsley, Terri Herl, Stacee O'Dell, Row 2: Ms. Negaard lSponsorl, Rhonda Embree, Carolyn Nichol, Tina Martinez, Linda Ault, Dianne Cornish, Miss Wilson lSponsorlg Row 3: Lori Wagner, Christy Tompkins, Wendy Shalton, Stacy Fey, Tammy Foster, Jolene DeWitt, Debbie Wilcox, Janell Beas- ley, Kim Lawler, Courtney Witherspoon, Tracy Adolphsenl Row 4: Michelle Parr, Karen Craig, Stacey Crawford, Tammy Bettis, Sharon Jackson, Lisa Faith, Denie Hedges, 7 Pep Club Design by Jeff Radel Debbie Mahuring Row 5: Lela Merical, Rhonda Kendrick, Sherrie Kelley, Kelli Summers, Cheryl Beikman, Jackie Everett, Chris Holmes, Robin Rogers, Row 6: Melody Carey, Linda Thomas, Cara Rohaus, Sarah Dumsky, Tina Fenton, Karen Hanaway, Kendra Ross, Row 7: Kim Web- ber, Kelly Smith, Cheryl Blackburn, Tammy McEntire, Jeri Shinn, Sheila Young, Christie Turk, Sandy Adams, Top Row: Pam Rainey, Susie Hudson, Nanci DeLeon, Marlo Robison, Pam Manselle, Debbie Philips, Julie Maxon.

The varsity squad received one excel- lent ribbon along with seven superior ribbons, a spirit stick and a first place on a pompon routine evaluation. Sta- cee O'Dell, junior, said, I thought we did really good at camp and we learned a lot of different cheers. The varsity squad raised money for the summer camp by selling suntan lotion and oil, selling candy, and wash- ing cars. For the second year in a row, nine yell leaders were picked right after foot- ball season. Five seniors and four jun- iors were chosen on ability as well as attitude. Keith Paden, senior, said, I was glad I made it because it really added to my senior year. Judges were the varsity cheerlead- ers, Miss Doris Negaard, pep club spon- sor, Mrs. Jennifer Mitchell, drill team sponsor, and Mrs. Judy Denman. Kevin Prine, senior, said, I was hesitant to try out but I'm glad I did. Their uniforms consisted of blue coaching shorts and a blue and gold shirt. They were required to attend all home games and some of the away' games. Captain Kathy Taylor, senior, said, It was difficult showing the yell leaders to do some double stunts and formations but it was really worth it. They all listened well and caught on fast. Co-captain Julie Gaulter, senior, said, At first I felt uncomfortable doing the double stunts with the guys, but after a few practices it was a lot of fun. Also attending the University of Missouri camp, the junior varsity squad received six superior ribbons along with a spirit stick. I thought camp was exhausting, but it sure was worth it, said junior Tracy Adolphsen. Captain Kim Lawler, junior, said, I thought having the varsity and junior varsity going to the same camp showed a lot of spirit and a lot of enthusiasm.

The girls sports cheerleaders attended camp at Missouri Valley College in Marshall, Missouri. They earned three excellent ribbons and one superior rib- bon. Captain Stacey Fey, junior, said, The most exciting and thrilling games we cheered at were the volleyball state championship at Hickman Mills. Wendy Shelton, junior, said, I was really proud to be cheering for the girls sports teams. Cheering for the wrestlers are four varsity wrestlerettes and four junior varsity wrestlerettes. They tried out in front of and were judged by the mem- bers that graduated and Miss Doris Negaard. They washed cars to pay for new cheerleading shoes. Captain Deb- bie Mahurin, senior, said, The reason for new cheerleading shoes was that the old ones were not made well and didn't last long. The wrestlerettes attend both home and away meets.

Commit- tee members Melody Cary, Sherrie Kel- ley, captain Rhonda Kendrick and Lela Merical prepared routines for half time performances and parades. New uniforms were purchased to wear in place of the regular pep club uniforms. I like our new uniforms be- cause it makes us stand apart from the pep club. We worked hard to get where we are and I feel we deserve this recog- nition, said Kendrick. New metallic pompons were also purchased for the football games. They were a solid gold and a solid blue. Of the many routines performed this year, the bag routine was the most unique. Each girl wore a large bag of blue, pink, red or purple covering her whole body. They performed to the theme from Superman at the Tru- man vs. Chrisman football pep assem- bly and the Grandview basketball game Jan. 13. I liked the bag routine because it was something different. You could be creative while you did it, comment- ed Cheryl Beikman, sophomore. During the Grandview basketball game, the team performed a punk rou- tine to Whip It. Dressed like punk rockers, the girls painted their hair dif- ferent colors, wore outlandish makeup and wore different types of punk rocker clothing. Although the Beartrackers had on- ly five returning members, they re- turned from the American Drill Team earned at camp clinic in Lawrence, Kansas, with excel- lent results: two first place trophies, one in dance, the other in marching, and 11 ribbons earned by individual team members. The girls have an exceptionally good attitude and the willingness to work hard, Mrs. Jennifer Mitchell, sponsor, said. Lela Merical, junior, won three rib- 'bons at camp making her eligible to perform in Dallas at the Mavericks basketball game half time for the All American Drill Team. Money making projects included concession stands at baseball parks, selling peppermint in tins, candy bars, soap, Santa Stuffers and yarn toys. The money was used to purchase pom- pons, bags and uniforms. fi Y' 'Q .4- I ' ' ,h.,,W.KQw4 ,'9,Jar Drill Team 77 SHAYS f Bottom Row: Sherrie Kelley lSocial Chairpersonl, Rhonda Embree tTreasurerl.

' Members become involved in club g D . activities boost enthusiasm and spirit by Anne Schwenk Encouraging both new and old members to increase their participa- tion, several new rules were introduced. A member could miss no more than three meetings or attend school no more than three times without their uniforms before being dismissed from the club. Rules were made much clearer from the beginning, said Mrs. Helen Johnson, sponsor. Meetings were held the first and third Tuesday of every month. Here activities and service projects were planned and discussed. Starting the year off, their first project was decorating the teachers' lounge for Halloween. Members draped orange and black crepe paper stream- ers and provided homemade goodies I 78 Shays Design by Jeff Radei for the teachers to eat. Baking cookies for all the varsity and junior varsity sports teams was their next project. I think it was really nice, because after a game we are really thirsty and hungry and those cookies hit the spot, said senior Dan Miller. ln November members collected money to put a Thanksgiving food basket together for a needy family. I felt really good helping other people, especially on a holidayf' said senior Cara Rohaus. Many social events were also held. They included going to spookhouses and ice skating. A Christmas party was held at Lori Wittmeyer's house where members brought goodies and ex- changed gifts. Members also attended a slumber party at Julie Gaulter's house. Candy cane grams were sold the week before Christmas break, and the week before Easter the club spon- sored a jelly bean guessing contest. In February a book drive was held to col- lect books for the children's wards in hospitals. Members voted to spend some of the money they had earned selling M 81 Ms and candy cane grams on their prom. The prom was at the Phillips Hotel in downtown Kansas City, Sat- urday, Feb. 13. lt was really fun and the buffet was good, l had a lot of fun, said senior Sherry Vochatzer.

Mrs. Pat Holzbaur, president, said, Truman High School and Palmer and Bridger Junior Highs are all PTSA and with the boundary change some of these students will be feeding into our school. Holzbaur also said that the state PTA board suggested this move and that students who had attended PTA conventions were in favor of the change. Open house followed the first unit meeting Oct. 1. To give students a better under- standing of parliamentary procedures and bylaws, the Executive boardqspon- sored a Leadership Training Workshop Wednesday, Oct. 14, for all club offic- ers. During the meeting which lasted from 8:30-10:30 a.m., PTA officers dis- cussed bylaws and parliamentary pro- cedures, then the officers divided the students into groups and further de- tailed the duties of each office. We hope to gain better leaders for tomorrow, Holzbaur said about the goal of the program. It could be community, church, or maybe politics. We also hope to help current leaders gain more from their positions. Before the Chrisman-Truman foot- ball game Oct. 16 PTA sponsored the annual chili supper to raise funds. Mem- bers served chili, dessert and drink 5-7 p.m. in the cafeteria for S2. Club boosts school teams On the first Wednesday of every month a group of parents and teachers meet to raise money so they can help and support sports teams. Besides providing the drink and bread at all sports banquets and buying the girls volleyball state championship banner, they paid for the boys basket- ball bus to Springfield. Where do they get all the money to finance all these activities? During football season they sold programs and during basketball season they sold hot- dogs and nachos. Additional money is earned from the sale of Booster Club jackets, fuzzy bear stickpins and ker- chiefs.

About 200 history students and members of the Student Political League got out of their third hour classes to hear the views of Skelton, a Democrat who has served most of Jackson County from his seat in the United States House of Representa- tives since 1976. Skelton was invited here last sum- mer by history teacher Mr. Roy Kee- land when he was in Washington D.C. I saw a speech he gave in the South- ern States on the importance of histo- ry, and wrote and asked him to speak to us, said Keeland. In public law, students held a mock trial. Mr. Dick Dunbar, teacher of the class, said, The students really learned from the trial, it was a great experience for them and the whole thing went over really well - I think the students really learned a lot from the project. Students from Chrisman partici- pated in the seventeenth annual Model U.N. Security Council at Park College in Parkville, Missouri. Students from 15 a .

Students representing Chrisman were seniors Victor Callahan, Brian Nelson, Randy Pratt, and juniors Terri Norman and Beth Tignor. Eight Chrisman students were awarded a S500 scholarship in com- munity affairs to Park College. Pratt, Callahan and Michelle Wilson were three of the eight who attended the Model U.S. Senate, Feb. 11, at Park College. The purpose of the Model Senate was to give students a greater under- standing of how the United States Sen- ate approves bills. Students who attend- ed, sponsored in part by the Student Political League, wrote bills, attended committee meetings, party caucuses and participated in open debate in an attempt to pass those bills into legisla- tion.

Each student must pay 543.50 for the credits. Students receive college credit by taking Basic and Advanced College Prep. Mrs. Nancy Tapp, Col- lege Prep teacher, said that the course taught at Chrisman follows the UMKC syllabus with additional enrichment ma- terials. I like the new program since it allows me to get Freshman English out of the way so I can devote my time in college to my major, said senior Linda Thomas. Only 11 students were enrolled in the college credit program at Chrisman while close to 60 students were enrolled in the program at Truman High School. Enrollment is low because only 35 percent of Chrisman's senior class plans to go on to college, while Truman expects that 65 percent of their senior class will continue on to college, said Mrs. Katie Turner, senior counselor. The program will continue next year. The Gleam surveyed 75 juniors enrolled in either America's People or for ACP American Dream, either of which is a prerequisite for Basic College Prep, concerning their plans. Of those sur- veyed, 51 percent said that they were planning to take Basic College Prep next year, while 36 percent said they planned to go on to Advanced College Prep. Only 32 percent of the students surveyed were planning to take BCP and ACP for college credit. Yet not all students are ready for such advanced classes as BCP. Due to the influx of Southeast Asian immi- grants to the Midwest, especially the Vietnamese, who need to learn English, the administration decided to offer a new class, English as a Second Lan- guage. Basically the students in my class can speak English fairly well since they have usually already spent between one and five years in the United States, said Miss Nancy Martin, Eng- lish as a Second Language teacher. The class is concentrated on the im- provement of reading, vocabulary and writing skills. Several of the students have expressed a desire to go on to college and this class serves to pave the way. It is not just a beginners' class. For her puppet show in Creative Expressions Cindy Graup- ner, junior, sings with her puppet. Photo by Kathleen Reima!

Seniors Jim Edson and Phoung Dung Le combine their knowledge of trigonometry to complete an assignment. by Jeff Radel Undergoing a radical change, the science department has a whole new staff of teachers. Replacing Mr. Patrick McShane was Mrs. Ann McCoy, taking Mr. Terry Gammons place was Mr. Steve Davidson, and filling in where Miss Oneida Beeman left off was Mr. Dennis Stewart. Having all new teach- ers in the department made it hard for the three to work together. Each was kept busy planning their lessons and getting used to Chrisman and its stu- dents. McCoy feels she has improved her course by having some of her students compete in a number of science com- petitions. McCoy's students earned five first place awards, three second place awards, and two third-place awards at the Independence Science Fair, Feb. 5. Another activity for the science students was the Chemathon in St. Joseph, Missouri, March 9. Sen- ior Randy Pratt finished with a fifth place in the physics competition. According to senior Annette Car- nahan and Pratt, the science classes are as good or better than before and they are extremely beneficial to the science-oriented student. Science Design by Debbie Mormfm - l , Several transfer - to department The math classes also had a new addition this year. Mrs. Sheri Adams took over some of the responsibility for the advanced math classes. Adams transferred from crosstown rival, Tru- man. Commenting on the advanced math classes, Pratt said, Most of what we do is repetitious from other math classes, but I guess that is what it takes to learn and master the subjectsf' According to Mr. Ray Ettinger, math teacher, more upperclassmen are taking math classes. Geometry has the greatest increase in upperclassmen. Et- tinger said, There are two main rea- sons for this increase. Either more stu- dents are taking Algebra A and B or more students are taking a year off from math. Computer science courses also have a new instructor. Mr. Joseph Jen- nings transferred from Chrisman Jun- ior High. I had no trouble adjusting to the senior high, Jennings said, be- cause several of my present students are students that I taught at Chrisman Junior. The major difference is that they are more mature than before.

Aerobics is an exer- cise routine done to music. Physical education teacher Mr. Lynn Snowden's wife, Mrs. Jeanne Snowden, came in two days a week for six weeks to lead the class. Snowden said several stu- dents showed an interest, so his wife agreed to come in and teach them. Changing from the old one-piece gym suit to a new two-piece gym suit made the girls in gym classes happier. The new uniform consists of blue shorts with a gold T-shirt-style blouse. The cost, in comparison to the old gym suit, is about the same. The new suit allows for a better fit and a more up-to-date look. I like the new gym suits better. They're a lot more comfortable, said sophomore DeDi Garcia. The North Central Committee felt the physical education department needed to update the curriculum to include activities and information to encourage students to develop a knowl- edge and appreciation of personal fit- ness. Also suggested was to use the national fitness test to assess cardio- vascular fitness and to measure skin fold for fat content. Drivers sharpen skills Searching for Room 8 is a com- mon experience for students enrolled in Driver's Education. The students assume they are looking for a class- room, but soon discover they are actu- ally hunting for a hallway. Miss Sandy Hografe explains that a classroom has been requested but the request is con- tinually turned down because of the short time the students are in class. The administration doesn't want to tie- up a classroom for just a quarter. The hall is a little distracting, because of the interruptions. Changing the credits of the course is a goal of the department for the near future. Senior Michelle Wilson com- mented, l feel the class should be counted as a half credit so that it doesn't affect your grade averagef' Since this lowers the students grade average the better students are reluc- tant to take the class. Enrollment for Driver's Education is up and the classes are full. The North Central Committee suggested the dis- trict lease or buy another car to allow more students into the classes. If this is not possible, students with driveris li- censes will be prevented from taking the class. North Central would also like the district to investigate the possibility of purchasing simulators to aid in meet- ing the minimum behind-the-wheel hours.

Mrs. Linda Deupree took ad- vantage of this opening. She had taught Foods I and II and Independent Living since she has been at Chrisman and this was the first chance for her to switch courses. Deupree feels Family Relations is important because regardless of a per- son's job or location everyone is usual- ly part of a family. She said, I hope the seniors who took my class got out hav- ing a better idea of their family and the family they might become a part of. She tried to give students a better insight on how to deal with fractured families. She teaches her classes first as individuals and secondly as students. She tries to use a variety of methods. One is class discussion, she uses this to try to motivate her students. There are a numoer of good speakers from the community and former students who gave their views on different topics. is Basically she wants her students to be able to relate and communicate with other people in life. She gave two large assignments: the role expectation of male and female and a marriage agreement. These were used to help the students to become realistic in their expectations in what a marriage in- cludes and consists of. In Parenting Deupree looked fur- ther into relationships including those with children. Mrs. Priscilla Scott who took over Foods and Independent Living classes had tried to get a teaching position here for sometime. Mrs. Scott said, I like teaching here very much. She majored in Home Economics because she has always enjoyed cooking. She hopes her students will come out know- ing how to put ingredients together, how to read a recipe, and how to man- age their money. Mr. John Bell was the new band and orchestra instructor. Bell was not particularly in the job market but he found the opening and took it. Not only does Bell teach band and orchestra here at Chrisman but he also goes over to Bridger Junior High and teaches strings for two hours. Bell enjoys the school's atmos- phere, it doesn't remind him of a large suburban school because it appears more on a personal level. He thinks the students are very good and he has tried to teach them a little more structurally than in the past. He said, I am looking forward to next year when the ninth graders come. I think this will help all the activities and be good for the program. A happy visitor in child development shows his skills by play ing with a ball. Photo by Darrell Lucas. 0.1.

