09/28/08 01:34 PM #89     Linette Schaller (Miller) (1989) The party in question took place after high school. I am thinking the occasion had something to do with Joe being back in town after basic training or something like that....you were in the military or reserves or something....right, Joe? Jeesh, that memory again. And I never saw the tape so I don't really know what was on it. But I guess it is good it is gone.....if the cops would have gotten ahold of that it would have been real bad for anyone there.... just the documented evidence of massive underage drinking and destruction. And Jeannie, don't act so innocent....I witnessed you putting away large amounts of beer on many occasions. One in particular......at your apartment.....the minute game...OUCH!!! Jeannie and Misty should both remember the "Party Under the Stars" in Dodge...we just get home at the crack of dawn and the damn cops call to tell your dad that he had a herd of cattle out behind the high school. Man I wanted to just die I was so tired.....but chasing the cattle in town in our cars was fun!!!

09/28/08 01:41 PM #90     Linette Schaller (Miller) (1989) In regards to the very exciting movie that we went to after the Cosmosphere on our Senior Trip, can anyone remember what movie we even saw? I found a picture last night that I took outside the theater and you can see the movies that are playing.....Fletch Live, Major League, Skin Deep, and Troop Beverly Hills. Even with the list of movies I still don't recall which one we saw. Man I did burn up some brain cells.

09/28/08 02:55 PM #91     Jeannie Hirsh (Espinosa) (1989) LOL Linette not acting innocent I honestly don't remember girl lol and hell yeah I will admit I put away my share of drinking back then haha..and I believe the movie we watched was Major League damn senior trip SUCKED!! lol we got the shitty end of the deal on everthing...but these memories every time I read this I think of something else..coming back from Worlds Of Fun for choir and was it Chris mooning the car that was following behind the bus and we got in trouble?? or Joe?? lol and yes I remember that nite getting home about 4 and the freakin cows being out in town uuugh wasn't it my b-day or something why we went over?? and us 3 draggin ass when dad made us go with him to get them bastards back in lol and on another occasion of a Dodge trip with Misty and Janell and us going 3 going out dancing ..hell i'll just wait cause Janell loves to remind me of that night and tells the story so well Ha Ha!!

09/28/08 04:06 PM #92     Laura Kersting (Cure) (1987) Hey guys ~ I was just thinking has anyone thought of possibly inviting any of the teachers. Devo, Stuart, whoever else. I think it could be a ton of fun with them.

09/28/08 04:59 PM #93     Linette Schaller (Miller) (1989) OK I remember a couple of parties at Strate's sandpit. Is that the one you all are talking about? But I mostly remember sneaking in there. Anyway, Rusty Strate lives at the sandpit now, and from what I hear he likes to party a little these days, maybe he would welcome some company. And in regards to Doc Boehme. My sister actually got a paper back from him once and two of the pages were stuck together with a bugger.....yuck!

09/28/08 05:40 PM #94     Laura Kersting (Cure) (1987) Hey Linette can you ask Rusty about maybe doing a party out there. Just for old times sake. I really think a keg party would be a ton of fun. But I guess if need be we can just go to the good old Youngs Club, but I'm thinking that maybe we may want to carry on somewhere else after that. How about going back to the park? Does it close at a certain time? Guys don't get out that often. But definatly still like my beer!! Damn too bad there is nowhere to have a bonfire.

