Theme / 5 By striving towards new goals we; Created A Sensation As a painter creates a sensation with his masterpiece and a musician) makes a wave with the latest hit\ smash, we too at St. Albert's created our own kind of sensation in 1987 and 1988. From the beginning of the school year we did things that would set us apart from all the other students who have attended St. Albert. By_striving towards new goals to go farther than anyone before us, we had an effect on people. Whether it was in art class, band, on the field , or in the classroom, we surprised all , and made them be6/Theme lieve that we were special. But achieving this wasn't always easy . There were the long nights studying to learn your lines or trying to get that outside jumper to sink. The nights when you stayed up to make sure that you knew everything there was to know about Algebra II (If that is possible!). Then there were the t imes your team didn 't win in wiffleball and it kept coming back to haunt you for the rest of your P.E. days; or the time you thought that everybody was stoned , especially Scott O'Grady for wearing that tie of his all through high school. When all was said and done, you knew it was worth it all because there would be the satisfaction in knowing that someone was watching and they were impressed. Whether we decided to continue our education or start a career or family, the challenges of life will always face us. As St. Albert graduates , we have the solid foundation that will allow us to create a sensation in anything we do.

What with all the sports, our jobs, parties and other assorted activites that we can't go into for fear of censorship. For the most part we strove to keep our life in school and out of school balanced. For the times that we were out of balance we generally paid for it. Somehow, someway the administration always found out when we were out of line. For the times that we were in balance, we spent most of that time working. Whether it was selling clothes or selling canned goods; jobs were a vital part of survival in the 80's. Most of the money that we earned went to paying for car expenses, clothes, or just the necessary things for everyday life. What about the times when we were out of balance and we woke up not really knowing just exactly where we were and we really didn't want to know; we were just glad that we woke up. What about the times when we had to go to school the day after a late night concert and teachers actually wanted us to answer a question. But there were also the times when we just wanted to be alone with that special someone. Wether it was at the movies or for a romantic ride in the carriage in the Old Market, we held those times close to our hearts. The times that we spend outside of the rigorous 8:25 to 3:00 schedule, are the times that will be with us forever.

Student Life / 9 • • • • ' ' ' • • ,, • • Remember, For A Moment Student Life Take just a moment to look back on the year of 1987-88, and remember some of the exciting things we did. "What's going on tonight?" "Hey, did you hear about the party ... ?" Movies attracted many students on the weekend . "Dirty Dancing," "Three Men And A Baby," and "Fatal Attraction" were a few of the big blockbusters. For the late-nighters the "Rocky Horror Picture Show" assured a hilarious time but if you were in the mood for a quiet evening a VCR movie, and a few snacks would complete the picture. The Old Market was the place to go if atmosphere was the quest. Ted and Wally's scooped the best ice cream, and Daydreams provided good laughs, and every now and then a chuckle of embarassment from their "unique " cards. Taking a walk, having a picnic, or even sliding down the slides could be enjoyed at Central Park Mall. The highlight of the evening could be finding a party which was sometimes a 1 O I Student Life ' ' ' ' \ '\ ' rare occurence. Iowa Western and Creighton were some of the popular spots, but a party didn't always mean being crowded in a room with tons of people and deafening music. It could have been a few friends at Kentucky Fried Chicken, or a bunch of guys at a concert: Def Leppard, White Snake, and Whitney Houston were a few of the hot concerts during the year. Ringing up groceries, refereeing ball games, and selling clothes may not have been as fun as a concert or party, but work was a major activity which took up much time with students. Many weekends were given up to earn some extra money. Whatever activities were done, it was who we did them with that made them special, adventurous, and exciting: never forget the fun we had, not even for a moment.

Good Memories This years homecoming like others, was greatly anticipated and accepted by the students and faculty. The hit song by Bon Jovi, " Wanted Dead or Alive," was the theme throughout the week. Starting it off on Monday was Old Timer's Day as the students clad in all forms of senior citizen apparel: from Grandpa's golf pants for the guy, to gray-haired wigs and horned-rimmed glasses for the girls. Canes, walkers, and even wheelcharis, were also commonly seen . · Day two was good ol' be-boppin' 50's and 60's day. Seen around the school was the familiar clothing of that time: poodle-skirts, pony-tails, jeans and t-shirts, topped off with the slick, greased back pompador, with a smoke behind the ear. At the end of the day, they met in the gym for a sock hop. Wednesday everyone hit Jtie S.A. Beach, for Beach Day. Equipped with the natural beach attire, sunglasses, sun-oil, snorkels, and flippers . Karen Birusingh even came prepared to " hit the waves dude," with a surf board. A feeling of togetherness, peace, and oneness blanketed the school for Thrusday's Woodstock Day. Torn-up jeans, bell-bottoms, hippie hair, and signs of "Make Love Not War." Excitement was thick in the air that night for the annual pep-rally. Ag ain, the seniors reigned supreme in the final standings of the events. The finale of the evening found all eyes and ears peeled to find who would be crowned 198i's Homecoming King and Queen . Sean Davis and Cindy Petraitis were the royal ones chosen out of the honorary court of Chris Hanafan , Aaron Walter, Mark Lookabill, Doug Rew, and Steve Martin; Jill Pender, Amy Tobias, Jacqui Slater, Connie Ravlin, and Jean Sillik. Friday everyone wa s dressed to the nines for Dress-Up Day. The traditional Homecoming Mass proved in its success, that even in all the fun, we still have the time to show our love and thanks to God for the chance to have had the fun . That night, fans gathered in the Falcon Stadium to witness the Birds tar and feath er the Cathedral Cardinals 28-6 in the Homecoming Game. The week' s festivities came to an overwhelming climax at the Homecoming Dance. Students rocked the night away to music provided by The Cousins, and were also visually entertained by the popu lar, large video screen. So another Homecoming comes to a clo se, but again a lot of pleasant memories were forever implanted in the minds of all the students of the 1987 Homecoming.

Although these things are a major part of a students life, what about the things they do in school? A students life involves what they do all the time. A students life involves · everything that they do, creating new and exciting things to do around Saint Albert isn't easy, so the students on the hill like to stick to the basics. Whether it is going . to their favorite sports event to cheer on their special guy I gal or gathering in the halls before the last bell rings to get some last minute homework done or talking about last nights gossip. When three o'clock roles around there was always a practice to go to whether it was for a sport or for the play that was to be out. Ah , finally it was the weekend; oh , what to do? There was always time to go out and support the Falcons and Saintes after all that practicing they did. A students life is a way of creating a new sensation of finding things to do and ways to create better times for the things that come everyday.

Tara Cruz '88 is prepared for a sunny day at the beach on Hawai ian Day. What actually takes place behind the scenes of the clubs and organizations at St. Albert? Their existence is known but their goals and achievements are not as familiar. The Non-Users group, for example, met every Friday with Mr. Gordan Ord. He spoke with students on the effects of alcohol and drug abuse. Because the meetings are strictly confidential , the students involved felt comfortable relating their thoughts and feelings with the other members. For those students willing and able to compete at the academ ic level, the Brain Bowl offered them this opportunity. The team consisted of students who represented grade point averages ranging from 2.0 - 4.0. During the academic decathalons, the participants individually took written exams, gave prepared and impromptu speeches, and were interviewed by a group of judges . As a team, they also partic ipated in the Super Quiz at the end of the day. Thi s activity was governed in the same manner as a t.v. game show. Members of the team took turn s at answering questions against their opponents. These are only two examples of the many various clubs and organizations St. Albert has to offer. Although the school is small , it is worthy of the activities its organizations render.

Walking through the halls one bright, sunny morning in early December you might have noticed that there were plastic bags on the floor in front of the statue, brimming over with food and goodies for the poor and needy. And you might have noticed that Ms . Virginia Carbury received an award for her many years of service at Saint Albert during the allschool mass. Who, you ask is doing all these wonderful and amazing feats of goodness? Why, it's the student council. This out-going and nara-worKmg group of young leaders, not only govern the student body, but they start such things as the food drive and decorating the school for Christmas. "We also planned homecoming week and rewrote the constitution of the student council." said Matt Buchanan , secretary I treasurer of the student body. The student council also was involved in getting the new gym underway. This was recognized when student council President Cindy Petratis said a few words during the ribbon cutting ceremony, in which she thanked the many contributors for helping the dream come true . The members of the student council are elected by the students at the end of the previous school year, except for the Freshman memebers who are elected during their Freshman year. The student council works toward making St. Albert a better place to attend. While doing this they learn valuable lessons in leadership and responsibility and the students benefit by being able to have a way to work out problems within the school.

Something to ''Bragg'' about Counseling is more than answering questions for juniors and seniors. "It's a lot of responsibility being a counselor and trusting that you are meeting the needs of all the students that visit the counseling center." Counselor Dean Bragg's schedule is filled with versatility to keep him busy. Bragg co-teaches Peer Counseling with Mr. Kippley, and teaches a seventh and eighth grade guidance course. Bragg has other jobs that coincide with his job as counselor, like assisting with the registration and scheduling process, coordinationg and evaluating the schools testing program, checking on the progress of individual students on request of a parent or teacher, and organizing the Spring Awards program. Even with a hectic schedule, Bragg still has time to help counsel students having difficulties in social, educational, and family settings. When asked why he liked his job so well Bragg stated that it was because "of the student body, in regards to being kind , courteous, and respectful. " Bragg continued to state that he's "never been treated better by students, parents, teachers, and administration." Mr. Bragg has been a counselor and teacher in Nebraska for the past twenty-one years, and is one of the newest members of the St. Albert staff. Danielle Tighe Mr. Bragg calmly shows his concern while helping a student. Guidance I 23 New Comers .. . Write to the top Copyfitting, cropping pictures and deadlines were all familiar phrases to Journalism II students, but to the "new comers " these were unfamiliar and unfriendly terms . The year began by learning the basics: learning to write copy , draw layouts and of course, taking pictures. The class was given assignments and tests to insure that their comprehension of presented material was adequate. Senior Kevin Claussen said, "At first I didn't know if the class was for f!1e. It seemed like a big commitment, but so far it's turned out great." After the basics were learned, the class was given their very first yearbook and newspaper assignments. Applying their newly learned skills with help and encouragement from advisor Barb Yager, all deadlines were met. Junior Dan Ryan stated, "Miss Yager is tough, but I really enjoyed the challenge. When I saw my first story in print, it made all the hard work worth 24/ Journalism it." Along with working during school hours, the students were also required to attend a Wednesday night worknight. The atmosphere at work-night was more relaxed : students went from ties and dress shoes to sweatshirts and tennis shoes; the radio was played and students brought " brain food" to increase their creativity. "The purpose of work-nights was to allow students time to receive extra help and put finishing touches on layouts and stories ," stated advisor Barb Yager. The students worked hard, but each one left knowing he or she played a vital role in creating a sensation .. . Dimensions '88. Nancy McPartland Dan Ryan sits and awaits divine inspiration.

NEW IDEAS Walking into the room, a sense of belonging surrounded the Advanced Journalism students. Each person was so much alike and yet so different. Individuals had a unique way of expressing their ideas whether it was a story for the yearbook, or an inspiration during a Wild "brainstorming" session. Some Preferred to go off by themselves in a quiet corner, while others welcomed -help in a more casual circle of friends. " I write better under pressure. The closer the deadline the easier it is tor me. I like to get the opinion of some other journalism students when I write my stories," said Nancy McPartland. Assignments were given, deadlines met, and frustrations exposed. In the end, however, faces were bright with smiles of pride, and most of all relief. As a coach watches his team practice, and gets to know how each one plays, he realizes that everyone on the team has a completely different personality, and different goals. With Miss Barb Yager as the journalism " coach," the whistle was never blown to stop students from creating their own ideas or opinions. Last year was Miss Yager's first year in charge of the fun-filled Dimensions and Accipiter staff. " It was quite a job to pick up such a responsibility, but all-in-all the class went well. I tried to develop the idea that imagination can be combined with learning." The staff, which included Dennis Christiansen, Matt Buchanan, Tina DeChant, Jacqui Slater, Jeff Howard, Nancy McPartland, Cindy Persinger, Dawn Rickard, and Chuck Thorn, underwent many changes: layouts were drawn up differently, artwork was rare, deadlines were enforced, and the general style was slanted just enough to bring out the students own imaginations and creativity. Did we create a sensation? Through the friendships that will last forever, the 1987-88 Dimensions staff was able to create the yearbook and the paper. A sensation of pride and excellence was developed: Pride in the final creation of Dimensions and excellence in the creation of new ideas.

Combine Education Learn Together as One Attending two different schools for classes was a normal everyday schedule for a few of the seniors. These select few spent two hours a day at A.L. to attend advanced physics and chemistry classes. "Since S.A. is small, it has to limit the classes it offers. It's great that the students who have different interests can go to A.L. and other public schools and take classes there that they otherwise would have missed out on, " commented senior Becky Ficek. In return, students from A.L. attended a comp~ter class at St. Albert which was not offered at their school. These classes were taught by Mr. Belt in the convent during second and third hour everyday. Mr. Belt thought it was a good idea for students to commute back and forth to other schools. His philosophy was, " Another day, another A." Senior Chad McDermott said, "The A.L. students were a little more advanced than we were at first because Senior Becky Ficek makes chemicals during a lab experiment. 281 A.L. Exchange of their better background of chemisty. I feel last year we were cheated because of our chemisty teacher's lack of concern and laziness. Next year the juniors will have a better understanding of what's going on," McDermott continued , " it was also easier to skip, and we never had to eat the school lunch." Meanwhile the sophomores spent one semester trying to pass driver's education classes at Thomas Jefferson. The class used simulators to test their real life reactions to simulated conditions. The students also had actual driving tests: they drove anywhere from the one-way streets of Council Bluffs to the Westroads shopping mall in Omaha.

Groundbreaking begins as construction starts on the gym. 30/New Gym Fundraising profitable S.A. builds new gymnasium Three years ago Father Edward Hurley, Mike Kavars and John O'Conner started scouting other gyms in the metro area for ideas that they could incorporate into the design of the gym. Using the gymnasium designs they had seen the three men came up with three separate ideas. The designs were then presented to the board which was put together to make the final decision about construction . The board, led by Dick Hamming, consisted of six peo- - . After reveiwing the information they had seen they were given the okay to start fundraising . Fundraising brought in approximately one million dollars to distibute throughout the school. The gymnasium received $150,000 to start construction. This , however, was not enough as construction of the gym required more money. This, in turn, delayed construction as alternatives to cutting costs and other sources of funds were looked at. "We had already spent -- $165,000 dollars and we still had to add tiles to the floor and some more beams in," said Athletic Director Mike Kavars. The gym consisted of a basketball court and an adjoining wrestling room, however, its main use was to be P.E. and basketball practice which took some of the wear off the old gymnasium floor. The administration also planned to hold social events such as the auction and other programs in the new gym. Once completed the administration planned to bring the weight room inside the building. • The construction of the new gymnasium presented St. Albert with the ability to further the sensation of accomplishment and pride in the athletic department. There were many people who contributed to the abiity to create this sensation and it is up to the future students to carry-out this attitude.

Student Life I 33 Various seniors find a close moment during Senior Ring Mass I Breakfast. Changes Foreseen; Religion Schedule Varies The religion department wasn't quite the same as it was in years past. There was a larger variety of courses to choose from, and students didn't have to sign up for a class according to what grade they were in. The idea of having more religion classes to choose from was to get the students more interested in religion . Church Issues and World Religion were a couple of the new classes that the students chose out of a student survey taken during the 1986-'87 school year. These classes were based on many social and religious beliefs. Father Kiernan felt that the classes "allow for more lee-way in scheduling." He also added, " the kids seem to like the new classes; and from what I can see, it looks as though the classes are working out fine." Even though the classes looked as if they were working for the students, the teachers of these classes had different problems. "I had never taught World Religion before so I wasn't exactly sure what to expect," said Tom Heithoff, "so what I had to do was just get a feel for the class and what I had to teach." Father Hoefler commented that one of the things he liked about the greater adversity in class choice was that certain courses were not specifically assigned to certain grades. Under the old program , Hoefler felt that students couldn't get as varied of an education on religion as compared to the new program. As for the future, a course dealing with public service looks like a possibility. With more courses to choose from, religion classes and retreats should end up being received much better by the students in the future.

''Carousel'' Creating is not an unfamiliar word when it comes to the theater. It's what actors do best. St. Albert is at the top when it comes to this starting with the fall musical " Carousel." The show began in the late spring of 1987. The cast worked hard throughout the summer with choreography, requiring each cast member to attend five workshops. Joann Cady worked hard, teaching basic dance steps and combinations to students. When school resumed the cast put what they had learned during the summer on the stage with lines and the music. Due to a large cast, new and old faces were in abundance; some " old timers" were Troy Hemmingsen and Peggy 36/Drama McGinn. One newcomer included senior Maureen O'Gara, "I was a little nervous at first I didn't think I could remember all my lines, but everyone was glad to help and that made it easier." High school students were not the only ones involved in "Carousel." Several jr. high students were needed to be in the chorus and to portray Enoch Snow's children. The show gave the junior high students an introduction to theater without much responsibility . The show opened on November 6th and played to a full during its run.

Freshman physic al sc ience students don aprons and prepare for their lab . 38 / Science Science at S.A.: ''Hands-On'' Approach Taken Science isn't a department that receives much attention but in all actuality it is an important part of the school curriculum. The department classes include Biology and Advanced Biology taught by Mr. Dolnicek and Chemistry, Physics, and Physical Science taught by Mr. Schnitker. Mr. Dolnicek began teaching at St. Albert in 1975 and has stayed ever since. Mr. Dolnicek enjoys students, which is one of the reasons why he enjoys teaching so much. In the classroom Mr. Dolnicek tries to teach to each person in his class and to give everyone some hands on experience. He tries to get his students to use problem solving techniques and pratical application, rather than just repetition . "I kind of like it when a plan comes together" said Mr. Dolnicek "we give them a little knowledge and they apply it." It's this part of teaching that gives Mr. Dolnicek a sense of accomplishment. As a teacher Mr. Dolnicek sees each year as a new challenge with new faces and new personalities, therefore, the same information is being differently by a new group of kids. On the other side of the tracks is Chemistry teacher Mr. Stephen Schnitker. Mr. Schnitker graduated from Saint Albert in 1968 and returned to teach in 1972 at St Albert. After two years he left to pursue a career change. While he was away Mr. Schnitker missed what he enjoyed most about teaching . The ability to determine how and what he wanted to do in the course, how to plan it, and carry it through while learning from the experience. So he returned this year to teach chemistry. One of the things he noticed was that the school was smaller "but they now have a greater diversity of classes." Mr. Schnitker would like to make some changes in his class in the next few years like such as the number of labs, new books, and improving the facilities . Mr. Schnitker has always preferred chemistry because of his own personal tastes but judging the student responses, he thinks the students enjoy the the organizational and systematic concepts best. Many students view the science department as a stepping stone to future plans. " I will eventually need it if I decide to go into the medical field ", said junior Greg O'Grady . However, most students seem to enjoy the labs and watching chemical reactions take place. The highlight would seem to be on the dissecting of frogs . "I think it'll be fun to see the innards and stuff," commented sophomore Adam Jones. Matt Fenner Mr. Schnitker explains a lab to freshman Matt Noon. Science / 39 Social Studies ... History, the key to the future " St. Albert has one of the best social studies programs in the state of Iowa," stated social studies instructor Ken Meshling, "our teachers here at St. Albert are all devoted in their field of social studies," said Mr. Meshling. Mike Kavars also agreed adding that St Albert offers " four years of social studies while most others only offer three." St. Albert offers a variety of courses in the social studies field such as contemporary history, world history, government, United States history, economics, psychology, sociology, and honors history. " To give the kids here such a variety of classes expands Mr. Wettengel shows his coolness to the camera. 401 Social studies their knowledge," stated Mr. Shorey. History is an important part in everyone's life. History helps us realize where we have been and where we are going; it helps us to realize the mistakes our forefathers have made and the improvements that have been made in our society. "I enjoy learning about the past to see the changes that have been made," said Mr. Kavars. Mike Herbert adds "If we did not know about the past then how would we know where we came from and how we got to be where were at now." " I think that history is one of my most interesting subjects and even if it wasn't required for four years I would still take it," said Scott Jones. The improvements that the teachers would like to see in the department are varied . Mr. Meshling stated "I would like to see mo r e honors history classes picked up for the students who would like to keep on going in social studies ." "All the equipment we have to use the maps , globes , projectors, and VCR's help teaching," said Mr. Wettengel. Mr. Kavars added " the projectors and VCR's are almost always available when we need them ." Mike Brisso Mr. Wettengel teaches two of his fine students.

Personal Development With the stroke of a brush and the spinning of a pottery wheel the arts and crafts classes have learned to create their own sensation. With art director, Deb McGuire inspiring her students, it was easy for a closeness to develop between teacher and student. " We can express our most intimate thoughts through our work, with class members, and Ms. McGuire," stated junior, Dawn Hite. Whether you were a beginner trying to learn the color wheel or a developed artist learning how to air brush, the emphasis in these classes was personal development. "Art let's me be myself, it's a way to express myself through color and design," explained senior, Kathy Alters . Each student at St. Albert has a talent whether expressed or hidden. Through arts and crafts these students were able to discover and improve their talents which were displayed in many forms: whether it was in the art room, on the wall , throughout the school or on a ceil ing tile these talents definitely can not go unnoticed. "I don't push people or strive to make them artists, I just let them express themselves through art on paper," stated Ms. McGuire. Inspiration was a key word in art. Many students found their inspiration coming from within themselves: a collage of past and present experiences: others found motivation through external forces : fellow young artists , music and poetry. With this in mind , it was easy to see that the arts and crafts are an important factor in creating and developing individualism at St. Albert Amy Tobias Freshmen Brian Avise and Meg Gronstal share artis· tic ideas in Art 1.

Choir to unified sound The '88 St. Albert choir was one that was both physically close and also unified vocally. The 87-88 year was a good one for the choir, with many performances and talented students. "I love to sing. I feel that our class is pretty close and I really enjoyed working with choir members," said Junior Peggy McGinn. A regular day in choir consists of working on new material for upcoming events, going over details about competitions, and learning individual parts. A great amount of time is also spent practicing learned material which helps make the choir sound like well-practiced singers. The choir is also involved in competitions, mostly in solo and ensemble but also in the All City Music Festival. Troy Hemmingsen and Peggy McGinn participated in duets and Peggy McGinn also sang two solos in the solo and ensemble corripetition in late March. With the help of the energetic and devoted Mr. Kippley the choir reached new heights of togetherness and oneness. Mr. Kippley is the key to bringing this group of diverse individuals into a single harmonious sound . The choir functions as a team, but creates with the specialization of the individual.

College applications are Christmas cards, you wouldn't want to forget anyone important, and most would like to sit back, relax and get things in order. TEC offers that oppurtunity. Teens Encounter Christ is a three day weekend at St. Thomas Moore Center. There are approximately ten TEC's offered during the school year, from which seniors choose. The purpose of TEC is to give students time to think about what they have accomplished, what lies ahead of them, but most important it helps students realize what they have. There are no pressures in the weekend; the students are there to talk about their life, forget about school and the pressures of teen life for three days. Seniors from all across Iowa attended TEC and it was a good oppurtunity to gain new friends, cherish the old ones and have fun with both.

The pom-poners won every award at the Iowa State Porn-Pon camp, went to Nationals in Anaheim, California and two girls were invited to travel abroad and perform. The 1987-88 pom-pon squad consisted of seniors Beth Quigley,Jacqui Slater, Jill Pender, Tina DeChant, Becky Ficek, Amy Tobias, Kathy Alters, Cindy Persinger, and Connie Ravlin. Junior members were Gina Gronstal, Libby Arnold, Sh ila Behrensen, Laurie Coats, and Dawn Hite. Sophomores Megan Ryan, Jenni Kruse rounded out this elite group. At the Iowa State Porn-Pon Camp the girls won the home routine award tor the routine "Hit That Perfect Beat/ Wipeout." In addition to that award they won the Squad Routine trophy which is learned at camp, the Sweepstake trophy which is based on total blue ribbons, the Award of Excellence which is given to the best squad out of 28. They also won the Spirit Megaphone and the Spirit Stick. Not only did the girls come out of the camp with a birth at Nationals, Beth Quigly was asked to perform at the halftime show at the Aloha Bowl in Honolulu and Jacqui Slater was invited to go to England and Ireland. While in Ireland Jacqui performed in the parade celebrating the 1 OOOth birthday of Dublin and performed at the Lord Mayors of Dublin ball. Even though Beth Quigly and Jacqui Slater are Captain and Co-Captain they did not have sole responsibility in the creation of their routines . "Everybody had to develop at least one routine." said senior Jacqui Slater. Dennis Christiansen Sophomore Megan Ryan shows her practiced pom-pon smile while at pompon camp.

After winning every award at the Iowa State Porn-Pon camp, this years St. Albert's pom-pon squad was picked to perform along with 25 other squads tron across the nation in the 1987·1988 Nationals in Anaheim, California . Although it took alot of hard work and dedication to get to Anaheim, once the girls were there it was mostly fun and games. The first day in California they did what all natives of Cali· fornia do; head to the ocean. A group of six daring girls decided to go into the water whether they had bathing suits or not. The next destination for the pom-poners was the Chi· nese Theater and the Walk of Fame. After marvelling at the hands and feet of many a superstar they were off to spend New Year's Eve at Disneyland where the girls saw Richard Marx and Expose in concert. The next day was spent at Disneyland with the day being capped off by a party and dance for all the pom-pon girls. But on Saturday it was down to business as the girls started the day out with two practices in the morn ing and the rest of the day was spent having a birthday party for sponsor Deb McGuire, Connie Ravlin , and Shelia Behrense . Sunday, January 4th was spent at th e malls, as the girls shopped the day away. After a hard day of shopping the pommers went to the world famous Hard Rock Cafe to indulge in some California atmosphere. Universal Studios was th e last stop on this trip tor th e girls. They viewed such famou s lot s as th e house on the hill in the "Psycho" films, they almost got devoured by the flesh eating shark from " Jaws ", and the ape that took New York by storm King Kong. Amon g th e days events, Kathy Alters was able to join the ranks of Neil Armstrong and John Young, as she was lifted off the earth into the air in th e studi os space suit. Dennis Christiansen Nationals I 5 1 Cheer, Cheer For The S.A. Spiritleaders! The 1987-88 cheerleading squads were full of enthusiasm and school spirit: cheering at pep rallies , creating spirit signs and ten girls were able to attend a summer camp. Any Varsity member had the opportunity to participate at the NCA cheerleading camp in August. The camp was held in Ames, Iowa, and was four fun-filled days that included chants, cheers, pyramids, techniques and 'friends. " Camp was fun . We learned how to make great pyramids and learned a lot of new cheers and chants. We also met a lot of people," said Sheila Konz. The camp taught cheerleaders to project their cheers and different ways to create spirit and excitement during the games. The cheerleaders who attended were Sheila Konz , Marsha Heenan, Paulette Chullino, Lynn Quinze, Danielle Tighe , Michelle Doner, Mary McClellan, Gina Tolliver, Melodie Schlautman, and Maureen O'Gara. They all agreed that camp was a great experience and was worth every sore muscle and all the sweat. Although neither the J.V. nor freshman squads were able to go to camp, cheerleading did give them many great memories. J.V. member Amy Lookabill said "The bus trips were fun because it brought everyone together. Now we're all close friends." Cha Ii Inserra, a freshman cheerleader said, "At the beginning of basketball season I felt intimidated by the large squads from other schools, but we did really good the last few games." The togetherness of each individual squad was very apparent. But when put together they equaled just one squad, the 1987-88 Saint Albert Spiritleaders.

SENIOR...---~ Tim Shea struts hi s stuff at Prom '88. 54/SENIORS Senior Kathy Alters a.k.a. " Digs" enjoys herself at the Sock Hop. "It's a world of laughter, a world of tears, it's a world of hope, and a world of fear. There's so much that we share that it's time we're aware it's a small world after all." This popular tune from our childhood days described the way the class of '88 felt as they left the doors of St. Albert for the last time. They were eager to face the challenges the world had to offer, but behind those eager faces was anticipation and fear. No longer did they have each other to talk, laugh, and cry with. They were on their own. Although some may establish successful careers or start families of their own , the memories of their senior year will live on in their heart s forever. It will be nearly impossible to forget: the school dances with the dreaded breath analyzer, the road trips and overnight stays in Des Moines during the State Basketball Tournament, skip day(s), and of course the junior I senior prom . There are endless oth er fond memories that each senior will always remember. The Class of '88 will look back on their senior year with a smi le and a tear.

SENIORS~- SENIORS/ 55 56/Seniors Jeff Howard, David Meyerring, Kevin Claussen try their luc k during casino night. It's been the ... Time Of Our Lives. Concerts, parties, skip day, or just plain hanging out were all a part of this year's senior class' good times and as in most years there was a certain togetherness that was felt. Whether it was due to the fact that this was our final year together or just because we realized that we all had some redeeming qualities to lend in making this year's class one of the best. This year's Senior class seemed to have a certain quality to it that separated it from all the rest. The class showed its ability to share during the _ a nnual St. Albert Feast Day. We shared our humor with the future of St. Albert, laughing with S.A. primary students during story-time and recess. "It gave the class the opportunity to remember what it was like when we were young," stated Jeff Howard. Whether that quality was the humor that all of us possessed, the ability to crack a joke at any given moment to lighten up a situation or the fact that we could rise to a challenge, meet and surpass the challenge. But what ever the 1987-88 Senior class quality was, it doesn 't change the fact that St.Albert will never have another class which can be compared . It's been said that these are going to be the best years of our lives and that these years should be the times that we remember. This was evident in this years Junior- Senior Prom. "This is the Time to Remember" was the theme that took us through the night as we danced, roller skated, partied or went to casino night on our final prom. The annual senior skip day gave us another last time together to look back . and remember. The day was one of the few times that most of the seniors could get together for a few hours of closeness as a group. So it really has been the time of our lives, but we've only lived eighteen years of that life. What's ahead for us as we leave the halls of good ole' S.A.? Were these really the best times? Most of the class is going off to college and will meet new friends and have more opportunities to reach out and fulfill themselves so we'll never know how good our senior year was until we are settled in or chosen paths. We will then be able to look back and remember all the good times we had. Dennis Christiansen ,,.- ,. . =! \. ·~ / . t .

On April 23rd, as the couples walked through the silver tunnel, they entered a modern world. The gym was filled with red , white, black, and silver streamers. A shining city lined the gym, gorgeous white palm trees were waving in the air and the unique looking mannequins seemed to be dancing every now and then. Although there were mixed emotions about having prom in the new gym, it was easier for the juniors to decorate since it was much smaller. The junior class had many people help with the decorations. As usual the same people were there practically every night, but they even had. students help who were not going to Prom. "I didn't think I would like it being in the new gym, but I did. It turned out really well. I think the decorations turned out better because it is so much smaller," said senior Tina DeChant. One anonymous senior commented, " I think they cut a lot of corners. It didn't seem quite as neat this year." The Prom court consisted of juniors Theresa Fischer, Julie Holder, Peggy McGinn, Steve Oberdin, Brian O'Connor, and Brian Ratigan. The seniors were Cindy Petratis, Connie Ravlin, Amy Tobias, Doug Rew, Mark Lookabill, and Chris Hanafan. Chris Hanafan and Amy Tobias were the newly crowned King and Queen. Post Prom began at 12:30 at Rolla Rena East. Many couples attended and had a great time. It was more like a Roller Derby for some people and the bumps and bruises were there to show for it. The limbo and the numerous drawings for prizes were favorites of the night. Casino Night took place in the new gym after skating . Craps, blackjack, and chuck-a-luck were the most popular games. While some students were desperately trying to stay awake, others were raking in the "money" and the prizes. Also at Casino Night was a big screen T.V. showing movies in the wrestling room. Mass was offered for any students, parents, or faculty that wanted to attend. For some students, Post Prom wasn't their idea of fun . As in past years, hotel rooms and private parties were popular. " We went to a hotel room because we had alot of friends who came and partied with us, and it was a GREAT time!" said Nancy McPartland. To conclude the evening and morning events some couples watched the sunrise together, others slept through it, and still others continued to party. Although every couple celebrated prom in different ways, everyone shared similar feelings that they will always remember: Jacqui Slater Gina Gronstal, Libby Arnold, Jacqui Slater, and Amy Tobias have a great time whi le skating.

The Saint Albert tradition was carried on with excellence this year as girls cross country, football and boys basketball teams all went to state. The fall saw the girls cross country team have another blistering season winning nine meet titles, placing first at districts and third at the state meet in Ames . The Football team compiled a impressive 8-1 season. The Falcons , however, fell victim to Shenandoah 21- 14 in the first round of the state playoffs. The Falcon basketball team gave us two weeks of excellent basketball in the state of Iowa as the Falcons took their 22-1 record into Vets Auditori um. The Falcons won their first two games to advance to the championship game against Perry. Unfortunately, the Falcons lost 76-60 to take second in class 2A. The season was a tribute to the Falcon's hard work and dedication by overcoming many injuries throughout the season. The remaining sports were just as successful. Although not all of th em had outstanding records, each team and individual gave 11 0%, if not more. This amount of participation is a trademark which St. Albert students take pride in.

Though the Nonpareil and most other observers had·this on their mind the Falcons had other things such as , Conferance Champs and state-playoff bid . Most were talking about the past while the Falcons went on to humiliate their first five opponents by a combined total score of 181-27. The Falcons only regular season loss came against Omaha Roncalli. Falling behind 21-0 in the second quarter, the Falcons ended the half on a 53 yard flea flicker from Aaron Walter to Steve Martin to Brian Ratigan for a touchdown . The Falcons dominated Roncalli in the second half holding them to only 89 total yards. The Falcons comeback fell short though, as trailing 21-14, an onside kick failed enabling Roncalli to run out the clock. Strong wins against Holy Name (34- 8) and St. Joseph (34-0) propelled the 7-1 falcons into a home playoff birth againest the Shenandoah Mustangs. The Falcons scored first on a fifteen yard run by Walter but it just wasn't meant to be for the falcons as Shenandoah scored two second quarter touchdowns and never looked back. The Falcons could never get back on track losing 21 -7.

Varsity Football/ 75 Team record deceiving; Frosh/ JV give their best Freshmen football, the newest members to the Saint Albert athletic team, started the season with eager minds and talents to be discovered. The freshmen lost three out of their four games and won their last match-up. The freshmen year, however, is one used to find faults and strengths in individual players. "I just wish the season could have gone a little better," s1ated coach Loren Lintner. The freshmen team consisted of the following people: Brian Avise, Matt Vanscoy, Jay Killion, Greg Miller, Matt Helms, Robert Wise, Jim Romano, Brett Moffat, Matt Noon, Chris Gard, Cory Sautter, Steve Edelbrock, Matt Blizzard, and coach Loren Lintner. The junior varsity team also spent the season discovering their capabilities and talents, and were able to have fun . The team 's season ended with a 1-4 record. Their one win came agai'nst Abraham Lincoln. " It really felt great to beat Abraham Lincoln , it was the highlight of the season," said sophomore Chris Morton . The team also found that winning isn't everything, " I had a fun season , even though we may not have played the best , we had a fun time at the games and besides we beat Abraham Lincoln for the first time in ten years, so we couldn't have played all that bad," stated sophomore teammate Bob Martin. The junior varsity team cons isted of the following people: Bill Pattee, Dave Hawk, Matt White, Jarod Konz , Rob Will iams, Rob Dressel!, Matt Fenner, Dan Ryan , Chris Morton, Bob Martin, Mike Herbert, Wayne Johnson, Pat Nieland, Tim Minor, John Conzemius, Bill Nettels and head coach Dick Wettengel.

Another State Meet The 1987 Saintes Cross Country team pulled off another stunning season going to state for the 5th time in the six years Coach John Shorey has been at the helm. Once again it was a banner year, the Saintes finished 1st in ten meets finishing second once at Red Oak; They took their 7th straight conference champ'ionship; and they took first at district and 3rd at state the best in Saintes cross country history. The Saintes were led by senior Jean Sillik who pulled off another impressive season. Despite being hampered by injuries throughout most of the season Sillik place first in 9 meets and second in the other two. Her most impressive victory of the season was a come from behind victory at the N.C.C. in which she set a course record for a 2.5 mile course of 15:32. Sillik won the district meet for the second consecutive year and placed 7th at the state meet. Sophomore Shelly O'Brien, rightfully so, was named most improved runner by her teammates. O'Brien finished in the top five in every meet except one. She placed second at Districts behind Sillik. At the state meet she finished 12th improving from 48th her freshmen year. None of the team's success would have been reached without the strong running of juniors Theresa Fischer and Sherry Slobodnik. Good things were also seen from Rookie of the Year Diane Fi scher.

They placed as high as second at the Glenwood Invitational behind individual champion and most valuable runner Tim Shea. A major highlight of the season for the boys was bringing home the runner-up trophy from the Nebraska Centennial Conference that was held in David City, Nebraska. Although seniors played the main role, there were also three more runners who lettered which added to their varsity experience: Junior Wayne Keefer and sophomores Mark Shea and Adam Jones. Keefer has been a three year letter winner and was third runner all season. He played a major role in the Falcons success and will be the team's leader next year as a senior. The competiveness within the team and against other schools was clearly shown by having seven runners letter, yet only five run varsity. "It was a great first year for me, it was like a great big family having fun and getting serious about running" said frosh Kevin Ryan. "I was real proud of the effort and work the boy's put in. They should be proud of their accomplishments. They were definitely one of the best teams in southwest Iowa this season," stated sixth year veteran coach John Shorey. Junior Greg McDonald and Freshman Kevin Ryan ran J.V. this season for the Falcons. Both showed promise and are ' expected to move up to the varsity level and contribute to the team's success next season. Jean Sillik Pat Thompson leads a pack of runners during the A.L. Invitational.

Cross Country / 81 A satisfying season; look towards a ... Promising Future! The 1987 Saintes Volleyball team, under new first year coach Tom Heith· off, were by far, unimpressive. The team, however, accomplished one of their main goals · to have fun. The only downset was the girls hard· to-swallow record, which is actually misleading. The Saintes averaged 1 O points per contest, keeping it close. Because the team was young in knowledge and experience, Heithoff wanted to play a solid six, but instead was playing nine. The silver lining, being next year will host six letterwinners plus eight with varsity experience. The seasons leading standouts were: -In serving, Susi Eberhard had 91 % accuracy, and also led the team with 31 aces. Following were Karla Miller and Becky Ficek who both had 90% serving accuracy. ·In serve-re· ceiving, Jill Pender led with a 81 % returning average, while Ficek, again, was just behind with a 79% ratio. ·In kills, Annette Hunter was the leader with 41 , followed by Shari Hughes who had 32. -Jacqui Slater and Amy To· bias, not only did a nice job filling in wherever needed, but also had the best attitudes, in giving their support for the team. As for next year, Jenny Rawlings, Cindy Corbaly, Jen Brown, and Laurie Coats. will fill some nice spots. Next year, Heithoff said he will be emphasizing athletic ability. " I'm going to tell the girls that the best six girls are going to be out there. Those who won't be afraid to play some hard defense of hitting the floor and getting a couple bruises." As for this year and years to come, Coach Heithoff phrased his thoughts quite well by saying, "Winning seasons are a result of a lot of hard work and pain from other seasons."

"Great effort and desire," is how Mrs. Beckman described the junior varsity and freshman volleyball teams. The freshman team finished an excellent season with an impressive 14-1-2 record. The freshman played consistent and very near their potential the entire year. " I feel that everyone played the best they could and gave all they had," explained freshman Stephanie Klement. - With hard practices and good effort the freshman prospered. "Team work improved with each game along with the will to win," explained Beckman. "Our team set goals to do the best we could, to work as a team and to win more than we lose," expressed Stephanie Klement. With all their efforts the freshman succeeded in these goals.

"We had a lot of talent on the court but we just couldn't put it together," stated Jen Brown. "A referee at the A.L. tournament even said to us that we play like champs one minute and the next we play like we haven 't seen a volleyball before. We would have won a lot more games if we were more consistent. " The team finished the season with a 3- 13-1 record but that isn't characteristic of the teams played for the whole season. "Their basic skills and teamwork improved greatly," said Beckman . With both teams possessing a lot of talent the future for S.A. volleyball looks very bright.

JV VB / 85 A Challenging season fullfilled by Saintes Year a Complete Success The season was a performance beyond expectation; yet many changes affected the team: the loss of six seniors, a new coach and a young defense. " With only eight varsity members, each player had to count . .. all five players on the floor had to be great," stated coach Tom Heithoff. The Saintes finished in the top of their divisiol'\, holding opponents defensively to less than 40 points a game. The team also ended up 1- 1 in the final four of the NCC tournament, beating Holy Name 55-37 before losing to Wahoo-Newman 45-35. To acheive this successful season, the team developed a list of five goals at the beginning of the season and accomplished all but one. The Saintes also had the challenge of adjusting to their new coach, yet even this hurdle was overcome by the Saintes. " Heithoff designed plays to fit the team' s strengths" stated junior Shelly Nelson, " everyone tried hard and coach kept us going." Adding to the acheivement of the teams goals was their ability to play as a unit. " I think we really played as a team; everybody contributed to the program," stated junior cager Theresa Fischer. According to coach Tom Heithoff, the year was, " A total and complete success by the team, with a performance beyond expectations."

Future for Girls Basketball Looks Great Frosh and JV Girls Storm Through Season This season proved to be quite a surprise and a success for the freshman Saintes and for head coach Pat Kroll. "We really played some tough teams and I'm glad the season turned as great as it did," said Kroll. The Saintes finished the season with an excellent record of 7-2, which is one of the more impressive records over the last few years. The Saintes added team cooperation and great effort in every game which equaled success. "The team really tried hard in practice and in games which is the reason for a 7-2 record," stated Kroll. "I feel that everyone gave their best, and with a season like this it will inspire everyone to keep giving it their best next year also," said teammate Kari Hanafan. With a freshmen team like this, these Saintes should prove to be a great team in the future. With 6 out of 10 players on the jv. team being from the freshman team the season was very much the same, which means another winning season for the Saint Albert girls basketball. "Since alot of the girls played freshmen as well as iv. they had a lot of time in practice which, in turn, helped both team records," stated coach Pat Kroll. The j. v. finished the season with a 12-3 record; this season in Saintes basketball will long be remembered by many.

Uncertainty surrounded the start of the Falcons year with junior Brian Ratigan as the only returning starter and due to an illness was out his first five starts. But the uncertainity was short lived as the Falcons flew to a 5-0 record and were ranked fourth in state. The Falcons only loss of the season came on the road against CarrollKuemper. Although the Falcons were down by as many as 19 they quickly rebounded defeating city rival A.L. in a come-from-behind win, with the final score being 55-54.

The team hit its strides after two early loses to Red Oak and Lewis Central. "We had some pretty high goals to start the season but after we lost twice we did them over." stated junior Tony Kruse. The team played with more consistency each game as they began to gel together. The effort given this year was great and it showed. "I called them a 'blue collar team' because I thought we worked hard for every victory" expressed head coach Dick Wettengel. "We had to work a lot harder than other J.V. teams in the past," added junior Dale Scott. From beginning to end the team improved, and most nights the team played to its ability. "With a good off-season, if they work hard some of these players will help with our varsity," stated Wettengel. The freshman team posted a 5-10 rl3cord this season. The freshman were led by the strong play of Marc Schnitker. " We gave a lot of effort this year but we probably should have won a few more," commented Schnitker.

The team was aggresive but lacked in numbers and experience needed to end with a winning season. "The team had the right attitude but they just didn 't know how to win," stated senior Steve Martin . The team progressed to become self confident and tried develop a stronger image. Martin wrestled in 5 out of 6 tournaments this year due to an injury at a city meet stating "I got first at Conference, 3rd at St. Josephs, 3rd at Audubon and 4th at West Harrison." Although there were no state qualifiers, one individual went to districts, junior Steve Oberdin. Oberdin's record for the season was 6-18 with six matches being very close. "I concentrate on thinking about three moves at a time. If one doesn't work you have to come back with another move," stated Oberdin, who used this method during and before matches. The teams best match was against Carrol-Kuemper. The team started out winning 3 out of the first 5 and came close on the next six. "Individual wins were helpful. You need the majority of wins or the major wins for more points but the inexperienced-self confidence hurt in duals . We had good team spirit," stated Lintner, " just wait until next year." Dawn Hite Golf becoming popular with students ... Future Looking Brighter for S.A. Golfers The 1988 Boys and Girls Golf team teed-off to a great start this season. The season, however, didn't go as expected. " I knew what the boys golf team was capable of accomplishing and what I should expect from them . They have, so far, defeated these expectations," stated coach Scott Belt. " I think that we could be playing a little better, but we're doing about what I figured we would," said senior Sean Davis. . "Golf is becoming a very popular sport in high schools every where, and with that comes many great golfers, which creates quite a challenge," stated senior Doug Struyk. For the Girls Golf team the season looked good. "I think we deserved to get as far as we have because we have worked so hard at it through the year's," said senior Kathy Alters. The team only has three seniors, and with that the team has to work harder due to the inexperience, but "they did all right for being such a young team," stated coach Mike Kavars.

Track Team Hurdles Many Challenges The 88 track season started out with a larger than usual team with both new members and seasoned veterans. The season began at a slow pace for the track team with thier first meet being missed due to the boys state basketball tournament and their second meet the C.B. Relays being cancelled due to weather. When the season finally got under way a must see event at every track meet was the 4-100. This relay which qualified for the Drake relays consisted of seniors Doug Rew, Junior Todd Klien , - sophomore Brian Brabec, and junior Trent Holmberg. . Along with a strong team of sprinters the Falcons also had great long dis98/Track tance runners in Tim Shea, Pat Thompson, and Wayne Keefer. Tim Shea set himself among St. Alberts elite runners this year and came in a close third just missing qualification for state, while Pat Thompson struggled through his injury to make strong showings but also fell short of making state. The Falcons also had many participants in field events this year. Brian Ratigan , Dan Ryan , and Chuck Simms were involved in shot put and discus , while Doug Rew and Chris Gard set new personal records in the long jump. The Falcons didn't always place as high as hoped and met dissapointment at districts where no one qualified for the state meet yet had four third place finishes with only the top two finishers going to state. One problem that arose this year was that of injuries . Injuries plagued the Fa lcons. Pat Thompson suffered a knee injury in preseason, Jonathon Johnson had a severe hamstring pull at the Clarinda Invitational, and Mark Brisso was ill with mono which kept him out until th e end of the season. The season which started slowly for the Falcons was a year filled with personal records and hard work. even if th e chances of winning weren 't the best , the effort and strive to make oneself the best pushed the Falcons forward .

Although injuries hampered the performances for Cindy Petratis and Jean Sillik and ended the season for Carrie Miller and Sherry Slobodnik, Coach John Shorey felt that the team " had a good season, but due to injuries we fell a little short of our expectations. " The season was full of ups and d"awns yet several team members attended the state meet in ' Des Moines. Individually, veteran trackster Jean Sillik competed in the 3000 meter run while Shelley O'Brien ran the 800. Putting their talents together were Cindy Petratis, Karla Miller, Shelley O'Brien and Jean Sillik running the distance medley relay. Although none of the ladies placed, their efforts in each event were commendable. As for the future of Saintes track, the future looks bright. Freshman Kristie Gross found this to be true . " The first year of high school track was a lot different from junior high track. We work hard and it paid off when we did good at the meets." Members of the 1988 Saintes track team were : Freshman Kari Hanafan, Kristi e Gross, Tina Ryan, Christy Hunter.and Diane Fischer; Sophomores Shelley O'Brien, Carrie Miller, Andrea Leggio and Jenny Rawlings ; Juniors Julie Holder, Theresa Fischer and Karla Miller; Seniors Cindy Petratis and Jean Sillik .

There were many ups and downs for the Falcons and Saintes. Even though their season wasn't that great, they have great expectations for the years to come. "We are looking forward to next year and redeeming ourselves," added sophomore Bryan Brabec. One of the problems yet again this year was the fact that soccer was not sanctioned by the school. Putting this point behind them, the Falcons and Saintes were able to concentrate on developing a winning season . " It just upset us," added Freshman Stephanie Klement" we really wanted to become a sport recognized by the school." One of the highlights of the season was the annual Saint Albert, Lewis Central challenge cup match. The Falcons and Saintes showed pure soccer excitement by downing both the girls and boys teams and reigning as champs and keeping the trophy yet another year. Sophomore Bill Nettles said " the L.C game was the best game of the season , we had a victory over our city rivals." The season proved to be an exciting one for the future soccer teams and it proved that it will be a sport ready to compete for years to come. Dawn Rickard Bottom row I to r Tara Cruz.

Rebuilds With Youth Movement The St. Albert boys and girls tennis teams took a few on the chin this year but enjoyment was to be found. "We had a lot of fun, " said sophomore Corey Schmida. The boys team posted a 1-7 record but won some impressive matches as individuals and as doubles teams. Also, due to the small numbers out for the team, no one advanced to the state competition . "For having as small a team as we did I think we worked a little better as a unit than most of the teams we played, but they just outnumbered us," commented Schmida. "The players put forth a great deal of effort in every match," stated head coach Kathy Beckman. One highpoint of the season had to be when the Falcons blitzed the Glenwood Rams taking nearly every match. There was some disappointment, however, in not sending a doubles team to state competition. The future looks as if it could be bright for the Falcons. "It looks pretty good, we'll have some 8th graders coming up to fill some spots next year. It'll be tough but I think we can upset some teams and surprise a lot of people," added Schmida. The Saintes compiled a 3-4 team record this season. Last year the girls won only one match and one goal for this year's team was to do better. They started off fast by beating Glenwood early in the season. "The girls put forth their best effort," stated coach Beckman. This effort showed as the team improved throughout the year. Was the season what Beckman expected? "It was better. Everyone improved from last year and we won more matches. Everyone worked a lot harder and cared more." With the addition of some talented underclassmen and hard work the future could be prosperous. Was the 1988 season a success? "Very much so; the future will be even better," stated Beckman.

Softball team swings into another season Optimistic is the key word for the Saintes softball season. The Saintes started out the season with no returning seniors and a new coach , Loren Lintner. The newcomers are "looking tough , and well disciplined," stated Lintner. However, there are several returning players to help the team. Players such as Karla Miller, Jean Sillik and Theresa Fischer will provide the team with the leadership needed to become a winning team. "We have 7 returning letterman this year, if that's not impressive, I don 't know what is ," exclaimed assistant coach Pat Kroll. Looking at the Saintes' schedule, the major challenges lie in the South West Iowa tournament, sectionals and districts, according to Lintner. "The SWI tournament is the team's replacement of the conference tournament and sectionals is "" ' • • , .4'· - the first step to state,'' stated Lintner. Kroll stated that the tough game for the season would be Nishna Valley. " Nishna Valley beat us in regular season last year. The game against them should foretell the season. " The team has set high standards for themselves, using a set of goals to guide their team play. These goals include being able to "win twenty games, and to play minimum errorball." With a strong defense, the minimum error goal should be easy to accomplish. This defense includes outstanding defense from Karla Miller, Shelly Nelson and Shari Hughes. " Nelson had 5 errors in a seson of 22 games,'' added Kroll . The only weak spot for the team is the offense. " Last year's hitting was average and if we can get our bats going, we're a potential for state,'' stated Kroll. The Saintes Softball team is looking forward to a good season, with a new type of energy from a new coach and strength from "tough and experienced" players.

As an underclassman, sometimes you concentrate so intently on your future that you forget to stop and enjoy what's happening in your life at the present time. As your elders will often say, "The high school years are the best time in your life." As a freshman, you start at the bottom not knowing what to expect from high school. During this time you gain a feeling of belonging and look towards taking your next big step. Being a sophomore involves graduating from Driver's Ed. and receiving your long-awaited driver's license. It's a time to establish strong relationships among your friends . The junior year is the year of the A.C.T. test and other college preparation . It's a year of part-time jobs and candy bar sales for prom. The juniors happily awaited the time they could call themselves seniors. Each and every class plays an important part in the S.A. family. Whether you're a freshman or a senior-to-be it is crucial to enjoy the time you have with each other. Before you know it, you'll have graduated and your high school years will be only a fond memory.

A class full of potential to reach and strive for the future. Some of us have been at St. Albert ever since we started school and others have joined in along the way. We each have contributed to the atmosphere here at S.A. We've created our own feeling of closeness and have given each other many memories to hold close . Remember the first time we walked in the doors of St. Albert high school on 6th grade visitation day? We kind of looked around and thought this school was huge. The upper classmen tried to sell us elevator passes, later to find out that there were no elevators. "I think we are a very close class and excelled in every aspect of school," stated Dan Ryan. Being a junior does have it's bad points. We're in a position of limbo. Due to the fact that we are almost seniors, we must begin to consider college. To most of us this seems light years away, but in all actuality, it is just around the corner. As juniors, we are given more resonsibilities; more homework, harder tests, and we also are of age to get a job. We have only one year left, so senioritis hasn't set in yet, but graduation is now within our grasp. We are the future. We look forward to next year to bring excellence in academics and sports, yet we also real ize that our lives are just beginning. We have a lifetime to shape the mold which entails our lives. We will hold on to today, cherish yesterday and live for tomorrow. Mike Brisso Nate Schnitker and Matt Witzke express their enthusiasm towards Chemistry.

What makes the age of sixteen unusual? Is it the fact that there really is no specific place they can fit into? Being a sophomore is tough; not in a position of power like a senior; not close enough to being a junior to know what it is that should be taken to prepare for college; and not so new to the system that you get away with many acts, like the freshman. Being a sophomore at St. Albert is tough, but the class of '90 is also very special. They seem to make the best of the situation by being involved in as many things as possible . Even though they are not the top on the list they make the most of it. Jen Brown said "I think what makes us special is the fact that we are ·different people and we all can get together.and the fact that we are all unique we respect each other more." But this is the age when it all really happens: you turn sixteen and you get your license and begin to drive; you begin to date more because your parents think that you are more responsible, and lets face it, th e most evident fact is that you are no longer a freshman. ( Which a lot people of hate being because you are on the lowest possible step of the ladder of high school, and no one really pays much attention to you.) There may be a lot of bad things about being a sophomore but wh en you take a look back on the year you will find that the good things will out weigh the bad every time. Carrie Persinger added "I think that is great that I'm not a freshman any longer, and the sophomore year doesn't last forever, and my senior year is just around the corner."

Sophomores I 121 Freshmen Take First Steps Toward The Top Being a freshmen isn't an easy task. You're right in the middle; too old to play with the junior high but not old enough to date or drive. Although becoming a freshmen provides lots of new opportunities like dances and pep assemblies, trying out for high school sports and cheerleading , it also supplies n.ew challenges and responsibilities. Even though it's a big step up in day-to-day school life, there is not much of a visible change. With moving up there are always unanswered questions. Will I get dates for the dances? Can I keep up with the work? Will the upperclassmen pick on me? Most freshmen find the answers to be a relief. Freshmen Christy Hunter says "I don't really mind being a Freshmen , but I am excited to get my drivers license." Jay Killion has a different view "I'm excited to move up because I can't wait to be a senior." Whether or not you're excited to be a high school freshmen, it happens to everyone.

Mr. Gill shows his excitement at having his picture taken. As is the case every year at S.A., many changes take place; this includes the administration and staff. Al· though many of the teachers and coaches that leave are missed, it seems the new ones always seem to bring in different concepts of teaching , excellent coaching abilities, and lasting friendships. "Due to the size of the school, there's a lot more closeness," stated Mr. Shorey. In the 1987-1988 school year, we saw six new people join the teaching staff. We saw a new counselor, a new head girl's basketball coach (who happened to be an alumni of S.A.) , a first year teacher to head up the journalism department, a different junior high coordinator, a new science department head and lastly a new math teacher and NHS coordinator. The administration at S.A. is always involved in activities with the students. The staff became involved in many ways. By dressing for the occasion during Homecoming Week, attending sport functions, helping students with personal problems and teaching both requi red subjects and religious growth, the staff has created their own sensation of caring and teaching. Whether it was Mr. Dolnicek dressing as an old woman during " Old People's Day" or Mr. Lintner being attacked by one of Santa's reindeer, the staff at St. Albert did their best to make learning enjoyable. "There's a certain feeling here at St. Albert that isn 't found in most other schools. The relationships between the students and teachers is one of friend ship and mutual respect," stated Miss Yager.

Administration Comes Closer To Student Body This year at St. Alberts, with the addition of new members in the administration, a new height of cooperation was created between students and administration. Although at times the line between student rowdiness and administrative principle was crossed and minor scrimages occured, the administration always seemed to treat each case with consistency to keep the system fair. The administration at S .A.always seems to be among the busiest. Along with the everyday activ ities of running a school the adminstration was alw ays present at extra curricular activities showing support for sports, academic events, and drama. The increase in cooperation also came from the good communicat ion between the student council and a d - ministrators. More now than ever it seems that students are tr y ing to w in rights for themsel ves through the a d - m i n istra tive process i n s t ead of open critis ism of the a d m i n i strat i on or op en acts of rebellio n. Two new members, Mr. Bragg and Mr. Zahm, joined the S. A. administration. Bragg, the new counselor to students at S.A. has definitly proven his worthiness t h rough h is ha rd work in helping st u d ents with troubles ome sche d u les and much he lp to s eniors int e res ted in colleges and scholar - ships.

Staff Keeps Spark Going Through rain, snow, heat, and fog , St Albert High school has a staff that dedicates its time and patience to making St Albert a better place. Many of the teachers spend extra time before and after school just to help students . What does it mean to be a teacher at a Catholic High School? We took this question to the people who are most apt to be able to answer it, the teachers themselves. Math teacher, Mrs. Wiegman stated, "I like teaching at a school where students can have prayer in class, and school masses . I like being able to express my beliefs and talk to students about moral values ." Junior Tammy Lesline stated that, " Basically the teachers are a big help here with things like homework, but also with being in such a small school it gives you that special edge of getting to have a close relationship with them. It is a good feeling to know that you can come anytime before school or after for help and recieve it with a smile and much understanding." Being a teacher and being responsible for the educational growth and developement of a person is extremely important, and with out the special time and care that these people put in, whether it is before school, after school, or just rooting the team on to a victory, helps to make the difference between a fair education and a excellent education.

The 8:25 bell sounds. It's the first day of school and everyone compares schedules seeing if they have any classes with friends. There are also those students who attempt to juggle their schedule by going to school, participating in school activities, working, and you can't forget the fun. The freshmen are just beginning the long journey over the bridge ofJhe high school years. It is the first year in which they are included in high school activities, and the privileges which accompany their high school status. They experience being distinguished as "freshmen" instead of "ninth graders," participating in high school dances, high school pep rallies and other social occasions. The sophomores take another step on the bridge to the end of high school and are once again included in high school events. One of the most important events to sophomores is being able to design their class ring. This small, but significant act brings the end of the bridge closer to them. Most students are also given the opportunity to take drivers education at Thomas Jefferson or Abraham Lincoln. After passing the class, sophomores qualify to receive their drivers license, but only if they are sixteen. Those who don't get their license, have the chance to receive a school permit which allows them to drive to school events without having parent supervision. As sophomores, many students who are sixteen are eligible to gain work experience. Juniors are almost at the end of the bridge and know what's going on in high school life. Another advantage given to the juniors is the chance to go to prom. Juniors can also take certain tests that get them ready for college preparation. Seniors are taking the last steps down the bridge, just waiting to get out and live in the real world. Seniors are faced with the challenge of applying to colleges and deciding which one to attend, and the stress of not knowing if they were accepted into the college of their choice. Scholarship applications and financial aid forms are readied to make the cost of education lower. Seniors go to their last dances, being sure to make the memories worth waiting for. Then there are the mixed feelings of graduation. Some are sad, w bile others rejoice. Some wonder if they will ever see their friends again, and others can't wait to get away from the rest of the class. Everyone is given the chance to make memories through high school to remember after the long walk across the bridge is completed. Many different friends are made. Moods are changed. No matter what happens, whether it be good or bad, the students here remember the gap they are bridging and always stick together.

"Now Mark, you can't eat all of that. You are in training f or cross country, remember? What would Mr. Shorey say? Besides, we want some too." Spending time with friends becomes difficult during the summer. Somehow these students found the time, however, to make the relationship work. Many adults or teachers may think the most difficult part of being a student, particula rly a St. Albert ·tudent, ends at three o'clock every weekday. This is very seldom true fo r ma ny teenager in our c hool system. Whether it's sacking groceries a t a nearby superma rket, crui ing around Lakeshore Country Club on golf carts, or slaving over a cash register a t one of the many stores in the Mall of the Bluffs, each student has a pa rticula r rea on fo r working during the "best years" of their lives. "l work for the money and to get the experience I need for the future," expla ins sophomore Meg Gronstal who pushes popcorn part-time a t Munchvill e. The need for experience is a very good reason for any teenager who works pa rt-time. As seniors fill out college applications by the dozen, work experience on their record looks very impressive and makes them appear very responsible. "I work for money so I have something to fall back on for whenever I might need it," added junior Mike James. Many students are employed by businesses that find teenagers to be promising customers. Senior Sherry Slobodnik currently works at Michael's clothing store, "I see a lot of cheery faces everyday and the 25 percent discount helps, too." Many St. Albert students volunteer their spare time candy-striping, working for their school, babysitting, or doing other forms of work where the paychecks come from the Junior J e n y i Knud se n warm feeling in their hearts.

I Art, Porn Pon, Religion, Journalism, Cheerleading and all other organizations and activities-Where do they all fit? How do they fit together? Where does one find the answers to these questions? Or are there any answers? Every organization and activity offered at St. Albert has its own individuality and uniqueness which plays a large role in the students' lives.But the question still stands: Where do they fit? They go together to form a potpourri, a mixture of spiritual, emotional and intellectual guidance which will carry on with the students for the rest of their lives. The qualities gained by the participants of certain organizations are ones that will last a life time. These qualities will become part of the students' futures. They will help determine what these people will become and what their goals will be. They will also help set the standards that will later be put to test by the obstacles brought on in every day life. Without these how would one survive in the world today? One of the most important elements of organizations and activities are those who supervise them. These people include the administration, teachers, alumni and sometimes even the students themselves. Being in charge of these ambitious groups of young people requires a lot of time, work and devotion. It also requires certain leadership qualities found only in a distinct group of people. These people take time out of their busy schedules to utilize their virtues of patience, understanding and inhuman devotion. We are lucky enough to say that people like these can be found at St. Albert using these virtues to make a difference. Through the participation of organization and activities, students at St. Albert have acquired an additional aspect to their lives. The skills learned through extracurricular activities will later become the tools that we will live our lives by, in addition they will also become the keys to our successes. Through these skills we will find the strength and courage to meet the challanges of our lives and Bridge the Gap between success and failure, which we will live our lives by, in addition they will also become the keys to our successes.

Staff Increases 11People approach me in the hall and ask if they're going to be in the yearbook and all you can say is r11 try .. 11 The beginning Journalism class had many pressures bestowed upon them as they began their Journalism careers. Positions usually reserved to the advanced students were filled by first year members. Junior Jenyi .Knudsen had the responsibility of being the Index/ Ads Editor, junior Carrie Persinger was the Copy Editor and junior Maureen Fischer was dealt the Newapaper Editor position. "We were dealt big responsibilities early in the year and it made me feel like I was important to the journalism class," said junior Jenyi Knudsen. Journalism is not a particularly easy class and the thirteen students in Journalism found that out early. After given a few brief background notes they were pressured into their first assignments. "At first I didn't know if journalism was for me but after seeing my first story printed I knew I would like journalism," said junior Sheila McGinn . The numbers in the journalism classes are low so the members that are in journalism carry a heavy work load. Everyone wants to be pictured or mentioned in the yearbook and it's often hard to get everyone in . There is a lot of press ure involved in creating a yearbook that satisfies the entire student body."People approach me in the hall and ask if they're going to be in the yearbook and all you can say is I'll try," said junior Adam Jones. Early in the year both the advanced and first year journalism students attended a journalism workshop that was held at St. Albert. Students from three schools attended the all day workshop that was aimed at helping students eliminate mistakes in their work. The workshop also helped to inform students of what was hot and what was not. "The journalism workshop helped give me new ideas and it gave me an idea of what to stay away from when I'm doing my layouts," said junior Mark Shea. "The workshop we attended served as a good introduction into journalism because we were all new and it helped to familarize us with the way things work in journalism," commented junior Andrea Leggio. Students in journalism put a lot of time in working during school but students are also required to attend a worknight once a week. This time gives the students a chance to catch up on work before the deadlines hit. "Worknights are nice in a way because it gives you more than just the one period that you get in school to get your work done. When working in class it seems like you're just starting and the bell already rings," expressed junior Carrie Persi nger. Students in the first yea r journalism class must bridge the ga p between their first yea r in journalism and the next year when they will be the adva nced students. They will use this year to learn the system in hopes of excelling next yea r. "I'm enjoying myself this yea r and think next year will be even better because I will be more fam iliar wi th the process and things wi II run sooth," explained j unior Mike James. Steve Oberdin.

Mike Brisso brainstorms for ideas 0 11 a story for the first issue of the "Accipiter." Advanced Journalism students are from left to right Mike Brisso. Ma tt Fenner, Carrie Persinger, Dan Ryan, and Steve Oberdin. The advanced journalism class entered the year with a smaller than average class having only four returning students and one student entering from the junior class. The four advanced journalism included Steve Oberdin, Chief Editor; Dan Ryan, Sports Editor; Matt Fenner, Photography Editor; Mike Brisso, underclassmen editor; and Carrie Persinger, Body Copy Editor. The small class size brought on a unique situation with both good and bad effects. Being a small class with a close working environment, the class grew to know each other well and how to work and survive together. A few problems did arise, the lack of numbers did bring on heavy work loads in the first part of the year, but after the beginning journ a li s m worked their way into the routine, the work was spread more evenly between both classes. "The sma ll class a tmosphere made it easier to work throug h the hect ic schedule and tough deadlines,'' stated adva nced journalism student Mike Brisso. 1988 was Miss Yager's second yea r in the journalism depa rtment and with it came new ideas and concepts about yea rbooking and journa listi c styles. Innovative ideas in layout designs hoped to bring a fresh effect to the yea rbook giving the eye a workout with pages fu ll of ac tivity. The creation of the memories of high school is the responsibility which r sts on the shoulders of the journalism department and a responsibility that is taken on by a crew of few individuals. "I like the challenge and responsibility that journalism provides" stated Carrie Persinger, " and providing the memories for so many people." Also at St. Albert the responsibility of the newspaper falls onto the shoulders of the same students, while most other schools have separate classes that work on each. Concerning the extra work load Editor Steve Oberdin said, "Its a lot of extra work a nd there is a lot of extra hour that go into it. 1 don't t hink people realize how much time it takes, and we have the pressure of trying to sa tisfy everyone by putting out a quality yearbook." The journalism department Bridges the Gap in man) ays. The gap between teachers and students, between our school and the public, and personally for the many memb rs of the journalism de partment beginning to bridge a gap into the fut u re. The gaps between teachers and students helps to bring new insight into each others views and help people understand more than just their side of an issue. While the public views the school through our publications and the writings of Editor Steve Oberdin in the Nonpariel. All of these factors try and present to the public that while ach group at St. Albert deals with it own problems they all work to bridge the gap to success.