Q A 5' xg'-:J , ..J oping after school, students receive help by Anne Schwenk Coping with the outside world can be a problem for many graduating sen- iors, but for special education students coping begins while they are in school. A student must complete at least 12 years of school and be able to work a specific job for at least three consecu- tive months to graduate. These stu- dents have different graduation require- ments that will enable them to learn how they can make a successful living and get along with their co-workers. They are taught through a specialized program, The Individualized Education- al Program. Under this program the student operates on his own potential and is graded individually. When an IEP is written, the teach- ers as a staff look at the student's strengths and weaknesses. Teachers not only look at the academics of a student, but the student's personality, in order to increase his awareness and help the student to have a greater understanding of his world and respon- sibilities. The guidelines for this program are set up by the Missouri Co-Op Pro- gram. The Independence school dis- trict works with the state to help pro- vide successful placement of the stu- dent in on-the-job training positions in areas of the students' interests, which include housekeeping, auto body and fender repair training and diesel me- chanics. This plan emphasizes vocational experience and also allows the student to realize that he or she has the ability to cope with after-graduation pressure.

Senior Garry Blevins said, I had taken basic woods and wanted to take an advanced course. The cost depends on what you make and what kind of wood you choose to use. Blev- ins has refinished a bed, built a vanity and a waterbed. Another senior, Steve Lomax, has made coffee tables and refinished a chair. Each student is required to do a refinishing project. The student then has the choice of doing three small pro- jects such as a coffee table and two end tables or of doing one large project such as a waterbed along with a small project. lt is easy and a lot of fun, but it is also time consuming and costlyf' said Blevins. For many, architectural drafting is a stepping stone to a good job after graduation. I took this class so I could get a good job after graduation. They place 60 percent of their workers in jobs after they graduate, said senior Shaun Thomas. We draw a lot of things, buildings and stuff like that most of the time, but right now I am drawing a bone crusherf' Not only is photography an inter- esting hobby, but for some it is a career goal. I am interested in pursuing a career in photo-journalism. I have had some of my pictures published in mag- azines, but I have never entered any photo contests, said junior Shannon Humphrey. In class students develop black and white pictures as well as working on weekly assignments. I real- ly enjoy taking pictures, especially sun- sets and during the early evening. Through this class I have really im- proved my skills as a photographer, said Humphrey.

X 3 X -f Q Q - ri it Q ,N W 4 w N o-Tech teaches skills needed for real world by Jennifer Lyon Every day of the school year, 64 students, 35 seniors in the morning and 29 juniors in the afternoon, must give up their Chrisman identity to go to the Joe Herndon Area Vocational Techni- cal School in Raytown. These students miss elections, assemblies, Senior Ca- reer Day, Student Council representa- tion, and because the spring breaks don't coincide, they must attend classes half a day March 15-19. The three girls enrolled in Cosme- tology are at Chrisman only long enough to catch the bus. Because the prime concern of Vo-Tech students is receiving training in their vocational field, this is not a big problem for them. Missing things is bad sometimes, but in one day at Vo-Tech, I learn more than I could ever hope to learn at an assembly, said senior Trevis Hudson. The vocational school is comprised of eight other high schools: Center, Grandview, Hickman Mills, l.ee's Sum- mit, Raytown, Raytown South, Ruskin, and Truman. Having a lot of schools participating gives you the chance to meet people that you otherwise proba- bly wouldn't meetf' stated Hudson. All students receive job placement counseling and over 85 percent plan a career in the field in which they are enrolled. Data Processing has the best job placement opportunities, but as in past years, Auto Mechanics is the most popular program. Although it doesn't allow for very good career chances, it remains the most competitive class to get into, with only about one-half of those applying being accepted. ln order to get a Certificate of Completion, students must attend 90 percent of the scheduled 176 days. Because of the nature of the school, they must also show a strong interest in their chosen field, Even though it is a school, classes are conducted similarly to the real work-world. This is all part of learning a trade. You can't go out there expecting to have three free hours to mess around, because it's not possible if you want to learn anything, said junior Eddie Ratzlaff.

I 'a 1 O Sullivan takes control, debaters participate in trial by Beverly Felter In her first full year as drama teach- er, Miss Kate Sullivan made several changes in the program. Sullivan began teaching here during the 1980-81 school year, replacing the former drama teach- er. Restructuring the class, she divided it into categories - acting, technical aspects and overview of theater. Includ- ing technical work was unique because in the past drama classes have concen- trated mainly on acting. Senior Jim Ingram, a three-year student, said the program has im- proved. He called Sullivan a good teacher, on our level and well quali- fied. According to Sullivan, students take drama for a variety of reasons. One is to get a fine arts credit. Other students enjoy being the center of at- tention and drama gives them a chance to get up and perform. Still others need an outlet for their energies other than sports or music. In comparison Mrs. Cindy Bate- man, speech and debate teacher, ana- lyzed why students take her classes. I believe many students take these class- es to become comfortable in assorted speaking situations for they realize this is a world filled with communication needs, Bateman said. She added that debate offers students a chance to represent Chrisman as a fine educa- tional institution. Since the debate season ended in February, Bateman kept her classes busy preparing for the coming year. Another project was a mock trial com- petition for debaters. The case was child custody, St. Clair vs. St. Clair. An attorney, Mr. Michael Manners, lec- tured and critiqued the class on their preparation for the trial. The trial was a simulation created by the Missouri Bar Association. Two other members of the depart- ment had busy spring breaks. Mrs. Pam Buttler, Spanish teacher, took four students and one parent to Mexico, while Miss Nancy Martin, French and German teacher, took seven students to France. Martin said the trip helped enhance her ability as a teacher, but that it was mainly for the students. lf the students' interestdis rejuvenated, that's the important thing, Martin said. Buttler, too, said it was a good experience for her students. I was pleased that by the end of our trip eve- ryone could order their meals in Span- ish and call room service, she said. Even the first-year students were able to read some of the signs.

Per- formances took place in the little thea- tre Nov. 6 and 7 at 7:30 p.m. This play had the best draw we have had in years, said Ms. Kate Sulli- van, director. The play centered around a zany family and all the crazy things they did in their home. lt is a comedy about an unusual family, said Sullivan, each member does his own little thing and does not worry about the pressures of the out- side world. lt is a cross between the Munsters and the Addams' families. Everyone in the family did their own thing, and it was the uniqueness of each character that interested the actors as well as the audience. Everyone does something weirdf' said sophomore Sharalynn Maday. I play darts and raise snakes and we haven't paid taxes for 55 years. I think the play was hilarious, said senior Chrisi Henze, a ballet stu- dent in the play. Although I felt like a fool dancing around the stage all the time, it was a lot of fun and l think eve- ryone enjoyed it. lt is a great play for a variety of people, said Sullivan. There is some- thing for everyone in the play. However, the cast faced two prob- lems in putting the play together. One was getting the unusual props, said Sullivan, lt called for snakes, a xylophone, a printing press, live animals and fireworks. The second problem was work- ing with 19 people on the cast in a very small area. ln one scene we had almost 15 people on stage. We really had to work hard to get everyone in the right place and to get everything to fit. Many of the actors felt one of their biggest problems was memorizing their lines. Characterization was also diffi- cult for most of the cast. I have had to get out of myself totally and become a character totally different than I myself am, said senior Dawna Sue Tuttle. Everyone plays a real character, said Sullivan, no one plays himself. There is a lot of action and characteri- zationf' I L Qi'-Q t lv, xy! -it-fi . ,..-. 5 ir . favs! -- Y I s fi x , Reaching for her toes, senior Chrisi Henze performs ballet at f F Q the dining room table. Photos by Treuis Hudson Fall Play 103 First dessert theatre Rehearsal time short for members by Lori Robinson For the first time, the drama de- partment tried a dessert theatre for the winter production. Design for Murder was presented Feb. 19 and 20. Preparation for the play was exten- sive. The cast began rehearsing four weeks before the production date, which allowed much less time than the usual six-week rehearsal schedule. Practice began the week after Christ- mas vacation. The presentation of the play with more than four weeks of rehearsal would have conflicted with the Foreign Language Festival, the mu- sical-talent show and then spring break. The play was more work than I thought possible, said Paula Gipson, cast member. Presenting the play in the east cafeteria caused more technical prob- lems than acting ones. Sets had to be set up and taken down more often than they would have been in the Little Theater. Everyone involved worked together. l think that is part of the rea- son the play went so well, said Susan Fuchs, cast member. Tickets bought in advance were S3 and at the door were 53.50. The audi- ence seemed to enjoy the dessert thea- tre. They also reacted tothe play well, said Rick Cash, cast member. Pies, cookies, cakes, candy and mints made up the buffet. Tea, coffee and punch were offered to drink. Dona- tions from area restaurants included napkins, cups, food, ashtrays and can- dy bowls. Area businesses donated some of the props used in the play. Beginning drama students worked backstage and in various crews such as makeup, props, publicity and sound. The acting parts were open to anyone, not just those students who were in drama. Though she directed two come- dies presented here, this play was the first murder-mystery Sullivan has di- rected. These were Arsenic and Old Lace and You Can't Take It With You. Design for Murderi' had three acts and lasted two and one-half hours. During the two 10-minute intermissions between the acts, the audience re- turned to the buffet for more dessert. Though Sullivan thought that the audience liked the dessert theatre, she is not planning one in the near future. This one was too much of a hassle and no profit was made. The success of a play depends on the publicity of the play, said Sullivan. lf you have enthu- siastic and energetic students, you can pull off anything you want. .5 .1 During the course of the play, junior Rick Cash and Senior Tim Herod question sophomore Mona Pool.

The choir was good in years past, but there didnit seem to be that feeling ot discipline that there should be when l got here, said Mr. Jess Wade, director. Choir members were required to pay more attention. Though the group worked harder, the members seemed to care more about what happened in and what was thought of the group, said Alesha Harris, senior. Choir members were required to be more qualified. Members were re- quired to take a basic musicianship test Concert Chorale Design by Debbie Morman members learn variety of music g , Wade improves choir's disciplineg ' . . that was made up by Wade to deter- mine each individual's knowledge of music. This test wasn't required in years past. The test could be taken an unlimited number of times until it was passed but a deduction was made in the student's grade until it was passed. The choir sang a greater variety of songs than in years past. Though clas- sical and Latin numbers were still done, there was more pop material in the program. Many of the pop songs were from movies such as Fame and The Jazz Singer. Many members of the choir felt the overall singing ability and sound was better this year than in the past two years. The choir has better tone, said Harris. Though the choir may have an overall better sound and capability, they received a two on a scale of five with one being the best, at district music contest. Many members were upset because the group has often been awarded one's in the past. lt doesn't show the true quality of the choir, said Wade. The group was also involved in money raisers such as the sale of fruit cakes for Christmas and chocolate rab- bits for Easter. The money from these sales went to help the entire music department. The money was used for the purchase of music and other mate- rials the department uses.

Blue and Gold also sings for other schools and for special occasions, such as Christmas. This Christmas they car- oled at the Independence Center and won S300 for placing second in a music contest. They sang in competition with other area schools, over a five-week period. Each member also received a senior, said. Wade is not the only one who wants the group to stay alive.

A general knowledge of music and the ability to read music is needed to try out for Girls Choir. This choir sang in the Combined Independence Com- munity Christmas Concert at the RLDS auditorium. The choir performed many popular Christmas selections such as Deck the Halls, O Come, O Come, Emmanuel and Gift of the Magi. Standing up in front of all those people and singing our songs was really great, said Tina Montgomery, senior. The girls were in Entertainment '82 where they performed songs such as Theme from the Greatest Ameri- can Hero, Theme from Love Boat and a Medley of Broadway Tunesf' The Girls Choir also appeared in the Fall, Christmas and Spring concerts at school. The choir also had some social activities, they had a hayride in Octob- er and went ice skating in December at Crown Center. To sing in Mixed Chorus no prior musical experience is necessary. This is the class that is taken to learn the correct way to sing and how to read music. Mixed Chorus sang in the Fall, Christmas and Spring Concerts and they also had their own talent show Feb. 16 and 17. This was the last year for Mixed Chorus. Next year it will be divided into two different choirs, a Menls Choir and a Girls Glee Club. lf l don't take Concert Chorale l will sing in Men's Choir. Having the two choirs might be better because the boys in Mixed Cho- rus sing louder than the girls even though there are more of them, but we'll just have to see what happens, said sophomore Bruce Prawl, Members of these choirs will not need any prior musical experience either.

The program included mate- rial from movies, television, Broadway shows, theater, all kinds of music, like Air Supply, Styx, golden oldies and country and western, said Mr. Jess Wade, vocal music director. Featured groups included Concert Chorale, Blue and Gold, Girls Choir, Pops band, Hoofers, small ensembles, a beauty shop quartet, various solos, a ventriloquist, and comedy. This wasn't at all related to the Follies, Wade said, I was only here for one year of the Follies, and this was the first time that I had been in charge of such a program. Auditions were open to everyone. Though the program was music-orient- ed, it was not a choir concert. I really enjoyed doing a comedy skit, said Rick Cash, junior. ln drama we don't get much of a chance to per- form for a big audience unless we are in a play production. The change was really fun. After some comedy skits and some solos, the Hoofers performed a western fight scene which led to a saloon song and dance scene with Con- cert Chorale. l liked the country and western part the best, said senior Lisa skits Henderson. I had a lot of fun running around and being lively. I am really glad they decided to put on Entertainment '82, said senior Anne Schwenk, after they stopped having the Follies we needed some- thing to fill the gap. During the performance there was a 10 minute intermission. Then Pops band, special ensembles, girls choir and the beauty shop quartet were fea- tured. The money received from the 31.50 student tickets and the S2 adult tickets was distributed between the music and drama departments.

Entertainment '82 113 One more time Band gets yet another director by Jennifer Lyon For the third time in three years, the band started the year with a new teacher. This year's offering, Mr. John Bell, received his master's degree from the University of Illinois and previously taught two years in the Lee's Summit school district. He thinks Chrisman is a good school that is getting much better. We showed a lot of improvement just in this year. I'm really looking forward to next year, he said. For the senior members of band, their high school band experience has been diverse. They have had to adapt to three different styles of teaching and three totally different people. Rick Pon- talion, three year member feels that the three different teachers have been an asset. lt was hard to adjust, but l'm going to have to live with that through- out my life so I guess it's better that I start now, he said. Linda Wilson, a senior and first- year member said, Band is more chal- lenging than it had appeared to be in the past year. Bell seems to have the class under control. He demands more discipline which makes us better musi- ciansf' Perhaps because of this change in the faculty, there was an above-normal number of drops in the second semes- ter. Those students who dropped felt that his expectations were too high for a high school band. I guess our atti- tudes toward band were just different, senior Brian Nelson said. On the other hand, Bell felt that those students who dropped lacked the dedication they needed to get bet- ter. I'm just teaching what is expected of high school students, said Bell. As in past years, the band marched in the American Royal Par- ade, Nov. 7 and in KU Band Day Sept. 26. Because of rain, the Independence Halloween Parade was cancelled, so the band didn't get a chance to uphold the tradition of marching in it. A woodwind quintet from The Uni- versity of Missouri-Columbia played a concert for band members Feb. 2. The three men and two women who make- up the quintet teach at Columbia and tour high schools in Missouri displaying their talents to encourage enrollment in the music department. A volunteer pep band played at all the home football and basketball games this year. Those members that attend- ed consistently were invited to partici- pate in the Pops Band that played at Entertainment '82 in the spring. .lv At a home football game, seniors Rick Pontalion, Brian Nelson and Randy Pratt join with the band to help raise spirit.

