Andy Trigg awaits the Coach's word before he goes in.
The Squads of this years sporting teams took advantage of the
many opportunities to improve this summer. Many hope that their
hard work and dedication throughout the summer will prove worthy
on the field or on the court. The Cheerleading squad attended
a Universal Cheerleading Association camp hosted by 1SU. Ashley
Dana, Katie Talbot, and Autumn Stevenson were elected All-Stars
for the camp. The Pom Pon squad attended a Universal Dance Association
camp hosted by ISU. The Poms performed a great routine
and earned first place. Boys and girls basketball teams also attended
camps. The girls went to the U of I and the boys went to Bradley
University. The football team spent many hours in the weightroom
this summer pumping iron and also participated in 7-on-7's over
the summer. The team placed second at the U of I camp and won the
Farmington Passing Tourney.

The J. Kyle Braid
Leadership Foundation
When a leader makes a
mistake, he says I'm
wrong.
When others make a
mistake, they say it wasn't
my fault.
A leader makes a
commitment.
Others make promises.
A leader listens.
Others just wait until it is
their turn to talk.
"Teens Taking The Lead"
In loving memory of Kyle Braid.
The JKB Leadership Foundation
was founded by Ken
and Colleen Braid after the
tragic death of their son,
Kyle. They decided instead
of emphasizing the wrong
things teens do, to emphasize
the good things teens do.
They built a ranch near Villa
Grove, Colorado, where
selected 16 year olds could
spend a week horseback riding,
white-water rafting,
learning leadership skills,
and challenging their minds
and bodies in the ropes
course. These teens come
from all over the United
States. The camp runs all
summer long under the
supervision ofthe Braids and
many other helpers.

The Boilermaker Swarm
Hold The Rope!
The Defense was the heart and soul of the Boilermakers this year. They limited teams to a total of 80 points, the fewest points allowed since 1947. An average of 6.7
pts a game was scored against them, making it the lowest points scored since 1946. The Boilers shut out 5 teams this year.
Matt Salisbury can throw and run with the
best of them.
Marc Bubnick ran away from the defenders all
year. He also ran away with the single season
rushing mark (1339 yards) and the career rushing
record (2169 yards) for KHS football history.
Coach Christakos talks to his offense
during a timeout.
The Boilers raise their helmets once again for the victory.
The Boilers conquered the run through like they conquered their opponents during the extended

STUDENT LIFE

IN THE CLASSROOM
This year in Chemistry students have kept very busy by hypothesizing,
experimenting, and concluding. It's obvious that the students
enjoy these "hands-on" activities.
As the world gets more high-tech, students
attempt to stay up-to-date
through the use of computers. Students
can get on-line, type up homework, and
even play games on the school computers.
Through "Culture Days," foreign language students get to experience the foods and celebrations
of the culture they are studying.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE STUDENTS 1999-2000
This years foreign exchange students

Nadejda Zaitchenko from Rostovon-Don,
Russia,
Yuka Sakurai from Knazawa,
Ishikawa, Japan,
Julia Jagusch from Essen, Germany,
Heike Eujen from Georgensgmuend,
Germany.
Heike has lived with two families,
the Whitmers and the
Ponts. She liked living here
"with all those friendly and
open people", and hopes to
be able to come back someday.
She may even return to
study at the University level.
Her organization is AFS. The
American food she likes are
pancakes, break sticks, muffins,
and cinnamon bread, but she
misses the German bread, her
grandma's homemade applesauce,
and cheese. At home in
Germany Heike has two sisters
and both parents work as
pharmacists. For fun she
hangs out with friends, plays
tennis, goes sailing, reads,
and goes out at night.
44
Julia has stayed with the Leone Family.
She enjoyed the school spirit here a lot
and even made the Pom Pon squad. She
liked living in Kewanee. Her organization
is CETUSA. In Germany Julia is an
only child, here she has two brothers
and two sisters. Her favorite American
food is Cookies and Cream ice cream,
cheese sticks, and her Mom's chocolate
chip cookies. The only German food she
misses are the bread and warm
"Broetchen" for breakfast. In her free
time in Germany she meets or goes out
with her friends, goes horseback riding,
or swims. She says that she will miss her
American family and friends when she
returns home.
Yuka's host family was the Rohrigs. She liked
going to school here and hopes to return for a
a visit someday. The organization Yuka is here
with is CETUSA. She misses Japanese food, but
likes American Pizza and Tacos. At home she
calls her friends, watches TV, or listens to
music. During her stay she learned the English
language better and the ability to adapt herself
to new situations. When she returns home she
will finish her school.
Nadejda lived with the Wirth Family. She
thinks of Kewanee as a small town with
friendly people and enjoyed living in it. She
has enjoyed her many new experiences.
She likes the American food but she misses
the Russian ice cream, and her mother's
and grandmother's cooking. Her organization
is also CETUSA. At home Nadejda lives
with her parents, here she also has a sister
and two brothers. In Russia she meets with
friends, goes to dance clubs, theaters, the
movies, or swims. Here she has become
more independent. When she returns she
will miss her friends. Her future plans
include college.