09/28/08 07:28 PM #95     Lance Ramsay (1988) Since it’s story time, I thought I’d share what likely still stands as the single funniest thing I’ve ever seen. It has a little bit of the “ya’ had to be there” quality, but fortunately I think it took place my Jr. year and would include all those that played football from these three classes. So it was probably a Thursday afternoon before a game, because that was usually the day we’d go to the practice field across from the lunchroom. On that day we were witness to one of the great, completely unintentional funny moments in the history of the Universe. The cast consisted of 1 member each from two of our more “esteemed” brother combos in town. Paul Newman was there from Newman’s Tree Service. His brother Ray Dean apparently (wisely) sat this one out. There to assist was George from the well known “George and Ronnie” brother duo. The job was to cut down a big damn tree in the back yard of a couple of old ladies. The tree was big enough that it falling anywhere but the perfect path meant it could potentially hit the old ladies’ house, a neighbor’s house or even crush a fighting Coyote football player or two if it came our way. We were wise to keep an eye on them, but had no idea what we’d be seeing. So Paul cuts the wedges out of the tree under the watchful eyes of the old ladies….and nothing happens. So he cuts a little more….and nothing happens. The ladies appear to be getting a bit frustrated with things, so Paul has George run around acting like they know what they’re doing. Paul cuts a little more……nothing. After further consideration he tells George to get the rope out from the back of the Newman’s Tree Service truck (Shelah Shanks once asked if they wrote Newman’s Tree Service on the door with a crayon). So Paul ties the rope around the tree nice and low on the trunk where it really has minimal leverage. The ladies were really frowning by this point and a remarkable thing happened. The usually intense Coach Flax stopped practice (or slowed to a snails pace) so we could watch as this played out. Paul took the free end of the rope to their fine truck and tied it to the bumper. George eased the truck forward pulling the slack from the rope and waiting for the signal to gun it. But before we get to that. At this moment there were 30+ football players and two old ladies standing there realizing that the rope was about half as long as it needed to be. If George successfully pulled that tree down, he’d be pulling it right onto himself in the pick-up. Naturally, none of us said a word. After Paul’s final adjustments (for show) to the rope and the ladies taking cover, Paul goes over near the cab of the pick-up so he can better communicate with George while they pull the tree down. Yes, this basically made his being crushed by the falling tree an almost certainty as well. Again…we said nothing. The moment of truth comes and Paul gives some hand wave signal to George and he guns the engine, pulls the rope tight, spins the wheels and…….well….nothing. The tree is still standing. The old ladies come out from their hiding place steaming mad, Paul’s swearing, mostly indiscernible cuss words (never understood most of what he said anyway), the KHS football team is laughing our asses off and George puts the truck in park with the rope holding taught between the bumper and tree. Paul’s scratching his head trying to analyze what the hell is going on as he approaches the old ladies to decipher…or beg for mercy or something. As he gets to them he begins to explain what’s going on and reaches his hand over to the rope for something to lean on. CRACK! GROAN! BANG! You see the second Paul leaned on that rope, something in the tree gave way under his weight and the tree began a strange TWISTING motion on it’s way off the stump. Those wedges he’d cut in the tree had no affect on the direction it fell. In fact it really didn’t fall in any direction. It just sort of corkscrewed off the stump, slammed down on the old ladies metal tool shed, completely destroying the shed and most of what was inside and plopped down across the alley. We laughed till we were crying, rolled on the ground and gasped for air. Even Gene Flax was doubled over for a couple minutes. The old ladies on the other hand were really, really pissed and gave poor Paul Newman the lecture of his life. George, well he just leaned against the pick-up having a well deserved smoke thanking God the crayon looking lettering on the door didn’t say “George and Ronnie’s Tree Service.”

09/28/08 08:28 PM #96     Linette Schaller (Miller) (1989) Well, Laura, I just asked my neighbor who works for Rusty if he thought he would go for a party at the pit. He said probably not because some bullshit about insurance or something. Rusty won't let anyone fish or anything out there anymore cause his insurance won't cover anyone that is not his employee. But we could show up out there and see what happens.....or maybe that wouldn't be such a good idea either. I hear the Rusty was trying to shoot a beaver the other night with a rifle with a scope on it and propped it on one side of his hood and ended up shooting a hole through the hood of his pickup. So he may come out of the camper shooting if he hears any activity.

09/28/08 08:30 PM #97     Laura Kersting (Cure) (1987) LMAO!! Lance that is just too funny!! Isn't is something how this brings up old memories? I absoluetly love it! keep thinking of the stories buddy!

09/28/08 08:40 PM #98     Laura Kersting (Cure) (1987) WHERE THE HELL IS EVERYONE!! NEED A GOOD LAUGH!!!!

09/29/08 01:48 AM #99     Misty Myers (Tenbrink) (1989) Damn that was a good one Lance!! We know what kind of damage tall wooden objects can do! Sometimes they don't end up that funny! Jeannie yes it was for your birthday and I was the same Linnette drag assed tired! Damn cattle! And what is it Janell says to you? "You wanna dance?" lmao I will admit you get the ribbon for having the biggest dork ask you to dance!!!!! If you all can picture John Travolta dancing in wranglers and a plaid shirt and sooooo skinny that his blond afro makes him top heavy and not leaving Jeannie alone until she dances. Hey I think he might be who the Napoleon Dynomite character came from!!!! I'm suprised her was so persistant giving the way Janell and I were laughing at him! Oh and Mr Young and innocent, I will agree you were at home sometimes but studying academics was not one of them! If you say you were it's a bare assed lie!lol How about them CHIEFS today!!!!!!