J I I f gr Q hough orchestra small, soloists earn No. 1 ratings by Danetta Schnetzer After all the instruments have been packed away, and the last echo of the bow being pulled across the strings has died, orchestra students and their direc- tor look back over the past year. In his first year here, Mr. John Bell, director, said that he felt that the orchestra had a very successful year considering the small size of the string section: nine violins, one viola, three cellos and two basses. Next year there will be 14 violins, six violas, three cellos and three basses. My favorite memories are of the Spring Concert, the Christmas Con- cert at the R.L.D.S. auditorium, district and state contest and the way in which the students accepted the ninth grad- ers who came up to play with us for district contest, , Bell said. At the Fall' Concert Nov. 5, selec- tions included Russian Choral and Overture, Song of Jupiterf' Slavon ic Dance No. 8 and Suite from Tann hauserf' The Christmas Concert Dec 13, was sponsored by the R.l..D.S. to bring all the schools together for one big concert, with the combined orches- tras from both Chrisman and Truman playing Winter Wonderlandn and two old English Christmas carols. At the orchestra and vocal Christ- mas Concert Dec. 17, the orchestra performed Winter Wonderland Christ- mas Overture. In the all-school orches- tra concert, May 4, selections from The Music lVlan,', and Fugue and Vivace' were performed. This year the orchestra was repre- sented at both the district and the state contest. Seniors Linda Wilson, Danelle Peterson and Lois Jaynes and sopho- mores Paul Brookens and Jimmie Bor- land all received No. 1 ratings for their instrumental solos at both the district and the state contest. Also the quartet composed of Danelle Peterson, Paul Brookens, Jill Sager and Jimmie Bor- land received a No. 1 at the district and the state contests.

Usually the first three or four who display an interest in helping are chosen to do so for an hour each day. Mrs. Susan Kisslinger, librarian, looks for honest, dependable people. Library helper's duties include timing passes in and out, putting books away, collecting fines for overdue books, and checking out books and magazines. Rick Pontalion, senior, said, She ex- pects us to be fairly responsible. You can't just come in here and sleep or play around for an hour. Although it isn't study hall, helpers are allowed to work on homework or work in another teacher's room for the hour. Mark Calhoon, junior, said, Mrs. Kisslinger is pretty good about letting us out if we need to do something for another class. Those students who work in the office must also be very responsible. They are in a situation where they meet visitors and must project a good image for the entire school. Mrs. Lois Elliott, secretary, thinks it takes a special kind of patience to work in the office. They have to put up with a lot of peo- ple's problems that they shouldn't have to, she said. Since they sign people in and out of school, they hear many different and unique excuses. Jim Ingram, senior, elaborated, There seems to be a lot of car trouble. I didn't realize there were that many cars that didn't run in the morning! The eight boys and one girl who work in the audio-visual room are chos- en by Mr. Phil Legg as having respon- sibility and passing grades. These chos- en few get a lot of experience working with a photo copier and a ditto ma- chine. This could help them to get a job in the future because they would al- ready know how to operate the equip- ment. Senior Tim Carlton feels that it is valuable experience. lt's definitely been worth the time and effort that I've put into it,', he said.

Although the staff does not get overly excited when working on sto- ries, Smith said, They make up for it in professional ability. l have been on the staff for three years and l have seen both good and bad writers. What we have this year is a bunch of good wri- ters. Some of the paper's stories, though, upset the students. A story about the selling of carbonated bever- ages against federal regulations caused quite a controversy. . People would call us irresponsible journalists and muckrakers, but we have pursued sensitive issues, Jeff Johnson said. They take touchy issues and at- tack them, said senior Debbie Mor- manf Reporters have become more in- volved in the issues. We are writing about what affects the school, and that affects everybody, Smith said. Unfor- tunately people arenlt really interested in the issues, they are more interested in gossip. The biggest change has been in the layout. Everything is modular, a commonly used style among metropol- itan dailies. Some people were afraid this style would limit their creativity, but we haven't had any problems, Smith said. Another big change took place on the editorial page. Last year the edi- torial page looked like a 'circus,' every issue was different, but this year we have a set layout that gives a cleaner look. The editorial page has substance, we have come out with editorials that really mean something. Senior Sandy Jones received a gold key from Quill and Scroll for her news story on honor cords. She was awarded one of 27 keys out of 535 entries. On April 13 Smith was awarded Missouri Journalist of the Year by the Missouri Interscholastic Press Associa- tion at the MIPA Journalism Day. I was very surprised and deeply honored, said Smith. I had no idea that Mr. Brown had nominated me. At the beginning of February both Smith and Brown received letters allow- ing them to secretly nominate an ad- viser or student. Smith nominated Mr. Brown, and Mr. Brown nominated Smith, neither aware of their own nom- ination. lronically both won, Mr. Brown was awarded outstanding journalism teacher of the year, and both were greatly surprised.

Over the summer, Mr. Mike Brown, adviser, worked with other advi- sers and created a filmstrip about the upcoming trend of magazine style year- book design. After watching the film- strip, the staff chose to follow this plan and give the book a new look. Basically, each pair of facing pages features a very large picture, headline styles vary more, graphic concepts are simpler, and arti- cles are longer. Club section editor Sherry Vochat- zer said, I think that we will see a lot more of this type of style in the future because everything is changing to fewer pictures and more copy in all publica- tions. Bits and Pieces is a mini-mag borrowed directly from magazines. The section is similar to Random Notesn in Rolling Stone or the news brief in some more work teen magazines. The stories in this sec- tion focus more on news events that affected students. With the departure of three staff members at the end of first semester, Tom Cook, Lori Wittmeyer and Karen Small, more responsibilities were left for other staffers. ' ' While attending the Missouri lnter- scholastic Press Association workship June 6-13 in Columbia, Missouri, Editor- in-Chief Beverly Felter received a third place certificate in yearbook copy writ- ing in the write-off contest. Eleven staff members attended the fall Journalism Education Association National Convention, Nov, 6-8, at the Radisson-Muehlebach Hotel in Kansas City. The keynote speaker was Jack Anderson, syndicated political colum- nist from Washington, D.C. Six Gleam staffers entered the national write-off contest.

Every day after school the procedure is repeated as team members struggle to perfect their strategy. The coach continues to bark command after command and bodies pound into one another making a dull thud as flesh grinds flesh. After practice the play- ers drag off the field sore and bruised and tired. It is Friday night. Moths swarm around the large stadium lights overhead. A crowd lies sprinkled across the bleachers as the glory seek- ers file out onto the green and white striped play- ing field. Proud fathers and anxious mothers sit smothered in thick blankets, sipping scalding cof- fee from styrofoam cuDs. The cheerleaders chant S Diejggirisby Jeff Radel encouragement and the pep club echoes their yell. The band strikes up the fight song as the action unfolds. Students wait impatiently by the front of the school, hopping up and down to keep warm in the icy-cold. Finally they are rewarded as the volleyball team, ready for state competition, bursts through the front doors in bright blue and gold. The crowd parts to let them pass and smiles and hugs are quickly exchanged. The members pile onto the bus, opening windows and dangling their arms outside. They wave to the well-wishers who scream a final good-bye before being herded back to their classes. The bus drives away.

Overall, the varsity team won three dual meets and lost 11 dual meets. Jun- ior varsity ended the season with a 2-5 conference record and a 4-10 overall record. In her seventh year coaching girls tennis, Miss Sandy Hografe said, Our players are better than the record leads one to believe. The problem was that we all couldn't get it together at the same time. A variety of factors led to the team's final record. First of all, there were no returning lettermen. Secondly, no one on the team had any varsity experience. And thirdly, last years' No. I player, junior Erica Werner, didn't go out for the team this year. Senior Rachel Cary said, We all tried our best. This was the first year that most of us ever played any varsity matches and the inexperience is what hurt us the most. Practice at the Crysler tennis courts began with the girls running at least five laps around the courts, serv- ing approximately 30 tennis balls, and breaking into singles and doubles play. Commenting on the practices junior Barbara Easterla said, I don't think we took our practices or the season very seriously. I think the other area schools wanted it more and it showed in the dual matches. Playing No. I varsity position, jun- ior Crystal Gonzalez Ied the team, while senior Becky Jensen was the unofficial team captain. One doubles team, junior Shan- non Humphrey and Easterla, advanced once at the 'conference tournament. This was the only Chrisman team that advanced in any tournament play. Humphrey said, It was a good feeling to know that we had at least accomp- lished something. On Nov. 12, the tennis team held their annual banquet at Pizza Inn. Team members voted for the best players in several areas. Sophomore Lisa And- rade was voted as the player with the most potential, and the most improved player was sophomore Mellaine Ahmu. Both of these players showed some new and upcoming talent for next years' varsity squad. Most aggressive player at the net was Humphrey and the sportsmanship award was a tie between seniors Jensen and Cary. Best backhand on the team was Gonzalez with the best forehand going to Easterla. Commenting on this year's performance, Hografe said, The team might not have been a success this year, but it was a great success in terms of next year's team.

Photo by Chris Landes F ' ' h Mid Six forms girls conference, first girls team places second by Sherry Vochatzer In its first season as a conference sport, the girls team separated from the boys team with whom they ran in the past. Mr. Dick Dunbar agreed to give up his football coaching duties to coach the newly formed girls team. Dunbar has participated for the past several years in road runs such as Macyis, Hospital Hill, and Diet Pepsi. Leading the girls team was junior Angie Weinzatl who had four first pla- ces and received three medals. In the district meet, Weinzatl missed qualify- ing for state by two places. I was really disappointed that I didn't make it. I felt I didn't reach my potential this season, said Weinzatl. Seniors Sandy Jones and Karen Craig along with Weinzatl led the team to a third place at St. lVIary's Invitational and a second in conference. Weinzatl and Jones were also named all-conference. The guys worked really hard and accomplished more than in the past several years, said boys coach Lowell Heide. The team's top finishers were senior Kevin Prine, junior John Scheaf- fer, and sophomore Jeff Nuss, all of whom finished the season with three medals each. Leading the JV was soph- omore Matt lVIcDonald with two med- als. Although there were no sectional qualifiers, the boys team placed second in St. IVIary's Invitational, Independence Invitational and third at conference. Senior Kevin Prine said, I wasn't dis- appointed about not going to sectionals because cross country is more of a sport to have fun in than to concen- trate on winning, although the competi- tion is greatf, They also won a tri-meet with Truman and Fort Osage and a dual meet with Truman. The JV placed first at Independ- ence Invitational, third at Southeast Invitational in the Sophomore division and fourth at conference. They won a dual meet with Truman and a tri-meet with Winnetonka and Belton.

After easily going through the round robin tournament at state, which included Chrisman, Hickman Mills, Pat- tonville and Afton, the Bears were ranked first and matched against con- ference rival Hickman Mills for the finals. Chrisman lost the first game 14- 16, but bounced back to win the next two games 15-6 and 15-3, thus clinching the state title. Seeded second in the district tour- nament, the Bears easily defeated Ex- celsior Springs by the scores of 15-8 and 15-6. The Bears then went on to meet against two-time state champions i 9 S 4 School's 1st state title ranked Truman in district finals Truman Patriots in the finals. After los- ing the first game 8-15, the Bears came back to defeat the Pats 15-12 and again 15-12. Commented senior Marla Swof- fer, After defeating Truman in the Dis- trict finals, it was a positive reinforce- ment to the team. Practices became more serious and the thought of win- ning state became more of a reality. By defeating Hickman Mills and Raytown South in the second half of the season, the Bears with an 8-2 rec- ord ended up sharing the Suburban Middle Six Conference title with Hick- man Mills. The key to the team's suc- cess seemed based around an attitude change and more positive thinking on the court.

' Dominating the JV squad this year, 13 sophomores overtook the squad of six jun- iors. Miss Martin, coach, felt that the majori- ty of the weight was carried by sophomores Dianne Hobbs, Lisa Grubbs, Camille Willis, Janie Keeling, Nikki Payne and Dana Peter- son. All 19 girls received JV letters and as coach Martin saw it, most of these girls will be dressing out varsity next year, due to their experience, and will probably have a really good season. I felt all the girls were talented and very good and that they will be very lucky to be ahead of others next year, commented Coach Martin. Debi Akers, junior who played on JV and varsity both felt, The JV team should get a little more recognition for their good season like the varsity team.

Russell said, Mistakes in critical situations are what killed us. Opening the season against the Ruskin Eagles, the Bears knew they would have their hands full. Senior Dan Miller commented, We knew they would play us tough, but we thought we could beat themfl Pre-game predic- tions seemed to come true in the first three quarters, when the Bears went into the final quarter with a 28-16 lead. Then, the offense sputtered and the defense gave up 18 fourth quarter points. The final outcome was a 34-28 defeat. Many starters took the loss as a. great surprise, senior Mike Lewis said, Football Design by Jeff Radel It was the first game of the season and we didn't know we were going to get that tired. Mike Tompkins, senior receiver, commented, 1 could not believe we lost the game. The following week's game was against cross-town rival Van Horn. Rus- sell said, Our offense controlled the ball and the defense played consistent- ly. A 40-O win was the reward for the players' and coaches' efforts. Being the first win of the season, it was more important than it might ap- pear. Lewis said, lt turned us around. We knew we could win after that game. Taking a 1-1 record into their third game against an 0-2 Center team, the Bears knew that the Center record :lidn't mean anything. We knew we would have to take it to them to win, said senior quarterback David Hensar- ling. After three and one-half quarters, it appeared they had done enough to win, but the momentum was stolen away from them by the Center offense and most notably their All-State run- ning back who piled up 229 yards. Lewis said, We got cocky and they took the momentum away from us. Going into the fourth quarter, the Bears sported a 21-6 lead only to see it end in a 24-21 loss. Russell explained, Their line just took it to us. lt seemed that the fourth quarter losses were going to become a thorn in the Bears' side for the rest of the sea- son. The preparation for the Hickman Mills game was not all that different continued on page 136 Fourth quarter blues continued from page 134 from any of the others. We practiced the same way for all the games, hard, said Tompkins. The opening of the Hickman game was much like the open- ing for the first three games, an early third quarter lead and then a let-down. Going into the fourth quarter, the Bears were ahead 18-14, with three missed extra points looming in the balance. Again the Bears saw a fourth quarter loss ruin their hopes of a .500 season. Four interceptions marred the Bears' offense. When you rely on the pass so much, you are bound to have an off night, said Russell. Fort Osage, the all important homecoming game, was the next chal- lenge for the Bears. The Bears faced the challenge of the Fort Osage jinx, that being that the Bears varsity foot- ball team has never lost to a Fort Osage football team. The Bears knew that game would be tough, but that did not stop them from taking it straight to the Indians from Fort Osage, With the Bears establishing an early lead, the second half was much different. The Bears held onto their lead and won 28- 8. Fort Osage's only score came in the final minutes. lt appeared to be an easy win on the outside, but Russell said, Fort Osage's offense was very tough. lt wasn't an easy victory in the least. Of the many highlights from the Fort Osage game, one that the Fort Osage players might remember is the Hensarling to Tompkins match up. Tompkins had five receptions for 121 yards and Hensarling had 11 comple- tions out of 18 attempts for 212 yards. The Hensarling to Tompkins Ubombl' was typical of the season for the Bears, Russell said, We thought we had some real good receivers this year and it made us rely on them more than necessary. The Raytown game was the next feat for the roller coaster Bears. The Bears went into the game with a good attitude. Lewis recalls, We really got prepared for the Raytown game be- cause we remembered what they did to us last year. The Bears received the opening kickoff and marched down the field and put the first score on the board, but they were never to see the lead again as the Bluejays up-ended them 28-14. The Bears were in the game for most of the first three and a half quar- ters though. The score was 21-7 with eight minutes to go in the fourth quar- ter and Coach Russell made a decision to send in some of the non-starters. The next play of the game was a lengthy run by one of the Raytown backs. Lewis supports the coach's decision, We had been playing hard all night and the coach just gave some of us breathersf' The final result was a dis- appointing 28-14 loss and a 2-4 record. The seventh game of the season was more than just a game for the Bears, it was a game of pride and a game that decided the winner of the Wagon Wheel Trophy which the Bears had won the year before by beating the Patriots 40-20. The Bears knew what they were in for. They knew that the Patriots didn't want to lose two years in a row and that inspired them. Throughout the first half the Bears defense performed admirably and the offense was moving the ball with the running of senior Ed lVlcCanless.