Co-Captian Libby Arnold and junior Megan Ryan take a breather after a vigorous work out at the Iowa State Porn Pon and Cheerleading Camp in Ames. Iowa. Questions rolled t hrough many minds of the St. Albert 1988-89 Porn Pon squad at the start of the new season. But if ever there wa a lesson to be learned on how dedication and hard work can really pay off, then this squad has got a story to tell. All si xteen members showed the gleam in their eyes as the list was finally posted. But after the first routine was learned, they also knew that Porn Pon was not all fun and games. Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday as of June 13, 1988 the sixteen member squad arose from their slumber at the sound of their alarm to trudge up the St Albert hill in prepa ration for a strenuous two hour workout. The squad bega n practice in prepa ration for the fowa State Porn Pon a nd Cheerla d ing Ca mp. A pe rfo rma nce for the parents of a ll members kicked off the trip for these enthusiastic girls. At six o'clock on J uly 3 1 the girls met at St. Albert rarin' to go. They loaded the bus with their fee lings of ne rvousness exc itement, a nd we re on their way. O nce aga in , ha rd work paid off. After three days of l 05 degree heat which made the hard work even more diffi cult, the girls recievcd the fo llowing: The Swee pstakes Trophy for the percentage of blue ribbons for each of the girl's individual routines.(The girls recieved twenty seven out of thirty "Superior" ratings and the other three were rated "Excellent! " ) They also recieved a Superior rating on their home routine which qualified them for The Hom Routine Award and also to perform in the United States National Competition in Dallas Texas. This was the second consectutive year the Porn Pon squad qualified for such an opportunity. On the second day of camp the girls recieved the well desired Spirit Stick, only in hope for the same stick the following day. Well, once again these outgoing girls achieved another of their many goals and recieved the Spirit Stick for the second time on the third day, which gave them th e priveledge wan ted by all the squads a t ca mp ; to t a ke the Spirit S tick home.

Poms/ 23 Students Serve Needy ''/Ill miss you Grace/ and always remember you. II 24/Religion Religion and St. Albert a re synonymous. For years their name has been associated with Christia nity and good morality .They have stood out as an example for the community in the way they carry themselves publicly and priva tly. But 1988-89 brought on something else. Something that will strengthen S.A.'s ties with the Council Bluffs community and show exactly what our school is about. This something happened in the religion department and deals with the introduction of the class Community Services. So what exactly does this class mean to S.A.? Exactly what the name implies. The course takes its students out into the mainstream of the community where they are exposed to the many different factions that make our town unique. This included visiting nursing homes and schools for the mentally handicapped,taking meals to shutins and talking to those who can't get out, performing tasks to help both the community and it's residence. The idea for a class of this type came after the school was eva luated by the North Central Accredidation Association. One of the things which was noticed was the lack of classes offered that would introduce a student to the community. Kris Wiley,teacher of the new class and member of the religion department said that "St. Albert didn 't really offer a ny service classes a nd since t he heart of C hristia ni ty is caring it o nly seemed right. One advantage of the class is in it's diversity. This years class was open to any student interested in the junior a nd senior class. " I took community service beca use I enjoy working with elderly people. They are a lot of fun and you ca n learn from them. They a re wonderful people,if only other people would take the time to get to know them and help them out," sa id senior Sheila Behrendsen. Sheila voiced only one of the ma ny reasons for becoming involved with the class. Others planned to continue with careers in the health a nd medical fields. "I expect to work with people after I graduate from college and I felt it would be a good experience," said Junior Jenni Kruse. The class isn't as easy as it sounds though. When the students work up close with people,as they do,they become friends with them. They become a ttached to these people who they help through their specia l rela tionship. But this relationship isn't permanent. Tragedy can strike at a ny time. Since many of the people that the class deals wi th a re elderly the cha nces of death a re high. Students must be prepa red for the deat h of their friends. This experience of loss was illustrated when se nior Tim Zimmerma n lost his e lde rl y friend Grace.

Religion/25 Teachers Sparl< Student Interest 11/ think it is important to like your teacher in order to learn. 11 Amy Murray From the very first day the doors of Saint Albert opened, Science and Social Studies have been two of the most important elements of a fine Catholic education, and one of the more important elements of a fine education is to have teachers that are well respected and looked upon by the students. Both the Science and Social Studies departments at St. Albert have many such people. The science department consists of two excellent teachers with various experiences in both education and science. Biology teacher Terry Dolnicek has ta ught at S.A. for the past eight years and if it was up to the students would stay around for many more. Advance Biology student, senior Pegg y McGinn sta ted "Mr. Dolnicek is an excellent teacher. He does a great job of using his experiences to teach us.·· The other science teacher in his second yea r at St. Albert is Mr. Steve n S c hn i tk e r .. Schnitker is best liked by the st ud ents fo r his a bility to blend experiments, notes and lectures together into a n interesting fo rma t of lea rnin g . Most of the students look fo rward to Chemistry and Physics class fo r the exciting experiments that await them just inside room 107. "l like the experiments that Mr. Schnitker has us do in class," said freshman Terri Petratis, " they're a break from the everyday lectures and notes." Junior Jenny Rawlings agreed, "I really enjoy the experiments we do in Chemistry class. You seem to learn so much more when you go out and do the work yourself." St. Albert should be proud to have both excellent teachers running its unheralqed science department. The teacher situation in the social studies department is likewise. It too consists of an outstanding group of experienced male educators. The main claim to fame for these men is the way that they work hard to make learning fun. There is seldom a dull moment in any of the social studies cl asses. The department is headed by a group of vetera ns led by history teachers Mike Kavars, Ken Mehsling, John Shorey, and Dick Wettengel. If wha t Junior Amy Murray said was true when she stated, "I think it's importa nt to like your t eac h e r in ord e r t o lea rn ," then the socia l studies students must definitely be learning a lot.

St'l..1dent Government W orl<s Together Some students in our home on the hill may question the purpose of our student council, saying it's just a popularity contest. In a sense it i . The more qualified people, who need to have a sense of leadership, are generally considered more pop ul a r because of their leadership a bilities. Each new school year also mea ns a new freshman class, which means more class officers to be elected. Most of these inexperienced, "green" freshman jump into the student government not knowing what to expect. Freshman class representative Nik ki Ravlin stated, " I didn 't know wha t was going to happen at first, but once we get rolling it should be a lot of fun. " Ravlin must be having a ball by now. The entire student council planned, prepared, and completed yet another successful Homecoming, including a follow-up meeting where each officer filled out a sheet explaining what they thought could be improved for next year. Some improvement has come a long this year. Theresa Fischer, secretary/ treasurer of the student body, noticed "more participation, especially in the freshman . We used to just sit there, but these guys are giving us ideas and rea lly getting into the meetings." Along with the faculty and administration , the student council attempts to create a better scholastic environment for the whole student body, while making necessary and memorable changes in our fine institution.

Student Council/ 29 Art Motivates Students Speech and Communication Arts are organizations that are left in the dark for many students. But the outgoing and talented students that are involved and active in these organizations are achieving many outstanding goals. Speech and Communication Arts are organizations which to many students are virtually unknown. However, creative students are interested and getting involved in this fun-filled, yet challenging organization. Speech class involves many different types of orations, such as radio newscasting, poems, prose, and improv acting. When involved in Speech the students enter severa l Debate Contests.

The orchestra begins to play. Weseeacityskyline.A London bridge can also be seen. Several urchins come dancing down the aisle. It's SHOWTIME!! November 2-6 the drama department gave performances of the popular musical, "Oliver." For the first time, the junior high was included in the major cast, which gave them a spice of acting before their high school years. There were approximately 11 junior high students, and 35 high school students, making the cast and crew rather large consisting of about 45- 50 kids. Mrs Adams stated, when asked how she liked working with large casts, "I love it! The bigger the cast the better!" Auditions were taken at the end of the I 987-88 school year for a spot in the show. During the summer, students practiced and prepared on their own for a specific part in the play. During the second week of school, auditions were taken again for major and minor parts, which were speaking or singing, or both. Anyone who didn't want a part, was allowed to be in chorus and choreography. Junior Paulette Chullino stated, ·•1 liked the way the auditions were held because it gave me a chance to practice over the summer for the part that I wanted." Practice started in the middle of September withlearning songs and dance steps. The set was also being built, and started to take shape of the design that Mrs. Adams developed. By mid October, lines a nd songs were to be memorized. Near the end of the month, some rehearsals consisted of costume check, and run throughs of the actual play, in entirety. Wednesday, November 2, the show opened up for an invited audience. There were six performances of the well worked-on musical. "Oliver" begins in a home for orphaned children. When one small boy, Oliver, asks for some more food, he is declined and runs away. He then makes his way to London. As he wanders around the city, he meets another boy near his age named, Dodger. Dodger brings him to food and lodging, but also leads him to a bad group, which is headed by a man named, Fagin . This group does bad things such as lie, steal, and cheat. When Oliver gets caught being a pickpocket, he has to go to court. The man, Mr. Brownlow whom he tried to steal from, does not like the decision of the magistrate, therefore he took Oliver into his home. Mr Brownlow sends Oliver to run an errand, but while gone. Oliver is once again captured by the bad group. When Nancy tries to help him escape Bill Sykes, another leader of the group, finds her in the act. He then kills Nancy for going against his will. The story of the play ends when Mrs. Brownlow leads Oliver away from the scene. The play took a great amount of hard work, but with determination and selfdiscipline the play was a success.

"I could teach orchestra, but my time is so limited with seventh through twelfth grade vocal and fifth through twelfth grade instrumental," stated Mr. Kippley, adding, "If I had more time I would like to help coach athletics." Band is the most unique of the classes. Students can choose any instrument. to learn. For some students, band begins in fifth grade and they may pursue it throughout high school. There are others, however, who become interested in learning how to play an instrument somewhere in between. "I've been in band for eight years and the nice thing about it is that you can change instruments and learn to play more than just one," stated senior Bob Loukota. Mr. Kippley added that. "It gives the kids a chance to accomplish something and it also gives them added self confidence ." ' Sarah Hobbins added "I enjoy playing at the games and the pep rally more than going out to large groups and playing.·· Choir on the other hand is more structured and gospel oriented. "The only time that anyone at St. Alberts hears us is during mass. During out-of-shoo! activities, such as the All State Music Festival, we sing pop music. We also have the swing choir and the only thing they sing is pop music," stated Kippley. "I think the most enjoyable thing about choir is the out-of-school performances around the city," added junior Carrie Persinger. Tom Smyth added "I like the fact that in choir we pick some of the songs we would like to sing from the pop music groups." Some of the out-of-school activities. which the choir performs at include the All State Music Festival, District Music Contest, local parish performances and the All City Music Festival. Band also is honored by being able to play out-of-school gigs such as Jan Band Festival, Honor Band Festival, performing with the Omaha Symphony, and playing at the games and pep rallie .

II Art Brings Warmth To S.A 11/ hadn1 t had class with Miss McGuire since junior high, so I was looking forward to having her again. There was more to look forward to than I thought. SHE WAS GREAT!" commented junior Jenni Kruse As you enter room 508 you feel a sense of warmth between the students and the teacher. Miss McGuire has a special rapore with her students which makes the class very enjoyable for everyone.' Ms. McGuire has taught me a lot of different ways to use art and different kjnds of art that 1 never knew before. It has also made me more of an outgoing person and it will be something I will remember throughout my life. Miss McGuire and her art class have been a lot of fun," stated junior Michelle Auen. For those who have not participated in the hard work and time-consuming projects, art may not seem to be a difficult class. An example that everyone should be familiar with are the ceiling tiles. The Art UI and Individual Art (Art IV) classes paint and create these tiles. Looking up at the ceiling, there are many different characteristics and personalities of each unique tile. Another fimilar assignment for Art 11, I II, and IV is the ever popular sketchbook. The sketchbook requires one hour per week of extra work and is handed in every two weeks. The range of subjects which can be drawn is up to the student, even though Miss McGuire encourages real objects. "Sketchbooks give me a chance to draw on my own without all the pressure in class," commented junior Andrea Leggio. Jn addition to art, McGuire also teaches Crafts. Crafts is a class open to all students, and teaches them how to cross stich, make rag baskets, macrame, tie die and stain glass. "Crafts is a great class, and I learned a lot from Ms. McGuire. She is great!" replied junior Mike James. The crafts class as well as the art classes will be assisting in decorating a Christmas Tree at the Dodge House and the students paid for and took the items they made for the tree home for personal use. "T like the freedom to do whatever kind of projects I want and that l don't have a deadline to get them done" said Individual Art student, senior Theresa Fischer. Individual Art is the smallest of the four classes it lets the stud en ts work on what they want and to take as much time as needed. This class has little pressure and is helpful in expressing themselves without running out of time. No matter what reason you have for taking an art or crafts class, this is a class that brings the true crea tivity in all of us. Ms. McGuire also helps to inspire you to be at the top of your ability and help you achieve your goals. .Jenyi Knudsen Georgia O'Keeffe was a main emphasis f or the Advanced Art classes.

This year the cheerleaders have done an exceptional job considering the young squad that we have. Remember when you were young and you wanted to be a cheerleader, or you would play with your older sisters pompons? It was all fun and games then. Now you've grown up and if you are not a cheerleader you still think it's all just fun and games, right? Wrong. "I like cheerleading. I like it a lot, but we work very hard. It's not all fun; we work very hard learning new cheers and perfecting old ones," stated Sophomore Varsity Cheerleader Kari Hanafan. Little do people know just how hard being a cheerleader can be. The cheerleaders have practice 38 j First Semester Cheerleaders three times a week, from seven until eight in the morning. They also work very hard on their own time. They work on their moves at home on weekends and also nights after school is out. With all of their extracurricular activities they also have to keep up their academic markoS. The 1988-89 cheerleaders attended the Iowa State Summer Cheerleading Camp. During this week they spent five sweltering summer days out of their vacation time to learn tips on how to be a better cheerleader. They were taught new cheers, how to perform proper jumps, and how to build safe pyramids." Although one might think cheerleading camp is a big joke, it really isn't," stated Senior Co-Captain Michelle Donor. "This year our cheerleading squad has improved greatly, going to summer camp in Ames helped us all a lot. "Cheerleading requires that all involved work together, people who sometimes never would have taken time get to know one another, often turn out to be pretty nice people who you now can be called friends. Everyone has their own thoughts about cheerlcading . For insta nce, Junior Ma rk Shea said, " f am real proud of the cheerleading here, they work hard and represent our school well." However, other students have different opinions. "The cheerleaders work hard and do a good job, but the crowd doesn't seem to respond to them as well as they could,"stated junior John Conzemius. This is the same feeling many people in our school have including the cheerleaders. So next time you put down a cheerleader, stop and think of how hard they work before you do. And always remember that they are doing it for you. Mike James First Semester Cheerleading Squad: From row: M. Donor,D. Edelbrock ,L. Weber, K. Hanafan, S. Klement. and M. McClellan.Middle row: L.

The 1988 Olympics held in Seoul, Korea had something for everyone. There were numerous exciting events that occurred in Seoul, including controversies over the illegal use of steroids which stripped participants of the medals they received. The controversy involving Ben Johnson being stripped of his gold medal for testing positive for use of steroids caused a stir over steroid usage and how wide spread it is. Not only did Johnson lose his medal and the world record he set but two members of the Bulgarian weightlifting team were also disqualified after winning medals, soon after which the whole Bulgarian weightlifting team returned home. To contradict this gloomy picture was Jack.ie Joyner-Kersee in the Heptathalon with a new world record. Another woman in the Olympics with high ambitions was Florence Griffith-Joyner. After shattering the world record in her Olympic trials many wondered if it was possible for her to maintain such an astounding pace. Yet maintain it she did and with her pace who won the gold she had dreamed of for twenty years. Carl Lewis also brought home three medals of his own. The events in this years Olympics were spectacular as ever and met many expectations and surpassed many more. Though some disappointments were obvious through the use of steroids, the Olympics still represent a great tradition in which humans prove that they can meet in competition and peace.

Ratigan 50 / Football Veterans Enthuse The 1988 Falcon Football team entered into an optimistic season this year after qualifying for the state playoffs the previous year and returning fourteen letter winners full of talent. Practices began in the summer with four hour sessions and optional weightlifting. In the heat of the day the Falcons prepa red for what Coa ch Scichilone called "the toughest season in a long time." The Falcons started the season with a veteran backfield. Seniors Trent Holmberg and Brian Ratigan along with junior Jeremy Petry led the Falcons rushing attack. In the lead position at quarterback Brian O'Connor took command, while out front the birds had three offensive linemen from the previous year, seniors Greg O'Grady and Dan Ryan, and junior Chuck Simms. On the defensive unit (a.k.a. "Attack Unit") there was a wealth of Team talent for hitting and an emphasis on intimidation. "Defense is the best part of the game, because you don't just play you have to be the intimidator," said Tony Alfers. In the Falcons front alignment they returned Mike Herbert and Greg O'Grady. New talent was found in Dale Scott and Chuck Simms while the elite backing crew was strong with both Brian Ratigan and Jeremy Petry returning at middle linebackers. The outside linebacker spots were filled by Chris Morton and Tony Alfers. The season started out rough for the Falcons against A.L. with 32-6 loss. The Falcons roared back with an impressive victory over Flanagan defeating them 52-0 and rolled into the tough showdown with Adel-Desoto and stunned the confident Tigers 33- 15 with intensive play. The Falcons won their next three games impressively and put themselves into a good position for the game against Roncalli. Roncalli played an outstanding game and handed the Falcons, which were now hurting because of injuries, a 20-6 loss. The Falcons played a gritty first half which Brian Ratigan described , "With our two goal line stands and the last minute drive for the touchdown, I thought we were in great shape for the second half. Our defense was solid and our offense was beginning to click. " The Falcons came out, put a drive together and scored to lead 12-6, but then allowed the Tigers to come back and win the game by the score of 16- 12. With the season ending on a down note the Falcons still had good memories. "Even though the playoff loss to Griswold was disappointing it was a fun season and very rewa rding." stated Senior Dale Scott. S enior running back Brian Ratigan avoids two Flanagan Chargers. Ratigan was chosen Iowa High School Football Player of the Year hy Gatorade. Ratigan qualified to be considered for Regionals and National recognition.

Both the players and the coaches develop an idea of the abilities and talents of the individual as well as their ability to work together as a team. Playing together at this level gives the players exeperience and forms the team unity which is important and beneficial for moving up to the Varsity level. This year's Freshman team had more players than any other Freshman team in recent St. Albert history. "The team was like a big family. We always stuck together," stated freshman Nick Conzemius. Hopefully, this la rge number of players will promise good J.V. and Varsity teams in the near future. The Freshman finished up the season with 3 wins 4 losses and 1 tie. They even had the opportunity to test themselves against the Missouri Valley Junior Varsity team while the St. Albert Junior Va rsity worked with the Va rsity. "I am very satisfied with our season," said fres hman Rich Swank,"our coaching was excellent and it was reflected in the way we played." The Junior Va rsity team had to end their season short due to the Varsity play-off berth, and so ended their season with a record of 1-4. Their record however, doesn't give justice to the hard work put out by the team. Junior Randy Phelps summed up the season by saying, " We played ha rd, worked together as a team, and kept positive thoughts." The J.V. team proved that size isn't everything. Being an effective ball player doesn't revolve a round being physically big. " We may not have a lot of size at all positions, but I think talent and determination have made up fo r it," stated sophomore Matt Helms. This season was a definite lea rning experience for the J.V. team. Not only were they playing teams on their schedule every week, but they played in fi ve of the eight Va rsity games as well.

However, both loss and gain of several runners for various reasons sent the team looking back on the year with a talented group of fourteen~ runners. The lack of numbers had nothing to do with any lack of talent. Returning from the previous year's sta te qualifying girls team was junior Shell y O ' Brien . O'Brien picked up where gr adu a ted S a int es st a r Jean Sillik left off, capturing individual titles at ever y rr.eet except one a t which she placed a strong second. O'Brien was joined on the team by an impressive trio of runners led by senior Th e re sa Fis he r. Fisher capped off a successful four yea r ca reer by consistently placing in the top twenty every meet. Another of the Saintes top competitors was sophomore Diane Fisher. Fisher ex pr essed he rse lf as a thr ea t to cha ll enge th e leaders at any time and often did so in the big meets. The third member of the Saintes power pack of sta rs was freshman Molly Malone, who shook off a long battle with the Fisher sisters to prove herself as the Saintes number two runner. The combina tion of these girls a nd senior Julie Holder and freshman Tina O'Brien helped boost the Saintes to their fourth consecutive state meet appearance where they placed a respectable seventh place in a strong fi eld of t he state's premier runners. The surprising success of the cross country team came from the boys team.

Saintes The Jun;o, Varnity Volleyball team had to start off the season with basiC fundamentals. Playing with new teammates was an obstacle the JV Volleyball team had to overcome, making teamwork the weak spot. The Saintes started off the season on the wrong foot with a loss to Lewis Central. Even though the JV Volleyball team was small in numbers, they hung in there and came back the next week with a win against Holy Name. " I wasn't that excited about the season when it first started out, but once it got started it was alot of fun," stated sophomore Lori Hughes. The highlight of the season for both the JV and Freshman Volleyball teams wa s winning the Boystown Tournament.The Saintes seemed to play together a nd set it up. They played like they wa nted it, but coming home with the first place plaque proved they did.

This young team, not only won two duos, but also sent one person to sta te . Junior Bob Ma rtin , was the onl y falcon grappler to qualify for state this season. Martin started the season with the attitude of just wanting to reach state, but as the season progressed he wanted to qualify for second round. Knowing that he would have to go up against some tough people, he practiced hard every night putting all of his effo rts into this one event. Martin's record fo r the 88-89 season was 26- 11 , which is exceptiona lly good considering the small size of St. Alberts. This season he lost only eleven duos, three of them were to state qµalifiers, three of them were to people who placed third in state, three more of them were to the person who placed second in the tourney, and one of them were to the state champion. After it was all over Boplaced in the top eight in the tourney, which is excellent for a person who is only a junior and lost to only senior competitors. " I think that going to the tournament was a good experience for me, and I thought it was really fun. Now, if I work just as hard next yea r and return to sta te, I will know what to expect and maybe I will do better," st ate d Bob Mart in.

What lay in the path were twenty regular season games with a ll of those opponents gunning to be the one to beat last yea r's state runner-up and currently undefeated team. "We didn't want to ,.. i-ne into the season to over confident," stated Mike Honaker," but we knew that if we played the way we can that we could go a ll the way." The Falcons kicked off the season with a 65-36 victory over Glenwood which just ha ppened to be a trend for the whole season. The Falcons cruised through their first ten games a lmost effortlessly. The Falcons now entered into the Nebraska Centenial Conference Tournament the favorite to once agai n capture the conference title. The Falcons quickly disposed of their first two opponents and took on Scotus in the Conference Championship, repea ting a n earlier performance in the season by blistering the Shamrocks 77-45. Nate Schnitker lead the cha rge with a game high 24 points. "Winning the third Conference title showed how we worked to dominate the conference" sa id Dale Scott. Bellevue East took the Falcons into one of their closest games of the season where the cagers won in overtime. A home-town rivalry with A. L. didn't turn out to be as tough as expected, as the Lynx were easily downed 75-49. The Falcons, now 17-0 went through the ir next three a pponents like wild fire in a nticipa tion for the up-coming tourna ment play. The Falcons went into the tournament knowing that their spectacular record of 20-0 no longer mattered, "Our main goal was not to look past any team, we knew that they were all very important," stated Brian O'Connor.

Despite this the team continued to improve throughout the season. "We didn't win as many games as we expected to but we improved a lot as a team," said freshman player Pete Thompson. J.V. coach Dick Wettengel said that he felt really confident about the year because of the many returning juniors that would add just the right touch to the season. The J .V. team had many expectations and goals along the way to meet, which they did. One main goal for coach Wettengel was, "My goal was to get that team ready for varsity competition next year." The team, as well as their coach, felt they accomplished this. Coach W etteng el added that he feels "many of the players know their strengths and weaknesses which with a little devotion will shape into a pretty good team."

It was fun running back and forth a nd shooting," expressed sophomore Jeanine Masker. The Junior Varsity Basketball Team is a team with several young members who are getting a head start on their experience in basketball. Due to the shortage of girls who went out for the sport, it was not possible to have a freshman team, therefore many freshman girls experienced high school basketball at a younger age, which in many ways gave them an avantage for the yea rs to come. This experience will a lso prepa re them fo r what is to be expected of them in their future years of basketball. As the season began, many girls were not as experienced as the other team members they had worked with as well as the members tha t they were competing against. However, as the season progressed they adjusted to the swing of thi ngs and became to know wha t was expected of them on the court. " I think we play well as a team beca use we work hard in practice and we go out on the floor as a team a nd want to win as a team," stated So phomore J a cqu e Hughes.

W ith the experience of this season ma ny of the girls a re thankful for camps a nd the encouragement of the high school basketba ll team and they are attempting to encourage the junior high players to stay involved in the sport a nd to keep the girls basetball program as excellent as possible.

During their hours of training through the unpredictable weather, both teams worked hard to achieve their goals. The teams did this with determination, concentration, and pure speed. While the season progressed so did the success of both teams. Many goals were accomplished proving that the hard work paid off. Although small in numbers, the girls team didn't have problems achieving a successful season. The team had undef eatable relays, and winning attitudes that proved there were no losers. Coached· by John Shorey and Terry Dolnicek, the Saintes team qualified eleven of it's members in four relays.

Track/71 v~ ·s\.o\J\ v~ Golf Focuses On Fun When one thinks of golf, tjiey often think of chasing an annoying little ball back and forth on the fairway until they get it in a ·little hole. However, that isn't the case for this years boys and girls golf teams. The main focus was not winning the match, instead it was to go out and have a few laughs, as well as improving your own score. Junior Amy Murray stated, "Coach K. doesn't emphasize the scores of our game, but instead he focuses more on our abilities and our points of improvement. " With the boys and girls golf coaches being very light-hearted, and fun loving, it was very easy for the kids to go out and have a good time. As Mr. Heithoff says, "Only God can make a tree, and most of them he put in front of Petry." Although this year's golf teams did not have great success with their wins, they achieved success in many other ways. The girls improved their own personal golf scores as well as the teams. No matter win or lose the St. Albert golf teams always came out ahead because of their fun loving spirits. "The boys golf team had a rebuilding year because all of last years team graduated except for Chad Ka vars," says Coach Heithoff. Coach often refers to Chad as the returning "star" . The girls golf team got off to a very slow start with a loss to Tee Jay, but came back the next match to beat Tee Jay, however, lost to Abraham Lincoln in a triangular match. " In years before, everyone we golfed with took the game very seriously, but this year all of the girls we golfed with were lots of fun a nd it made it easier to golf the 72/ Golf dreaded 18 holes," stated Junior Kem Kavars. All in all, the 1989 golf season ended in a high note, the boys team had the high light of setting a new team record a t a tournament, and the girls a ll improved their scores at sectionals.

Our task is to harness this talent and build up a team: a sense of working together, being positive and enthusiastic. We are a young team, graduating only six of twenty three. Bender . .. Nutmeg . . . Rainbow .. . Flick ... and Bicycle. To the average person this collection of words is meaningless babble. To a soccer player it could be the importance of winning or losing a game. Like a touchdown is to football each of these words has its own separate meaning and movement on the field of play. For instance, to do the nutmeg is to kick the ball between the opposing players legs to complete a pass to a teammate. These and many other unique maneuvers make soccer one of the newest and most eye-catching sports to come to Saint Alberts. Soccer is not new to Saint Albert. For the past two years our students enjoyed going to the games and watching our sucesses. This, however, was the first yea r for soccer as an officially sanctioned sport. The difference between the two is that students may now receive letters from the school for their participation in the sport. This year's season fo r the boys got off to a slow start. The boys had a new coach and a team of people with varying skills and personalities. This made a few waves whi ch a ffec ted t he sea sons outcome. "When we played like a team we really 74 I Soccer played well " said junior Bob Ma rtin. Few, however,felt like complimenting the season. "This year was kind of experi mental, we learned a lot and looked forward to a great yea r in 1990," sa id Father Bud .

Soccer / 75 Team Reaches Goals As much as athletics have grown through the years at St. Albert High School, we've seen a great increase In the interest in Spring Sports, one of them being Tennis! The 1989 tennis team has shown great improvements from past years by returning members, and the first year additional members turned out to be a great help towards the team. "Every year at the city meet we unsually place fourth out of four teams, but this year we improved and placed second out of four, so that was good for the team," stated senior Susie Eberhard. Improvements were the strong-point of the team. The efforts were led by the leadership of junior Jen Brown and Susie Eberhard. The girls combined to form a smashing doubles team and came within one game of qualifying for state. Jen Brown led the way in the City Meet, taking overall number two singles. Freshman Melissa Schmida added to the team efforts by placing second in her division at the City Meet. Other members who rounded-out the team's success were Michelle Auen, Shelly Nelson, and Erin Taylor. The boys tennis team took on a tough season, yet with the leadership of the junior duo of Corey Schmida and Adam Jones, the team kept their chins high. The youth of the team was also evident with most of the team consisting of juniors and freshman . Six freshman lettered making the futur e of boys tennis look bright. Jen Kruse Bottom row: M.

Falcons Look for Diamond Success The bats were cracking loud on the ball diamond this yea r. Six letterwinners and four starters returned from least yea r's ball team which posted a n impressive 27-10 record last summer. Back from last yea r's squead were a strong nucl eus of seniors led by all-staters Bri a n O'Connor and Brian Ratigan. O'Connor posted a 10-1 record on the mound while hitting .360 at the plate. Ratigan gained fi rst team allstate racking-up a batting average over .400 a nd slugging nine homers. Also back is junior slugger Jeremy Petry who led the team with 10 home runs the previous season. These three, who were selected to the AllCity team next summer will team up with a talented group of both new players and experienced junior varsity stars. Of them are seniors Nate Schnitker and Chad Kavars who return to playing baseball after taking a couple of years off. They were looked on to carry the defensive load as well as seniors Mike Honaker, Dale Scott, and outfielder Steve Oberdin. Underclassmen making important contributions were first baseman Bill Nettles, freshman Dan Allen, and sophomore Matt Noon. Brian O'Connor said of the progress expected from the team, "We'll most likely be considered the underdogs in the city, but come tournament time I think we'll be the team to beat. " M ike Honaker summed up the potential by stating, "I think we're a ll excited for the yea r. If we play to our potentia l we'll have a real good year."

Seniors Contribute To Team Unity The success of the Saintes, according to Coach Loren Lintner, rides on the performance of his six senior leaders. These girls are not only looked on to provide the offensive and defensive power of the team, but to help hold the unity of the team together as well. The reason for this being the great number of young players also looking to contribute to the team. Even though the Saintes return nine letterwinners and eight sta rters an equal number of freshman and first year players help compose the team. The main senior looked upon to carry a large bulk of the Saintes' success was pitcher Laurie Coats. The other seniors looking to provide on and off-the-field leadership were Joann Whetstone, Theresa Fisher, Michelle Nelson, Karla Miller, and Susan Eberhard. The only thing that threatened to stop these girls quest for a state tournament berth was the same thing that hampered them the prior year and that was the tough competition located witin the district. "I think that with the leadership and talent of this year's ball team anything is possible. Even a state tournament berth!" exclaimed Lintner.

They can now participate in the highly spirited pep rallies, high school masses, dances, and high school athletics. Their world has a different meaning. The move up also adds responsibility to the young students. Not only are disciplinary expectations more rigid but the expectations of the teachers a lso increases. Lastly, the freshman have earned the privelege of wearing the high school uniform. The gap which seemed so wide in junior high is beginning to close and the light at the end of the tunnel is visible. Unfortunately, the sophomores a re trapped in the middle of the gap. Of course, there is the excitement of turning sixteen and receiving a license, and they a re no longer at the start of the bridge. But they just don't seem to fit anywhere. No longer a re they the new kids on the block, yet there's still quite a ways before the end of the bridge is reached. However, sophomores have the determination needed to survive. Determination to make it to the end.But watch out! Before you know it, you the class of" 1991 " will be confident seniors ready to experience !if e. As for the juniors they have more responsibilities than they reali ze, but a lso have several advantages. Juniors need to start thinking a bout the future , and what the end of the bridge holds for them. Not only do they organize the junior-senior prom, they also are allowed to attend. The fu n has officially bega n. Not only do juniors have more academic responsibilities, but most of them have to hold down jobs. The working junior must budget his time between school , studying, jobs and a socia l life. As upperclassmen , juniors a lso mu st think beyond high school. Deciding whether to go to college or work or both is a question often asked. Don't worry though , " 1990" is just around the corner and it wi ll be your time to cross the bridge.

Th eir first place finish helped lead the junior class to an all around victory. The Junior class is a class filled with many differnt kinds of people. These students aren't just different on the outside, but they are also very unique on the inside. Even though they all have their own special way of doing things and looking at things, they all seem to stick together despite their differences. It just seems like yesterday the Junior class recieved their eighth grade diplomas, but when you glance towa rds reality; in one quick yea r they will be seniors a nd will be recieving their high school diplomas. Juniors are busy preparing themselves both physically and menta lly for the important groundwork that lies ahead of them. W hen tha t pa rticul a r moment in their lives has arrived they expect to be ready to defea t all new boundries and expand new hori zons. The years have gone fast, but through that quick period of time they have been fi ll ed with lots of joyous memories of their frie nds and the special times spent with those fri ends. The juniors don't have much time before these special friends become occasional friends tha t they happen to run in to on their visits home fo r the holi days. Even though new friend s wi ll be made, a nd old fri endsh ips start to fade away, they will never fo rget the old friends of their highschool years, for the memories will last foreve r.

"A m I turning you on yet?" 82/ Ju niors As old years pass and new years begin, each class builds their own individualistic fr amework for themselves as a unique class advancing together toward a longtime dream of highschool graduation. When we mature throughout highschool, our eyes uncover the physical criticisms that are set to classes. We then realize that each class has it's own importance and a certain capability to allow our school to flourish and grow together. The seniors are a class that we have a fi na l opportunity to get acquai nted with before they disa ppea r from the ha lls into the pages of a n old yea rbook. The freshma n a re an addition to our family, whom are still tryi ng to adjust to the bea t of highschool life. This brings us to the q uestion , where do the juniors sta nd amoung our student body? Over the years the juniors have followed in the footsteps of the seniors, but it is now tha t they seek the reality of their own futur e responsibilities. They have sta rted to prepa re themselves for life after graduation . Many junior students are found lounging in Mr. Bragg's office, discussing possible colleges and ca ree rs to suit their needs. Others can be hea rd screaming in the ha llway at the results of their PSA T scores. Which ever the case may be they a ll feel the oncoming pressures of school collapsing down upon them. Most juniors have very tight schedules a nd very little time in which to make ends meet. There is neverending homework to be done, reports to be typed, jobs to be attended to, and grades to be accomplished. When is there ever time for fun ? You may think that there is no time for escape, but when it comes to having a rea lly good time the junior class of 1990 ca n come through with fl ying colors. They ca n be seen attending va rious extra-curricular activities, eating out at a ll of the latest "hot spots" in town, or j ust spending a quiet evening at home with someone special. The junior class extended their bond toget her as a class, through spending a few free days in retreat refl ecting upon some of their grea test needs of improveJunior Debra Andress shows her smiling f ace to the camara after one of her famous laugh attacks. ment. The retreat gave the students the opportunity to open up their feelings to the class and express personal opinions fluently. Many students fel t it was an extremely moving experience and would like to return again next year. Although the futur e seems fa r off now,juniors are beginning to realize that the time is coming for them to lead the underclassmen of the school, and present their own outsta nding fou ndation fo r an exceptiona l a nd distinguished year tha t lies ahead of them.

For pa rents a re just now rea li zing that a childhood does not last a life time and soon their child will be able to go out a nd live on their own. Ma ny parents ask themselves were has the time gone, it seems like just yesterday when you were entering the first grade. While the feuding goes on between parents a nd students over who is going to make the final decisions, they both know deep down inside that if the path they choose leads them into diffe rrent directions they will miss the experiences of earlier years, but look forward to the new experiences they will be able to share with one another in the fut ure.

You walk in the room with a terrified look on your face, your hands are shaking and your knees are trembling. You blink your eyes. When you open them again you realize that you are actually walking into your first sophomore class of the year. Many students are just as nervous going into their sophomore year as they were starting kinderga rten, and for good reason. Feeling at ease around upperclassmen is a rare emotion for most. You a re no longer considered the oldest as you were in junior hi gh. Once again you find yourself trying to find your own little clique where you can feel comfortable being yourself. This is not as easy as it sounds. People have changed over the summer, including yourself. Friendships during the freshman year are actually going through a trial period, knowing that the relationship is true and strong when it lasts the duration of summer. Fitting into the Junior-Varsity and Varsity teams must also be considered. As freshmen mo st a thletes played on designated " Fres hm en teams. " But no longer, they a re n ow in t he " big league" a nd looking fo r their niche once again. Grades a re another fear. T he sophomore year is sa id to be the ha rdest year academically. T hese students are first pr esented with early college preparati on, academic tests Sophomore Kristie Gross beams after a hot, sweaty day at camp. Like many other sophomores, this was Kristie's first year as a pommer. and tougher courses which cause keeping that perfect 4.0 a litt e ~ more difficult. The sophomore year is usually the time when teenagers get their drivers iicense. This allows them to go out with friends, have a job, and drive to school without their parents playing chauffeur. As you can see, there are many pressures for sophomore to handle. So if you ever see a nervous sophomore on their first day of school, tell them tha t its alright and give them courage they need to mak e it through the day. After that , the year may come easier in spite of the obstacles. Amy Lookabill and Carrie Persinger "Gentlemen ... and Ladies, start your engines please - BANG! And they're off!" Yes, they are now well on their way and out on the roads, they are the Class of 1991. After successfully completing the Driver's Education course, the sophomore are finding themselves behind the wheel - alone. Getting there was not an easy task. Believe it or not, driving a car isn't the same as the "gocarts" at "The Kart Ranch." "It was scary at first but I like it now. It's kind of exciting!" commented student driver, Lori Hughes. In order to obtain a license, the students must pass the course with at least a "B" average in car, class and simulator, thereby avoiding the dreaded "driving test" normally issued by the state. During the first semester of the school year, Driver's Education is held at T.J. and the second semester at A.L. For this is a little difficult but then again so is going to a rival school, in uniform no less, for class. "At first people would give us strange looks and stare a lot but we all stuck together and j ust ignored them," stated newly licensed driver, Lesley Payne. And stuck together they have. Every student is assigned a car instructor and two to three fellow students in which they are required to drive with. In order to do this, an enormous amount of trust and responsibility is placed upon the driver. Not only is their own life at stake but, so are their friends' and other motorists'. Getting into a car with a demented lunatic driver is not a fun idea nor a very smart one. But once the license is obtained, the fu n never ends. No longer are mothers called, buses ridden or rides " bummed" off of friends. The sophomore are now going out without their parents. This is an appealing thought for a ll. One that might even be the initiative to make it through the course and possibly the rest of high school.

Mehsling Parochial Teachers Focus On Caring The teachers at St. Albert, as much as you hate to admit it, do care for you, the student. The staff does not always show it, but they really do. If you are absent, the teacher takes time in class to explain the assignment to you, explains the new assingment to you, helps you by yourself in class, and if all else fails they will take time out of their day to help you after school. Teachers do not always do their job just for the fun they might get out of it, they also do it to teach you something. The demerit system was set up to help them teach you. The teachers in this school are here to teach you obviously, because they sure don't do it for the money. One of the nice things about the teachers in this school is that they seem to care a little more about the student than they do about giving an assignment and saying, "Here it is, have it finished by Friday! Now go sit down and leave me alone." It isn't like that here, if you are absent they help you to do the assignment you missed and then help you with the new assignment. The teachers in this school really care, so next time you feel that they are picking on you and that they don't like you, that is probably not true. Just think of what life would be like if you went to a public school and asked for help, and the teacher said, "I showed you how to do it once, now go back to your desk, get it done and leave me alone!"

For example, Lois Hemmingsen and Marsha Wise, our loyal secretaries, our janitorial staff, cooks, and all of those people who work in the business office. Some people think that secretaries don't do anything important, they just sit around the office answering the telephones. Mrs. Hemmingsen, veteran secretary said, "We do a lot of work, it is never ending." The secretaries in our school are always busy, whether it means talking to parents on the phone or filing papers, they are always busy. The janitorial staff is one of the most dedicated groups in our school system. They are the ones who fix the a ir conditioning, mow the baseball and football fields before the big games, set up the gym or cafeteria every time there is a special event held at our school, and of course, they are the ones that get stuck with most of the clean up after these events. Then we have the cooks, who get here in the morning before the students do, getting ready to serve brea kfast. After th e breakfast crowd they clean up the mess and start the preperations for the menu selection of the day. They serve three lunches, clean tables, trays, and silverware. Then they clean up the rest of the kitchen by washing dishes and putting everything in it's proper place for the next day.

The seniors of the class of 7 989 have now successfully completed the bridging of yet another gap in their lives. The bridge gapped was that of graduating high school. Many more bridges lie ahead in the future but graduating high school is a big step in experiencing life on their own. The next step for the seniors is to decide what new bridges they will create for themselves. Several of the seniors will go on to college, while others will get jobs or try their hand at something else. When graduated, the seniors have many more responsibilities put upon them. II attending college they must discipline themselves to study because once they hit college they are on their own. Many of the seniors started at St. Albert six years ago when they began junior high as a little Falcon or Sainte. The bridge of junior high was gapped lour years ago and this year it was time to gap the big bridge, high school. The world is ready for the class of 1989 to come out and show what they have to offer now that the bridge has been gapped. What lies ahead for the graduates is still unknown so stay tuned.

Are you going to go to college? Are you frantically planning for your college stay? A good way to put an end to all of this last minute planning for school is by college pl anning such as college visits, and speaking with college representatives. " I thought they were a good experience and I was pleased that they each led to a weekend filled with festivities. They provided essential information about the different universities," explained Steve Oberdin. What are we talking about here? College visits, of course. In the course of the senior year, most seniors take trips to colleges, which they are thinking of attending. They visit the school of their choice, usually on a weekend, to view the campus, visit with school advisors, or some seniors even visit classes to get a spice of college academics. "I think everybody should visit the colleges that they are considering to attending. They can learn a lot about the campus classes, and the people that they did not know before," stated senior Rubin Ramirez. Senior Bernadette Gier commented, "Some good aspects of college visits are that it gives you a chance to find out how a college is operated." Representatives from college everywhere come to talk to students about plans for college. "I think it's a good chance to get an overview of the school," said senior Nate Schnitker. Questions are also answered for the seniors who have them about the college that they plan to attend.

Senior / IOI Seniors Cherish Friendships Ten years from now, you'll be reminiscing about old high school memories. The year that will stand out pa rticula ry is your senior year. Why? Because senior year is filled with so ma ny events and decisions that will further influence your life. Taking the ACT and deciding upon a college or making future pla ns are just a few of the rough events you will experience. As a senior, you want to live up your last year as much as possible, but your grades repeatingly remind you not to. There are so ma ny things to squeeze in your busy schedule before graduation day. Saying goodbye to friends a nd rel atives, going on TEC, attending your last high school prom, taking severa l tests that could heavily influence your future a re some of the events you will experi ence. All these times, good or bad, happy or sad, wouldn't be the same without the presence of your classmates and friends. Imagine not having someone to celebrate the championship of state basketball or sharing secrets with. Fri ends are there to lend a helping ha nd and a promise of trust to listen and share with. Classmates are there to enjoy high school together. The classmates you have grown through the yea rs with will be remembered as your fri ends, acqua intances, and family.

We are ' 'cry proud of your accomplishments. You've come a long way in growing into adulthood. We watched you grow from a skinny little freshman into a young man ready to take the next step into life's journey. As you matured we saw you make decisions, some difficult, but never the less you made them. Some of your decisions may not have been too popular, but they were the right ones for you, and because of these decisions you are a better person for it. In this your senior year, you took Advanced Chemistry (an elective) and we thought you should takesomethlng a little easier. Your reply to this was " it won't be easy in college and I want to be as prepared as possible." You've set your goals and we know you will attain them. With God's help and a little effort you can be wha t e\"er you want to be. Now with fond farewell to St. Alberts and your classmates, it's on to Iowa City.

When you took vitamins to your friends at school and the parents called school a bout someone giving "drugs" to their kids? When you were "Foxie Floyd?"

Love Mom and Dad Libby, When we received the information about writing you this letter, I thought about so many different things. For some reason "The Velveteen Rabbit" kept coming to mind. I'm sure that's because you a rc so " real" to us. I thought about the night I read that to you. "Real is a thing that happens when someone loves you for a long. long time ... rea lly loves you, then you become Rea l . . . it doesn't happen all at once ... you become. It takes a long time." Your dad a nd I are very proud of you; you've become so much already! Bob Loukota Your very first day of kindergarten at the Primary School you "forgot" where to get off of Esther's bus, so you rode a ll the way up to "that bi g school on the hill ." we were very afraid for you because we didn't know what had happened to you . and we had friends and relatives looking everywhere for you. Esther finally brought you home safe and sound , to the door, and all ended well. Soon you will be taking your last ride up to " tha t big school on the hill," as a studen t, and once aga in we are fe eling some fear for you, and what the future holds, and we also ec your nervousness about this adult world you are about to enter. We are there for you, son. a lways, and we know that just like that first day. you will arrive sa fely at your destination in life. Love, Mom and Dad Karla (Miller).

NHS QUOTE ''Getting into NHS is a great privelege and something I'm sure will help me in college selections." Brenda Buckley Every spring, excitement and tension mount in the gym as the National Honor Society hold their annual tapping induction ceremony. This year was no exception as the student body gathered to see twenty-four new members inducted into this prestigious nation wide organization. That tension was quickly relieved when the ceremony began and the twenty-four new members were initiated into the society. The students were selected by a committee of teachers based on a submitted resume. They were judged on their display of scholarship, leadership, service, and character both in school and in the community. " I was surprised at how much work and dedication it really took to get into NHS," stated Ms. Deb McGuire, a member of the selection committee, "The real selection is done on the service done for the community," she added. Each of the three eligible classes were well represented. Seniors who were added to the society this year were Theresa Fischer, Gina Gronstal, Todd Klein, Greg McDonaldMcDonald, Gregory, Peggy McGinn, Nate SchnitkerSchnitker, Nathan, and Joann Whetstone. The Juniors lead the way inducting the most members. They were Brenda Buckley, Adam Jones Sheila Konz, Andrea Leggio, Carrie Persinger, Jennifer Rawlings, Megan Ryan , Mark Shea , and Charles Simms. Sophomores were represented by Amy Evers, Kari Hanafan, Matthew Helms, Michelle McClellan, Gregory Miller, Chrystal Nelson, Matthew Noon, and Tina Ryan. The officers for the following year were also selected by the NHS members. Jennifer Brown was elected President, Erin Taylor, Vice-President, Shelly O'Brien, Secretary, and Sheila Konz, Treasurer. With the new inducted members and the spirit and tradition of NHS the 1989-90 season looks to be as promising and productive as this past year's. S enior Karla Miller and brother, sophomore Gregory Miller share a happy moment together following Greg's induction into NHS, marking the third of the Miller family to be selected as an honorable NHS member. Notional Honor Society I 109 - - The dream is now a reality, the Falcons are the 1989 Class 2-A State Champs. On Saturday, March 18, the Falcons rolled to 65-59 victory over the Little Dutch from Pella in the title game to capture the first Boys State Basketball Championship since 1975. The Falcons began district play with a sound thrashing of Red Oak 92-57. S·enior Nate Schnitker led the assault with a team high 19 ,points and senior Brian Ratigan added 12 points. The Falcons' next victim, Clarinda, was over-powered as Ratigan stuffed the Cardinals for an 18 point game high. The defense played stingily as the Birds chalked up another win 78-33. The district final proved to be more of a challenge but in the end the Falcons out-battled Creston 62-46. Seniors Trent Holmberg and Schnitker each tossed in 16 points to pace the Falcons. The Falcons were slated to play Atlantic in the sub-state final. It was gutcheck time as the Trojans held tough but the Birds prevailed 65-61. S chnitker payed the way with 19 points and Ratigan and Holmberg popped in 16 an 14 points respectively. The big show was next as the Falcons traveled to Des M oines for the State Tournament. The Falcons started off with an awesome display of offense, tearing apart Independence 102-68. The five starters all scored in double figures led by Schnitker's game high 29 points. Ratigan added 19, Chad Kavars, 16, Brian O'Connor, 12 and Holmberg, 10, to lead the Falcons. In the second round game against Hull-Western Christian, the teams traded leads frequently. The Birds found themselves down by 5 points with just a minute left. They cut the lead to one, but a free-throw upped the lead to two for Hull with just nine seconds lef t. The Falcons called time-out with five ticks remaining. The pass came inbounds and was swung to the middle to Kavars, who with just one second left, threw up afading away three-point shot. The ball ripped through the net as the buzzer sounded and the official signaled the basket good. Total bedlam struck Vets Auditorium as thousands of ecstatic Falcon fans went crazy. People lost all sanity when the shot went in and it took several minutes to clear the Fans who had just witnessed one of the greatest games in Falcon history. "It was a relief to get back to the title game because it was on all of our minds since last year's loss in thefinals," stated senior Dale Scott. The biggest game was past and the Falcons could concentrate on the sleeper team, Pella. In the title game the Birds started out slow but exploded in the second quarter to take the half-time lead. Pella hung tough and fought back from double-digit deficits to cut the lead to two late in the game. The Falcons prevailed 65-59 with the help of Schnitker's 29 points, Holmberg and Ratigan, S'cored JO points each. "We have always wanted the state title and our dram finally came true," stated O'Connor.

I was lonely, but now, I don't know how I feel. I met you and you filled my heart with wonder, Now my loneliness is gone; But I'm broken in the way no one can be broken. So I've got you and you have me, we're not lonely, But I'm going insane, you've broken a dream and a mind; So to keep my sanity, I say good-bye. As I walk, I wonder, am I sane at all? I walk along lonely, one step at a time Back to the beginning, loneliness. Don Keller Navy Recruiting Command Navy Recruiting Station I 04 Centre Point Mall 300 West Broadway Donald R. Keller OS1.

Amy Lookabill -~~~------- BIG 6 II When the Journalism Department sat down to discuss and decide on a theme for the 1989-90 yearbook, we wanted it to be unique. In the past, the yearbooks have had more of a serious theme. This year we wanted a modern, up-beat yearbook that would tie with the school, the students and still have a journalistic . view. With this in mind, we put our thinking caps on and had a hay-day of a brainstorm. We went through lists and lists of song, movie and sitcom titles. After days 1 of thought and deliberation, we finally ~ narrowed it down to uThe BIG Picture." It met every requirement we had made as a class. It tied in with Saint Albert as a school. We may be small in size, but we have large amount of spirit and closeness. The students can also associate with it because of it's up-to-date theme and personal viewpoints. What more could you ask J or? Amy Lookabill Homecoming Week is always full of fun and excitement for both teachers and students.

Whether students were dressed as their favorite superhero or a terrifying monster, they were full of spirit and ready for the week's festivities. It all began on a rainy Thursday night, September 23. There was a twist to this year's pep rally as it was held inside the old gym instead of the football field which added warmth and closeness to the heart of the night. The rally ended when Megan Ryan and Tony Alf ers were selected royalty. "I was very surprised and honored being selected king," stated Tony Alters, "just being on court was more of a priviledge for me than a competition." Friday night brought more excitement for the spirited Falcons as they crushed Boystown, 33- 20. Even though the temperatures were in the thirties, many devoted fans showed their spirit 1989 Court: A. by attending the game, some wrapped in blankets and some in sweatshirts.

Although relaxing is one of the main goals of the students they still find time to attend school functions, date, go out with friends and attend parties. In recent years, you find most students going out with a group of friends rather than dating. But for some students such as Amy Lookabill and Jim Romano maintaining a relationship is a high priori among their high school activities. As Amy es, "At first you just have the attitude, if it I 1t lasts, if not I will live." Junior Jim Roman so adds, "In high school the desire for a r 1onsh'p i great the support and encoura e t of each others' activities is also of po ta ce to me.

Trent Hemmingsen and Lori Fox share a laugh while sharing a Saturday evening with friends. Spending time together on weekends is often as important as spending time together during school. students learn responsibility while earning During the course of high school, people run in to different situations in which they must make important decisions. One of these important decisions, which is sometimes made by the parent and not the student, is whether or not to get a job. When freshman Steve Belt was asked why he got a job at such a young age, he commented, "When I have a job it makes me feel like I'm on my own. The fact that I don't have to rely on may parents anymore for money, makes me feel mature. I think I have grown to be more responsible." Whether or not one has a job during high school can tell a lot about a person. For instance, how responsible they really can be. Some of the students at Saint Albert have experienced tremendous pressures while trying to maintain a job as well as keeping thier grades up. And to top it all off, we all have friends who really don't appreciate being ignored! But most of us learn to understand now what the necessities of life are, and having a job to prepare ourselves fa the real world waiting for us out there is one o e necessities on the lists of some student . ennifer Kruse Kem Kavars stays diligently busy aJ Drug Town while working on Halloween night.

"Most people do not realize the things that the cheerleaders do "behind the scenes." Up at dawn, the cheerleaders are ready to practice as they prepare for the day's festivities. Whether it is a game or a pep rally, the girls keep the students pumped with spirit. "I think the s:heerleaders this year care more and have a desire to have Varsity cheerleders: Anne Holder.

Feelings of anxiety and anticipation somehow work their way into the pommers' thoughts. Questions such as "What if I biff?" " What if I forget where I'm supposed to go?" " What if I forget my counts?" somehow enter into the pommers' minds. Yet somehow they've always managed to calm down and get pumped-up for their performance. Getting excited is the easy part as second year member Chali Inserra joins the squad together in the chant "energy and excitement are in us ... " Then the squad joins together in a prayer. Unlike other activities there are no "stars" on the porn pon squad. The main emphasis on the squad is unity, as they work towards a common goal. The importance of unity was best described by Marsha Heenan, "We need to work together so we can make the performance it's best, and squad unity needs to be at its peak. '' There are many reasons why squad unity is so important. The closer a squad becomes, the easier it is to reach their goals. Megan Ryan commented, "I think if a squad is close it will help them perform better." This years squad will always be remembered for all the hard work that they put forth.

Mrs. Jacky Adams, a three year veteran as drama advisor retired last year after many years of teaching. This year, consequently, brought new faces, ideas, and varying personalities. The new drama instructor is Ms. Jill Timmer. Ms. Timmer not only brought her own new ideas to S.A. but she was also able to entice new students to audition for this year's production. The musical itself was also a first for the drama department. "The Wizard of Oz" had never been performed on the S.A. stage. "I chose to do 'The Wizard of Oz' because as a movie most people are familiar and can identify with it," stated Timmer. She also commented that the strong interest that it generates helped to fulfill one of her goals of a " . .. large, versatile cast." The changes were felt by both old and new drama members. "Learning the basics from one instructor, and then expanding my experience with another was hard at first, but now it's easier," stated junior Warren Bertsch, two year veteran and Lion in this -year's production. Prayer was another change brought in by Timmer. "The cast praying as a whole has brought us closer and showed me the real person behind some of the oider cast members, 11 expressed sophomore Andrea Versaci, munchkin and stage crew member. Another change in the Drama Department was the large amount of new people involved. Newly "discovered" senior actress, Erin Taylor, responded, " My friend, Shiela, talked me into trying out because I was looking to try something new as a senior. My part as an Ozian is great because I get to act without too much pressure." The Tinman a.k.a. John Conzemius quivers over the thought of killing the Wicked Witch while his friends Dorothy. Scarecrow. and Lion share in his fright. Although a manifold changes have occurred many people are ready for still more. " I'd LOVE to see more i-gh school students get involved, because the more students that get involved the more respect and admiration we get from other students regarding all the work we put into every produc- 1 tion,'' exclaimed freshman Stacy Mcintosh, who played the lead role of Dorothy. The play was exciting, and when asked to describe the musical in as few words as possible, the overwhelming responses included, ' ' . . . colorful, fun, full of energy, fast-moving, exciting, imaginative, fun for all ages, and a return to childhood years. 11 This musical, with all its newness, enabled the students to give individual and combined performances of a lifetime.

Cha Ii Inse rra gives a s p ecia l fri e nd a hug. Students come to school everyday dreading homework and lectures, but what they don't realize is the important Christian values they're learning. Every year St. Albert has special events that bring out the good Christian values. For example, "Up With People" visited the St. Albert student body on September 15. The organization is a group of people between 17-24 who travel and teach others about life around the world. Senior Sheila Konz signed up to travel with Up With People in the future. "I signed up because I want to experience new and different cultures. I want to meet people and travel with them,'' commented Sheila. Although there are no specific requirements, the association has a certain amount of people and even has applicants on a waiting list. Arrangements are made for the members of "Up With People" to stay with families who live in the vicinity. "It was a great experience for me to have one of the 'Uppies' stay with us. We had a girl from Sweden and it was interesting to learn about her life," said senior Jennifer Thompson . Community service is another way students learn Christian values. "I get a kick out of class when one of the students talks about something that happened and they are happy to talk about it,'' said instructor Kris Wiley . The course allows students to leave the school building for two class periods and visit nursing homes, shut-ins, and elementary schools. When senior Julie Smith spoke of her shut-in she added, "Immediately I thought I was going to hate it, but as I got to know the lady I had a great time."

"At a small school its easier to get closer to the people because you're around them so much," said junior Shauna Tedesco. At summers end, it's a friend that makes you look forward to school. Your friends are not only there to make your school life interesting but they're, "very supportive and they make you feel good about being yourself,'' said junior Brenda Rethmeier.

Although the freshman and junior varsity teams were different in numbers and actual victories, both the teams still were equal in team spirit and togetherness. The freshman volleyball team consisted of only six team players, just enough to fill the floor when. the game was to begin. Due to low numbers the girls had to play every game to the very last point. They had no choice to be taken out at a stressful moment, they had to overcome themselves and get back into the game. Alexis Becerra freshman implied ' 'I really enjoyed the season we all got along and had fun, I'm looking forward to next season." When you take a look at the junior varsity volleyball team you see positive aspects. Setter Pam Lookabill states, "We had a lot of team spirit and we all worked well together, at practices everyone was helpful to one another and gave support.' ' The junior varsity team had a mediocre record, but that wasn't the reason for playing the sport. Whether they won or lost didn't have great effect on the girls, they just wanted to have fun. Jacque Hughes adds, " one minute we would make a great play, and the next we would mess up, I suppose we weren't all that consistent, but towards the end of the year we got better, especially at the A .L. tournment when we beat L.

The 1989 football season polished off a winning decade for the Falcons. The season marked a 9th time winning season, making state playoffs for the 5th time and 7th time Conference Champions. Although they encountered many challenges and obs tac I es, the Falcons pulled through with a 5-3 record. The Falcons, however, had larger schools and even bigger players to compete against. "It's the toughest schedule we've played since I've been a coach. There aren't many 2A schools that would play such a difficult schedule," stated Head Coach Marshall Scichilone. The Falcons were lead by a close knit group of seniors who set the tone for the talented underclassmen. The team worked together and proved to be dedicated and hard working. The coaching staff also deserves recognition for their efforts. Senior Matt White stated, "If it wasn't for the coaches, we wouldn't have gotten as for as we did." The Falcons had other several 'extras' . For the first time the team had student managers. These students were dedicated and spent many hours with the team. The cheerleaders and parents also hosted dinners after school to insure healthy meals and travel buses were supplied for away games.

The universal goal of any junior varsity athletic team is to give experience and playing time to young athletes so they will be able to perform well at the varsity level in the future. According to the accomplishments they turned out, that is exactly what the youthful Falcon team attempted and accomplished this season. The Falcons endured the season with a squad consisting of mostly sophomores, but despite the youth, they still compiled a satisfying record of three wins and two losses . They lea ve themselves and their coaches looking forward to a bright and promising future. The freshmen team is left with an equal and maybe e v en greater sense of hope after using speed, quickness, and desire to beat often times bigger opponents. They finished the season with one of the best records in freshmen Falcon history with four wins and two losses. The youn Falcons were never out of any game with a chance to win them all. All purpose player Emiliano Sanchez credited the work of Coach Lintner as a main thrust towards the team's success . " Coach did a great job of showing us the fun times in getting ready for 'big time' football."

In the 1989 season, however, the Falcons evened out the score with the Saintes. Five new members added to the already strong nucleus, including freshmen Corey Stock, Jason Smith and Mike Doner, junior Marc Schnitker, and senior Corey Schmida. With the help of the veteran runners, the Falcons ran their way to what may be called one of their most successful seasons. With two Invitational Championships under their belts, the boy's team ended their season with a bang by placing third at Districts and thirteenth at the State competition in Ames. " The boys team did really good considering the new runners, and they really helped them a lot," stated junior harrier Diane Fischer. The Saintes accomplishments were also numerous with the leadership of senior and MVP, Shelly O'Brien. Placing second, third, and fourth in individual standings at the Cont erence meet and winning four titles overall five Saint es qualified for State competition : O'Brien, Molly Malone, Andrea Versaci, and Carolyn Gorman. The men's team elected two members for co-MVP's: Mark Shea and Adam Jones, two runners who were virtually inseparable throughout their seasons. When asked to reflect on his thoughts of the season, Shea replied with a sigh, "the only thing I regret is that I won't be back next year to watch them progress."

It's that time of year again when Coach Loren Lintner and his wrestling squad engage in the 1989-90 schedule. However, this year was different from year's past. Although this year's team was young and other wrestling teams gave them tough competition, the team achieved many goals. Coach Lintner stated, "because we've taken beatings and they have a year under their belts they'll be able to compete with everybody because they'll be the same age as other wrestling teams. /1 The tough breaks for the team were mostly due to an age factor. A great number of young wrestlers were competing against people with two or three years of experience. According to Lintner, the future stars are the three sophomores who have worked hard since last year, Chad Standard, Jerry Schmitz, and Tim Evers. "They have shown great leadershiQ qualities. Also with the twelve freshmen involved who are working together they'll be tough, /1 added Lintner. As the season drew to an end Senior Bob Martin also ended his high school career as he compiled a winning record. Martin achieved a career high during the 1988-89 season by qualifying and attending State Competition as a junior.

The team had their own unique personality and they play a very good brand of basketball," stated Coach Heithoff. lnspite of all the injuries, the Saintes had a very impressive season. The Saint es first game was against, city rival AL., and fell short by losing, 37-74. Although the Saintes then lost the next two games to Blair, 55-67 and to Heelan, 38-55, the Saintes then went on to a 7 game winning streak, by winning games against such teams as, Duchesne, Roncalli, Bellevue Christian, another city rival T.J.. Cathedral, Roncalli, and Flanagan. The Saintes then lost 4 more games and won six before going into first round districts against A.L. The Saintes came out ready to play a very intense game but came up short by losing to the Lady Lynx by the score of 58-47. As the year ended for the Saintes, they proved to many people that they can achieve their goals by keeping a positive attitude and over coming injuries that may came along the way.

The Big Basket The JV girls basketball season was short but sweet. Due to the injuries, the girls who would have played on JV played on Varsity. But, this gave some of the younger players the chance to play Varsity until the injuried players came back and the JV could begin to play their own games. With only six players on the team and five on the court, it was hard to play a tough game. Often there was only one person to relieve a tired player thus not giving a player enough time to rest. Some players also played a position with little experience which made it even harder on all the players and especially on the coach. One of the teams goals was to work together as a team and accept any challenges that might get in their way. "I feel as a team, we worked well together. We didn't let little things get in our way of playing and we were successful at what we did on the court," said Tina Ryan. The players performance on the court showed that they worked as one, not as individuals, which made the season more enjoyable. With not being able to play the first half of the season, this did not put a damper on their anxiety to play basketball. When the time came for them to play they were ready, no matter what obstacles they encountered. "I think that working with the varsity during practice the first half of the season really helped these kids get ready for their own games. It gave the kids more confidence and you could see this confidence when they were playing out on the court, as a team,'' said Coach Pat Kroll.

Falcon Excitement Capitilized By The BIG DUNK Last year the one word used to describe the boys basketball team was unselfish. This year they could be defined as EXCITING. There was seldom a dull moment when the 1990-91 Falcons took to the floor. They came in with an all new cast of characters after the previous year's undefeated state championship team. Even Coach Dick Wettengel was making his first appearance at the head coaching position after serving eight seasons as the Falcon's assistant. "I was real excited about coaching this team,'' Wettengel said, "I knew they had a lot of talent." The team's excitement was led by Most Valuable Player Jason Klement and his dazzling passes and his extraordinary driving lay-ups through the lane. Klement's excellent court perception helped him lead the team in assists. Mike Genereux led the quiet majority with his aggressive defense and Bryan Holder kept the fans cheering with his patented turn-around, over the head jump-shot . But the fan's favorite was Matt Way. The smooth junior often had the Falcon faithful on their feet Jarrod Konz goes for the mo ney with this trey attempt. with his incredible break away slam dunks. "He kept some of the more boring games exciting with his dunks," incited fan Wayne Johnson. Not only was this year's team exciting to watch, but they earned a respectable record as well. The birds soared through a tough schedule posting a fine record of 16 wins and 7 losses. All of the losses came in close contests to talented basketball teams including state qualifier Red Oak and Nebraska State qualifier Lincoln Pius, and one each to city rivals AL. and T.J. The honor roll of d efeated teams is equally impressive. It consists of Nebraska powerhouses Roncalli and Blair, conference rivals Neumann and Scotus and city rival Lewis Central.

The Big Dunk -E The 1990 junior varsity Falcons were a resilient squad with a extremely confident attitude. Several games were often won in the clinching moments of the fourth quarter, pressuring the team to come up with one extra basket. The Falcons exemplfied their tough spirit against Glenwood winning in triple overtime, 49-47. With a record reflecting the exciting season the team can only have a bright future. The team was built upon youth, with several starters playing with the varsity team also. This experience pushed the young Falcons forward, living up to the Falcon reputation. A new coach was also part of the Falcon recipe, as Rick Wahl encouraged first-class play and "expected the world from you" as a player. This was the first year the freshman team had played together as a team in competitive ball. The team itself was not a completely new line-up of players, most of them has been together since fifth grade. Freshman Bryant Ficek stated, "We've played together for years and those who just started seem to fit in just fine." The team is in no way sh6rf on determination, as Jerome Patten added, "I plan to keep practicing and pushing until I'm good enough to be on Varsity.'' Brendan Ryan shoots for two on a foul shot.

The BIG Swing When consulted with the idea of going out for golf many people ask the question, "Why would anyone want to got out for golf??!!" We'll contrary to" popular belief golf is a real sport. It even takes many hours of vigorous practices to perfect your driving, chipping, and putting skills. One of the reasons for many people's misconception about golf is that they picture golf as a leisurely walk on a nice spring day. Sometimes, however, you do need to take a short pause out of this walk to address the ball. Many people haven't even experienced the aggravation of a "wiff" (you know when you miss the ball, but a clump of dirt flies about 50 yards). For this year's boys and girls golf team, there are many determining factors for their interest in golf. Although, the golf team doesn't always obtain great success, you will always find them out on the course with great determination. Great numbers have never been evident in the girls program. However, for the first time in many years, the St. Albert golf team has come up with a junior varsity team that is well on their way to playing varsity. Numbers for the guys program were no great problem. Coach Heitoff adds by saying, " We had a great number of guys go out for golf this year, however, many were put on the 'rabbit program' ,in hopes of excelling to the varsity level. The St. Albert golf program has been building prestige over the last few years and is well on it's way to becoming a highly reguarded and respected sport among our community.

They practiced hard and, even though it didn't show in their records, played better than in years past. Freshman Molly Morrison stated that what she liked most about soccer was "Coach Richard Klement's ability to make everyone feel a part of the team and enjoy the games played." Her teammate freshman Alexis Becerra said, "a lot of the upperclassmen showed us the ropes and let us just plain enjoy ourselves." On the boys side, Senior Bryan Brabec stated, "It was disappointing season record wise. We played pretty stiff competition and fared very well against them with the difficulties our team had to overcome. All in all it was a fun season and Father Bud was also enjoyable to play for.'' Senior teammate Bob Martin added, "We had the potential to be a contending force in our conference, but we were unable to put things together when we needed to. I am excited to see what the younger players are going to be faring in the next couple of years!" This year wasn't a complete loss for the young Falcons or Saintes, they were winners in other categories such as gaining experience and having fun. They'll be back next year, a year older and wiser.

