And to commemorate such a year at the station I decided we needed a proper send off in the form of the ever nostalgic yearbook superlative section. And so I sent out this form to our 2023-2024 exec staff, and our lovely 2024-2025 exec staff to get to the root of our identities, exposed here for you all to laugh at. <\/span><\/p>\n In the event of a tie all will be listed. But if someone won in an absolute landslide they will stand alone on their pedestal. And as a fun bonus to really get into the yearbook mood, almost everyone sent in a photo from high school to really top it all off. <\/span><\/p>\n Enjoy!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n This goes to Ali and Betsey! Our beautiful music director duo have been fighting all year to tame the monster that is the music director email and lead the crusade that is Music Staff, and by Jobe they\u2019ve put up one hell of a fight. Ali and Betsey are an absolute dream team and so it feels correct that their iconic-ness be recognized here.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n We have a dump button for a reason, and the most likely to wear it out is Brandon Luck! Sometimes you get too into a topic and forget yourself, and that\u2019s completely understandable. Any FCC fines <\/span>will <\/span><\/i>be coming out of your paycheck, though.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n I thought this one would be more divisive seeing as KJHK is the closest thing to an authentic pantomime you can get in the States, but this individual won by a landslide. Who’s going professional? Why, it’s Jack Bugee! Our fearless leader is graduating this May so he better polish up those skills QUICK so that he may entertain the masses come August.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n In the first tie of the evening (but nowhere near the last), allow me to introduce the speed racers of the station. Dashing all about Lawrence to get to meetings on time and no doubt blasting KJHK all the way down Iowa. Beep beep get out of the way, It\u2019s Gracie Hughes and Clara Ketchell in your blindspot! Gracie doesn\u2019t even have a car, which makes this slightly more scathing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n As a radio station we embrace all forms of musical artistry and taste, but when it comes to on air DJing we try to keep a certain\u2026 decorum. In another tie, we narrowed down who was most likely to give into their demons and play top 40 over our sacred airwaves. Caroline Blanke and Beth Davis, if you could please toss a few dollars into the Top 40 jar, your sins will be forgiven.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This one isn\u2019t named properly. It should not be who is \u201cmost likely\u201d to cause drama, it should be \u201cwho is actively, as we speak, starting problems.\u201d This is not a hypothetical. This is a guarantee. It\u2019s happening. This is a cry for help for everyone caught in the crossfire, it\u2019s Emma Curran with Tyler Burkett one vote behind. They should be tied, for one does not fight without the other. It\u2019s all in good fun, at least that\u2019s what we’re hoping.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Exec meetings are not grueling boring endeavors, they\u2019re sweet and quick and any delay is usually a fun conversation. Maybe other Bubbles have rougher meetings, but this individual is a part of Content Bub, as am I, and I know this is not the case. So who has the gall to check out the battle pass in the middle of the meeting? Why, Tyler Burkett! A reputation as a rapscallion apparently.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n A four-way tie on the abuse of power of a social media platform is always a wonderful sign and these four have already been called out before on this list. Jack Bugee, Clara Ketchell, Caroline Blanke, and Gracie Hughes. Always double check which account you\u2019re posting to, your secret Superwholock fan-page content should <\/span>never <\/span><\/i>accidentally appear on the KJHK story. (Is Superwholock too old of a reference? What\u2019s the equivalent now? I\u2019m not hip anymore)<\/span><\/p>\n Every year the new and old staff engage in some family friendly fun over by Clinton lake for some team building. But what if we weren\u2019t playing for morale? What if we were playing for cold hard cash? For the thrill of the win? For the glory? Well watch out, Federico Moreno, Bobbi Washechek, Jack B<\/span>ugee, Jackson Goodrich, and Emma Curran are here to absolutely wreck shop. We don\u2019t make trophies for this, but we might have too now.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n I put this on the form and was asked what this meant. Was it the most fashionable? The most eccentric? The biggest fan of KJHK? Or was this a round-about way of calling out the maybe possibly potentially gayest member on staff? All valid questions, and I answered none of them. This vagueness left us with a five-way tie. \u201cOh, Kacie, that\u2019s not a good way to have run this\u201d and? I let the human mind fill in the blanks, sue me for trying to be a little subversive. Anyway, our top five slays are: Caroline Blanke, Bobbi Washechek, Alexis Vielma, Beth Davis, and Betsey Lewis! Take this to mean: Whatever your mind jumps to when you hear \u2018Slay.