Photo by Kelly Kilgore Fourth quarter continued from page 136 Bears were behind 6-0 after the first quarter, but they knew they weren't out of it by any means. Fans were wait- ing for the Hensarling to Tompkins match up, and with a few minutes left in the first half they got what they were waiting for. Hensarling went back to pass and uncorked a 46-yard pass to Tompkins for the Bears first score of the game and after a good kick, a one- point half time lead. But, the Truman Patriots weren't about to fold that easi- ly. Russell evaluated the situation, With one minute left we just assumed they were going to pass the ball, so we went into a loose defense and they just ran down the field. It was a mistake l would attribute to myselff, The half-time score was 9-7 with the Patriots in the lead. The momen- tum created by the quick drive was more important than the drive itself. The Bears came out of the locker room and could not score in the second half. The final score was disappointing 16-7 loss and the loss of the Wagon Wheel Trophy. The Bears went into the Grand- view game with the Truman loss in the back of their minds. They did however have hopes of upsetting the Bulldogs. They opened the game with an early 6-O lead, but soon saw their spark burn into a cinder. The Bears stayed in the game until the third quarter when Grandview scored 21 unanswered points. That was all that was needed to bury the Bears 42-12. The last game of the season was against the strongest team in the area, the- Raytown South Cardinals. The Bears knew they were outmatched in almost every aspect of the game, but they did not plan on rolling over and playing dead. We practiced the same way for the Ray-South game as we did for the Van Horn game, but we just got outmannedf' said Russell. The first three quarters were all Ray-South as they opened up a 45-0 third quarter lead. Not an easy loss to record as the last game of the season, but the team took it in stride as they finished with a 2-7 record that could just as easily have been 7-2.

Activi- ties began with a performance by the Beartrackers to The Fifth of Beethov- en played by the marching band. Then the homecoming court was announced. Seniors Terri Herl, Sherrie Kelley and Kathy Taylor, juniors Stacey Crawford and Cris Wiley, and sophomores Jolene DeWitt and Robin West were escorted on the field by their fathers. West said, l was embarrassed, when I first heard my name on the announcements l thought they made a mistakefi The attendants then had a chilly ride around the field in assorted red, orange, white, black, and blue Cor- vettes. Wiley said, lt was exciting to get to meet other girls I didn't know. While the crowd held its breath in suspense, Kevin Prine, vice-president of student council, escorted Cindy Sop- cich, 1980 Fall Homecoming Queen, who crowned Sherrie Kelley queen. Usually the queen is crowned by the president of StuCo. However, this time, the president, Kelley, was a queen can- didate. Kelley said, Being chosen as student council president and now homecoming queen has made my sen- ior year wonderful and a great success. I've never been up there before. lt was exciting and interesting. After the crowning ceremony, the queen and attendants were seated on the float. Senior Linda Ault, vice-presi- dent of pep club, was in charge of mak- ing the float which formed the shape of a crown.

'Cu Harris qualifies for state Small squad settles for third in conference race by Eric White and Tracie Brown Perhaps one of the most difficult aspects of any sport for a team to take is when the team really puts out the effort, but simply doesnt have the abili- ty to be overly successful. Such was the case with the wrestling team. Though the season looked bright at the beginning of the year, injuries and apathy took their toll. 'KWe started out with 48 people, assistant coach Jerry Hood said, but school work or whatever, thinned the team out to about 20. Most of the guys couldn't handle the practices and being involved in a sport that required so much work. With so few wrestlers, many who Wrestling Design by Debbie Morman would normally wrestle JV had to strug- gle on the varsity level. In addition, matches had to be forfeited when the coaches couldn't find anyone to wres- tle in a weight division. The people who were left really worked, Hood said, even those whose record really wasn't that great. Mike Spellman and Jeff Nuss were especially helpful. And senior wrestler Robbie Harris felt, Coach Gensler did a real good job with what he had. Despite the team's overall poor performance, individuals excelled. Har- ris progressed through the district tour- nament at Excelsior Springs to the sec- tionals at Lee's Summit, where he qual- ified for the state tournament. 'KWe were all proud of Robbie when he went to state, Hood said. ln the state tournament, Harris was slated to wrestle a student from Normandy High School in St. Louis. Though Harris lost the bout, he said that he was satisfied to have had the opportunity to compete on the state level. Harris led the team with 88 take- downs and 16 judge's decisions. Over- all Harris accumulated 20 wins and one draw during the regular season. Other outstanding squad members included brothers Jim and Robert Charpie. Jim, who is a junior, led the squad with 19 two-point near falls and tied junior Dean Ramsey with 25 rever- sals for the squad lead. continued on page 145 91 Amd'- .ui :A At the beginning of his match, senior Robbie Harris tries to overtake his Fort Osage opponent.

The kids are working hard and trying hardf' said swim coach Lowell Heide, but we will be competing against year-round swimmers, and we won't compete very strongly. Their first meet Dec. 1, a triple dual meet at Raytown High School, proved to be quite a surprise when they took two matches. We were really excited about win- ning two matches, said Heide. Senior David Buckley placed sec- ond in the 100-yard butterfly and placed third in the 200-yard individual medley. l feel real good about the team and my performance at the meet, but we could do a lot better if we had a larger team and longer practices. Senior Jon Ward, a high point scorer in the meet, said, We did a lot better than we thought we could, and even though we need improvement in a lot of areas, the whole team is doing their best and we don't expect to win too many, but we are building a team. A dual meet with Raytown South and St. Joseph Central Jan. 6 proved to be too much for the Bears as they were defeated by Raytown South, 66- 13 and by Central, 64-60. We knew when we started that we could not compete with schools with good programs. When you con- sider our times with the holiday layoff, though, we have improved about as well as l expected, said Heide. Our goal is still to improve and be a better swim team at the end of the season, he said. lf we worried about having a winning season or being con- ference champions, we would be set- ting unrealistic goals. Senior Rob Fredenberg said, l think that we have the quality to win, but since we didn't have a team last year it has really hurt us this year. Sigc at fi' gy 'tips ly.: :ew-1 i,, -w.

Boys Swimming 147 Girls Basketball Varsity struggles winning season due to sophomores by Galinna Newby Being young and inexperienced, the girls varsity basketball team strug- gled through a season of disappoint- ment. Under the direction of Coach Bill Jones, the team tallied a record of 5 and 18, the second worse in the team's history. ln conference, the team tied for fifth place with a record of 2 and 8. Jonas said that the lack of varsity leadership and skill were the two major difficulties in the teamis performance on the court. I knew the girls were lacking in experience, he said, So l had to let them get out on the court and let them learn from their mistakesf, Senior Deanna Elliott said, As a team, we lacked the 'court knowledge' it takes to defeat some of the more experienced teams such as Truman or Hickman Millsf' Presenting yet another disadvan- tage was that the seniors playing varsi- ty had been under the direction of three coaches, all having different phil- osophies of coaching basketball. Jonas said that having a steady coach is very important to team sports. My philosophy of coaching was new to the girls and different from the other coaches that they had hadf' he said. Therefore it took a little time for them to get used to my style. Time was something the girls did not have enough Two talented sophomores domi- nated the team in both scoring and rebounding. Diane Hobbs led the team in scoring with 254 points. The coaches attending the Fort Osage Tournament voted Hobbs as the best all round play- er. Camille Willis lead the team in re- bounds with 203. Willis was also voted as the most improved player on the team. ln spite of the losing season, Elliott said that the team went out every game with a good attitude. Before every game we had a pep talk and then we'd go out on the court and give 100 per- cent, she said. A Experiencing victory throughout the season, the junior varsity team was much more successful, as shown by their 12 and 1 record. Consisting of 90 percent sopho- mores, the JV team proved to be a strong, well skilled group of girls who were determined to win.

Surprising many fans, perhaps even themselves, the varsity team won their first five games, which included a 58-36 trouncing of the Fort Osage Indi- ans in their first conference game. Those who make predictions, even the local newspaper, began looking at the Bears with a little more respect and began questioning their pre-season prouncement that Chrisman would fin- ish in the bottom half of the conference race, possibly in last place. Part of this early season splash included placing first in the William Chrisman Tournament by winning all three of their games in the four-team, round-robin tournament. During the Christmas break, the Bears sought another trophy at the William Jewell Tournament in Liberty. But the team's hopes for a first were dashed during the first game as Lee's Summit gave the Bears an embarrass- ing defeat by beating them 72-53. Senior forward Matt Huber ex- plained, We didn't work well together, didn't rebound well and our free-throw percentage was low. We just played poorly. After the resounding losses, get- ting psyched up for their second Sub- urban Middle-Six conference game wasn't easy. The Raytown Bluejays traded the lead with the Bears through- out the game, but when the final buzzer sounded, Chrisman was ahead, 48-47. Of the next five games, the Bears won only one, this to the Center Yel- lowjackets in the Center tournament. Losses to two other teams in the tour- nament forced the Bears to come home without another trophy. Included in this stretch was a conference loss to the Grandview Bulldogs in a 58-59 squeaker, which brought the Bears, conference record to two and one. Crosstown rival Truman was next on tap for the Bears and as usual the fans and the team were up for the game. The results though were disap- pointing as the Patriots defeated the Bears, 64-46. Following a conference loss to Ray- town South, 69-48, the team travelled to Springfield where they split a two- game series, first losing to Glendale, 71-49, but returning to the court the next night to defeat Hillcrest, 61-50. Returning to Independence with a 9 and 9 overall record, the Bears faced the most critical part of their schedule: six conference games in a row.

Huber earns Most Valuable continued from page 152 Bears were still in contention for the conference title. Losing the first of these critical games to Hickman Mills did not help the team's morale, especially since the Bears lost by just one point, 54-53. Following the loss to the Hickman Mills Cougars, the Bears won two con- ference games, one against Fort Osage, 51-40, and the other against Raytown, 61-57. Hopes for at least a tie in confer- ence were rekindled. But a hot Grandview team domi- nated the boards in the Bears next game and brought the Chrisman team back to .500 for the season as well as in conference, by defeating them, 77-59. lt was disappointing, Huber said. We had been playing so well in the last four games, then we had a letdownf' With two games left in the regular Boys Basketball Design by Jeff Radel play, the varsity squad knew they would have to win both to finish with a win- ning record. At worst, the Bears hoped to win one of those games to end the season at .500 and avoid handing Coach Landess his first losing season in 17 years of coaching Chrisman teams. After being soundly defeated by a stronger Raytown South team, 95-80, the Bears still had hopes of overcoming Hickman Mills in the last regular-sea- son game. The Bears led throughout the first three quarters, but couldn't keep up with the Cougars who defeat- ed Chrisman in the last few minutes of play, 69-66. Seedings in the district tournament pitted Chrisman against Fort Osage, a team the Bears had handled well during the regular season. But the Indians weren't about to allow the Bears to A ' Q . 5 -vt' ','-.i-,. .,x5,,,-,,-.M L 1 Player award shut them out tor the season.

Huber was named to the first team all Conference and to the second team all area. Matt Huber was one of the best offensive players ever at Chrisman, Landess said. In addition to the lack of expe- rience Landess worried about at the beginning of the season, the varsity lacked the depth necessary to keep the game's pace throughout the fourth quarter. Junior varsity squad members were often called upon to fill the holes on the varsity squad.

JV finished the season with a 4,11 record, with many of these games being lost in the second half. lt was discouraging, junior Jeff Dumas said. We lost a lot of close ones. It wasn't that the sophomores weren't that good, it's just that they lacked experience. Junior center Jim Bray came on strong late in the season and ended with the most points scored in a game for the JV season: he managed 23 points in the game against Hickman Mills. Turning the tide for the basketball squads, the sophomore team ended with a winning record, 9-7. Sophomores won all their home games, but had dif- ficulty adjusting onthe opposing team's courts: they won only one game on the road. I don't know what it was, sopho- more forward Rodney Henderson said. We played good at home, but on the road we couldn't get our act together. Their only away game win came at a good time, since this victory over Fort Osage earned the sophomores a third place trophy in the Blue Springs Tournament.

Inconsistent hitting and poor de- fense seemed to be the reason the team couldn't bring second-year coach Lowell Heide another winning season. I think that as a team we're a little disappointed about the outcome this season, Heide said. We thought that we'd do better. Though several team members hit well, others were inconsistent in their 1 Baseball Design by Jeff Radel hitting performances. Most devastating was the team's inability to get a hit in a clutch situation: the team lost six games by one run. Our hitting was off and on, Heide said. We lost a lot of games we should have won.', Senior Donnie McGowan, who led the team in homeruns with five, felt that the problem with hitting was par- tially a result of Heide's unwillingness to change the line-up. I like him tHeidel, but I think his niceness got in the way of us winning, McGowan said. When you're not hitting, you have to juggle the line-up, bench some people. ln addition to McGowan's hitting prowess, team captain Mike Tompkins, senior, hit four homeruns and ended the season with a .411 batting average. His .411 average earned Tompkins fourth place in the list of the five high- est batting averages in the school's his- tory. Another bright spot in the varsity team's season was the pitching per- formances of three starters: Stone, An- derson and Lomax. The best win-loss record among pitchers went to Stone, who won five and lost one. He finished the season with a 3.82 earned run average. l think that we did a good job this year, Stone said. We worked hard. Though he had the lowest earned run average among the starters, with a 2.03, Anderson ended the season with two wins and three losses.

Despite an impressive 2.58 earned run average, Lomax was unable to record any wins and was credited with four losses. Heide noted that the season rec- ords for Anderson and Lomax were deceiving and did not reflect their true abilities as pitchers, because he as- signed them to pitch to most of the tougher teams the Bear's faced during the season. At the end of the season, the pitch- ing staff averaged a creditable 2.85 ERA. Inconsistent hitting wasn't the only reason the pitching staff was unable to win more, defense was also a problem. Committing 46 errors in 19 games, many players admitted that defense was one of the weaker aspects of the team. Even though our pitching was good, Heide said, we didn't have the defense to back it up. But all wasn't downhill for the Bears. Winning the Independence City Tournament for the second consecu- tive year showed the team's ability as well as boosted team morale. After defeating the Fort Osage Indians, 9-3, May 1, the varsity Bears went on the same day to subdue the arch-rival Tru- man Patriots, 9-8, in the championship game. We played good ball that dayf' McGowan said. We got the big hits when we needed them. With their fourth place finish in the Suburban Middle Six Conference, the varsity managed to do somewhat bet- ter than the junior varsity team, who finished last in their conference race. Errors also plagued the JV squad. In their 12 games, team members com- mitted 66 errors. JV coach Lynn Snow- den attributed the team's defensive lapses to the overall inexperience of the team. For many team members this was their first season playing baseball on a high school team. Previous experience paid off for three juniors who topped the team's batting average. Rick Cash finished the season with a .344 batting average, while Jerry Romines finished with a .400. Leading the JV team in batting, Rick Clinton ended the season with a .410 average. But the rest of the team couldn't keep up with the leaders. De- spite the high batting averages of the top three, the JV team finished the season with a feeble .218 batting aver- age. They produced 71 hits and 71 runs. -Q , :A , i' . - :Je rl 'Y -, Zz, f :e ' -gif-fs-at i. . we L ......, ., .... : s- - .,.. Wag me q - .,i?3,.,., . -x.....X +. -- -.,, : ' -,.

This is the best junior varsity has done in a few years, said junior Barbara Easterla. Miss Sandy Hografe has been the JV coach since 1979 when the team was formed. She said this was her last year as coach because of personal rea- sons. One of the main reasons for the JV team's success was that there were three juniors who added experience to the team. We had a great season and we all worked together to make it that way, said sophomore Jolene Dewitt. Awards given to several key play- ers included best defensive player for the outfield, junior Tammy Foster, best infielder, sophomore Lisa Grubbsg best pitcher, junior Lori Wagner and best batting average, sophomore Ada Ramos with .474.