This particular season includes tennis. The team this year has had a spectacular one. Few people realize the fun in such a competitive sport but there is also a lot of hard work involved. "I think the kids have done a great job. They all worked very hard and I will miss their enthusiasm," stated coach Kathy Beckman. The strong tennis team accomplished many feats this year and are proud of themselves and their teammates. One particular event that stuck in a few heads was the city meet when Jen Brown and Missy Schmida beat Lewis Central 9-7. Smiling Missy Schmida said, "that is the one thing I will never forget because L. C. is always favored to win and we won." But the season wasn't over. The next major accomplishment of the season was sending seniors, Adam Jones and Corey Schmida, to State. Although it was quite a surprise, it was also something that made the tennis players push and strive to be the best thereafter. "This was my first year out for tennis and I thought we probably wouldn't do so hot because tennis isn't considered much at this school, but Adam and Corey had the talent to go all the way and they did. I thought it was a great example for the kinds of goals we should set for next year." Letitia Sanchez Melissa Schmida strikes again with her strong serve and powerful form. Bottom row L to R: E.

Losing many girls was an obstacle hard to overcome, but the new players started out with a bang. This year's members included seventeen young hopefuls, including senior Shari Hughes and junior Kari Hanafan who returned after serious knee injuries during last year's season. Sophomore third baseman Jeanine Masker felt positive about the season, adding "it will be fun and exciting.'' Coach Lintner agreed stating that "a successful season would add in r ,... - the improvement of .the team itself and development of indiviual agility.'' This year's baseball team far from lacks in numbers with over twenty-eight players on the team. Sophomore pitcher Rich Swank felt that "the season's hardest task would be to get by some of the Sioux City teams, but by beating AL. they made a great start."

Both teams ended up on a good note with several state qualifiers. Led by the Coach John Shorey, the girls attended eight meets coming away with many strong finishes and were champions twice.The Saintes qualified eleven girls for state in seven different events. Jenny Rawlings commented, "It's nice to make it there, especially since it's my senior year. It is so great that so many people qualified." Coach Mehsling and the Falcons also attended eight meets, and were the champions of one meet. Four tracksters qualified to run at state in three events. Even though the season didn't get started off like they had hoped, the Saintes and Falcons were proud of their finish. Rawlings said, "This season was the best.

This is a year of finality for seniors. The last of the homecoming festivities during high school, the last year for high school sports, the last high school drama performance, the last school lunch, the last prom, the last time to be called high school students. We all go our separate directions, but no matter where we are, we will always be together in our memories of high school. Remembering The Big Years Twenty years from now, many of you will be looking at this yearbook. Most of you wiU be trying to figure out who exxactly some of your classmates were, and why you can't remember their names. Some of you will be looking at the pictures and wonoering what you were doing when they were taken. The following are memories the class of 1990 have shared together, and hopefully will never forget.

Diversity is apparent throughout the senior class. Each member comes from different areas, surroundings and each lives their own life. This class will be remembered for its individuality and effervescence. Like all classes, it has it's share of wild times, but there is also a lot of good in the class. Marsha Heenan remarked, "There is such a wide variety of personalities yet we are friends with each other, even if we have differences." With all of these aspects to take into consideration, the class of 1990 will most likely remain friends throughout the years.

For you each are the very best. We have walked many days. Through these long and narrow halls, And whether empty or not. Special moments we recall. Although many won't admit it, I know we feel the same, These halls have given us something special. A goal for which to aim. There are those of us, Who started out as friends, And now we feel , That those friendships just end. But I feel that we all, No matter what we think now. Will lose a piece of ourselves, When we take a final bow. For the piece that we a ll will miss. Is the presence of each other, And the little things from each other we get, Will be given to another. Although we're all not the best of friends. Friends we all still are, And so to each of my friends. I wish the best fo r you by far. My wish for each of you, Is really quite plain. I wish for you to reach your dreams, And allow joy and love to remain. When May arrives. And we leave the great S.A .. I will miss each of you. And hope you never lose your way. Our se.nior year. it has been fun. Oh yes, it's been a blast. But I can't help but feeling. It went much too fast. My only regret is this, Which I must now share with you. That we realize how precious. These days have been and how few. And so to the class of 1990. I bid you a final "Good-bye," And hope you get the best of life. For you are the best in my eyes.

Not only was h-_ __, there a new director to work with, but also a completely different style of scripts. This year's spring play was a hilarious comedy entitled, "The Foreigner''. This script fit the personalities of the cast, which included Mark Shea, Sheila Konz, Wayne Johnson, Warren Bertsch, Matt Helms, Meg Gronstal, and John Conzemius. Acting veteran Sheila Konz stated, "I enjoyed doing this production a lot because so many of the cast fit the character that .. 'iey portrayed. It was a blast to watch them all. inis was my first "real" comedy, and with such a caught the Big great cast and director, I couldn't have had a better time." This feeling was shared by the entire cast. When asked what his favorite cliara er throughout his acting career was, Mark Shea stated, "I liked playing the stage manager in "Our Town", but this one was probably my favorite." However, the cast wasn't the only ones who enjoyed the play. Many people, including members of the student body felt this was one of the best productions put on by the Drama department. For days after the production, students were talking about "The Foreigner" and their favorite parts of the play. Amy Lookabill Julie Smith ..

Going to college is a decision that effects your future in the world. There are many different ways in choosing a college that suits your career plans. Family and friends are a good source of informaton. Sometimes staying with a relative or friend at college can give you a better picture of what your life will be like away at school. "I have a sister that attends U.N.L., who l'ved stayed with. It helped my decision on going there," stated Mike Genereux. First impressions of schools are what effects you the most. "I liked the campus and the area of town, it was very pretty, and clean. I also saw the good education system of the school," stated Shari Hughes Part of growing up is going away to college. Out on your own, there are many activites at college to keep you busy, inumerable sports, frats, sororities, and clubs. "I want to get a full feel of college before I commit myself. I'd like to see what I'm up against first." stated Julie Smith. College takes a lot of thought. Making that decision relieves the pressures of choosing and being excepted.

As freshman making y our rr BIG ST ART," you experience many dramatic changes in all aspects of your life .. Most importantly is the change from lowly j unior high to a member of the high school crowd. Though not completely changing social environments, sophomores also experience many exciting changes which increase the distance crossed as you take the u BIG STEP. " The first step most experienced is the often frightening step behind the wheel of a car. Finally, the junior year is said to be the toughest. Juniors often experience the u BIG WAIT" for the weekends which are the best relief for the u BIG WEIGHT" of balancing the work during the school week.

Juniors find themselves in the big "WEIGHT" As a junior, one looks forward to and waits for their final year of high school. In actuality, junior year is a preparation year for the final year. There are many things to look forward to as seniors. Not having to sell candybars for Prom, college representatives coming to St. Albert and TEC. Yet, there are things required by juniors that aren't required by seniors.Prom is a perfect example. Juniors sponsor Prom for the seniors. A requirement to go to Prom is to sell one case of candybars or in other words two boxes of forty-eight. If this requirement is not met, one cannot go to Prom or attend senior ring mass the following year. So, many juniors are looking forward to when they are seniors so selling candybars is no longer a requirement. "I'll be relieved next year that I won't have to sell candybars because it is very time consuming,'' junior Amy Evers stated. As a junior, one must think about the future. Junior year is the year to think about whether or not college is the next step after graduation. St. Albert help juniors and seniors with this problem by having college representatives come to S.A. and talk to the kids who are interested in attending college. "The reps were very helpful. Through them they made me realize all the choices I had," junior Nicole Gronstal stated. People also look forward to TEC and how fun it will be. As junior, Melanie Wasinger stated, "I think it'll be fun meeting new people and getting to know them. " Robi Thomas, Pam Lookabill and Michelle Walter Doug Fischer and Marc Schnitker look and listen intently to the college rep from Loyola University. - Matthew Noon and Jason Nielsen share a laugh at a football dinner before a game.

" Matthew Way Juniors attempt to balance the scales • zn • • • the big WEIGHT As a junior, students take more responsibilities than were used to as an underclassman. Whether it's getting your homework in or getting to work on time, it all depends upon budgeting time. Juniors must balance many activities that could interfere with the limited time given. Balancing time between schoolwork and jobs, not to mention extra activities, is of great importance during the junior year. There are many things expected of juniors, to get good grades and sometimes get a job. Junior year is said to be the hardest year of high school and it's important to get good grades. Junior Mat Van Scoy stated, "my parents don't expect me to get on the honor roll but they do expect me to pass all my classes." Many juniors get jobs due to lack of allowance as they approach their late teens. As junior Brett Moffatt, stated, "I got a job because I needed the money, and it gave me something to do." Participating in extra-curricular activities is also an important aspect in the life of a junior. Whether it's on the field, on the court, or on the stage, time still must be balanced. According to junior Stephanie Klement, "it's difficult to stay up late doing homework and then get up early the next day and go to school. It's very tiring." It's difficult to balance everything but as a junior it must be done. Besides, if it hasn't been learned all ready, balancing weights of a tough schedule with waiting for the last year of high school is only the first step in a life-long scale.

You are no longer treated like a child and you are expected to live up to the responsibilities of not only your peers, but your parents as well. "I feel more independent because people don't look down on me as much,' ' stated Kelly O'connor. It is evident to others the drastic changes which take place between your freshman and sophomore year. Experiences come about, sweet sixteen, the drivers license, and yes the big kiss. Kissing is a big step in a sophomores priorities (kissing up that is). Being a sophomore is a big challenge as you worry if the upperclassmen will like you. Starting a whole new life as you open up to a world with new opportunities with your older classmates. "I feel a lot more comfortable --------------------------------- with upperclassmen this year than I did last year. I feel that they have more respect for me," stated Anne Holder. Not only is this a time to get to know the upperclassmen, but also your own class. "I think our class is really close, we have all matured so much in the past year" added Nick Conzemius.

Sophomores prepare themselves for • • • the big STEP As you enter your sophomore year many things change in comparison to when you were a freshman. Your activities, attitudes and responsibilities change drastically. Since most students turn sixteen while they are sophomores, you can find them going more and more places without the company of their parents. No longer are they continually asking for a ride to the movies or to a friends house from their parents. Instead they grab the keys, hop into the car and drive themselves to their destination. Driving, however, is not the only privilege gained during the sophomore year. Most students are allowed to date on a regular basis. Some can even be found working at the local grocery store or even the mall to earn their own spending money. It's also not uncommon to find sophomores participating in varsity sports. But let's face it, the real advantage to becoming a sophomore is that you are no longer a freshman. As you take "The Step" from your freshman to sophomore year, you increase your responsibilty and maturity. Your parents no longer look at you as a child, but treat you as a responsible adult. Janna Hicks agreed with this statment and added, "My mom allows me to make my own decisions, which probably has made me more mature." Not only are many privileges gained during they sophomore year, but a greater undserstanding of yourself and what you want to do with your future is acquired.

You have put in your time in the primary and elementary schools and spent two years in junior high being the "little guys on the hill," but not anymore. Now is the time to reap the rewards of your hard work or suffer the consequences for the lack of it. This is the time that the young junior high students become a new addition to the Saint Albert mainstream family, the new freshmen <;lass. This major step in your life brings many different feelings such as the thrill and enthusiasm of more luxurious atmosphere, but also the fear and nervousness of increased responsibility. Parents tell you it's time to bring your academic performance to the peak of your potential and coaches want you to start working yourself harder for yourself and the teams benefit. You then realize that being older isn't neccessarily easier. This is also a trial period to test your patience while you wait and hope to be accepted by the older students in sports, arts and the mixed classes of all high school grades. For the students in arts you try your hardest to show your prowess on stage, in band or in art class. Now that your freshmen you have the opportunity to audition for the spring and fall plays.

Just what is a Freshman? Websters Third New International Dictionary lists freshman as: "1. one having as yet <:)nly the rudiments of knowledge especially in a particular field or occupation, a. a ,student in his/her first year in a secondary school." There's more to being a freshman than that. Not yet old enough for Prom, but too old for the junior high, this leaves them with the new semi-formal Snowball. Jenny Christensen added "I was excited about the switch because I got to go shopping!" Other advantages of being a "frosh" are first year elections for class officers, pep rallies, and extracurricular activities like going to the football games and the traditional trip through the cemetary to the Pizza Hut after the game. Then with your new Mike Pattee glances aside to help a classmate.

The freshman seem to fit in with the upperclassmen. New student Kyle Evans stated "I thought that everyone was friendly and helpful." They get along good with the older kids and look up to them as role models. Matthew Smith also added "I loo!< up to Bryan Brabec because he is a leader." The unity of the freshman class is strong and will most likely stay with them. Coach Heithoff stated "these kids are really a neat group, they accept one another well, and have a lot of spirit." All in all the freshman class is close, they are a family. The freshman have an "Innocence of Outlook" and always will.

These people make up a part of the St. Albert family which we call the volunteers. Every day throughout the year you see many different people in the office, either working the copy machine, stuffing envelopes with monthly handouts, or just helping out. Jeanne Patten, Dr. Avise's secretary, stated, "the school could not run without the support of volunteers. They are deeply appreciated." There are many people who give their time to help, that are behind the scenes and don't need praise for a job well done. There are many reasons to become a volunteer at St. Albert. Jean Lee said, "If eel closer to my children's teachers." Another reason that many become involved is because they know that people are needed, and they feel that they can fulfill that need. Becoming a volunteer is very easy. Barbara Walter said, "I signed up for it at registration," while Sherry Hobbins stated that she was asked by an office worker to help out. Volunteers make up a very important part of running St. Albert and deserve credit for the things that they accomplish. They are hard workers and are highly appreciated by students and faculty.

Sure, that may be something peo pie don't like to think about when it comes to returning to school after a nice long vacation, but when you think about it St. Albert wouldn't be the same without them.

A/though some students · don't notice the small j av ors, the authority Ji gures are usually recognized /or special tasks.

II Discipline only part of being ... The Big Cheese One of the most important pieces of Saint Albert's smooth functioning machinery is the performance of its administration, made up of principal Dr. A vise, vice principal Tony Jaworski, athletics director Mike Kavars, counselor Dean Bragg, junior high coordinator Marilyn Wandersee and Msgr. Robert Chamberlain. Although they play a vital role in the succes of St. Albert, they are often regarded as enemies to the students because the responsibility of discipline which falls on their shoulders. None of the students enjoy being disciplined but deep down they realize that however unpleasent, it is necessary. Junior Roger Wilson said "it's wrong that they are regarded as our enemies, but it shows how much they care about our school. Anyone who can take that and still do their job deserves a lot of credit." It is very important to realize these unsung heroes of any school system . That doesn't mean that you have to fall all over yourself going to extremes in your gratitude toward them, but just a friendlY' "hello" in the hall or even listening to what they have to say can mean a lot to these people. Another positie aspect of the administration are the functions which they approve, such as the dating game and our annual magazine sales. Instead of focusing on the necessary aspects of the administration such as dicipline, punishments, demerits, detentions and so on, we should try to look past the not-so-pleasent duties and pay more attention to the fact that these jobs are vital and without them our school would have no order or direction.

Ca ro li ne Ms. Wiley and Mr. Bragg take time out to show that friendships go along with working at St. Albert. Several faculty members show the importance of working well together and being friends in the St. Albert family . Faculty closeness composes The Big Apple "We are all pointed in the same direction to influence kids and make a difference in their lives," stated Mr. Wettengel. In recent years the closeness of faculty members at Saint Albert has increased. Teachers are now spending more time with each other, both in and out of school. Teachers not only spend their planning periods together, they also attend other school events such as sports and drama presentations. A new member of the St. Albert faculty, Miss Timmer, feels that the environment of teaching in a Catholic school affects the relationship with other teachers. "We share a common Christian belief and a concern for the students and each other," stated Timmer. Coaches also have close friendships. The coaches talk about their games, practices, and their different strategies. Mr. Wettengel's favorite part of S.A. is the bonds between coaches and students. He added, "the close relationships with coaches is the best part.'' Carrie Persinger Faculty members often value the opinions of others while working on school projects. New secretary , Jeanne Pa tten . tries to stiffen a smile during work hours. Dr. Avise and Marcia Wise find learning a new computer system difficult. The local regimen of cooking is hard work. as the kitchen staff and Marcia Wise take a rest. Jeanne Patten arrives early every morning to take phone calls from parents. list absent students and direct substitutes. Both Jeanne and Marcia find working together sta' ff runs school can be more beneficial on difficult projects. } } smoothly, offering ... the Big Help Do you know who arrives at school earlier than almost every student and teacher? The Saint Albert Staff, that's who. That's right. By the time you arrive at 8:00 a.m., the cooks have breakfast waiting and ready for you to thoroughly enjoy, the janitors have all the fixtures working and the floor polished to a gleaming shine, and the secretaries all ready know the answers to any question that comes up during the day. This vital group of people are all too often overlooked, even though they are extremely instrumental in the everyday operation of our school. Nearly everyday the cooks are to school and working by the hour of 6:30, which is even before most morning practices (which start about 7:00). After first hour, the "S.A. Chefs" begin their mad dash to have a hot scrumpious lunch ready for the hunQrY students that have first lunch at 11 :00. After more than an hour of serving the work is far from over. In fact, these dedicated ladies usually stay until about 2:30 making sure everything has been cleaned up and making sure things are ready for the next day. t\~e BIG BUCKS As you know, the success of St. Albert High School is due to the support of the peo pie associated with the school. One of the aspects accomplished year after year is the Yearbook. The title of the yearbook this year is "The Big Picture." With that in mind, take a look at "The Big Picture" of a yearbook in the making. Every year the Journalism Department orders 200 yearbooks. Those books cost around $10,000 to be produced. The school sells the books for $20-$25 a piece. The figures show that we don't make enough money by selling the books alone. Most of the money comes from our advertisers, patrons, and fundraising. This year we recived over $1,000 from our advertisers. We also received nearly $300 in donations from our patrons, and every year the Journalism Department is awarded $4,960 of school sponsored money. We also earned ov~ $2,000 in fund raising. If it weren't for the public, patrons and all others, we wouldn't survive. So a big ''Thanks" goes out to all who've supported us. The 1989-1990 Journalism Department and Yearbook Staff hopes you enjoyed the yearbook!

Very few really ever achieve this goal. yet at Saint Albert five ports made their mark in history. Boys and Girls Cross Country. Girls Track. Boys Track. and Boys Tennis all found making the State competition a reality by the end of their season. The Cross Country teams made running their forte in every aspect. beating the odds to propel the teams to a seventh and thirteenth place finish . Veterans such as Shelly O'Brien and Mark Shea aided the teams with their strong fi nishes. Both boys and girls track teams performed strong throughout the season to make a well-earned trip to Des Moines. The girls team qualified in seven events and fi nished in the top five in all but one event. With only three seniors on the team, the girls are sure to make a return trip next season. Although the boys did not find Lady Luck to be on their side at State they qualified in four events. Seniors Ada m Jon es a nd Corey Schmida both fo und that paying their dues sometimes pays off as both men made their first trip to the State Tennis meet. Although the boys lost their first match aga inst Knoxville and their third against Audubon, they did enjoy a victory against Red Oak. Jim Romano and fellow teammate Tony Alfers work together as one to make the trip to Des Moines worthwhile. Diane Fischer concentrates while awaiting the start of her race at State Cross Country. Jacque Hughes leads the pack with a halfstride at the State Girls Track in Des Moines. Molly Malone runs a steady pace for the cross country state meet. State qualifiers and doubles partners Corey Schmida and Adam Jones warm-up before a match. Stephanie Klement shows good form for the shuttle hurdle relays. Track members Terri Petra tis.

lonely, lost teens on a stage at the same time, each telling the story of their lives filled with dispair. These 17 teens were all Saint Albert students engaging in an expereince titled, "Runaways". The one-act presented many firsts for S.A. dramatics. The cast was invitea to Superstate after receiving one's and a Superior at State. The play also was a first for new drama instructor Jill Timmer. Freshman Becky Michels , Iggy, felt that the success of "Runaways" could be attributed to ''good directing, talent, and the timeliness of the subject." Not only did the one-act experience success but also the Speech team. Four members qualified for Superstate in the following categories: humorous acting, prose, dramatci acting and extemporaneous acting. Warren Bertsch, Carolyn Gorman, Sheila Konz, and Tina O'Brien competed against excellent competition. Meg Gronstal signs "Blowin' In The Wind" in "Runaways''. Meg was tutored by Janna Hicks.

These varied from the wide-eyed craziness of Jason Wanning to the quiet respect shown by Jay Killion and Kari Hanafan at the Senior Ring Mass.

There hove been teachers in the system since day one, graduates from St. Albert that presently teach, and Liberty Rocho collecting tickets for the sports.

Fashion, on the other hand is more the style of dress, or etiquette, so from fads to fashion the difference is clear, fashion comes out on dress-up days or fun outings with friends, and fads ore shown at oil times, school, athletics, and even on o Standout Shawn Shea, portrayed the latest in neon casual wear, seen mostly on males wanting to emit a "macho image."

As for example, o wild pair of eorings could show that o person wos very confident in themselves. For easy occe5s to accessories, remember, ''The moll hos it oil" stated Jenny Mc Ginn. As there ore so many stores for the girls to get their accessories, there ore also o lot more "girfy" fashions, Such os the suede boots, which you wouldn't see boys wearing. Fashions come from both East and West coasts ond then moved inward towards the heartland. ' 'Fashion is something that makes you feel more secure about yourself", expressed Nikki Rav/in. Who sets these trendy fashions? ''High society people", stated Anne Holder. There is no telling what will be popular tomorrow or in o month, but what con be determined is that Fads and Fashion make o person. Making a personality statement, Shawn Shea wears a hip pouch to add spark to his trendy outfits. As suede became a fashionable part of the casual outfit, it had also became th e latest in shoewear. Becoming a not-sohot fad, snap bracelets invaded the St. Albert hallways for less than a month. .. rogess1ve aychecks by Robi Thomas After leaving school for the day, the general thought was to go home, re/ox and watch some un[mportont t. v. show. Right? Not everyone at Saint Albert hod this luxury, as most juniors and seniors held port-time jobs. One advantage of working was for the money. ''/got ojob because I like working with children and the fact that the job pays good", stated sophmore Tommie Durke. But there were some who needed the money to help out at home. These students were Zack Fetter shows his Halloween spirit while working at Drug Town in the Halloween aisle.

This was also on advantage for the student in the long run, however, as it helped the person balance their own money and prepare for for the future. ''/ realize that paying for my own stuff makes me more aware of the Value of o dollar and that the money doesn't go as for when I hove to pay for my own things, " commented senior Tino Ryon. With every advantage there must come some disadvantages, too. One major disodvantage was not being able to get your homework done before coming bock to school. Most students who worked found the time to do their homework in studyholl or before school. "Most often I hove to ask for certain days off in order to do my homework or just to spend time with my friends," said senior Meg Gronstal. Though working hos its advantages and disadvantages, the freedom to work helps o student learn about financial responsibility for years to come. Allison Hunter and Zack Fetter shows that working together can be fun . "Isn't this exciting? " thinks Letitia Sanchez who worked at Frederick's.

Many things contributed to the success of the dance, entitled "Blaze of Glory. " It was a success, according to senior class president Joy Killion, ''Because it was a good theme and the student council worked hard on it. "Student Council advisor Maryann Angeroth hod a different idea of why it was a success. ''A Jot of people were there, and the more people that go to the events, the more fun they hove." Queen Kari Hanafan and King Brian Avise find publicity a charming addition to being crowned. Kari Hanafan and Fr. Bud Grant look over a script ure passage before the Homecomng Mass. Decorations were simple, with boils of hoy and saddles which complimented the theme. "I thought the decorations went along with the theme very well, " commented junior Sarah Hobbins. Excitement hod built up days before the dance with the Homecoming Moss, which brought together the high school. Another spirit builder was the traditional crowning of royalty at the Thursday night pep rally. Tension mounted, and the end result was the crowning of King Brion A vise and Queen Kori Hanafan. ''I can't believe it/" was the thought that ran through Honofon's head ofter being crowned, as people bombarded both Hanafan and A vise with hugs and handshakes. "I didn't expect it at oil," was Brion A vise's reaction to his crowning.

In post years, S.A. cheerleaders hove not been able to do mounts. However, the Jorge number of cheerleaders hove enabled the squad to perform mounts that hove added more spirit to the cheers. Junior Terri Petrotis commented that, ' 'Mounts ore a change from regular cheers." Many of the mounts that were performed lost year were learned at Cheerleoding Comp, held in Ames, Iowa, over the summer. The Cheerleaders also used a Notional Cheerleoding Association book to learn the mounts. Comp provided the Cheerleaders with a lot of valuable information on how to better perform mounts, the main issue being to remain stiff, according to Jennny McGinn. Some mounts ore easier than others, but with determination ond practice, the mounts get easier to perform. Although some cheerleaders dislike mounts, others feel they odd spirit to the sport of cheerleoding. Using size to their avantage, S.A.

"It's easier to figure out something to do and it is more fun to go out in a large group," commented Lori Fox. The importance of getting a date has seemed to have dwindled since it has been clearly noticed that people prefer group dates. Weekend nights students could be found at Burger King on Madison Avenue, but in Jerry Schmitz's case he likes to "Hang out in the Foodland parking lot and look for babes." Several different activities were available for those who enjoyed group dates, as O'Connor added he enjoyed, "going to movies and a restaurant." Students found that going "dutch" was a lot easier to handle since the dollar value has gone down. When asked what their favorite memory of an outing was Jerry Schmitz insisted that "taping Jason Wanning to a tree at Jim Romano's house", topped them all.

"We hod a chance to soy what was necessary which helped make decisions," stated freshman rep Dove Poole. Many issues were brought up at student council meetings yet oil the council could do was represent the ideas to the administrative and school board. Issues of the year centered upon uniforms, or lock of, for the moles and changing of uniform for the females. Coming up with a strict uniform proposal, student council members presented the proposal to the board. Many comments on existing uniforms were mode, such as parental complaints that uniform skirts were too short. As a result, a proposal was mode that a different style of skirt be brought to the board. Although not many ore aware of the involvement of the student council, they kept themselves busy preparing for dances. Each class was assigned to sponsor a dance, freshman having Christmas, sophomores having Valentines and juniors sponsoring Prom. This not only included making all arrangements for each dance, but also decorating and clean up as well. As a whole, the council began the year with the Homecoming Dance and Pep Rally. Representatives from each grade were assigned jobs ad the council as a group decorated for the dance. Along with dances, the council hod a new organization to collect pop cons from receptacles on every Tuesday and Thursday.

This statement was true in many ways but high school was not all parties and having fun. As the class of 1994 learned quickly as freshman, high school took hard work and concentration in both academics and sports. Being a freshman wasn't easy. Freshman JiII Konz stated, " There are ex tra pressures being in high school instead of junior high but you have to be smart enough to handle them." Added pressures come from both school and sports. There were however, incentives, such as picking your own classes and electives and the new experience of arena scheduling. There were also differences in sports and extra curricular activities at the high school level. Sports in high school takes dedication, time, and practice. Other extra curricular activities that freshman can participate in such as school plays and 111 think the freshman class hos o lot of potential and talent and o good future ahead of us."

Of course there were special advantages that came with being a freshman such as being able to attend pep rallies, participate in varsity level sports, and having classes with upperclassmen. "/feel more a part of the high school being in some classes with upperclassmen. It g i ves you a chance to real/y get to know a lot more people and make new friends, " stated freshman Kate Hobbins. Discovering friendships that would last a lifetime, the f irst high school year was also a year to build r elationships. Finding themselves pul/ed together as a class and forming new r elationships with new people, the freshman year was above al/, a time to have fun with ot/1ers. Konz said, "/ think that tile freshman class has a lot of potential and talent and a good future ahead of us." Jeff Harrington, Jennifer Heideman, Katie Heithoff, Kate Hobbins, Tom Hromdka. Ryan Shea celebrates the holidays by attending the Christmas dance, sponsored by the Freshman Class. How is being in high school different from being in junior high?

School wos released due to the cold and students began to worry if the Christmas dance would still be held. Never fear, the show must go on, and so it did. Struggling their way through harsh winds and drifts of snow, the dance began and as the night progressed, the weather grew colder. Parents drove the younger students to the dance and afterwords waited in their toasty cars for their children to reoppeor ofter the dance 's existence was final. This night was one of excitement for many freshman girls, like Kelly Hughes and Amy Davis, who felt that ''it was fun to dress up in a formal, going out to eat, and just attending the dance."

Along with being a freshman and accepting new responsibilities, the Christmas dance was quite o change compared to the junior high dances that were held. For instance, cost was o major concern for not only boys but girls too. Formal dresses were quite on investment and ran anywhere from $150-$200.

What makes o class ring so special? Closs rings mode high school years always o special time. Closs rings symbolized individuality among the sophomore class. When one picked out o class ring, they found that it resembled who they were both outside and inside. ''/ picked out the one I really liked. It hod to be different and nobody else was getting one like it, " stated Chuck Jones. Along with individuality, class rings also gave sophomores more status in high school. ''/ feel that o class ring makes you more port of high school because it represents 5.A. and the school system," said Jenny Tobias.

When sophomores looked around for o class ring, one thing come to mind and that was, the cost of the ring and who was to pay for it. Although most sophomores didn't hold o job, it was hard for them to purchase o ring, therefore parents were the ones who bought the ring for them. But, there were some students who hod to pay their parents bock while others didn't. ·'My parents bought my ring for me as o gift and it shows that they core about me," stated Jenny Tobias. For each student, o class ring meant different things. For some it meant individuality and for others it means being o port of Saint Albert. Out for them oil, it means o port of growing up. Brian Cihacek listens attentively to the Josten rep while he explains the caretaking of a class ring. Rings often ran between $90-400 and stood as a constant reminder of high school years, yet women 's rings could cost two to three times less than males. How much did your class ring cost and who had to pay for it? Your parents or yourself? "My pa re nts bo ught my ring for me and they paid $315.

The answer to that question could be answered in one word: closeness. There were many "different" reasons why the sophomores were so close. For example, they oil got along well together and they did many things as o class outside of school on weekends, which wosn 't uncommon for 5.A. but different than other high school classes. But what mode the class so close? According to sophomore Mott Smith, ''we get along really well with each other because we oil act the some."

Some of the activities of the sophomores that occurred on weekends according to sophomore Jenny Christiansen, ''skiing,sledding, bowling, games, etc." were oil port of the closeness. Sophomore Corey Stock added that they also hod, ''parties and rollerskating and dances together " . Whether the sophomore class is close because of their compatible personalities or spending so much time together outside of school, the most important reason for their closeness was summed up in one sentence by Christiansen, ''we gave each other a chance and we core about each other and each other's feelings." ·• John Hrmodka, Emiliano " Mann y " Sanchez, Jason Smith, Dry ant Ficek, and Mike Pattee gather in the g y m lobby to eat their lunches together.

By Jonna Hicks Every year each class at St. Albert looks forward to o retreat where they con get away from the every day burden of school. This year's juniorsenior retreat was no different. For the first time, juniors and seniors come together to shore the retreat experience at Comp Niyoti, outside of Glenwood. Forgiving was o main topic of the retreat, on important topic that needed to be discussed. Anne Holder particularly liked this port, stating, ''It took core of hours of people ripping other people apart. " There was o more personal reason some juniors enjoyed the retreat. According to leonine Masker, ·'ft helped me see where the people from the rest of the doss were coming from. " Opinions were spoken, and o basic understanding come about because of this. No problems were evident when it come to combining both the junior and senior classes for the retreat pur- , pose. Each come more familiar to the other, which might not hove happened without the retreat. Masker liked the set-up, saying, "If you didn't know people, you got to know them. " This was one aspect of the retreat that many people seemed to enjoy. Every person hod their own opinion towards which port was best. It was the forgiving of friends in front of each other, the rugby, the private time with their classmates, and the individual prayers. Who is to soy which port was best? Overall, the retreat was a success, and those who attended it felt it was worth while, and feel that the tradition of yearly retreats should continue.

According to Amy Evers, "I am looking forward to leaving but it will be difficult to leave the security of school here." Tim Howard agrees with Evers, "I feel bad about leaving but I want to move on." When asked what gave them the most security, the most popular answer was friends, as senior Trent Hemmingsen stated, "I know everyone and I have friends here."

Senior Kevin Ryan is an example of this. "I spend all of my money on myself, except for school tickets." Many parents have a line drawn as to what they will pay for. Did you ever notice how fast your money disappeared? Whether it went to car payments, paying off loans to your parents, or just personal entertainment, most people don't even see their paycheck long enough before it is spent.

Looking to teachers for open minds, both the junior and senior classes partook in a joint retreat on October 15 and 16th. Throughout their lives, both juniors and seniors will find relating to others difficult. Taking this into consideration, the retreat was designed to aid the strained re1 at ions hips within the groups. "It was designed to give juniors and seniors a chance to relate to each other in a structured, non-academic environment," as Jan Machmuller affirmed. Machm u lier, along with Father Grant, attended the retreat as chaperones. Retreats in the past were often a time for friends and classes to work out their differences. However, the junior-s enior retreat was geared more towards teaching the classes interpe.rsonal relations. "They were able to have the time to personally th ink of how they were relating to each other," added Mach muller. Doth Steve Edelbrock and Nate Menges take a breather during retreat.

Soot, the cat and Shauna Tedesco, also Cinderella, realize that she had just danced with a prince. Shauna played Cinderella on Wednesday and Friday of the November performance.

Director Fred Wilson made his debut on the St. Albert stage, bringing a strong drama background with him. Wilson found it very easy to come into the St. Albert Drama Department, with the students eager to learn and work. Casting may have been a tad more difficult, since Wilson had never worked with the drama crew from S.A. before, "it was hard because I didn't know people well enough and if they would come through. " "Cinderella 's " cast came through, though and in flying colors. Experienced performers were on the stage, with Shauna Tedesco and Stac y Mcintosh both playing the role of Cinderella. Coming back for another stage performance was Jay Killion, who played the Prince. For many, their parts gave them memorable moments. For others, they will remember them backstage preparation with fondness. ''The practices; we goofed around, which helped keep a positive atmosphere around the stage." "Cinderella " was well-received by the audience. According to Wilson, "/think the market for children's theatre is definately there." This was e vident as many people enjoyed the performance, especially when it was performed for the primary school children. We all wish, at one time or another, that we could live a fairy tale, and we seem to forget about the fairy tales we grew to love as children. "It's sad we don't appreciate nursery rhymes when we are children, and when we watch them, it's kind of refreshing," commeted Wilson. Now when viewing a show such as "Cinderella," we can appreciate the story more. Faculty and Staff display their keen abilities to help while principal, Mike Avise showed off "Falcon Power."

The administration "Teachers are beneficial and make the day go by without as much pressure, it's good they are here." Kristie Gross which included Dr. Avise, Mr. Jawarski, and Mrs. Wandersee, Mr. Kavars and Mr. Bragg would usually be associated with student discipline, but they are involved with much more than that. Mr. Jawarski took care of the handbook regulations along with the transportation of the bussing system while Mrs. Wandersee took care of the junior high students and helped them throughout their day and Dr. Avise made r1 sure that all jobs were accomplished accordingly. A smile and helpful hand were always offered when entering the office. The office staff put aside their daily work to aid students whenever something was needed students could rely on the office personnel. Not given half the recognition that was highly deserved, the janitorial staff were often taken for granted and yet they were very vital people. The janitors were responsible for making St. Albert presentable to the community. High school is a place to make new friends, exp lo re, and learn . The teachers at St. Albert offered their talents and abilities to accomp lish these goals. Teachers be1 ieved that promoting a positive attitude to the students would bring success that lead to "Be it known to all who enter here, Christ is the reason for this school.

The first day of school was not only hard for new students, but new teachers as well. Jan Machmuller was one of the many additions to the faculty this year. She felt that "St. Albert has a very professional attitude. The kids are here to learn and that is what we expect of them." Along with the new faculty St. Albert treasures the longterm members. Terry Dolnicek marks his sixteenth year stating, "seeing the potential that exists in the kids here and being a part of the development, what the teachers see now is what the What m o ti - vates you to teach at S.A.? " I like working at a Christian school, the small classes, and being able to teach the moral standards are something the children need to develop. The fact that I am working with children and all of the family ties in the school, motivate me in my job here. The idea of knowing the parents and the children as well, creates the enjoyable atmosphere here at St. Albert." Konnie Wiegman kids will realize years from now." "The fact that I was taught to do the best that I can, I like things to run well and I want to be a part of that," added Art teacher Deb McGuire when she was asked what motivated her at St. Albert. St. Albert opened its doors to four new teachers, welcoming each and every one in a unique and different way. Ms. Machmuller stated, "the friendliness of the school, the home atmosphere, and the sincere students," made her first days welcome. Faculty at Saint Albert were all new at one time, so an appreciative "hello" or a pat on the back was always welcomed to not only the new but the older teachers as well. MR.

ITY the sweep of Upon walking into the office to pick up an admit by Pam L0okabill or a pass or for some other reason, how often were the secretaries thanked? Or going through the lunchline, were the cooks also thanked? What about the people who kept the school clean? Yes, the cooks, secretaries and janitors are all a part of the thankless staff at St. Albert. Secretary Marsha Wise, a Saint Albert alumni, typed reports and correspondances, among other things and has worked in the office for three years. She took the job in the S.A. office because, "I believe in a Catholic education and after years of volunteering and being room mother, I took an opening in the office." The other staff member in the main office was Secretary /Receptionist Jeanne Patten. Patten has worked in the office for two years and like Wise has students att ending S.A. and was very supportive of What keeps you going? "The staff and students are good here. I wanted to be a part of the system because I have three children here- they are a very important part of my life. I enjoy it here. I received a lot of support and encouragement and thank you's working in the office an's working in the office and it made me feel appreciated ... I am very supportive of the system and want to keep being a part of it." a Catholic education. "I wanted to be a part of the system because of my kids and I felt very appreciated here." Not only did the secretaries enjoy being a part of the S.A. staff, but also the janitors and cooks. Cook and three year Neola Bus Driver, Jeanette Masker commented, "I liked the people I worked with and the association we had with the students." An even better incentive for Masker was that, "I get holidays and summers off." The janitors (Harold Russell, Charles Matutka, Elmer Rodenburg and Glen Spar) kept S.A. looking good and deserved much thanks. Early hours and energy needed for the job, however, took its toll on both Charles and Glen, as both were hospitalized during the year. It then became Harold Russell's job to replace them with competent help. JEANETTE MASKER DEVOTES HER DAYS not only as o cook but also as o bus driver.

Takes Time ITY Off The St. Albert Administration has always been helpful. by Michelle McClellan They are usually recognized most for the time they put in during school hours straightening out problems and overseeing fundraisers. What most people don't realize is how much time they gave to S.A. through after school activities like dances and sports events. At the start of each school year the administration returned early from the fun and frollicking of their summer vacatons to help ready the school for the students' and teachers' return. After school let out for the summer, the teachers often stayed, making sure the school is left in good condition for the next year. Each member of the administration spent time after school and on weekends being chaperwhy do you work here? "I personally feel that God wants me to serve the people here as well as Him and His son, and to be an example of his loving kindness and compassion for all people," Dean Bragg. ones for different sports events. Aside from this time they . also regularly attended the events - as fans, showing their continued support for every activity. In addition, they are consistan tly available during nonschool hours to help solve various problems. The St. Albert administrators also spent time on the financial and public aspects of the school. They must continually work to insure a good image for St. Albert in the Council Bluffs community, as well as the state of Iowa. They attended meetings such as those of the area board in order to keep St. Albert out of debt. Some other meetings attended are meant to keep them, and St. Albert, at the top of their field. ASST.

Volleyball Girls set high goals and almost make it happen by Sarah Hobbins With four seniors who had played varsity positions for three years, the Saintes successful season rested on experience. The team set high goals as Coach Beckman stated, "were to make it to the finals of sectionals. " Losing to Essex in the final round, the Saintes ended their season /st in Conference and second in Sectionals. Success as a team was evident throughout the year, but as Beckman added, each girl attained their own personal achievements. "Kristie Gross was very conistent and Kari Hanafan and P ousing to toke o breath both Stephanie Klement and Kori Hanafan discuss bock row strategies. Stephanie Klement developed leadership." In addition to these, Beckman added, "Missy Schmida matured as a varsity played while Jeanine Masker and Lisa Spears became strong hitters." Highlights of the season for Beckman came as she was able to watch "seven girls grow and progress as players and individuals." Klement, however, felt the season highlight came, "when we played and came so close to beating Underwood." Their growth as individuals led the girls to other personal achievements: Kari Hanafan- I st team All City. I st team All Conference; Jeanine Masker- 2nd team All City, I st team All ConLU ference; Lisa Spears, 2nd team All City; Kristie Gross and Stephanie KlementHonorable Mention All City. Hanafan also led the team with the highest percentage hits while Gross followed having highest percentage serves. Following this trend of persona l growth was Jeanine Masker with the team's highest percentage blocks. Part of the team's success was built on being adaptable . At one point, se tte r Missy Schmida was "moved to left-front and we put Terri Petratis in as an additional blocker a nd hitter," Beckman concluded, adding, "we also used Pam Lookabill in serving."

The team had something hidden but once that special spark came out, teamwork was " ... so necessary," Kinart added.

The hard work came in streaks, win two, lose two, having a hard time keeping heads up and making the momentum work for them. Team energy kept the young Saintes pushing for victory though. "Chez was a good coach and very energetic, " added hitter/ setter Patti Stephens. Kinart added, "practices pushed us harder to make us do better. " Coming into the season with visible intensity, the Saintes won their season opener and the second and third games. At that time, however, the Saintes went into their wave motion. "Adjusting to the new faces was hard, " stated junior Jacque Hughes, also adding, "but by game time, knowing everyone made it easier to work together. " Teammates must have the inner strength to put their differences aside and do their best, however, this isn't always easy, "Having a new coach was hard to adjust to," stated Nikki Ra v/in.

"We know how each other plays and we know what everyone is going to do," stated setter Kelly Hughes. Perspiration, red arms, and sore muscles were signs of a freshman volleyball player after a long hot practice. Working hard prepared the team for the tough season ahead of them.

"We need to be able to work together to pass well, we have to stay good friends to work well," added Hughes. Metioning key factors which held the Saintes together, junior varsity player Jenni Tobias commented, "They had a lot of individual talent which held the team together. Their individuals talents mixed together helped the team become one .. . they helped each other out." "Harlan had a big front row and could hit, " commented both Davis and Katie Heithoff, setter for the aspiring Saintes.

Although they never made playoffs, the season was still a "success." by Pam Lookabill Although the success of the Varsity football team did not reflect in their 4-5 record, it did show in other ways, as the Falcons faced teams from four different states and had to rely on underclassmen to fill the open spaces. The 1990 schedule was a tough one for the football team, according to Head Coach Marshall Scichilone, "we played four teams from four different states that made it to the playoffs." Playing teams from four different classes was also another sign of a tough schedule. However. according to running back Head Cooch Marshall Scichilone gives some helpful advise to his players during a timeout. Kelly O 'Connor the record didn't give the team justification, "considering the opponents we played, two out of nine won their state championships. So we did okay." Only two starters returned this year, leaving the underclassmen to fill the voids. Scichilone believed that they did very well in their roles, "we had three sophomores that played key roles, which was unusual." The senior players showed much leadership and those who didn't play as much took on different roles, Scichilone added. Seasonal highlights for many players came by beating Rockport 19-17 and Ronca/Ii 14- 7. "Beating Rockport was important because it was our Homecoming game," split end Rich Swank said, but beating Ronca/Ii was even more special because, "it was the first time we beat them in four years," added senior running back Jim Romano. recipient of the Knute Rockne Award. Although their recor d did not show how successful the season was, the success they did have was due to the fact that the players were not selfish when it came to playing in the games and they worked as a team not as individuals.

" The team turned in great performances oil season. They worked well together os U;ing their strength the young squad ha ils another victory. o team. Mott Smith commented, "/ feel the 1990-91 football season was o good learning experience for everyone, we might not hove won every game but everyone that ployed, played their hardest and never gave up. " Positive attitudes and supporting each other helped to build a successful team. Practice, practice, practice. Something most players dread, but if success is desired then it is something that must be overcome. Dove Poole added, ' 'practices consisted mostly of technique drills and working on plays, during the summer twice-a-day Monday through Saturday, then every day ofter school. " They also hod gained experience with the Varsity players. " We mostly practiced with Var. sit. I think we learned a lot and it will help us in the future," commented sophom ore Mott Smith.

One of these is praying before each game. This is a priviledge some teams are not offered as Coaches Greg Gentile and Ken Schreiber give a pep talk to the anxious players. Although small in numbers, the freshman football team showed doubting fans that they could come out ahead by overcoming teams like Glenwood and having five victories under their belts. by Jenny McGinn "Our team was smaller because a Jot of freshmen went out for cross country instead, " Mark Willms explained. The freshman team for the 1990 proved themselves worthy of respect with a 5-1- 1 record. Each year a new group of fresh-faced gridders join the ranks of the varsity and j. v. teams. These young players have had little or no experience in playing football other than in eighth grade. U p and coming freshman gridder Brad Krohn shows off his strong defensive skills in a takedown. As these men found more responsibilites and activities available to them, fewer men tried out for freshman football. Tony Mauer, who was very proud of the season stated, "our best gain was against Glenwood." Improving "in team unity," throughout the season helped the young Falcons, according to sophomore Dave Poole, who came down from the junior varsity level to assist the freshman. Due to the small turnout of freshmen, a few of the sophomore junior-varsity players were asked to help. This gave the freshmen an opportunity to experience more challenging play, which helped them "improve offensively," Jeff Davis stated. One of the benefits of having a small team is that it gave every member of the team the chance to gain experience. Despite such negative factors as small numbers and lack of experience, these few men had a very impressive season. Tony Mauer makes a strong attempt at holding back a P lattsmouth player on his way to the goal line. This kind of defense led the Falcons to a 5-1-1 record.

With the young competitors bock, the upcoming season looked very positive, and the future looked bright with many state qualifiers returning .. by Stephanie Klement "Hot, hot, hot and giving it all they've got" is how the cross country season started out for St. Albert. Although the temperature was in the high ninties, the competetors gave 100% in their practices and meets. The opening for the sport started towards the end of the summer, a few weeks before school began. The cross country team practiced in the morning, usually during the cooler time of day, to train for their season. Training consisted of long distance running of four to five miles including hills and sprints. ''The St. Albert boys display thier winning attitude despite the drizzlying cold weather at State in Ames. practices were hard and hot, but if you have a positive outlook and attitude it all pays off," stated freshman state qualifier and second team runner Jill Konz. "Closeness" was a word often synonomous with the cross country team, which helped the morale and their turn out of the season. Junior and state qualifier Molly Malone added, "cross country is a Jot of fun with all the hard work attached. We are like a family because we are around one another constantly. " The girls team went undefeated in season meets with top runner Carolyn Gorman leading the pack. At the district meet both the boys and girls teams finished second to first finisher Gilbert. The second place finishes gave the teams a chance for the state title, the second year in a row for both teams. Both teams also fin ished first at conference for the second year. The team voted sophomore Carolyn Gorman and sophomore Corey Stock as the MVP's of the year while Andy Murray was nominated for best form. Carolyn Gorman was also elected SW/ Runner of the Year by the Nonpareil. Michelle Mc V e y prepares for the first early Saturda y mee t as Core y Stock looks confused a t some stickers.

Weather conditions were rough, with blustering cold wind and sleet raining down, yet instead of that holding them bock, it gave them on extra incentive to push harder. End results were promising, with the Sointes placing 4th as a team, and the Falcons placing eighth.

There were a few obstacles to overcome when striving for state. According to sophomore Carolyn Gorman, ditricts, and specifically the team from Gilbert were tough, "We were in a tough district. " Both teams showed that they could compete with the best when they hod strong showings at distrits both as a team and individually. For sophomore Corey Stock, it was mental attitude, "/ hod to keep telling myself that I could go farther and farther." Mental attitude was a Jorge port of the success that both cross country teams sow this year. Competing with a young team was looked upon positively, and not at oil negatively. It actually gave both cross country teams on extra edge. When looking towards the future, there may be great things lying ahead for both the Sointes and the Falcons.

The 1990-91 wrestling season turned out to be very successful in the eyes of many wrestlers as more duals were won than ever before as Jerry Schmitz and Tim Evers mode it to districts. By Pam Lookabill The 1990-91 wrestling season was considered a successful season by many people as many team and personal goals were set at the beginning of the season. According to five-year St. Albert wrestling coach Loren Lintner, "one of our team goals was to make the state academic team and we made it with a 3.1 grade point average." Another team goal was to "win more than two duals and we won three. " But on a more individual level were J unior and veteran wrestler Tim Evers struggles with his opponent in hopes of a reversal. personal goals. "My goals were not to be pinned, win conference, sectionals and districts," stated junior wrestler Tim Evers. Junior Jerry Schmitz, recipient of the Ken Petersen award, also "wanted to go to districts and have 25 wins. " On the other hand, sophomore Chuck Jones just wanted to "come out with a couple of medals and to improve m y overall wrestling as compared to last year." The wrestlers also had to learn to keep themselves composed during the matches in order to think straight and not make any mental mistakes. What they learned and used in wrestling, they also used in daily life. "I learned selfdiscipline and self-control which I use outside o f wrestling," stated Jones. Evers also learned that "throwing a fit only made matters worst and I needed to stay calm and patient. Achieving many of the season goals, the wrestlers found success came in more ways than just winning meets. 5C1phomore Scott Willms takes the top advantage over his opponent in hopes of pinning him and adding six onto the scoreboard, leading his team onto victory.

Finding the first two opponents tough, the Saintes lost to AL and Blair yet came back to win three. The Saintes underwent a major loss this season, with only one senior returning for play, Kari Hanafan, leaving the depth of the team in youth. This will, however, leave the Saintes sitting secure for nex t season, with youth and experience on their side. The Saintes were very dedicated , many of the girls would spend their Sunda y evenings at open gym and practiced on their own. "/didn't attend open gym because I decided at the last minute to go out for basketball," stated Lori Hughes, however, center Jeanine Masker added "/ didn 't practice on m y own a lot but I do shoot baskets quite a bit on m y own. Also, attending basketball camp last summer an plan to again this summer." Masker also added she plans to attend open gym at Tri-Center and S.A. when she can. Part of the winning attitude for the team came between the players, "Of course there is competitiveness on the court, but not as much as there should be since we didn't have that many girls go out," added Lori Hughes. In addition, the team goals helped the Saintes. "Our goals were to work hard, have a good record and be a team," added Hughes.

By Sarah Hobbins Despite the youth of the team the junior varsity girls basketball team had an overall impressive season. Consisting of mostly freshman with a few sophomores, the JV team worked hard throughout the season and saw a lot of the results they wanted. They set high goals for themselves and thier team and by the end of the season they were very pleased with the results. As Freshman Amy Davis stated, "/ thought his year went very well, we started out strong, beating A .L. , and sta y ed strong throughot the season." Halfwa y through the season, the freshman formed their own team and worked ex ceptionally well. The freshman proved their talent by impressing many of their fans with their season victories. Having potential and talent, the young team played toge ther for many years perfoming very well on the court. Freshman Amy Davis commented that, "Our numbers were somewhat small so we all had a chance to get close." Overall, the season had many ups and downs. The highlight of the season for most of the team was the defeat against A.L. in the season opener. Despite that they also had many tough games against some very difficult teams.

By Robi Thomas As the new year approached, many students were fired up for the boys basketball season to begin as signs were bei~g made by the cheerleaders, pep r~ll1es were being organized, and practices had begun for the team. All were anxious when the Falcons stepped on the court for their first home game, which was against the Red Oak Tigers. The team had met them fast year for the last game of the season, after the Falcons lost to them in districts, but this time the Falcons proved to be victorious. The team then went on to beat J osh Brocker looks for on open player during the Red Oak game ployed at St. Albert. Glenwood, but fell to cross town rival T. }. Promising to be a winning one, the season record ended 16-5. "/ think the season went real well. We did better than most people thought we would and it makes you feel good inside after accomplishing your goals," stated sophomore Jamie Hughes. The teams' main goals for the year were to go to State, be District Champs, win the Conference Tournment and be the champs, the best in the town. Evidence showed that Falcon defense proved to be the winning key, opening the door to victory as their goal was to keep the opponents score to 52 points a game without being overpowered by their offense skills. "You may win few games with offense but most of the time defense wins you more games," stated Coach W ettengel. As the season came to an end, all were anx ious for Districts and State qualifers as the Falcons made it to third round districts before losing to Clarinda. As for next year although there are hard shoes to be filled, "I'm not afraid or hesitant, it will be an exciting team to watch " said We ttenge/.

Although Matt Smith looks like he 's perfecting the latest dance step, he was really making his teammembers know that he's open for a pass. Growing from the beginning and finishing up with style the joyvee basketball players showed they hod what it tokes to become winners. By Michelle McClellan Falcon Basketball has been known for years for the depth of its bench. This year was certainly no exception as many of the junior varsity players were called upon to assist during varsity playing time. In order to be able to affectively perform with the varsity cagers those j. v. called upon to fulfill this task had to practice twice as long with both the jayvee and the varsity. "ft was kind of hard practicing for that long, but it really helped me when I got to play during the varsity games," stated junior Andy Vanfossan. And help it did. As injuries and sickness hit the varsity members the jayvee cagers stepped up the intensity and came through in style. In fact, when several of the players were out some of the jayvee starters ended up being the six th or seventh man off the bench. Not only did this playing time really help out the varsity in clutch situations, but it also insured the future of St. Albert basketball. "By getting some varsity playing time, I feel I will be much more ready nex t season to be a dependable varsity player, " felt sophomore Brendan Ryan. But the best part of having these players was that the j. v. really gained some strength from e xperience and went on to have quite an impressive winning record. This new found expertise was not only evident on the court but in the crowd support as well. "/ used to just come in time for the varsity contest but the j. v. was playing so well that it was fun to come and cheer them on as well," recalled veteran fan, senior Tim Howard. This excitement is sure to continue into the future. Ju n i o r Andy Va n f ossan puts up a j ump shot over his opponent as Brendan Ryan w aits anxiously for the re bound.

Determined to find a way to the ball both Chris Eckrich and Matt Clayton make their defense count against a tough team. "they had the will to win, always thought they were a better team." Toking o time out to gather their thoughts, teommembers Jeff Harrington, Eric Fischer, Andy Murray, Matt Clayton, Chad Smith, Tom Hrmodka, Ryan Shea, Jason Epperson, Chris Eckrich and Cooch Chris Hughes pion their next strategy. Talent was dominant on the young Falcon team, with o positive attitude and quickness to odd to the team. Confident in every player, new freshmen basketball coach Chris Hughes carried out every goal he had in mind stepping into the position. With a 12-3 record, the young Falcons accomplished many goals this year. Probably the most important was to beat Millard South. a goal never before accomplished from a Saint Albert team. "The boys always had the will to win, always thought they were a better team than the opponents, they psyched the competition out," stated Hughes. One main factor for this confidence was the Trying for two points, Ryan Shea concentrates on form while teammates look on. depth of the bench. Hughes added, "/ could go deep on the bench if I needed to and it wouldn't affect the play of the team." Tony Mauer added, ''That was a great game, in the third quarter we wnt on a run and the score was 26-3; that was the best!" A main factor for this could be attributed to team leader Tony Mauer, who as Hughes recalls, "can lead in scores and rebounds at any time. " Hughes also felt two additional team leaders were Jason Epperson and Ryan Shea, but felt that Mauer, "got a bad rap out on the court, but he makes things happen any time he's out there. " Unfortunately, the Falcons could not fulfill the team goal of being undefeated, yet were satisfied with their wins over tough schools. Competition varied throughout the season, but the toughest competition for the youth ful Falcons came from Creighton Prep. ''They're a very dominating club; they have tough defense, great offense and they could probably start on any Varsity club in the Metro," Hughes added. "Prep has a lot of balanced scoring," added Mauer. :F ~@ U' '\'\ ~ i t h W heighth as o n a dvantage, Frank Roane attempts a tbree p o inte r during the first game of the season.

By Trisha Davis It was a long and warm day, spring was in the air and the tracksters began their first day of practice, hardwork and determination and with the right attitude the boys track team goal was well with in reach. "/ would really like to win state in either the 2 mile, mile, or the 8<.XJ, personally, but for the team it would be nice for us all to place good at state," stated Phil Hasenkamp, who has proved to the team that not only skill, but hardwork and practice are benefits in the end. This year the track team benefitted by new long distance runners, being able to dominate more now in the long distance area. A promising future certainly is ahead of the boy's track team.Coach Mehsling replied, "so far the season has gone pretty good, there has been a lot o f success, and a lot of improvements since last year. There is a nice balance between sprints and distance runners. Not to mention the continued traditon of good sprint relays, new strength brought in with distant events." Boy's track has always played an imJ im Romano, Kelly O 'Connor, and Chris Gard mentally prepare for the next event. pressive role at St. Albert, and are all hoping to go to State, Kevin Ryan stated that he "would love to go to State, as well as the rest of the team, " Coach Mehsling added that he would "like to qualify in as many things as possible at State, and to win as many metals as possible at the meets also. " The long standing tradition of excellence at St. Albert is evident through the track program and will be just as evident in the years to come.

By Terri Petratis and Nicole Rav/in Finding themselves back at the top, the Saintes track team began the season by setting records at the Lewis Central Invitational and ended the season sending several qualifiers to State. Sophomore Molly Malone edged the team closer to victory each meet as she was ranked number one in Iowa for the Open 800, while fellow teammate Patty Stephens challenged her competitors in the Long Jump. Following close behind in team leadership was veteran Kari Hanafan, whose quiet leadership help propel the Saintes towards becoming a unified team. One of the positive motivators for the Saintes was found in youth. With only one senior and five juniors, the Saintes had to rely on youth to pick up where the State qualifying 1990 team left off. This meant placing freshmen in spots normally held by veterans. Finding added pressure in the District meet, several relays and individuals qualified for State, however a devastating blow was issued as the Sprint Medley team as the baton was knocked P reparing themselves for State, Michelle Konz and Nicole Rav/in run the first and second leg of the 4 X 800 in winning time at the A.L.

Malone however, did qualify along wih Nikki Rav/in, Val Graeve and Michelle Konz in the 4 x 800 while Patti Stephens qualified in the long jump and the distance medley wih teammates Carrie McGruder, Nikki Rav/in and Val Graeve. Rounding o ff the State qualifiers was the 4 x 400 with Malone, Petratis, Konz and Hughes while adding to the individuals, Jill Konz raced in the 3axJ meter run.

Although the experience ranges from senior to freshmen the girls golf team come together to perform well. Starting anew, and moving on from eagles and bogies to par and birdies always hoping for that illusive hole-in-one this years girls golf team went found each meet challenging. By Michelle McClellan Golf at Saint Albert, or anywhere for that matter, is often thought of as a sport for the lazy participants don't run up and down a court or field, don't physically attack competitors, and don 't have to injure themselves to gain respect from fellow players. It is, however, a game of precision and accuracy, needing the utmost poise and concentration in every phase of the contest. Jn most other sports, not only do the players have other team members that they can pass off to, but the task they have to perform is a bit more broad than getting a tiny ball into a very small hole about 150 to 100 yards away. This year the team was filled with younger students and only one senior, Llori Co/chin, was on hand to help lead the team. This was Co/chin 's fourth year playing golf and her experience showed. One of the most difficult challenges for her was being the Jone leader. "It was kind of hard not to have anyone out of my class with me on the team, but it also made it a Jot easier for me to get to know the younger members of the J enny Hotz combines a powerful swing and complete concentration to drive her boll nearer the w hole. team," stated Llori Co/chin. One positive aspect of having a team with as much youth as this years team was that the future looks extremely bright. Although the new underclassmen spend part of the season just trying to get into the "swing" of things, by the end of spring observer's could tell girls golf is going to be around for a long time. Not only will the current players still be around for several more years, but it makes it less intimidating for new people to join.

By Lori Fox Clubs in a case hanging off their backs was a familiar feeling for many of the St. Alberts golfers. The St. Albert boys golfers had a successful season this year according to Junior Andy Vanfossan, "We finished fourth again at the T.J.-A.L.

We were disappointed though getting third at City and not going to Districts, beeTaking a practice swing before his tum I Shone Nielsen perfects his swing. vause we had our sights set on State but we fell short by forty strokes." The season was full of excitement, laughs, and some good golf. As Junior Shane Nielsen remembers, ''The funniest thing that happened was when I was playing this kid named Newell who wore an umbrella hat, supposedly ate robins, chased squirrels, and thought he was a golfing God!" There are no golfing Gods on our team according to Andy Vanfossan, "Well we really didn't have an outstanding golfer we were all the same. Everyone except me won a place in a meet so I guess we were the same. Our attitude was like it would be if you put Sly, Noon, Schnitker, Sautter, and Iii Lar all together, along with one beloved coach Tom Heithoff," commented Junior Andy Van fossan. This season was better than the years past and the record shows it. ''The outcome is the most successful season we've had in a few years, we overall played really well as a team. I believe we shocked a few people by our record," Junior Shane Nielsen added. The h a rd worki ng g olfe rs toke 0 res twhile the y ta lk ove r how they did.

Bud Grant. I - - - - Using motivational tactics to enthuse the team, Father Bud Grant and the Falcons not only hove o winning season, but also claim city chomps. Soccer has been around for years at Saint Albert but this year was different, not only was the sport on its third season of being o school sanctioned activity but the team had o very good season compared to previous seasons. "There is talent and o lot of fun on the field, Jamie Hughes keeps everyone on their toes," stated Shawn Shea. Compared to last year the team went on o winning streak finishing the year 7-6. Setting o goo/ to become City Champs and have o winning record, Jason Wanning added "if takes years of practice, you have to have o lot of speed and be , willing to do your best in each and every game. " Jeremy Kroll agreed, adding, "I've been playing sice I was five and I om addicted to the sport." Do their best they did as the team improved their one win record from the 1990 season to seven wins this season. To enthuse the players, coach Father Dud Grant developed player of the week awards. "Dud applies your positions with your ability," stated Jeremy Kroll, adding that "in soccer you rely very much on other teammates to back you up or help you when scoring, each and every position is essential and p la ys o very important role. " Using this strategy throughout the season, the Falcons beat A.l. in the last home game to claim victory and city champions. " Our goal was to be city champs and a lso to have o winning record, it took o lot of work but all of us were willing to put in the extra w ork so we could accomplish our goals," stated Wanning. F ul/back Ste v e Ed e lbrock throws the ball in after T.J. kicke d it out of bounds while later in the game, Jamie Hugh e s he ads the ball trying to keep it away from th e Yellowjackets. The Falcons lost the game 4-1. Driving dow nfield, Sis Klement and Lori Hughes attempt to score against Ronco/Ii. The game, however, was cancelled due to numerous injuries on both teams.

By Lori Fox Victory is a well known word many girls from the St. Albert soccer team are used to. The girls soccer season was full of hard games. The climax of the season was according to senior Anita Jabro, "winning the Challenge Cup game against Lewis Central (4-29). It was the game we really wanted, and we worked hard and got it. " Working hard is exactly what the Saintes soccer team did. "Soccer is a very competitive sport and you have to be very aggressive, " Tina O'Brien added. One individual who stood out in the eyes of Junior Sara Kinart was "Lori Hughes, she always had a positive attitude. She pushed everyone and gave everyone a chance. " But all of the girls on the Saints soccer team played hard all year and that's exactly what they did this season. "We showed a lot of improvement from last year, it showed us how great a season we could possibly have in the 90-91 season," Sara Kinart added. Most of the players enjoy it so much because "the people make it fun and our coaches are laid back, so we can enjoy ourselves and concentrate on how we play the game and not just winning," according to senior Anita Jabro. "Being only one game away from city champs and only one game away from a perfect record made us feel pretty proud," Stated junior Sara Kinart. The Saintes were winners in other categories such as improving their skills, having fun, and leaving the Saintes with high hopes of an even better season next year. Throwing in to he r t e ammate, Stephanie Klement tries to reach Lori Hughes in th e match agains t Ronco/Ii, while Jenny Schmitz, Tino O'Drien and Soro Kinart toke a breather during th e game due to injuries. Chad Arnold follows through after returning a serve during a singles match. Great concentration was needed to get to the ball. S.A. 9 T.J. 0 S.A. 0 Atlantic 9 S.A. 0 A.

Great friends and memories were mode, which would lost long ofter the season was over and the racquets put away. By Janna Hicks Changes came about within the tennis team with a new coach and a new perspective. Coach Vince Rew took over with vengence, hoping to make tennis respected as a Varsity sport at St. Albert. Sophomore Chad Arnold thought it was a positive change, "/think it was helpful. I felt the tennis program needed a change of pace." Shawn Kenney added, "Vinnie taught us a lot of new things, and he kept it fun, even though we wanted to win badly." Improvement was evident throughout the season, with overall game and form changing for the good. All of this improvement was evident, especially to Coach Rew, "I've been seeing improvement from the beginning." Many players set goals to improve themselves. "/set a goal of trying to win as many matches as I possibly could. I really didn't win as many as I wanted to," stated Shawn Kenney. Mike Wiegman agreed, adding, "We progressed throughout the season .. . the highlight of the season was when Pete and 1 defeated Halsted and Fox at the Atlantic Tournament." One goal for Justin Pekny was to win the City Tournament which he eventually won in the number three seed. Many memories will last from this tennis season, some good and some bad. Good memories outweigh the bad, with frequen t laugh attacks and coughed up food. Pete Thompson summed it up best by saying, "With Mr. Rew, or 'Vinnie ' as we so affectionately call him, not only did we have a new and different coach, we had a new personality as a team. We are just one big happy fa m ily with Vince, or maybe I should say 'dad' at the helm." Ju stin Pe k ny con centra te d on his serve, a se r ve w hich helpe d him win many of his dua l matches. Pekn y had th e m o st wins in du a l matches out of the whole team. Pete Thompson, Cooch Rew, and Mike Wiegman discuss their per. formonces ot the Lewis Ce ntro/ match. D oth Sarah Hobbins and Lori Fox make every effort to beat their opponents in the City Meet. "the City meet was the highlight, . . . it made us try harder. " Anne Lainson, Emily Howlett, Sarah Hobbins, Missy Schmida, Vince P.ew, Janna Hicks, Erin Walsh, Angie Spitznogle, Lori Fox, Amy Spitznogle, Anne Holder. Players Achieve With o new coach to guide them, the ladies tennis team sent o doubles team to Districts and hod o top seeded individual player. Dy Jenny McGinn Having big shoes to fill as for as the top Varsity seats, the 1991 Saintes tennis team had a lot of hard work ahead of them, but with a new coach and philosophy, it wasn 't hard at all. Vince Rew, a 1986 graduate of St. Albert, took over the position of head coach and received rave reviews from his players. Juniors Janna Hicks and Sarah Hobbins agreed that having a younger coach did have its benefits. "He jokes around more and he's a lot of fun," Hobbins stated. "He can come down to our level easier than an older coach would," Hicks added. Rew added a new concept to the practices that many people hadn't associated with tennis: conditioning. Although this resulted in a few moans and groans, it did prove to be effective. Tennis is noto totally physical sport: about fifty percent of it consists of confidence, however being physically prepared con help in boosting confidence. Melissa Schmida, top-seeded varsity player, said the highlight of the season is always " the city meet, because w e ployed against people we know so it mode us try harder. " This match w as very crucial to all of the players as they played against other schools in Council 8/uffs, and it was a tournament not j ust a m atch, w hich means Jong hours in the sun and tough competition. Hopefully, the Sointes w ill continue to improve in the y ears ahead: so for they hove a good start. With such a young team (there were no seniors out) they hove plenty of time to concentrate on e very aspect. Suc c ess f u l players Missy 5chmido a nd Anne Holder try to k eep th e ir ra n kings d uring the City Meet. Showing his versatility to both hitting and movement, Chad Standard come onto the team as a hidden weapon. Using his heighth as on advantage, Bryon Holder reaches out to snag the boll and make the out.