09/29/08 02:01 AM #100     Chris Youngers (1989) Ok Misty I admit I may have had a beer or 2 or 10 or a 100 hell who kept track, but I was the innocent one and you and everybody knows it. I was just guilty by association...lol It was Mr. Bratton that made me do all that stuff!

09/29/08 04:53 AM #101     Anna Liberty (Blazek) (1987) I've finally caught up on ALL this reading (hey it's nearly 5 am and I have to be awake, so why not?) Laura...no offense taken, although I'm pretty sure I wasn't one of the ones who went to school on senior skip day; but apparently I've burned up some brain cells since then too, because I can't remember for sure. I do remember our toga party breakfast at that restaurant (R&B cafe back then, I think) and the party in Steven's pasture...so I can't see how I could have gone to school that day! Speaking of inviting the teachers, I'm sure at least the girls remember Mr. Kuhn's Speech class...he's now the principal at Burlington High School where my daughter just graduated...isn't it a small world?? It will be a blast to see everyone, hopefully completely clothed! And FYI, the cheerleaders weren't the only ones with more than Squeaky's drinks in their cups...nerds gotta have fun somehow... :D PS: Brad...Marion is not too far from Emporia. Do I need to be worried I will run into you in your Speedo in Wal-Mart???

09/29/08 10:22 AM #102     Brad Scott (1987) Which girls got into the fight at the senior skip day party in 87? All I remember is it was a great fight and it wasn't getting broken up until they almost knocked over the keg. That was when it got too serious. Can't lose beer over a cat fight. How about when Karl Hetzel and the two foreign exchange students lip synched "let's go crazy" at the talent show? Or when Valerie and I butchered "almost paradise" at the homecoming parade downtown? Or when Troy Leith explained what a "pearl necklace" was on the basketball bus back from Lacrosse? I also have a vague memory of Jon Herman trying to jump the river with his orange nova. That might be an alcohol induced hallucination. My favorite memory of high school is also the one that will send me straight to hell. Darin Wire and I used to go over to his house by 56. His grandma lived with them and she wasn't all there. We would stand by the fuse box and every time she would enter a room, we would shut off the power to that room and plunge it into darkness. And we would turn back on the power to the room she just left. So no matter where she went in the house, it was always dark, but the light would work in the rooms adjacent to her. It was cruel as hell, but still hilarious. I also remember Darin was the only kid who could have playboy centerfolds as posters in his room. Does anyone remember putting all the snow in the exhaust pipe of the St. John bus during a basketball game? How about when Jay ran into the wire holding the volleyball poles up and cut up his face so bad he scared the other team at the football game that week? Anyone remember catching Rowdy and Shelby making out all over town in that little grey car he used to drive? I think it was every night after play practice. My students still don't believe me when i tell them we had a smoking area for the students at KHS. Anyone have Dewey as their bus driver? Was he really drunk all the time or is that my excuse for his driving? Do kids still cruise town? Is Mr. Squeaky's still there? How about when we drove that first year algebra teacher to the looney bin over christmas break. I think when Scott threw his math book out the window and it almost hit Jasper in the head while he was mowing, that was the last straw for her. Does Stuart's head still bleed during class? Did he really have an affair with the librarian or was that a rumor? Who did we lock in the locker room during play practice and we forgot about him for like 2 hours? Justin Huslig runs the DeSoto Rec program in the town where I work. Aaron Quisenberry lives across the street from my school and he refs some of our basketball games. Danny Streit teaches at Bonner Springs high school, and his boys play against mine in sports. See you all on the 11th.

09/29/08 10:53 AM #103     Linette Schaller (Miller) (1989) Kinsley has changed a lot since we were kids. I remember when we first moved back here I would go somewhere on a Friday or Saturday night and expect all these kids to be cruising and there would be nothing...it was pretty weird. But lately the Wyrick has made a bit of a comeback, it has cars in it on most weekends and even beer cans on Sunday mornings!! Although half of it is now a basketball court. Mr. Squeaky's, it is long gone and now there is a car wash in its place. As for the Librarian, I dont' know if she was having an affair with anyone but she is now married to Scott Butler. Stuart still teaches but I don't remember his head bleeding. And Dewey, I think he was finally asked to quit. My sister told me he had a couple of pretty bad accidents, hit some tree limbs and took out most of the windows on one side of the bus, stuff like that.