Whether the girls would have a swim team at all was in question at the beginning of the year, since Principal Thomas Herrick was unable to find a coach for the team. Finally, Mrs. Donna May, special education teacher, learned of the girls' plight and volunteered to coach the team. Though this was her first coaching experience, May had been a stroke and diving judge for the past few years with the YMCA. Even though the team did not win a meet, May was proud of the girls. Sure we didn't win any meets, she said, but I bet there is not a team around that practiced harder and tried more than these girls did.', Hard work paid off for senior Marla Swoffer, who qualified for the state meet in the 100-meter freestyle at dis- trict competition in Blue Springs. Swof- fer also led the team in points earned throughout the season, placing first in several individual events at many meets. Though Swoffer's season was out- standing, she felt, Everyone tried their hardest to make it a good year. Another highlight for the team came when junior Shannon Humphrey qualified for the finals at the conference meet in the 100-meter freestyle and the backstroke. Likewise at conference in the JV meet, sophomore Amy Nicholson plac- ed fourth in the 500-meter freestyle. Since the Independence School District does not have a school swim- ming pool, the girls had to practice and have their home meets at the YMCA pool. Practices were limited to one hour, since the pool had to be rented by the district and the girls had to warm-up for practices on their own. The girls were somewhat disap- pointed that their fellow students did not support the team more. Some- times like at Blue Springs, the other team had 50 people and we only had 10, but we tried our best, Humphrey said. Other team members felt the lack of support affected the team's perfor- mance. We all tried hard, but it is kind of a stick in the back when there is no one to watch your efforts, junior Kim Crawford said. Despite the lack of support, Coach May said, I really enjoyed this years girls team. I think that they really de- served better than what they got. I' QI fb, -e . mb ,62c13?'?mq Mui.- ...a J.

Unfortunately most of the boys on the team are just now becoming acquainted with the game and its difficulties. Once again the Bears suffered another losing season, winning only one game out of the 11 played. Going into conference the Bears were unable to take senior Chet Meirerarend, their number one position player, because of a previous committment he had made. As a result they went into conference with only sophomore players. We had a great time learning to play better golf, said Meirerarend, but you cannot build a good golf team around a bunch of guys who have never played golf before, the game is much too difficult. Golf has never had a strong follow- ing at Chrisman, Meirerarend attrib- utes this problem to the game's lack of publicity at school. In many years past we have not had a strong golf team and as a result not much was ever said about the team. If we lost we went unnoticed, if we won we might get a little recogni- tion. But the students are not really aware that we even exist. Perhaps if more students knew about the team more would become involved in it and then we could build a strong team,', Meirerarend said. With the experience sophomore team members have gained, perhaps the golf team will have something to look forward to in the years ahead. , ,,,...4-vi-,--1 . 0 During a match, junior Ryan Ritchel attempts to sink a putt that will give him a birdie.

Barnhard took first in singles in the conference tournament at Grand- view, Saturday, April 24. Kevin Hobbs advanced to semi-finals leaving the team with a 2-4 conference record. Coach Warren Landess feels that the team has improved throughout the year. Especially underclassmen Barry Williamson and Dennis Mills. Mills moved from the end of the varsity line- up to play in the No. 3 spot at the end of the season. The most consistent winners, ac- cording to Landess, were Barnhard and Hobbs. I was pleased with the team and my accomplishments, commented Barnhard. I feel we could have done a little bit better, but we did our best. I was surprised but glad to see Hobbs do so well. Also it was great to see seniors Jeff Radel and Keith Paden perform well at district. Landess doesn't see as much im- provement in the junior varsity team. They don't have the push they need to be a good team - there's little cooper- ation in attendance, he said, and I don't think they're as interested in ten- nis as they should be to be on a team. Landess felt that Paden was play- ing well considering the problems he had with a dislocated shoulder, as well as being in the No. 2 position on the team. He felt that the entire varsity team had learned a great deal and advanced their skill. In the district tournament May 7 and 8 at St. Joseph Central, Barnhard claimed a third place finish in the sin- gles category. Doubles team Paden and Radel made it to quarterfinals, leaving the team with fourth place overall. Landess said, Without Barnhard, it might have been like last year, when our top three players were out for injur- ies and we had to play against more advanced teams - Barnhard has been a big asset, and since we had our top players on the courts, our season was more successfulf' VARSITY JV OPPONENT WE THEY WE THEY Ruskin 2 3 5 0 St. Mary's 4 1 4 1 'Hickman Mills 3 2 4 1 'Fort Osage 3 2 Truman 1 4 0 5 'Grandview 2 3 2 3 'Fort Osage 2 3 3 2 'Hickman Mills 2 3 5 0 Ruskin 2 3 5 0 'Grandview 2 3 1 4 'Conference matches Recordr 6 wins. 3 Record: 4 wins, 6 lossesg conference: 2 wins, 4 losses losses During practice, senior Scott Barnhard uses his backhand to return a ball.

C 4th in State eet Team brings home lst relay medals from state by Sherry Vochatzer No relay team I have ever had has performed up to their potential as much as this year's 1600-meter relay team, said head track coach Bill Summa. He was talking about the mile relay team of seniors Jeff Ward, Kevin Prine, Garry Blevins and junior Joey Thomp- son. By placing third in sectionals, they qualified for state. The state track meet was at Jefferson City, May 21 and 22. Winning fourth at state with a time of 3223.5 and being the first relay team from Chrisman to earn medals at a 1 Boys Track Design by Jeff Radel state meet were the highlights of this relay team. We ran with everything in us almost every race. At the beginning of the year we knew we could do well, but we never expected to go so far as fourth in state, said Prine. Those qualifying for the sectional meet in addition to the 1600 relay team included the 3200-relay team of seniors Prine and Robbie Stanley and juniors Thompson and Jeff Dumas. I was dis- appointed that the 3200 relay didn't make it to state, but every relay team has their off days and this was just one of them for this team, Summa said. Other sectional qualifiers were senior Richie Abernathy who place a third in the discus in sectionals and ninth in state. Blevins won second in the 300-meter intermediate hurdles, set- ting a school record of 38.94 and quali- fying for state. Senior Myron Graham in the high jump and junior Mike Robi- son in the shot put also qualified for sectionals. Ending the season with a 1-2 meet record, the team placed seventh in dis- trict, sixth in both the Chrisman and the Rockhurst relays, fifth at the Rus- continued on page 175 During the junior varsity 1600 meter relay, sophomore Mark Pratt takes the hand off and tries to extend Chrisman's lead.

Relay team 1st at conference New coaches make changes, employ new methods by Anne Schwenk Beginning the season with two new coaches, Mr. Steve Davidson and Mr. Pete Allard, was a big change for team members this season. At first it was really hard getting used to new coaches who had different methods of training, but I think they did a really good job, said senior Sherry Vochatzer. While Davidson was busy coach- ing sprinters, shot putters, discus and high jumpers, Allard worked hard with distance runners, and long and triple jumpers. In dual meets the girls came out even with a 2-2 record, in a tri-meet against Truman and Van Horn they took second place. At the Twenty-second Annual Wil- liam Chrisman Relays the girls took fifth place overall, edging out Truman with 36 points. Surprisingly enough, without Carol Gebhards taveraged 36 points per meet last yearl we still managed to take fifth, said Davidson.

In the 3200 meter run Weinzatl took first with a 12:31.6 time. In the 100 meter dash Peterson took fourth place with 13:01, and Tay- lor took fifth with 13:03.

Spring Homecoming 179 Special Ol mpics pecial students rank high in area athletic competition by Natalie Rice Special Olympics was developed to give mentally and physically handi- capped students a chance to partici- pate in athletic events. Students begin at the regional level and may advance to state or national competition. About 450 contestants from schools in Clay, Platte, Cass and Jack- son Counties, including five Chris- man students, bowled in the area competition at King Louie Lanes, Oct. 3, Seniors Everett Kroutt and Roy Jenkins both received gold medals and trophies for high points in their age group. Kroutt and Jenkins also advanced to the state tourna- ment in Springfield, Oct. 25, 26 and 27. Brenda Cadwell, Ellen Shornhorst and Vincent Barnes all won second place, silver medals. A total of 27 Chrisman students competed at the Special Olympics competition in l.ee's Summit, Feb. 6. The girls basketball team won against Blue Springs by 12 points with a score of 26 to 14, placing them first in the competition. The boys team lost to Central with a score of 22 to 16. An individual event that students participated in was Run, Dribble and Shoot. Instructions were to shoot or dribble and then shoot from certain points on the court. Each basket was worth certain points which were add- ed to obtain a score. Russell Houston, a senior who has been paralyzed since birth with a spinal disorder and confined to a wheelchair, gave an outstanding performance in this event. Houston made four out of five freethrows and six out of 12 shooting attempts to bring home another gold medal and assure himself of advanc- ing to the state level, March 12, 13 and 14 in Blue Springs. Twelve girls from Chrisman also competed in two squads in the Cheer- leading competition and received gold medals. A banquet was sponsored at the Ararat Shrine Temple for Special Olympics Tenth Anniversary celebra- tion.

Seniors prepare to advance the ball over the under- classmen defensive line. Seniors end tradition, lose because of errors by Sherry Vochatzer For 15 years the Powderpuff tradi- tion has been carried on with the Sen- iors winning, with the exception of two ties in 1977 and 1978. But for the first time the underclassmen overpowered the seniors in the annual Powderpuff football game, Wednesday, Oct. 7. I thought it was a real let down because we played better and were more organ- ized than the underclassmen, said sen- ior Kathy Taylor. Student Council sold tickets for a dollar, making 3576, and accounting for approximately 550 spec- tators. Senior penalties contributed to the 7-2 score with the seniors racking up 90 yards while the underclassmen had only 25. Mr. Steve Davidson, senior coach, felt that the seniors made too many offensive errors. Yet he added, No question about it, we out-played them. We played with great aggression and enthusiasm. The seniors, as well as some underclassmen players, thought the seniors played a better game. After a special boys drill team per- formed during half-time, StuCo Presi- dent Sherrie Kelley crowned senior Mike Tompkins Powerpuff king. Rob- bie Harris and Mike Lewis were senior attendants. Other attendants were jun- iors Mitch Routon and Terry Whittle and sophomores Brian Titus and Bill Ledford. Tompkins said, I was so hap- py. I almost started crying. I didn't think I deserved to win, but I thought I deserved to win over Mike and Rob- bie. Junior player Tammy Foster said, I was glad we won, but if it wasn't for all of their mistakes we wouldnit have even been close. Senior quarterback Kathy Hustace said, It was a good game but the referees weren't fair and things just didn't go our way. Just before the game, the senior girls were cheered on by Coach David- son's comment that they were the best- looking football team he had ever coached. Many participated, with 25 girls on the senior team and 20 on the junior. Senior captains Kathy Hustace and Kathy Taylor led the senior team. For the underclassmen, captains were jun- ior Tammy Foster and sophomore Jo- leen DeWitt. Each team practiced about five times after school to prepare for the game.

Bold images make memories Clear, bright sunlight streams in through the unshaded window and the blaring voice of Bugs Bunny drifts into the room. Another Saturday morning begins yet bold reminders of a late Friday night still remain. A McDonald's cup with a picture of a smirking hamburger decorating its side and torn movie ticket stubs lie scattered along the top of a dresser. Carelessly tossed clothes create a bumpy, multicolored trail leading from the door to the foot of the bed. A silent, single form lies hidden in a sea of plump, over-stuffed pillows and goose- down comforters. Finally the eyes of the normally industrious student drag open. He feels a sudden fear at the time until he remembers what day it is. Afterwards he surveys the mess completely, then Portraits Design by Jeff Radel cautiously ventures out from beneath his quilt covered haven into the cold, surrounding world. The phone cord is twirled in high, graceful arcs as the day's activities are planned and school is left even further behind. A small yelling match erupts between brother and sister over who gets the last Twinkie. Punches are exchanged and the squashed cupcake is shared. Saturday fades into Sunday. Yawns are stifled during church service and an old fashioned dinner is served afterwards at Grandma's. That night Alice and the Jeffersons and Trapper John entertain the family until bed- time. The bold images formed over the week-end slip into night time dreams. Natalie Rice C Mr. Dennis Stewart jogs in the d t d h ll ft school. Portraits 185 Vice President Ray Morrison, DDS Board debates cords District plans changes by Beverly Felter Among the top concerns of the district administrators were preparing for the arrival of the freshmen and act- ing on the recommendations of the North Central visiting committee. In preparation for the incoming freshmen, district and school administrators worked together on such items as room utilization, staff utilization and distribu- tion of books and equipment. At Chris- man, the major change was renovation of classrooms to add a new foods room. Dr. Gail Williams, director of Secon- dary Curriculum, hoped it would be complete by mid-August. Concerning the suggestions of the North Central committee, Principal Thomas Herrick met with department heads and then made recommenda- tions to the administration. Some of these recommendations were acted up- on as early as January. The decision was made to eliminate sixth hour athle- tic gym, and a college credit chemistry class was planned for the 1982-83 aca- demic year. One fairly controversial issue raised by the North Central evaluators was graduation requirements. They suggested raising required credits from 20 to 22. However, this was one sug- gestion that was not taken. They also suggested allowing foreign languages to fulfill the language arts requirement. Williams said, We consider foreign languages to be an elective, just like journalism, speech and debate. The suggestion was made to increase enroll- ment in the department. Another minor controversy was the decision by the Board of Education to recognize the top 25 graduating sen- iors by having them wear honor cords at the graduation ceremony. Unfore- seen by the Board, students at both Chrisman and Truman protested. Com- mon complaints were that the cords would cause elitism and disunity in the class. Others did not like the fact that a percentage was not used instead of a number. Board member Mr. Fred Bo- zarth said the number was not meant to be tied with anything else. Bozarth had difficulty understand- ing what the student concern was all about. L'We wanted to recognize the graduating seniors, so we are. This is just another way of identifying visually the students at the top of their class, he said. He concluded by saying, lt fstudent protestl hasn't changed my mind a bit.

Principal Thomas Herrick said, It takes a lot of planning, more than people really realize. It's like a big jig- saw puzzleg trying to make all the pie- ces fit together. Having more students in the build- ing will make it tougher with lunch scheduling so having the freshmen com- ing up to the high school definitely will be different, but it will be a challenge, Herrick commented. Vice principal Mr. Clifford Mohn said, There could be as many as 20 new teachers and another counselor, maybe even another administrator. Preparing for the North Central Evaluation kept the administration busy in the fall. Vice principal Mrs. Pat Wilde chaired the North Central Evaluation Steering Committee. Wilde arranged for the invitations and accommodations for the 40-member visiting committee. She also retyped the book of evalua- tion. this took most of the summer. Working here only two days a week, Tuesdays and Thursdays, Mrs, Martha Sears is the new nurse on the staff, but is hardly new to the school district. She has been working for the district as a school nurse for 19 years. The other three days of the week Sears worked at Truman high school. Her duties include giving examina- tions for the Special Education stu- dents, so they can participate in sport activities, and keeping health records current for each student. Sears enjoys being a nurse and likes meeting new students. I have found the faculty most helpful to me, and I feel comfortable in Chrisman's atmosphere, she said. During the course of the school day, Principal Thomas Herrick prepares for a principals' meeting at Central Office. Principals 189 Evaluation initiates repairs I by Anne Schwenk With the North Central Evaluation looming ahead, custodians kept busy over the summer repairing what was broken, replacing old clocks with new, more accurate ones and as mainte- nance man Lee Moran said, getting everything up into what they consider in shape. A staff cut of four day-shift per- sons greatly affected the amount of work that is done. We can't keep up with everything, said Moran. I am doing the work of three people. This cut in staff left only one lady custodian, Mary Sharp, making it very difficult to keep all the girls restrooms clean as well as the girls lockerroom. Head custodian Duncan Taylor said, We do the best we can with what we've got. Taylor's hours were changed from 7 a.m.-3 p.m. to 11a.m.- 7 p.m. so he could organize and keep an eye on the four-hour boysn who work from 3-7 p.m. Although four people were also cut from the night staff, second-year student custodian Jeff Rogers, senior, enjoys his duties. I can really use the money and the hours are very good. Rogers works after school, 20 hours per week with weekends off. Junk food sales disturbing For many students a typical school lunch is a can of pop and a candy bar of some kind, but the sale of carbonated beverages, candy and gum during lunch violates federal rulings made by the Department of Agriculture in July, 1980. Schools receiving food subsidies are not allowed to sell junk food from the beginning of the school day to the end of the last lunch period. I think as young adults we are old enough to choose what we want to eat, all students should have the right to eat what they want, said senior Kathy Hustace. Cafeteria Manager Betty Griffith does not agree with the sale of these items. Last year while the non-carbo- nated beverages were sold, 175-250 more plate lunches and six more cases of milk were sold per day. If penalized for selling junk food, Griffith said, initially the kitchen staff would be cut by 50 percent - and also the lunch program would be less nutritional. Why then does the school sell these items? Principal Thomas Herrick said, We felt like that's what the stu- dents wanted. The biggest indicator of that was the use - the amount sold. They just didn't buy the Hi-C.