With only three returning seniors, the Varsity Falcon Baseball team finds themselves thrust into a long, hot season and serious goals on their minds. Having to face such opponents as Clarinda, Glenwood and Lewis Central, the Varsity Falcons began their Jong summer against Des Moines East, losing 11-2 yet bounced right back to beat Granville-Spaulding 9-0. With the season extending long into July, the Falcons had a roster which included 36 games, the toughest of them coming from such strong teams as Clarinda and Glenwood. ''They have a strong baseball program and their pitchers are very good, but we have great bats and a strong defense," stated catcher Jeremy Kroll. Coach Ken Schreiber agreed adding that within the Class 2A the toughest competition would come from both schools but the team also "needs to defeat City competitor Lewis Central. " Only three seniors returned for play, Matt Noon, Matt Way and Bryan Holder and teammate Jeremy Kroll felt that made them "good leaders. They keep the team together and make sure we have good behavior and most importantly they have a serious attitude about the season." A serious attitude will be needed to drive the Falcons towards Speed often is a state of mind, as Rich Swank realizes ofter being thrown out at first bast in the season opener against Des Moines East. their team goal of "not getting beat by city rivals, have a winning record (with losses in the single digits) and, of course," Kroll adds, "make a trip to Districts and State." Having a strong pitching team (Noon and Wa y) helped the Falcons push themselves to meet those goals, yet as Schreiber added, "our weakness is our hitting. ,, This weakness, unfortunately, ate the Falcons game plans in the beginning o f the season as their first three games ended with a 1-2 record, losing to both Des Moines East and Clarinda. Finding reos. suronce in coaches, Mott No on re a d i es himself for o pos. sible steal ofter getting the sig. no/ from coach Gory Rindone.

Dy Stephanie Klement School ended in May and most students looked forward to going home, relaxing and waiting for the summer fun to begin, but for those in softball the summer opened up with morning practices. Softball is a demanding, yet enjoyable sport.Having games as many as three times a week and often playing long Saturday tournaments held in various places, the girls worked hard in the driving heat. Many numbers and a wide range of ages were involved in the sport. With only two seniors Kari Hanafan and Diane Fisher, the Varsity team found its strength in youth. Consisting predominately of eighth graders, the junior varsity also relied on youth for their victories. "ft will be a lot better this year, we won 't have to play both junior varsity and varsity games," stated junior Molly Malone. Starting pitcher this year was eighth grader Kori Nielsen, who filled the shoes of graduating seniors, while the infield was dominated by juniors and seniors. Leadership and dedication is found on every team. Cooch Lintner reaffirmed this, adding ''/rely on team leaders to be junior Molly Molone and Jeanine Masker and senior Kari Hanafan. These girls portro y positive attitudes and keep the \\/Ith only seconds to make the ploy, Molly MorW rison grounds the ball. teams ' heads up. " A combination of hard ploy, good sportsmanship, and all around team hustle was expected out of the girls this season. Despite the teams youth, a strength found in the Saintes this year w as experience. Freshmen returning from last year hod varsity playing time and also Kori Hanafan and Je a nine M ask e r ha v e played varsity for four years. One w eakness that the Sointes hod to overcome w as the Jock of exp erience in pitching, but w ith hard work and dedication the Sointes looked for a good season. M o kin g th e most of a scrimmage, the Sointes hoped to have a winning season. Showing perfect form, Michelle Konz makes a strong showing at State held in Des Moines while Jacque Hughes tries to stay in second place in her race. Striding neck and neck in the Sprint Medley Relay, Phil Hosenkomp tries to make his split time his personal best whl/e above, Jim Romano works his form to help the 4 x 100 toke 7th with a time of 45:06. 0 0 Kz~s success Finding themselves once again at the top, both the Saintes and Falcons track teams sent a combined total of seven relays and four individuals to State, with sophomore Phil Hasenkamp bringing home the Gold in the 1600 Meter Run. Taking every race one at a time both the Falcons and Saintes placed several relays in the top ten in Class 2A while both Phil Hasenkamp and Jill Konz placed in the top ten in their individual events. Running his best time ever, Phil Hasenkamp brought home the Gold in the 1600 Meter Run, crossing the finish line in 4:24.86. Hasenkamp also competed in the 800Meter run and the Sprint Medley Relay with Chris Gard, Jim Romano and Kelly O'Connor with a time of 3:40.80 and taking ninth place.

The same four runners also competed in the 4 x 200 placing ninth. During the previous weekend, the Saintes also found their version of success as Jill Konz took seventh in the 3(XX) meter run at 11:14.15. Adding to the individual successes, Patti Stephens quali- \\forking stride for stride Nicole Rav/in edges W closer to the finish line in the 4 x 800. fied for the first time at S.A. for the Long Jump with a final jump of 16'/ ". Relays were another forte of the Saintes, with Nicole Rav/in and Molly Malone leading by example with Rav/in having a split in the 4 x 200 of 26.6 and both girls having splits in the 4 x 800 of 2:26, personal bests for each girl and helping the 4 x 800 place third in Class 2A. Other outstanding finishes included the 4 x 200 which finalized eighth place and the 4 x 40J at tenth and the Distance Medley Relay coming in thirteenth.

N-"'-------' ate Becerra and Jason Remember when the first day of school came around and you just couldn't wait to show all of your friends your new lunch box? Those were the good old days when going to school was something to look forward to. Usually something exciting happens to make the new school year different but for the 91-92 school year there was nothing out of the ordinary that made the new school year seem different. The new dress code got everyone's a ttention and even some people's opinions. The dress code change was the biggest change for the 91- 92 school year. 'The most exciting thing about the n ew school year was being a senior and knowing that it is rhy last year in high school," stated senior J acque Hughes. All of the students are looking forward to being one year closer to being finished with high school. Entering a n ew year of high school is exciting especially for the freshman who are now able to participate in different school activities such as going to school dances, pep rallies, be involved in Homecoming week, and also student council. As freshman Warren Mohn commented, "Getting to go to more high school events and being known as a high school student rather than being a junior high student is the best thing about this year." The 91-92 school year started off great with a ll of the fall sports doing very well. The football team was undefeated and made it all the way to the class 2A semifinals. Both cross country teams qualified at state and were successful. The volleyball team also did well they made it all the way to the district finals. " The most exciting and new thing that happened was the success in all of our fall sports, it was a great way to start out the new school year," junior Emilia no Sanchez commented. by Lori Fox Gaspard show off their lunch boxes in the cafeteria during lunch time. Empty seats on a school bus await the return of students for the new school year. to Uniforms have been a rule at St. Albert since the op~ning of the school. But the 1991-92 school year has become more strict. Many students haven't been too happy with the crack down on the dress code. According to senior Krissy Lancia!, "Dress code was never that big of a problem before. Why should they start coming down on us now? It just seems so unfair that you should get in trouble for the littlest violation." At the beginning of the school year, many students were stopped in the hall when their skirts looked questionable. This consisted of a note card held up to the skirt which measured the length between the knee and the skirt. As senior Missy Schmida states, "I feel as though the underclassmen aren't carded as much as the seniors and juniors. We were made to be the examples for them and it didn't work." Being carded in the halls isn't the greatest feeling. "You feel kind of dumb because you think of all of the other people walking the halls with shorter skirts than yours and they're not being carded, you are," stated sophomore Katie Heithoff. Its not always the girls that are getting in trouble for the dress code. Often times it's the boys. "It doesn't bother me to wear a tie now that I am used to it, " saidsenior Nate Becerra. Not everyone thinks that the dress code is all bad. According to Mrs. Maryann Angeroth, "I think the skirt length was a good compromise, it shows that the administration has the willingness to be adaptable and change styles. I feel the changes are for th e better." =tL-4:.....Jr=== ear A dress code has its ups and downs, and everyone has their own opinion when it comes to discussing the issue. "I think that a dress code is better than not having one because it is easier to figure out what to wear, "stated senior Jason Gaspard. by Lori Fox Freshman Sharon Whetstone adds a new touch to the girls' uniform by wearing tights.

J Wearing the proper attire are seniors Rob Ruiz and Nick Conzemius and junior Jenny Hotz as they work on a homewor k assignment. "Dress code was never a problem before, why should they start coming down on us now?" -Krissy Lancial to Special This year's Homecoming spirit week was viewed as particualy successful by the students. The week consisted of 50-60s Biker day, Old Testament day, Cowboy /Indian day, and Dress Up day. "It was our last chance to get together as a class to promote school spirit. If you are going to do something, you should do it all out," senior Andrea Versaci stated. "The decorations were nice" said freshman Sara Kruse, "It gets you excited during the week so you can let it all out at the game. " Spirit-lifters included balloons in the hallways, the fight song played between cla sses, and the lyrics draped on the walls of the cafeteria. Sophomore Danny Stock agreed, saying, "Homecoming is a way to get rid of a lot of energy and be myself with my friends." Though the majority of the students dressed up for the week , there were still a few students that didn't go all out. Some wore outfits not even associa ted with the day or time period being celebrated . Lack of full participation forced th e administration to make stricter guidelines regarding the dress u p attire. These rules didn 't affect many stu - dents, but fo r some pu t a damper on the days' attire . "If Homecoming is s uppose to be fu n we should be able to go a ll out," sa id Kruse. Stock said "Since Homecoming week is like a prep week, We want the whole school to get pumped. There should only be limitations on those who choose not to participate." Even with the limitations put on the dress up days, the =:iL-6.....Jr=====- students and faculty felt there was a better tum out than in previous years. Not only did the school week go well, but the dance had a great tum out too. With Jacque Hughes as queen and Jeremy Kroll as king, Homecoming was a great success. by J enny Hotz Friends senior Andrea Versaci and junior Carolyn Gorman show off their Homecoming spirit dressed in their togas on Old Testament Day.

"Homecoming is a way to get rid of a lot of energy and be myself with my friends." -Danny Stock l·I Hard to Handle11 As the week of Homecoming came to a close, the week 's suspense of who would be kiilg and queen ended at Thursday night's pep rally. The annual Homecoming pep rally began Thursday night as ea ch grade competed against one another in various games. The senior class lived up to th eir expectations as they came out the clear victors of the evening. After a brief in troduction of the football players and performances from both the cheerleading and pompon squads, it was time for th e coronation. Homecoming court included seniors Andy Vanfossan, Missy Schmida, Tony Daley, Angie Christensen, Jacqu e Hugh es, Jeremy Kroll, Molly Malone, Kevin Mortensen , Jeanine Masker, Pete Thompson, Nikki Ravlin and Andy Turner. Former Homecoming royalty Mike Masker and Kari Hanafan had th e pleasure of crowning Kroll and Hughes as the 1991 Homecoming king and queen . The excitement contintu ed on Friday night where the attention was turned to the Falcon footba ll team as they took on Boystown in th e big Homecoming match up. Th e Falcons came ou t the victors, conquering the Cowboys in a thrilling 13 to 12 win. Saturday night was the Homecoming dance. The studen ts entered the gym decorated in accordance with the theme, "Hard to Handle". =1 8 According to studen t council president Missy Schmida, "We tried to make the dance more interesting by playing a wide variety of music.

"We tried to make the dance more interesting by playing a wide variety of music." -Missy Schmida -="'1...-9--lf== Can you use these words in a sentence .... NOT, WHATEVER, COOL BEANS, DIS or SWEET? There are those who still use the California surfer "dude" lauguage and the Valley girl talk that is "like totally awesome". Junior Phil Hasenkamp has the cornerstone on "sausage" and "waxin' the trax". Junior Corey Stock and his brother Danny, a sophomore, say "white bread" . "Groovy" is still "hip"- Not! This is the year when everything is "cool beans" to juniors Jenny Hotz and Wendy Larson. To junior Jenni Tobias, seriously or sarcastically, everything is"great" , "wonderful'', and "super". Senior Art Mendoza says "what's up", while others use senior Andrea Versaci's "yo" Glossary Dis - makin' somebody "like" mad. Not- I don't think so Sweet - the ideal White Bread - Nobody knows what it means - it's just one of those things - instead of hello. Senior Justin Morris fl,oes even further with "hey babe". Everyone says "whatever" and "sure". (What ever happened to 'just say no?" ) There's always the old reliables "terrific", "awesome" , and "cool". This is the time when "true blonde" and "butthead" are the ultimate insults and everything is either "sweet" or it's "dissed". When joking it's "p~yche" or sophomore Jamie Goebel's "kidding". Having a rough week? Are you suffering from, as Mendoza would say, homework "burnout"? Junior Chad Arnold would probably say "yeah, but.. " Do you just play it cool like junior Jenny Schmitz and say, "I know some stuff'. There is always senior Jenny McGinn, who uses "cheesy" to describe anything that she finds just a little too cute or happy. But don't worry - you can always calm yourself with junior J enny Christensen's reassuring and wise comment "don't fret", meaning you have a friend's h elp or someone is there for you. Of course there is always Stacy Mcintosh's "oh schmut" used to revise all those naughty words in the world. How a bout on those rough weekends wh en senior Robert Ruiz says, "I luuv you " or junior Patti Stephens requests "love me. " All in a ll , if you say "groovy" more than once a week and "cool" isn't part of your everyday vocabulary, you'd better call someone fast. by Becky Mich e ls Freshmen Meegan Engler, Joe Stuhr, Sara Kruse, Mike Reineke, Mandy Pearon, Alicia Sanchez, Nichole Heck, Ann Hansman, Kori Nielsen and Drew Evers pose - "What hams!" Junior Patti Stephens and senior Jenny McGinn are "cool." Sophomore Dl(lmy Stock begs, "No wait, wait!" Seniors Gary Woody, Josh Bracker, Shawn Shea and Jason Wanning s ay "cheese." Michele Konz and Carolyn. Gorman definitely are not "loners." Juniors Scott Smith and Jenny Hotz sign "Peace." 11 t== Affections to Share Frtends or something more? Here at St Albert we have a way of being known as "close knit", but where does the public display of affection stop; a hug, a wink, an occasional joke, a kiss on the cheek, or a pat on the hynie. Has society really changed that much compared to the past, or has affection always been there, and just now able to come out in public? There are many different opinions on this view. Mrs. Kathy Beckman, health and physical education teacher, states, "I think society actu a lly h as changed . When I was in high school and college, 'flower power' and 'free love' was in and there was a lot more affection displayed then than now." However, Mr. John Shorey, history teacher, has a different outlook on the situation. "I don't think society has changed that much. There was a lot more public dis play of affection when I was in school than now," but continues, "if there is less PDA in school it is better." Fifty high school students were polled at random and 62% though t PDA was more expressive in the past two years. Another 31 % say th ere is more in the present time, while 7% were undecided. When asked if the students thought there was more PDA in our small school than in a larger school, the majority said they felt that no, there was h ardly any. Th e reasons for them saying "no" were many different though ts. From, "the teachers will yell at you" to "I think it is just sick." In a small school, when do you know what PDA means? The whole situation in the eyes of someone 12f II--===- younger is different. "I feel as though hugging or showing some kind of affection towards someone we care about is acceptable and is nothing more than what you see." stated senior Nikki Ravlin. It is just an example of how times change in every generation and that every person s view on the situation is just a tad bit different. by Terrt Petratis Showing a little embarrassment is sophomore Erin Fuchser as she receives a hug from her sweetheart sophomore Tony Mauer. Senior Josh Bracker and junior Wendy Larson, who are just buddies, display their friendship during lunch. PDA between friends of the opposite sex is often mistaken for more than friendly affection. PDA (public display of affection) can include things such as hand holding, hugging, kissing and touching. Most students at S.A. felt PDA was not a problem at school now, but was a concern in the past. Friends, sophomore Shawn Avise and junior Richelle Wilson, take tim e out for a quick hug bewteen classes. PDA is not a common sight in the halls of St. Albert. "I don't think society has changed ... if there is less PDA in school it is better." -John Shorey 13 t= Something to Do St. Albert students spend a lot of time dedicating themselves to schoolwork and extra -ciricular activities. However, the ringing of the 3 o'clock bell and the end of practice marks the start of the heavily anticipated nightlife. After-school "festivities" vary among St. Albert students. The agenda is usually dependent on age, or whether or not the student has a car. When asked what her activities consisted of, junior Myndi Straka said, "We usually just drive up and down Broadway, wandering around, sometimes I hit Burger King for something to eat. " Straka feels her activities are quite a bit different from those of others because, "some people wouldn't be caught dead driving around." Underclassmen aren't as free to choose what they do on weekends, simply because they don't usually have their driver's license. However, they're still perfectly capable of turning their afterschool hours into times of fun. Freshman Ann Hansman said, "I go out with friends, usually to Michala Haynie's. Then we just trash the place, and eat all of her food." When asked if sh e though t what she did at night was a big contrast from other people, she said , "Yes, becau se Michala makes it fun. " People often generalize teens and assume they all do the same thing after school and on weekends. Unfortunately, these assumptions are often for th e worst. For example, some think that rowdiness and alcohol are always a part of their activities. ::=3L,_1_4 ..,J-==-=== Senior Art Mendoza proves this thought to be very untrue. "I usually study or lift weights. I find anything that will keep me out of trouble." Whether it be finding a party or as sophomore Josh Gubbels says, "Doing what my friends want to do - usually going to a movie," SA students keep busy at night. by Patti Steph en s Juniors Jerome Patten and Dan Nieland spend their night just hanging out with friends. Sophomores Ryan Shea, Jill Konz, Valerie Graeve and Brad Krohn prepare to paint the town red in celebration of their newly granted licenses to drive. Many sophomores were seen out and about as the second semester came to a close. Senior Robert Ruiz displays his trademark tongue as classmate Chad Standard relieves much of the stress built up from final's week. Junior Emiliano Sanchez, senior Sarah Hobbins, junior Chad Arnold , s enior Lori Fox and junior John Hromodka gather at the McGinn h ouse to celebrate t he end of final's week. 11 I usually study or lift weights. I find anything that wi 11 keep me out of trouble. " -Art Mendoza 15 F= Rententber 1991 was a year many of us will Qever forget. As with any year, there were political issues debated, el~ctions lost and won, wars, entertainment, and scandals. Diseases were fought and battlefields were created, both of which touched close to home. Movies and music reached a new high, and fashion is found going in a circle, with nostalgic looks back in style. Perhaps the biggest, if not the most dynamic, occurance of autumn of 1991 was the fall of Communism in the Soviet Union. After five years of reform, Soviets were able to celebrate their freedom after the arrest of their leader, Mikhail Gorbachev, in the summer. Sexual harrassment became a n even bigger issue as college professor Anita Hill charged Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas of harrassment in the workplace eight years after the occurence. What Thomas referred to as a "high-tech lynching" prompted many women to s peak out against sexual h arrassment. This was the year for a presidential campaign to b egin. Candidates varied , including former Ku Klux Klan member David Duke, who lost in the race for governor of Louisiana yet proceeded to run for pres i~ ent. Frightening as it may seem, his policy that underpriveleged whites in the South are the real victims of predjudice cau sed him to earn s upport from more than a few (top left) Earvin "Magic" Johnson announced his retirement from basketball in early November.

As a nation, we recovered from the War in the Gulf as soldiers returned home or. unfortunate ly. were buried. Hussein remains in power, however the fighting is over. AlDS continues as a horrible threat to society as more and more cases are reported yearly . One of the NBA's greatest players, Earvin "Magic" Johnson, announced in early November that h e t ested HIV positive. This n ews was a huge blow to many, and a rude awakening that anyone can get AIDS. On a lighter note, this year had much to offer from the entertainment world. Perhaps the most popular TV show among students was the Fox Network's "Beverly Hills 90210". Each Thursday night, St. Albert students tuned in to the popular teen drama. Some of the most popular movies of the school year included Jonathan Demme's "Sil n ee of the Lambs "', Arnold Swartzenager in "Termina tor 2 ", and Bruce Willis and Damon Wayans in "The Last Boy Scout" (despite bad reviews, many high school students enjoyed this movie). Music of the year included longawaited releases from Guns-n -Roses, Metallica , a nd a box set from Ae rosmith. Paula Abdul's "Spellbound'" was popula r, as well as groups from the past s u ch as the Grateful Dead and Led Zeppelin. These nine months spent in school are only a frac tion of the lives of students at St. Albert. This year students experienced bits and pieces of the past, through entertainment as well as th rough foriegn and domestic government issu es. Maybe history really does re peat itself. by J enny McGinn p On August 19, 1991, the coup in the Soviet Union began with the overthrow of President Mikhail S. Gorbachev.

Besides sports, there are many scholastic and artistic activities to be involved in. Some students who are involved in art or band take time outside of the classroom to perfect their talents. Students who wish to excercise their brains may be involved in the Academic Decathalon or the Brain Bowl. Christianity can shine through those who participate in the liturgy committee or are Eucharistic ministers. For those dramatic talents out there, there are plays and speech contests to enter. National Honor S ociety members must be active in volunteering their time. Many choose to be involved in one or many of these activities, and may even include a sport or two along the way. These activities deserve recognition for their hard work, just as sports do. Come to think of it, there are a lot of similarities. A good asset to have, both on the stage and on the court, is teamwork. Everything would eventually fall apart if not for that. by Janna Hicks 19 F= There are many different reasons as to why SOil].eone might volunteer to be a Eucharistic Minister or be on the Liturgy Committee. This year, there are 14 Eucharistic Ministers, compared to 10 last year. But what makes a person want to partake in this activity? For some, it's a chance to be involved in the church. others became Ministers just to say they did it. But according to senior Kevin Mortensen, "Last year there were a lot of respected people. Also it's a chance to show leadership. " The job of a Eucharistic Minister is to distribute communion during school masses. In order to prepare for their task, the 14 seniors attended a class taught by Fr. Bud where they learned what exactly the Eucharist was and, "how to offer it reverently," said Fr. Bud. Preparing for mass is the job of the Liturgy Committee. Membership on the committee has more than doubled since last year. Selecting music and the theme of the liturgy, along with ushering, reading and singing are all jobs the Liturgy Committee takes care of. Decorating, which includes designing banners and programs is an additional task of the commitee. Each job must be taken seriously if the group wants to achieve the goal of a successful mass, and every job is equally important. "We work well as a group," said junior Jenni Tobias. With all these responsibilities, one might wonder why so many people are interested in the Liturgy Committee. Some are involved just to have something to do , while others joined for fun. "I wanted to be more involved in school and God is the basis for our school, " said 20 senior Angie Christensen. Ms. Machmuller, who helps with the planning, added. "More people wanted to make the Liturgy more meaningful for the rest of the student body." "I wanted to do something for the school and since we are a Catholic school, I thought the Liturgy Committee would be a good place·to start," said Tobias. by Amber Ausdemore Senior Rich Swank administers Communion during the Homecoming Mass to sophomore Michelle Kroll.

Juniors Sara Kinart and Amber Ausdemore shed blood, sweat, and tears while preparing for the All Saints Day Mass. Due to the November 1 snow day the mass was cancelled . Ms. Deb McGuire, Fr. Bud, and Ms. Machmuller take time out from planning masses to pose for the camera. Because of their dedication and hard work, masses were a success. "Last year there were a lot of respected people, also it's a chance to show leadership." -Kevin Mortensen 21 t= Attend Some of the most important things that corrie with attending a Catholic School aren't always recognized. "Here we get the chances to do a lot of different things, and we sometimes take advantage of them," said junior Wendy Larson. Everyone at St. Albert knows there is a mass each morning, but when was the last time that you took time out of your morning to stop in, just to be different, or try something new for a change? Why do you think you would need to be forced into going, by a coach on game day? Maybe this has never crossed your mind, or maybe you 're just too ashamed to show up. But wouldn't you think that by going to a Catholic school, students would acknowledge this privilege, and show up for mass just once in a while? When it comes to those big masses that need planning, Fr. Bud isn't always a lone. He has volunteer students on liturgy committee that are always around to help him plan out a mass. They help him decide what songs to sing, decorations and banner designs. With their input about past events in school and outside of school, Fr. Bud will base his homily. "When it comes to a Catholic schools masses, it's nice to know th at you can be of help. It makes going to the mass a lot more interesting," said junior J enny Christensen. Even though the morning masses don't see a lot of students, =:JL_2_2..r.= - it does't seem to bother Fr. Bud too much. "It's really just a nice way to start your day. " said Bud. Maybe that's the problem with us, we don't know the real way to start our day. " by Jenny Schmitz Fr. Bud explains the reasons for reconciliation at the junior/senior prayer senrice in December. Senior Robert Ruiz shares communion with Coach Marshall Scichilone at the St. Albert Feast Day Mass on November 25. SA students from the elementtirY and intermediate buildings joined the entire high school studeJlt body for the ceremony. Liturgy Committee members seniors Anne Holder, Missy Schmida and Rich Swank lend a helping hand during the Homecoming Mass. Grades 9 - 12 attended that September Mass. Bishop Bullock, Father Fred Cornwell and Father Bud Grant lead the SA student body in the Feast Day Mass. A total of seven clergy joined Father Bud in celebrating Mass. "It's a • nice way to start your day." -Father Bud 23 l=== CrcatiVity to Explore Art is something special to many kids at St. Albert. The way the art department works is very simple. One can join or take the class any year of high school - there are even seniors that take art for only one year, or maybe even a semester. For the first open house of the year, the art students from all levels display their art in the hall ways. Students in Art 1, concentrate on the basics su ch as color wh eels, valu e ch arts and developing creativity. Art 2 students work on sketching and the values of blending and drawing more still life objects. Art 3 involves Batik, a dying technique, printing and being creative with a ceiling tile from the a rt room. Art 4 is more on the lines of the individual creativity students have developed in th e previou s three years. The art department is also noted for designing program covers for concerts. masses, and many of the bulletin boards and signs hanging in the halls. In the past few years, students have had the opportunity to enter the Scholastic Art Award competition. This competition has awarded $200,000 in cash, scholarships and prizes for those who have entered in the past. Students at SA have been recognized in the Scholastic Art competition in the past. One student was awarded the high est honor, a gold key, as well as displaying h er work. Senior Krissy Lancial, who is enrolled in Art 1. said " It (art class) class) also made me realize that art is not just drawing, it is learning about colors and a lot of hard work. " Shawn Shea, a senior in art four said, "Art hasn't just been a class that teaches me to draw or be creative. It was an uplifting experence for my whole high school life". That credit goes to Ms. McGuire." by Terri Petratis Ms. McGuire looks over the work of sophomores Pat Conzemius and Gwen Gruber during art. Junior Brian Cihacek gets the exact measurement, while sophomore Gina Gentile compares her colors for the color wheel. Doing a color wheel is a large task to take on, a basic skill for any level art class. Decisions, decisions, decisions.... Ms. McGuire helps senior Robert Ruiz choose the correct shades and tints for his color wheel. Sophomores Arny Davis and Gin a Gentile work on their a rt projects. Art c lass was a chan ce t o show creativity and imagination. " ... art class is not just drawing-it's learning about colors and a lot of hard work." -Krissy Lancial '---... ,-~·- 25 t== Rough draft to Masterpiece What about this yearbook!? Who put it together?· Who wrote all the stories and took all the pictures? Credit goes to the Journalism 1 and 2 students who worked hard throughout the year getting everything together to meet those dreaded deadlines. Journalism is divided into two sections, Journalism 1, first year students, and Journalism 2 , second year students. Journalism 1 consists of learning the basics. As junior Amber Ausdemore said, "at first we take a lot of notes, which help us perfect our writing techniques," while Journalism 2 already knows this. Senior Jenny McGinn said, "There's more of a work load, and we're expected to know what to do. " Some people may think Journalism is a pretty easy going class because as senior Lori Fox said, "in this class you're kind of on your own. You do your own thing, and make sure you meet the deadlines. " There is a lot of independence, but also a lot of responsibility to meet deadlines. When asked why people joined the class, the responses were pretty much the same. Ausdemore said , "I've a lways liked the yearbooks and I wanted to be a part of them," while McGinn said, "I enjoy writing and photography. I plan to go into journalism as a profession." When the term marketing comes up in Journalism, it most likely involves selling ads. Students go around to different businesses and try to persuade them to buy a space in the yearbook or newspaper to advertise th eir business. =:3L_2_e_,..~~ Layouts put everything together - getting the stories to fit in the space provided and figuring out what size the pictures must be. Journalism is a challenging and rewarding experience. As Fox said, "You are creating this book that you're apart of. You made it, it's your work, and that's a neat feeling." by Jenny Christensen Junior Phil Hasenkamp gets all dressed up to go sell yearbooks while juniors Jenny Christensen and Molly Morrison stand by. The journalism staff consists of front row: Kyle Evans and Phil Hasenkamp. Second row: Myndi Straka, Amber Ausdemore, Jenny Schmitz and Jenny Christensen. Third row: Angel Bernemann, Stacy Mcintosh, Wendy Larson, Sarah Hobbins and Molly Morrison. Back row: Becky Michels, Jenni Tobias, Patti Stephens, Jenny Hotz, Nikki Ravlin, Terri Petratis, Jenny McGinn, Lori Fox, Janna Hicks and Brenda Walter. Seniors Jenny McGinn and Janna Hicks work on journalism stories and prove the new computers to be not only very useful but also userfriendly. This year the entire yearbook was done on the computers. Miss Hoff devotes her time to helping Journalism 1 students with their layouts. "In this class you're kind of on your own. You do your own thing, and make sure you meet the deadlines." -Lori Fox 27 F== Something to Sing About Because of th~ir small size, the St. Albert band and choir are often overlooked. But that is beginning to change. The band is headed by Mr. Leeka, a new teacher, while the choir is lead by Mrs. Stephany, another new teacher to S.A. The choir sings at all the Masses and at the Christmas and Spring concerts. Beside their class duties, both instuctors helped with the production of "Do Black Patent Leather Shoes Really Reflect Up?" in the fall. The concert band consists of 20 players from the Jr. High. There is no high school band as of yet, but the future seems promising as the younger players come into high school. The band also played an important part at the spring talent show. Mr. Leeka a lso teaches band for grades four through six, and he says, "There are many talented students on the way up. " As for the choir, some of their goals are to develop fine singing voices the whole school and the general public can be proud of. Mrs. Stephany stated , "One our goals is to make the St. Albert Concert Choir something the stu - dents want to be pa rt of." The music ranges from pop to Christian rock and from easy list en - ing to inspirationa ls. The choir meets during fifth period on Tuesdays, Thursdays, a nd Fridays. On Mondays, th e girls meet alone while the boys h ave a study hall, and the boys meet a lone on Wednesdays while the girls h ave a study hall. The Pop Ch oir meets during 08 on Tuesdays. Th e choir even got to participate in the All-City Music Festival held at Abraham Lincoln High School. The Concert Choir consists of nine people, Pop Choir eight people and seventh and eighth choir has 11 people. There is beginning to be a brighter outlook for the music programs at S.A. by J enni Tobias Mrs. Stephany, in her first year at St. Albert, plays the piano in rehearsal for the next performance. Sophomore Gwen Gruber learns that practic e makes perfect ·as she rehearses for her next performance . Sophomores Crista Cihacek, Maria Kay, Angie Spitznagle, Amy Spitznagle, freshman Becci Wilson and junior Richelle Wilson practice hitting their high notes in choir practice. Students practiced during 08 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The choir listens patiently while Mrs. Stephany gives instructions on the notes they should be hitting throughout the song. The choir made its first debut during the Homecoming Mass in September. "One of our goals is to make the choir something the students want to be a part of." -Mrs.Stephany to Expand Students at Saint Albert are given the opportunity to be a member of an intellectual organization called the Academic Decathlon. The organization creates a positive school image, changes the students attitudes and creates academic role models. The team consists of nine fulltime students from the eleventh and or twelfth grades of the same high school. Each team is made up of three Honor roll students, three Scholastic students and three Varsity students as indicated by grade point average, Honor 3. 75- 4.00 GPA; Scholastic 3.00-3. 74 GPA; Varsity 0.00-2.99 GPA; according to the Academic Decathlon study guide. Contestants may compete in a higher division than their own GPA category but not in a lower division. Matt Barton stated, "I became a member for the comrodery, for the knowledge. And it looks good on different applications." Members meet once a week in 08 and discuss certain topics such as science, language and literature, Fine Arts and economics, speech es, essays and interviews. Each team member competes in all 10 events of the Decathlon and is eligible for individual medals in all 10 events. Only six scores count for the final team standing in the competitionthe top two Honor scores, the top two Scholastic scores, and the top two Varsity scores. Senior Janna Hicks commented "It takes a lot of committment and you must enjoy tackling difficult subject matters." Academic Decathlon it's not a club just for the honor roll students, but anyone who is interested can become a member. Team members are seniors Janna Hicks, Matt Barton, Kyle Wandersee, Rich Swank, Justin Morris, Tony Daley, Rob Ruiz and juniors are Erin Walsh, Angel Bernemann, Cari Biede, Emily Howlett. Becky Michels, and Megan Birkhofer. by Nikki Ravlin Mrs. Helen Wise and senior Rich Swank show how much fun Academic Decathalon is.

Senior Rich Swank gives two thumbs up to the Academic Decathlon as teammates seniors Kyle Wandersee and Janna Hicks and junior Angel Bernamann concentrate. Juniors Angel Bernamann, Cari Biede and Erin Walsh h a\re second thoughts about what they've gotten themselves into at an Academic Decathlon meeting. "It takes a lot of commitment and you must enjoy tackling difficult subject matters." -Janna Hicks 31 to Display Have you ever wondered what Student Council does? After all, they are the voice of the student body. They are often overlooked by all of us, and even by the administration at times. How much power does the council actually have? Junior class psresident Chad Arnold said, "We really don't have that much power to change things. The administration usually just hears what we have to say, but isn't generally influenced by our opinions." One of the things the Council does is picking up the pop cans. Each quarter, a different class is chosen to cash in the cans, and with the money, they will all buy something for the school that everyone can enjoy. Every year, the junior class works with parents on the prom committee. Together, they choose the theme, location, and post-prom activities for the juniors and seniors. Senior Missy Schmida, student council president, has been on the Council for all four years. She said, "It's a lot of work, especially around Homecoming, because we sponsor the dance. We also decorate the school for Christmas. Before school even starts, we welcome the new students to our school." Student Council sponsor, Mrs. Maryann Angeroth said, "They all work very well with each other, as well as working very hard at what they do." Senior Jenny McGinn sums up the student council like this, "A lot of times we get off track at our meetings, but we mean well, and we do get a lot of things accomplished." So next time you need someone to help you speak out on an issue, think of going to the Student Council for help. After all, they are there to help our student body get what they need. by Jenni Tobias Junior Michele Konz and freshman Ann Narmi decorate the school for Christmas.

"They all work very well with each other as well as working very hard at what they do." -Mrs. Angeroth 3 3 l== SCl1ool to Stage This year, as in years past, St. - Albert drama and speech have become more pop~lar and more successful. These qualities are present due to the hard-working individuals that are members of the International Thespian Society. Members of the society include President Andrea Versaci, senior, Vice-president Stacy Mcintosh, junior, Secretary Tina O'Brien, senior, and Treasurer Erin Walsh, junior. Other members of the society are sophomores Danny Stock and Kelly Walsh, juniors Dan Nieland and Becky Michels, and senior S1.lzanne Sillik. Mr. Fred Wilson, literature and speech teacher, is the group's sponsor. Members of the Thespian Society perform a number of tasks both in and out of school. "They help put on school productions, but also participate in other theatrical events in and around the community," said Wilson. "We help backstage with plays, too," sa id Versaci. When asked what actually got her interested in speech and drama, Versaci said , "My a unt was an a ctress, and she did a lot of theatrica l work, and she got me involved." Of course it's not family tr adition that makes the Thespians able to perform as they do . It takes a lot of hard work, and as Mr. Wilson says, "a flair or energy. They need the ability to deal with people, and meet them head-on." In order to become part of the International Thespian Society, actors and actresses, as well as speech contestants, mu st accumulate a certain amount of poin ts. These points are earned each time they perform. Mr. Wilson considers becoming a part of the Society a great honor. "It's a membership they can 34 take to college or to any other theatrical endeavor. It speaks well for a person and is something to be quite proud of. " St. Albert's group of Thespians can do nothing more than to be proud. Their hard work and dedication shows, and will be a memorable part of the school for time to come. by Patti Stephens Junior Carolyn Gorman rehearses the one-act play "Alky", which received three l's at State competition.

Back row: Erin Walsh, Tina O'Brien, Stacy Mcintosh, Becky Michels. Front row: Carolyn Gorman, Andrea Versaci, Danny Stock, and Kelly Walsh. Mr. Wilson explains the importance of theatre arts at St. Albert. More and more people are beginning to see what a wonderful opportunity it is to participate in theatre arts. Students pay close attention during a meeting while Mr. Wilson explains the details about speech contest. Some of the different events students could enter were Reader's Theater, Choral Reading, mime, One-Acts and others. "It (the group) speaks well for a person and is something to be quite proud of," -Mr. Wilson 35 F== I lead to Toe National Honor Society- some believe it's a club for the smart, but it's more than that to others. NHS is made up of students who prove themselves to be well-rounded people not only in school but in the community as well. Members of NHS must excel in the areas of character, leadership, scholarship, and service. Members are expected to have a 3.25 cumulative grade point average, volunteer hours, while also being active in the school and community. In the role of leadership, the student doesn't have to be in an elected position, but must show signs of leadership in what they do. NHS provides a lot of things to its members and others as well. Not only does it look good for college, but members dedicate a lot of time and services to the public and St. Albert whether it be helping at handicapped or drug DARE camps, teaching dance lessons, such as senior Angie Christensen, or doing parish work. The honor of being in the NHS is one that is saved until students meeting the requirements are at least sophomores. Reasons vary for why people want to be in NHS. Some feel NHS is a good thing to have on a college application. Others, including sponsor Mrs. Swartz, believe it is a good way to recognize and award students for their time and work given to St. Albert and the communtiy. Mrs. Swartz said it is a difficult balance and those who do and do it well deserve it. No matter what reason students want to join, one prominent factor seems to be agreeable with the most of the 25 current members. All of them did what was required of them ==t 36 not because they want to be in this group, but because it was natural. As Senior Kevin Mortensen explained he didn't do what was asked of him because he wanted to be in NHS he said "I just tried to be myself.

One week before the fall musical, "Do Black Patent Leather Shoes Really Reflect Up?" was scheduled to premiere, the school board reviewed the script and found it objectionable. This action was due to parents confronting the school board at a meeting about the subject matter of the play. The script supposedly was to be a satire of Catholic schools in the 50's and 60's but some had a different point of view, finding it to be a mockery of the Catholic education and faith. Though the cast was stopped dead in their tracks by the news, they never once lost their "shine". Not wanting to let six weeks of memorizing lines and perfecting their vocals go to waste, an agreement was made to delete a few minor parts that were found offensive and the musical was once again on. A performance was shown to the high school students in the afternoon and by invita tion only that same night. J u nior Stacy Mcintosh and sophomore Danny Stock filled the positions of the major leads, while others su ch as seventh graders Nikki Zaccone, Becky Netter, and Colin O'Toole, eighth grad - ers Gina Roane, McClain Smouse, and Tony Fisher, freshman Na te O'Toole, sophomore Kelly Wa ls h , juniors Becky Michels and Erin Wals h and senior Andrea Versaci contributed an important part in the making of the musical. The humorous and realistic portrayal of Catholic schools th a t once used to be was seen as a "delightful comment on the elementary and secon - dary education of the Catholic school experience," said drama teacher, Mr. ~L..:3:.8..J-===-= Fred Wilson. Putting the controversy and conflict aside, the musical , in general, "showed us that things will never be the same as they were in school and there's some people we never want to forget," Versaci said. by Angel Bememann Sharing a moment together, sophomore Danny Stock tells junior Stacy Mcintosh what he hopes will become of their relationship.

It's a really good story to which kids can relate. The sprtng play "Ordinary People" is a very down to earth production. Mr. Wilson, the director, said, "My main reason for doing this play is because I've seen it done before, and it was done so well, it's very powerful." All we will see is the finished product, but there's so much more that's put into it. First the director must choose a play, then it's time for auditions and casting the rtght people to the rtght parts. Memorizing lines comes next, and it seems like a big job. Junior Emiliano Sanchez said, "Memorizing the lines isn't too bad, delivertng them is the hard part." Backrounds and props are done by the whole cast, and during the production Tina O'Brten works on the lights. This play is full of new members that have not had expertence in drama before, but Wilson said, "They're doing very well, and they're growing, it's great fun." Student director, Becky Michels, said, ''They're good, the people he chose all have a lot of talent." "Ordinary People" is about a teenage boy, Conrad Jarrett, who just lost his older brother in a terrible accident. Conrad's family seems to be falling apart and he feels he can't do anything about it. They are all "ordinary people" whose lives are filled with much trauma. So, why did so many new people try out for this play? Chad Arnold said, "I always had an interest and thought it would be fun-- something new. " Not only that, but Arnold also said , "The story deals 40 to Learn with issues going on today, real life problems. The pressures - are the same as today." This has a lot to do with the popularity of this particular play . "Ordinary People" was a production consisting of a wide vartety of cast and crew members. Because of this, the play was a great success. by Jenny Chrtstensen Joe (Mike Patee) struggles to gain back his friendship with Conrad (Danny Stock).

But years from now, each person who bought a copy of this yearbook will look back and see the people they grew up with, and, even though now it may seem trivial to most of us, these are the pe o ple with whom we followed patterns. Normally on this page, which in t roduces the individual photos, the writer states tho s e things which distinguish one cl ass from the other. For e xample, it is usually menti o n ed that the biggest e vent of the so phomore year is the granting of licenses. This fact, although true, is not the only pattern seen in those nine months of our lives we call the tenth grade. A lot of changes take pla ce during this tim e, cha nges that affect fri end - sh ips, grades, inte r e sts and activities. The p a tt erns we follow and the experien ces we s hare a re all a part of life at S t . Albert. This is what makes our patterns different from those of other schools. H i gh s chool is o nly a fraction of our lives, but from the first sample of Ho 1necoming festivities to graduation ni g h t, this fraction plays a big part in what kind of individual we become. Often, peop le say high s chool goes very fast, however these are u sually the p eople who have long since gra d u a ted and have a lrea dy made it th r ough a dditional yea rs of sch ool or wo rk. Keep in mind, though, that t h e s e are the people who have a lrea dy been thr ough it all, and look back on their yearbook to see the patterns they once followed.

Freshman are offered a number of classes to choose from. As a freshman , the required classes are English , world h istory, h ealth , Typing 1, physical scien ce, s peech, faith and Old Testament. The studen ts may choose a math course of th eir choice. Eight electives are offe red and the students are to choose two credits. Electives are as follows: Art 1, Spanish 1, h ome economics, concert band, concert chior and semina r . Some classes may need teacher a pproval. Freshman Tommy Hugh es said , "I feel as thou gh th e class selection is just fine for me!" From another point of view, Dan Busch feels as th ou gh , "Th ere are not many classes to choose from ." Whatever the case, we have all experienced th e pain and agony of signing u p for classes. One of the biggest events freshman look forward to is th a t first "real" dance. Remember wh at t h ose good ol' junior high dances where boys stood on one side and girls on th e oth er. It was s u ch a crazy idea to get up en ough nerve to ask someone special to dance.

But what better way to start vacation, with the Christmas Dance. Even though the night was clear and no snow was falling, it was a Christmas Dance full of excitment and Christmas spirit. This year the dance was voted informal, opposed to years before. "It was more of a relaxed atmosphere because we weren't informal," stated sophomore Arny Davis. Others agreed with Arny. "It's such a hassle to find a formal dress and since Prom is formal, it gives you something to look forward to, " senior Nikki Ravlin commented. According to senior Chad Graeve, "Th e music was much better and it was easier to get down. But I feel that they should provide us with beverages." Dancing and working up a sweat does make you thirsty so maybe in the future they will serve beverages. The dance was different from years past but those changes were for the better and everyone seemed to enjoy it. by Lori Fox Seniors Nikki Ravlin, Molly Malone, and Lori Fox take time out to pose for a picture at the Christmas Dance.

"College credit courses are harder because they have more demanding requirements," Poole added. But what happens when you don't have much time at all to do your homework? Some try to get all the hard classes in before graduation, like with chemistry, advanced biology, algerbra 2 , to name a few. Others, find different classes like psychology, government, and geometry. Classes aren't the only things on juniors' minds this year. They have tests to think about. like the ACT, SAT, and the PSAT. The ACT is one of the most important and hardest tests to take during the junior year. Some take it as a challenge, but others are thinking about the future. Now you know it pays to work hard your freshman and sophomore years, so all you have to do is work your way up the ladder to graduation. by Brenda Walter Left: Just a few books and brochures available in Mr. Bragg's office to help prepare a student for college.

In planning for their senior year, juniors also need to start deciding such things as what field of work they're interested in, and future plans. Junior Anne Lainson said , " A year of college, or just work after high school," is what she sees in her future. Others are going to go to college for a career or are thinking of taking other steps which might be needed to reach their future goals. Junior Brian Fischer said that he was thinking about how neA't year he would have to apply to colleges, and get all the classes he needed in hopes of being accepted.

These times the senior class has shared will remain in their memories forever, despite the fact that there are so many things to look back on ... As far back as kidnergarten, senior Molly Malone recalls "trading shoes during naptime and putting them on the wrong feet." Grade school flew by, and new students came and old friends went. Middle school brought square dancing in P.E. class, sex education classes, and those big newspapers and crucial student council meetings. ''The battle of the sexes is what I'll always remember about sixth grade," commented senior Rich Swank. This was the year of boys against girls in everything from base soccer to who got called on first in class. This final year before junior high was taken seriously by more than a few members of the class of '92. Senior Missy Schmida reflected, ''I'll never forget how much we hated each other." Junior high came a nd went, slower for some than others as "ugly stages" took their toll. It was here that junior high dances were more than just ice breakers, as tension was still very existent between some classmates. As high school began, braces came off (slowly but surely) and the concept of social events changed drastically. Dating was never a big topic wouldn't have so much as looked among this class, since the guy to girl at each other in sixth grade are ratio is two to one. Dances became a going to movies and sporting big event involving one member of each events together. Fr.

There is an apparent difference in outlook if those images are compared between, let's say, a twelve-year-old just starting junior high and a seventeen or eighteen-year-old graduating from high school. It is amazing to compare the differences between the two. High school was the farthest thought from the minds of the seniors when they first entered junior high. It was such a change . . . lockers, bells to change classes .. . all was new, and it felt as if the future was finally reached. Now the seniors are faced with a new future, whether it be college, the armed forces, or work. That is what makes planning so necessary, and it took some seniors their whole year to plan what they were going to do after their high school graduation. As Frank Roane said, "I knew 62 ""'i-==-= Shane Nielsen from the day I was born that I was going to pe a farmer."

When a class graduates, they are only getting a little taste of what is yet to come in their hopefully full lives. They say that graduation is not an end but the beginning of meeting new people, having new experiences, and possibly starting fresh in new surroundings. Everything is new, and rightfully so, for the seniors have basically been in the same comfortable surroundings for the past four years. For some reason, graduation is a passage into responsibility. More is expected from the seniors, not only concerning work or school, but more maturity is almost required. Some seniors had a little fun before they had to leave St. Albert for the final time and jump into uncharted territory. Seniors Justin Pekny, Ramsey J abro, Pete Thompson, and Andy Vanfossan had a little fun with the uniform requirement by making a trip to the Goodwill and purchasing "lovely" shirts and pants in a multitude of colors. When asked why he felt the need to dress so hideously, Jabro replied , "We just wanted to be different because we had been wearing dress clothes for four years. It was kind of a way of getting by the system." On the last official day of school, some seniors h eaded over to Kevin Mortensen's home to share in the joy of leaving. Mortensen provided a fire, and the other students provided the material to burn. Many burned notebooks and folders and watched in extreme pleasure as they went up in flames. Others burned items that are synonymous with St. Albert: the 66 beloved plaid skirts, ties. and the popular handbook. This event was also shared with the public when Channel 1 7 came and recorded the fun. No one will forget the good times that were had here a t St. Albert. Four years are hard to just forget. Now the seniors look forward now, looking for new things to discover. They say to not look back, but it is inevitable . It is a sure b et that there will b e a few seniors looking over their s houlders.

" The night that all seniors look forward to had finally come and the class of '92 was full of excitement. The gym was decorated and the seniors were ready to say their final good-byes. As the class of '92 marched in to "Pomp and Circumstance" they experienced many different feelings and emotions. As for Senior Justin Morris, "As I walked down that path to my future, 1 was feeling incredibly relieved that I ended one chapter of my life. I was overjoyed because I knew it had not ended but was ju st begining." As valedictorian s Peter Thompson and Matt Ba rton gave their speeches, many students realized tha t this would be the last time the whole class wou ld be together. While Barton's speech stressed the importance of cherishing .the past and holding on to memories shared as a class, Thompson's was quite the contrary. Usin g quotes from a valedictorian address in the 1987 movie "Say Anything" , Thompson emphasized living life beyond high school. Using the sense of h umor he is known for, Thompson told his fellow gradu ates to look ahead, not behind , and advised them to "never take anything too seriou sly." The senior class took this advice to heart, an d right up to the very end. 'Tm Free", a song from the Soup Dragons' 1988 album "Lovegod" was used as the recessional. While most classes u sed sentimental or more serious songs to finish th eir gradu - ation, this graduation ended on a high n ote, so to speak. Graduation wa s a sad time for this class of sixty students, many of which have attended school together since day one. "A lot has happened in thirteen years," commented senior Shane Nielsen.

Most students come to school everyday without fully appreciating what our faculty has to put_ up with-us. They have their bad days just like us, yet they're still able to put up with the attitudes, the late papers, the excuses. We probably go home thinking that we're the only people with a life outside of school. Many of the teachers here have special relationships with their co-workers, as well as with some students. Ms. McGuire lives with Ms. Oatman, and they, "do lots together. After games, we get together and get sornething to eat." McGuire is also friends with several students here, especially with her art four =la......:..:...r~~ students. She stated, 'Tve b ecome very good friends with Rob Ruiz. I've come to depend on Tina O'Brien a lot this year, too." With any job, there are many likes and dislikes, but, h ere at S.A. , the likes out weigh the dislikes. As the years have progressed, many teachers feel that the atmosphere has become more positive, the attitudes are more upbeat. We can depend on teachers for advice, and someone to look up to for guidance. by Jenni Tobias Below left: Ms. Machmuller, Mrs, Angeroth and Miss Hoff usually spend their lunch hours in the teacher lunch room.

Hard work, dedication, stress, devotion these words all describe our administration. The school's administrators are the rule makers, rule enforcers, decision makers, and over seers that keep St. Albert in order. The administration consists of Msgr., Chamberlain, Dr. Avise , Mr. Jaworski, Mr. Bragg, Mrs. Wandersee, and Mr. Scichilone. More times th an n ot, a dministra tors are s een a s a studen t's enemies. However, more then we know or ca re to believe, our administrators do wha t's best for the student body. The rules are for our benefit. This school year a lot of new teachers and faculty came to St. Albert. "We did a good job of selecting staff to join us this past year. The people we brought in h ave the potential to be outstanding educators, " said Dr. A vise. Another less pleasant job of the administrators is that of giving demerits. They are given for uniforms, tardies, food in the academic wings, and other violations of the handbook and are given many times a day. This isn't a pleasant job , but someone h as to do it. "I've gotten a lot of demerits for my skirt. I don't think its fair, but I gu ess that's the rule ," said sophomore J ess Brown. We all see our group of admin istrators around school, but school is only about 75% of th eir life. But wh a t they do with the other 25%? Look aroun d a t every game, meet , and school function.

Throughout the past 27 years, we have seen state championships in basketball, baseball, and track, as well as numerous victories in other sports. We have witnessed the start of sports programs such as swimming and soccer, and the end of others. As the years go by, sports a re seen as a place for students to excel outside of the classroom. These extra -curricular activities provide a way for St. Albert to be acknowledged in the community outside of the academic world. The way we display our pride in teams, su ch as the sta te champions, reflects the pride we have in ourselves and alumni. Traditions have always b een present at St. Albert, and these traditions are always apparent in atheletics. As we see memb ers of families, whether they be siblings or different generations, u se their abilities and talents to their fullest, it is obvious that these atheletes carry tradition within their families as well as the school. The records they break and the goals they reach are pa tterns in themselves, and the only difference between these patterns and the patterns seen within this book is this: these are patterns we try to break out of. 75 Spirits to Raise Falcons get up on your feet . . . .

The right attitude, hard work, and drive is what makes the St. Albert Porn Pon Squad a success. Their success started from the very beginning as the squad traveled to Lake Okoboji for a National Cheerleading Association (N.C.A.) porn pon camp. The N.C.A. gave out ribbons for individual routines, and the team with the most ribbon points recieved a sweepstakes award. St. Albert's squad won that trophy. The pommers recieved a spirit stick every day of camp for showing the most spirit, as well as a plaque for having one of the top routines in camp. After the Okoboji experience, they returned home to practice on their own and as a group every morning from seven to eight o'clock. They were getting ready for the up and coming fall and winter sports seasons.

Pomming, like other activites, is costly. The squad arranged fundraisers such as dances and a car wash. They even went to the St. Albert auction and sold themselves to clean houses. Just as it needs hard work and drive, pomming also requires closeness, unity, and friendship. These things are extracted from occasional squad slumber parties, the time spent together at fundraisers, and going out with each other. "Our squad is very close. We understand, and try to help each other out," said junior Amber Ausdemore, a second year pommer. Now instead of seeing a pommer while walking down the hallway as just another girl in a green and yellow uniform, one might think of h er as a friendly, caring, and hard working individual who, "just really likes to dance." by Phil Hasenkamp 0 0 n (Left) Wendy Larson gets all pumped up the night before the squad performance.

Earning statewide recognition and the respect that goes a long with that, the team has built up a reputation they should be proud of. With seniors Mike Swank, Molly Malone, Andrea Versaci, and Pete Thompson leading the way, this year's team consisted of more than a few standouts. Although the team experienced many injuries and contained a substantial amount of underclassmen , th ey pulled through and were ranked at th e top of the Des Moines Register cross country t eam standings. "Phil [Has enkamp] and Carolyn [Gorman] seemed to recover 100 percent and were ready to go by state," Swank stat ed . At the A.L.

Hasenkamp, in his first year as a harrier, proved tough competition for last year's team leader Sto k , however the two worked together to push each other to excel. Cross country has a lways had a reputation of being more like a "family" than a team . Because of this reputation, some students may be apprehensive in becomin g a h a rrier. Some may feel as though they h ave to h ave a certain personality or sense of humor in order to b a true cross coun try runner.

With their first year in highschool, the freshmen team managed a successful year. With the la rge number of girls goin g out, it was n ecessary to have both an A and B team. Freshman, K0ri Nielson, said, "Some people didn't get a lot of playin g time, but, for the large numbers, [coach Pat) Kroll did a good job putting us in according to our ability. " When asked what the freshmen wanted to acccomplish, most in their first year of high sch ool volleyball, th ere are many different replies. Some said, they just wanted to beat L.C. and T.J. Others said th ey just wanted to stay in sh a pe. But, as Sharon Whetstone stated , "I wanted to get to know th e game, and account for my mistakes, not for anyone elses. If everyon e does this, it will help us work together, and grow as a team.

These are grea t goals, and the freshmen did a great job accomplishing them. As Nielson said, "I love to get good kills, and I think we did. " The j .v. had a positive change as well. Carrie Miller coached h er first year of volleyball, and according to the j .v. players, she did a great job. With their record of 9 -5 , the girls felt they did a good job for their coach. "Coach Miller wa s easier to work with, she always had time to work with us individually. She helped me strive for the best of my a bilities," said junior, Wendy Larson. Junior Erin Walsh, said, "Ca rrie was easier to relate to , and s h e was very understanding, and was always willing to help. " The team h ad a lot to look forward to. Since it was the first year that juniors and sophomores ever played together, they didn't really know what to expect.

Teamwork is the backbone of the team, for without it, there is no way to work, play, and win together. According to senior Melissa Schmida, "Teamwork to me means working as one, doing everything you can to make the whole team look better, not just you. To be a team player, you can never think of yourself first." It was evident when watching the team play that there was a strong sense of unity. Just as evident was the unity off the court. Support for the team was better than ever, with th e crowd cheering the team on. "The support we got from the crowd was great. Having people there means so much and gets our intensity back up," commented senior Terri Petratis. There were many loyal students who followed the team to away games, and gave the team the extra support th ey needed. This also was a s pecial year for head coach Kathy Beckman.

Many feel that this is a landmark year for all the fall sports, especially for volleyball. There were many personal and team goals for the players. Schmida felt that as a team they did have a goal. "We really want to get to "state," and we are trying our hardest to reach this goal, but of course we have obstacles." The obstacle turned out to be Essex, who defeated the Saintes in four games. That was a landmark game, though, for that was the farthest the Saintes had ever reached in state tournament com - petition. As a whole, the volleyball sea son was marked with memorable events. For each individual on the team, there were personal high - lights of the season. For Pe tratis, the highlight of the sea son was "just the closeness of the team.

The junior varsity team came together to have one of the best seasons in S.A. history, finishing the season at 6-0 ,while the freshman/ sophomore team battled to a 3-4 record. The young Falcon s were never out of a game; the largest margin of defeat was six points. The main goal of any junior varsity team is to get experience working as a unit, and getting experience to work through all sorts of different situations. Although the J unior Falcons were never really tested this season. th ey easily defeated all their opponents. "It felt great to h ave a perfect season because it shows th a t we will be prepared for our varsity career. " sta ted junior Mike Pattee.

" Th e Falcons proved to th emselves that no goal is too big for them and, in giving it all they h ad , the season was a unbelievable success. They opened up their season with teams such as Missouri Valley, Thomas J efferson and Flanagan. The Falcons h ad an advantage hosting six ou t of the nine regular season games at home.

Senior Kelly O'Connor wa s awarded most va luable player and wa s also named Senior player of the year in the city.

We started out strong and went downhill a little bit." Falcon wrestling coach Loren Lintner was right, it was a different type of season but, as with any a ctivity, there are many failures and triumphs which make it special and worthwhile to each participant. The Falcons started out with a total of 21 wrestlers, but as the sea son progressed, the numbers s eemed to dwindle. At the end of th e season, the team consisted of 10 wrestlers. However, th ese 10 individuals set an example of what is expected of any athlete when the going gets tough. "I think I did a little better than last year," said sophomore John Burg. "I look forward to n ext year because I know I'll have the experience, and I'll wrestle varsity more." Many of the Falcon grapplers share the same optimistic anticipation for the next season .

Well, that's where ma turity and dedication come into play. The Falcons did their best to a chieve personal goals, and make the best of what they h a d. Meeting individual goals s eemed to be a common a spira tion for the team. When asked what drew him to the sport of wrestling, freshman Mike Wise sa id, "It's an individua l sport." According to junior Justin Crampton, wrestling is exciting beca u se, "It's one-onone . It's more yourself than the team out there." As in any sport, pra ctice is the thing behind the success. Senior . Tim Evers found practice to b e very ben eficial. "It kept me in s h a pe, and improved my skills." This was quite obvious, as Evers went 13 -0 before his first loss of th e season.

The Saintes ended the season with a 12-3 record. It was combined with a lot of young talent; a few varsity players stepped down to help out the team. At first there were a couple of players that thought it was unfair, but learned that it helped them understand the game more. ''The team made me feel welcome and basketball helped me get to know the girls better," said sophomore Sarah Hoogestraat. ''There was something unique about the team," freshman Sharon Whetstone commented. "If we didn't get along off the court, we made sure we got along on the court. We didn't let our other problems interfere with the game." Sa intes coach, Pat Kroll, encouraged the team when th ey were beh ind .

The games within themselves were very intense at times. The smell of victory came with ease to the Saintes. ''They went into the games with a positive attitude, and if they got down on themselves I reassured them that they were playing fine they just needed to relax," commented Kroll. The basketball program seems to be improving and looks very promising for the Saintes in the future. Whetstone seems to think that, "j.v. prepa res you for varsity and helps you learn more about the game and helps you deal with the pressure of playing at the varsity level. There will be a strong Saintes bas ketba ll team in the future if we continue to play together as a team ."

With long and hard hours of practice, the Saintes had high expectations and goals for the season. "Going into the season, we wanted to play to the best of our ability and excel with each game. Our main goal was to win city, thus giving us the advantage to advance further into the tournament," said Coach Heithoff. Little did they know that the season would be one to remember. The motto for the team was "this is the first and only game of the season." With a 17-5 record, the Saintes certainly played as if it were. In the first game of the season, the girls defeated city rival, A.L. Junior Michele Konz said," The win was a real uplift.

Juniors Michele Konz and Patti Stephens, along with sophomores Kelly Hughes and Sarah Shaver completed the starting lineup. Katie Heithoff, Amy Davis and Alexis Becerra came off the bench and contributed a great deal to the team as well. "Towards the end of the season, everyone developed and came into their own," said Heithoff. It was time, once again, to face A.L. in city districts. The game was close until the end, but was decided with one last s hot, a three-pointer, made by "Machine Gun" Kelly Hughes, with seconds left.

They had some tough teams on the schedule, but they seemed to handle them well. 'The harder the team, the better we played, we seemed to play the easy teams more relaxed. When we played the harder ones, we knew how much pressure we had on us. Therefore, we played a lot better," said Smith. Their practice seemed to go well throughout the season.

Tennis is a very popular past time for many people, some play for recreation and some play for a living, but as senior Janna Hicks said "tennis is fun in itself. I like doing things I enjoy with people I enjoy. " Junior Elin Walsh also a dded, "I like the excitement of th e one-on-one physical activity." The girls started off their season on a good note, by defeating Duchesne for the first time in St. Albert tennis history. The squad had a lot of personal goals as Walsh stated "to push myself to be better, not necessarily to win, but to be b etter at my game."

" These goals were very promising for the '92 girls tennis season and future season as well. "Hard workers who are committed to being their best and winning" is how Coach Rew desciibed his girls. The squad had a positive outlook going for it. Since a lot of the senior members will be leaving, it's good that there are n ew faces to take their place, although the sen - iors have a great deal to do with the success of the undercla ssman.

With the varsity Falcons consisting of four seniors, goals and expectations were set high from the very beginning. Senior Shawn Kenney stated, "The goals that I didn't reach last year are the same goals that I wanted to achieve this year." Kenney did just that by having an outstanding singles record and by taking the title of city champ at the fifth seed. Kenney was not alone with top honors at the city tournament. Senior Justin Pekny and junior Chad Arnold also took first place at the second seed and fourth seed, respectively. Pekny is a two-year winner, and he felt "it was a great accomplishment." To many, the city tournament was a positive step toward a common goal: State.

Everyone had their own individual goals, but instead of focusing on what they could do for themselves, they focused mainly on what they could do for the team. There are some highlights individually, though, and for senior Mike Wiegman, his greatest accomplishment during the regular season for both himself and the team was "getting second place at the Atlantic Tournament at number one doubles with Justin Pekny." As a whole, the team performed very well at the tournament, placing third. There could be no team without a coach, and back for h is second year was Coach Vince Rew. Not only did Rew lend support, according to Pekny, "Coach Rew helped me with some aspects of my game." As a whole, the team came together to strive for the best.

These are the people to which the atheletes owe many thanks, because if it weren't for managers there would be no organization. The job of manager consists of not just writing down statistics or collecting equipment, but lending support to the coach and the players as well. "Managers are vitally important to the coaches and the team," Fr. Bud Grant stated. Coaches are often in dire need of managers, and too often the work is done by players, coaches, and even parents. "If the managers weren't there, the players would have no clue of how well they are doing because they wouldn't have any information," said senior Tina O'Brien. O'Brien is one example of a person who can't find the time to actually play the sport, but chooses to be a manager because of the interest she has in it, such as cross country. People often wonder what would possess a person to take on such a "thankless job", but often =:::t 122 times managers are who they are because they cannot be on the team due to lack of time or because of an injury. Then again, a manager could be simply doing a job because they want to. O'Brien explains, "A manager is someone who cares enough to be there even when they don't have to be." This !s a quality of not just a manager, but a leader as well. This may be why managers at St. Albert are able to use the time they spend on the sidelines as service hours for National Honor Society and scholarships. Often managers don't receive credit where credit is due. The hard work these students put in should be acknowledged, at least more than it is. Being a manager may look easy, but it is very time consuming and much responsibility is laid upon that person. by Jenny McGinn 1991-92 managers: Andrea Versaci, Ramsey Jabro, Dan Doner.

Many school records were broken and personal bests achieved. In the fall, the volleyball team went as far as regionals and was one step away from state tournament play. The football team went undefeated throughout the regular season, and encountered their only loss in substate play. Also in the fall, the cross country teams reached new heights a t state competition. The girls placed 7th and the boys placed 2nd, which was a new record for St. Albert. In the winter, the girls basketball team showed off their talent by winning the district games, and with the help of a last s econd basket by sophomore Kelly Hugh es, the team advanced to sectionals. This left the Saints with a new school record, and a h appy Coach Heitoff. Team unity, hard work , and dedication all paid off for the boys basketball team. The boys en ded the season with a great record and a season to be proud of. The wrestlers went through a tough schedule this year and had to overcome a lot of obstacles, but all the hard work payed off with a very impressive record. There weren 't enough good things to say about the spring sports this year. The boys' and girls' tennis teams both played very well this year. The girls ended the season with the s econd best record in school history , and the boys team advanced to substate. The boys team ended with a record that beat any previous record at S.A. The girls' soccer team played to the best of their potential, leading them to another school record. The boys' team made Fr. Bud prou d with their sucessful record a nd outstanding play. The boys' track team sent more guys to state competition the ever before, and the girls sent nine. Both teams had great seasons and were su cessful at state competitions. Both school records and personal records were broken to make a perfect end to a great year.

Heights "The team looked pretty good from the bench." Lori Fox I Reach This year, the Saintes volleyball squad gave the school hope, and possibly insight for the future the game of volleyball. The varsity squad finished their regular season with a record of 20-11-7. Their post-season started out by playing TriCenter and the Saintes defeated them in a set of five tough matches. The next contender was the regular season rival, Underwood, which the Saintes defeated in their ever present five match game. Up next was Carson-Macedonia, which the girls knocked off in another set of five . In the district first-round of finals, the Saintes met up with their arch n emesis once again, Underwood. In an emotional match, the Saintes ended up victorious, each girl going home with their own little piece of that very sweet victory, a gold medal. With hopes soaring, the Saintes went on to their next contender and former state qualifier, Essex. Knowing they would be on Essex's home turf, and playing in a new gym, the Saintes h ad to harbor those added pressures as well as trying to play the best game they've ever played. The Saintes lost the first two sets, but tried for a comeback by defeating Essex in the third set. But, the Saintes fell behind and lost the fourth; they ended their s eason in a sportsman-like manner, and retreated to their locker room. There, teammates cried and h u gged, with Coach Beckman leaving h er girls with an inspirational talk to end the season. Th e loss so close to State was traumatic, but at least there is a chance that the '1:1!.intes volleyball team can go just as far as any other team can, and possibly farther. Senior, Missy Schmida, and four year volleyball player said , " I really didn't think about missing volleyball unW after we lost at Essex. I miss it. but it's over. " 127 F= Senior Mike Swank struggles to stay ahead of one of his opponents during the state Cross Country meet in Des Moines.