Mr. Grabbe
The year of 1999
and 2000 was a
whole new
experience for Mr.
Grabbe. This, being
his first year as
student council
advisor, brought
many new
challenges. For
many years Mr.
Grabbe has been
involved with
student council
assisting Mr. Tocha
with the
responsibilities of
the entire student
body, but this was
his first year of
handling these
responsibilities on
his own. Mr. Grabbe
is doing a great job.
Keep up the good
work, Mr. Grabbe.

Student Council members Mike Miler and Jackie Spets show Neponset
eighth graders around Kewanee High School. During the last two
years Neponset 8th graders have been able to select the area high
school they wish to attend. We want them to make the 'right' choice.
This 'tour' is helpful to all the incoming Neponset Freshmen.

This year KHS decided it was time to go out having a good time at a social hour!
with the old and in with the new. Student council
helped purchase a new sound system for the H.F. Brockman Gymnasium. This sound system
is an important part of many activities that take place in the gym. The council celebrated the
new sounds with sock hops in the gym following home basketball games. No Shoes Allowed!!
Thanks for the contribution, Student Council!

SEE WASHINGTON
Close Up
An Unforgettable
Government Studies
Adventure for
High School Students
CLOSE UP
F O U N D A T I O N
Close up Washington is much more than a
field trip - it's an exciting week long study
visit to the nation's capital, where each student
will have the opportunity to experience
his government and the political process firsthand.
While most visitors to the city just see
Washington's monuments and museums,
Close Up Washington participants get an
"inside" look at the nation's capital — with
the people and the places that make this city
unique.
KATIE SNIDER
"I'm very glad that I went on the
Close Up trip and would recommend
it to others because it was
so worthwhile. I was impressed
by all the beautiful monuments
we visited. I didn't expect to be
so busy. We were always going
somewhere or doing something.
I had almost no free time.
I really learned a lot, but most of
all I learned the politics aren't
always what they seem."
LEXIE GLASKI
"Going to Washington DC
was neat. The JFK memorial
impressed me the most
because of the little waterfalls
that make it up. I learned
a lot, but the most surprising
thing I learned was that our
country is ready for war at
any time. I raised the money
for this trip in one year.
While in Washington I met a
lot of nice people. I'm really
glad I went."
This group can be seen
selling candy year around
in order to earn the money
needed to participate in
the Close Up trip during
either their Junior or
Senior year. This year
Katie Snider and Lexie
Glaski traveled to Washington
DC. with a Close
Up group from the area.

In Memoriam
In Loving Memory
Of
Richard A. Ruzas, Jr.
February 19, 1981
February 19, 2000
When through one person
a little more love and
goodness,
a little more light and truth
come into the worldthen
that person's life
has had meaning.
God's Flower Garden
Sorrow touched the Kewanee High School family
with the untimely and accidental death of Rich
Ruzas. Rich was the son of our Custodian, Diane
and her husband Rich Ruzas, the brother of
Sophomore, Tony Ruzas, and the first cousin of
students Becky Osborne, Daniel Osborne, and
Jon Oberg. He graduated from KHS in May 1999.
He was our teammate, student, classmate, and
friend. He enjoyed golf, fishing, hanging out with
his friends, and having fun. His death should be a
reminder to all of us that life is a precious and yet
very fragile gift.
Sometimes we can't quite understand
Our Creator's way.
When He takes a life so young
And leaves one withered, old and gray.
Whose life work seems finished,
Perhaps waiting for the call.
While that life so young and tender
Held so much here for us all.
Then sometimes I get to thinking,
Perhaps his world down here below,
Is just a flower garden,
Where God's flowers live and grow.
And perhaps when God is lonely,
Like us, He loves to roam
In His garden, gathering flowers
Just to beautify His home.
Tho' He takes the full-bloom flowers.
Dropped and withered that need His care.
Still He needs a bud or blossom,
to scatter with them, here and there.
Just the rarest he can find,
And because God needs them up in Heaven,
Must comfort loved ones lift behind.

"A PARKSIDE ROMANCE"

Another year goes passing by
Another Prom is here
To some this brings a joyous smile
To others, brings a tear
For four years you have tread a path
From dawn to setting sun
But now the path gets steeper
And the climb has just begun,
We 're very glad to know you
We 11 miss you when you 're gone
And to the Senior Class
We dedicate our Prom