Clad in running shorts, special shoes and one of a variety of marathon T-shirts, Mr. Dennis Stewart, life sci- ences teacher, trains for whatever mara- thon race is coming up next each school day morning at 6:45. Students who stay after school may also have to dodge Stewart, since he often trains twice a day. You have to train hard, have a positive attitude and believe you are doing yourself some good, before you can be a success, Stewart said in an article in the Oct. 16 issue of the Envoy. And Stewart has met success in his running career. While attending the University of Kansas in 1970, Stewart was named All American for his per- formance on the two-mile relay team. His photo appeared on the cover of the March issue of Sports Illustrated that year. ln 1973, the Missouri Valley AAU named Stewart the most outstanding long distance runner and, in 1977, he was named to the University of Kansas Athletic Hall of Fame. Stewart began running seriously in 1968. Though he practices daily, he is not as interested in mileage as quality. I rarely go over 50 miles a week, he said in the Envoy article, but what l do is top quality. Stewart aimed for the Olympic trials in 1974, but a bone spur in his left heel, which had to be surgically re- moved, kept him out of the competi- tion. After recuperating from the oper- ation, Stewart has competed in nearly every marathon run offered in this area including the Macy's run and the gruel- ing Hospital Hill run. I think one of the hardest things about running is getting in shape for the first time, because you experience all types of pain. But after that it is a different type of pain, Stewart said. Stewart's interest in physical con- ditioning does not stop at running. For the past seven summers, he has taken two or three groups of 11 students hik- ing and climbing in Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado. ln addition to the physical-exercise aspects of the trip Stewart teaches the students camping techniques and how the National Park system operates. Requiring less physical endurance, but just as much concentration, Mr. Bob Dinsdale's hobby of taxidermy not only keeps him busy after school hours, but also brings in some income. Dins- dale's interest in taxidermy, preparing dead animals so that they remain look- ing life-like, grew out of his interest in continued on page 195 -A:4.fl Working carefully, Mr. Bob Dinsdale owns his own taxi- dermy shop where he spends many hours.

Photo by Marc Plowman Leisure-time pursuits MacDonald bicycles to save money, stay in shape continued from page 192 hunting and fishing. I just got interested, he said, and took some classes at the Kansas City Museum. Though he normally displays his craft only in his shop at home in Sugar Creek and at various taxidermy fairs around town, Dinsdale, who teaches physical education, brought several examples of his taxidermy including various wild ducks, quail and fish for a display in the school library. Junior Jeff McKerlie, a hunting and fishing enthusiast himself who has dabbled in taxidermy, said, The examples he displayed looked real good, better than I could do. I especial- ly liked the way he paints the fish. Dinsdale uses an air brush on the fish and flesh parts of birds to restore -Sri natural coloration. Many of the animals Dinsdale has mounted and kept were given to him. Other people pay him to practice his craft of taxidermy on their prize catch. What began as a hobby for Mr. Carl MacDonald, social studies teach- er, has become a mode of transporta- tion. MacDonald rides his bicycle to school every day, even in rain, sleet and snow, and has been doing so for three years. It's like someone saying that their hobby is driving a car. lt's just a cheap way to work, he said. Students seeing him on his way to school, decked out in a helmet and rid- ing clothes are apt to stare. At first I didn't know who he was, but I got to school one day and just asked him. I Qi think it's real neat that he has a hobby that saves him money, instead of cost- ing him, said junior Tracy Brown. But MacDonald sees bicycling as more than inexpensive transportation to school. In the summer months, he enters several bicycle-riding mara- thons, because these give him a goal to strive for. It's almost not a hobby anymore, it's part of my life, he said. Unique modes of transportation also interest Mr. Ed Russell, driver's education teacher. Russell's hobby, though, is a bit more expensive than MacDonald's. Russell flies private air- planes. His interest in flying emerged after his wife bought him a couple of flying continued on page 197 Gene Hoppe, MA. Social Studies Joe Jennings, BA. Mathematics Helen Johnson, BA.

After hours of study and 54 hours of practice-flying time, Russell earned his pilot's license this year. It was just something l've always wanted to do, he said. So I just went ahead and finished out the lessons and got my license. Russell found the test similar to the automobile driver's test, but more complex and difficult. Since his son attends school in Springfield, Missouri, Russell and his wife have flown in that direction several times since he earned his license. One of the more unique uses Rus- sell has put his newly acquired skill to was helping out two senior boys after the state track and field meet in Colum- bia, May 25. Since the state track meet was the same day as the Senior Prom, Kevin Prine and Garry Blevins worried that they would not be able to return to Independence in time to attend the Prom. Russell came to the rescue though and flew Prine and Blevins back in time to don their tuxes, pick up their dates and attend the prom. ln the early morning hours, Nlr.

The Senior Class ficers are busy planning and prepar- g the Senior Prom and the Senior anquet. The Junior Class officers are so busy preparing their own prom id so, the sophomores are left with most nothing. Because of this, in re- znt years their position has become tle more than an honorary title. By ie end of the year few of the officers' assmates can even remember who iey elected. Why then are Sophomore lass officers needed? The Sophomore Class officers may not do a whole lot but I think they are important to keep up morale. We have two classes ahead of us and some- one has to remind them that we're here,', said Kris Grubb, Sophomore Class president. HI don't think our Sophomore Class has very much spirit and they need the officers to get them interested in student council and other school activities, said Robin West, Soph- omore vice president, To aid in increasing class spirit, the officers held two poster parties and two different money-raising projects. The sophomores first tried selling pens for 31.50 each, but ended up going in debt 37. 'fl think the pens didn't sell be- cause of their price. People just didn't want to spend 31.50 for a pen. We ended up taking the pens to Chrisman Junior High where they sold a lot bet- ter, said Karen Smith, treasurer. Another reason the pens didn't sell was because of their size. They were so fat that people felt like they were back in Kindergarten. We proba- bly should have stuck to selling some- thing a little more trustworthy like but- tons, said Robin West, vice-president. After the pen sale the sophomores sold key chains and posters.

Contrary to this belief, sopho- more responses to a survey distributed by the Glecim staff show that at least one-third of the sophomores are em- ployed. It also showed, however, that half of the students unemployed felt that their age was the cause. I applied at Wendy's restaurant and they said I had to be 16 years old because of a law, said 15-year-old Elaine Sherwood. It makes me mad. I don't think itis a fair law. The law Sherwood speaks of doesn't exactly say businesses cantt hire anyone under 16, but it does res- trict hours and times 14 and 15 year olds can work. Although 90 percent of the Soph- omore Class hope to be employed be- fore they are out of school, there are those who hope to not have to work until they graduate. Sophomore Jolene Dewitt pointed out, I feel my grades will hold up better if I don,t have to worry about work. I,ll have more time to study and I can join as many activi- ties as I want without having to worry about having to take off work. The survey also revealed that most of those sophomores employed were working at a fast food or family restau- rant. Other jobs held by the tenth graders include retail salespeople, con- struction workers, and of course, lawn- mowers and babysitters. Despite the fact that a lot of sopho- mores work, most teachers and coun- selors questioned on the subject of employed sophomores felt that stu- dents shouldn't be holding a job while they're still attending school. Miss Dor- othy Bales, sophomore counselor, said, Jobs create more responsibility for students and grades tend to fall.

Potter develops early interest in community political arena by Debbie Morman Decked out in ,76 CarterfMondale buttons, sophomore Steve Potter has taken a unique interest in the field of politics at the age of 16. Potter first became interested in politics in 1976, when his second cousin ran for magis- trate judge. He was asked to help with the campaign, and that is when he began taking a serious interest in gov- ernment and politics. Even though he has met many government officials from the Independ- ence area, Potter feels the highlight of his hobby was when he helped his cou- sin win the primary elections and ulti- mately the general elections as well. Potter seems to enjoy winning the most, but as he says, It's not every- thingfi He likes the democratic process of people electing their choice for office and therefore knowing a little more about those who run the government. Though Potter finds a few unplea- sant aspects about politics, such as corruption, this has not dampened his enthusiasm. He believes that such prob- lems can be found in most other as- pects of life. Potter is a member of the Student Political League, has signed up to help Councilman John Carnes with his cam- paign for the 5th Congressional District seat, and is in the National Forensics League. Eventually, Potter would like to run for an office in a 1984 campaign or work for the possible Ted Kennedy presidential campaign in Missouri. His future goal includes running for a major office in government, such as a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.

But soph- omore Robin Rogers has reason to be especially proud, she refurbished her '69 Camaro herself. Though girls don't often get into car repair, Robin doesn't see herself as unfeminine. Mostly itis guys who find it very interesting to work on a car, Robin said, but l think, if you're a girl and get stranded out someplace with car trouble, it would be nice to know how to fix things. Robin's interest in mechanics emerged as she helped her father work on cars, Dad always worked on motors, and when l was little, l was fas- cinated with everything about them, she said. Last July Robin bought a '69 Cam- aro and began fixing it up. By Novem- ber, Robin had replaced the suspen- sion system and tires and touched upn the interior. Altogether she spent ap- proximately fB2000 to get the interior of the car ready for the Dale Starbird Productions Rod and Custom Car Show, Nov. 8. Immediately before the show, Robin spent 48 hours cleaning and polishing her Camaro inside and out. Her hours of hard work, as well as the money she invested paid off: the Camaro earned First Place in the mild custom division and Third Place in out- standing custom interiors. I think of my hobby as special, not all 16-year-olds have a chance to own a car like I am fortunate to have, Robin said. Robin has no intention of custom- izing cars for a living. She plans to major in computer science in college and keep customizing as a hobby.

D 8: D craze hits Chrisman by Beverly Felter How would you like to choose between opening a door to unknown dangers and fighting a seven-headed dragon? Those are exactly the choices you would face playing Dungeons and Dragons. D and D,,' as habitual players call it, is a game based more or less on chance. Players roll dice and then look up the number to see what it repres- ents. Then they decide which danger they would prefer to face. Behind the door can be a monster ranging from simple slime to a seven-headed dragon. Anyone who has attended a sci- ence fiction convention has probably heard people talking about this game. However, cons are not the only place to play D8cD. Here at Chrisman a group of gamers started a club to en- sure a place to play and people to play with. They met on- Mondays, Wednes- days and Fridays in the West Cafeteria. Although the whole school was invited, average attendance at games was six or seven. Each player has one or more char- acters. These characters fall into four classifications - fighter, magic user, cleric and thief. Their characteristics, which include strength, intelligence, wisdom, dexterity, constitution and charisma, are determined by the roll of the dice. Besides being classified by occu- pation, characters are ranked in class- es. Everyone begins at level one. Soph- omore Jon Peters, who started playing DSLD at scout camp, explained the lev- els. You move up by experience points. Each gold piece you steal is worth one point or killing a gold dragon might get you two or three thousandf, Points necessary to move to the next level vary with the type of character. Characters are not immortal. As long as the number of hit points is above -10, the character stays alive. Sometimes characters do get killed, but with enough money they can be resurrected. When most people think of a game,H they think of a competition between two or more people or teams in which somebody wins. That is not what a Dungeons and Dragons game is like. It is more of a fantasy adventure. As Peters put it, You take your char- acter into a dungeon or roving around the countryside. You steal money, kill monsters or sometimes you just blow your money.

Photo by Kathleen Reimcil occer enthusiasm grows by Kathleen Reimal Soccer is a sport that has been a little slow catching on in this country, but once the ball got rolling it seemed that everyone wanted to kick it. Independence has been no excep- tiong the black and white balls that once couldn't be given away are now selling for anywhere from S50-S120 apiece. Minor league teams have popped up where there used to be only green fields and even church and civic organizations have gotten into the act. One of the largest leagues in the area is the one sponsored by the RLDS, called BVAC. A lot of students from Chrisman play BVAC soccer and one of them is sophomore Paul Brookens. Paul has played soccer for three years. I have played for the BVAC team right up the street from me ever since I have played. I really like the sport, Paul said. Paul plays soccer five months out of the year. He plays in the spring and in the fallg Paul said he likes playing in the spring the best because it is not as cold and the ground is softer. It is a lot easier to run and fall in mud than when the ground is frozenf' said Paul. Not all of his time is spent on soccer though. Paul is very involved in music. He sings in Blue and Gold, Concert Chorale and plays the violin in the orchestra. Soccer has become a family affair for Paul. His sister Margaret, a 1981 graduate of Chrisman, has played soc- cer for about two years and Paul says that she was born to play the game. I play mostly for recreation and to keep in shape, said Paulg but he does plan to play in college if the school has a team. Paul plans to major in compu- ter programming but he does not know yet where he will be attending. lt's about time that Kansas City got a soccer team, said Paul. Although he didnit get a chance to go to any of the games in the Comets first season Paul did see a few games on TV and he plans to get season tickets for next year. Chrisman really needs a soccer team. Hopefully we could have one by my senior yearf' Paul said. if 4,-3 Rick Zaner John Zupon if Lisa Weisz Bruce West Robin West Tina Westlake Patty Wheeler Eddie White Julie White Michele White Robin White Teresa Whitson Debbie Wilcox Eddie Wilcutt James Wilkinson Jennifer Wilkinson Mike Wilkinson Sherri Wilkinson Denice Williams Greg Williams Michael Williams Camelle Willis Connie Wilson Jerry Wilson Michelle Wilson if at , ' , A 2 f vt .

Struggle to unite junior clasf - results in successful prom by Anne Schwenk Despite lack of cooperation among officers, the junior class officers worked hard to get the junior prom rolling. There was not a lot of coopera- tion among the officers. lt was not that we disliked each other and could not get along, but that we each had differ- ent ideas as to how something should be done and we had a hard time getting together and agreeing on one idea, said President Becky ,Moore To raise extra money for the prom, the officers invited any member of their class who was willing, to join them in the sales of all-occasion stationery and Clifford Abel Sandy Adams Carroll Addams Jim Adden Jana Adkins Randy Adkins Tracy Adolphsen . if ' ' Q: ,qi A i .Z uf F F 1 ,' xg 'W A . 4.05 1 1 .., A Debie Akers Karen Alexander Angi Amande Taniera Allcock Jon Anders Sheryl Anders Debbie Andrews L-J Leslie Anglin Jay Ash Rick Ashley Brent Austin Jim Bailey Randy Bailey Susan Barker David Bartosik Barbie Bates Michelle Baxter Janell Beasley Howard Bearce Robin Behee Donnie Behler ' ' 5 David Bell Larry Belzer Jeff Bennett Sarah Bennett Jeff Berry Kim Bessmer Lissfi Bishop Q ' Design hi, Dehhie Morman gift wrap.

Everything went really well at QC F , -J TT prom, we had a really good turnout ar everyone really enjoyed themselves said Moore. Many felt that the junior class w. lacking in spirit and involvement. A lot of other students do nt think we have any school spirit, sa junior Shannon Humphrey, but v have just as much as the next class ar we are just as involved as any oth class in the school. I feel everything went really wi for us this year, said Moore. Pro was a success and we have a got class that is willing to become involve and do things for their school.