But, this year's competition, in Ames, Iowa, was on the same day as the SubState fooball game also in Ames. "I was happy to see more people than usual up at State, but I would like to think that if there wouldn't have been a football game up there too, people would still have come," stated senior Molly Malone Both boys and girls teams qualified for the state comptition and finished very well overall. The boys finshed second while the girls finished seventh. Finishing second at Sta te wa s the highest finish ever for the St. Albert boys' team. Doing well at sta te wasn't all that the cross country teams did . Both the girls' and boys' teams were also District and Conference Champions. For the Saintes, Jill Konz came in sixteenth, first for the Saintes. Other finishes included Andrea Versaci at thirtith. Val Graeve at sixith , Molly Malone at sixty-fifth and Carolyn Gorman a t nintyfourth. For the Falcons, Corey Stock came in fourth, first for the Falcons. The boys individual standings were Danny Stock twenty-fifth,;Phil Hasenkamp twenty-eighth; Shawn Jones thirty-fou rth,;Mike Swank finished fifty-first; Mike Doner fifty-second while Jason Smith finished sixty-sixth. All in all everyone did a good job at state and are ready to come back n ext year and do even better. The team is pretty young and that gives you a lot of potential for the years to come. State wa s very successful for the St. Albert Cross Country teams. According to j u nior Phil Hasenkamp. "It was a good way to cap off a successful season. " 129 The sub-state football game was played at the dome in Vermillion, South Dakota. Many roadtripped it t o see the team in action and were thankful t o see this sign--only two miles left! Seniors Robe rt Ruiz and Kurt Claussen put up a high five in celebration of the completion of a great play. This game was played at Cyclone Stadium in Ames, a step up from the high school fields the Falcons are used to playing on. =:j.__1 _,-~= While in possession of the ball t h e Falcons p a u se t o go over the game plan in hopes of a touchdown. Con cen - tration could be read on the faces of many players. Road • "It was just a great experience , I'll never forget" Coach Schcilone I Glory After missing out on a trip to the playoffs last year, the '91 Falcons answered with resounding fashion. The Falcons not only got an invite to the playoffs, they made it all the way to the semifinals before being defeated by Rock Rapids Central Lyon 39-13. The Falcons gave fans another added bonus, by hosting the first round game at Falcon Field. Numerous fans braved the single-digit temperatures to cheer on the home team, as they clashed with first round opponent, Mapleton-Maple Valley. The Falcons punished the Rams 49- 15. According to junior Matt Smith, "The score just proved how good we really were." The win also signified the first time in S.A. history, that a football team had won 10 games in a season . Along with the second round came the snow and ice. Due to the treacherous conditions, the game was moved to Jack Trice Memorial Stadium in Ames, Iowa. This marked the first time that a S.A. team had played in a college stadium. "It wa s a hectic s chedule, things were just happening too fast, " Stated Coach Scichilone. The quarterfinals pitted Roland-Story against S.A. The Norsemen were at the advantage, getting the Falcons up at 4 a .m. in order to make it to Ames by game time. The Falcons took a posi ive attitude into the locker room at h alftime with a two point advantage, leading 2-0. In the s econd h alf, the Falcons kicked in th e afterburners, s coring 18 points on two touchdowns and Smith's 3 1-yardfield goal. Th e Falcons went on to win 20-6. Th e Falcons faced the Lion s of Rock Rapid Central Lyon. The game wa s played in Vermillion, South Dakota in the DakotaDome . This was another first for th e mighty Falcons. In th e first half of play. the Falcons committed turnovers and penalties, two things unfamiliar to this year's squad , and went in to the locker room a little dish eartened being down 33-0 . Bu t. n ever being a team to quit. the Falcons battled back to score makin g the final 39-13 . "It was a dream come true, ever sin ce I"ve been a coach we've been hoping to get to that third game. I was real excited that we made it to th e semi-finals. It was just a great exp rience, I'll never forger it." commented Scichilone .

Junior Patti Stephens keeps on her tradition of hurdling at the state meet. 132 Coaches Terry Dolnicek and John Shorey discuss upcoming events at Drake Stadium. "I liked State because I had my best times all year." - Michele Konz Beat State track again . . .. The Saintes wen t again to Des Moines to Drake Stadium on May 22nd and 23rd stayin g at the Saintes favorite, The Howard J ohnson (Ho-Jo) as J enni Tobias might call it. Junior Patti Stephens qualified in 100 meter hurdles running a 16.61 missing to qualify for the next day by .6 of a second. Stephens also qualified in the shuttle hurdle relay running with freshman Kori Nielsen , sophomore Carrie McGruder, and freshman Sharon Whetstone, running their seasons best 1:08.31 , not qualifying by .18 of a second. McGruder also ran in the 4 X 400 relay with senior Molly Ma lon e, junior Michele Konz, and senior Nikki Ravlin in another s eason's best running 4:09 .91 missing qualifying by .03 of a second. Ravlin, Malon e, and Konz also joined sophomore Val Graeve in the 4 X 800 relay running this one at 10:02.83 . Soph omore Jill Konz ran th e 3000 meters at the time of 12:00.6. The Saintes track team did well going to state with five events. "I liked state because I h ad my best times all year. Drake is a fast track to run on" said Michele Konz. "It got me more prepared for my years to come in track. It wa s a very different and exciting experience·· said Whetstone. As a team, the Saintes failed to place overall in the meet. However, experien ce will be a major part of the team's su ccess n ext year. Steph ens said , "I definitely think that experience is the key. I see u s coming back next year as a big threat to a lot of other teams." Though not all persona l goals were reached at Drake Sta dium, the Saintes achieved one thing they set out to do, h ave fun . Swimming, fu nnel cakes, and mall shopping-sprees were all part of the agenda. No doubt, they'll be back to Des Moines next year, and no doubt. they'll be a fore to reckon with, both on and off the track. 133 J:::= Junior Jason Smith dreams of one day being able to walk through this tunnel. Junior Phil Hasenkamp strides ahead of the pack during one of his races at Drake. Tommy Hughes, Shawn Jones, Phil Hasenkamp, Corey Stock, John Hromadka, Jason Smith, Mike Swank, and Coach Meshling take time for a picture in between races. "[I] had good tim.e . . • a " -Kyle Wandersee senior Meet The place: Des Moines. The time: May 29-30. This year St. Albert sent guys up to Boys State Track. They did just as well as everyone expected them to, maybe better. The team overall placed sixth; Corey Stock placed third in the 400; Phil Hasenkamp pulled first in the 800 and the mile and second in the two mile taking two state titles. Andy Turner did well in the shot; Kyle Wandersee, Kirk Menges, Scott Smith and Justin Morris ran in the 800 distance medley and when asked how he felt after the race Kyle said he, "had a good time. " He was also asked how he felt being a senior at the end of track season. He said he felt. " sad, but will run at USO so I have something to look forward to." The whole weekend was not races and relays for our good old S .A. boys. The guys had their share of fun before and after the races. One can just imagine the chaos they caused in the hotel. It's all just good clean fun, right boys? They all partied h ard after the races and had a lot to party for. They all did extremely well and carried on the winning tradition of the Falcons. All of the seniors will miss the practices, hard work, the coaches never ending nagging about being the best, the drive, the agony of defeat but most of all the thrill of crossing that fmish line a winner. It is now the juniors turn to carry on the tradition. We'll have a fresh start and new runners to help them out. By Erin Walsh 135 t== SERVICE ALL MAKES (71 2) 3:28-1 536 • "'""' . GRIFFITH T.V.

Take It To The Limit In the classroom, out on the field or court, and in organizations, the students of St. Albert rose above and beyond their horizons to achieve success, to "take it to the limit." "Rising above the rest," students became involved in organizations formed at school, as well as in the community. Each individual left their mark of success. With homework piled up to their necks, cramming for tests, and college credit courses, students accepted "the ultimate challenge" of making the grade. Filling the shoes of senior standouts that graduated, athletes put it in "maximum overdrive" and worked as a team to achieve goals that were made at the beginning of the seasons. After a long week of school, students took a break and lived "life in the fast lane," as they went out on the weekends. Going to the movies, cruising Broadway, walking through the Old Market and Con Agra, or just spending a night in front of the t.v., were some ways to enjoy time with friends. Throughout the 1992-93 school year, students represented their school in many different areas and did it with pride. The year was definitely one to remember, a year to, "take it to the limit."

This only means one thing, it's summer vacation. It's time to forget about school and enjoy yourself. People traveled to many places over the summer. Senior Theresa Eich went to her sister and brother-inlaws house in Arlington Heights, which is right outside of Chicago, "I went to the White Sox game and it was so cold my feet almost froze. I really liked my vacation because I was with my family. I never see them, so it felt really good to be with everyone on my vacation," said Eich. Senior Jenni Tobias traveled to Colorado with classmate Jenny Hotz. They went to Boulder and Denver. "I really liked this vacation because I got to spend quality time with Jen before school started," said Tobias. Some people spend their whole or mosCof their summer in a different state. Freshman Kris Shannon spent a month and a half in San Francisco. "I spent most of my time working at a YMCA day camp," said Shannon. Junior Jeff Davis traveled to North Carolina with his whole family. "I basically hung around the beach and went to monuments with the family," said Davis. The rest of the summer was spent going out and lounging. "I slept in, watched t. v., did work around the house," said Eich. Being the water type, Shannon spent a lot of time at Wilson pool. Sophomore Ann Narmi spent her summer at drivers ed, but she really didn't enjoy her summer because it was too cold. Now that summer's over, vacationing is done. We can just sit and wait, or dream about what we're going to do or try next summer.

Firrsl day ofr school blues The alarm goes off and before you know it, you' ve slept your summer away, and it's back to school. Students got themselves together from a three month break, for yet another long and exciting year at S.A. For some, it was just the begining, and the beginning of the end for others. It was the same ol' same ol' for the rest. But they all have one thing in common, the first day of school. What's so great about the first day of school? Junior Amy Davis said, "The newness of it all, everyone actually does their hair." Senoir Eric Points said, "It was a scary feeling knowing it is my last year here at S.A." No matter what the year, the first day of school is one you can never forget. Senior Mike Bjork is sure not to forget his, "My car's engine blew up at the bottom of the hill. Luckily, I wasn't tardy, that would have been all I needed! " Sophomore Alicia Sanchez said, "I hated the first day of school, my new shoes gave me blisters! " Senior Michele Konz added, "The worst thing that happened to me was waking up!" Davis stated, "The first day of school is one out of many that you are ready for, you are excited to see all of your friends that you missed over the summer." When it's time to put away the oil, deflate the beachballs and get out the books and new shoes, it's a sure sign your first day of school is nearing. Be ready for anything. Who knows, it could be your car that dies. By: Jenny Hotz Seniors Michelle Mc Vey, Alexis Becerra, Jenny Christensen, and J e1.1ny Hotz start off their year with lunch in the lobby. Freshmen friends Johnna Hargens, Rachel Olsen, and Allison Arnold, start their first day with smiles.

This year St. Albert had a few new additions, our new principal, Mr. Tony Jaworski arid vice principal, Dr. Bruce McCoy. ' Mrs. Beckman said, "I feel very comfortable with the new administration." St. Albert also has in its midst two new teachers, Mrs. Jeanette Kenney and Mrs. Linda Shackett. Mrs. Kenney said she enjoys teaching high school students again. - Kenny said, "S.A. provides an environment where students are responsive to academic challenges." Mrs. Shackett teaches Spanish 1 and exploratory Spanish. She doesn't feel that St. Albert is very different from any other school. A very noticeable change is the P.E. classes. This year the P.E. classes were graded. Students took skill tests and written tests. They were exposed to everything from volleyball to archery. Students weren't too sure of what to think of this new system, but in the end, found that they enjoyed P.E. and had a lot of fun. The overall feelings at St. Albert were of confidence, enthusiasm and a general sense of excitement.

But screw your courage to the sticking place and we will not fail!" Left: Angel Bernemann concentrates on the next question in the grueling P.E. archery test. This new phenomanon was a strange twist to students as they took the first of many tests in P.E. 7 Teachers for Students There are many experiences when starting high school. Attending a new school or seeing new and different faces. It's hard to get to know people when friends have already been established. That's where the teachers come in. Not only are teachers here to help us learn, they are also here to help us get through the tough spots in our lives. Many students have certain teachers as one of their close friends. For senior Scott Smith, Fr. Bud is more then just the priest we all know and love. "To me, Bud is more then just a teacher. He's also a good friend that I can count on, who will always be there for me." Smith isn't the only one who has close ties to Fr. Bud. Many other students feel a closeness to him as well. Junior Mark Willms said, "Bud seems like he's 500 years old because he knows so much, but it's like he's still in high school. He's really easy to talk to." Another senior with a close friendship to a teacher is Jenny Hotz. She and Ms. McGuire have been friends since her freshman year. "We usually go out to dinner before all the games. She's someone I can turn to for advice on anything. She always gives me her honest opinion." Sometimes students need more then just their peers for advice, and in those instances, there's always a teacher willing to do what they can to help. By: Jenni Tobias 8 Above: Fr. Bud and Chad Arnold are good friends during school hours and outside of school, as Fr. Bud had a close friendship to many of his students. Right: Mr. Lintner and Manny Sanchez take a break during class to share a laugh.

The three spent a lot of time together outside of school. Teachers were considered some of the students closest friends. They were there through the good and bad times of the students high school years. Top: Mr. Bragg, Jennifer Jones, Becci Wilson, Kyle Evans, and Brenda Walter share a moment with the school counselor. Mr. Bragg was always there to listen to problems or prepare students for their future. Left: Ms. McGuire and Jenny Hotz have been friends since Hotz's freshman year, and have shared many good times together. Often times, students looked to thier teachers as someone they could talk to, not just about school work but personal problems as well. 9 Vice-president Dan Quayle paid the Heartland a visit during the long months of the election process. Unfortunately, the majority of Americans voted for the Democratic party, saying farewell to Bush and Quayle. Thurogood Marshall, the first black justice of the Supreme Court, died January 24, 1993. In the struggle for racial equality, he designed the legal strategy for attacking dejure segregation and led the attack. The World • • 1992 was the year of the Olympics, held in Albertville, France and Barcelona, Spain. Some of the greatest athletes of the world participated, but there was only one who took the gold home to their country. An American participates in the diving competition, hoping for a perfect performance. A look at the past and a hope conservative opposition, he take the law ~or the fiuture into his own hands, sparking a constitu1 ~ ti onal crisis that threatened to divide It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, and yet this world has survived another day, only to wonder what tomorrow wiJJ bring. 1992-93- what was so significant about this period in time? What will we remember most about this year? It was a year when the citizens of the United States sought a new change and elected a democratic president- Bill Clinton, along with his sidekick, Al Gore. Hurricanes and other natural disasters were common, as Hurricane Andrew hit Florida in late August, and not long after, Hurricane Iniki struck the Hawaiian Islands. We cannot forget the Texas 10 flood, which caused much damage for the Texan residents. Minor earthquakes occured, too. The winter Olympics were held in Albertville, France, while Barcelona, Spain was the location of the summer Olympics. The greatest athletes from around the world competed agai nst each other, with only one hope implanted in their heart, the gold medal. The issue of abortion was a big one, as many pro-life protesters stood by abortion mills and were arrested on sight. Lakers' basketball star, Magic Johnson, was in the lime]jght for some time due to retiring from the spolt because of becoming infected with HIV. Internationally, there was Boris Yeltsin who became fed up with Russia. In Bosnia, f~ 1m rly known as Yugoslavia, a civil war broke out, as people were fighting over issues that happened some time ago, yet they brought them out again. As we look back on the events of the year, the question that is on most of our minds is, will the 2 1st century be for the better or worse yet? Will the environment continue to waste away or will we open our eyes and realize our planet is in dire need of help? Will scientists find a cure for AIDS, cancer, or something as simple as the common cold? Will computers or other advanced technology take over the work of humans? There is hope for a future, and although one person can make a difference, we must gather together to make this world a better place to live. By Angel Bernemann The environment is a problem that the world needs to open their eyes to and stop taking so much for granted, before we end up losing it. One way to help out is by the simple action of recycling. The AIDS quilt was brought to Omaha, Nebraaska, where many people paid tribute to the victims of the disease. Each section of the quilt represented the love family and friends had for the victims and the memory that still lives on of them. Serbian soldiers take over control of the government in Bosnia and prepare to engage in war. The civil dispute went on for several months. Many natural disasters struck the nation during 1992-93. Among them was Hurricane Andrew which left part of the state of Florida in shambles. A victim of the hurricane is in awe as he is surrounded by what used to be his office. Just after Hurricane Andrew hit Florida, another hurricane was well under way- this time it was Hurricane Iniki that caused disater and destruction to the Hawaian islands. A cluster of apartment complexes are damaged by strong winds and heavy rainfall. Leaving more than 5 ft. of rain to deal with, the Texas flood brought much damage to the property of Texan residents. Nebraska also had problems with rain, as the Platte River spilled over the banks, flooding towns in the metro area. 11 Below: George Bush and Dan Quayle show their enthusiasm of their nominations at the Republican National Convention.

Three men with one common goal, a dream, perhaps, that they've held since they were children, to be President of the United States. There was a self-made multi-millionaire, a governor, and an incumbant. There was mudslinging, promises, mishaps, and values. All three suffered abuse by the media, and all three chose to have their lives held up for ridicule and praise the minute they threw their hats in the ring. As fairly as possible, we, the journalism staff, have compiled information for you, so that you will get the whole story of the campaign. Not just bits and pieces of a candidate's life. From the beginning of the campaign to the very end, these next few pages will inform you of your ex-president, your current president, and your almost president. George Bush, Bill Clinton and H. Ross Perot were the candidates, and this is the story of their work, ethics, private lives, and promises. 12 By: Jenni Tobias Left: Tipper Gore and Hillary Clinton are working women in their own right.

It was the 1992 Presidential Election. The battle for the presidency slowly dwindled to two candidates, then current President, George Bush and Arkansas Governer Bill Clinton. Clinton and his running-mate, Tennessee Senator Al Gore, took bus tours through various small towns in an effort to win the hearts of voters. 14 T1 0 Perhaps one of the most publicized stories involved Bill Clinton andcabaret singer Gennifer Flowers. According to Star Magazine, Clinton had a steamy, twelve-year affair with Flowers. Of course, Clinton denied all accusations, but Flowers went so far as to going on the Sally Jesse Raphael Show to make "their story" public. Once this story was out of the limelight, another tale concerning Clinton came into the hands of the public. The LA Times wrote that Clinton's uncle, Raymond Clinton, managed to The 1992 delay his inducton into the Army by lobbying board-members on his nephew's behalf. Raymond also secured a place in the Navy Reserve Unit, but young Clinton never applied for the opening. After being classifi ed a l -A officer, Clinton remained civilian for 10 months, and after agreeing to become part of the ROTC to stay out of trouble, once again, he failed to show up for enrollment. Should these issues from the past be brought to the surface t*Bush *Clinton *Perot*Bush *Clinton *Perot Campaign History past be brought to the surface during the election? Clinton was not the only one who had to sit in the hotseat. President Bush's running-mate, Dan Quayle, got more than his share of publicity after criticizing a national sitcom. CBS's "Murphy Brown" aired an episode in which Candice Bergan, portraying a single woman, had a baby. Upon seeing this telecast, Vice-President Quayle held a press confere nce stating that it is not right to be condoning sex and childbirth outside of marraige. This brought about many opinions, including remarks from Bergan herself, defending her role and the dedication of all single mothers. Both President Bush and Vice-President Quayle are Pro-Life supporters. This brings about the next topic, family values. Bush and Quayle are both ProLife Supporters. Taking this side of the abortion issue makes a lot of people uneasy, but the two have expressed their reasons for their support. Clinton is strongly against abortion. In fact, he and his wife Hillary have been quite Far left: George Bush speaks of the future at a ralley for his re-election. Bush, a republican, served eight years as vice-president and four years as president, found that what America really wanted was a change in our government. Bush has held every position in public office. Middle: Democratic president, Bill Clinton, speaks of the upcoming changes that will be made in his presidency. Clinton was Governor of Arkansas for 12 years. He was one of the most qualified candidates, next to Bush. Many of Clinton's reforms are aimed at the middle class, to try and give the blue- collar workers a break. Left: H. Ross Perot, a self-made multimillionaire, promised change and lower taxes for the middle class of America. His promises, along with the fact that he used his own money to run his campaign, enticed the American people, but did not get him the position he was hoping for. Toward the middle of the race, Perot dropped out, but he was always lurking about in the shadows, and eventually dropped back into the race, but still fell short. big on the family issue. He feels that government programs should preserve famil y values. Some may find Clinton's attitude hard to swallow since he is a homosexual supporter. Today's society often finds it difficult to accept homosexual as a normal haps. Though values are important, there is still the question of which man will do the best job in the White House. The answer lies within the hearts and minds of the people, but, of course, anything can happen. By Patti Stephens 15 Bush#Clinton#Perot#Bush#Clinto The 1992 Election Candidates Here we are, another four years have passed, and Americans are faced with the same question again, "Which presidential candidate should I vote for?" Voting is not an easy thing to do, it's going to affect the next fo ur years of your life . So the first step in voting is to know the candidates. Sure, it's hard to see through all of the promises of how they'll change our nation, but it's your job to decide if you really believe and trust in them. This election, the three candidates were President George Bush, Bill Clinton, and H. Ross Perot. Both Bush and Clinton have had political backrounds, but at that point, many voters had turned on President Bush, the Republ ican cand idate. He seemed to think it was because of the shape of the economy. While Bush was preparing for his second election, a few of his promises were to veto Democratic spending bills, to give farmers more substitutes, push for a voucher system, and remain antiabortion. But who was to say he would follow through with any of those things? Many Americans were complaining that he didn ' t do anything he said he would in the last election. He told Newsweek in an interview that people just don ' t know about and realize all of his accomplishments, they just see everything he hasn' t done. He also said he was pl anning to build on those accomplishments. Bush wasn' t doing too well at that point, but he also told Newsweek that he.

Above: The jr. high held their own election, including rallies with persuasive speeches full of their ideas for "change" for our school, and also had campaign signs with slogans, running mates, and campaign managers. Right: Former vice-president, Dan Quayle, shook hands and made speeches all year long in order to get his counterpart, George Bush and himself re-elected. Unfortunately for Quayle, he fell short of his promises and will no longer be a part of our government, but a part of history. "Wasn't going to sit back and let Clinton walk all over him, he was going to fi ght." The second candidate was Bill Clin ton, from the Democratic party, who was formerl y the Governor of Arkansas. Many peopl e thought of him as a hard worker because he worked his way thro ugh coll ege and had come that far when he started out with nothing. He dropped out of the race in 1988 due to family problems, but was still going strong. Some of the things he planned to do in the next four years was raise taxes for the wealthy and give tax breaks to the middl e class, sign the family leave bill, and force employers to provide health care for their employees. He believed that although change is painful, it's needed, and our country needs a lot of changes. The third candidate was H. Ross Perot. He dropped out of the race once, but then dec ided to re-enter. Perot was a multi-millionaire who was very down to earth. He believed the country needed a lot of change. so it won' t all have to lie on the younger generation so much. He planned to lower the nation's defecit, and put a 50 cent tax on gas. All of the candidates were bound and determined, and fought till the end. But as it was stated before, get to know the candidates, because an educated vote is the only way to go.

Perot rejoined the race in late September, but couldn ' t seem to regain the confidence his followers once had in him. Perot's campaign was funded completely out of his own pocket. The Texas billionare had said he would spend 100 million or whatever it takes of his multi-billion fortune he made in computer business, to get elected president. With the millions of doll ars spent, Perot still fa iled to win even one state in the popular election. Although his intentions were good, he didn ' t have the pull to win the election.

Finds "Fame'' Fame, is what this years drama students were searching for, and, with old talent and new, they certainly found it. There was a great deal of learning and success in these perfonning arts. Individual speech had nine members that competed in areas, varying from poetry to acting. After a strong performance at the district level, the team took seven of their members to the state competition in Des Moines. When asked about her individual speech experiece sophomore Chrissy Orwig said "I had a lot of fun. I was extremely hyper before I performed, and afterwards I knew that I had done a good job." They had a very good showing and look forward to competing next year. The spring play "Fame", the story of a New York Perfonning Arts High School, will always bring back great "Memories" for the cast. Feelings like the show will never be ready, turned into "when do we go on?" The spring show had old members and new, a mixture that worked well for the show. The new members gained experience, and the older had the chance to put their ideas to work, while developing their leadership skill. The final show was a special one for the seniors. Seniors Becky Michels and Stacy Mcintosh said "We worked really hard, to make our last show at St. Albert one to remember." Students played a Large part in producing the show with their work on lights, set, chorographery, and helping each other to their hjghest potential.

Embarrassment, it's something that happens to everyone. Whether it be teacher or student, we have all had moments that we feel would win on "America's Funniest Home. Videos." What do you think is the mosr embarrassing moment? Maybe it's one of junior Jess Brown's. When she was five, she was at her sister's softball game, and was sitting on a fence and went to jump down. Instead of reaching the ground, her shorts were caught on the fence, causing her to hang by the them providing a full moon for everyone to see. Maybe it's senior Angel Bernemann's, who had a little memory lapse at the gas station. Bernemann thought she had a five dollar bill, but she only had a one dollar bill. She had to go in and explain to the clerk what had happened, and she had to leave her hcense at Texaco until she could get the money. To top everything off, the clerk asked her if she wanted a car wash for the road. Ms. McGuire's most embarrassing moment was when she was in Mexico. She was riding a horse on a tour and the saddle came loose and she ended up underneath the horse. She then refused to get back on the horse. So whether it be to teacher or students, embarrassing moments happen to everyone.

How Embarrassing! 37 Students on Parade Is it a dream or did everyone really just get out of bed? Of course it s not a dream, it's just the beginning of Homecoming Week. It all started on Sunday, when cheerleaders, student council, and many other students gathered to decorate the school for the up-coming week. Dress up days consisted of Monday- pajama day, Tuesday- dress up day, Wednesday- opposite day, Thursday- 60's/Brady day, and Friday- spirit day. Students, faculty, and parents all gathered for the festivities Thursday night at the pep ralley. The highlights of the night varied from seeing Brian Marshall's unique dancing style, to Matt Heenan eating- or was it wearing-the apple sauce. Finally, the crowning of the king and queen, Brendan Ryan and Amber Ausdemore. Friday night the Falcons, although they played hard, were defeated by Carrol. This leaves us with Saturday night, "The Dance" which ironically was the theme for the 1992 Homecomjng. The dance was the highlight of many people's week, and what better way to end such a fun-fiJled week?

What a group! 39 Twist and shout to the beat Dances.... You probably thought about Homecoming, the Christmas Dance or maybe even the dance that got moved so many times, due to the weather or sports, the Valentines Dance. "The Dance" by Garth Brooks was the Homecoming theme this year. Even though we didn 't win the game, people still found a way to have a great time. Some people didn 't go, either because they didn 't have money or a date. But not having a date didn't stop too many people. Remember the Christmas dancethere wasn't a theme, but, a lot of people had tons of fun. The freshman class decorated it so there would be a more festive look about it. Ohhh... The Valentines Dance, or should I say, the St. Patrick's Day dance. Maybe if you think about a, "Bed of Roses"-or maybe a bed of shamrocks-it wiJJ remind you of au the fun you had at this dance. Memories of dances wil.l always be with you through out your life so have as much fun at the dances you have left.

If you only had one of those cool jean shirts that it seems everyone else has. Fashion affects teens' lives sooner or later. The clothes teens' wear bring out their personality. "People classify you by what you're wearing and it allows you to express yourself," said junior Carrie McGruder. "I have more important things to worry about than what clothes to_ wear," said senior Mike Doner. Hair can be very important too. (By the way you do it, or how long or how short it is.) There are many different ways you can do it. "I can do my hair gross, meaning I don't really care, or I can do it wild, meaning I'm ready to go out feeling that I look good," said McGruder. Here at St. Albert, our part of fashion, (style) is harder to express, because of our dress code. There are different opinions on our school dress code. "Uniforms are good, they set us off from everyone else. It makes us look good, instead of looking like public schools running around in trash," said Doner. McGruder stated, "Uniforms aren 't fair because we can 't express ourselves, it limits our ways to express the way we feel. " The ways SA students can express themselves is by jewelry, shoes, and hair. Their are many trends and ways to make an expression.

"Captured in a dream" was the theme this year, and it was presented by the junior class. The juniors decorated for the prom, and used everything from balloons to a fountain, to make it one of the best proms ever. As junior class President Amy Davis said, "Decorating was a lot of work, and it would've been a lot easier if more people would have showed up to help us out." · Although it was very time consuming, the help that they did have.transformed the gym into a beautiful place that the junior and senior class will remember. At the close of the evening, seniors Alexis Becerra and John Hromdka were crowned king and queen, and the whole prom court danced to the theme song, "Imagine", by John Lennon. Post-prom was to be held at the Terra Jane Country Inn, but because of the rainy weather, it was held at school. Casino games and door prizes were part of the festivities, along with all the food you could eat. Once again , prom was a success, and it will continue to be, as long as we have the support and care that we have in the past.

St. Albert's sports pushed it into "maximum overdrive", as they competed in the 92-93 season The changing of players from one year to the next brought new challenges, ideas, and leaders. As always, loss of old talent can sometimes be a factor in the success of a sp01t from year to 1 year. However, this year the rising stars of S.A. had room show their talent. The experience was there and the talent high.

The nervousness started halfDuring her first season of cross country, freshman Lizzy Gorman concentrates on pacing herself through the course of the race, as well as outrunning her closest opponent. The goal of each runner on the girls cross country team was to prepare for state with each race and have a good time along the way. With runners at the tarting line, hearts pounding, the race started. Fans were cheering throughout the whole course, but the most noticeable fan was the coach John Shorey. The runners looked to him for encouragement and advice. Running isn't appealing to some people, but the Saintes worked hard and still had fun. They did a lot of things together, as if they were a little family. The Saintes were happy with what they achieved in the 1992 season. Their goals were to do better at state, and have a good time.

Time away from , as junior Shawn Jones says, "the tough yet fun practices," that Coach Shorey said are, " to build them up, not break them down." Meets are some of the team members highlights. Junior Matt Clayton said, "Coach helps a lot because he's always running around the course." Both J.V. and Varsity were undefeated in the 1992 season.

On October 31, 1992 St. Albert boys cross country fulfilled their biggest dream, they took state. Junior Danny Stock said, "It was an everlasting conquest that has never been done before." Senior Hasenkamp showed off the confident attitude of the Falcons saying, "State was easier than some of our practices, and we walk in those." The cross country team was unified, like the old days and had better attitudes. In whole, they were more confident, more talented and more experienced than ever before and it showed in Ames.

"We came together as a team and by the end of the season, we won many games," said sophomore Koleen Lancia!. The Saintes practiced everyday after school and worked just as hard as the varsity. Practices were the same as last year, they helped more with fundamentals. The freshmen games were held after school and the junior varsity preceeded the varsity. The girls looked more promising as the sea on went on. They developed good attitudes, and better skills. They were also stronger in working as a team. The Saintes enthusiasm was on the up side, always trying to keep their spitits high, so if they lost they could say that they did their best.

This was in the minds of the junior varsity football team throughout the season. The JV Falcons ended their year with a record of 3-4. Sophomore Joe Hargens said, "We could've done better, I mean if I could change anything, I would want to win more games. But everything we did was worth the effort." Matt Graeve, a first-time football player, admitted that he was quite intimidated coming into the high school level as a new guy, but he had a lot of motivation. When asked what or who kept him going, he answered quietly and simply, "my brother." The first year of football left a positive impression on Graeve, for he looks forward to the upcoming season. "We can and we will do better," said Graeve. Attitudes like this show how much determination and desire is carried onto and off of the football field. The freshman Falcons had quite a successful year. First row L-R: John Stronk, Tom Hughes, Joe Stuhr, Warren Mohn, Chad Smith.

The kids worked above and beyond their potential." Taking the first big step toward that varsity uniform can sometimes be scary, but Falcon Mike Simmons said, "I wasn't really scared, I played last year, so it wasn't a big change. Mr. Rew really kept me going, though." Frosh player Ray Gibson said, "We did better than last year. We pulled together to play more as a team." Teamwork is definitely a factor in any team's success, and it looks like the Falcons had what it took to succeed.

As is true in eve1y senior's life, they must leave behind some of the things that meai1t the most to them.

With a shot and a prayer, the three-pointer turned out to be just what the Saintes needed to prove not only to themselves, but to the crowd as well , they could handle themselves under pressure. The varsity girl 's basketball team went 14-9 this year, and were crowned district champions, beating both A.L. and T.J. That winning three-pointer was almost an exact replay of last year's district game against the same team, A.L. But, this year, it was Katie Heithoff, not teammate, Kelly Hughes that made the last second shot. The crowd went nuts after Above: Front, Kelly Hughes and Alexis Becerra.

Without much crowd support during their season, the Saintes were still able to keep their head up, and do what they set out to do, play basketball . Junior Arny Davis said, " I thought the crowd support was pretty weak. It eemed like half the time people didn 't know we had games." But, despite the small numbers in the stand , there were few complaints, and the Saintes fi nished with a season that made everyone proud. Next year, the season should be just as exciting, with many of the same players returning. Hopefully, the Sainte will then get the crowd support which would be greatly appreciated.

Tee Time for Boys Golf Fore! is what you hopefully won't hear when you watch the golf team in a tournament. When the golf team started practice in March they had some goals for the season. Coach Heithoff told us the goals for the team this season were, " to win the NCC tourney, and the other is to challenge in each tournament so we are ready for the sectionals at the end of the season.

Sautter, Smith and Ronfeldt had some varsity experience last year. McGruder was a freshman that challenged the big boys for a spot. Heithoff stated "I enjoy the times we had out on the cour e. The stories that later become legends. Otherwise, coaching golf at tournaments is waiting even hours for the last man to come in. It's worth it if we do well, but it's alway fun to be around the golfers.

Soccer is "fun , and it's not as strict as other sports" said junior Kelly Hughes. If the game isn't strict than practices are, beginning at 5:30 they take up a lot of the players nights. The practices are tough, they condition, do foot work, drills and scrimmage, they get a good workout. "Practices are good for the team, we work hard and encourage people," said junior Katie Heithoff. "Our coaches are great, they tried to take time to work with each individuals needs," said senior Jenny Schmitz If there was one thing about soccer that everyone loves it's winning, and , said senior Sara Kinart, "Molly jacking that girl at Plattev iew".

The Saintes team a~ fantastic with so much experience, most of the players have been on the fi eld sin ce elementry school, like juniors Amy Davis, Jess Brown, Sarah Shaver and Katie Heithoff.

The team also works on game situations like a runner on first and third with two outs. Working on these drills helps them think quicker during the games.

By Molly Morrison 91 Rugby: Keeping in shape is more than weights and running Rugby has become a lot more popular since it originated at the Rugby School in England in 1823. Today, the game of Rugby in its modern form, is very popular in Great Britain, France, Australia, New Zealand, South America, and Saint Albert. Yes, that's right, St. Albert High School. The tradition started three years ago when Fr. Bud, an experienced Rugby player, and a number of students decided to play for the fun of it. Since that time, the "club" sport has grown in size to an activity that at times involves 30 students. Like mailmen, these die hard Rugby players go at it no matter what the weather conditions. The usual uniform for a Rugby player is a jersey, shorts, and cleated shoes. But, on those cold snowy days, you won't find too many players against putting on a little extra clothing. When asked about the explosion of interest, senior Mark Bertsch said, "I think that it's so popular, because it's something new and different that people haven't done before." The Rugby players are made up of students ranging from eighth graders to seniors, teachers, and alumni. The only guidelines are that you're not out for a winter sport, and that you don't go out with the intent to hurt anyone. This is a way for students to stay fit during their off season. Along with rugby, weight lifting, running the halls, and shooting free throws, S.A. a thletes stay fit and have fun doing it. So if you fell like burning a little energy, and lifting or shooting hoops don't cut it, hunt down Fr. Bud, and find out when the next Rugby game will be played.

State victories on "the hill" The Saint Albert athletic department has always been something to be proud of, but even more this '93 school season. Many sports teams and individuals tried their talent on the state level, which is a great honor for any school. We had this honor more than once. First we jaunted in with boys and girls cross country in which the boys took the title of state champs, and the girls came right in with an outstanding third. Next, we wrestled our way with senior Matt Young to state, an accomplishment that hasn't been at S.A. since 1989. Then we shot our way to Des Moines with the boys basketball team, where we recieved second in the state of Iowa Chad Arnold represented St. Albert at state tennis this spring. Chad started off with his first pair of sets losing 5-7 and 1-6. Then he entered the consolation match which was much closer with the sets being 5-7, 7 -5, and 5-7. Representing St. Albert for golf 94 was junior Brad Krohn who placed 12th out of all the golfers in class 2A. The Boys Track Team was very impressive this season, coming home with the state championship. Senior standouts Corey Stock and Phil Hasenkamp led the track team to their very first state championship outdoor track meet.

LIMIT Individu~ls-b~~~e~~~t~h~e~F~a~~t~b~a~n~e~ 92-93 Each individual at St. Albert had their own identity, which set them off from their c1assma1 As a class, special events seperated them from other classes, making them unique. The 1992-93 year brought the whl school together, working to "take it to the limit" in all that they did. Freshman were introduced to a whole new ballpark, being the "underdogs" of the school. Their fu·st year brought V advantages of choosing classes, going to high school dances and pep rallies, as they interacted with the upperclassmc Another year older and experienced, the sophomores had the opportunity of buyi11g their class rings and the challen: of Driver's Ed. Juniors were one year closer to graduating, as their toughest year faced them. Classes, such as Chemistry and Algeb 2, along with American Literature and Advanced Biology, caused a load of stress for the juniors. Preparing for the future that lay ahead of them, seniors perfected their ACT scores and applied for the colleges of tht choice. Memories came a]jve and they spent the last months of high school preparing themselves for the experience 1 a whole new world. At the time, you didn't realize just how fast your hjgh sc.:hool years would fly by, but when your senior year rolled arow1 it seemed as if you were just a freshman yesterday. Students experience "life in the fast lane" everyday of their high school career. 96 Life moves pretty fast, if you don 't stop to look, you mjght miss it!

Notice girls' skirts are the correct length or too long. 4. On the first day, look for kids with matching folders and note books. 5. Watch out for people hugging the side of the haII in the 500 wing. 6. Be careful for freshman running to all of their classes the first month. 7. Just listen to the rowdy voices in the 100 wing. 8. Look for kids trying to act cooler. 9. Notice girls who actuaIIy care about what they look like. 10. Look for the freshman in the comers of the lunch room shying away from the big kids.

It's a big step for them, going from no ties to ties, tennies to dress shoes, green plaid to blue plaid, and just the name "Freshman". Moving up to high school has it's advantages along with it's disadvantages, and while it may be a drastic change for some students, it doesn't even phase some. Many of the freshman agreed that their biggest fears were that classes were harder and their grades would stick with them from now on. Freshman Tad Beckman was-worried about "not being able to tie his tie." One plus for freshman Ryan Hemmingsen was that "girls blossom into woman." Another big difference is the involvement in school activities, such as sports, plays, choir, pep rallies, and dances. Freshman Matt Dinovo said, "The dances are better, so is football , and sports are a little different. " So, as you can see there are a lot of changes one must face when moving from junior high to high school , but as you walk down the hall ways it seems most of them have adjusted pretty well.

The year of freedom We all have those birthdays we look forward to throughout our lives, but the one that seems to stick out the most in everyones mind is your "sweet 16". You know the one where your mom says "Sweet 16 and never been kissed," while you silently laugh. It all begins here- Freedom!! You can finally drive, your parents finally trust you enough to stay out late enough for the 9:00 show (even though thats not really where you go), and finally you don't have to be humiliated by your parents escorting you and your date to the dance. This is when you say to yourself, Life is good! 104 By- Jenny Christensen and Wendy Larson Debbie Michels Warren Mohn Mindy Morrow Ryan Myers Ann Narmi Clifford Negrete Andy Nicholas Kori Nielsen Nathan Noon Nathan O'Toole Amy Patten Mandy Pearon Sophomore Dan Busch smiles for the camera in the middle of one of his grueling afterschool workouts.

Movin' On Up The long awaited time of being able to have a study hall, an easier schedule, senior "only" parties and no longer being considered an underclassman, have finally come to an end. It seems just like yesterday that the juniors received their eighth grade diplomas. Reality heck: in only one very sort year, they will be seniors receiving their high school diplomas. The juniors still have their work cut out for them this year with preparing for the ACT's, prom, and trying to keep their grades up before letting them slip during their senior year. With the end of the year comes the last chance to rekindle the friendships that have always brought doubt or insecurity to mind. The final year is coming faster than most think, along with the anticipation that will make the class of 1994 exemplify what kind of students come from St. Albert, and how the challenges they attempt make them the kind of people today's world deserves and has been anxiously waiting for. The juniors have one last year to enjoy what memories they have as a class, and to remember that their special frineds at this time will soon become their occasional friends, that they may only see on visits overs holidays. New fri endships wil be made and old friendships may fade away, blH the memories will last forever.

In the tradition of seniors, they must've had a skip day, or maybe a few. All the teachers have come to expect it, and often know when it will take place, but not for the class of I 993. No tests were unexcused then. When the warm weather comes, senioritis hits the hardest. Even though a lot of sen iors have had seni oriLis from the beginning, senior sk ip day wasn ·t only meant to happen just out of being rebellious, but it's a time when memories are the strongest, and fri endships never seemed quite that good. What exactly is senior skip day? It's just one of those rebellious things they all do together. Although not all seniors dare to skip the day, they often seem to meet up later. Past senior skip days included going to a cabin on a Jake, or going to privat Jy owned land. These times usually occur when the weathe r tu rn. warmer. So. although it may have resulted in a few detentions if the teachers fou nd out before-hand, a lot of good just might have come out of it. And for all those classes who were sneaky and sly. sorr) teac . but they fooled you all!'

Mr. Jaworski was asked to switch from vice-principal to principal for the '92-'93 school year, in order fo r the Search Committee to find someone fo r the position. When asked how the year was progressing, Jaworski stated, "So far, it's been very challenging in a positi ve way. It's good to see how things are done from a different point of view. Sometimes it's fru strating, but all in all , its been a very good year." In August, students were introduced to new vice-principal, Dr. Bruce McCoy. Mr. Scichilone is in his second year as athletic director, scheduling athleti c events and making sure gyms are open when needed. Mrs. Andersen was promoted to junior high coordinator, to replace Mrs. Wandersee. But, along with the new jobs, there are those who are always here, like guidance counselor Dean Bragg and Monsignor Robert Chamberl ain. Ms. McGuire shows off her perfectly pumped biceps in the weightroom one afternoon. During the magazine pep rally, Mr. J aworski cleans up after a pie in the face from top seller Amy Patten.

The weight that is lifted from your shoulders when you turn in that algebra book is comforting. As is the feeling of relief following all the built up stress from final exams and papers that are due. For most students, summer means spending time with their friends that they'll see next year. But, for the senior classes, it means spending time with the people who you've grown up with your entire life, making memories that will carry you through to your next big step. So, when that final bell rings, and you sprint out the doors, make sure you take a look behind you, and be prepared to come back again next year, and make the most of it.

Graduation "Learn as if you were to live forever, Live as if you were to die tomorrow." "Celebrate good times, c'mon!" That's exactly what the class of 1993 did. On May 27 at 7:30 P.M., the seniors of St. Albert High School entered the school for the last time as students. The graduation ceremony was filled with many special moments, from Michele Konz's valedictorian speech on a look into the future to Dan Neiland's poem be dedicated to bis class. From Stacy Mcintosh and Jenny Christensen singing "Friends Are Friends Forever" to Lenny Skaaning kissing bis long awaited diploma. The ceremony was also used to say a last good-bye to Msgr. Robert Chamberlain who had spent bis last year as superintendent of the St. Albert School system before moving onto parish work. Filled with wonder, excitement, sadness, regret, and love, the Class of 1993 left St. Albert on that warm Thursday night to a world never seen by them before.

Since the first graduating c ass of 1966, the tradition of family has always run strong.at St. Albert. In the past few years, there have been many students that are children of St. Albert graduates. In the class of 1994 there are 12 students who have had one, or both of their parents, graduate from St. Albert. Through the years there have been many changes. When St. Albert first opened up, there were no co-ed classes, the girls were in what we now call the high school wing, and the boys were in the junior high wing. "The strictness of the rules has changed a lot since I was in school. The kids today get away with murder compared to what we got away with when I was in high school," said Mr. Heithoff, who graduated in 197 l. A lot of students fear the fact that people will expect a lot out of them because of whose child they are, but senior Katie Heithoff said, "I don' t think people really expect a lot out of me because both of my parents graduated so long ago. I don't think anyone will remember what they were like in school." Heithoff also said, "I think it's really neat that both of my parents graduated from St. Albert, and both my sister and I will also." Many things have changed here at St. Albert over the years, and many things have stayed the same. Although there have been a few things added to the building here and there, according to Mr. Heithoff, the schedule ha remained the same. Among the many things that have stayed the ame are the teachers. Junior high Engli h teacher, Mr. Gill, has been teaching here at St. Albert for 23 years, and Librarian, Mrs. Angeroth, has been teaching here for 22 yea rs. With every generation, the day of graduation has always been a day to look forward to. With a tear in his eye, Mr. Heithoff said, "As a parent, your child' graduation is one of those things that just sneaks up on you. I'm really proud I got the opportunity to graduate from St. Albert and J' m glad that Katie and Annie will get the opportunity to graduate from St. Albert as well." Above: St. Albert has changed in many ways, but SA in 1994 still looks a lot like it did when it was first built in 1963. SA had its first graduating class in 1966 but had its first graduating class to spend all four years at the SA building in 1968. Among the Generations Above: Mrs. Angeroth in 1974 .

The Freshmen class itself not only noticed the changes of the school, but also the new environment as a high school students. 10 Changes come to St. Albert By Tom Hromadka Staff Writer As the year begins at St. Albert, there are people looking forward to the new season, and there are also those who think differently. Some new, noticable additions to St. Albert are the colorful lockers, and the newly carpeted Library and chapel.. Another attraction is new administration, Mrs. Wandersee is the new principal, and Mr. Jaworski is once again closer to the student body as assistant principal. The new year brings changes and new faces that will definitely help determine how the year will turn out for everyone. One of the most disappointing facts of the new year is the absence of the graduated seniors. Sophomore Matt Dinovo said, "I was angry because last years' seniors had a lot of good-looking girls, and I already miss them. " St. Albert does indeed miss them, but we're also glad they 're gone. A fear everyone faces on the first day of school is the question of transportation . Above: Sophomore Katie Hughes dreams of happier days in the summer, as Jordan Oder realizes school is unavoidable. Right: Senior Eric Fischer remembers he has left something on the stove as Mark Willms gets in the aim of the camara. Most of u drive. but there is always that car that the parents give that doesn't seem to want to wake up in the morning. Fortunately seni or Jeff Harringto n said, " the LTD is purring like a kitten." Unfortunatly, a week later the LTD was taken to the junkyard because of a bad carborator. The seniors always seem to enjoy the first day because of the rea li zation that the underclassmen are the irs. The thought of being abl e to tel I a freshmen to kiss their feet ends tingles down their spines. The seni ors will not have to kiss up to anyone, except the teachers, of course. As the year starts, everyone seems to hustl e around and question what the year is really going to be like. For the seniors, this is their last year here, and they better leave their mark. Senior Jeff Harrigton smiles as he puts his bags in his new colorful locker. The school lockers were all sanded and painted to help bring life to the academic wings. ----...,._ - -- Mrs. Angeroth lends a helping hand in the library as senior Megan McMullen looks on.

The Week of Weirdness By Shawn Jones Captious Editor It was to be a week of fun , festivities, and of cour. e, the homecoming of alumni. This year's Homecoming was everything it was expected to be. The week kicked off with P.J. Day. Students were looking good in their best morning attire and hair. Tuesday was a day of complete craziness. Students came dressed in the craziest outfits they could put together. Senior Gwen Gruber put a new twist in the craziness by wearing her school unifo rm. "What's crazier than wearing your uniform on a day that you don' t have to?" Above: Sophomore Toby Fischer and Freshman Charlie Narmi indulge themselves in applesauce, in honor of their class. asked Gruber. Wednesday was filJ ed with beautiful women and distinguished gentlemen as the students dre sed up for the Homecoming Mass. Everybody' favo rite day was Thursday, Disco Day. A day of hiphuggers, belJ bottom , and polyester leisure suits. The last day, Friday, was a day of spirit and cheer as the students wore green and gold to support their school and footbal l team. Homecoming is a time honored tradition that St. Albert students Jove. "It leaves me all warm and tingly inside, like when you wear pants fres hly out of the dryer," said senior Val Graeve.

The fall night was cold and cloudy, following tradition, but it made for a classic catillion. Freshman Jason Mathiasen said, "I had a lot of fun hitting on all the girls not having a date. Overall the dance was a barrel of laughs and monkeys." Freshman Charlie Graeve wans't nervou when he entered his first high school Homecoming Dance. Graeve said, "It was a laugh a minute!" This year new Homecornjng royalty wa crowned. St. Albert's fo rmer King Brendan Ryan and former Queen Amber Au. edemore presented the hallowed crowns to the new King, Tom Hromadka and Queen, Amy Davis. Hromadka said, "I thought I was going to drop the baU , but then I looked at (Shawn) Jones and fla bed my victory mile, I knew it was all right from there on." Davis said, "I wasn ' t nervous until I started walking in front of everyone." After bei ng crowmed, Davis said, "Unlike others I didn ' t have a first thought, my mind was a complete blank."

SA: A Family Of Friends By Carrie McGruder Feature Editor "Friends are friends forever if the Lord 's the Lord of them, and a friend will not say never, 'cause the welcome ill not end . .. " These words, frequently sung here at St. Albert, are an indication of how important -- friendship is to each of us. Everyone has their own definition when it comes to the meaning of what a true friend really is. Sophomore Jason McGruder said, "A true friend is an honest person you can count on to stick by you through tough times." To most people honesty and trust are the key factors in a friendship. We rarely realize how lucky we are at St. Albert, everyone knows each other, and we're a lot like a family. Sometimes we take this for granted because a lot of us don 't know any different, but it truly is something to be thankful for. One of the most important aspects of friendship is being there for each other. Going through rough times is a lot easier when you have someone to lean on. These times tend to bring fri ends closer. "Having to deal with unusual circumstances together and having to pull together in a rough situation brings people closer. They have to really stick together and help each other out," said senior Gwen Gruber. A friendship is one of the most valuable possessions we can have. Just remember to take time out and realize how lucky you really are.

Outside School Doors By Jennifer Mathiasen Copy Editor It's easy to stereotype our classmate by what we see of them at school. Grades, sports, plays, and other school-related activities give insight into who we are. But what about our lives outside of school doors? There 's a lot more to people than what we see them doing during class or during sporting events. St. Albert is home to many students with a variety of colorful hobbies and talents that aren 't often appreciated or even known about. Senior Jill Konz indulges in the unique hobby of rockclimbing. "It's wile!, because when you get to the top and look over the edge you totally fo rget about how high up you are and what a death-defying activity you are doing, " Konz expressed. Senior Chris Wredt spends his free time racing street stock cars at the Shelby County Speedway. "It gives me something to do that not everyone else is doing,'' Wredt said. Hobbies serve many purposes. They are Right: Senior Jill Konz displays her skills as a rockclimber at a r ockclimbing gym in Fayetteville, Arkansas. a way to ex press yourself, relieve the stre from daily life, or are just a way to have fun . Junior Joe Hargens, who was on a pit crew for street stock cars, said, " It re lieve a lot of my stress, but it can be stressful at the same time. " " I like music to be really spontaneous. To sit down without any forethought and pl ay something, relaxes me,'' senior Gwen Gruber stated , referring to her talent of singing and pl ay ing the guitar. Senior Erin Fuchser has been drawing and painting since the sixth grade . " It's a quiet atmosphere where I can get involved in my work, I really like it, when I'm not too busy to get to do it,' ' Fuchser said. Activities outside of school are an escape for us to do what we enjoy, and are also a good way to find ourselves. Everyone would benefit from taking the time to learn about and appreciate each other's talents and hobbies, and maybe even try a few of their own. Below: Senior Gwen Gruber feels right at home while exhibiting her talent of playing the guitar in front of a captive audience. Gruber also sings and plays the guitar at many school masses. Above: Freshman Ken Graeve practices his talent of painting. Graeve spends about ten hours a week on painting and other forms of artwork. Above: Mr. Shorey shows off not only his stunning physique, but also the tall trophy he won for being the winner of the 1993 Fantasy Baseball League. The Fantasy Baseball League participants pick different players from several different baseball teams and keep track of their statistics. Whoever's team has the best statistics by the end of the season is the winner. Other St. Albert participants are Mr. Mehsling, Mr. Schreiber, Mr. West, a nd Mr. Wettengel. A look at current events: What happened in 1993? 22 First Lady Hillary Rodham Clintion chaired the White House Task force that devised the health security plan. Thousands of Midweste rn fa rms and homes were lost, fi elds we re swamped and towns were destroyed by flooding. Iowa, Illinois, and Missouri we re hit hardest, causing billions of dollars in damage. Pope John Paul II j oined 200,000 young people from a round the globe for World Youth Day in Denver. Russian President Boris Yeltsin dissolved parliament and announced new elections. Riots brokeo ays~fte rthe nnouncementand Yeltsin called in the army to restore peace. After being enemies for three decades, Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization opened a new era in their blood-soaked history by recognizing each other's legitimacy. Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabi n and the PLO chairman, Vasser Arafat, signed a treaty at the White House. Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 60, became the second female Supreme Court Justice. She had previously been a lawyer for the ACLU Women's Rights Project in the 1970's. ' Leadi ng users of paper-based products took an environmental initiative and banded together to devise ways to increase the use of recycled paper and encourage their su1lpliers to use more environmentally sound methods to make paper products. In the battle over the North American Free Trade Agreement, there were three voices most heard. Ross Perot was the man most associated with being against N AFT A, saying it would take jobs from Americans. President Bill Clintion and Vice President Al Gore were for N AFT A, which they said would lower tariffs and hopefully encourage more trading between the countries in North America. In September the Bosnia Parliament rejected an international peace plan that would have ended the 18-month-old war that has partitioned the country into three ethnic states for Croats, Muslims, and Serbs. The United Nations has sent a peace-keeping force to the former Yugoslavia to help keep peace anomg the three waring fractions.

Entering the 9th grade gave all of us the perception that we were moving up in the world, but we soon fo und out that we had a long way to go. lt might have been that bully senior who made the pety freshmen feel like dirt, or it could have been the fac t that in the lunchline, freshmen get no respect. As we learned to deal with the negati ves of being a freshman, we soon were able to reali ze that it wasn' t all that bad. As a freshman, one can now participate in school sponsored activities ranging from basketball to the fa ll play. All in all , being a freshman isn't too bad. Sure, they may take some slack from the older kjds, but it's a tradition that will continue fo r years to come in schools across the nation. Just think, when the current fres hmen are feniors, it'll start all over again.

Freshman Frenzy By Carrie McGruder Staff Writer When people think of fres hman, they often think of the kids who on the the first day of school, are seen with Trapper .£Seepers held tightly under their arms, the girls who have their skirts down to their knees, and the lcids who walk around the school repeating their locker combination out loud, while avoiding t e uppercalssmen at the same time. Although most people would laugh at this scenario, they must admit that at one time they were a freshman too. Freshman Nick Finken agrees that being in ninth grade gives a person an excuse to look stupid every once in awhile. "You don ' t have to feel stupid at dances standing against the wall, and waiting for your parents to pick you up the minute the dance is over, because freshmen are supposed to look stupid," Finken said. Of course the freshman year wouldn ' t be complete without cl asses that don ' t sound easy, like the Math, Reading, and Social Studies classes one took in junior high. Now freshmen get to move up into the wonderful world of Algebra, Speech, and World History. With fun new classes and delighting teachers, one almost wants to take a step back down to those great, do-nothing, junior high days. However, the positive aspects out number the negative ones by far. When entering high school, lcids are faced with more responsibility, and granted more privilages. For example, choosing which classes to take, having the feeling of actually being a part of the school, wearing different uniforms, and talcing part in varsity sports. "One of the bi ggest benefits of being in hgh school is that I'm now considered an ad ult by my parent ,"said Megan YanScoy. More than likely, the biggest benefit of being a freshman is knowing that in three years you' ll be a senior and ready to put on those caps and gowns. The freshman year of high school is one of the most important. It is the beginning of a whole new phase of life in which the true meaning of friendship is learned. He lping classmates through the good times as well as the bad. Coming together as a c lass allows someone to hold your hand and walk down the path for the next 3 years, before you must learn to walk it alone. Being a freshman is the beginning to a new li fe, and the beginning to new friendships you will have forever. Freshmen Annie Heithoff, Marc Peterson and Melissa Kroll took time out from their busy class load to smile for the camera. High school allows for students to make new friends and even get to know more of the upperclassmen. Playing sports and going to dances were ways to meet new people from your own school. Freshmen Josh Dixon and Chad Van Scoy spend some class time working together on a project. High school was a chance for freshmen to try out some new classes. J?reshman Amy Van Fossan actually had a minute to put down her study guide and say hi. For many freshmen, semester tests marked an important event - the year was half over.

The Sophomore class of 1993-94 didn't let this faze them and they learned to be useful in their own special ways.

Years to remember By Kelly Hughes Layout Editor The ma in thing on the minds of the junior class is they only have one more year left of high school. The time is going fast and they want to make the best of it together. The things they like to do best are going to movies, go to parties, or just hang out somewhere they can all be together. Not everybody is always together, but as the time comes to an end they wi ll try to spend as much time together as they can. Junior Dan Doner said, "There isn't a whole lot of time left, but you can always make time to do things with your friends and classmates. You never know how long it will be until we see each other again after we all go off to coll ege."

When juniors were asked what teacher they remember the mo t the an wers became quite obvious. The top five teachers the j unior cla s remembers the most are: Miss Welsh, because they made her cry; Mrs. Schreiner, because she gave them a twelve page report and they all cheated on it: Ml'S.

Chrissy Orwig remembers, .. . " when our class all pulled together for Drew and went to Mrs. Evers funeral. There was such a special spirit there." Of course not all of the memories concerning the junior class are serious. Some are just down right embarrassing. Wan·en Mohn recalls when he, " Brought roses to Michala Haynie in seventh grade and she didn 't even li ke me." Kori Nielsen said, "When Alicia and I were freshmen, we were runn ing down the hall, pushing each other, and some senior boys were corn ing down the hall. I sli pped and skidded on my knees and my skirt got tuck up arou nd my waist. J fl ashed them all." Josh Horner remembers, ... "wearing purple, high-water pants in sixth grade." That is probably not something one woul d forget. Over the past year the class of 1995 has gone through many changes, and experienced things whi ch have brought them closer together as a class.

Swank 45 Rembering the Past By Laura Scurlock Index Editor Growing up with one another since kindergarten creates a sense of famil y within a class. After spending the last twelve years together, the class of 1994 has a past fill ed with stories about growing up together. Who could forget the women's lib movement of sixth grade? The sixth grade girls fe lt "The P.E. teacher was a male chauvi nist. At the end of the year we bought him an apron and we all signed our names to it," remembers Jennifer Mathiasen. Sixth grade was a big year for movements. On one nice spring day at the end of recess, Bridget Boettcher and Gwen Gruber decided to protest by not going inside after recess, simply because it was such a nice day . The teacher didn't notice until the next class was half over. Most of the people that went to St. Albert in fourth grade will never forget the day beans and weiners were served. " I will never eat beans and weiners because Missy (Barton) threw them up all over the fl oor in fo urth grade, " said Kati e Heithoff. In first grade Jamie Goebel switched from Mr. Petramoli e's class into Sr. Barb's class. For most first graders, Mr. Petramo1 ie wasn't the favored teacher. "Mr. Petromoli e pulled my hair, but Sr. Barb said she would give me extra papers to play school with," remembers Jami e. Jill Konz was a new additi on to the St. Albert family in seventh grade. "My mom took me to Dennis Uniform to get my uniform. I cried all the way home. l thought it was the ugli est thing I had ever seen," said Jill. Through the years we have all grown and changed. The fri ends, the teachers, the laughs - we carry these bits of our past with us as we move toward the future.

Right now all we have is the present, and even this won't last forever. Memories are all we get to keep from high school, nothing we earn is ours to keep. We must relinquish all the trophies, titles, grades, and reputations on that final day when we' ll walk; turning our tassles to the side. The symbols of our accomplishments and our failures must be given back, but the memories are ours for a lifetime. Senior Arny Davis said, "My favorite memory of my senior year was being crowned Homecoming Queen." Most of For Today us don' t have memories as royal as Davis', but they are valued all the same. "I will always remember the time I spent with Fr. Bud and my best friends shortly before he left. We became very close, and the memory is bittersweet," said senior Laura Scurlock. Happy memories of our senior year are not the only ones that stay vivid in our mind. The freedom and the seniority do not come without responsibility and commitment. "Trying to hold down a full time job and school has been the hardest part about this year: ' said Jess Brown. Where jobs and classes cause hardships for some students, others are faced with different problems problems so difficult to face that even a Brit. Lit.

For senior Megan McMullen, losing a good fri end and classmate, Maria Kay, to another school, was a hard time fo r he r. 1994 will forever be a milestone in our history. Great memories like being the first St. Albert girls basketball team to make it to state, will be kept close to our hearts, as will the sad ones, such as Fr. Bud's farewell party. Making memories has been the essence of the year as seniors, as we write the final chapter in this yearbook of adolescent life. We all must leave St. Albert and make it a part of our past, but none of us can go without taking a piece of it into the future.

Heading for the Future Dreams of Gold By Shawn Jones They were th best of times. They were the worst of times. And now they will be the times only to be reflected on after we have graduated and taj<.en our first steps out into the "real" world. The future is now ours to take and mold into whatever our dreams may make it. Most of us have the dreams that will make the future something to look forward to. Whatever the dreams, whatever the goals, steps must be taken to achjeve them. Many of us will go off to college in hopes that it will better prepare us for the task of miling our dreams come true. "College is sometrung that you just can't do without these days. Unless of course, you're planning on marrying someone ri ch like my fu ture husband, Andy Murray, is going to be," said a sarcastic Val Graeve. Some have aspirations to be something very big. Erin Fuchser wishes one day to become a famous painter and take over the Bob Ross Show. Another big dreamer, Todd Simms, has the aspiration of being a priest or miling mjllions of dollars by designing and building new and improved Durangos. Having more than one vocation is a dream that a few have latched on to. Matt Clayton wishes to be a Park Ranger/Go-Go Dancer whjie hjs frie nd, Ryan Shea, ha the hopes of becoming a Fireman/Professional Streaker. Sti ll some have less ambitious goals. "I want to spend the rest of my life livi ng under the viaduct," said Mark Willms. It is fun to joke about where our fu tures may take us as we head off into the worl d, but soon they will be a bi g concern fo r all of us. Just remember as you go through life there are many paths to go by, and there is always time to change the road you're on. Above: Gwen Gruber and Danny Stock practice their musical talents.

NHS: Students stand out By Joe Stuhr Staff Writer National Honor Society was established to honor well-rounded students who also achi eve high academic standards. NHS members are expecfed to possess four qualities; service, leadership, character, and scholarship. A person is accepted on how well they display those qualities. This year NHS went through a major change. This year's sophomore class must achieve a 3.5 grade point average to be eligible, in comparison to the previous 3.25. Mark Mortensen, who previously would have been eligible for a nomination by the old mark, isn' t bitter. He said "There's no use in crying over spilt milk. " The goals for this year vary from person to person. Shawn Jones, a senior member, said that he wanted to make the school more open and loving. Casey Sautter, also a senior member wanted to "make it to aJJ of the meetings and benefit the community. " Amy Patten, a junior member, sai d she "wanted to make St. Albert a better place to be,"and she also hoped that by raising the academic standards for NHS, students would work harder in school . Mrs. Caroline Swartz, the NHS sponsor, said, "We wanted to clean up Gleason A venue, ra ise money for a scholarshi p, and honor the students that are worthy.

New people and ideas for Campus Ministry By: Dan Doner Staff Writer With Fr. Bud's depaiture, the Campus Mi nistry Program was given a completely new task, becoming famili ai· with new faces and new ideas. John O'Brien the new head of the Campus Mi nistry program, said the first task is getting to know everyone indi viduall y. "Getting to know a large number of tudents on an indi vidual basis is something new for me," he expressed. The group of approximate ly 27 students is given a task each season to find a theme that they intend to follow. This is difficult while getting to know each other. "Establishing a theme whil e understanding new people and their ideas is tough to do," said O'Brien. The program did conti nue a usual, planning and coord inating the many masses and the Reconciliation services that ex ist during every Easter Season. O'Brien wants to let the youth be as involved as possible. "The Campus Min istry Program should be by the youth, with the yo uth, and fo r the yo uth ," he said. Some students fee l that there is a long way to go. "I don 't fee l the students are involved enough in the masses," said senior Jill Konz " and that's too bad." "The kids should be most involved in the masses as long as they are there to celebrate life," said O' Brien, "and they learn to be a group and be comfortable with each other." O' Brien was pleased with his we lcome and is pleased with the program. "I have received a good we lcome and e verything is going well. " 58 Then and Now: Fr.

Journalism: The p~ople that make it happen By Tim Howarth Staff Writer 'Time, hardwork, and dedication are three of the mo t important factors in putting out the yearbook,'' Editor Jill Konz stated. Every year around 20 students sign up for Journalism, little do they know how much time is needed to produce the yearbook and newspaper. Dimensions is started every year in August and is not finished until late June, monopoli zing an entire ten months full of hardwork and dedi cation . The Acc ipiter is a different story. The newspaper is published quarterl y with anywhere from seven to ten days to complete. For both the newspaper and the yearbook, students in Journalism JI must assign stories to Journalism I students. Journalism Jl students must also place these stories in the layout on the computer after they have edi ted them and made any changes. Journal ism I students spend most of the school year learni ng the necessities fo r Jo urnalism II. These necessities include learning to write stori es and pi cking out pictures, learning how to develop and pri nt pictures, and learning how to take pictures. Journalism I students write most of the stories seen in the Accipiter while students in Journalism II write the majority of the stories in Dimensions. As shown above, Journal ism takes a lot of time, hard work, dedi cation, and pati ence. It's these fo ur things whi ch make Dimensions and the Accipiter successfu l. 60 Organizations ....

An Academic Decathlon student could answer this question, could you? The Academic Decathlon team was designed to chall enge students in a number of academi c areas: Math, Social Science, Fi ne Arts, Speech, Language, Economi cs, Physical Science and Literature. Academi c Decathlon previously consisted of grades 10- 12, but was changed to include fres hman.

Scholastic meda l winner Michels took the bronze in interview, and Honors medal wi nner Wu lff was awarded the sil ver in interview. There are ten categories at the meet; six academi c tests, three speech and one super qui z. Each test is 40 to 50 minu tes long. Also, each competition has a different theme. This years theme was "Documents of Freedom. " Kenny said ,"[ don ' t find Academi c Decath lon getting ha rder each 62 year, just equally chall enging.

SA Students: Reading For Fun By Missy Salyers Staff Writer What is the Dead Authors Society ? Many people at St. Albert are asking that very question . Reduced to a simple definition, it is a group of students interested in reading the classics. The group read classic books and then crot tocrether to discuss them. There are six 0 0 to seven people involved in the group at one time. Seniors Laura Scurlock, Gwen Gruber, Bridget Boettcher, and Megan McMullen, sophomore Ben Koch, and freshman Andrew Regan, are some students who are involved. Club leader Mrs. Angeroth said, "Our goal is to encourage people to read a variety of literature." One of the reasons the society is so successful is because the students want to be able to read a wider variety of books than they would normally be exposed to in the classroom. They have just finished reading the book The Three Musketeers. They have also read Slaughter House 5, The Killing of Roger Ackoren, and The Grapes of Wrath. Dead Authors Society is full of lively students who possess the desire to enhance their education, and is a great addition to St. Albert. Bridget Boettcher and Andrew Regan discuss a book during a meeting of the Dead Authors Society. Organizations .. Music Dept. perf orllls their winning tunes By: Alicia Sanchez Staff Writer SA has the tendency to be su essful in their extra-curricular activities, whether the activity be basketball, football, or the growing music department and their achievments. This 1993-94 school year the choir has participated in the small group contest in Missouri Valley. Like last school year their performance concluded successfully . "Performing in the small group contest is fun," exclaimed junior and choir member, Jana Wineinger. "It gives you the opportunity to perform before a panel of judges." Senior Tracy Minor believes that singing at the small group contest grants the choir, as a group, a tremendous opportunity, as Wineinger believes, but also developes the individual singer. As a group, the choir has also taken part in performing at the St. Albert Christmas Concert on Dec. 18. Besides the Christmas Concert, the choir performed at the All-City Music Festival on Feb. 9. The St. Albert band has also accomplished a great deal as the year comes to an end. Freshmen Jennifer Boettcher, Chris Fennell, sophomore Robin Jones, and j unior Kristy Meyer were fo ur of nine students which were chosen to perfo rm in honor bands or what is called SWIBA (Southwest Iowa Band Assoc.). Freshman band member Chris Fennell, fee ls that "playing in honor bands is fu n because you are performing with talented musicians". These fo ur SA band students were also chosen to play their instruments at UNO with other talented students from the area on Feb. 13 . The band also participated in the Christmas Concert with the choi r. Although the music department has 66 not always bad large numbers in members they continue to achieve a great deal. Wineinger said, "With the small group you get more attention as an indi vidual. " Whether or not the music department and their accomplishments receive recogni tion the members of both groups still remain successful.