09/29/08 10:53 AM #104     Lance Ramsay (1988) Laura...here are a few more funny moments of note from my tattered and tortured mind just for you: Class Night program 1985- Amy Livengood is delivering her completely over-the-top acting monologue about the depressing affects of aging or some such thing, when a completely quiet Kinsley High School Auditorium is treated to the single loudest FART I’ve ever heard. It echoed off the wooden seats like a fricken’ car bomb going off. Since it was one of the funniest things ever there was a smattering of laughter, but the fine folks of Kinsley pretty much kept it all in check. I was running the spotlight that night and Amy had requested I use a colored gel to set the mood for her scene. The spotlight was broken so I had to hold the little gel arm down manually. After the fart the spot shook all over the place as I was shaking violently trying to keep my laughter to a minimum…which was really tough! Legend has it Michael Mathis was the guilty party on the fart, but I think he was speaking for many of us on that night watching the melodrama on stage. One that few probably know about was when I hid Devo’s wired remote control for the VCR in my locker in hopes we wouldn’t have to watch the daily Wall Street Report. Well, I forgot about it for months and the next thing I know my parents are confronting me at the door about the police wanting to question me about the most recent school break-in. Seems they found the remote in one of their random locker searches, figured I was as shady as the next guy and likely had few other leads from our town of master criminals. So I dragged my butt down to the court house and discussed everything with Bob Scott. I got to see their evidence photos…the culprits got in through the lunchroom and they got to use “bad cop” on poor young Lance (I didn’t see the “good cop” part of the act during my trip). I finally got share my thoughts on having to watch the Wall Street Report every damn day. I think my hatred of that show quickly convinced them I had a legit reason to steal the remote and they let me go. Larry Korf vs. Mitch Barnett- You may have heard the stories of amazing feats of strength when a mother will lift some 2 ton object to free her kid or something of that sort. Well one day in our Business Math class, we were treated to just such an exhibition and it was way impressive. Now it would have been even more mind boggling if this was Mitch pre-weight loss, but he had trimmed down at this point. Now the one consistent with Mitch, which survived throughout his many different physical shapes, was his being a complete smart ass. Well one day Larry Korf requests Mitch do something and Mitch says no. Larry asks again and Mitch gets a bit more forceful with his negative response. Without another word Larry moves out from behind his podium, walks over to Mitch’s desk and proceeds to lift both about to chest height and flip them to their side as they go crashing to the floor. Mitch was sent sprawling and he started a cussing tirade of epic proportions as he freed his legs from the desk. Such pleasant things as “You’re going to get sued for doing that motherf%cker” and “F#%k You Larry.” I think that was Mitch’s last day in Business Math class….and a good time was had by all. Class Night 1988- The great lesson learned this night was if you don’t know the song, you probably shouldn’t try to sing it as part of a public performance. Remember the tune that Carol Burnett would end her show with? The “I’m so glad we had this time together” song. Well, that was our touching farewell to KHS and our family and friends at the end of our Class Night presentation. Sounds like the perfect choice huh? Trouble was, past the “I’m so glad we had this time together” portion of the song…NONE of us knew the fricken’ words! You know how you sort of mumble and hum the words you don’t know to the catchy new song on the radio? Well imagine the class of ‘88’s touching farewell with 30+ people each just babbling some sort of crap for a couple minutes. I’d never been so uncomfortable in my life…until our mothers followed up the song by coming on stage to do the stupid Chicken Dance. What the hell was that all about?

09/29/08 10:57 AM #105     Laura Kersting (Cure) (1987) Brad damn I don't even remember the senior skip day fight. But you have to remember also I was the drunk ass that went to squeaky's and then went with some cowboys to a rodeo somewhere, then show up back out to the party. Yes, you are right, you are going straigt to hell for torturing Darrin's grandmother like that, however I got quite the chuckle. That would have been quite the sight. What was the first teacher's name that we sent to the looney bin. But then remember we got Miss Haskett! OMG!! The clothes, the shoes, the glasses, straight from the 70's. That's what we get when we sent the other one over the deep end. As far as Mr. Squeaky's where I spent so much of my high school time, was torn down several years ago and a Car Wash was built. Wow, I haven't talked to Aaron Quisenberry in a long time. How the heck is he? What about Kyle Whipple hitting the Kinsley bank. TWICE!!!