About 30 people at- tended the training camp with three students coming from the Kansas City area. It was fun because I got to meet people from all over the United States and I thought it was really interesting to learn about another country, Humph- rey said. At the camp Humphrey learned more about the Sister Cities program. Before I went to the camp I didn't have any idea what Sister City was about, but the more I found out, the more interested I became, she said. l-ligashimrayama, a city in Japan, is the Sister City to Independence. Every summer 9 or 10 students involv- ed in the program are invited to visit their Sister City and stay with a family for four weeks. Humphrey is one of the students who will be going to Japan from June 16-July 15. Through many interviews, applica- tions and hours of involvement, she was one of the few students selected. It will be the experience of a lifetime. I am really interested and excited in see- ing the differences in cultures between the U.S. and Japan, she said. The local Sister City International organization meets at the Truman Li- brary. Guest speakers who have been to Higashirayama, or other sister cities tell about the foreign cities and often show slides. Membership in the organi- zation is open to students. In order to encourage more high school students to become interested in the program, Mrs. Molly Hankins, youth coordina- tor, showed slides of Japan at an assem- bly for interested students in the little theatre, Dec. 21. About 25 students attended. President Eisenhower founded the Sister City International Program, Sept. 11, 1965. The purpose of the organization is to officially link United States cities with Foreign Cities in long- term relationships. This implements cul- tural, educational, technical and com- mercial exchanges through people, ideas and materials to foster interna- tional and intercultural understanding. ttf' -ilk 1 Va '.'l'7'l if 49. 9 Before going to Japan, junior Shannon Humphrey looks at souve- nirs Mrs. Donna May brought back from Japan.

Lela was hon- ored by being a member of the group of 54 girls from all over the nation chosen for the All-American Drill Team. Lela, second-year member of the Beartrack- ers, will remember the honor for many years. Lela said, Last summer at drill team camp l received all three of the ribbons in my class and I guess that is why I was selected for All-American. I was really surprised to get my letter and certificate from them notifying me that I was a member. l'm still trying to believe it. Lela, along with the other mem- bers of the All-American Drill Team performed on national cable television Nov. 28 during halftime of the Dallas Mavericks professional basketball game live from Reunion Arena in Dal- las, Texas. The drill team members stayed at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Dallas. The hotel invited the girls to perform Friday at noon, but Merical wasn't able to since her plane didn't arrive until Friday afternoon. Lela said they had to get up early Saturday morning to learn most all of the routine, but said, lt wasn't any worse than camp when we had to get up at 6:30 in the morning to march on the practice field' Mrs. Jennifer Mitchell, Beartrack- ers sponsor, said, I was very proud of Lela, she was definitely a good repre- sentative of Chrisman. I was excited, but not surprised that she was select- ed. She's very talentedf' Lela went to the performance by herself. I wasn't really nervous until that day came, she said. She has per- formed before many audiences since she was three years old, when she joined the march and dance group the Soul Strutters. Lela stayed with the group until her sixth grade year. Lela became a cheerleader her freshman year at Chrisman Junior High School. She feels that both experiences helped her to learn how to keep from becom- ing very nervous and really influenced her decision to try out for drill team her sophomore year, especially since she loves to dance so much. Lela said, VII always remember the experience. It was really fun and a great honor.

KT V7 ' . Erica Werner has the potential . to become professional player by Jeff Radel With the support of her parents, junior Erica Werner has made playing tennis a major part of her life. Moving from New Jersey at the age of eight, she found herself bored with the typical summer life and eventually found her- self on a tennis court with the essen- tials and the desire to play. When she was in the eighth grade, she took les- sons from Mr. Warren Landess, boys tennis team coach. That is how it all started for Werner. Coming to Chrisman her sopho- more year, she played the No. one position on the girls tennis team. After her year of high school tennis she moved on to the Indian Creek Racquet Club where she now takes private les- sons to improve her already well-deve- loped skills. Werner feels that her worst 2 Juniors Design by Debbie Morman shots are high backhands, while her best assets are her serve and volley. During the 1981 summer, Werner traveled to the Woman's Tennis Asso- ciation summer tennis camp in Deer- creek Beach, Florida. This is the ulti- mate tennis camp for girls and I really enjoyed the tennis environment, said Werner. Though plagued by several injur- ies, Werner has still managed to com- pete in several tournaments, the big- gest of which was the 1981 Kansas City Open. She failed to place. In the future, she sees national tournaments and hopefully the Avon Futures. I guess I like tennis because it is the only sport that I have participated in and haven't hurt myself. I am rather accident prone, Werner said. In the near future, Werner is plan- ning to move to Florida where her fa- ther was transferred. This is fine with her because Florida is a good tennis state, she said. Tennis is a definite career possibil- ity, though she only considered this a year ago. My coach said I have what it takes to be really good, and I enjoy playing, so I guess this wouldn't be a bad career choice, Werner said. At 16 years old, Werner says she cannot play any other sports because she has lost her talents for them by playing tennis. She said she used to be fairly good in several sports, but now that she plays tennis, she has lost touch with the others. Since she has been playing tennis, Werner believes that she now has better concentration and is a more outgoing person.

Of course this is not a part of the average high school student's day, but to Shannon and six other Chrisman students it became a common occur- rence while they attended the Presi- dential Classroom in Washington, DC. The Presidential Classroom was designed to increase student awareness of the government and of its functions by letting high school students from across the United States and other countries experience it firsthand. lncluded in the week-long stay are seminars, tours of the Washington area and government buildings, plus student discussion groups. There is a dress code and the entire group is divided into 10 sections. Some students from Chrisman were sponsored by area ser- vice groups such as the Rotary Club or the Lions' Club while other students paid for the trip with their own money. Those attending included Aaron Woods, Kim Bessmer, Kelly Maddox, Shannon Humphrey, Beth Tignor, Ryan Ritchel and Sherrie Kelley. Returning from Washington, DC., junior Beth Tignor shares her memo- ries of the trip. 539 We stayed four people to a room and they gave us absolute freedom so you had to be responsible or get sent home early. We got to meet our sena- tors and representatives, or, in most cases, their office aides plus we spent two days at Capitol Hill, toured the Smithsonian Institute, and went to a really nice dinner and theatre, said Kelly Maddox, junior. t'Everyone was required to attend the seminars which lasted about an hour and a half. There were about four seminars a day and after each speaker, who usually focused his talk on a dif- ferent area of the government, we got to ask questions. We also had discus- sion groups, mostly about current events. lt was sort of like a mass debate since no two viewpoints were the same. The Southerners would really get hot, said Kim Bessmer, junior. Lemuel Tucker was one of the most interesting speakers at my semi- nars. He spoke about the mass media's role in government and told us some of his own experiences like being the first reporter on the scene when Reagan was shot and about covering the Iran- ian crisis. Still l enjoyed the Library of Congress the most, said Humphrey. new '11 K -iii? k r 35 K si., , V, l 5 ..i if 9 6 , 'J eg , 1' , ...nm f f. 1 6 - -z- , S3 ' 63 ,. at Q s x, 5 e f , ms ' P . ., t isis i W g , lie ,f H Q 4 M 5. . 1 '5f-4?

His works include drawing two year- book covers for William Chrisman Jun- ior High School, designing the girls tennis team shirts, the boys baseball team shirts, pins for the juniors that say We'll be free in '83',, and a character drawing of Mr. Stephens that appeared in the Dec. 11 issue of the Enuoy. Covey said, The girls tennis shirts turned out okay but not as good as l had hoped for. Having been in art classes since seventh grade, Covey is now in Art lll class. He entered some of his work in the Scholastic Art Show at Crown Cen- ter. There he received an honorable mention in the pencil drawing category. Last year he attended the Kansas City Art Institute to gain a little more knowl- edge about art that he couldn't receive here at school. Enjoying what he does, Covey hopes to always have his art to keep him busy. He said, lt is something to show for all my time and gives me something to do that l like. Most of his best work he has given to friends, so all he has really kept for himself are pro- jects that didn't work out. His plans are to attend a four-year college, preferably with a scholarship to help pay for his education. He hopes to major in art or commercial advertis- ing. 'Cf fl J t ,X .

The food consisted of prime rib, green beans, tossed green salad and sherbet for dessert. Refreshments consisted of nuts, mints and punch. I thought the punch was real good,'i junior Brian Tate said. Lack of support was the reason the Junior Prom was almost called off. Becky Moore, Junior Class president, said, We had to go around to rooms and ask for downpayments. We did it, even though we were still short four deposits. One change was the absence of the class awards that are usually pres- ented at this time. I wish they would have had the awards because it is always neat to see who your class picks to represent a category, said junior Victor Smith. The total cost of the prom was 5200. This included dinner, pictures of each couple and a sound system for dancing. To raise extra money for the prom, officers and any other member of the Junior Class were given the opportuni- ty to sell all-occasion stationery and gift wrap. The man who was in charge of our orders messed them up and went on an out-of-town business trip so we only made a S50 profit, Moore said. Although there was a problem with lack of cooperation, the few peo- ple that helped, pulled it off smoothly, junior David Heitz said. Though many of those attending were dressed in formals, they didn't only dance to slow songs. I thought the highlight of the prom was when everyone did the worm to 'Rock Lobs- ter' in their formals, junior Rick Cash said. The Marriott staff was really im- pressed with our group and how they acted because they are used to dealing with frat parties so they welcomed us back next year, said Moore.

Officers were Aleasha Harris, pres- identg Keith Paden, vice president, Deb- bie Morman, secretaryg Kathy Taylor, treasurer. To achieve their goal, offi- cers arranged for the senior class to work at concessions during a football game and the Chrisman Track Relays. With the help of student council the senior class was able to share in the money-making projects of selling sen- ior T-shirts and Chrisman Relays T- shirts. Money from these activities helped eliminate the debt and pay for the class gift to the school which was a new podium presented by Harris at the Senior Assembly, May 19. Much more time is spent planning these events than most people realize. A survey was taken at the beginning of the school year to determine whether the prom should be at school or away. Most seniors preferred to have it away Seniors Design by Jeff Radel lacks support from school. So the officers called and toured many places. They finally settled on the Radisson-Muehlebach Hotel. Money for the prom, which was May 22, 7 p.m.-midnight, came from selling tickets at 3522 per person. ln addition to the prom another activity just for seniors was the senior banquet, at the Laurel Club. Though officers spent a lot of time on the ban- quet only 157 seniors attended. One of the sponsors for the senior class, Mr. Ray Ettinger, felt there were a few drawbacks. There was over extension of officers, they were in- volved in a lot of other activities also, said Ettinger. On the other hand, Harris felt the problem stemmed from class spirit. There was the lack of support from the senior class, she said. Ettinger also saw a communica- tion problem. Many seniors would miss the announcements and would never find out about the activities, he said. 1 i i 'rf' ,.

Along with hundreds of other area students, the three took an aptitude test, the Preliminary Scholastic Apti- tude Test. This was a qualifying test to determine their eligibility. With a 9 in 10 chance of advancing to National Merit Finals, the three sen- iors took the SAT CSchoIastic Aptitude Testl which determined their finalist eligibility. Most of the finalists received some sort of scholarship based on the stu- dent's SAT test score and family finan- cial need. Anson was offered a Missou- ri college scholarship on just her semi- finalist status alone. Anson said, I'm considering at- tending William Jewell for a year and then on to KU. Curtis and Felter have both de- cided to attend the University of Mis- souri. Curtis and Felter's parents are, or at one time were, employed as teach- ers. Curtis said, 'LMy mother used to teach advanced math before she mar- ried, and that helpsfi Since my mother teaches grade school, I started reading at the age of three, Felter said. I believe that gave me the start I needed. According to the counseling staff, Chrisman qualified more students this year than in several years. Along with the three girls, Annette Carnahan, David Hensarling, Jeff Johnson and Randy Pratt were commended for their performances on the PSAT. Last year no seniors qualified. According to Mrs. Katie Turner. the last senior to win a National Merit Scholarship was Laylee Anson, MeIanie's sister, in 1979.

This year's outstanding seniors were David Hensarling and Becky Jen- sen. In honoring youth appreciation week, the Independence Optimist Club honors two students from Chrisman, Truman and Van Horn annually the second week of November. At the time of election both seniors were surprised. I did not expect to win. I was surprised there were not more people nominated, said Jensen. Hensarling and Jensen thought it was a great honor. 'LI was excited my senior class thought enough of me to choose me to be outstanding boy, said Hensarling. Hensarling and Jensen both excel in academics. Jensen has an S+ aver- age and Hensarling maintains an E average. Hensarling is involved in many activities. He has been on the school baseball team and football team all three years of high school. He is also a member of Science Club and National I-Ionor Society. Jensen has been active in Student Council all through high school. She is secretary of Key Club and of Student Council also. She has been a member of M Club for two years and was also a member of Concert Chorale. Jensen has also participated on the girls soft- ball team the past two years and the tennis team her junior and senior years. As a part of the honor of their position, Hensarling and Jensen attend- ed a luncheon given by the Independ- ence Optimist Club, Nov. 11. At the luncheon, the students had an oppor- tunity to speak before a group on their goals and interest. Each student received a copy of the Optimist Club's creed and a plaque containing the names of past year's outstanding seniors. The plaque is dis- played in the main office. Every year the administration chooses an outstanding citizen for the Daughters of American Revolution award. This year the outstanding citi- zen was Sherrie Kelley. I was really surprised.

Since then, she has per- formed throughout the midwest at county fairs and country music festi- vals, pursuing a career in country music singing. lt's not as glamorous as most people would think, Delisa said. 'lWhen you're on the road, you never get to do what you want when you want to do it. Delisa's contacts with the country music scene have come through her mother, who at one time wrote for The Country Music Round Up, a country music magazine published in Nashville. The Wilburn Brothers are friends of Delisa's family and they have encou- raged her to pursue a career in country music. With this kind of backing, Delisa is confident that she could do well, since Loretta Lynn began down the road to success with the Wilburn Broth- ers. During the summer between her sophomore and junior year, Delisa per- formed at country fairs throughout the midwest and in Kentucky, warming up the crowds for such widely known country music artists as Kitty Wells, Little Jimmy Dickens, Farren Young, Donna Fargo and even Loretta Lynn. Performing throughout the area has brought Delisa contacts with im- portant country music promoters such as Jay Lee Webb, Loretta Lynn's broth- er. Webb is encouraging Delisa to rec- ord some of his songs. Delisa is realistic about attaining fame as a country music singer. lt just depends how everything works out, she said. In the meantime, Delisa keeps singing and hoping for the best. Walking onstage, Delisa Harris, senior, prepares for yet another concert.

Q. . -. ff?- WM owling more than a hobby by Jeff Radel In his fifth year of serious bowling, senior Bryan Mclntyre is considering moving to professional status this sum- mer. He wants to obtain a regional-pro- fessional card which will entitle him to bowl in professional tournaments in Missouri and six surrounding states. McIntyre practices mainly at the Blue Ridge Bowl beneath the Blue Ridge Mall. Bowling there with profes- sional Garry Zumalt two or three times a week, McIntyre continually tries to improve his game. When he is not bowling with Zumalt he practices on his own. I usually practice between three and four hours a day. A normal prac- tice consists of bowling game after game, working on different shots, spins, and approaches. I don't even keep track of the score when I practice, McIntyre said. Mclntyre got his start in bowling by working part-time in a bowling alley. There he could bowl for free. I became interested in bowling when I saw peo- ple winning money at the tournaments held there, McIntyre said. Bowling is the only sport that Mcln- tyre participates in. He even manages to support his personal needs through his earnings. His total winnings over the last two years total somewhere between S4500-85000. His major achievements are in the Tournament Bowlers Association com- petition. In this he has three first place victories and five second place victo- ries. As he began league bowling, Mcln- tyre found that he was the youngest participant in each level. Despite his age, he has bowled with such esteemed bowlers as Dick Weber, Nelson Burton Jr., and Dave Soutar. Mclntyre is not an average bowler. He seeks out perfection and finds it. A perfect 300 game consists of ten strikes in a row. Mclntyre has had 19 perfect games in his short bowling career. I think if I practice more I could beat people on the top of the professional ranks, he said. Concentrating on his form, senior Brian McIntyre spends many hours practicing.