By Amy Patte.!1 Staff Writer The performance of "Hoop!" foreshadowed the prosperous seasons of both the girls and boys basketball teams. However, the name of the fall musical was deceiving. "On the surface the theme dealt with high school basketball," said Mr. Wilson, theater director. "Underneath, it dealt with students growing up." The road to being an adult isn't easy. "Hoop!" addressed many of the probelms that face teenagers of today, such as cheating, teenage love and making decisions. Senior Bridget Boettcher expressed, "The dec ions the characters had to make reflected a Jot of what's going on at St. Albert. " Mr. Wilson hoped his cast would read between the lines and learn that choices must be made that will have positive effects. Senior Carolyn Wulff learned, "You have to make your own decisions based on what you think is right." The cast rehearsed after school as 3:30 for two months. A cast member didn't make grades, so senior Casey Sautter was recruited with only two weeks left to rehearse before the performance date. "I enjoyed being in the play even though I didn't feel I had rehearsed enough ," said Sautter. "Hoop!" was performed the afternoon of November I 0 for the junior high. The general public viewed "Hoop!" November 12 and 13 at 7:30 p.m. Looking back on "Hoop!", Mr. Wilson said, "The play addressed a lot of significant issues that affect high school students. It dealt with real life situations like honesty and owning up to your mistakes. I was pleased with the production. " 68 Below: Kate Hobbins and John Wulff patiently wait for their cue to go on stage.

''Present Tense'': On to Superstate By Amy Patten Staff Writer The arrival of a person's teenage years seems to awaken the romantic side in most people. In "Present Tense", St. Albert's oneact play, a young man feels insecure as he encounters the opposite sex. Mr. Wilson, theater director, cho e "Present Tense" because of its freshness and uniqueness. Having previously worked with the play in another school, he knew this was "a winning script." The cast pe1formed at Districts and received a "one" rating from the single critical judge. This success provided them with the honor of attending state competition. At State, the cast received a "one" rating from each of the three judges. However, even perfect scores at State don't guarantee a tJip to Superstate. Days were spent waiting for an invitation to Superstate. Finally, a letter came inviting them to perform. Mixed emotions were fe lt as they prepared for the competition. "'Present Tense' was definitely one of the highlights of my senior year and the overnight tJip to Superstate was an experience I'll never forget!" said senior Jennifer Mathiasen. Rachel Stuhr, Melissa Barton and Danny Stock huddle together at Superstate for a quick snapshot. Spring Play 1994 As the Curtain Rises By Jennifer Mathiasen Copy Editor Traditionally, the spring play at St. Albert consist of a large group of people performing a serious play, usually not a musical, and devoting hours upon hours of hard work, to that end. "Planting in the Dust" and "Stephen Vincent Benet's Stories of America," the two selections being performed at thjs year's production, are very untraditional. Although hours of hard work were devoted to its success, the similarities end there. "Stories of America" is performed in the style utilized by Reader's Theater groups. This makes for a very unique evening. Freshman Lindsay Williams acts as the focal point in "Planting in the Dust" and cast members of "Stephen Vincent Benet's Stories of America" include freshman Gina Roane, juniors, Chrissy Orwig and Jenn y Jones, and senior Tracy Minor. Drama director, Mr. Wilson, also had a unique motivation for choosi ng the combination. "Joan Gubbels (senior, Josh Gubbels mom,) had seen 'Planting' performed for a National Gathering of CathoJjc Women and she was so taken by it that she longed to see it performed again. Lindsay did one performance for a group here in Iowa, and I thought it was too bad that all the preparation was only for one night," said Wilson. " ... and "Stories of America" had been staring me in the face for a long time, I decided that maybe this was the time to use it," he finished. "Planting in the Dust" deals with American farmers during the late twentieth century, and is not only a one-act play, but also a one woman play. "Stories of America" highlights the development of America throughout time. Both selections possess the underlying theme of agony over "what has been lost, and what must be found aga in ," reflected Mr. Wilson. This original presentation did an excellent job of informjng people about the pl ight our nation 's farmer , both past and present, and also remini ced about our nation 's early years. It was performed at 7:30 p.m. on May 6th and 7th in the St. Albert auditorium.

CHEERLEADING Ove~flow of spirit By Jennifer Mathiasen- Copy Editor "Who's the school that we all know, g S.A., go S.A. , go, we've got spirit so let it show!" Spirit is certainly something that a successful squad of cheerleaders need, and something that the St. Albert cheerleaders possess in abundance. The 1993-94 squad was a dedicated, hardworking group. Their duti es were many in number, ranging from the making of signs for lockers, to working in the concession stand after school. They also took on various tasks such as the selling and creating of Valentines and of course, cheering at aJI foo tball and basketball games and wrestling meets. "The cheerleaders spend numerous hours practicing and working in the concession stand everyday and still they have time to be sweet Valentine cupids. I thank them for their dedication," exclaimed sponsor Ms.McGuire. As much hard work as it requires, cheerleading is also a lot of fun. A large part of the fun was experi enced at the NCA Summer Camp they attended at Lake Okoboji . "Camp was a learning experience that was full of hard work, but also fun ... another thing that is fun , but one of our biggest challenges, too, is getting the crowd involved," said seni or Angie Spitznagle. The cheerleaders of St. Albert are not just spiritleaders, they are also positi ve role models for younger students, as well as be ing impressive reflections of St. Albert as a whole. "J think the younger children have a lot of fun doing cheers, playing with our porn and helping in the crowd," said senior Amy Spitznagle.

By Jes Welsh ·- Staff writer " 1-2-3-4-5-6-7 and 8! " The 1993-94 St. Albert girls Porn Pon squad performed many energetic dances for the fans of basketball and football games this year. The 16 member squad attributes a majority of their success to the Porn Pon camp held at Lake Okaboji. Sophomore Christie Burke said, "It taught us to perform, not just to dance." Sophomore Allison Arnold echoed her in saying, "Camp taught us good techniques and how not to be afraid of a crowd." The squad had many goals. Senior Carolyn Wulff, a three year member, andone of this year's captains said, "Our goals were to get along and to include everyone in the major decisions. We didn 't want to leave anyone out." Another exciting aspect thjs year was the annual Aloha Bowl held in Hawaii . Seniors Carrie McGruder, Carolyn Wulff, and Jennifer Mathiasen were all chosen to attend and perform during the half-time routine. McGruder and Wulff attended and said, "We had the time of our lives! " This year there were six sophomores who made the 93-94 Porn Pon squad. Arnold said, ·'Jn the beginning, I think they underestimated us, but in the end we were pretty much all treated equally." The routines are energetic, colorfu l, and most of all , practiced. Wulff said, " They get into partners, pick out their own music, make up the routine and then they teach it to everyone else. We really learned a lot from camp." Something sure paid off, because the girls had a great year, and from the looks of it, good times will be had in the years ahead.

Pinning down some experience: Young Falcon grapplers make their marko By Shawn Jones "We don't rebuild, we reload. " That is how coach Litner described his 1993-94 wrestling team and that is exactly what they did. Having only one senior on the team allowed many of the younger grapplers to get "well deserved xperience," as Litner puts it. Being so young, the team was ' t the powerhouse they hoped to be, but instead they turned in some great individual pe1formances. Johnny Burg, the only senior, stepped up to fill the role as leader to the younger members. "He really pushed us, but he was so big, we couldn 't push him back," said sophomore Toby Fisher. Burg didn' t receive all the wrestling honors of a champion, but he is well praised fo r his devotion and his integrity. Fisher was one of the big contributers to the team. Although he joined late in the season, he still wrestled hard and made his presence felt throughout the entire state. "He's tough and he ' ll go a long way," aid Burg. Fisher was the on ly Falcon wrestler to qualify for the state tournament. Another big wrestl er was sophomore Mark Mortensen. Returning after a great freshman year, he continued ro lay his opponents on their backs and have them crying fo r mercy. " It's a rea l achi evement to be such a great wrestler and be a twotime conference champion in as many years," said Litner. A score of other Falcon wresrlers had their own shinning moments as we ll. For being as young as they were, they had some great achi evements. They look forward to next year, where, with the experience they have received, they will be a force to reckon with. Fisher said it best with his exclamation, "Watch out next year. On to STATE! " Above: Mark Mortensen tries to see if he can literally drive his man through the mat as his opponent tries to scramble out of bounds to avoid the punishment he is receiving. 90 Wrestling results Onnonent Falcons Them W.

But, with a record of 14-2, the girls shouldn ' t be overlooked. Con isting of two freshman. fo ur sophomores, and three juniors, the girls pulled together and had a great season. The JV squad beat out competitors who were a class larger throughout the year. Beating teams from both 3A and even the 4A classes was sometimes a difficult task. yet the girls consistent teamwork carri ed them through. In the beginning, playing as a ream wasn' t easy. The freshmen were required to adj ust to the upperclassmen playing methods. " It took some time. bur the team was willing to adj ust to each other and we began to look like a team rather than working on a indi vidual outlook to the game." said Coach Pat Kroll. During the year leadership took on a large part of the team's success. Sophomore starter Jordan Oder said. "Without the team's leadership, we wouldn 't have been so successfu l or had as much fun ...

It begins with three hour practices and ends with a great winning season. The Falcons started practicing in mid-November to prepare for their tough season ahead. Being hot, sweaty, and in a gym for three hours doing the "dirty thirty" wasn' t what the players called a great time, but they were all willing to do whatever it took to get ready for regular season play. Junior Scott Sanson said," At times practices got almost too long and the conditioning got old, but it was well worth the time." December came around and the Falcons kicked off the season with Missouri Valley. They beat them on the Reds' home court and after that the rest of December was smooth sailing. January hit and the Falcons hit a loll and lost focus. They lost to Columbus Scotus and then to Roncalli in the Centennial Conference Tournament. However, this wasn 't about to stop them. February arrived and they progressed more as the days went by. Coach Wettengel said, "Everybody got scattered in January because of the long season." After knocking off some great competitors throughout the season the Falcons were ready to take control as tournament time approached. Wettengel also said, "Our regular season schedule really prepares us for tournament time, because we play nine schools bigger than us." Due to all of the hard work and dedication the Falcons have put in this year, they came home with another runner-up title and trophy to show their excellence.

Well, it is the game of golf, of course. This game requires a lot of skill and determination. The girls' golf team had both of these attributes during the year. Although the team was small, consisting of only five girls, they worked hard and never let their scores keep them down . Many of their practices were held at Dodge or Westwood Golf Course. Here, they worked on all of their shots and on their technique. They would practice after school under the supervision of their coach of three years, Judy Krohn . These practices are what would prepare them fo r their spring golf meets in whi ch they hoped to prove just how good they were. Three members of the team placed in the top ten at the City Meet. These members included: freshman, Holly Swanek; junior, Jill Gaspard: and enior, Rachel Stuhr. Stuhr doesn't plan on pursuing her golf trokes and talent through coll ege but says. "Everyone showed lots of improvement and by the city meet everyone just cli cked and turned in their best score · of the year." Swanek stated, " I had a lot of fun playing agai nst senior and kicking their butts, and I'm only a fres hman. " All in all, the girls' golf team had a splendid season from getting to know each other a little better to improvi ng those scores. One thing the girls will never fo rget, when it comes to pl aying golf, patience is a virtue.

With all of the starters returning from last year, state was on everyone's mind. Senior standout Brad Krohn, found early success in city and distri ct meets, carrying the Falcons to top plac ings. Individually, Krohn's highlights include placing 1st at Audubon and 3rd and the T.J. invitational. Although very talented, natural ability is highly over-rated. He and the rest of the team have spent numerous hours at driving ranges and putting greens to improve their game. Krohn stated, "Unlike other sports, we show more gentl emen qualities whi ch will in turn guide us through life." Krohn, along with his other teammates, have made a declaration to the state that they're not playing arou nd anymore. Junior Pat Malone has made his name known in the city for his long drives and loud mouth . (His saying, "Drive for show. put for dough ...

Both golfers have been looking ahead to prove that they can hang with the big boys. Even though the team hasn't had any I st or 2nd place finis hes, there is still time to bring it all together.

There are three people who are making this all happen, the head coach, Randy Salyers, and the two assistant coaches Mike Hayni e and Chris Hughes. These three have lead the Saintes to an earl y impressive winning record of 13-2 and the season isn' t over yet. The whole team is pretty confi dent especially Fuchser, who said, "All I know is that we are city champs now for two years in a row." Heithoff said, " How many seniors can wa lk away and say we are 6-0 in tournament play." Brown said, "They might as we ll call me the 'Terminator' since I fin ish anybody that tri es to get past me."

The boys soccer team started the season with new coaches making the calls. The boys soccer squad picked up Dennis Shea as their new head coach. He made the transition to a high-school career after experience in coaching club soccer. Shea brought along with him assistant coaches Jim O' r·en and Jeff Rindone. The coaches didn ' t have the trouble of rebuilding a new program due to the quality of players all ready at St. Albert. The boys were lead by seniors Ryan Shea, Mark Willms, and Tony Mauer, three returning powerhouses. The senior trio got help from overseas from Xavier Perez, a tough and talented player. Also, sophomore goalie, Toby Fisher, made more than his share of great saves, if the ball ever got past sweeper Marty Hughes. Sophomore Kelly Thomas along with freshmen Nick Finken, Charlie Narmi , Ryan Haynie, and Ryan Stuntz, hammered home some well needed plays as well. Many varsity players had to moonlight on the J.V. team due to a shortage of members, but they had some impressive performances. Some of the big J.V. stars were freshmen Joe French, John Cooper, Matt Headl ey, Nick Crampton, Chris Fennell, sophomore Eri c Jancek, and juniors Cliff Negrete, Joe Stuhr, and Jason Killion Many of the squad 's games were very closely contested and many games were forced to a shootout. Most of the shootouts went for the Falcons, but a few went the other way. They beat a tough Omaha Central te am in shootout fashion by scoring four goal. in the overtime, but they were also upset by one goal in a double-shootout by Scotus. They also had their share of blowing teams off the field as they did with Gretna and Pl atteview.

The team, although potenti all y great, had its problem . Many players were sidelined due to school disciplin ary reasons and red cards that were pi cked up during the season. This gave them sort of a reputation of being the " bad boys" of soccer and put a damper on the team 's success. Hughes commented on the prob lem saying, " lt hurt us in some of the big games. Plattsmouth bombed us because we were short key playe rs clue to reel cards. " Despite all the problems, the socce r team prevailed and came out of the sea on with reason to hold their heads high.

To perfect their swings, S.A. girl tennis players fa ithfully practi ced everyday after school. Practices were held at Sunset Park due to the condition of S.A. courts. The practices consisted of serving, sc rimmaging, and pe1forming numerous dri lls. All in all , they were not held in vain. The hard work paid off by the end of the season. Practices were held under the watchful eye of their coach, Doug Rew. Rew was a newcomer on the coaching fro nt. His goal fo r the team was "to improve on last year's record." He later commented that "this year's record doesn't indicate the team's overall talent." Senior Angie Spitznagle had a personal goal to "work on my overall atti tude towards tennis." She said, "You can' t always win, but then you can' t always get down on yourself. Everyone makes mistakes." The thrill of fee ling the crunch as the ball hits the strings may be the reason that one plays tennis, but Jodie Friedri chsen plays for the pure thrill of the game.

By Jes Welsh Staff Writer "On your mark, get set, go!" And that's exactly what the 1993-94 girls track team did. On February 14, the Sai ntes started their grueling season of hope. Sophomore Lindy Andersen said, "The workouts were hard," but obviously worthwhile. The Saintes sent senior Carrie McGruder to state with pride and encouragement. McGruder qualified for state at districts in the 400 hurdles with the time of 69. 1 seconds. McGruder gives the credit of the team's success to Coach Shorey, "At times, he's really hard on us, but he knows what we can do better than we do." Junior Michala Haynie was a bit disappointed in the outcome of those going to state. " I thought we'd take more to state. The girls that missed the cutoff by one or two seconds ran very hard and gave it their best shot. " The senior girls were a big part of the undercl assmen's encouragement. The four seniors included JiU Konz, Carrie McGruder. Carolyn Wulff, and Val Graeve. Hayni e said, "The seniors were the ones that led us this year, and they wi ll be missed." Even though the seniors won' t be back next year, the girls track team will still be able to carry themselves to victory. McGruder said, "There is a lot of potential on the team, and there is team unity." Team unity and great talent are what will lead the girls n·ack team to continue their victory next year.

Individual State: A Step Above the Rest by Sar~ Kruse Staff Writer Throughout the duration of the year, the athletes always keep one goal in mind - qualifying for state. And only the very best, the elite, make it that far. So far this year, there have been only a few individual state qualifiers. r1 all began with Toby Fisher in wrestling. He started halfway through the wrestling season, and still made it. Fisher had to wrestle six different people and only lost two times, to qualify for his first state birth. At state, Fisher wrestled a total of three times. He lost his first match, won his second match, then lost once again to the eventual runner-up. Next in line is Carrie McGruder. McGruder was the only member of the girls track team to qualify for state. She qualified in the 400 yard hurdles with a time of 69. l seconds. Not only was she an individual state qualifier, she is the only girl in the history of St. Albert to qualify in this event. One ofMcGruder's goals was to place second in the finals of the 400 yard hurdles, and her one major goal is to break the school record in her event. On to boys tennis. The entire boys tennis team qualified for substate. But two players are definitely heading for the state meet. Tony Reinhardt and Ryan Myers qualified for state for the first time in doubles tennis. "Our goal at state is to place in the top eight," said junior Tony Reinhardt. "We have nothing to lose and everything to gain ," added teammate and fellow junior Ryan Myers. The team was very happy, and extremely surprised with their substate birth. All in all it has been a good year for the athletes at SA. Through all bad weather and the inconsistent sunny days, the accomplishments of the teams and indi viduals has been great.

In the first game of the state tournament, the Falcons pl ayed Goose Lake Northeast. The score was 62-56, the Falcons, with the win , moving on to game two against MFL-Mar-Mac .

By Tom Hromadka Staff Writer The 1993-94 Saintes had a lot to be proud of after qualifying to represent St. Albert in the first 2A tournament in the state's history. After breezing through districts and substate, the Saintes went on to state, but went home from the tournament earlier than expected. Senior forward, Amy Davis said, "We have accomplished a lot of positive things this year. Even though we ended on a rough note, I know that we can be proud because most teams didn ' t even make it there." The Saintes lost to an excellent team from Hartley-Melvin-Sandborn . H-M-S later lost to Solon, who won the title. Senior Kati e Heithoff said, "Even on a good day, I don' t think that we would of beat them. "' She later said, "It wa fun fo r everyone. I'm just glad that I had the opportunity to play there. " Through the season. the players have et their minds on the state championship. So they have a right to be a little disappoi nted. But as they say ... winning isn ' t everything. but it's sometimes nice. The tournament isn't made fo r the so-so teams, it's designed to let the best play the best, and that is why the Saintes were invited. They are one of the most talented teams to come from this great program at St. Albert. Kelly Hughes is caught playing her usual 'hard-nose' defense.

The birds were singing the bees buzzing and the flowers blooming. However this was not just anyother day, for a special few , the seniors of St. Albert, this was the end of education as they know it. The last day was eventful as always. The seniors were in a mad rush to get signed out. The teachers were in a mad rush to sign them out. The rest of the student body viewed the spectacle as envious as ever. Another common sight on the senior's last day is the waterfight . Every year the seniors roundup balloons, water guns or anything else they could use to douse their classmates. This year was no exception. According to the school's administration the waterfight is just good clean fun and that is just what was had clean fun. However this year's was not your preverbial last day. A normal sight at St. Albert for the last week of school has always been senior girls with shredded skirts. Due to the Administration's decision to collect the skirts that did not happen this year. The girls turned their skirts in for one week of out of uniform. However, as is usually the case there was conflict. The senior guys were up in arms in what they felt was an unfair decision. They felt that if the girls got out of uniform for turning in their uniform, they should be able to turn in part of their attire for a week of grubs. Senior Josh Gubbels assurred his undercl assmen that he was not just looking out for himself but for all of the of the seniors of the future.

Father Bud congratulates Brandon O'Neill as Josh Gubbels and Casey Sautter look on. Ms. McGuire summed things up by saying, "I think I will remember the clas of '94 as quiet people who got things done. They were always there for me when I needed help." Kate Hobbins stated, "The class of '94 will simply be remembered as the best class to come out of St. Albert." Graduation brought an end to high school fo r the fifty three seniors and brought about the beginning of co llege life and living in the real world. Father Bud and Miss McGuire go overthe last minute details for the graduation rehearsal 133 Our Final Stand By Jill Konz Managing Editor As seniors we now stand at the top of the hill, with the sun and wind on our faces, and our successors to our backs. We share the perfect view of the treetops, the blue sky, the past, and the future. This one shining moment is not eternal, soon we must travel back down to the bottom, in faith that we will soon rise again. The hills we dare to climb are different, and the terrain we will climb alone. Each stone will be a new obstacle, each blade of grass will soften ou tep. Along the way we will become stronger, and eventually the climbing will become easier. There will be new hikers who will learn to climb with us, and we shall become a part of a new team. Eventually we will climb to a new summit, with the same sun, wind, blue sky, and treetops, but a new view. We have faith in our experience of climbing our first hill together, and someday we shall climb again. Above: Chris Wredt all smiles, takes the pause that refreshes.

Wednesday was Pajama Day. This was one of those days when students just rolled out of bed and came to school. It was one of the more relaxing days throughout the week. The hallways were nothing but a sea of robes, an assortment of slippers, and BedHead. Finally students had a chance to see what everyone REALLY looked like after having a good night's sleep.

There were varied opinions about the dress up days chosen by the student council. . "I was kind of upset that we ilidn't have a clown day," said seruor Sharon Whetston, "It would have been fu n to have djfferent days from past homecoming weeks."

For instance, the seniors have a big stress on their hands with their killer Brit Lit paper. A paper that the juniors are fearing a year before they have to do it. The seniors this year tried a little harder than last year. Many of the seniors last year were burning the midnight oil the night before their eight to ten page paper was due.

Budgeting: Keeps a Lock on Students Wallets By: Erin Horner Staff Writer Eicture this: You have been debating about asking out this person for weeks. You finally get up enough nerve to ask for a date. You arrive promptly to pick them up. You go to your favo rite restaurant and have a pleasant meal. You take outyour billfold to pay for the bill. YIKES! You have no money to be found. Guess you could have waited on those CD's you bought yesterday. If this has ever happened to you, maybe you should try budgeting your money. Most high school students that have jobs don ' t budget their money. Anne Burgett, who is employed at Godfathers said, "I try to budget my money, but I usually end up spending it." Most students spend their money on whatever comes up without any planning ahead. What they spend their money on is the big question . It could range anywhere from fast food to paying for their own tuition.

Some students have car insurance to pay for along with gas, tuition, and any other extras they may want. "l find it hard to meet my expenses, because I don't get any hours where I work," said Rachel Olsen, who works at the St. Albert Day Care. To meet all the expenses many teenagers have jobs. Some popular places of employment are Hy-Vee, the mall, and various resturants If you are one of these people who have a hard time meeting your expenses, maybe you should try a budget, then you won't get stuck in a situation where you go on a date and have no money.

HeyfWhat are YOU •listening to? St. Albert's Favorite Bands of the 90 's By: Mark Mortensen Staff Writer When students were asked about their favorite group, the answers ranged from a country artist to alternative. The most mentioned, and popular groups or artist, were Green Day, Garth Brooks, and Pearl Jam. Like other students Sophomore Ryan Stuntz is curious about what goes on at the concerts. Stuntz wanted to see Green Day in concert for many reasons. " Mainly for the mosh pits, mass mania and the chicks going crazy," said Stuntz. Garth Brooks was one of the only country singers that students at SA would buy a ticket to go see. "He's the man, " said junior Steve Turner. Most people interviewed said they liked his songs, but also wanted to go because of the entertainment value. "He has got one of the top sound stages in the business. He's got some good songs and is very entertaining," said Turner. "He is the best entertainer today," according to Turner. The last band requested by students was Pearl Jam. Along with Green Day, Pearl Jam is one of the more popular alternative bands of the 90's. "Eddy Vedder puts on a good show. He has lots of energy," said junior Matt Dinovo. Along with Vedder's energy is an energetic crowd. "Sometimes the concerts can get a little dangerous because of the mosh pits, but that's part of the excitement that dpws you to buy the ticket," said Dinovo.

Alternative? Rap? Country? Music to students ears By: Lizzy Gorman, Anne Burgett, Lucia Sanchez Music has become a rather popular subject among the St. Albert student body. Whether you prefer r::ip , pop, grunge, or country tunes, you're sure to find a radio station that will get you moving to the beat. There are several different reasons people chose to listen to different types of music. Sophomore Dever Hansen prefers the classic rock, such as The Rolling Stones and The Doors. "It makes me feel so good. Some of the music is so good I could ljsten to it for hours." Freshman Mike Draper enjoys listening to the more recent groups such as Nirvana and The Beastie Boys. "I like the style, and the way it sounds. The lyrics are pretty cool," said Draper. A majority of the students like all types of music and have favorite groups for each type. Junior Matt Britten agrees, "I like listening to Nine Inch Nails." In a survey of SA students, over half the students chose Eddje Vedder as their favorite singer. Mo t people had last had purchased the Nirvana "Unplugged In New York" CD. And the favorite group was Green Day. In the past few years country music has been increasing in popularity with St. Albert students. Senior Nickje Spears prefers country music. "It's more relaxing.

After working h~rd all week, sometimes you just have to let go and have some fun. -- By: Sara Kruse Index Edtior As 8th hour on Friday rolls around , students are no longer interested in algebra or chemjstry. Now they're concerned with major weekend plans. Whether it be with friends, famjJy or just a girlfriend or boyfriend, teenagers are bound to fi nd some way to spend their time. Students have a wide variety of choices. It ranges from going out with fri ends to a party, to renting a movie and staying home with a significant other. Due to the myri ad of personalities in the student body, it's diffic ult to find everyone doing the same activity. Some fi nd themselves dedicating a large amount of time to athletics year round. On the other hand, some teenagers pass weekends by working. "I work a lot during the weekend hours, but whenever I find the time to relax, I spend it with my friends, " sajd senior Drew Evers. But doing the same thing every weekend gets dull. On the average night students will find themselves going to a movie or j ust hanging out with friends at their house. But due to the desire to do something out of the ordinary, there are those few that occupy their time by fo r instance, going to hockey games or country line dancing. A major concern of money could enter one's mind. On the average, you can spend ten dollars or more in one night depending on the acti vity. Another obstacle that younger teens can' t overcome is not having a li cense. It can get diffic ult when your parents have to continuously drive a group of your fri ends everywhere. " Even if none of my fri ends drive we still have fun by hanging out or just having a bunch of people at someone's house," said freshman Meghan Beresford . As you can see, there are many different ways that students occupy their time, whether it be country line dancing or just sitting at a fri end's house watching movies. SA students are findin g ways to have a good time. Juniors Toby Fisher and Anna Gergevic dance the night away at an after game dance put on by the Pommers. You did WHAT last weekend??

Mr. Mehsling, a U.S. History teacher said, "Every thing that happens in thi country reflects their life." Mr. Kimble, an American History and honors history teacher, said "The students should not only understand what happened in the past, but why it happened." ln the honors history class, the students wrote an in-depth paper on one person or time in history. This was a good way fo r students to learn the how and why of something that they are interested in. Mrs. Madsen, a U.S. History and world history teacher, said, ·"The students should also be involved in what is going on. " Madsen had her students do a simul ation of a certain time in history. For instance, she had her students simul ate working in a factory and starting a labor union. They could then understand the trouble workers went through during that process and that time. Sophomore David Reineke said, "We were able to understand what factory life was like and the authority the bosses had over their workers. I thin k we all understand it a lot better now." For S.A. students, history is not just learning the facts. but also learning the how and why.

The program was built with three new teachers and an added language. Mr. Gill has taken over the Latin program and Mrs. Leuschen, a new teacher, took over all Spanish one and some Spanish two classes. Mrs. Boltinghouse, also a new teacher, began the new French Mrs. Printy-Zika poses for the camera in her new hat for the Spanish trip. program. Gill said, "Latin is a very important part of the English language and is very important for kids to understand ." Foreign languages also helps students relate and prepare for the real world. "Learning a fo reign language teaches people to relate with others," said Spanish teacher Mrs. Printy-Zika, "and it is proven to improve your English vocabul ary and your SAT and ACT scores.'" Many people know that try ing to learn another language can be very frustrating, which is why the teachers often planned games and acti vities. Mrs. Printy-Zika's Spanish classes played games and sang songs, usually after finishing a chapter or for the holidays. The biggest top ic of the year was the Spani h tri p to Mexico. Fifteen Spanish three and four students vi ited Mexico City, Taxco, a small mining town in Mex ico, and Acapul co to get ome sun. The students were very excited about going.

But, for others, math just comes easy. Either way, math class is a big part of every hi gh school student's academi c career. Mrs. Swartz's Calculus class is mixing fun with hard work and chall enging concepts. Senior Jason Killi on said , "The fun we have during the class helps most students give their full attention during instruction." Trigonometry, also taught by Mrs. Swartz, is only a semester class so the students felt the end crunch at mid-term . Junior Dana Schwartz said, "I didn' t have any problems with the class but I did serve as an in-class tutor for some of my friends." Algebra Il was a full class this year with sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Junior Allison Arnold said something that appli es to most math classes, " It can be hard. You just have to pay attention because everything builds on what you learned the day before ." Mrs. Wiegman is, as usual, laying a solid foundation of Sophomore Jennifer Boettcher and junior Jennifer O'Donnell discuss the order of operations in their Algebra II assignment. Class time was often spent working in groups or consulting with other students. mathematics skills to be used in upper level math. "It's not too tough. You just have to pay attention," admits sophomore Jimmy Ge1javic, "But, I liked making snowflakes the best." Algebra is where most students get their first taste of high school mathematics. Freshman Eric Rogers said, " It's hard but I'm sure the things we are learning now will be useful in other classes." The math teachers at St. Albeit are sure to be pushing their students to the limits but as most students eventually find out " it's not too tough if you just pay attention." Sophomores Scott Fuchser and Megan Vanscoy may be a little stuck with their algebra.

The seniors in British Literature were hard at work on the dreaded term paper that was due in the late third quarter fo r Mrs. Kenny. Senior Tom Hughes said, " I didn't want to do it. but I did. " The Senior English c lass read quite a few books this year, one of whi ch was "Lord of the Flies" by Willi am Golding. " It was a great novel. I enjoyed it more than anyth ing that I' ve eve r read," commented senior Shannon Sulhoff. English teacher Mrs.Kenny asissts sophomore Dawn Stebbins with her research paper. This year there were two teachers of American Literature, Mr. Wilson and Mrs. Wiegman. Wilson's students studi ed the works of great authors and were bound to receive advice. Meanwhil e, Mrs. Wiegman's pupils watched the movie "Roots" and enjoyed free reading time every Friday. Sophomore English also had a paper due for Mrs. Kenny. In the paper, they were supposed to compare and contrast two of the same types of works, one from the past and one from the present. Sophomore Dave Reineke said,"[ think writing this paper will help us in the future with other compositions." In the first semester, Kenny teamed up with the Biology teacher, Mrs. Mooney, and took a joint field trip to the zoo. Sophomore Joe French stated, " I like the way we incorporated two different subjects into one field trip." The Freshmen English class read William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" and then watched the modern version "Westside Story" . They also read Martin Luther King Jr. 's "I Have a Dream" speech. Whether they are reading, writing, or just practicing the English language, St. Albert students are doing their best at improving themselves.

Mrs. Schall es said that both of these classes were learning how to figure both national and state income taxes. Schalles said that the students will have the opportunity to bring in and fill out their own fo rms. These classes also foc us on working with forms that students would use if they were actually working at a business. "During the first semester, students mainly worked with the classic pencil and paper, however, we hope to get the students onto the computers during the second semester," Schalles said. Senior Chris Van Scoy, Accounting I student, said that the class was one of his fav orite classes of the year. He mentioned that he was happy that he took the class and that it might come in handy depending on the fi eld that he decides to go into. Van Scoy said , "My favorite things to do in class are debits and credits because they are easy." Senior Michelle Wise, Accounting II student, said that she always had fun in her Accounting class. Wise's favorite parts of Accounting II using teams. Both the were doing balance sheets and Economics and Applied worksheets. Wise commented Economics classes focused on that both Accounting classes gave her a good background because her future college plans included doublemajoring in Finance and Accounting. Wise finished by adding, "I hope that Tom Hughes is appreciative of the fact that I talked him out of dropping the class." Mr. Wettengel, Economics and Applied Economics teacher, said that both classes were mainly concentrating on using more cooperative learning techniques. The students participated in class how the casino issue would affects the local economy. Wettengel said, "Everyone can benefit from this new system of learning because eventually all of the students will have to work with other people." It seems that these classes were costructive and offered useful inforn1ation that will be very helpful later on in life for those students who take them. Beside , who could complain about knowing how to get money back from the government? Senior Michelle Wise compiles all the big numbers for accounting class. Senior Tom Hughes throws his feet up to relax after a long day, preparing himself for the business world. This year the accounting classes prepared their own taxes. 31 Nick Lownes Ryan Ludington Cathy McClellan Jason McGruder Mario Mendoza Melinda Montagne Mark Mortensen Andy Morton Tim Murray Jenny O'Donnell Jordan Oder Rachel Olsen Mark Phelps Jeremy Quigley Theresa Rangel Lucia Sanchez Dana Schwartz James Schwery Daryl Scurlock John Smith McClain Smouse Joey Stock Gabe Sullivan Kelly Thomas Steve Turner 32 No photo available Michelle Vercio Kory Werts John Wulff Neil Yeoman Science: It's lllore than just theories By : Greg Kellogg Administrative Assistant Pull your hair back, strap on your goggles and put on your aprons.

Fresh and vibrant faces began to roam the halls of St. Albert. Not onl y were they seventh graders or fo reign exchange students, but a un ique breedteachers! Teachers are the very core for the existence of St. Albert. Without them, classes couldn 't continue. Yet, every year some teachers depart, leaving their memories behi nd. New teachers seek employment at St. Al bert and school goes on. But what draws these new teachers to St Albert? "The school's reputation and fine academic record made St. Albert look like a pl ace I would like to work," said Mrs. Madsen, the history teacher. However, the tranquil appearance of the outside of the bui !ding is a contrast to the faster pace of life within the walls. Mrs. Boltinghouse, the French teacher, 36 made the observati on that, 'The foc us of the school is not that busy. It's the rushing from one class to another." In addition to Madsen and Boltinghouse, seven other new teachers became part of the St. Albert staff. They are as fo llows: Mrs. Jarrett, physical educati on and math; Fr. Witte, religion; Mrs. Schall es, bu siness education; Deacon Overcamp, reli gion; Mr. Mr. Kimble encourages class pa rticipation by using visual aids. Kimble, soci al studies, honors history, and government; Mrs. Leuschen, Spanish; and M. E. Ward, study hall. The student body readily accepted the new additions. Schall es commented, "St. Albert is an open welcoming communi ty. Due to the sma ll size of the schoo l, the fac ulty ge nera lly works together as o ne ." Every new schoo l year brings about new changes. The new teachers had to adapt to their new surroundings. Most fo und the adj u tment rather easy to achieve. "The atmosphere is one of caring and acceptance. " noted Schall es. Boltinghouse said , "The students' attitudes make teachi ng at St. Albert a pleasant ex perience. " The student body and the new teachers can·ied on St. Albert's trad iti on of bein o a 0 school high ly regarded in academi cs, extracurri cular activiti es, and prayer. They trul y are the beholder's of St. Albert's future and it is looking bright.

The effo rt that is given is usually a result"of the ty pe of person; there are also other factors in volved. A main contributor is the job. Teachers go overboard with all of the tasks they must complete. Most people do not reali ze all of the effort that teachers give.

These include: -l unch duty -detention duty -arri ving at school earl y or staying late fo r student retakes or to offer help in general -coaching -morning hall duty -teacher meetings Teachers are truly a gift.

During an era of constant changes, the future of the world turns to certain role models, idols, ... heroes. This is a time when our ideas, beli efs, and lifestyles are most exposed and are vulnerable to suggestion. The people in our lives may help us to find out who we really are. Nearly one-qua1ter of the St. Albert student popul ation have athletes as role models. As jackets, caps, and jersies show, sports are a large part of many people's lives. Parents, as well as other relati ves, are also accepted sources for guidance. Parents were once teenagers too. Although it seems they sometimes fo rget the questions they once had and the problems they once faced are similar to ours. For those that have no role models, why not? Together, learning can be easier, and our problems are not faced alone. Ken Griffey Jr. is looked up to by many young athletes.

Role Models: An Everlasting Impression By : Jeremy Quigley Staff Writer Role models he lp shape the future of the kids who look up to them. Lots of young children look up to them for advice, he lp and how to act. " Kids look fo r someone to fo llow and pattern themselves after," said psychology t acher Dick Wettengel. 'They like to identify with them." Ask.ing abo ut Charl es Barkley, who has publicly said that he doesn' t want to be a rol e model, brought a mi xed reaction. When you're in the spot light, "You can·t be who you really are," commented junior Mike Hoy. On the other hand, sophomore Jami e Richards said, "People can' t say don ' t look up to me . There are reasons why they are looked up to.'" People have different role models, from rock stars to grandparents. Hoy commented that his role model is his grandfather, "Because he worked hard whil e he was young and he helps people out now."· Richards said that her ro le model are her parents. "They can usually rememb r what it was like when they were your age." When finding a role model. keep in mind that they too can fail. Wettengel said the hardest things about havi ng a role model i , "If they fai l, how do you handle it?" Even though good role models are hard to find, don ·t give up looking.

This monumental occasion had been looming in the seniors' sights all year and had come at last. A few more tests and this year's seni ors were going to be gone. The last day came on May 22, a Monday. The soon to be grad uates celebrated their last day in the same way it has been ce lebrated for years, the after schoo l water fi ght. Seniors prepared by fillin g water balloons and water guns, and Matt Greave expressed the feelings of just about everyone when he said, "!' m pretty excited. " However happy the seni ors were to be leaving, there were mi xed feelings about going. Many people were anxio us about the colossal change they will experi ence whe n they reach college. Many students we re fee ling last mi nute pressures with fi na ls closing in so quic kly. There seemed to be too much to do in the last few days. The stre-.s of the last week was pretty bad. but many students foun d consolation in the fact that the fi nals they were taki ng were to be their last ever at SA. Along with the stress of the last few days came an insatiable urge to, we ll , to do nothing at all. Tony Re inhardt voiced his opinion. ·'Yes. I gues<; ifs hard to concentrate, I j ust want to be done." Whatever the feelings of the graduating class of 1995 were about lea ving, it was tirne fo r them to hi t the road.

This year, S.A. graduated 57 seniors who had put their time and effort into studies throughout the years, and still managed to be accomplished in all their endeavors. They knew that "Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice." Filled with knowledge and fo nd memories, these 57, together With fri ends and relatives, moved onward toward their next challenges in life. Commencement ceremonies started at 2:00 with the playing of "Pomp and Circumstance" by the Saint Albert high school band, fo llowed by an invocation by National Honor Society president Tony Reinhardt and a We lcome from senior class president Ann Narmi . Following these, the fo ur valedictori ans, Lesa Hoffman, Ryan Myers, Andy Nicholas and Amy Patten, gave their views of the future in articul ate fi ve minute speeches. While some stressed the importance of high school experiences, the dominant theme throughout all four was "We should work our hardest to achieve our destiny." After the ceremoni es had ended, Nicholas commented, "My voice was shaking, and I could fee l my heart pounding in my h ad." Mr. Gruber especially enjoyed some of Hoffman's comments, saying "I always thought that Kindergarten guy was full of it," referring to her allusion to the book All I Ever Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarten. A special musical section by a group of seniors fo llowed. They sang "It's Hard To Say Goodbye" by Don Besig and received a standing ovation from the '?w . Two special awards were presented afterwards. The spirit of St. Albert Award, going to Andy Ni cholas and Jess Anderson, and the St. Albert Award, presented to Dr. Anthony Romano. The fi nal speaker of the day might have been the most special of all. Bishop Joseph Charron gave the seniors some of his best advise with a scripture from Maccabees, "Only three things does God require: To act justl y, to love kindly, and to walk humbly with our God. " Seniors Joe Hargens, Josh Horner, and Chris Vanscoy realized that preparation for graduation began early, with measuring for cap and gown. - \ Ann Hansman lends Joe Hargens a helping Ann Hansman and Jess Andersen work hard cutting out the letters of their class motto. hand during decorating for graduation. .)5959595959~9595 The --0 Ider 9595959595959595 O"'..

After placing at the regional di vision, they went on to State. To be on the Academic Decathlon team a student can have a grade point average varying from 0.0 - 4.0. Junior Tony Fischer received a trophy fo r high indi vidual honors. He scored highest in five out of ten events. Mrs. Kenny said , "These kids are over- achievers, they amaze me, and it was sparatically intense." The purpose of Academic Decathlon is to compete against other schools. This is not only an ex perience in competition, but it is also a learning experience. Junior Michelle Yercio said, " I am learning from this because we are covering new areas that I will be able to use next semester. " The team had special training on bio - technology from Mrs. Mooney and on giving speeches by Mr. Wilson. To be prepared for the two competitions members of the team read novels and wrote essays while others taught different subj ects to the rest of the team. It was mostly student teachings on bi o - technology that prepared them for the competitions. Junior McClain Smouse said, 'The student teaching helped me the most. Students taught me different things." At the team's trip to state in Denison, they didn ' t do as well as they planned. Although the team didn 't reach their goal of attending nationals, there will be seven out of nine members returning to the team next year, and are hoping to reach their goal.

The band increased in numbers this year and had some new techinques to improve its sound. "It became more of a class environment instead of just practice," said junior McClain Smouse. The band also decided to cut loose and have a little fun this year by maki ng welcomed appearances at pep ra llies, football and basketball games and a wrestling dual. Other performances included masses, Christmas and spring concerts, the spring variety show, Adventure land, and the mall. The appearances were a new experience since most people haven't seen.

Choir Contestants Share Talents With Others By Theresa Rangel Staff Writer This was quite the year for the choir and Mrs. Stephany. The choir did a good job at contests and Mrs. Stephany had a baby boy, Brendan. The first event the choir practiced for was the Christmas season. They sang at the Mall of the Bluffs and sang for the students and fac ulty in the halls before Christma vacation. While Mrs. Stephany was gone , the choir was practicing for All-City and Mrs. Stu ntz took over. Mrs. Stephany's way of doing things was greatly missed. "With Mrs. Stuntz here we don' t work a hard and we don 't have our phms ready for the All-City music festival," said sophomore Jennifer Boettcher. Senior Chrissy Orwig thought that contest was the most fun . '"You get to meet a lot of people with the same interests as you. You were rated on performance, and it was a real learning experience," said Orwig. Many student have their own reasons for joining choir Junior Dan Koch likes choir "because you get to meet new people . ., Senior Kristy Meyer thought this year was better than previous years because "this year we have a lot more people in choir, and more guys that actually sing." Among the regular contests the choir had a Spring Concert, and All-City contest. "The music for All-City wa hard but we did fi ne. It was a lot of fu n being with people from different schools," aid Meyer. The goal of the choir was to "get more people to join, have fu n, and do quality performances,'' said Mrs. Stephany. ·The choir i a fun organization to join.

Hobt plans to stay at SA for a while so he believes the ministry will become more organized. Another change in this year's Campus Ministry was student involvement. Student were trained for specific duties, including lectoring and Eucaristic ministry. Senior Ann Narmi thought that the ministry allowed more student action.

The play was chosen by theatre arts teacher, Mr. Wilson and music teacher, Mrs. Stephany. The cast consisted of approx imately 12 students, along with numerous singing parts. The cast of "Working" had practices everyday a fter school in Mr. Wilson's room, the choir room, or in the auditorium for two or two and half hours.

Journalism is much more. "In journalism you learn how to meet deadlines and other important life skills like writing, using the computer and most importantly how to work with others, " said adviser Mrs. Benson In Journalism l, students learn how to develop pictures using chemicals such as T-Max or Fixer. Students also learn to write different kinds of stories, like features or sports, and how to do layouts for a newspaper. People found it to be a lot more work than expected. One student in pmticular was Journalism l student Theresa Rangel.. At first l thought it would be easy work but it turned out to be a lot of work, but it does get easier," said Rangel. It seemed that most people took journalism because they thought it might be an easy "A" , especially managing editor #2 Joe Stuhr. He said, "I took it because I thought it would be an easy class but I found out it helped me express myself better." Managing Editor #1 Nichoel Thompson took journalism because she "wanted to get more involved with the school and its activities. Also designing a book that your classmates m·e going to look at yem·s from now makes you feel a little important." If you're going to take journalism for an easy "A" think again. There is a lot of work involved in Journalism l and II. The Journalism I Staff: front: Erin Horner, Johnna Hargens, Anne Burgett, Theresa Rangel, Lucia Sanchez, Mark Mortensen.

Members paced up and down SA' s home street and found anything from pop cans to memorabilia from last year's state basketball tournaments. However, the chapter not only required its members to participate in these projects, but also encouraged its members to participate in their own service proj ects. According to senior and first-year-member Chrissy Orwig, " I enjoy this, especially because of the type of responsible people who participate in this." The most important lessons learned from NHS may be their meetings, held monthly in room l 09. Students propose the chapter's up-coming activities, group into committees and vote on bills. According to President Reinhardt, "You have to lead from an agenda and make sure everyone else does their job." NHS President Tony Reinhardt gives a speech during the NHS induction.

They have done pop cans, Catholic Schools Week, Red Ribbon Week and many more events, but now with Prom and Graduation upon them, more of a burden is put on them. Even though it is a commanding job, it is still fun and enjoyable. Junior class officer Ben Koch said, " I like the fact that I' m representing the class." Sophomore Andrew Regan took a more educational approach when he said, " It looks good on your college application." With the success of past events and wanting to be successful this year, the class officers can feel a little pressure. And with Prom and Graduation, it was very important to the class officers and to the entire student body that these events be a success. Koch commented, "I feel a little pressure because last year's Prom was so good." But with Graduation, Senior class officer Tony Reinhardt said, " I don' t really feel any pressure because we made all the preparations earlier this year and we made the decisions as a class. There is also pressure on the class sponsors for these events. Junior class adviser, Mrs. Mooney, said, "We're in charge of Prom, which includes fundraising, organizing, decorating, cleaning-up, and chaperoning." Senior class sponsor Ms. McGuire commented, 'Tm in charge of organizing a representative to get invitations and senior voting. Also I take orders for graduation, have a mass and breakfast, and a mass and dinner with the parents."

Student Council Reps Give 100% by: Johnna Hargens staff writer The Student Council members are responsible for a number of activities throughout the year, but especially to raise school spirit, organize activities and set a good example for other students in the chool. They also develop responsibility, initiative, and cooperation among students and the administration. One of the biggest events was the magazine drive. Students surpassed all goals for the drive, earning $15,000. The Student Council was also in charge of Catholic Schools Week. They planned and set up the activities. Some of the new activities were the student/ teacher volleyball tournament and an afternoon of movies, pop and popcorn for seniors. "Being on Student Council helps me to be more involved with the school, and it is a lot of fun," said sophomore vice president, E1in Ryan. Another activity they were responsible for was Red Ribbon Week. The Student Council members gave out red ribbon stickers to show support for a drug-free lifesty ule. To help heighten the awareness of the dangers of drinking and driving, members handed out black sweartshirts to tudents to represent those that had died in alcoholrelated accidents. Being on Student Council required a lot of dedication. Senior and president of the Student Council, Andy Nicholas said, "I enjoyed being on Student Council because I liked interacting and working with people and I liked the projects we did."

As students attending St. Albert High School we are part of a legend. "The school on the hill", rich in traditions that have been kept since the last brick was laid, the school itself could be called a legend. Yet, the real legends at SA are the students. Each student has a story. This book will tell that story, the story about each and every one of us and our involvement in our school. Without the people who populate the hallways and classrooms, what would this school be? Nothing but a hollow shell with no legends of the past, no legends in the making, and no future legends. We are the legends of St. Albert, and together we have created the legend of 1996. The activHies that took place this year were made memorable by the students who took part in them. The sporting events that were won, were won only because there were many talented athletes and coaches who gave it their all to bring home a victory. Organizations were successful in their endeavors because of the time and hard work put in by all those involved. And of course, the school year itself could not have been such a fortuitous learning experience if there were no teachers, administrators, or students. With this in mind, think again about the definition of the word legend. Are you a legend? Yes, you are, and so is everyone who attends SA. We are all legends individually, and we are all part of the St. Albert legend. All of us are "legends" . As long as we are a part of St. Albert we al ways will be.

" Peace Out!!!" 00000 5 Student Life Memories of Summer1995 Copy Editor Rachel Olsen Remember those days of summer? The times of sleeping late, getting out of your pajamas around 2:00 p.m., hanging out with your friends during the day, doing tfiings only if you wanted to and not having a care in the world? Ahh, summer! Just when you get use to it, BOOM! School starts. Soon you're back to the monotone days of homework and studying. To enliven the lonely and somewhat boring days of school, SA students reflected on the days of summer, 1995. Some students had summer vacations full of excitement. Others enjoyed the simple, good life. Senior Jodie Friedrichsen said her summer basically consisted of "going to Cabana pool and basking in the sun." Student Life 6 Junior Holly Swanek had what most would call an exciting summer. She was lucky enough to go on a vacation to the Bahamas without her parents or any adult upervision ! Swanek stated, "It was great!" For most students the typical smnmer afternoon consisted of going to the pool, going to work and just staying cool with the A.C. In the evening most students hung out with their friends, relaxed and went to work. On an average most students slept in between the hours of ten a.m. and noon. Summer was a time for fun and trying new things. Senior James Schwery went down to Fort Benning, GA for basic training. Summer 1995 is over but far from forgotten, as SA students look back with smiles. The Summer sun reminds us of those lazy days when we had time for friends, family, and fu o.

An Alarming Beginning Advertising Lucia Sanchez The alarm goes off, you reach over to turn it off, wonderino "' why you must get up so early in . the morning. Then it hits you. The nightmare you had just awaken from is actually a reality, today is the first day to get up and go back to school. Being back up on the hill brought several different fee lings for each student. A few of the students were more than happy to be back into the swino of "' things. "I wanted to see everybody again, ya know? !" said senior Ben Koch. However, a majority of the student body agreed that being back was all work and no play. " I wasn' t looking forward to coming back because of a ll the homework and stuff - I hardly ever have any free time to myse lf, especially during the beginning of the school year," sa id junior Melissa Kroll. ·Tm not glad to be back in school because I'm not a senior yet," said sophomore Joe Beltran. "I kinda wish it was still summer so that way I could swim and lay out and spend more time with my fri ends," said freshman Anitra Mendoza. Each year as a student grows older, being a part of each high school class takes on its own meaning. As a freshman a student is finall y considered a part of high school, which is a big step up in the teenage years. Freshmen were allowed to attend high school dances. Being a sophomore gave each student a chance at a varsity position in any sport Sophomores were offic ially able to operate a motorized vehicle by themselves (no permit required) and were also no longer the youngest in high school. Juniors were no longer "underclassmen. " It was the first year they were allowed to attend the prom. A junior could take certain courses for college credit, a head start on their senior year. Seniors "ruled the school." Being the "Big Kahuna's'" added a lot of stress, but most seniors seemed to handle it well knowing it was their last year. "It's tough being a senior because of all the stress you have making the right decisions that will affect your future, but at the same time you' re still a teenager and want to hang out with your friends and j ust have fun," said senior Jason McGruder. Although most seniors were glad it was the last year of high school, a few wi ll mi being "up on the hill." Regardless the most anticipated event for all seniors was graduation day. Although there were many mixed feelings about going back to school, school' a reality and the sooner you got up, the faster you got out!

Change sweeps SA Marketing Editor Erin Horner The St. Albert students started off the new year with many changes. Among these were: Homeroom, early bird classes, new uniforms, and an IBM lab. Instead of students racing down the hallways between 8:00 and 8:25, stndents must now be at schooi by 8: 10. This change is due to the addition of homeroom. During homeroom, students watched Channel One. While most of the students were coming to school at 8: 10, some students were ready for their second class of the day . These students were part of the new early-bird program. This gave students a chance to come to school early and leave early. The IBM lab was a change not overlooked by the students. It gave them a chance to Left: Ken Graeve gets his work done during early bird Advanced Biology .. . "The early bird gets the worm!" to work with a different type of computer. Senior Jeremy Quigley said "I prefer the IBM, because I have one at home." One of the most noticeable changes wa the new uniforms for students. S.A. girls had new skirts and a broader variety of pants to choose from. "The new uniforms are alright, but I don't care for the pleats" said freshman LaChrista Woods. Boys were limited to the color of pants and shirts. They had to wear a white, yellow or light blue dress shirt. Pants had to be navy, khaki, black, gray or hunter green. The new year brought about new things. Although some disagreed with the changes, a majority agreed. However. the benefits of progress will continue to be appreciated in the times to come.

The seniors realized that this would e their last homecornming as students instead of almuni. The week started off with pajama day. Tuesday was formal dress day because of the homecoming mass. Wednesday was back to the craziness with armed forces day. Thursday was time to dig through the closets becuase it was past generations day. The pep rally on Thursday got the students pumped up for a little fun and festivities on Saturday, the dance. The mood was set for a disco night on the town. Above: Senior Anna Gerjevic looks cute in her pajamas as she perkily beams at the photographer. Student Life 10 The pep rally faced off the classes in a little friendly class to class competition. The juniors prevailed in the contest, followed by the seniors, sophomores and freshmen. One of the better games to watch for a good laugh was the eating contest. Matt Heenan kept that tradition alive by getting pudding all over the gym and getting very little in his mouth. It may not have been the best way to eat but it was good enough for the victory. The pep rally was concluded with the crowning of . Marty Hughes and Anna Gergavic as the 1995 royalty.

A heartbreaking game for the Falcons Advertising Editor J ohnna Hargens "When it rains it pours." Though no water fe ll from the sky, there was plenty in the eyes of S.A. players and fans after losing the Homecomjng game 14-0 against CA-M. No matter how it looked on fi lm, or from the stands, the Falcons never gave up hope. Junior quarterback Ryan Stuntz, who led the Falcons through previous wins was disappointed. "The intensity was there but the execution was questionable," he said. Breakdowns, whether mental or physical, overwhelmed the team's spirit that night. The Falcons tri ed to stay mov iated thoughout the season so that they could pl ay well at this game. Playing well does not always mean a win, but learni ng how to play football does occur at every game.

Disco hits such as ' Disco In fe rno," " YMCA," "Ce lebrate," and "Staying Ali ve" were bl asted by the disc jockey. Pictures were taken by Jack Hanson Photography. Like John Travo lta, who danced a long as the disco hit mov ie Saturdav Ni ght Fever played, students were encouraged to come dressed in disco style. The two major standouts were junior Charli e Nanni and senior Joey Stock. Narmi came decked out in a powder blue tuxedo with ruffles whil e Stock went fo r the leisure suit look in glistening white. Both dazz led the ladi es. Whether dressed in disco attire or just dancing to the best disco hits, all the students who attended the dance had a good time.

Many SA students were a part of this work force . At jobs ranging from a grocery store to a day care, the student body found their ni che in the world of the working. Some of these students loved their jobs and some hated them, but all agreed that the extra money came in handy. Seni or Nick Lownes, who taug ht g uita r !es ons at Lidgett Music, liked his job.

Managing Editors Lizzy Gorman Anne Burgett The fi na l be ll just rang, you go to your locker and j am some books into your bag. Why? Because it's Friday! You are in fo r a weekend of fun and excitement. So, what do you do for fun on your weekend? Because we know that the weekend can be a very boring thing if you have nothing to do, and the usua l options (mov ies, the Old Market), are getting reall y sta le, we thought up a few activities to spice up your only time away from you-know-where. If you're yearning fo r outdoor excitement, roller-blad ing and biking are good options. The Wabash Trace is a beautiful place to go riding on a ni ce day. However, good weather conditions are a must. You could always go fo r a hike, whi ch is great exerc ise, and can be done anywhere. Just be sure that if you go out wa lking at night you wea r re fl ective clothing. There are some outdoor winter ac ti vities you can take part in . One that is enterta ining, yet slightly expensive, is snow skiing at Mt.Crescent. Of course, we cannot forge t the all time favo rite winte r acti vity ... sledding. Whether you take your little siblings or go with your friends, sledding is fun fo r everyone. A way to spice up your mov ie going experience is go ing the dri ve-in movi e theater. It sounds k ind of 1950's, but it's really fun and you get three mov ies fo r the pri ce of one. lndoor weekend ac ti viti es can inc lude roll erskati ng or ice-skating.

Ice skating is a popular acti vity, also. Hitchcock indoor ice rink is the place most frequented for teenagers looking fo r some thrills. It is often crowded and might make your ankles sore but watching your dearest friends dust ice shavings off the ir bums after a Kamikaze style wipe out is worth the pain. Of course there is always the good old stand by, going over to a friend's hou e and watching mov ies. Here is a list of our favo rite mov ies to watch on a night when there is nothing else to do: Fast Times at Ridgemont Hi gh, Sixteen Candles, Weird Science, Animal House, The Breakfast Club, St. Elmo's Fire, the list is never-ending! It can even be relaxing to spend some time with friends and not really do anythi ng but sit aro und. These are some of the more exciting, or at least really fu n, weekend activities. Yet the big standout is surprisingly simply hanging out with friends at each others' houses. Freshman Andy Smith said, "A big night for me is when me and the guys sneak out to girls' houses at 2:00 a.m." So, whether you opt for a big ni ght out, or just sitting around with friends, make the best of your weekends because Monday means five more days of the s-word.

Guys look studious in their rented tuxes wondering if they will have any money left after that night, but then reali ze that they will do anything to please their date. This year's prom lived up to the expectations. It was decorated in a medi eval motif. And was so properly call ed "Oh What A Kni ght." A gossarnar ceiling, waterful , wall decorations, a large moat, and a castle completed the medieval theme. Juniors were responsible for setti ng up and cleaning up. They worked after school until ten at night the entire week before prom under the supervision of Ju li e Mooney and Thomas J. Kaup. No prom would be complete without a Icing and queen. The junior court included Annie Heithoff, Melissa Kroll , Amy Vanfossan, Ken Graeve, Charlie Narmi, and Ryan Stuntz. The seniors chosen were Christie Burke, Lindy Andersen, Lizzy Gorman, Andy lrwin, Tim Murray, and Kelly Thomas. Lindy Andersen and Kelly Thomas were selected as king and queen. "Oh What A Knight" was a prom to remember for both juniors and seniors. Dancing close by your date or just breaking it down instill memories a camera can' t capture.

This team of brains made it to state for the second year in a row. The Academic Decathalon team meets challenges in a number of academic areas: speech, math, science, social science, fine arts, literature, economics, essay, prepared speech, impromtu speech, an interview, and a super quiz. The team did very well at state, placing ninth among small schools.

Fischer commented, "We improved over the last year as a team. Organizations 28 We had higher scores and a higher rank." Academic Decathalon requires team efforts with individual performance. The Academic Decathalon team meets three days a week during 08. At these times the students use team work by quizzing each other, to prepare each other for competetion. Mrs. Kenny stated, "I usually don't teach, I sit back and watch them help each other and all I do is coach them along." There are three levels of the Academic Decathalon team: Varsity, Scholastic, and Honors. The Varsity team includes anyone wi th a "C" average or lower, but not failing. The Scholastic team includes anyone with a "B" average. The Honors team consists of anyone with an "A" average. The 1996 St. Albert Academic Decathalon team had 1 I members. Next year the Academic Decathlon team will lose 7 members due to gradutation. According to Mrs. Kenny, the team will not be hurting. "St. Albert students have a lot of talent.

Competitive Drama "A Time to Go Home" Advertising Editor J ohnna Hargens Every year the drama department puts together a one ac t play that goes to competi tion. The one act chosen usuall y deals with rea l life issues that young people face. This year's one act was entitled: "A Time to Go Home." It was about fo ur teens who were kill ed in an alcohol-related car accident. The characters look back in their li ves and see how time has qui ck ly passed and things they wished they could have changed. They see everything happening as if they were there. They see the pain their famili es are goi ng thro ugh. In this afte r life they lea rn to accept the fact that they are dead and reali ze that it is time to go home (heaven). Depressing and sad as the play may be, this team of artists managed to make it to superstate . Receiving I ratings at Distri cts moved the team to State. At State, they also received I ratings whi ch moved them to superstate. It's not easy to achieve superstate. Hours of practi ce, and good attitudes got these talented young ac tors there. Junior Mary Beth Ryan stated, "We improved after every performance and the best one shined th rough at superstate." This year's cast was a mi xture of very experienced and inexperi enced ac tors. There were a number of students making their first appearence on stage. However, this didn ' t stop these determined performers. Ryan commented, " It's a lot of fun competing in drama, and making it to superstate made it worthwhile."

Talking All the Way to the Top Advertising Editor J ohnna Hargens Individual Speech members compete in a number of areas including poetry, prose, acting, and story-telling. Individual Speech is more difficul t than many people think. It is also very time consuming. Sophomore Meghan Beresford said, "I wasn't exactly prepared when I performed. and I didn't do so good." As you can see it requires much time, practice, and effort. There were five participants involved with the Individual Speech Contest this year. They were j unior John D' Ang lo and sophomores Ben Nicholas, Meghan Beresford, Ellen Masker, and Joe Hensley. Although four of the participants didn · t advance to state, lone star sophomore Ben Nicholas advanced to state, and then onto superstate, receiving a I rating at Districts, three I ratings at State, and I at superstate. Ben Nicholas performed in the area of tory-telli ng. He did a section of '·Encounter" by Jane Yolen. When asked how he thought he did, Nicholas sa id. "At District I was kind of nervou , but really excited. As soon as I made it to tate, I became even more ne rvous." Havi ng to perform against some of the top performers isn ·t easy fo r anyone. Nicholas stated, "As soon a I made it to superstate I wasn't nervou anymore. l knew I had to be good to make it, and I wa good enough.'' 29 Organizations Above: Ms. Stephany, seen playing the piano, conducted the choir through various Masses and field trips.

So what does the Student Council do? The things the S.C. does fo r the school requires a lot of extra time. They organized the school dances, including "Disco Inferno" the ever famous Homecoming dance. The council also does a lot to boost schoo l spirit. They sponsor spirit days as we ll as fun days such as "Senior Come Late Day .'· "We also make welcome signs fo r new students" to let them know they are part of our school family. Probably the worst duty that the student council has would be pop can duty. Yuck! Fischer's statement is echoed by all the S.C. members. "Pop cans are so disgusting!" Does S.C. give the students a voice in how our school is ran? The answer is both yes and no. Fischer said "The schoo l board is really in charge. We can say what we want them to do, but it's not like they will always listen to us." Senior Ben Koch looked at the more positive aspect. "Being on S.C. is a way to present your ideas about school.

Howeve r, that illusion is de finite ly fa r from the reality. Journalism I and II students work ve ry hard on projects such as the yearbook, Dimensions and the newspaper, Accipiter. The Journalism II c lass of 1995-96 worked mainly on the yearbook. Photograph editors were Jeremy Quigley, Theresa Range l, and Mark Mortensen. Advertising editors were Johnna Hargens and Luci a Sanchez. In charge of layout and computers was Ray Gibson, and copy editing was done by Rache l Olsen. The index editor was Erin Horner, and co-managing editors were Anne Burgett and Lizzy Gorman. The stress of being in charge did get to be too much at times. " I just cry a lot," was Rachel Olsen's solution to her stress problems. According to managing editor Anne Burgett, getting rid of stress requires letting off some steam. " I handle the tress by having sessions with my co-managing editor, Lizzy Gorman," she said. The adv isor fo r the year was Mr. Thomas Kaup ; new to the school, and new to journalism. Speaking of his position, Kaup said, " I Jove it. I fee l bad because I didn ' t know much in the beginning, but I have ~arn d a lot.

The ninth grade team started the season with a tie to Lewis Central. However, the frosh didn 't let their spirits fall, and they ended up with a 6-0-1 record for the season. The first game was a downer for the Falcons. Phil Graeve said, "We should have won agai nst Lewis Central, we just weren't prepared." Although the fres hmen tied the first game, they improved throughout the year. Graeve said, "We improved a lot by the end of the year. We had some injuries at first." Junior Varsity had a rougher road to travel than the freshman. With a small team, and some players moving up to varsity throughout the season, they had many obstacles to tackle. Sophomore Joe Ord II said, "The beginning was really hard." Although the beginning of the season l)roved to be a cha!Jenge, the team improved much by the last game. "We improved a lot even though we lost a lot of people to the varsity team," said Ord. The JV record was 2-5 . Both the ninth grade and the junior varsity teams did well this year, and continued the fine tradition of Falcon football.

Advertising Editor Johnna Hargens Staff Writer Meghan Beresford They have - a small number of participants, very little experience, and no court to play on! But despite the odds, the St. Albert boys and girls tennis teams worked together this year to become the best they could be -and had fun doing it. Competing for players with large group sports such as soccer and track isn ' t easy. Tennis attracts only a small number of students, many of whom have never even picked up a racket! Sophomore Ashley Arnold was one of the newcomers. Commenting on learning the sport, she says "It's a lot of fun, but it's so much harder than people think." At the other end of the spectrum, Junior Heather Johnson is a seasoned three year veteran. She also acknowledges that the season can be difficult for the less experienced players. "Court time is limited , but needed." she notes. Sophomore Kelly Harrington provided an optimistic summary of the '96 season: "Our team improved a lot this year with experience." The girls commented on the work of coac hes Jonna Andersen and Jan Dahlgaard, both Above: of whom are new to the program. Says Andersen of the team: "I think they ' ve got a lot of potential. We don ' t have any seniors, so the team can grow together. This may have been our best season in a long, long time. " Ironically, the boys tennis team also acquired a new coach this year- Sam Karr. And they, like their female counterparts, pride themselves on the work they put into the season. Junior Marc Petersen cites "a lot of talent" and " team unity" as the teams' main strong points. "We're pretty good," he says, "Tough to beat." Petersen also claims that this years' younger team, which includes only two seniors, will be at an advantage in the near future. "Other school will lose a lot of good players. We aren ' t affected as much." The boys work hard and hope to achieve greatness in the future, but for now, they're content to have a blast. As for the overal I season, Junior Ken Graeve sums it up: "We' re the greatest, but we lose a lot." Graeve attributes all losses not to lack of talent, but to too many prematch tacos at Jonesys. The boys would also like to thank Sam Karr for his time and effort. Congrats to both teams on a fun and exciting season, and keep swingin ' !

Students are the center of the school, but it's the faculty and staff that make St. Albert go around. Teachers devote much of their time to helping out students. They are seen in the mornings and the afternoons tutoring their students, always offering to give up their spare time to help the students to better understand their classes. Many students fee l that if they didn 't get the extra help from teachers, their grades wouldn't be as good. Senior Anne Burgett said, "Mrs. Swartz always helps me with calculus, if she didn' t help me, I would never understand it". Everyone has had some good and bad times with their teachers, but at St. Albert the only times we have are the good ones.