\u2019\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Ominous can mean a handful of things, either the classic spooky ooky or an individual that just sort of has a Presence. A sense of power, perhaps. Perchance. Commands a space. And no one commands a space (Studio 366?) quite like Jackson Goodrich! The aire of fame from the oh-so beloved local band The Jackoffs mixed with the mastery of the famed Live @ has earned him such a title.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n As a Drag Race watcher can I just say this season was scuffed? I do like the top two (have beef with Plane Jane) but Mirage getting sent home so early? Absolutely devastating. But imagine a KJHK season, who would sashay away? Who would shantay (you) stay? We do know who would be getting a big ol\u2019 Condragulations and that is Bobbi Washechek and Ali Madden!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cRun! Faster! What the hell are you doing look up don\u2019t pick at the grass! Be aggressive go go you got it- NO! Hey Ump, the hell was that? They obviously got it- no I swear to god I- Don\u2019t you get up in my face buddy I\u2019ll knock your head clean off\u201d all followed by a silent ride home. Ahh\u2026 a token of any middle-school little league game. Half the fun of the Great American Sport we let these snot-nosed kids tarnish the name of is seeing it nearly turn into a WWE match. And what staffer is in the middle of the brawl? Well, this time it\u2019s Abbey Todd. May all your umpires align with you, my friend.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n If the previous awards this individual has won has told us anything, it\u2019s that he’s about to win this one too. My mother used to make fun of the parents at Zoos with the kids on the little leashes with the monkey back-pack, but maybe she\u2019d have less stress-lines if she sacrificed her parental dignity for a sound mind. Which parents made the right decision off the bat? Well, apparently Tyler Burkett’s, followed closely by Brandon Luck. Maybe it\u2019d still be worth investing in a leash backpack for the station.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n This is a radio station by god! There should be more music themed awards, but I didn\u2019t want to seem obsessed with our own branding. It\u2019s all about thinking beyond your literal definition, thus all the more abstract awards. But for a moment let\u2019s go back to our roots. Most eclectic music taste goes to Alexis Vielma and Jackson Goodrich.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n This is similar to the KJHK ride or die award, but shows a particular dedication to the craft. For a while I\u2019ve been casually tossing it into conversation that we should all get matching tattoos, and one day I\u2019ll peer pressure everyone into it. Until then, Bobbi Washechek has won in a landslide on most likely to get a KJHK tramp stamp\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sometimes a Starbucks is a messy location. A jungle of afraid teenagers being yelled at everyday and stuck behind a wall of frappuccinos. Sometimes you\u2019re lucky if you get a drink at all. Sometimes, it\u2019s a well oiled machine working with such precision and efficiency you can\u2019t help but wonder what type of absolute master of teamwork and communication is behind this force. An air of respect among its crew and lack of fear from the teenagers who know that they are protected from any Coffee Aficionado who has convinced themselves that Starbucks is the pinnacle of coffee, and will not settle for anything less than perfect. The captain running this ship and protecting its crew? Beth Davis. No further comment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Last but not least, the Biggest KJHK Ride or Die. Who’s out here knowing, loving, breathing, living, and bleeding KJHK? Well, everyone who keeps it locked is in some way, but some of us are just better than others in this regard. And the best of the best in keeping it locked, Ms Locke, if you will. Keeping It Locked. Locked as hell. All the time, so locked she doesn\u2019t even need to Keep It, is Clara Ketchell! Clara is our upcoming Station Manager and so it makes sense that she is naturally so dedicated to the craft. This award was <\/span>NOT <\/span><\/i>awarded as a way to keep our jobs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Our staff had the opportunity to award anyone any additional award they could think of – these are those submissions.<\/span><\/p>\n Most Likely to Become Famous After School<\/strong> – Ali Madden & Jackson Goodrich<\/span><\/p>\n Additional Dynamic Duo Combinations<\/strong> – Jack Bugee and Abbey Todd, Kacie Fuller and Emma Curran<\/span><\/p>\n City Girl, City Gurl Award, and\u00a0 Most City Girl<\/strong> – Alexis Vielma\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Biggest Sleeper Genius \/ Most Likely to Fall asleep in Prod 2 \/ Most Likely to make an award winning project<\/strong> – Kacie Fuller (They\u2019re all suck-ups)<\/span><\/p>\n Most Likely to be Tazed in the Office<\/strong> – Brandon Luck<\/span><\/p>\n Most Gabagool<\/strong> – Jack Bugee<\/span><\/p>\n Most Likely to be confused for one another<\/strong> – Emma Curran and Abbey Todd<\/span><\/p>\n Most likely to fall asleep on the music office couch<\/strong> – Tyler Burkett<\/span><\/p>\n Chillest Vibe – <\/strong>Who was a Chill Ass Vibe.