Spirit? Yes, Sherrie has it and the student body knows it. Not many were surprised when the announcer named Sherrie Miss School Spirit for 1982. Not that the other candidates were not worthy. The three girls represented the best examples of school spirit in the senior class and pep club members acknowledged this when they named Linda Ault, Sherrie Kelly, and Kathy Taylor as candidates. Perhaps, though, Sherrie was the most visible of the three candidates. Not only was she co-captain of drill team, but she also maintained a busy schedule as Student Council President. A member of Shays Literary Society, she also participated in the Presidential Classroom in Washington, D.C. Kevin Prine who was unable to attend the ceremony because of a com- mitment to debate, was named Mr. School Spirit. Kevin's father represent- ed him at the half-time ceremony. Prine showed his spirit as Vice President of Student Council, being on the debate team, a member of C-Club, track team, cross country team and being a yell leader. Other candidates were Keith Pa- den and Jeff Rogers. Mr. School Spirit and Miss Pep received a special pin from Carolyn Nichol, president of Pep Club.

She has done all this through Junior Achievement. I got started in J.A. my sophomore year, I heard it on the intercom and it sound- ed like fun. I went to the first meeting and from then on I was hooked on it, said Chris. Her junior year Chris was active in Achievement Association which is a lot like Chrisman's StuCog a representa- tive from each company got together to discuss the problems that their busi- nesses faced and tried to find solutions for them. J.A. has helped Chris learn about selling, marketing, manufacturing and management.

Photo by Kathleen Reima! Chris learns in JA Senior initiates grade school program which'manufactured T-shirts and de- cals. This year my company sold liq- uid soap and we did pretty good. We won company of the year, said Chris. Chris won third place as president of the year and second place for her essay on 'Good Ethics in Business' at the Mid-West Conference this year. Since her sophomore year, Chris had been a teacher's aid at Mill Creek Elementary school, she went one day a week and this year she helped the fifth grade teachers. Chris also taught a Business Basics Program to a fifth grade class at Blackburn Elementary. She wrote her own lessons and made up games which taught how to inter- view and company policies. I was cho- sen to do this because I had received the top scholarship from J.A. fS1000j,', said Chris. Whether I succeed or fail will determine if there will be other pro- grams next year. During the summer there were four different commercials made at channel 41 to promote J.A. to the TV viewers. Out of the four Chris was in two of them. I was only supposed to do one but one of the people didn't show up so I did his also, said Chris. Even though most of her time is spent with J.A., Chris still tries to find time to be with her friends, go horse- back riding, camping and just to be in the outdoors. After high school she plans to go to college and major in bus- iness administration or business law. Being involved with J.A. has helped her make this decision over the two years. J.A. is a way to get experience for the future. J.A. helps show you how to keep financial records and everyone can use that, Chris said.

Although fast food is often scorned by parents and is not a necessary health requirement, a survey given by the Gleam' staff found that the average student claims he eats out at least twice a week. Ranking first among the students' choices was McDonald's with 60 per- cent. In second place was Taco Bell with 25 percent, and in third place, Wendy's with 15 percent. Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun seemed to be the most popular item at McDonald's. Seemingly many students have Big Mac attacks during the school day. I like Big Macs because they are great ham- burgers and they are very inexpensivef' said senior Rob Stanley. I like McDonald's because they have a great variety of food and Big Macs are the best,'l Australian AFS student Tracy Church said. Mexican food was also very popu- lar among students. My favorite place to eat is Taco Bell because it is always good and inexpensive, also it is always open the latest, said senior Garry Blevins. Taco Bell has really fast service and the food is always good, said sen- ior Susan Walker. I really like the drive-through win- dow because you don't have to get out of your car and it is just a lot easier, said senior Linda Thomas. Hot and juicy hamburgers also ranked high with seniors. I like Wendy's because their ham- burgers are always the best,', said sen- ior Mike Lewis. I like Wendy's because it is not merely a fast-food joint like McDon- ald's, but it is a restaurant where you can come in and get a good meal, said senior Jeff Radel, who works at the Wendy's on M-291.

Changes have been made since their graduation but the memories of the school still stand. 0Mrs. Louise Copridge, mother of senior Bonita Copridge, was espe- cially amazed at how the school has increased in size. Mrs. Copridge was a graduate of the class of 1965. 0 Mrs. Wanda Hill, also class of 1965, mother of senior Melissa Hill, praised the school by saying that the students now have a better selection of subjects to choose from. Cn the other hand, Mrs. Hill felt the teachers could be more concerned about their stu- dents. 0 Mr. Samuel B. Harris, Sr., and Mrs. Nancy E. Harris, both graduates of 1960, the parents of senior Aleasha Harris, said that they thought the school needs to get back to the basics. The school seems to put a strong em- phasis on sports. Mr. and Mrs. Harris would also like to see more progress reports sent home and that a method be found to see that the parents receive the reports. 0 Mr. Theodore Johnson, gradu- ate of 1963, simply felt that the kids are more wild these days. The visual changes noticed were the new doors, marquee, entranceway tiles, additional wing and the difference in students. Most of these parents felt that their most prominent memory of their high school years was their graduation. These parents also pointed out that some of the teachers that have taught their children also taught them. Among these teachers are Mr. Bill Sum- ma, Miss Billie Wilson, Mrs. Nelvada Dean, Mr. Ed Russell, and Mr. Greg Stephens. Having a good time at school, senior Bonita Copridge enjoys the changes that have taken place since her parents attended Chrisman. Photos by Chris Landes S .

The day is de- signed to give high school seniors a chance to explore a career that they think they might be interested in pursu- ing. It began three years ago in a con- centrated effort to help undecided stu- dents pick whether a job area was right for them by allowing them to expe- rience it firsthand and talk to persons involved in that profession. Central office and the Chamber of Commerce began the program by send- since we had very few problems. Eve- ryone involved was very cooperative. Some of the more popular professions were morticians, disc jockeys, police- men, doctors, and lawyers, said Mrs. Kelly Hardin, vocational counselor. I went to a chemical company in Kansas City with several other stu- dents. The company was active in agri- cultural research such as quality test- ing and soil and air experiments. They gave us a tour of all the different labs and explained the different processes that they used, Annette Carnahan said. I spent the day with a psycholo- gist at a place called New Directions. The clinic worked only with kids who .In mii- 5. X, ing out dozens of letters to area busi- nessmen asking them to sponsor one or several students for a day. Phone calls were even placed to some busi- nessmen and merchants to help in- crease awareness and stimulate inter- est in the project. The day began with a continental breakfast where the students and their sponsors met for the first time. The tables were set up according to areas of interest and sweet rolls and coffee or milk were served. Afterwards the spon- sors took the students through a rou- tine day of the profession. The project was very successful had emotional problems and could not function in a normal environment. I thought it was a good experience and something that I could possibly end up in someday, Shannon Rogers said. Several other students from Chrisman and I went with an attorney. He talked to us and showed us around his office. Then he took us to the courthouse where we got to watch several court cases and meet a judge. The judge talked about the justice sys- tem and showed us his chambers, Robert Sweazy said. While being shown around the George C. Madison Company, senior Adam Larsen listens intently.

Applications must be filled out, trans- cripts sent in and tests must be taken. The two major tests accepted in most colleges are the American College Test and the Scholastic Aptitude Test. Five different dates were given for the ACT while six were given for the SAT. Each date had a registration dead- line that had to be met. I almost didn't get to take the test because I kept for- getting about the deadlines, said Kathy Hustace, senior. On these various dates, students from the area arrived at Truman High School in the early hours of the morn- ing. I took the ACT so I could be accepted to college and also just to see how I could do on the test compared to other high school students, said senior Susan Walker. David Schmidt Diane Schneider Carla Schonhoeft Anne Schwenk Anita Scott Stacey Scott Bobbi Seelinger Janice Shelton Cynthia Sherrill Lily Sherwood Seniors Design hy Jeff Radel The tests included four main parts: math, English, social sciences and nat- ural sciences. A section on chemistry and physics was also included in the SAT. I thought the SAT was a much harder test than the ACT. lt had a lot more to it, like the chemistry and some analogies. I was really shocked, com- mented Julie Wyatt, senior. Many different ideas emerged on how to study for the test. Some people didnlt study at all, while others studied both the sample test and the booklets. Most students who had honors courses thought that these really helped. I thought the English was easy because I had ACP and knew what to expectf' said senior Mindy Havenhill. The math section was thought to be the hardest part of the ACT, while the chemistry section was thought to be the hardest in the SAT. TW W It V '11 wt N 15. . S. 4 I, 2 Q .9 ff ' , I 1 ' E n sf .. ..

' nf .4 if F' W k , Outside training or . helps students by Kathy Taylor Seniors can earn money and get training in sales or secretarial work in two programs connected with school. Participants go to school the first half of the day and work the rest of the day. Seniors who have taken Distribu- tive Education as a junior may take D.E. II as a senior. D.E. teacher Mrs. Sandy Barker helps students find jobs in retailing, clothing, general merchan- dising and restaurant-marketing man- agement. In addition she keeps in touch with the students' employers so she can help the students with their train- ing during class. I think this is a very good expe- rience for the kids and a valuable course to take. Not only do the kids learn one job but they learn how eve- rybody's job works in the story, Bark- er said. Mr. Marvin Lindmark who is in charge of the program finds secretarial jobs such as office occupations, book- keeping and typing for students who sign up for the program. This program has no required classes but the students getting these jobs must have had some sort of busi- ness related class in a previous year. I think I chose to do the right thing when I wanted to get out half of the day. I work at Chrisman Junior in the office and I find it very worth while, senior Danelle Peterson said. Students must have enough cred- its to graduate to be in either of the programs. The biggest thing I found wrong with having this program is stu- dents will not come to school the first half of the day but will go on to their job. Their school education comes first, said Lindmark. Most of the students won't keep these jobs forever because theyire part- time and seniors will go to college or need a full-time job, but this sure does 77 7 give the students a lot of experience Barker said. 54-4' 'fur---7,- f 'Hr -it Ron Tucker David Turk Randy Turner Dawna Tuttle Teresa Valdepena Jerri Mae Vanderpool Tony Vasquez vw---y .

Reasons for early graduation ranged everywhere from getting a job to entering college early. I wanted to get a job early, before all of the jobs were taken up, said Susan Baldwin. However, she l'iadn't yet found a job in April. Some seniors had to change sche- dules because of President Reagan's cut in the Social Security programs that provided aid to students whose parents were deceased or were Social Security age. I went to college because of the Social Security. The Social Se- curity office said I had to be into college Derek Westlake Phyllis Whetsel Paul Whipple Daniel E.

Senior counselor Mrs. Katie Tur- ner said, Every case is personal, but I think that early graduations are a dis- advantage for the seniors. Most seniors wanted to enter college early. They're thrown into an environment that is totally different from that of high school. Someone will have to be pretty special to enter college right out of high school. I find that I have more time for myself, I get out of school at noon. I miss my friends, though. I also wanted to take some classes that I didn't get to take because I had to graduate early, said Long. The rules of school are so stupid. We're high school students, we don't need so many demanding rules. They treat us like babies, said Baldwin. Now that these seniors have expe- rienced what being out of school is like, would they do it over if they could? Noi said Long. There is so much I would have preferred to do. I almost missed out on getting graduation mate- rial and going to the senior banquet because I was so engrossed with col- legef, There's no doubt in my mind, I'm glad I graduated early, said Baldwin. There are several different rea- sons for each student graduating early, said Turner, but you never get to be a senior again. L 5' Kr' rv 4?-is 6.-1 YT iii 74 kk , , 'N I? if v-'Q' K r , ., ,,,,, . .

The tables were dec- orated in blue and gold by the PTA Banquet Committee made up of Mrs. Pat Holzbaur, chairman, Mrs. Judy Lesh and Mrs. Myra Lewis. The evening program started with a prayer given by Kathy Taylor, class treasurer. Then everyone got down to business with their dinner of salad, brisket, potato boat, homemade rolls and butter, green beans, apple or choc- olate pie and a beverage. Following was entertainment from Concert Chorale. Mr. Bill Summa, who was chosen guest speaker by the class officers, gave an inspirational speech. At first when Aleasha Harris, class president, asked Summa to speak, he turned her down, because he did not want it to become a tradition or have future senior classes feel they had to ask him because he did it the year before. But after Summa thought about it, he reconsidered. Winners of class awards voted on by the seniors named Marty McClunie and Robert Sweazy as best dressed, Sherrie Kelley and Jerry Huffman as class clownsg Kathy Taylor and Mike Lewis for best bodies, Annette Carna- han and David Hensarling as most like- ly to succeed, Sherrie Kelley and Kevin Senior Prom Design by Jeff Radel Muehlebach Prine as most outgoing, Nancy David- son and Mike Thompkins as best ath- letesg Sherrie Kelley and Mike Thomp- kins as personality plus, and Delisa Harris and Kevin Prine as biggest flirt and wolf. To acknowledge the winners, officers gave them a button with what they won on the front. As Mr. Thomas Herrick, principal, was the last to stand at the podium to speak, he gave a closing to the evening and it ended with Jeff Rogers leading seniors in singing the school song. Senior prom was at the Radisson- Muehlbach Hotel in downtown Kansas City from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m. May 22. Tickets were sold in advance in Febru- ary to see if there was enough support to have a prom. In May a senior could buy a ticket for S22 to enjoy dinner and the dance. Everyone began to arrive at 7 p.m. and were seated at tables decorated with centerpieces of blue and gold 82's with Ziggy dolls. At 7:30 p.m. they began serving a dinner of French onion soup, salad, prime rib, baked potato, cauliflower, chocolate mousse and a beverage. Around 8:30 p.m. the dance began with music provided by Sound Dynam- ics. Seniors who wanted could have their picture taken by Mr. Ron Mor- man for S5 and receive two 5x7's and four billfold photos. f Q X V fx .ar 4 4 4 Tl ,ns I .' nil- .. ni 1 I 0 I . 4 13' J' 4 ' of FY!

The last few days creep along, dragging unwilling students with them. An epidemic of senioritis spreads through the school, killing all ambition to study or do homework. It strikes not only the seniors but sophomores and juniors as well. The disease hits hard: the survivors are few. First the final preparations for graduation begin. Caps and gowns arrive and seniors file alphabetically down to the auditorium to receive them. They take the wrinkled, shi- Glimpses Design by Jeff Radel ny-blue uniforms from out of their boxes and try them on for size. Students get restless and begin to sneak out of the building for quick lunches at McDonald's or Hi- Boy's. Vice principal Pat Wilde is kept busy waiting and watching to snatch the law-breakers. Seventh- hours are handed out in abundance. The end approaches. Teachers now only half-heart- edly try to maintain control. The ex- citement and nervousness have tak- en over. Concentration is impos- sible. lt is like being in a war-zone continued on page 271 1 1 :HE ia. i . mtv nf l ' if- + 9 .A 6' ax . - ., . ' t..f..7f' 'Xfm' 9' 1' 'Q 1 J'.f' ,, me M .I 5 . 2 ' . .

They eagerly hand over their textbooks to tired teachers who check the number and then stack them in neat piles. Only a name scrawled on the inside cover re- mains to prove to others that once this person was an important part of the school. Next lockers are relieved of a year's accumulation of trash. Old test papers, pictures of movie stars torn from magazines and taped in- side, candy wrappers and pieces of clothing escape from their prison. The empty, gray cubicles stretch down the littered hallway. Teachers begin stuffing boxes and packing crates full of books and papers. Next year the freshmen will arrive and new rooms have been assigned. The rooms are temporari- ly transformed jungles made of brown cardboard and mazes of books and chairs and desks. The buses seem to sense it is the last day. They patiently wait in long yellow lines to deliver their kids home for the last time. Finally screaming students pour into their stomachs, pushing down the win- dows and sticking their arms out- side. The bus begins to look like a giant caterpiller with a million wav- ing legs. There are tears and hugging and lots of last minute don't-forget- to-call-me good-byes. It is over, the end has arrived. Glimpses 271 606, Colophon The Gleom was printed by Inter- Collegiate Press, Shawnee Mission, Kan- sas. The paper stock is Warren's 80 poundniatte with a Smythe-sewn bind- ing tround in backl.

The Gleam staff thanks Mr. Bob Gadd, InterACollegiate Press represen- tativeg DeCloud Studiosg Mr. Steve Gunlockg Journalism I and Publications I classes, and especially Mrs. Lois Wolfe of Lois Unlimited for their assistance with the 1982 Gleam. Not of the sunlight Not of the moonlight, Not of the starlight, O, young mariner, Down to the haven Call your companions, Launch your vessels And crowd your canvas, And ere it vanishes O'er the margin After it, Follow it, Follow the Gleam.