They did it again! The 1996 Falcon Baseball Team took the Di vision 2A State Champion Title, blowing away schools all across the state who had never heard of St. Albert as well as SA students themselves. The boys, who were state qualifiers in 1995, decided as a team that their season goal was to reach the state tournament in Marshalltown again. The hope of wi nning the tournament was just a speck on the hori zon- but it was enough. The Falcons started the ir year off moderately, despite the hard work and dedi cation. Then, slowly, the ir efforts began to pay off. The team "clicked", with the ir game building to acrescendo at the State Tournament. ln the ir first round matchup against Osage, the Falcon team smoothly slid by. And in the Above: The Falcons huddle for a team prayer following the game. Above: The Falcon fans cheer on the baseball team at the semifinal game against Dyersville Beckman. Left: Dean Gray encourages fellow teammmate Eric Janecek during the Sioux Central, Sioux Rapids game. Right: Eric Janecek hurls another deadly pitch in the semi-final game. semifinal round, the boys crushed Sioux Central, Sioux Rapids. In the Championship game, pressure mounted as Eric Janecek took the mound. These boys handled it well. The Falcons dominated the whole game, proving that the underdogs can come out on top. And that spirited message will not be forgotten. When the players have graduated and the celebrations are over, the banner will still hang in the gym, the trophy will beam out of its case, and the memory of the team that went in as underdogs and came out as champions will always linger in our minds. CONGRATS 1996 FALCONS ON A SUCCESSFUL YEAR! Congratulations State Champions Above: Above: The Falcons shake hands with the opposing team, Sioux Central Sioux Rapids, after the semi-final victory. The Falcons then went on to play Dyersville, Beckman in the championship finals. Senior first baseman Dana Schwa rtz gets under a foul fly ball.

Eric J anecek went on to be named to the AllTournament Team, and the Council Bluffs City Baseball Player of the Year. The 96 Legend ends here and ... LEGENDS NEVER DIE Another year is closed. This book is filled with the pictures and narrative of a year in the life of the institution we call St. Albeit. We have attempted to tell the story of this year. While it is impossible to capture the events, emotions, and energy of an entire year in 122 pages, we hope that this book will serve as a brief reminder of all that the year of 1995-1996 brought to the community of St. Albert. Each hallway, each classroom, and each space in this building carries the echoes of voices gone before. Each desk has served as a seat of learning for a student. Each pew in our chapel has served as a place for prayer. Our voices_ now become part of this legendary song. All legends have a beginning. All students have a start somewhere. The following two pages are a glimpse into that beginning, the promise and joy of childhood. These glimpses of the SA senior class of 1996 remind us of the joy and energy brought to the task of becoming a legend. And they also remind us of how far we have come, and how far we have yet to go. May the joy of our youth, expressed on these pages, never die! 119 Student Life Student Life 120 121 Student Life BEST WISHES to the Class of 1996 Saint Albert High School Administration, Faculty, and Staff St. Albert Jr. Sr. High School 400 Gleason Avenue Council Bluffs, Iowa 51503 (712) 328-2316 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

(Photo By Marc Petersen) Student Life 25 What Do You Do? Sixty-seven SA students/ faculty members were surveyed about weekends. The results were pretty interesting. Check it out ... When asked about the most significant thlng in their weekend, 24% of those surveyed responded SLEEP! Above: seniors Ken Graeve, Stephanie Roste.rmundt and Alex Estell model their sleepwear. Below: Junior Chad Schoening stocks merchandise while sophomore Blake Roux (right) proves that there IS a helpful smile in every aisle at Hy-Vee. 26 Student Life Above: Senior snoozers Marti Bartholomew, Megan VanScoy, and Sarah Stronck show us proper form and technique. Work 57% surveyed work outside the home, 9% have jobs around the house including babysitting, cooking and cleaning, and 18 % say they are responsible for both. The overwhelming asset to having a job is apparently the money (36%). The ne t hest thing is friendly coworkers (31 % ). Play Of 67 surveyed, weekends found 81 % with friends, 24 % alone, and 18% spending time on other activities such as homework, church, and work. As for friends, 51 % say their buds are mostly from SA, 24 % say they hang with friends from other schools, and 24 % say they have fri ends from both. The best hangouts? Friends' houses, say 70 % . 16 % prefer sporting events, 13 % opt for movies, and 10 % voted for restaurants. 43 % surveyed must be home between midnight and l:OOam, 34 % have no curfew, and the r est ranged from lO:OOpm to 2:00am. Clockwise, from right: Senior Annie Heithoff and junior Jeremy Epperson say "What's up?" as frosh Chris Lownes ducks the can1era, freshmen Tom Hauser and Sam Bjorling strike a pose, juniors Molly Borman, Michelle Grote and Courtney Wandersee show their glee following the Saintes' final District game, senior Amy Vanfossan relieves stress on senior Andrew Regan, juniors Becky Firestone and Wendy Clayton demonstrate how we all feel on Friday night, and (center) junior Chad Schoening perfects his slam dunk. Student Life 27 What Do You Like? Many trends have been observed at SA. Below are a few prominent examples of trends and fads. See how many are yours. Fab Fashion! Fashion is a major part of any teens' life. From what to wear on grub day to what to look stylin' in at the dance, fashion is an always an issue. This year saw a dramatic 70's Retro movement, including bell bottoms and polyester, which (needless to say) the Dimensions staff thought was DYNO-MITE! Take a look at some of the other ''happening" styles .... Above: Seniors Heather Johnson and Ashley Wills show off their Homecoming duds. Left: Luke Martin smiles winningly, glad that his fashion sense has finally been recognized. Bottom Left: Juniors Mary Burgett and Michelle Grote prove that there are even different styles of uniforms. Mary (right) models the pommers' uniform, while Michelle shows off the volleyball jersey and traditional skirt. On opposite page (clockwise from top) Compact Disks are a favorite music media for teenagers; these are some of the favorites of various tastes, a glam leopard skin pen shows just how far Americas' infatuation with faux fur has gone, Doc Marten boots are all the rage (as proved by the lovely 02 study hall inhabitants), Christina Hasenkamp strikes a pose, showing the long wavy hair that is popular among teenage girls, and (center) Danny Reilly models a fashion all his own. 28 Student Life Fads! What was "in" in '96 and '97? Trends went in and out like clockwork. Dr. Marten Boots were all the rage, clogs became cool, and the color lime green started mysteriously popping up everywhere. Glitter eyeshadow and nail polish became the makeup of choice for some girls, while others stuck with their more traditional routines. Leopardskin, zebra, and snakeskin prints showed up on everything from swimsuits to bathrobes (faux, of course), and some guys began sporting painted nails but never the color pink-boys mostly sport shades of blue, green and pur:ple ... perhaps inspired by CK Jeans ads showing a blue-nailed boy? As for movies, the natural disaster theme was popular (Twister, Earthquake, Daylight, Volcano) and in music, alternative is still #1, according to a student survey conducted in fall of '96. Other trends: anything with "froggies" on it, toe rings, body piercing, and bracelets and necklaces spelling out your name.

Laughter and tears. So much to learn. But we always knew we'd survive. Stand aside, take a glance. We can't stop the changing times. We must release our fears and keep the memories forever in our minds. There's lonely places and ugly faces. Sometimes we'll forget who we are. Justl hink back and remember. Somewhere children are playing. A crowd cheers in the stands. The boy who once stood on that field has now become a man. We could sit among friends and never forget how it felt at that second, moment, instant. So go ahead and cry. But take my advice ... Stand back, take a look ... these are the days of our lives. - Becky Nutter Student Life 33 PROM Business Manager Heather Johnson PROM NOTABLES *Ken Graeve and Annie Heithoff were crowned King and Queen. *Mrs. Mooney, Father Hobt, and Mr. Drummond shared the pleasure and thrill of sponsorship. *Juniors raised over $4000 to pay f or Prom decorations, music, and Prom mementoes.

The 1996 St. Albert footbalJ team had another fi ne season last fall, finishing with a stellar 8-1 record. Despite the sad death of long-time coach Al Leber and the almost perennial small size of the team, this was one of the most successful seasons in recent years. 'There is a sense of pride in being part of a terun ," said j unior flanker Jake Driver. "It's a group you'll always be a part of." The team rolled to several exciting victories over the course of the season, including a 23-22 victory over WestwoodWhiting and a thrilling 21 -20 win over MapleValley. At one point, the terun was ranked # J in Southwest Iowa (according to the Daily Nonpared), and even dented the state ratings with a #9 ranking in class 2A. If not for an unfortunate, season-ending 13- 10 loss at Missouri Valley, the team would have been district champion and made the playoff for the first time si nce 1991. Despite the disappointment of the Missouri Valley game , the l996 team was anything but a failure, and, hopefully this season will be a blueprint for easons to come.

Finishing strong at each meet and capturing a 2nd place at Distri cts guaranteed the team a spot at the State meet in Fort Dodge. It was then that each runner stepped up to the challenge and proved themselves worthy by capturing a 13th place team fi nish with senior Joe Kuehl taking 3rd place individually. Kuehl ended his season with the MVP award and made All-State with his perfo rmance. Each member of this team deserves praise for their hard work and effort and should be recognized for their outstanding talent. Mr. Heithoff had trouble with the concept that these people actually liked running miles at a time. "I never quite understood why anyone would run if no one was chasing them. But if you like to go to State and wear your hair funky, then it's a good thing to do", he said. If Joe Kuehl's new "do's" fo r each of his State appearances and the team's record say anything, it is that this good thing will never end.

Student Life 105 106 AI Leber 1919-1996 Al Leber was one of the greatest people to grace St. Albert with his presence. He was always present in the school, on the field, and around the school in general. His influence has been felt by all who have attended1 will attend, and are attending St. Albert High School. They may not have been touched directly by him, but everyone who walks through the halls of St. Albert has been affected by him. Al Leber was a coach for numerous sports at St. Albert. He taught classes at the high school. He was always pushing for a better St. Albert both in the cJassroom and on the athletic field. Although most people didn' t get to work with him directly, they knew of him or what he had done. When we think of great people of St. Albert, Al Leber is one of the first, if not the first, to come to mind. By: Dimension '97 Staff Memories ... Al Leber displaying the pike he caught on a trip to Minnesota, in 1990. Coach Leber was known for his love of the outdoors, along with his love for the community of St. Albert. The Soul of a Friend By: Tom Houser A short time ago, there was a coach at St. Albert High School. The coach's name was Al Leber. He was probably the best friend a guy could have. Coach Leber didn't yell and scream. He simply just asked, "Why don 't you try it this way?" It usually ended up that his way was the best. On October 3rd, 1996, he died of a heart attack in Glenwood, Iowa. Although Coach Leber died, his spirit will live on at St. Albert. The day after Coach Leber passed away, the football players had the toughest game of their season. Friday night's varsity game was probably the best game I have ever seen St. Albert play. I, along with the rest of the Freshman football team, suited up for that fate filled game against the Rebels from Westwood-Whiting. I stood on the sideline yelling myself hoarse the whole game. A feeling of p1ide kicked in as the stadium began to get louder and louder as the end of the game neared. We won the game, but we lost. We lost a coach, a leader, and most of all, a friend. The presence of Al Leber was with every St. Albert football player that night. Coach Leber' s soul will live on in the heart of every player who ever puts on a Green and Gold jersey. 107 Above : Senior Joe Kuehl won the Class 2A 3200 meter run at Drake University in Des Moines.

Groundbreaking happened twice at S.A. during 1996-1997. First the sod was broken for the new 300 wing. Students moved into the new !Vlusic Center and Art Center during the second semester. These beautiful new facilities pictured here offer new space for the expanding Fine Arts Department and are a special tribute to all those who support our school. Shovels again hit the dirt, this time as an extension onto the 500 wing of the school. The new Science and Technology wing promises to bring state of the art facilities for science, mathematics, and computers. As the physical plant continues to expand, the mission of Saint Albert remains ever the same; a solid Catholic education for the community of Council Bluffs. Right: Once again the sod is turned with the promise of a rich harvest. The groundbreaking pictures the members of the St. Albert Educational Foundation: Mr. Jon Narmi, Bishop Joseph Cha rron, Dr. J ohn Cronin, Mr. Stt:ve O'Neill, Mr. Pat Hensley, Mr. Gaylord Epperson, and Mr. Ron Thompson. The old tennis courts shall be transformed into a beautiful new wing for science and technology. The wing will include a glassed in atrium filled with plants for study by the Biology students, new Chemistry labs and equipment, and many other features. The academic future is bright for the growing student population a t St. Albert. (Photo by Cail /n,.in) Above: Senior Colin O'Toole works diligently in the new Art Room.

This state-of-the-art fiber optics classroom is equipped with the latest technology. SA students can interact in real time with other students and faculty connected to the over 400 ICN sites across the state. Mr. Mike Irwin of the AEA gave the faculty an in-service in the room in the spring. Students have already ust:d the room to interactively tou r J oslyn Mllseum, in teract with stud ent councils across t he state, and network with other schools.

At first, I thought this would be an easy tasK. All I needed was a full yearbook page of writing, right? Wror:i§! fie firs time I sat down to write about this wonderfully simple concept, I realized how difficult it was to apply "True @olors" to St. Albert High School. "Whafthe heck are the true colors of St. Albert?" I knew they were not just green and gold, but what are the true colors? ®ur adviser, Mr. Tom Kaup, my fellow managing Eeiitor, Molly Borman and I tried many different angles. We assigned a color to each division of our yearbook, and had people describe how the color relates to the division. We got things back like, "Red represents sports, because red is an excellent color and St. Albert is known for excellence in sports." This wa~ not wbat we were looking for. Back to the drawing board. Next we tried to describe the outside appearance of the school and then describe the many colors an outsider would not see. This was closer to what we were looking for, but was still not what "True Colors" really meant to us. I then decided to put the theme aside and continue to work on the rest of the yearbook. For the next eight months I would pull the theme folder out of my work box and look at it, but would then mutter something to myself and put it away fpr another day. That "ane!her day" did not come for a long time. So here I am, three days after graduation, trying to figure out what the tnerme of this yearbooR we have been putting together for the last year, means. In one last desperate attempt, I sought out the help of our vet6'an art teacher, Ms. Deborah McGuire. Who better to tell me ab0ut colors, then the Color Wheel Queen herself? She gave me a Macintosh disk full of her own writings on the subject. I tromRed down to the old mac lab and found a computer that was sti ll in working order. I put in the disk and pulled up the iive or six saved files. I found her poems and stories fun and amusin§, but nothing really useful. That is, until I got to a story called the "Crayon Factory." I read: ·crayons are born, wrapped in paper, all dressed alike. All arranged . . . gentle pressure from all sides . . . side by side . . . lined up in rows, and then the sorting begins. Everything has an order, your place in the box is preordained. Packaged and ready for life's experience . .. This was close to what I was looking for, but I still did not know my own thoughts. I then read "all lined up," the last poem: I like that arrangement before the first pouring of color. It doesn't matter, it will never be the same . . . Never arranged in quite the right order Some tips worn off The neighbors may have changed. We are all born in the same way, just as the crayons are born. When we come to St. Albert, we are wrapped alike. Our wrappings are our school uniforms. We are packaged in the St. Albert green and gold and are put in the box called St. Albert. Even though we all are wrapped alike here, we each become our own separate color. Each person's color is not the same as any other color in the St. Albert box. Each color shines through in the activities he or she is involved in. We also shine by relating with t e other colors in our box. Since this is the last act I am performing, I have seen this "True Colors" yearbook come together in fine fashion. have witnessed the many different colors in our box excel, and sometimes fail, in academics and activities. So here they are. Some colors are smudged, some are worn, some are used, some are just perfect, some are bright and some just tend to hide in the background. Enjoy looking at the 1997 /98 year of the colors in the box we like to call St. Albert.

From Poppies lunchboxes to mid-terms and that scary first day of driving, the jour- .ney to graduation has been an exciting one for the class of 1998. There have been notable firsts, high academic achievements, and phenomenal athletic records credited to the class of 1998. And as each individual continues their journey through life, may they always have someone whose path they can follow, someone who admires their path enough to follow them, and most importantly, someone to walk the path alongside them. ~ ~~--- ----~--~-~ --~- ~ Watertight "Direct Hit" Rob Turner takes aim on a helpless victim and fires.

(Photo by Ryan Milner) Football The 1998 season started one week after the 1997 season ended, and it all started in the weightroom. In 1997, although we made it to the playoffs, we lost to Missouri Vall ey for the second time that year and we knew the reason why. We just weren' t strong enough. All of the players who didn ' t play a winter sport were put on a weight program by Coach Culj at, and that program made all the difference in 1998. We not onl y had an undeafeated season, but we also beat Missouri Valley twice and made it to the state quarterfinals. Thanks to the hard work that the offensive linemen put into the we ightroom, and Blanchard Johnson's own determinati on, we set two school records. Johnson rushed for 1,936 yards to put him in front of Vince Leber. Also, as a team, we averaged over 300 yards rushing per game, to put us No. I all time.

(Photo by Tony Gusman) Boys Basketball The basketball season was looking very promising with many returning letterwinners from the previous year's substate fina list. The season was fu ll of ups and downs with the low point being a loss to city rival Lewis central and former coach Dick Wettengel. After getting down the style of play of new coach Shad Coppock, the Falcons coasted through the first two games of distrcts. Then came Maple Valley 80 in the district final. ft was the same team that defeated them in the 1998 substate final. Both teams returned key players, but this time the outcome was different. The Falcons advanced to their second strai ght subststate fin al with a60-51 victory. At substate, however, the Falcons lost to Audubon 67- 5 1. Another successful year for the Falcons, even though they came up one step short of their dream.

The new shoes, the hi gh ex pectations, the nerves, and dreading the dirty thirty ! There was no doubt that our dream of reach ing tate would come true. Unti l we played Audubon once aga in . Looking back on that game, I'm still upset. We played our hearts out, but it still wasn' t good enough. I remember looking at Kim Burns when there was a 84 minute left. Her face was sad and her eyes were teary, and I told her, " Kim, th is game isn' t over. We can still do this." It wasn' t until there was I 0 seconds le ft that I looked over at my mother with a worri ed face and reali zed that my goal and my dream were over. The toughest thi ng I had to reali ze is that I won ' t be back for next year. Thanks, guys, for the priceless memori es. r wi ll never fo rget you.

It was one that saw new guys turn out just because they li ked what the team was doing and wanted to be a part of it. A season that ended with a win ning record fo r the first ti me in a very, very long time. It was one that included the first conference championship in school history. More important than all of that, it was the season that Falcon wrestling regained its res pect. This was the season that teams stopped thin ki ng of our team as an easy win on the ir schedule. We came a long way this season, and we worked hard along the way. With the hard work ethi c our team possessed, we are assured more success in the years to come. I rea ll y ex pect that after this breakout year that our wrestling team will reall y spread its wings and soar.

It was really hard going from No. 1 in the state to not even being in the top 25. We lost a lot of talent in the six seni ors from last year, but we had a lot of people take a step up.

The expectations were so high, but we had lost seven seniors. Then even before our first game, several players were injured. Our first two wins were much less than impressive. Then our 9-2 loss to Duchesne turned my fear into reality. I didn ' t want to see my favori te sport turn into a season of losses. After another loss, I started wishjng fo r those seniors back. A couple of weeks later, we played Glenwood. A whole new team walked onto the fi eld that day. O ur domi nance continued to the LC game. That 4-0 victory ceased all my doubts. I couldn 't wait to play each game. More importantly, 1 coul dn ' t ask fo r any better teammates than the ones l had. Yeah, I know, we Jost seven seniors, and they REALLY missed out.

Of those 25, only three were seniors and two were juniors, which set the tempo for the season. To many spectators, the winless season was a disappointment; but to the players, it was something else. Since there was no pleasure of 100 winning, we made a great time of it. Sliding is an essential part of softba ll. Many girls on the team had a problem with this aspect of the game. So one day, Coach Kelly Duffeck brought a "Slip and Slide" to practi ce, and she reviewed the finer points of sliding. We got to spend a hot summer day learning how to slide in water.

For being don e too soon. - Neil Diamond, "Done Too Soon" An open Jetter to the 1999-2000 Journ alism 2 staff, If you are reading this lette r, it mea ns your fin a l project was successfull y compl e ted. The end result of your work, the 2000 yearbook , is in your hands. I hope you like it. And while I do care whether you Ii ke this book, rm sure you a l I heard at some point that I" vc never cared whether you liked me, as long as yo u respected me and learn ed from me. So this is probabl y as good a time as any to reflect back on just what yo u did learn during your time in Room I 02. You know what words bring an au tomatic detenti on. And what they rhyme with. And what words are worth a warning. And what word wi ll make a tabl e o f e ighth-graders chant. You know what you don' t need Lo have a good time. And what is a dead end . And what is better if you ... well, you remember. You know that wheat nuts aren' t nearl y as tasty as soy nuts. And where the flying monk ey came from. And that old job cycle posters make cool wa ll decorations (as long as you' re sure the adviser is clone using them). You know it's dangerous to ex pect the entire student body to spontaneously bring in photos from their childhood regardless of your vision fo r a page. And dan gerou s Lo ass ume that a ll because most o f the items on your deadline heet are clue at the end of the cyc le, yo u' ll be abl e to do them a ll in the last few days. And dangerous to assume advertisers will be wa iting by the phone for whenever you ca ll. And dange rous to ram your whee lchair into the table with the computers on it. You know it's difficult to make a Tuesday deadline for hav ing negatives available when you don ' t take the pi cture until Wednesday. And difficult fo r exc hange papers to get mail ed while they ' re sitting unstamped in your mailbox. And very diffi cult Lo avo id those deadline X 's if you miss class too oft en. You know what it's like to leave the room al I: 15 on a weekday morning. Or I :09 on a weekend morning. Or to wait in the parking lot fo r a ride to Topeka at 5 a.m. Or to enter the room at 8: I I a. m., pre fe rabl y with a pass. You know that the equipment provi ded to the journ a lism de partment is meant to make the process easier, even if the No. 1 computer spent ha lf the year with its tower cover off awa iting a variety of parts. Or if the No. 2 compu ter seemed to sense when newspaper deadlin e was approachin g, picking only those times to completely wipe out front pages. Or if the No. 3 computer lost its sc roll bar in September. Or if the No. 4 computer worked perfectl y well , except fo r th e dark scree n th at made it impossibl e to see just how well it was working. And what piece of equipment in the darkroom caused a ll those magenta splotches, anyway'I Would some night- vision goggles have prevented the problem? You know th at midday is the best Lime to drop off fi lm. Or pi ck up film. Or se ll ads. Or, for th at mailer, sell adds. Boy! You know whi ch step in the photo process enab les you to find the pictures you need for a page. Except when the pictures don' t get fi led in the ri ght place . Or sometimes even when they do. You know how to find sporting events, birthdays and orthodontist appo intments on the ca lendar. And how to find passes in the desk drawer when your wo rk has ca used you to be late fo r your next cl ass. Or to somehow miss it complete ly. You know whose backroom is good for snacks. And naps. And haircuts. But not for recordin g pretend radio shows. You know that yo u are j udged by the people you hang around with . Wait, don ' t hit me. You know that everyone should be judged on their own merits. You know you can rest when you' re dead. And you know what it takes to put asi de whatever differe nces and probl ems you may have so that, when it matters, you made sure each ed ition of the newspaper and each part of the yearbook was somethin g the who le staff co uld be proud o f. Oh, one last thing. That whole " I don ' t care if you li ke me" line I kept te lling you? ... You know I was lying. - Larsen The good news is I'm better for the time we spent together, The bad news is ... you ' re gone. - Diamond Rio, "You're Gone" Blanchard, Nicholas 8, 11, 74 Bouska, Andrew 8, 11 Boyer, Mandie 8, 1 O, 11, 63, 82, 98 Branigan, Emily 8, 71, 109, H3 Brummer, Zach 8, 62, 74 Burkey, Allie 8, 82 Caniglia, Mary Kay 8, 11, 63, 71, 72, 82, 88 Connolly, Andrea 8, 46, 66, 71, 88 Cool, John 8, 11, 42, 62, 70 Cooper, Nick 8, 62 Danzer, Joe 8, 48 Danzer, Timothy 8, 48, 50 Eckley, Stephani 8, 11, 55, 93, 97 Epperson, Michelle 8, 40, 82 Fink, Keith 8, 40 Fischer, Nathan 8, 9, 62, 80 Flom, Matt 9, 84 Friedrichsen, Julianne 8, 9, 63, 71,82,97, 106, 113 Fritzsche, Rob 9, 51 Frueh, Jessie 9, 66 ,71, 82, 86 Gorman, Kathleen 9, 66, 71, 82 Gradoville, Zac 9, 62, 70, 84, 113 Graham, Monika 9, 55, 97 Harper, Sara 9 Freshmen Heithoff, Nathan 9, 62, 70 Higginbotham, Nate 9, 62, 84 Hitchcock, Heather 9 Hoffmann, Jackie 9, 42, 71, 82 Hotz, Brooke 9, 23, 55, 108 Hurley, Jess 9, 11, 63, 71, 72, 86, 113 Jackson, Jenny 9, 55, 88, 97 Jares, Katie 9, 11, 71, 72, 93 Jensen, Lyndsi9 Jensen, Michael 9, 62 Johnson, Eve 9, 11, 40, 63, 64, 71 , 72,82,97, 106, 113 Kidder, Stephanie 9 Knedler, Jonathan 9, 66, 76, 80 Kruse, Jeremy 9, 11 McKenzie, Amy 9, 55, 76, 93, 97,99, 113 McNeal, Erin 9, 11, 63, 71, 112 Meidlinger, Julie 9, 10, 45, 46, 64, 71,82,88,99 Mescher, Jake 1 O, 62, 70, 84 O'Connor, Matt 9, 10, 40, 42, 62, 68, 69, 80, 81, 109 O'Toole, Tristan 10, 11, 74, 84 Palmer, Christopher 10, 70, 80 Petersen, April 10, 66, 82, 88, 106, 108, 113 Pogemiller, Kristi 10, 109 Freshmen Mary Kay Caniglia, Amy McKenzie, Jessie Frueh, Jackie Hoffmann . and Jenny Jackson gather around the lunch table on Pajama Day.

Every other group in our class knew what their theme was going to be. "Don't worry," they told us. "You will have a lightbulb moment. A moment where it just hits you and every- ._ .. thing from there will fall into place." The next day it happened. Uniform Chaos ... It hit us suddenly and seemed to make sense. Or at least we made it make sense. Uniform Chaos. It works on so many levels. Obviously, we wear uniforms to school every day, and having more than 200 teen-agers in a high school makes for chaos of its own. But we wear other uniforms every day. We Right: Junior Teresa Coughlin controls the ball during a soccer game against Lewis Central. (photo by Lindsay Banks) Left: Senior Ryan Murphy exemp lifies Uniform Chaos on a warm sprin g day. (photo by Cody San derson) wear the obvious sports uniforms or work uniforms, and the not-so-obvious uniform of our everyday clothes. And with every uniform we wear, we add to the chaos of life. Every additional sports team, job or activity creates more chaos. Hopefully, you will see many examples of uniform chaos throughout the book, both blatant and hidden .

Year after year people pick their favorite outfit, get up early to do their hair, put on makeup and look their best. All for the sake of school pictures, and so they should. School mugshots are a record. A record for each individual of their growth and fashion hits and misses. A permanent record for years to come. We all know how high school pictures inevitably haunt those who go on to become famous. From VH 1 to ABC, every station can find any picture of you, and high school pictures seem to be a favorite. Usually the pictures are not forgiving. Someday you will pull out your old high school yearbook, blow the dust off the cover and show your children. Everyone knows w hat that is like; your parents have probably pulled out their yearbook, showed you their friends, high school sweethearts and favorite teachers. You probably laughed at the hairstyles and clothing, and especially your parents. just remem ber that at some point the tables will turn, and it will be your children laughing at y ou.

Ms. Deb McGuire has been a really great teacher because she creates an environment that really brings out everyone's creative side. Art classes have been fantastic because I have been able to develop my own artistic style. Also I am able to work at my own pace. McGuire helps quite a bit, but the real results I have are just from me and it is my own expression. I might not be going to a college for art. However, I feel that my experience in art class has helped me to prepare for an education in different fields by helping me to find myself. -Rebecca Fennell A,,;t, • Academics and Organizations 29 sophomore Jeremy Kruse cooks during a Spanish Food Day.

Our senior Spanish dass, once so large that it had to be divided into two periods, has dwindled down to 15 highly devoted students. The things that any Spanish student will remember are all of the crazy antics ofour dass: our freezing trip to Kansas City, lively Spanish games like Dibujonarioand Loteria, sacred prayers, and songs like La Bamba and A-ruu-ruu.

Beginning this year's run at a state title was the volleyball team. Winning match after match until the substate match. The football team was a dominant force in Class 1 A. The undefeated team led us to the UNI-Dome before losing the semifinal game. Both the girls and boys cross country teams won their district meets and qualified for state. The dance team dazzled us every halftime with new and exciting routines. They received two first-place trophies and one second-place award at the state competition. The girls and boys basketball teams advanced to their regional final and sub-state games, nearly missing chances to play at Veterans Auditorium . Wrestler Thomas Sweeney advanced to the state tournament and placed fourth. Both track teams sent multiple students to compete at the state competition, where the girls team tied for eighth place. The boys soccer team went as far as the sub-state semifinal. A busy year of sports, and a year of success. The trophies and medals are tangible memories, but nothing can replace the bonds made as teammates. 5~ '{)~ 0 Sports 45 A Varsity Football FkNSt,M junior Jason Endelicato runs in for a touchdown during the Sloan Westwood game, led by senior Pat Hoffmann.

What is it about these two words that when said to high school students either inflicts fear or excites? Could it be the lifechanging decisions that have to be made, all the applications to be filled out, or the knowledge that this is your last year to hang out with your friends before you scatter? Everyone has different expectations for their senior year, and they try to make the best of it in their own way. The every-day chaos of getting to school before that unforgiving 8: 10 bell .making up all your missed P.E. 's, trying to keep that ever elusive 4.0, writing your enormous term paper and actually making a deadline here or there. At the same time the feeling of uniformity permeates. The familiarity of the 200 wing, knowing all the rules, and breaking some of them just the same, memorizing your last locker combination, getting dismissed class by class and knowing that you w ill be first to leave the gym, because you are a senior. We leave St. Albert and head off in our different directions to pursue our dreams. We leave as the Class of 2001. At graduation we unify as a whole class to bid farewell to St. Albert one last time. We are unique in that we will be the only Class of 200 I to pass through St. Albert, and w e have left our footprints here fo rever. 5~[)~ • Seniors 113 Jl;;i •• 116Sen iors • 5~/),HUNJ~ 5~/l.H~ •Seniors 117 • ~ 120 Seniors • 5~/l. f#-.C~ S~H~M.4 •Seniors 121 1992 COUNCIL BLUFFS SOCCER 124Seniors • S~/l.H'-~ 5~/I.

Since most of that time has been in the summer, chances are you arc not in prime test-taking form. Despite tha , here's one more final exam. (In a way, maybe this evens things out. I heard a rumor that the first-semester and second-semester finals for this course weren ' t that tough.) Part I. Pictured People. The answer to each of the following questions is one of the people pictured somewhere on this page. I. She baked cooki es for various sports teams throughout the year, but she was Jes than amused when the mini chocolate chip cookies she left in the backroom disappeared. 2. She posted her own countdown to getting her braces off on the chalkboard, then compl ained months later when her non-journalism twin sister did the same thing. 3. She was shocked to discover in the Tri-Center paper that someone had graduated midterm. 4. The first complete sentence she ever heard from the adviser: "You pl ayed in the jamboree at TJ last night. " 5. She was the only athl ete to sign a coll ege letter of intent at a ceremony in the auditorium without having a pi cture of the signing appear in the Accipiter. 6. He took onl y out-of-focus pictures of the person in Question 5 while she was signing her letter. 7. She knew BBMak personally but couldn ' t prevent them from appearing in the promotional video fo r magazine sales. 8. She drove all the way to Bedford (miraculously not fa lling asleep at the wheel this time) to take basketball pic tures only to find out there was no film in the camera. 9. His on-again, off- again girlfriend sat in on the c lass during Lewis Centra l's second trimester as she pondered whe the r to become a journa lism teacher. I 0. The apartment complex she planned to li ve in during college ac tua lly had been the temporary home of such stars as Sarah Michelle Ge llar and B Real. I I. She served as interim yearbook editor while the two ac tual editors were he lpi ng the poor on a Third World island. 12. She bore no resembl ance to Ann Canigli a, so why would anyone get them mi xed up? 13 . She had to build the opinion page by herself for two issues aft er the departure of her co-editor. 14 . She waged a brief chalkboard war of words with a member of the Journalism I c lass. 15 . He made an unprecedented number of visits to his eye doctor in Iowa City. 16. She chose to attend the Uni versity of Nebraska, whi ch was a good thing because it may have been the only college that rece ived her correct transcript. Part II. Not Pictured People. The answer to each of the following questions is a person involved with .Journalism 2 who is not pictured on this page. (Don't worry, Cassy. You weren 't supposed to provide photos.) I. She built the Mr. SA photo essay by herself when the page's co-ed itor was absent, fin all y making up for the fac t she had forced Sarah Re inhardt to redo the 2000 yearbook girls track spread alone by be ing gone herself a yea r earli e r. 2. She bore no resembl ance to Ke lly Sabatka, so why woul d anyone ge t them mi xed up? 3. Although it is rumored he ye lled "Defense" in other parts of the school, he never ra ised his voice in Room I 02. 4. He sold the first double-page yearbook ad in recent memory, then in fo rmed the adviser ri ght before deadline that the photo for the ad had to be returned to Jim Pl amondon immed iately. 5. He was right. The song does have the lyri cs "867-5309." 6. He pl ayed a mean guitar at Mr. SA, but he had to wait until Prom to receive a crown. 7. When he fin ally arri ved for c lass each day (OK, it's a long drive from Glenwood), he was the best in the make-thewate r-bottl e-bou nce-i n-the-bac k-room game. 8. He was so attached to the prev ious year's Journa lism 2 c lass that he didn ' t do an adequate job connecting with the 2000-01 group. If he' d had the sense to, he might have found out it was a pretty spec ial bunch that combined to produce what he considers the best newspaper and yearbook in school history. (A nd, yes, he knows he called the previous year's publications the best, too. But what's he supposed to say when they get even better?) OK. Tha t's the test. If you want to know your score, you 'll have to drop by Room 102 for a visit. Chances are I wouldn ' t mind seeing you again by now. And for those of you complaining that this test was too hard, here's a hint. The answer to Part II, No. 8 is: - Mr. Larsen ... - 1 If not for our first hello, we'd never have to say goodbye. - "Hard Luck Woman," KISS I .

(submitted photo) Uniform Chaos As the year is wrapping up, so is the yearbook. J:,.s we sit here on Memorial Day, the last possible time to finish the numerous remaining pages, we realize how this theme has traveled with us through the year. We see the uniform chaos in the senior boys wearing the girls uniform skirts one day, the players on any of our sports teams running around hectically yet succeeding in their goals. We hope you could catch on to the little ways we tried to carry out the theme. The theme can be seen in the headlines, the text on each page, and the design of the pages. Uniform chaos was a daily part of our lives while working on this y earbook. There was always something happening that made things a little more difficult. W e didn't Juniors Erin Belt, Liz Regan and Angela Roux point to the ~attire they got on the way home from a basketball game.

A yearbook is a collection. A collaboration of words and pictures in an attempt to recapture moments. A space in time when five-minute passing periods meant freedom, when teachers sometimes seemed evil, and lunch was 25 minutes of paradise. is yearbook is a collection, meant to remind you of those times. Times of Being Together. Together we develop our individual minds. We take with us tiny bits and pieces of knowledge, but more than that we take bits and pieces of each other. Our mental development is contingent upon our experiences with each other. Together we condition our bodies until the simple, involuntary act of breathi ng is difficult. We spend hours drenched in sweat perfecting the necessary skills needed to succeed. We experience triumphant victory along with humbling defeat. Together we follow our teams. We stand behind them filled with spirit in Superfa n gear. We set up and participate in Masses, give blood, organize fund-raisers and fast for a day. We spend all day together at school onl y to pend the rest of the night together, at practice, a game, on the phone, or just veggi ng out at each other's houses. The size of our school leaves nothing in the dark. We know more about each other than many of us wou ld like. We remember such genera l aspects of peopl e as names and hair colors. Even stranger we take with us spec ifi cs like a person s fav orite gum or the ir a ll ergy to peanuts. Together we are one. Mind Body and Spirit we are St. Albert. A being is composed of essentia lly a mind, a body and a spirit. Togethe r we are the being o f St. Albe rt. Indi viduals don't make teams, crowds or classes.

At the beginning of the year we all have nice clean lockers, the new notebooks, pens and pencils, those perfect folders, and maybe a great new bookbag. By the time summer comes around we have turned the lockers into trash cans, notebooks have no paper left, where did the pens and pencils go, had to tape those perfect folders, and the bookbag definitely needs a washing. School is the place where students come together and learn to be friends and classmates. :res_hman Shane Bendgen sits m history class . He listens intently to Mr. Hank Easterling.

One student may ask the dumbest que tion, but it helps you to understand the as ignment so much more. During study hall before a te t someone may help you to learn everything you need to know to pull it off. There are always those clas es you love, you hate, and you have to take. Although tudcnts may put off during their homework or not listen to their teachers omehow we will look back and rea li ze that the teachers we have grown to love have expanded our minds in ways we never dreamed possible.

However, students are employed throughout the community. From grocery stores and retail to helping the elderly and lifeguarding, many students work to pay for movies, dinner, gas, shopping and numerous other expenses. Working a part-time job in high school also gives you the opportunity to find out what type of career you may desire to go into after graduation.

Athletics may get the publicity, but academics are what school is supposed to be all about. Students are offered many different kinds of classes to showcase their abilities in certain academic fields. Some students excel in math while .others may do well in something like art. Whatever a student is into, it is offered as an academic program. Academics are the glue that holds a school together. Without them there wou ldn ' t be sports or other activities such as band for students to participate in. As much as students ignore or try to push aside academics, they are our first priority. The school exists to help us learn.

Teachers work hard to prepare students for higher learning. The school offers college-credit classes like trigonometry, calculus, English composition and advanced chemistry in an attempt to help students get a jump start. Students spend time on standardized tests such as the ACT and SAT. They do what they can to be eligible for the best of scholarships. High school is in many ways a steppingstone to college.

Sometimes, it's something we do to show our own personality: dyeing or cutting hair, wearing hats and makeup, for a few students getting tattoos or piercings. Other times, it's to correct a problem: contacts or glasses to improve vision, braces to straighten teeth. Even though we go to a school where we all dress the same, no two people are alike. Everybody is different in his or her own little ways, and body modifications are just one way to show that.

They could not get the bats going but by midseason, it was a differe nt story.

(pho to by Th eresa Farrag e) 20 wins. Senior Matt Appl egate led the team in batting with a powerful .42 1 average. A bump in the road came during the season with a 15-1 loss to Thomas Je fferson. The Fa lcons combined skill and confidence to overcome that bump and put together a winning streak. After a streak of success the Fa lcons suffered a dissappoi nting loss in the first round of distri ct pl ay. The season came to a halt in Missouri Va lley aga inst LoganMagnoli a. Despite the fin a l outcome the season was very succesful.

A new coach, new wrestlers and a new way of doing things: Some might think that just surviving on a daily basis with each other would be a worthy feat. On a day-by-day basis things started to get sorted out, and people started to fit into the right spots. Ten wrestlers, two coaches and one manager stuck together and gutted out a season full of ups and downs.

The Falcons went out with a positive attitude and believing that Freshman Thomas Webering attempts to work aro und his wrestler for po ints.(ph o to by Liz Regan) they could compete with the bigger schools and do well. Even the first-year wrestlers tasted success, if not by winning the majority of their matches then by vast personal improvement. The Fa lcons competed at several large tournaments. At each one the Falcons were the smallest team there, and at every one they came close to beating the opponent. In duals, giving up the amount of points due to open weights was just too much to overcome. They didn't let that get them down. With constant teaching and encouragement from Coaches Jason Boatwright and Thomas Sweeney they all succeeded at different times and in different ways.

Bowling was just revived at St. Albert in 2000- 01 , making this the second year it was sanctioned as a statewide sport. The bowling team continued to improve, and more and more people showed up to compete on the team. There was a boys and a girls team, and they both had successful seasons competing mostly against bigger schools. Their home lanes were at Lightning Bowl. Mr. Ken Mehsling coached the bowlers.

We show support by transforming from everyday, cofrffn on hi gh school students into a loud, enthusiasti c group of kids decked out in our school colors from head to toe. Somehow we prove to other schools that although we may be sma ll in size, we are overwhelming in spirit. It is hard to describe the fee ling you get at reconciliation or during the celebrati on of Catholic Schools Week. It is during those times that the spirit of St. Albert swe lls within each student. We pride ourselves on beautiful Masses, new cheers, T-shirts made fo r ou r best friend on the basketball team, or screami ng so loud at a game that you lose your vo ice. And, of course, the obvious, such as Homecoming week and pep ra llies. The spirit of St. Albert fi lls each and eve ry person th roughout the school. A I though it may reach each student diffe rentl y, th rough a prayer service or a football game, the importance of spirit is undeni abl e. Someday, we wi ll look back at these days and rea li ze that although we may not remembe r every c lass or every game, the green and gold spirit that lies within us will never di e.

Detentions take place at 7: 15 a.m. in Mr Hank. Easterling's classroom. The pop machines are located in the cafeteria. The days of carrying a toilet seat as a pass are long gone with the introduction of uniform bathroom and hall passes. Administrators have come and gone; some changed positions. Who could forget the day of pink or lime time? Yup, demerit cards were added this year. Change has occurred, but students have become so accustomed to it that it's hard to recall what it was like before. Senior Tommy O'Connor checks out his new demerit card.

It' a time to be crazy, to have fun, show off, and to dominate in football! Since the Homecoming theme was Mardi Gras chaos was rampant in the halls. As trad ition dictates Tuesday, students showed up in pajamas and slippers taki ng the pajama day theme to heart. Wednesday the halls were till ed with polka dots, hairspray and lots of blue eyeshadow fo r eighti es day. Create yo ur own fas hi on day allowed students to express their own creativity and individuality. And fin ally spirit day, the day where every student and teacher alike were decked out in their own fa vorite Green and Gold, whether it be T-shirts, plaid pants or face pa int. We all had a way of expressing our school spirit. The differences in how we chose to do so is what made Homecoming 200 I the greatest ever. Many memori es were made this year, at the pep rall y, the Mass and the football game.

Other than coaches and players, many other people contribute to pep rallies. Notice the w@rd "pep" in pep rallies. It is the job of the dance team, cheerleaders and band to make each pep rally work. The point of these is to have fun, and we definitely do. Although we should thank these people who try and get the whole student body fired up during pep rallies, the crowd is just as important as they are.

It is one of the only days that the whole senior class gets together to remember what its members have shared over the past 13 years. It gives the whole class a chance let go of the past and look forward to the coming seni or year. It starts the year of change. The class gets to go to the Creighton Retreat Center, a new place where seniors get to see their cl assmates in new ways. Each senior left with a new look at the cl ass and how they should spend seni or year.

Walking into the gym many fe lt as though they were walking into a new world . A gra nd castle and soft tones set the mood fo r a perfect night. After the crowning of the king and queen everyone gathered on the dance fl oor and the night of fu n had truly begun. Free-spirited, everyone danced the night away. With the stroke of midnight came a change of attire, but the rags did not stop them from hav ing a good time. Everyone boarded the buses and, illuminating with glow sticks, were off to Skateland. Walking into Skateland they were met with a spread of food fi t fo r a king. With the earl y hours of the morning came fu n that will never be fo rgotten. Many activities were offered, includi ng laser tag, skating, dancing, karaoke and a demonstrati on provided by a hypnotist. As the night came to a close tired eyes began to overcome the exc itement.

Cheerleaders' work is obvious in some instances, while other times no one notices it. They are the driving force that keeps spirit up at school. The cheerleaders' season starts at the beginning of the summer. They spend three months teaching and learning new cheers. Everyone tries to contribute ideas that will make a good squad and plenty of cheers with school spirit. They spend their study halls making and hanging locker signs. They go to each and every game to help cheer for the athletes and get the crowd fired up. Cheerleading is about dedication . Each cheerleader must find time between 6 a.m. practices and games, sometimes every night of the week, to do their homework and everything else involved in a teen-ager's life. It may be tiring, but it's fully rewarding. Cheerleaders help make this school part of what it is and what it will always be.

The dance team started practice in early June so that they could get ready for dance camp at Iowa State in July. On July 23 they headed off to camp and would prove to be very successful. The awards they took home were The Spirit Pom, Superior Showmanship, Home Routine Award, NDA National Bid and also the NDA Spirit Award. While at camp five people were nominated fo r AllAmerican Honors: seniors Megan Kennebeck, Teri Lee Mescher and Tara Reilly, and sophomores Amanda Seitz and Katie Fischer. Fischer was chosen fo r All-American. The dance team then got ready for their two main competitions: Ralston and State. They received third at Ralston. State proved to be even more successful. They were awarded first places in their jazz and pom, and third pl ace in their hoopla routine. Like their motto said, "Work hard and good things will happen."

What you're probably thinking are the uniforms or the demerit cards. It is often overlooked that the opportunity to practice our faith is always there. Students are able to express their faith in several different ways. One of these ways would be through Campus Ministry. Campus Ministry is a chance students to get involved in the Masses and also to serve others through various projects. These include projects such as the Special Olympics and Welcome to My World, both new to the program. Many people say that they enjoy Campus Ministry and being able to serve others. It is a chance for everyone to get involved in something positive. No matter who you are you can find your niche in Campus Ministry. There is a place for everyone with any kind of talent.

Retreats allow each grade to get away from the busy schedules at school and have a great time together. For freshmen , sophomores and juniors, Hitchcock Nature Center has been the location for years where students can grow together in faith and friendships. The surroundings set the perfect mood for growing together in prayer. The retreats are usually filled with relationship-building games and group discussions and, of course, the food. Each grade gets to experience nature and fonn new bonds with old friends. Retreats give the chance to look forward as well as to enjoy the memories of the past. Quiet meditations and group affirmations wrap up the retreats, giving everyone the chance to qui et down and let their classmates know just how much their friendships mean. Retreats give everyone the opportunity to have fun together as a class. Principal Mrs. Jonna Andersen passes out candy to Brock Gentile after the sophomore retreat.

Once there, these students spent 10 days finding the true meaning of hope and experiencing it firsthand. The students spent lots of time painting at St. Jude Hospital. They also had patient interaction time in the hospital where they spent many hours reading stories, holding babies and just talking with patients. Every year Regan "sees amazing things happen in the hearts of the students." One of senior Ryan Fischer's favorite memories was "just sitting and talking with Pappy and Sherwin." Everyone seemed to enjoy Sherwin, a 19-year-old man with a brain tumor and only months to live. The World Mission Project is truly an example of a life lesson learned outside the classroom. None of these students could have been completely prepared for what they witnessed on St.. Lucia, but what it was is nothing short of a miracle.

It could be a spec ial person, a certain smell, a joke that came with tears, or the game won during the last crucial moment. Memories have as much diversity as the people who cherish them, but one thing is shared: a common experience. These experiences are gained through every aspect of high school: choir, athletics, Math Club, drama, classes, etc. Time is spent on these various activities; but more than that, time is spent together.

" -- "Angel," by Shaggy (Tara, I hope itdoesn'tstill bother you to hear him sing) An open letter to the 2001-02 J2 class (Make that classes, since you were spread out across the day so much the only time I remember seeing all 18 of you together was for the colophon picture), It is 12: 15 p.m. Wednesday, May 29. With the exception of the index, all remaining pages forthe 2002 yearbook have been checked and are ready to be mailed later today. Actually, with the exception of the index AND this ad. I had another version of the ad written, but it wasn' t very good. I realize quality level didn ' t always prevent some of you from turning in work when it was due, but I'm not getting a grade for this. If I was, the deadline portion would definitely bring the overall grade down. I probably should have stayed in the room and rewritten this last night, as soon as I was done making corrections on the 38 pages that are ready for mailing. But it was 7 o'clock, and I wanted to go watch the rest of the girls soccer game. Three of you were playing, you know. The one who got a demerit when she yelled "Cookout Lunch Day!" The one who told the rest of 0 I about the September 11 attack the morning it happened. And the one who had trouble spelling her Prom date's first name. It was the final regular-season home game of the year. Where did the school year go? Is it possible for a year that included so many intolerably long days to rush by so quickly? Things that happened during first quarter seem so long ago. And things that happened second quarter ... Umm, things that happened second quarter ... Funny, I'm having trouble remembering much of what went on at school during second quarter. Oh, yeah. Must be because I was hit by a truck (or something like that). I was aware of some things that went on while I was away. Like the newspaper editor who made sure every issue was published, working so hard she didn't have time to stop and wonder why some people started caring less about deadlines once I wasn't there to enforce them. Or the co-photo editor who balanced playing Dorothy with doing some of the J-1 teaching. Or the other co-photo editor and the photographer with an exclamation point at the end of her name who were instrumental in raising all that money for my family right before Christmas. Of course, there were also the ad salesmen who didn't know they were supposed to sell ads while I was away, but it's not necessa1y to bring up everything. All of you whom I've already mentioned are pictured somewhere on this page. In fact, the only ones missing are the two who had the class 08 (not to be confused with the ones who had it 0 l , 02, 04 or 07). You remember, the one who knew the best games sites on the Internet (before the memo about games, of course). And the one I made cry three times, which I hope is a record I never break. There are pictures of the two boys who made a habit of showing up late for 01. One had the excuse of driving all the way from Walnut. The other never made clear his excuse; he just brought a pass from his mother, the office secretary. And of the boy who got yelled at when his yearbook spread appeared to be written in an ancient Asian script. Oops, just a computer error that was fixable. And of the girl who had to redo her Homecoming spread three times when the computer kept destroying the file. And of the girl who filled in as newspaper editor when the regular one had surge1y. And of the Yankee fan who is smiling at my choice of song lyrics for this ad but who secretly wishes l had found a way to work in "Holler back, youngin' ." Years from now, long after Dear Abby has ach1ally turned I 00, when I take out this book or when I flip through the I 0 editions of the 2001-02 Accipiter (of course I saved them; didn't you?), I'll think about the 18 of you. About the times we spent together. About the extended time we were apart. And I'll regretsomeofwhathappened, or what didn't. But I'll also be proud of the way some of you stepped up when needed. And of the work you did in this room the past year. And I hope you are, too . -Mr. Larsen P.S. One nice thing about school years is they sometimes last long enough to provide closure. The day before my accident last October, I promised the dance team members in J2 I would lobby at the next faculty meeting to let them wear their team jackets in school on game clays. One of severa l interruptions to the writing of this ad was to attend a discipline committee meeting, where T lobbied hard for that for next year. And I think you might see the team in its jackets some clays. SoITy it was too late to benefit you during your sen ior year, but I thought you might like to know I didn ' t forget. :) Whoops, it's 5:40. I'd better get to Drugtown and mail this.

" (photo by Katie Fischer) By Rob Fritzsche Hello and welcome to the "Under Construction" yearbook. Why "Under Construction," you may ask Well, in many ways we are all "under construction" in a sen se. We go through changes that alter who we are and how we think about the world. We aren't the same people we wer e a s freshmen wh en we en ter senior year. We make mistakes and learn from them, constructing a b etter person. Our Lady Peace put it best in the song "In Repair" off its "Spiritual Machines" album: "I know that I'll be lost but we're always in repair." We are constantly tearing out bad habits and bad hairstyles from who we are because we are trying to make the best person that we can as a whole. Our school also happens to he u nder construction. The new media center was open ed up to the elementary students with proposed addition s to the high school wing. Yeah , many of us grip ed about it but everyone likes new things: n ew c la ssrooms, new books and new classes. Th ere is just s omething about seein g something for th first time; it just seems that you have found a n ew cool thing to do. New students are also interesti ng b ecause they bring new life to ou r halls, which are filled with people we have known since kind ergarten. It works th e s am for people. Maybe your little brother or sister finally grows out of that annoying habit of letting the dog ch ew on your clothes. Maybe your frien d finally got rid of the odd girlfriend or boyfriend you didn't have the heart to tell them wa s wrong for them . Change is a good thing. Sometimes we have b een allowed to get into little niches in life and we n eed a good sh ake-up. So what is it all a bout? I h ope you think that this is a clever little way to tie what goes on outside the school building wilh what goes on inside each of u s. Kind of nifty when you think abou t it.

The hard work it took to win the title didn't just start in 2003; it had been building since 2000 when Mr. Drew Kruzich became head track coach. Since then, the team has sent more runners to state each year. One person went in 2001; nine went in 2002. The team sent 10 in 2003 and wound up using 11 when, with the state title assured, senior alternate Jonathan Knedler took senior Matt O'Connor's spot in the 1,600-meter relay. The Falcons also set a record by winning four meets in a season, including their first district title. Senior Brian Respeliers said districts "came down Right: Senior Bria n Respelie rs gets his instructions before a r a ce .

The team ended up beating Treynor in that 1,600-meter relay, thus winning the district meet. Throughout the year, senior John Cool was ranked in the top of the state in the discus. He proved that ranking with his last throw at state: 153 feet, 6 inches, which nabbed him an individual state title. The Falcons also posted second-place finishes at state in the 1,600 medley and 3,200 relays. Junior Brock Gentile, a member of the medley relay team, summed up the year, saying, "All the hard work paid off in the end winning state. " Front row from left: Aaron Romano.

Just because they lacked in numbers didn't mean they didn't meet their goals on the track. At districts, the Saintes were rewarded with a firstplace finish.

Under the leadership, knowledge, and skills of the son-mother coaching duo of Coach Quinn Damgaard and Head Coach Phyllis Damgaard, the Saintes took little depth and experience to make a fun and exciting tennis season. Damgaard took over the h ead coaching job for Mr. Jason Boa twright. Damgaard also taught elementary P.E. classes. The Saintes returned only one senior to the t eam. Mary Kay Caniglia. According to Head Coach Damgaard, Caniglia offered invaluable experience, supreme effort and lead ership.

We can all play around, cheer and compete," said senior Elin Welch. The girls once again latched on with the AL swim team seeing as how there weren 't the numbers to make an entire team. Welch said she stayed in touch with her AL swim pals after the season on Wednesdays when everyone went to Panera for breakfast. A team ritual was singing the "Spectrum " song before every meet to loosen and pump the team u p. Cheers were a big aspect for the team, seeing how it was an individual sport, like the banana cheer.

The water guns were collected , colorful water balloons were filled to the rim, and extra buckets of muddy water were stored away for an extra weapon and element of surprise. The boys built a fort, hoping to protect themselves from the wrath of the girls. "We (the boys) had this muddy, most foul-smelling water ever, and I got Erin McNeal really good," said senior Brandon Swanson. The heavy, and apparently hurtful, water balloon s created welts on some unlucky students. Despite the swells and welts, the waterfight made for an excellen t end-of-the-year activity. Seniors Erin McNeal and Brandon Swanson battle it ou t in the senior waterfigh t. McNeal, already cove red in mud , got washed off with the help of the supersoaker.

" - "Survivor," Destiny's Child Forget "Survivor: Marquesas," "Survivor: Thailand," even "Survivor: The Amazon." If you are one of the 13 members of the Class of2003 pictured on this page, you have endured much more than bugs, fi lth and an occasional tribal council vote. And you endured it fo r two full school years, not just fo r a few weeks. The end result of "Survivor: Room 102" lies in your hands. Well , the yearbook from your second year in the program does anyway. I'm sure the 2002 book is stored safely away somewhere, along with every issue of the Acc ipiter. If you look through those publications at the bylines and photo credits, you might noti ce the names of some people you graduated with (and some people you would have graduated with if they'd stayed at St. Albert) who are not pictured on th is page. A whole lot of such names as a matter of fact, si nce when fall semester 2001 began, there were more juniors enrolled in Journalism 1 than at any other time in the five years I have taught here: a total of 29. Which means the Class of 2003 also set a record fo r most students leaving the program in my ti~ e here. Yet you endured. And in case you forgot, here are some things you survived: You survived the ad v ise r's new ha rd-line approach to disc ipline in the fi rst quarter of j unior year. You s urvived hav ing nb adviser at all that second quarter. You survived the ad vise r' s re turn seco nd semester, during which his mind was a lot of pl aces, occasionall y even on getting you caught up on what you needed to learn.

This school h a s had good times, ba d times and times we wish we could forget quickly. We h ave seen teams build up from rough collections of p eople to a functioning unit th at h a d a desire and sense of unity. Drama casts have gone from kids wi thout any idea wha t to do onstage to poised and calm actors who h ave put on good shows. We've seen classes go from 10 to 15 kids sitting in desks to learning and discussing students. Frien dships h ave been built b etween n ewcomers and the establis h ed students. Old friendships have changed, b een stren gthen ed further or tom down in favor of n ew ones. This is not the same St. Albert that started on the first day of school. Maybe your own ideas on life h ave b een under construction. What wa s cool last year m ay not b e cool now. The weird thing about the "Under Construction" idea is that the construction n ever really stops. Sure, we eventu ally move on to college and the job world , but we n ever truly stop changing int a n ew and dynamic p erson. Tha t sounds r eally scary, I know, bu t actu ally it is proba bly one of the coolest things about b eing people , the ability to change and grow. Some of you, su ch a s the seniors, are h eading out into the world soon er than others. Some of you ' are sticking around to continue making the person you are right here a t s chool. More people you've n ever met will come into your life and h elp with th making of the person you are con structing. Have fu n finding the person you were meant to b e.

You begin high school ever so slowly, as to not ruin or confuse that set of friends as everything else around you changes before your eyes! Then before you know it, your old friends moved on, and you suddenly have new friends, older friends! You never thought they would be your friends. Your world is changing and you can't stop all the twis in it! Before you know it your life is completely different and you're saying to yourself, "I never saw that coming!"

Boyfriends, however, were a little harder to come by so dressing like boys had to suffice. We girls went out, from getting the "cool" guy clothes to making our eyebrows bushy, to even smelling like a guy. The girls, or guys depend- ·ng how you look at it, proceeded to go to the mall, Taco Bell, the girls' basketball game, and to an unsuspecting friend's house. Many double takes were taken, and some desperate girls even checked us out! All in alJ, it was a very memorable Valentine's to say the least. \ works on his Accounting, on e of m any Bu siness classes offered. (photo by B eth looks over papers for Mrs. Nancy Schall es.

I decided to go with black pants, black sandals, and a white, pink and black striped strapless top. Quite cute, I thought. After I was finished getting ready, I met a group of people and my lovely date, Shawn Moran '(i)5, at Alex Sawatzke's '05 house. We all took pictures and went to Hooter's for dinner. I got chicken strips, yum yum. We told the waitresses that it was Alex's birthday as a joke. They made him wear a dress and hat, with a hot dog in his mouth, and we all sang "Happy Birthday" to him. After we finished eating, we got to the dance about 9:45, and it was party ~ime! I tJ1ought the DJ was really good and everyone looked like they were hmring a good time. The DJ played all the new and old songs we listen to. "YMCA" and "Cha Cha Slide" are always fun. Everyone there wanted to be thel'e and dance, which made it a lot more fun. After a lot of jumping, sliding, dancing and sweating (in Alex's case), the dance was over. We headed back to Alex's house to hang out. On the way home, my night went out with a big bang. I hit a deer! That wasn't fun, but everything before that was a great time, and I'm glad I went. -Ashley Petersen '05 the winter dance.

I learn my lines easily and can't wait for the practices. I guess I dido 't look Hispanic enough so they change my name to Kevin, which I prefer because when you say Rico you think of Suave and that horrible music starts to play. With all of the practice, we become better and better. The day of the performance I can hardly contain myself I'm so nervous. All of the "what ifs" are running through my head. Joe Reilly '04 teaches me some things I can do to calm my nerves. "Relax your shoulders, move your head around and stretch toward the sky ," Joe says. I must say it did work. I'm ready to go onstage. Right when I walk in, I'm fine. The nerves are gone and, sure enough, we all put on a wonderful performance. It pays off. We're on to state! - Jeremy Clouse '06 like to marry som eone you hate?

(photo by Sarah Hamling) senior mess dinner from Mr. Brian Osborne, president. Swa rtz retired after 28 years a t St. Albert. (photo by Jonathan Kramer) Never saw it comin'! The 2003-04 school year is winding down. It was a year of excellence a ll 'around, but a year of events that we n ever saw coming. The Falcons fell short in the championship game. The dance team upset rival Bishop Garrigan in win ning both pom and jazz. B.J. Olberding '04, the reigning 152 state champion, was beat out in the first roun d in the state tourney. The One-Act play made it to sta te but fell short of being invited to go to All-State again. The World Mission was contin ued by new Campus Minister Mrs. Donna Riedl an d took twi ce as many donations down to St. Lucia as ever before. The swing choir went to contest under the d irection of thirdyear tea cher Mr. Lee Spann and brought home a Division I rating. And what about th at annual senior waterfight? Oh yeah , it h asn't happened qu ite yet. Then graduation came. A day of mixed emotions. Graduation is a time to be happy, which l was, b ut it's sad seeing a chapter in our lives close. It's hard to b elieve that my St. Albert life is behind me. It's been my second home. It's a time to have fun and enjoy life before you have to adventure out in to the real world. It's the day after graduation. I'm sitting in the journal ism room. Sophomor es and juniors ar e busy cleaning up p ages. Hope everyone enjoys the book. It's different, but th a t's my class for you . To th e remainin g J-2 staff and J-1 staff, good luck next year. Have fun with Larsen, an d eat lots and lots of doughnut Larsen, don't lose your head an d you're the b est. To the underclassmen, have fun. Enjoy the next few years of high school. Do things you never would have before. Take the time to do your work beca use you'll regret it wh en you're trying to get into the college of your dream. To the u nderclassmen ,who I call friends, have fun in Fr. Phil Hobt's room, work th e nmvies to death, have fun settin g up for the dances, be on time for the blood drive, anxiously wait for Ms. Tarra Beyer's ch eesecake, h ave fun a t Prom, and listen to what Ms. Trudy Finnegan h as to say! But back to the class of 2004. We've been together for years. We've laughed, cried and had many teachers go bye-bye. We've been terrors and got a marble jar thrown at us. We had to write apology letters in third grade to Mrs. Damgaard. We went to Tish's and the park. We said goodbye to many friends throughout the years, but gained more than a handful, too. BUMS?!? Where's the bums? Movie nights in junior high or late nights walking in the Old Market with Eric Murphy '04 with a skirt on. The fun-filled time eating ice cream with Wally or drinking coffee at the various coffee shops we stopped at. Driving to Prom was always fun. We knew how to show up in style! Or .even the simple nights of watching the stars or playing games up at Old Kirn Field were always fun. Oh, and I can't forget Mrs. Caroline Swartz's unique, fun and sleepy Cale class. We have been looked down up on because we lie in between the Classes of 2003 and 2005. All in all, it has been a wonderful 14 years. It's now time to go our separate ways, which we never did think would actually happen, but now it has. Good luck to my fellow friends and classmates. It has been a wonderful ride. I love you!

A chronological yearbook. OK, I guess I'll write a chronological ad. I dido 't write down the dates as it was happening, so I'll just be kind of general. As I recall, what would become the J-2 seniors of the Class of 2004 got their start as the 2002-03 school year was beginning ... Adviser gets Journalism 1 class lists. Is dismayed to see only six juniors, four sophomores and one senior. Four juniors include Whatever happened to Steve and Melissa? Adviser discovers future yearbook editor and assistant had signed up for class, but it didn 't fit their schedules. Immediately creates two independent study sections of J-1. Recruiting at Stu Co sleepover and in Am Lit adds assortment of juniors, including 1 Final piece of puzzle falls into place when 13th junior who will actually complete two years in program asks adviser whether he can just write stories for newspaper and not take class. Adviser firmly says no, expects never to see student again. Student shows up in J-1 the next day. Junior year continues for Class of2004. Semester break sees major exodus of J-1 juniors. Goodbye, Jake, Dan, Paul, Katie L. Goodbye, Lexie. Welcome back, Lexie. At end of spring semester, goodbye again, Lexie. Summer. Norman. Weren't more people supposed to take baseball and softball pies? 2003-04 school year begins. Early outs for the heat mean lots of afternoon time to work on first issue of newspaper. That's good because plan to print extra-sized issues off-site means much earlier deadlines. Look of extra-sized issues not worth cost or change in deadlines. It's tabloid-style for newspaper rest of the year, starting with magazine-format Issue 2 that gets finished at I :50 a.m. the day of publication. Creighton Journalism day. Ess Ay Jay-Too T-shirts much classier than showing photo of adviser's head. Microwa,ve and fridge are joined by couch. Nice rewards for hard work or unfortunate distractions? Maybe both. Time to work on yearbook. Calendar format means extra problems, but photo placing software solution is just around the corner. Or not. First yearbook deadlines met without photo software. Solution never discussed again. More good newspapers, more intense yearbook deadlines. Adviser reminded of why he calls this his best J-2 staff ever. (No, Joe, he doesn't say that every year.) Valentine's Week all-nighter produces even bigger magazine-format newspaper and lots of tired staffers for Friday classes. Where have all the department heads gone? Oh, they 're in St. Lucia. School resumes after spring break (for some seniors, a day later than for others). Adviser grows less impressed with performance on remaining yearbook deadlines, promises he' ll go back to remembering the good times after he's done being mad. Seniors go away. Adviser done being mad. Proofs for final 92 pages of book due. Adviser sits at computer I une 11 finishing this ad. Realizes deadline prevents him from discussing what happens rest of summer, so decides to speculate. (Speculation is what follows.) People eventually start taking photos. Summer supplement is put together, though postseason succe of baseball and softball teams pushes back completion. (Hey, this is my speculation.) School resumes. Adviser misses Class of2004. A lot. Yearbooks arrive. Editor rushes back from college, yells at adviser for forgetting to build this ad sideways. Adviser says to editor: "Yeah, but you NEVER SAW IT CO MIN' !"

Whether it is an argument or an explanantion, people always say to listen to both sides. That is the same with this past school year. Whether in the classroom, on the playing field, or even out on the town, there are two sides to every story. Even each person has two different sides to their personality; to what makes them who they are. Especially the Class of 2005. More often than not, our class was seen as the "goody-goodies," the ones who will not get in trouble, and always do their work. Well, we are focused, but we also know how to have fun, in our Freedom time. 2A Op e ni ng Being focused is the first part of the story.

How we are involved, what we do, and why it affects us. We are focused in our classes using our Brains, we are focused on the field as Athletes, and we are focused in our organizations, Involvement. I cannot even count how many times I heard "please focus" in class, or "you're not focusing!" on the field. It is hard for anyone to focus on something they do not desire. Which is why this year came as a huge surprise. From the start, we were all focused. School was not as easy to focus on, but we managed. The success of the very well-focused football team led the school and city to its first-ever football state championship. The dance team has always been focused, but this year they reached a new height bringing home all three first-place trophies. Being focused means knowing what you want, and going for it. It means not being afraid to take new chances and daring to dream. Being focused means being who you are and loving every minute of it. This year was a year we saw how being focused could change the future and we were able to grab hold of that and take it for all it could be. So, to the teachers, faculty, students, graduates, mY fellow classmates, here's to the focus we pulled together, and to the future we are ma Cara Loveya, Cool ~ Yearbook Edito team's focus.

In Brit Lit I learned about alliterations, sonnets, read Shakespeare and other British authors, all the while enjoying Mrs. Idella Spann's quirky sense of humor. I was lucky and was able to learn from a great teacher in two classes, the other being Creative Writing. My favorite project was when we got to make our "mushy" valentine love poem. Who knew cliches could be so fun? Some people think that when you're a senior you should take easy classes, but I'm glad I didn't do that. If you don't want to learn anything, it is easy to achieve that, but you also don't experience anything, and that is a big part of being a senior. I learned many things, and really enjoyed my senior year.

In one respect, they're right, it IS just a high school newspaper. But in every other way, they're dead wr~ng. For me, working on the newspaper was an obvious choice. I want to be a journalist when I grow up. What better way to see what I was made of than to be a part of the journalism staff? I learned how to build and design pages. Catie (O'Malley) and I are the headline and caption queens. As assistant editor, I had to work on the paper late nights and long hours. One of the perks, though, was using my trademark blue pen to tear up the unsuspecting J-1 's rough drafts. Hey, I never said I was nice. I learned how to be a leader, how to handle a crisis, and how to be confident in my decisions. I will miss all of the people I got to work with, and I will especially miss journalism.