09/29/08 01:57 PM #106     Lance Ramsay (1988) Woohooo! Brad broke the seal on the Darren stories! I’ve already read the story about turning the lights off on his grandma to about 10 people at work, so that’s a job well done Brad. Yes, you are going to hell for it! That’s even better than my story of watching my first porn movie with Darren and Brad and….Darren’s grandmother. Though I must admit it got a little creepy when Brad and Darren went into the other room to play video games, leaving me and his grandmother alone watching the movie. Ironically, last summer I was visiting Kinsley and hanging out with Darren. He was playing a video game and I was surfing porn on the internet and I made the comment that it’s AMAZING how much we’ve matured in the nearly 25 years since that day. :-) That reminds me, I need to put some of my photos on my profile from my first porn convention last year. Since I have no children, the least I can do is share pics of myself with scantily clad women between the ages of 18 and 30.

09/29/08 02:18 PM #107     Laura Kersting (Cure) (1987) Lance would that be with speedos or not? LOL!! Might want to check in with Brad, so you guys don't wear the same one. You know if you were a girl that is soooo foul!!

09/29/08 02:24 PM #108     Katy Gilchrist (Goodnight) (1989) OK all we will be ordering shirts. Please let me know what size you need ASAP. Depending on the color the most the shirts will cost is $8.75 per shirt. I need to get sizes quickly so she can get them done. If you have any questions send me a message. Thanks a bunch. Kate

09/29/08 03:11 PM #109     Laura Kersting (Cure) (1987) K Guys I am seriously thinking that my kids (Carson & Caden) are the only ones in the world that can think they are fishing from the top of the stairs with PSP controllers!! LMAO!!! Damn they go fishing with everything, but that is seriously the funniest. Maybe I am glad I had to take the day off.

09/29/08 04:11 PM #110     Laura Kersting (Cure) (1987) Brad ~ I know exactly what you are talking about with stuart's head. LOL!!! and how about the Librarian and Stuart. I've often wondered that also!!! There was a carload of us on our last day of school that went out drinking before school, however that was every year, but I do believe it was my freshman year and Mark Poer and I think Darryl Schaller, we had a shitload of people in the car and we got a free case of beer from the COORS MAN!! Didn't happen again however. DAMN IT!!! Then damn if Mr Randall didn't come in while algebra class was going on and sat down right beside me. He had to know I was drinking, cause I know I had to be reaking (sp?) alcohol and didn't say a word. I was like crap I'm getting kicked out of school on the last day. Now that was one cool principal. I walked out of algebra class and into the bathroom. Didn't get sick, but really wanted to! LuAnn and I were always in the principal's office with algebra. Miss Haskett didn't like us so much, it was fine as long as Randall was there, but one day we got Korf!! Not so good!! How about the time when Korf came in and kicked or threw the waste basket. I'm pretty sure he kicked it and then the lectures from him as I could do better. Brad Putter how about the time Cheryl and I had a party at the house after it had rained and you dumb ass thought the damn road was in the front yard!!! Left HUGE ASS RUTS!! Troy Leith also told me when I made dinner the next day that I was the only one who could make a grilled cheese and burn it on the outside, but it not be done on the inside!! LOL!!!

09/29/08 06:33 PM #111     Wendy Quisenberry (Leith) (1988) I must have missed all these parties and crazy events you guys are talking about because I was either at work making pizza's, at church, or volunteering in the community. Thank goodness I married such a sweet and honest man who also was not involved in all these heatheness behaviors....

09/29/08 06:49 PM #112     Laura Kersting (Cure) (1987) WENDY!!! PLEASE!!!

09/29/08 09:10 PM #113     Chad Hutchison (1988) Am I reading right, are we lookin for a place for a KEG party?(LOL) How many times did we look for a place to have one? I know the night we graduated I drove to Larned with a few other people in an old blazer(COOVERS) to buy kegs. I got three of them with my brothers ID and then we drove back to Kinsley and went out in the sandhills on a back road and put the kegs in the middle of the road and partied. Not all the kegs got drank that night, I think Darrin H. could tell you about getting them out of my mom's deep freeze. I know mom was not to happy when we brought them in that night. But if you are lookin for a place to do a keg party the sandhills is the place, just no fires.