All of us were overwhelmed by the load of papers and numbers of trees that were cut down in order for all them to all be made. Later on, we were doing labs and senior Alan Wickersham spilled a chemical all over the lab table. Mr. Randy Schmitz had to actually put on his lab coat, gloves, and goggles to clean it up, because safety comes first. In order to clean up he had to cause a reaction by using baking soda to neutralize the area where Alan had spilled. After it was all cleaned up and Mr. Schmitz had put all his supplies away, Alan spilled again. This time cleaning it up was on his own with the technique he had learned by watching Mr. Schmitz.

But every year, there is one class I looked forward to taking again; it is art. This is one class that was filled with good times and laughter. A relaxing time where I could enjoy drawing, painting, and listenting to music with all the students who have taken the same stepping stones as I have to reach Art 4. These seniors have piled up a lot of great memories: Aaron Romano drawing Super Mario Bros. or some cartoon, Phil Koch always making Ms. Deb McGuire's day that much more of a task, Marty Burke sitting in the window drawing me a picture, Lindsay Schnitker always asking, "Bom, will you help me draw this?", Brandon Fischer and his obsession with tractors and cows, Emily Propst showing me up with her fun and creative ideas, Danielle Grudle alwaY5 striving for perfection, Danielle Pogge and her amazing paintings, Betsey Mooney's colorful creativity and of course, Ms. McGuire's care and guidance. These are just a few of the things I will never forget. Art is a time to really find true character in yourself and in others.

It should have been filled with joy, excitement, and easy classes, so what was I doing in Calculus? Sometimes, I still ask myself this question. As I took my seat in the Mr. Robinson Luke's frigid classroom, I froze not only from the cold seat, but also from the fear of the unknown. I mean, this was Calculus. Why did I put this class on my schedule? Did I have a death wish? I'll blame it on temporary insanity. However, my fears melted away when Mr. Luke enthusiasticly bounced into the room with a smile on his face. After the first week of Cale, it became my favorite class. Yeah, the work was hard and the concepts were confusing, but Mr. Luke made everything fun, and even better, not impassible. Mr. Luke taught me about limits, derivatives, and chain rule, but more impartantly, he taught me how to enioy mY5elf, even if I was in Calculus class. My best memory isn't learning a difficult math problem or even acing a test, but it was listening to Mr. Luke's stories and getting to know him and my classmates better. I learned about his van's sound system, Thanksgiving traditions, and first job experience. I was lucky to have Mr. Luke for Calculus because of his great teaching skills, but also because of his interesting personality. - senior Abby Jares Mr. Robinson Luke teaches derivatives to his Calculus students.

I have not only improved myself vocally, but I have also learned an important concept. I have learned how to be a part of a team. You might ask, "Why is choir a team?" The reason is because the people within it work together to achieve a goal. For example, I have learned that voices in a choir should blend together into one voice. This can only occur if everyone contributes and works together. If a person is removed, so is some of the sound. One person cannot make a choir; it takes many people to form a choir. Every person in choir has had a privilege to be a part of something great this year. We have all come together to form the best choir that I have been a part of thus far. We have improved in the past few years, and I am sure that we will continue to do so in the future. - junior Ross Caniglia ---------------------- ..... Senior Luke Shanno loves to toot his own horn.

I was blessed to have two classes with Mr. Easterling: World History and Economics. In World History, it was my first time in Mr. Easterling's class. Being a scared sophomore, I was still worried about my GPA. Therefore, I was highly attentive and did all my homework. By having World History for a full year, I learned how his classes worked and took my newly attained knowledge to Economics. In Econ, I secretly knew that Mr. Easterling wasn't as tough as he tried to make everyone think. He actually had a (gasp) kind side. I learned in Econ that you either understand it or you do not. Unfortunately for me, I did not understand it. However, Mr. Easterling was alwaY5 there to help me, which happened to be a lot. I was in there after school so much that it began to feel like my second home. However, I managed to survive both World History and Econ with a "B" average. Besides just learning about Rome and surpluses, there are things I will never forget about his class. I will never forget how he let Emily Propst hit him with a role of Scotch tape, or how he tried so hard not to smile and act tough, and of course, I will never forget all the valuable material we discussed in class. - senior Jessica Goeser By : Abby Jares Mr. Drew Kruzich helps freshman Carly Pfeffer by filling in the assignments she will miss.

(photo by Jen Anderson} RELIGION/ p • E • Religion is one of the required courses at school each semester, yet it is the subject that separates St. Albert from the public schools. The best part about religion, besides learning about God, is making group videos. I will always remember the Passion of Christ in New Testament and the historical videos in Church HistorY. Throughout high school it seems like religion teachers come and go more than any other subject. Still, Fr. Phil Hobt and Mr. Tom Heithoff have been teaching religion at St. Albert for as long as I can remember, and their classes are enjoyable year after year because of the variety of group work we do. Besides doing group videos, there is also group discussion, speeches, presentations, and posters. Now that my Catholic education is over, I will look back at what I have learned in religion at St. Albert. - senior Jonathan Kramer Junior Matt Herrington goes up and asks Mr. Michael Sullivan for help on a test in Prayer and Liturgy.

(photo by Steve Theu/en) In April 2003, when my wife and I were living in Melrose, Mass., iust outside Boston, she finished her dodorate in theology and accepted a tenure-track position at Creighton University. I accepted this development with bittersweet feelings, as I wanted her to be able to follow her dream, but I also wanted to stay at Austin Preparatol'Y School in Reading, Mass., where I had taught during our years in the Boston area and where I had tenure as a history teacher. We moved to Omaha in July 2003. The first year here I substituted at some schools in Omaha and looked for a high school teaching position. Since I am certified in history, I looked for a history slot. That did not open up for me. As the By: Steve Theulen next school year approached, I experienced a sort of "dark night of the soul," in which I felt old and unemployable. Then I saw an advertisement for a religion teacher at St. Albert Jr./Sr. High School in Council Bluffs. I received an invitation to interview, and a few days later Mrs. Andersen called to offer me theiob. I had never experted to move back to the Midwest. I had never experted to have such a hard time finding a teaching position. I had never experted to teach religion. I found through this experience that God speaks in enigmatic ways, but I feel His love for me in direding me to this wonderful place. Indeed, it is a school where the students are friendly and hilarious, where the teachers are welcoming and helpful, and where the administration is supportive of the contributions I can make to the school community. This was certainly God's will for me, and I thank Him for it. - Mr. Michael Sullivan Sullivan teaches eighth-grade religion.

As they acted and reacted, so did the rest of the school. These seniors were best known because they could get together and function as a group. The State Championship football was one example; World Mission was another. Nobody wanted to mess up, because no one wanted to miss a game. Most of my study halls started with large groups, but after the first day of hearing Mr. Vogel's "Guides to Happiness in the Cafeteria," as a group, a lot of them left and took real classes, except for a few stragglers. I also had some new duties this year, like the lunch money and expanded attendance duties. The seniors helped me by mainly making the study halls easy to control. These seniors were known for volunteering to wander the halls and visit people for verY strange reasons. I am only glad I had the opportunity to deny them so many of these visits. - Mr. Tim Vogel Senior Shawn Moran proudly receives his diploma at graduation.

Some, on the other hand, feel as though they contribute through their attendance record. Which works, for them. However, for the ones who see extracurriculars as a positive place to spend time, St. Albert has some of the finest. The NHS always grabs attention with the ceremony they put on to indud new members of service, charader, scholarship, and leadership. The Student Council is always throwing out new and fun ideas for our school. And as always campus/peer ministry does a wonderful job of making Mass an exciting place and happening event for the school. The different clubs and extras St. Albert has offer strong opportunities for students to focus on being involved in school and the future. - senior Cara Cool on Senior Jonathan Kramer escorts sophomore Katie Gilliand at the NHS induction.

This year, the Student Council accomplished a lot of things, from all of the dances to Homecomfog Week, Red Ribbon Week and Catholic Schools Week. We donated money for the new painting in the gym and the new atrium planter dirt for the biology department. We sold bracelets in honor of Alex Morrow to give to the Class of2013 Scholarship Fund. It was a fun filled year that I will never forget. I couldn 't have done it without the rest of the St11dent Body, Kristin, Steve, Bra11don and Gina . Everyone was dedicated to working hard, coming early for meetings, most of the time, even if it was just for the doughnuts. Ms. Mooney and Ms. Oatman took the reigns of the Student Cmmcil this year and helped us along, we couldn't have done it without them. Now, as I am writing this, the day after Mr. SA, I know that we pulled off another great even, even if things weren't looking so great. I also have come to realize that Mr. SA was that last event that the council was in charge of. Part of me is relieved that it is almost over, it has been a busy year, but the other part is saddened, because never again will this same group of leaders be gathered in one group to pull off another Mr. SA, or another Homecoming Pep Rally. Hopefully everyone enjoyed this year as much as I did, even though it was a lot of work. I can't begin to thank everyone enough for all their hard work and dedication. It was a great journey.

You also have to go out into our community and work and help others around, all while participating into extracurricular activities. This was all worth is to me.

Ever since I was younger, I have alwaY5 wanted to be in Campus/Peer Ministry. There is so much to be involved in. From setting up Masses, to reading morning prayer, to having the lunch with the kindergarten through third grade, ministry at school is appealing. It is a way for me to express my faith and a way to be involved in Mass at school. Going to St. Albert has given me that advantage.

This caused for a lot of new faces on the varsity field and a lot of changes. The season was full of ups and downs. Also a lot of freshmen (recently graduated eighth.graders at the time) had to step up and take key positions in the outfield and other spots. Throughout the season a lot of positions were switched and many starters were young. The Saintes inexperience and youth sometimes showed. The beginning of the season was very rocky, but everyone always tried their best. As the season went on the Saintes' hard work showed in a couple of close games to big schools like LC. Then in the first distrid game against Underwood the Saintes lost by only three and held Underwood to zero for most of the game. Underwood then went on to state. The Saintes worked hard this season. They played with heart and built up skills for next year.

The Falcons were expeding a close game with Underwood. The rivalry game quickly turned into a spanking with SA experiencing the new continuous clock rule. This was a change to the old 50 point rule. Each game other than the finale against Riverside had continuous clock at some point in the game. SA entered the playoffs as the No. 1 team in the state in the polls. The polls didn't lie. The first two games of the playoffs were walks in the park for the Falcons. SA shut out Akron Westfield 35-0, then went on to dominate Underwood 45-14. The Falcons advanced to the Dome for a second year in a row. At the Dome, SA faced a tough AWGSR team, but Brandon Fischer ran past them, running for over 300 yards and 5 TDs.

Both teams had great seasons and really improved throughout the season. Neither team had a losing record and look to set the foundation for the future of Falcon football. Freshman Steve Nielsen said, "The A.L. game was my favorite because it was raining and it was our first shutout as freshmen." "My favorite game was Blair because we were supposed to lose but we killed them by 20 points," said freshman Steve Jensen. With two succesful teams playing hard all season it's clear there won't be a letdown in effort from the championship varsity team. These two teams played a key role in pradice against the varsity who won the 1 A State Championship, and look to carry on the Falcon football tradition in the years to come.

(photo by Ashley Hutcheson) 0 ALL championship wall for the first time in school history. (photo by Ky/a Kenkel) The first quarter was a defensive struggle, with neither team able to put together a sustained drive. At the beginning of the second quarter, St. Albert appeared to be gaining momentum, but things went sour. A holding penalty negated a touchdown and a fumbled snap gave the ball right back to GladbrookReinbeck. The Falcons forced a punt and started moving forward once again. On third down at the 18-yard line, senior Justin Belt gave an amazing effort to dive and catch the pass from sophomore quarterback Nolan Batten. The initial signal from the side iudge was a touchdown, but the back iudge overruled and called it an incompletion. The Falcons settled for a field goal and took a 3-0 lead. The Rebels ran back the ensuing kickoff to midfield and kicked a field goal to tie it at halftime. The defensive struggle continued into the third quarter. After G-R picked off a Batten pass, they seemed poised to score. The defense held and forced a field goal attempt, but an offsides penalty gave the Rebels a first down. G-R took the ball inside the 1-yard line, but the Falcons defense stymied two plays up the middle, and took over on downs. After the teams traded possessions to start the fourth quarter, the Falcons finally got what they were looking for. A 33-yard option play to senior Brandon Fischer with just less than four minutes left gave the Falcons the lead for good, but not without a fight. Fischer finished with 178 yards and a 1A championship game record 33 carries. G-R took the ball down to the Falcons 8-yard line with a little under a minute to go. The Rebels ran to inside the 1-yard line, and overtime appeared imminent. The Falcons defense disagreed. The Rebels tried a quarterback sneak but were short. G-R tried to line up fast and catch SA off guard, but their plan backfired. Not all their men were set, and the penalty drove the Rebels back 5 yards. G-R threw an out pass, but senior cornerback Shane Bendgen tackled the receiver before the end zone and inbounds. The Rebels hurried to the line, but the seconds ticked off, and the title was won.

Thirty-one student athletes participated in bowling. Under a fourth-year veteran coach in Mr. Ken Mehsling, the Falcons and Saintes put together their most productive year to date. The JV girls won every duel that they bowled in, which was a great accomplishment considering this was the first year the girls were able to fill a JV roster. Mehsling is looking forward to next year already. He said, "The girls are looking forward to qualifying for state next season, and with the exception of one junior, all the Saintes are underclassmen." The varsity girls team was led by freshman Val LeMaster. The boys team recorded a three-win season, which tripled their count from the previous year. The Falcons also reached a major goal in qualifying for the state bowling tournament. The boys posted a second-place finish at the sub-state meet to punch their ticket to the state toumament. The Falcons made the most of their state tournament appearance by posting their highest total pinfall of the year. Their score led them to a 13th-place finish.

The Falcons ended the regular season with a 9-4 record. After losing two heartbreaking games to Elkhorn Mount Michael and Skutt at the beginning of the season, the Falcons bounced back by rattling off five straight wins. The Falcons then lost a hard· fought game against the Class 1-A No. 1-ranked Glenwood Rams. The Falcons then won four of their last five games to conclude the regular season. These wins consisted of victories over Sioux City East (5-0), ADM (1-0), Tri-Center (5-0), and crosstown rival Lewis Central (3-2). Before the Lewis Central game, the Falcons lost another hard-fought game to Thomas Jefferson at City Field. Regardless of this loss, the Falcons still ended up city champions. The Falcons had some highlight games from the 2005 season. These games included hanging tough with eventual state champion Elkhorn Mount Michael and also playing a good game against No. 2-ranked Skutt.

However, with a loss to Glenwood and a dramatic double-overtime shootout loss to city rival TJ, the first two games remain a mystery. Because of what happened next ... The Saintes started rolling as they won eight of their next nine games on their march to eventually being the No. 8-ranked team in Class 1 A. During that streak, the defense posted five shutouts. The offense was led by senior Laura Bomgaars with help from fellow senior Kristin McGlade and junior Gina Assmann. The midfield proved strong, including senior Abby Jares and newcomer sophomore Mollee Collins. On the other end of the field, junior Meghan Crowley started in the goal for her third consecutive year and was aided by senior sweeper Cara Cool and senior stopper Catie O'Malley. The girls always believed in themselves, and that is what led them to the games of their lives. In the first round of districts, the Saintes flew past Riverside 6-0. They then were to face longtime rivals Glenwood. In a hectic and crazy fight through overtime, Assmann finally punched the ball in for a 3-2 victory. Never making things easy on themselves, the girls had to go into a shootout after going scoreless through two overtimes against Waukee. Behind a stellar performance from keeper Crowley and scores from Bomgaars and Collins, the Saintes won the shootout 2-1. For only the second time in school history, the Saintes reached state. A first-round loss of 6-0 to Cedar Rapids Xavier was a sad way to end, but Muscatine was the final destination. Even though state came to an abrupt end, the season was one to make a mark.

The boys team will miss its key players next year, but the Falcons look as though they will still be good. The girls won't be losing seniors, so they will all have a good start for next year's season. The boys golf team consisted of seniors Shane Bendgen, Jonathan Kramer and Luke Shanno, junior John O'Malley, and sophomores Shawn Daley and Chris McKenzie. The boys golf team had a good roll winning meets. At the L.C. Invite the boYS got in the top 10, finishing with a seventh-place medal. The girls golf team had many new members, all being underclassmen. The team included juniors Kellie McGruder and Mackenzie Schnitker. The new members were sophomores Katie Gilliland and Heather Beaman, and freshman LeMaster. The girls struggled with the loss of 2004 graduate Katie McGruder, so they were off to a slow start at the beginning. Soon they started to get closer to a first-place finish. The girls were led by Kellie McGruder in the city meet. She got eighth place with a 108. The team placed fourth during the city meet, ending the tw~year winning streak.

Sophomore Michelle Farrage received first at No. 3 singles. Seniors Kama Bergeron and Hayley O'Hara finished second at No. 1, and Beckman and Farrage got first at No. 3 doubles. The team lost a few players throughout the season but still continued to improve and win meets. Their season started with a meet won against Thomas Jefferson. The season ended at regionals in Shenandoah where Farrage placed third. The tennis team had fun riding in Coach Phyllis Damgaard's van, on the court winning or losing, and had fun at pradice.

The seniors grew close and worked well together. (photo by Abby Jares) ---------------------· The dance team has built an especially Positive reputation. For the first time in school history, the team placed three firsts at the Iowa Dance/Drill Team Compeition in December: first in Class IV Pom, first in Class II Jan, and first in Class I Novelty. Although the team seemed to be together a talented group of dancers, this team's success came from hard work, time, and dedication. Starting from the beginning of the summer, the team pradiced five daY5 a week starting at 6:30 a.m. The dance team's season lasts from June to mid March, which makes a very busy schedule for the girls. Dedication is having to be mentally tough through the whole season and loving dance with Your whole heart. "Even though our team was bigger, younger, and less experienced, we unexpededly came home from state with a triple crown!" said junior Katelyn Crouch. Although the team believed in the quote, "Work hard and good things will happen," they also strove for one thing: perfedion. Coach Kathie Guinan was there to stress that pradice does not make perfed, however, perfed pradice does make perfed. Living by this statement made pradices a heck of a lot harder. Striving for perfection meant 16 girls dancing the ex.ad same way at the ex.ad same time. As well as being talented dancers, the dance team became a strong group of friends and a strong team. Focusing on team and not individual glory has augmented the team's success. Senior Kyla Kenkel (wolf), sophomore Mary Weidman, junior Rachael Showers, and senior Catie O'Malley perform "Wolf Mix."

The cheerleading squad also does the locker signs, the run-through signs for the football team, the pep rallies, and the valentines. "Valentine's Day was fun getting everything ready and handing them out to all of the high schoolers and little kids," said freshman Danielle Cain. The cheerleaders also had the opportunity to cheer on the state championship football team, which was a great experience for them, and they led the student body well at the UNI-Dome. Senior captain Danielle Pogge said, "The Dome was awesome becuase we won and it's so much fun cheering." The cheerleading squad has expanded for a couple of months the past few years with the addition of the Stunt Men. The Stunt Men helped the cheerleaders pull off challenging stunts at the pep rally. "Stunt Men was awesome," said Pogge. The cheerleaders do a lot to make the student body better and are always doing the jobs that people overlook. They help lead the pep rallies and keep the crowd pumped up. "Cheerleading's fun and everyone should do it, .. said Cain.

As you flip through this book you can see the many differences, and the contrast of sides. However, coming to the end of this side, it is more apparent what the focused drive this year has brought. Everything in life has opposites and similarities; just as each person. So what better way to make the book than to have two sides to our story? The Focus side played out to its name, as we pushed ourselves to the limits, and broke through those boundaries. The classroom always brings forth the striving for knowledge and the yearning to learn. Athletics are an activity where people want to focus; this year, we soared to many new heights. The championship in football was an extreme success for the guys who played and also for the community around it. Many students are always involved in the school system and put their time and effort into bettering the school and year. Now that we see how being focused can lead to successful times, we hope that this year was only the beginning of great things to come. To the underclassmen, live every second of high school to the fullest moment you have here. It should be an exciting time, thrilling time, moving time. Just do not let high school run your life. Make sure you live for you and strive for the goals you desire. To the teachers, thank you. We may not have always been listening in your class, but we learned so much from you. You set examples for us and have made high school, school. To the new seniors, whom we truly call friends: Good luck! Enjoy all of the few days you have left. You have made our experiences at school more crazy because of who you are. Be good, be crazy, be excited, come to school to spend what little time you have left with one another. And finally to our fellow graduates, the class of 2005 (the greatest group of people to graduate with), we just want to say this has been the ride of a lifetime. From the little days in elementary, to the pointless days where we left school like running out the doors, to the exciting days where 22 or so of us skipped, to the day of where all our focus paid off, graduation, we have been with each other. Some have come and gone but forever have changed our lives. We have shared with each other our thoughts, dreams, tears, fears, laughs, screams, and every other emotion. Now, as we go our separate ways, we hope this book will be with you for always, just as we hope all of our memories will be in your hearts always. We thank each of you individually for being the person you are, and the person you will become. You are all truly gifts to the world. Now go, smile always, laugh often, love greatly, and live big as an example for your peers beneath you. Hope you enjoyed it, • • • • • • Cara Cool and Kyla Kenkel • • : s· : • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • u c c E E D • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • 100A Oosing Yearbook Editors s K I L L Seniors Joey Knuth, Brandon Fischer, and Gable Andrews stretch before track practice.

If you have the good fortune to be a student at St. Albert Junior/Senior Catholic High School, that's one more year than it takes to complete seventh through 12th grade. If you are one of the people pictured on this page, even though you are now away (or across town) at college or out in the real world of work as you read this for the first time in the fa ll of 2005, seven years ago you had not spent so much as one day as a student on the campus at 400 Gleason. (For those of you with short memories, you were the last class to complete sixth grade at the old intermediate school on the west end of town. For those of you on this page who attended public school through sixth grade, yes, there used to be a St. Albert Intermediate School on the west end of town.) Anyway, if you are the person writing this letter, you did arrive at 400 Gleason in the fall of 1998. (Wow! Look at all the fo rmer Math Club members on this page doing the subtraction in their heads to confirm that that was seven years ago.) Which means you (me?) were already a wily veteran of the SA school system when the Class of 2005 arrived on campus all bright-eyed and eager to learn in the fa ll of 1999. And as a special t1·eat, the Class of 2005 were seventh-graders the only year 1 was assigned a seventh-grade study hall. As a result, one or two of you on this page are the only students lucky enough (?) to spend parts of fi ve of your six junior high and high school years in my classroom. By eighth grade, all of you got to spend one quarter taking Exploratory Newspaper in Room I 02. (Added bonus: That year, I started teaching eighth-grade study hall, so some of you were in the room twice a day.) And what a marve lous Exploratory year that was, as you continued to amaze me quarter after quarter with your ability, your creativity and your strong work ethic. Heck, you even invented Baloney. As I pondered your potenti al as eventual members of the high school journalism program, my heart soared. The future indeed looked bright. And t11 ere were so many of you in that eighth-grade class. How would the journalism program hold so much talent? Well, whether you were in Math Club or not, you probably can count to 14, t11e number of people pictured on this page. Eleven of the 14 are seniors who completed their second year of high school journalism in 2005 . The three others - Catie, Abby, Luke - are the first group to take Journalism 3 from me, meaning they spent three of their high school years in the program. (Coincidence that I asked the principal whether sophomores could start taking J-1 right before the Class of 2005 became sophomores? I think not.) So where's everyone else? Well, the mass exodus at the end of eighth grade to such exotic locales as Tri-Center, Duchesne and A.L. took away chunks of the talent. And some members of the Class of 2005 never quite found a way to fit the class into their schedules. Others showed up for J-1 but left after a semester or two, or even three. (Hi, Aubrey !) A special shout-out seems appropriate here for the two members of the Class of 2005 - Aaron R. and Beth - who did spend their entire sophomore and junior years in the program, and for the one member who fin ally took J-1 as a senior. (Jimmy, we could have put you to good use if you'd shown up a little sooner.) So in the end, the 14 seniors on this page (along with nine J-2 juniors) ran the show for the 10 issues of the 2004-05 Accipiter and for the two sides of this yearbook. The girl who took charge in Exploratory without an offici al leadership titl e now had one: newspaper editor. (Thanks for not moving to Texas.) The gi:I who sat way in the back corner of eighth-grade study hall , some days exulting about making dance team, other days moping about not making Student Council, now was editor of the yearbook. (Thanks for staying on top of the ball.) With plenty of help from the rest of the staff, including those boys who sang that indec ipherable song back in junior high, they managed not to fall. And I think that I will miss them.

Love, Mom, Dad, Josh, and Tyler Once you were a little girl all dressed in pink, Who used a chair to reach the sink. Then you grew up and pink was no more, Any other color is what you wore. Friends, movies, and clothes were cool, But how would you attord them, what about school? You got a job and made your own money. Your life was busy, plus now you had a honey. Schools, sports, and volunteering were in check It seems like now we were losing our Beck Pink is again cool and so is a certain boy. Looking ahead to the future brings you much joy. Sioux City you're bound to get a nursing degree, We bet you are thinking "I'm finally free!" When you finally leave, we'll probably be a wreck, but we want you to know, you'll always be our little "Beck"! We love you so much, Mom and Dad It seems like only yesterday We watched you leave for school For the very first time. Now it is twelve short years later And we're watching a young woman, Ready to challenge life for the first time . In a few short weeks You' U be going off to college And it will be another first time. Life is made up of many first times. The first time you ride a bike, The first time you fall in Jove, The first time you see your baby's face And the first time you realize your little girl has become a young woman Of whom you can be extremely proud. We love you and wish for you a life of many exciting first times. Seize them all and enjoy your future. Love, Mom, Dad, Alexis, and Abbey Congratulations! We are so very proud of you, now and always.

Every decision we've made, every word we have spoken, every action we have taken has contributed to our stories. Some are short and simple, others are a bit more lengthy and complex, but we all have our own story. No one else's life is the same as yours, or mine, or the person next to you. We are all different, and we all have different stories, but we were here together at St. Albert in 2006 to share our stories. This book was made to try and capture those stories which we have all created while at SA. Some of the stories created this year were unexpected and very climactic, others may not have seemed very exciting, but either way, they are all different than our stories from years past. They have proved to be a part of who we are and who we will become. Somewhere in this book is your story. Somewhere in here you can find who you were this Your year. This book is divided into four separate magazines. Maybe you can find your story in the St. Albert People magazine which includes your mug shot and bio. Maybe your story can be found in the pages of Falcons and Saintes Illustrated, where your story was lived out on the field or court. Your story could be found in School TIME, where you were involved in academics and clubs. Or, maybe your story wasn't always found in the halls of St. Albert. Maybe it was the things you did outside of this building that makes you who you are. In that case, your story is written and illustrated in the pages of SA Teen. Wherever your story may be, we hope that we have captured it here. Every magazine is filled with the stories that made the 2005-2006 school year everything it was. - Aileen Mooney Yearbook Editor The s tudent body g oes c ra zy with school spirit while che ering on the footbal l t e am at the dome .

( Photo by Meghan Crowley) Editor's Letter By Colleen McClellan This magazine is dedicated to following all the dramatic (in both senses) and all the wild and crazy things that happen at St. Albert High School. We try to document the "happening" dances as well as all the productions that the drama department puts on including the Fall Musical, Speech Contest, and Spring Play. In addition we provide the public (well, maybe just SA students) with their first glimpse of the "who's who" and what they've done that's newsworthy. First, the drama productions. In the fall, we were regaled with the musical stylings of "Bye Bye Birdie," which was a parody of when Elvis went into the army. The audience was thrown back into the era of big hair and poodle skirts during this production . Speech Contest participants got a thrill as nearly all of them went on to state competition, with the exception of TV Broadcasting in Large Group Speech. However, students were disappointed that none of the groups in either Large Group or Individual Speech were nominated to advance to All-State. By springtim e, our little hometown of Council Bluffs was wrapped up in a murky murder mystery called "On the Night of January Sixteenth" involving a billionaire, his secretary, and some other shady (as in murderers and gangsters) people. The play was the first to be directed by Mr. Doug Stuva, also known as the Brit Lit, English Comp and Creative Writing teacher, here at SA. Ahhh, the dances. Well, they were " interesting" to say the least. Homecoming was at the Primary Building, to which many students said, "Waz up wid dat?" There is no simple answer; the list of reasons goes on and on. The Christmas Dance was held after finals, which led to a severe dip in attendance, but wait, then there came the Spring Dance, which only a dozen or so students attended. So sad. So sad. Anyway, love 'em or hate 'em, the Stu Co will keep on holding 'em. And then there were the mugs (aka the pictures of every student and faculty member in the high school). And their bios, which was a new concept this year and probably the last because it turned into more of a warning for future generations than a good idea. However, we did document EVERYTHING people did in high school from the overachievers to the slackers, the athletes to the band geeks and everyone in-between.

Th e St. Albert High Schoo l homecoming. Why wasn't homecoming at the high school in the little gym? M s. Virgie Oa tm an, the studen t council sponsor, told us why. "The school had booked Oktoberfest and they needed the little gym too. We looked at St. Peter's and decided the layout was wrong. Queen of Apostle' s social hall had something else booked that weekend. So we went to the primary building and decided on that." The decorations were set up in a Las Vegas themed style. Oatm an loved th e decora ting process commenting on how it only took two hours to do. The back drop fo r the p ictures was th e famous Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign and the trusty swing choir boxes w ere given a new look as a pair of dice. There were also the usual lights, balloons, and stream ers. But th ere w ere a couple of new thin gs. Posters of slot m achines decorated th e walls and doors and an Elvis wedding chapel was set up in a corner. Th e decodone unti l 12:30." So the decorations were a quite a bit different from the years at the high school and people thought different things about them. Freshman Kelsey Anderson describes what she thought of her first ever homecoming. "It was al l right. I had to decorate for it and the decorations were pretty cheesy. I wish it had been at the high school." Sophomore Bryce Kinard also said homecoming was all right, "but they needed to play more dance music and less '80s rock. I stood in line for pictures for about an hour and came out to hear songs my parents listened to!" However, senior Lauren Wagoner disagrees with those w ho thought the dance was mediocre.

Spring Dance By Shannon Rubes 'Spring Fling' T here wasn't a Valentine's dance, but a Spring Flin g dance existed in its place. If yo u had gone, yo u would've walked through streamercovered doors before paying $5 for a night of fun. However, you would've noticed a smaller crowd there than at the Homecoming and the Winter dances There were mostly fres hmen an d a handfu l of sophomores at the dance. However, two seniors and about eight juniors were there also. Junior C.J. Gradoville said, " It was a great experience for the younger kids to display their dance moves w ithout having to feel selfconscious with juniors and seniors watching them." Sophomore Asia Grimm sa id she liked the picture background. "Sundee Pyles did it again, but she had a hot pink wall and then when we get the pictures back there will be tropical flowers around it as a border," said Grimm. Junior Erin McHale said that the reason she and junior Kylie Schnitker went was they had nothing to do. McHale said that they "came late and left early." McHale and Schnitker are proof that the "no jeans" rule wasn't actually enforced. "We both wore jeans, but they let us in because hardly anybody was even there," Schnitker said. Sophomore Carly Pfeffer had fun at the dance, saying, "The decorations were interesting and I really liked the flowers on the walls." Sophomore Tony Knotek said, "I went in looking for something but I never saw it. I was looking for more people, so I left." All in all the dance was not too shabby. As Schnitker said, "The you nger kids didn't dance, which kind of ruined it, but we made it fun for ourselves." Sophomores Melanne Hilderbrand, Jessica Campbell, and Amy Ryan smil e pretty.

Senior M ar k Fritzsc he, a participant, thou ght it was an improvement over las t year's. He was disappointed the group didn't do better at state, but felt that overall it was a good experience.

Decent Facilities; Great Teams by Alan Caniglia St. Albert High School has always been known for its great athletics, despite having 300 students and playing tough teams in every sport. One would think that a school that has such athletic excellence would have great facilities, but the Falcons and Saintes have learned to cope with the surroundings and make the best of them. Every St. Albert student that dreams of being a sports star starrs off by playing on our "state of the art" playground. You know, the one that includes parked cars and hardly any room to play. At least when my mom asks me where those dents in my car came from, I can always respond with "recess." But, on the other hand, our "playground" for the little ones is getting better, as it now has basketball hoops with wheels. I just hope they don't roll away. Does anyone remember the days when the softball fi eld was made of gravel? It was painful just watching the softball players slide. The girls would get these huge gashes on their legs as if they were sliding on cement. But look on the bright side, at least the field didn't get muddy! creative '€DGe hair salon NIKI ROBERTS Cosmotologist/Owner 110 West Broadway 323-6170 fJ"'"' "' io tnl S""'vice- will. a· 'ifJ<>1<1ru1at ::Oaw:J, www.echogroupinc.com Brent Ryba Sales 29 S. 3Sth St. Council Bluffs, IA 5 I 50 I Phone: 7 I 2-322-029 I Fax: 712-322-8726 Watts: 800-432-5800 Mobile: 402-660-8768 Home Phone: 712-325-6880 brent.rybaQtechogrouplnc.com However, the softba ll fi eld is improving. Although the building is still too close to the fe nce, the field has made some nice additions. The field has a new scoreboard and a renovated concession stand . Oh, and by the way, the girls have actual dirt to slide on now. With these new improvements, hopefully the girls w ill be able to have more success on the field. The baseba ll fi eld has always been o ne of St. Albert's best faci lities. And to make it better yet, there have been some recent upda tes to the fi eld . No mo re excuses can be made about losi ng the ball in the dark, as better lights have recently been install ed. The dugouts and press boxes are also being renovated. And after the field gets leveled in the future, a quality baseball program w ill be playing on one of the ni cest fi elds in the state. Speaking of baseball and softba ll, some of you might recall a certain rain delay that occurred this past spo rts season. The sad part about this delay is that it happened in the gym and not on the fi eld. Does anyone remember "Ra indro ps Falling on My Head" play ing during the se cond quarter of a JV BASKETBALL game? Also, as a first-hand witness, I assure you that this was n't the only time that our volleyball/basketball gym experi enced such leaks. I guess the 20 bucke ts hanging from the rafters also proves my point. Despite having to bring ponchos to the basketball and volleyball games, our Falcons and Saintes continue to be successful on the slippery hardwood . The Saintes have ma naged to frequently make state appearances in basketball and near-state appea rances in volleyball. The Falcons have managed to win two state championships, despite the gym 's problems. The foo tball/soccer field is mak ing im provements, probably for the first time since the school was bu ilt. The fi eld now is surrounded by gravel instead of dirt, which gives the ambulances breaks from having to save fans from second-hand smoke. The concession stands are also renovated. New bathrooms are also being built. Despite all of the fi eld problems, the foo tball team continues to make its yearly trip to the state playoffs and the soccer teams continue to have very good seasons. No t too long ago, the Falcons managed to win the state championship in track. The Saintes also continue to have traditionally strong teams in track every year. Not many schools would probably fi gure tha t such a good track program doesn't even have a track. Having no trac k also means having no home meets, w hich means minimal support. It is truly amazing how our teams are able to compete at such high levels by practicing on pavement, gravel, and dirt. Our tennis courts aren't in the best shape either. Oh, I mean, w hat tennis courts? The girls continue to play tennis at any court they can get, w hich is most often at Roberts Park. It's tough for the Saintes to have competitive teams each yea r because support is especially hard to come by w hen every match is on the road. As for the w restling room, it's not the most spacio us. Additions could definitely be made to make the room bigger. But despite suffering from claustro phobia, the Falcons continue to show improvement every year. Falcons and Saintes Illustrated highlights this school's athletic excellence. We take great pride in our sports. The Falcons and Saintes continue to compete at tl1e highest level. And the conditions don't matter, whether they're game-related or fac ilityrelated.

Boys basketball coach Mr. Dale Scott pushed the student body to put more effort into showing their spirit for the sports teams. The student body responded. At the Griswold volleyball game, students piled into the gym supporting the volleyball team during their second round of districts. Senior Chad Pearce said, 'The girls were on a roll and had a chance to go further then any other team in the past years. It was fun at the football game so I thought that the volleyball game would also be fun." Junior Natalie Andrews said, "When I saw people coming into the gym and it just kept getting fuller; it really showed me that people cared. They were traveling at least 45 minutes to watch us and it got me motivated." At the Dome football game a group of senior girls traveled in the Sneed van driven by senior Danielle Sneed. Senior passenger Alexa Hensley said, 'The Sneed bus was amazing! We were all belting it karaoke style. We also were showing our spirit everywhere, including my awesome idea of leg tights which we decorated as well. I show my spirit to the team because, well, they rock!" At the Red Oak basketball game you saw the superfan era rising for that sport. Sophomores Aaron Snook, Simon Corzine, and Andrew Knuth walked into the gym sporting 70's style clothing and capes. Corzine put his cape into action as Knuth and Snook spun him around above their heads. 'The Red Oak game was awesome, " said Snook. 0We were screaming and cheering and the whole crowd got into it as well. " When asked why he felt the need to follow through with Scott's wish of gaining more superfans he simply responded, 0Why not? It's awesome, and it is school spirit!" When asked the same question senior Ben Hurley, who was an added super-fan, said, "Because it shows school spirit, dedication to the community, as well as the guys/ girls on the team." Superfanning and pep rallies pump up the team, as well as the supporters of it. Snook said, "It's just a way to show people the crazy side of you, and to push the limits. Superfanning is just fun!

Surpassing goals. "Overachieve." These are just a few words that can be used to describe the varsity football season. "Overachieve" was the football team's mantra for the season. Junior quarterback Nolan Batten said they picked "overachieve " because "we wanted to prove everyone wrong and get further than they all expected." Senior Matt Herrington also thought "overachieve" was a good saying. "A lot of people thought we wouldn't even be a .500 team. " Senior Drew Wise thinks they fulfilled their mantra. He said, "I thought we would only make the first round at the beginning. But as the season went on, we overachieved The defense huddles around Coach Kevin Culjat in the UNI Dome.

He said, "Everyone thought this would be a rebuilding year, and we wouldn't go to the Dome. But, we definitely proved them all wrong." The Falcons gather at midfield in prayer after the semi-final game against Bishop Garrigan in the UNI Dome. The Falcons played an inspired game, despite losing 13-0 in a hard fought game. Photograph by Claire Allen The Falcons ended their season with an 8-4 record and a trip to the UNI Dome. They started the season off with 2 losses, to Lewis Central and Clarinda. They finished the regular season by dropping only one more game to much improved district winner, Logan Magnolia. The team went into the first round of the play-offs as the district runner-up. They beat Lo -Ma 27-20 in an overtime thriller. The Falcons moved into the quarter finals and beat seventh ranked Pleasantville 28- 20. Winning locked in a third consecutive trip to the Dome. The team played Algona Bishop Garrigan in their first game at the Dome and fell short of making it to the championship. They lost 13-0. Winning improved Bishop Garrigan to 10-2, but they lost to Iowa City Regina in the Championship. Even tho ugh they didn't get to the championship game, many of the players had a lot of fun. Batten and Wise both said this year was better than the last two years when the Falcons were 2004 state champs and 2003 runners-up. Awalt said, "Going to the Dome was awesome and an experience of a lifetime. It was even sweeter since no one thought we 'd get there" The football team had an unbelievable season that will be remembered for years. They may not have ended their season with a state championship trophy in their hand, but one thing they did have was the ability to "overachieve."

The JV volleyball team included all of the sophomore players along with two juniors, Ka tie Devereaux and Beth Hamling. Over the last two yea rs th e sophomore class has stayed together as a grade. None of them were moved up to JV or varsity during their freshmen year or were moved up to va rsity du ring their sophomore yea r. Freshman volleyball coach Jacque Avey, who coached the sophomores the year before, says that "we need the players to stay together as a team because it is key to building our program. " Sophomore Shelby McMinn says that keeping the sophomores toge ther benefits the team on the court because "We all know how each other play. " The only freshman to be brought up to another team was Becca Gradoville who was moved up to varsity towards the end of the season. Seasons Freshman Stephanie Moran says that having all of the freshmen together "keeps us closer as a teamn The freshmen and JV teams were close off the court as well. They especially enjoyed eating at each other's houses before games, playing "gigolo" before games, going to tournaments, and having an end-of-season 3v3 tournament at practice during which they each brought treats. Sophomore Caitlin Finn points out a problem in keeping the grade together on one team. Finn says that she disliked how her grade couldn't expand to other players in different grades and it was more difficult to bond with the players in different grades. Sophomore Janelle Roux, setter of the JV team, says that keeping the grade together improved how they played because they had more experience playing together. Both the freshmen and the JV volleyball teams had successful seasons. The freshmen finished with a record of 13-2 while the JV finished with a record of 9-4.

All of the freshmen were on JV and most w ere on the varsity team as well. Varsity he ad coa ch Mr.Tom Heithoff says of the younger players on varsity, "It is not ideal because they run into situations that they don't really know how to control. " Heithoff then adds an advantage of the freshman and JV players getting varsity time. "They find out w hat works and what doesn't the hard way, which adva nces their skills," Heithoff says. Many JV players had to do double duty this season by playing both JV and then varsity. Sophomore Arny Ryan played JV and also started many va rsity games. "Playing JV taught me things tha t I could put into the varsity games," Ryan says. The JV team also benefited from the varsity time.

" Falcons Come Up Short, Grow Up Quickly By Alan Caniglia Despite needing young players to step into big roles, the Falcons proved that they could hang with the best of them. For the first time since the 2002- 03 season, the Falcons finished w ith a winning record of 12-10. Not only was this the first winning season for any current varsity member, but it was also head coach Mr. Dale Scott's first winning season as a coach at St. Albert. "With our tough schedule, it's always a good year to have a winning season," said Scott. The Falcons experienced some tough losses, but they did not come without some big wins. With a 7-2 start, it looked inevitable that a winning season was intact. But when the Falcons lost six out of their next seven games, it looked as though bad memories of the last two seasons were starting to set in again. "It was a team going through a rough stretch. I knew we'd come out of it because the kids really had a lot of character," said Scott. The Falcons finished the season by winning four out of their last five games, Senior Matt Herringt.On watches senior Quinn Walsh shoot a layup.

At the same time, however, the Falcons experienced a big loss when starti ng point guard C.J. Cradoville went down w ith a season-ending injury against the Knights. As a result, young players such as freshman Matt Waters knew that it was time to make some big contributions to the team. "When C.J. got hurt, I felt li ke it was time to step up," sa id Waters. While rid ing young ta lent and veteran leadership, the Falcons made it to the second round of districts before suffering a heart-breaking loss to eventual district champion Red Oak. "Our goal was to make it to Wells Fargo," explained senior Josh Marshall. "We just couldn't meet our expectations. " The way that the Falcons finished the season gives evidence that the program seems to be back on its feet and is moving back in the right direction. And maybe next yea r, with lots of young talent returning, the Falcons might be able to reach the ultimate goa l of playing in the stat e tournament. Although the futu re looks bright, the Falcons will dearly miss the contributions of seniors Alan Caniglia, Matt Herrington, Ma rshall, and Quinn Walsh. "It's been a great experience being a Falcon basketball playe r for fou r years,., said Herrington. With another season full of ups and downs, the Falco ns showed th eir toughness throughout the entire season-. Although they might not have reached their ultimate goal, it is evident that they took some serious steps in that direction. "We went through some tough times in the middle of the year, " said Walsh. "Towards the end of the year, we played well as a team, and we came together. " Junior point guard C.J. Gradoville breaks down the defense against West Harrison.

Frosh/JV Boys Basketball Future of Falcons looks bright By Steve Orwig During the boys basketball season, most of the time the focus tends to be on varsity, but if you took the time to notice, the St. Albert basketball program has a great young crop of JV and freshman basketball players who will be the future of the program. "For the young players coming up in the program, the sky is the limit," Head Coach Dale Scott said. "The kids are hard workers and I am very excited about where Falcon basketball is heading. " The JV ended up with a losing record, bu t it was a tale of two teams. "At the beginning of the year we thought we could just turn it on and off," JV Coach Matt Ahrenholtz said . "But by the end of the yea r we were playing complete basketball games and playing some great basketball and I was really proud of these guys by the end of the season." For the JV, it was hard to come together as a team. During practices they were intermixed practicing with the varsity, and on game days they were expected to bring it all together. "This was a very fun , yet sometimes frustrating, season," sophomore John Madsen said. "At the beginning of the year we weren't realizing our potential, but by the end of season we were playing good basketball. Also, spending 3 months with some of your best friends and working hard together is always fun and I can't wait until next year." For the freshmen, they ended up with a winni ng record, showing that their hard work paid off, because when you only suit seven players, you have to work hard to be successful. "These kids worked their butts off this year, " Freshman Coach Mike Kay! said. "And our improvement from the beginning of the year to the end of the year was tremendous, and I am really proud of this team and think they all have a bright future ahead of them.

After that, everyone started doing good and threw strikes." Teams Roll Through an Exciting Season By Aileen Mooney It's the other winter sport. No, not girls basketball or wrestling. It's the sport where you can be a spectator and a participant at the same time: bowling. Bowling is well-known fo r being the only sport where you can eat French fries, drink Coke, visit with your friends, and participate all at the same time. Bowling was again successful but even more than in any years past. There were more numbers fo r bowling than anyone could have expected, with a total of 63 bowlers. Head bowling coach, Mr. Ken Mehsling, says he believes that more bowlers went out because, "It's fun, it's non-intensive, and they can compete at any level and be intense or just have fun. You also don't lose your ball and you're always close to the concession stand!" Having so many on the team really helped the team to become more competitive with more and more people vying for varsity positions. This year the boys team was led by the seniors. Most of the varsity team consisted of seniors. As sophomore Jared Knedler said, "(The seniors) did their part." The boys varsity team consisted of seniors: Al ex Higginbotham, Ross Caniglia, Michael Palmer, Andy Willcu ts, Michael Palmer, Shay Ba les; sophomore Jared Knedler; and freshman Jace Cochran. The girls team, on the other hand, was a bit younger. The varsity team was made up of nearly all unde rcl assme n, including sophomores Valeri e LeMaster, Kaylee Smith, Cami Kinley, Brooke Kinney, and junior Michelle Farrage. 24 FALCONS AND SAINTES ILLUSTRATED Junior Michelle Farrage focuses on the pins as she gets ready to bowl.

Mehsling was very proud of this accomplishment, saying, "! was excited because I didn't th ink we did all that well at Red Oak, but really no one else did either, and we ended up w ith Cami and Alex having the top two finishes at Red Oak, so it really made sense that they go to state ." As Kin ley said, "I didn't expect (to go to state) because the team didn't make it and there w ere so many teams there. " After r e tu rn in g fr o m st ate , Mehsling said he had mixed emotions. "Alex was pleased w ith his last game and ended up w ith an ove rall 28th place finish. Cami wasn't as pleased and placed 43rd, but that's still better than the hundreds of people who didn't make it to state." Mehsling sa id he was very proud of Higginbotham and Kinley along with the rest of the bowlers who went ou t. As Higginbotham said of bowling and going to state, "Who-Rah!"

It's the St. Albert girls swim team of course. With a roster of only five girls consisting of Annalisa McGinn, Jessika Karl, Michaela Hurley, Valerie LeMaster, and Cami Kinley, the St. Albert girls swim team is rather small. However, when they join up with the Abraham Lincoln and the Thomas Jefferson swim teams, they form a still small but mighty team of 25 girls. One of the seniors, McGinn, talks of her experiences on the swim team. "I really enjoyed being on the team, and I plan on doing it in college." She also mentioned that when she leaves she will miss the team. Sophomore Kinley also talked of her experiences on the swim team. She has mentioned that she enjoyed the swim team this year, and is planning on joining up again. Also sophomore LeMaster says that she has enjoyed the swim team and wishes that more people would join. Otherwise she says that she w ill be back next year for the team. Although saying goodbye to two of the five team members due to graduation may be a little challenging, the girls all look forward to a bright future.

Some of the locations were Shenandoah, Red Oak, Glenwood and Lewis Central. Farrage played No. 1 or No. 2 singles for most of these matches. When asked what she thought about the tennis season, she said, "I thought tennis was challenging this year, because I've had to play tough No. 1 and 2 spot people. I still thought it was fun.

Track consist ed of running events that ranged from the 100-meter dash to the 3,200- meter run, and the field events included the high and long jump, and sho t and discus throws. First-year head coach Mike Kay! said, "I think the '06 boys track team season went well.

As the season came to a close and district came around the corner, coaches buckled down and got down to business with all the events. At districts, the Falcons qualified two individuals for the state track meet: junior Nolan Batten in the discus and senior John O'Malley in the /00- meter dash. On the way to finishing fourth at the district meet, the Falcons also advanced state qualifiers in the 4x100 relay (junior Jeremy Schieffer, senior Chad Pearce, Batten and O 'Malley) and in th e 4x200 relay (Pearce, freshman Zac Butcher, Batten and O' Malley).

Throughout the year, this number dropped to 17 with the loss of five of the cheerleaders for various reasons. However, the cut in numbers did not hurt the squad. "We still had a lot more stunting opportunities than we have had in past years," said junior Jordan McBride. Seventeen members were plenty to put up most of the stunts they wanted to do. More numbers was not only a stunting advantage; it also came in useful for the cheerleaders' annual Valentine sale . The cheerleaders sold over 5,000 valentines. "Val entines went great this year," said art teacher Ms. Deb McGuire, w ho hel ps ch ee rl eading sponsor Mrs. Gail Pogge. "I felt a lot less stress.

She says, "I felt like I knew most of the returning people, so it wasn't a difficult job. " Junior Erin McHale was a member of the leadership team, or group of captains, along w ith Golw itzer, McBrid e, and junior Anna Diez. It was a little difficult to get through the year with only one returning senior. "The leadership team really had to step up to get things done and keep the new people on task-" McHale said.

JV coach Tom Heithoff says his favorite moment was when the girls pulled together and worked well together as a team. Heithoff also said, "I was very pleased with the efforts from Trevour since she was so young and much wasn't expected from her. She played very well all season.

There are some true benefits to time spent in the weight room. It was an exciting year for lifters at St. Albert. With plenty of new equipment and a new, very dedicated strength coach, lifters were ready for results. Mr. Vince Rallis started as the new lifting coach in the summer, and he enjoys his job a lot. "I'm glad I got the opportunity to become the new strength coach," he said. "The kids are great and they work hard every time they step into the room. " Rallis brought new ideas to SA w hen he came. A major thing that Rallis started was circuit training, which is where instead of the traditional lifting style of starting at one rack and staying there the whole time; there are stations around the weight room and lifters go from sta tion to station and work on different things at each one. It is a good way to work the whole body hard in a shorter time frame . Many lifters enjoyed this new style and it seemed to pay off. Senior Jessika Karl, who us ed circuit training throughout soccer season, enjoyed the lifting and Rallis' tactics: "We've improved a lot in strength and hopefully it pays off in the future. " Junior Sam Egger also liked Rallis as the new addition to the weigh ti if ting department. "He's a great guy and gets us wo rking ha rd whenever we are in the room. " Every year, lifting is becoming more and more stressed in sports both in season and during the off-season by coaches. Mr. Randy Salyers, head girls soccer coach, is a very strong advocate of weightlifting both in and out of season for his sport. He constantly stresses weightlifting for his players. Students agree with this idea, as most students are lifting in the off-season in order to get stronger for their sports they play during the year. As junior Graham Whye says, "It's a great advantage for any sport.

Albert is a place where many people may think that they know what they ca n expec t and w hat is goin g to happen. This year though, all of this was thrown out the window with the addition of classes, clubs, and even trips. The list of classes yo u could choose from expanded as classes like H istory in Films, Anatomy, Mass Prep Ensemble, Music Theory, World Music and Voice Class were added. History in Films added a fun new way to look at history in a new perspective. It showed history through the eyes of Hollywood. The Mass Prep Ensembl e added a new flavor to Mass. It brought more bvehness to the music and got you to want to sing a long with those songs. Along with the new ensemble, the choir was just as great whi ch might have come from the new singing classes. Voice classes were added and you could tell it had a grea t impact on the choir because they sounded great.World Mu sic introduced students to diffe rent types of mu sic fro m around the worl d , whil e allowing them to play some of the instruments as well. Anatomy brought a new type of sc ience which eemcd to appeal to a lot of people. These new cla cs seemed to give students choices of cla se whi ch they were actually excited to go to. I thi nk tha t the add ition of classes reaUy opens up a lot of experience to the students. You can tudy music from aro un d th e wo rl d, w h ile playin g instruments from around the world.

By Aileen Mooney T he World Mission group went to the Dominican Republic for th e se cond consecutive year. The seniors and their chaperones stayed for 10 days in the D .R . where they spent a few days at Creighton Universiry's Institute for Latin American Concern, several days in the campo ofLa Esquina, and one day at the beach. They spent their first dew days at !LAC in order to prepare themse lves for their time in th e Dominican Republic by learning about: the D.R.'s history, the tasks they were about to perfonn, and the life in the D.R. In pre parati on for th e ir time spe nt in th e communiry of La Esquina, the mission students we nt o n a scavenger hunt aro und Santiago to get to know the ciry, visited a Haitian betay, and spent some time in Cien Fuegos before leaving for the campo.

There was a fire in Santiago in 197 5 and 100 homes we re burned down . The people of those homes moved to th e area of Cien Fuegos to build new homes. C ie n Fu egos is th e most impoverished place in the Santiago area. Co nditions are fin all y improv in g, slowly. Sp ending th e d ay in this communi ry wa s a huge eyeopener for the students. After preparin g and lea rning abo ut th e D.R.. t h rough !LAC, the mission students made their way to the campo . T hey spent the next several days in the campo of La Esquina to build 10 latrines for the communi ty. T he students ended up completing nine of the latrin es, which was much more than th e anti cipated six that the communi ty had hoped for. "They worked great as a team to accomp lish the completion of the nine latrines." Mrs. Donna R iedl , chaperone and campu mj nister, said of the missio n students' work. While in the campo, the studen t enjoyed playing volleyba ll , learn ing ca rd gamt: , having rock fights and wa ter lights, and pl aying domin o · with the kid .

However, leaving the ca111po turn ed out to be even more difficu lt for many of the studL·nts on m ission. By the end of the ir stay, La E quina seemed like home to them. "Eve r y yea r, you hear the World Missio n team say how hard it is to leave, but you neve r rea lly understand just how diffi cult it is until you ex peri ence it yourself.

SUBMITTED PHOTO SCHOOL TIME 2006 Reflection Da By Hannah Rounds "I t's an opportunity for students to get away from th e everyday sch oo l environment and to spend a little time in prayer an d reflection to learn more about themselves, our faith and God, " commented M rs. Donna Riedl, campus minister, on the purpose of our reflection days. O n their designated refl ection day, each high school class arrives prepared for its retreat. A few customs that add to the comfort of this day are j ean clothes, do ughn uts and pizza , and the re laxing medita tion during th e afternoon. Each reflection day is focu sed on a central theme that uses a number of activiti es to involve students and ti e into how this theme is presented throughout the day. Fre shman Mike Roane gives an example of one of these ac tivities, explaining, "The theme for our grade was abstinence and we got a box, decorated it, and wrote a letter to our future spou se le tting them know we waited for them and abstained fron1 intercourse until marriage." Roane elaborated on the day and said , "We also had a guest speaker who discussed abstinence and how she had waited and had no regrets. She al o spoke of regrets that we might have if we didn 't wait and what we were risking by not absta inin g , for in stan ce , contracting an STD." Sophomores Samantha Drake and Brian Beverage perform a skit about a Bible passage for their grade.

After dividing into gro ups, students n1ade a list of deci ions they make during the span of a week and then acted out a kit based on one decision and the proce ss that was invo lved. They also perfom1ed ski ts based on Biblical stories that tied in with their theme. Like many ot h e r classes, the sophomores went o n a hi ke after lun c h . Sophomore Zach Masker, who participated in this activity, praised it by saying, " It was enjoyable and allowed us to get in touch wi th nature." Mean whil e, on th e refl ection day for the junior class, social j usti ce issues and peacemaking were two subj ects whi ch they touched base with duri ng the day. Juni or C had Belt, who was asked what he liked best about the day, decided that he particularly enjoyed the story selec ted from the Bible that he reenacted with fellow gro up members into a skit. "Skits are a fu 11 way to ac t out the theme," he remarked. Th e se n ior cla ss fo c u se d o n m emori es an d futu re aspirati ons throughout the course of their refl ec tion day.

Many students, though, also find jobs to earn cash. One of the more popular employers for high scliool students is HY·Vee, both at the new store on Madison Avenue and at the store on North 16th Street. Freshman Andrew Vejvoda said he enjoys working at HyVee because of the pay. But along with the pay comes some difficulties. "I hale cleaning the restrooms and doing the carts," says Vejvoda, "but I also hale ii when angry customers come through the checkout line and yell al you for not sacking their groceries correctly." Grocery stores seem to be popular. Junior Amanda Jungman worked at Super Saver. "I enjoy working there because I work with a lot of really cool people," she said. Senior Emily Meilike broke the trend of working at a grocery store. She was employed al Country and More. She said she enjoyed the flexible schedule that they have. Gary A. Rindone REALTOR" 3036 S.

Junior Jordan McBride is a lifeguard at Town and Country, "I love working al the pool because you get to work outside and meet a lot of new people," she said. Another job that some students take up is doing maintenance work at the school. Junior Jake Brown says he enjoys working al school because the hours are very flexible, but the labor is pretty hard. Though school can be hard and lime-consuming, many people find jobs to keep the money coming in. Whether ii be in the summer or during the school year, there are always good and bad things that come with the job. Senior Jenna Derrig checks a prescription at the Walgreens pharmacy.

(Photo by Angel Mescher) Ho11iecomine Week The good and the bad By Hannah Rounds The fact that this year's homecoming was different from years past was very obvious for all St Albert High School students . Some changes certainly left them to wonder, "Is change really for the best?" Several students became suspicious when it was announced that the first dress up day, Monday, was Western Dar. Students know it's tradition for Pajama Dar to be the first on the calendar. Quick to blame it on a StuCo malfunction, some were pacified when they found out the change served religious reasons. Mass had been moved from Thursday to Monday, to prevent the loss of daily studies due to the pep rally. Apparently, administration thought the slumber attire would be inappropriate. Either that or they were hoping to prevent people from the usual nodding off during the homily • And so the changes continued. The homecoming theme dress day, las Vegas Day, had soon disappeared and Thursday became Picture Day. Rachel Sykes deemed this day as "being PGintless, because no one wants to dress up like a picture." However, it later was discovered that this day was not a dress up day necessarily, but picture day for underclassmen and a jean day for the seniors • Administration had been confronted with a scheduling conflict and simply decided that the Thursday of Homecoming Week would be the best place to fit in picture day. The Homecoming Pep Rally was also held on Thursday. The date had changed from Friday to Thursday to benefit the cross country team (who had a meet on Friday during the pep rally) so they would be able to participate in activities. Students were skeptical about this change, but most were satisfied when the football team took victory at the Homecoming game the following night. Though the date had changed, at least the winning tradition from years past had not. And the usual Homecoming tradition, the crowning of the king and queen, was also something that hadn'.t changed. Popular opinion among the students has said that the kings and queens of past years have been well deserved, and this year was further supported that statement • Senior Katelyn Crouch, who was also on court, said, "I'm very happy that Megan (Conlon) and Cale (Yates) got ii because they're both truly sincere people." However, some seniors shared differing opinions on how their last homecoming week was spent. Camille Beckman said, "I was disappointed because the focuses of the week were mostly its flaws and what had gone wrong, rather than the actual week." However, Beckman agreed with fellow senior Jeremy Clouse when he stated his favorite part of the week. "The seniors dominated the pep rally and Powder Puff," Clouse said, laughing, "while the Juniors lost." The last major change took place on the Saturday of the dance. Instead of being held at the high school, it was moved to the primary building. The main reason for this change was because of Oktoberfest, which had been scheduled to happen the same weekend and place of the Homecoming dance. Many students were wary with the change of scenery, but changed their minds as soon as they began dancing and having their fun . Although many changes caused the students to change their minds about the week, many admitted that all was well in the end. Sophomore Tony Knotek speaks for many when he sars, "The week was really unorganized but at the end of the week, the dance was worth it." : 06 sateen e o o e Q • • • • • • • o • o • • • • e • • e • e ~ • o o • • • • o • • • • • • e e • e • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • o o • \ • 0 • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Seniors Christina Peckham and Katelyn Crouch along with the rest of the dance team are all smiles as they perform their porn routine during the pep rally.

However, whether the money they have is spent wisely or not, it is certainly done so in a variety of ways. Students have many common obligations to spend their money on. Senior Christina Peckham noted a few things that were found frequently on her list of things to buy. "I spend a lot of money on food and clothes as a teenager, and I think most people do." With these few th ings added to t he expenses of the cars students must upkeep, it's easy for everyd ay expenditures to add up quickly and have a tendency to leave students very low on cash. Sometimes the cash flow into one's pocket seems to be flowing out at a larger rate than it is coming in. If the weekly allowance from one's parents isn't cutting it (basically, if you're just not a freshman anymore), most students opt for getting a job. Even though a significant proportion of our student body is employed, many still have a difficult tim e budgeting their money. Mrs. Nancy Sc hall es, personal finance teacher for high school students, had some helpful advice for students who may find themsel ves in a money mishap. " M a n y students forget to keep track of how much money is deposited and removed from their account," Schalles said . "It would greatly benefit students to keep track of their balance in a checkbook (should they have one), and it's also a good idea to get their parents involved in the process to help them save for any future expenses." Though Schalles also encourages spending money wisely and not on impulse, many students have been known to do otherwise .

(Photo by Valerie LeMast er) sa teen imagination, students can find a few quirky things to help themselves to a little fun. Sophomore Andrew Knuth had a few ways to have fun while not spending money so wisely. "It doesn't take a lot of money to have a week's worth of fun. Creativity is the key." And creativity certainly is key with Knuth and his friends. Fellow sophomores have been known to pass around stories featuring spotlights, Santa suits and rats , that is, for purposes that will remain unmentioned. Sophomore Aaron Snook, an accomplice of Knuth's, said his main motivator for buying "pointless" items is simply, "Boredom." However, even though Snook spends his money on impulse, he didn't consider it to be a waste at all. " I spend my money on pointles s things," Peckham said while laughing and listing just a few of the items. "A clown mask and a fog horn are just a few. My friends and I have found more than a few ways to have fun with those." Wh atever students' motivation is for spending, they should remember to use their own judgment when it comes lo having access to both an open wallet and an open mind . • e • o o • • • • • • • o o e o • e e e e e e e • • 0 e • • • • • • • • • 0 • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Junior Cameron Tucker puts gas in his Jeep.

"We just all love to plar." Teamwork was also a big plar for the 14-0 victorv over the freshman and the 7-0 victorv over the juniors. It seems that on the field the girls work as a whole to fight off the competition, whether br intimidation or pure talent. Senior Rachael Showers tries to explain their connedion on the field br admitting to just "having a great time together. Evervone seems to just come together during powder-puff." Intimidation seemed to take a turn in the senior's favor this rear, as in the past . "The whole time ther just kept telling us ther were going to beat us," freshman Gabbr Welch sars about the seniors' victorious war of beating up rour ego • It didn't help the rounger girls' confidence when ther found out ther would be plaring touch instead of flag this rear. Ther thought of it as another war for the seniors to beat up on them • Their intimidation appears to be working because no other teams were reciprocating it to the seniors. And who would? Ther are, after all, the defendin·g four-rear champions • So remember, talent doesn't alwars beat the love for the game. These girls plar with love, drive, and ambition, and look where it got them?

Students must complete ftve hours of community service per semester in order to both pass their religion class and also to graduate either into the next grade or (if they're seniors) to receive their diploma. This service hour requirement has been in effect since the 2004-05 school year. As the year went on, students continued to donate their services to various organizations and causes. There was alwaYS someone needing assistance, so most students were lucky to discover service projects that were suitable for them. Senior Ashley Hutcheson explained, "I go to a day care and play with kids because I like them and it's also related to what I want to do when I get out of high school." Hutcheson, who has volunteered at multiple day cares and through the Big Brother/Big Sister program, recommends this type of volunteering to others . "We play games and learn about the kids, which makes it a good experience," she said. "It's fun and you get to know the kids and positively impact their life." However, if childcare isn't for you, there were plenty of other places for you to earn your hours. Junior Nicole Schwartz and Hutcheson both helped to lend a hand at the wrestling meet that takes place at SA annually . Hutcheson said that the Saturday she spent there was fun and that "I learned more about the sport of wrestling and until then, I hadn't known much at all." There were also many other opportunities to volunteer Sophomo res Sean Eri xon and Jonathan Greider speak wit h a nurse while volu nteering at Mercy Hospita l. ( Phot o by Valerie LeMaster ) 012 sa teen at SA throughout the year, including the auction, benefit dinners in the cafeteria for foundations like Make-A-Wish, and the craft fair . Schwartz, who helps with the craft fair's cookie walk every year with fellow dance team members, saYS, "One advantage of being on the dance team is being able to reach out from typical activities because we not only help out, but work together for a good cause and therefore bond as a team." Though all students were obligated to complete service hours, they had mixed opinions about whether or not it served the purpose administration strived toward . Schwartz feels that, "It seems as if people only complete them so they can pass classes and graduate. It just seems people are only giving up their time for that reason." Sophomore Kyle Graham thinks the required service is a good plan because, "It prepares us for the future and helps us to be recognized as a role model in our society." Graham has volunteered at both Mohm's Place Thrift Store and for various causes at his parish, St. Peter's . Though it takes time and "you have to give up other things quite often," according to Schwa,µ, "at the same time, you benefit by getting an inside view and being informed on what is going on in your community." Mr. Tim Vogel, study hall coordinator, summed it up, saying, "I think it's great because it introduces students to a new facet of making yourself feel great. Usually when you first start out you feel like 'Why do I have to do this?' But when you finish with the job you feel great; a gigantic warm and fuzzy, and you are glad that you did it."

Well, yes. The most prized activity accomplished on the weekend seems to be simply "hanging out." So what is the best way to enjoy your weekend time? "Go out to eat and have tons of fun with your friends," says junior Natalie Andrews. Andrews' best weekend memory was during the summer. "My brother and his friends shot firecrackers at me and my friends. We ran toward the football field and it ended in us ripping out our jeans while trying to jump t he fence." Sophomore Mike Hoffmann enjoys his weekend free time by spending some time with his family. If he doesn't have anything going on, he " bonds with his parents." Although Hoffmann's weekend usually consists of "hanging with friends in Council Bluffs or Walnut," his favorite memories are "fishing, going to girls' houses to hang out and watching movies." Another activity enjoyed on the weekend is hanging out with friends. "Seriously, all I do is sit at peop le's houses," says senior Megan Conlon. Senior Danielle Sneed enjoys taking trips with friends on the weekends to avoid doing the "same old things". Sneed has fond memories of her road trip to Shenandoah. The best part was "going with (seniors) Hutch (Ashley Hutcheson), Tina (Peckham) and Stacie (Kelsey) and singing the whole way there." Some odd agendas are set up for students' weekends. Most of them are spontaneous acts when students don't have plans. Sophomore C.J. Gradoville remembers when he and his friends "went around throwing Valentino's magnets at cars and seeing if they stick." On a usual night Gradoville just hangs out at friends' houses. As far as odd happenings on the weekends, seniors Katelyn Crouch and Peckham promote fog horn use. They buy fog horns and then hide out and fire the horns at unsuspecting passersby. Where did they come up with the idea for this odd weekend adventure? Crouch says, "We were watching a movie and there was a scene set on a golf course. Before someone would take a swing, the fog horn would be used." Naturally, the golfers in the movie were a little upset. Peckham and Crouch have also seemed to have left select victims of their fog horn use somewhat upset. Crouch remembered one un fortu nat e experience wh ich t oo k place on Broadway. I n t he events that followed after the fog horn was blown, a lady walking out of Dairy Queen was distracted. She looked toward the car and waved, and in the process, tri ed over the curb.

Hensley adds that health is a lifestvle . "You can't plan on changing your eating habits or dieting for a couple weeks," she said. "It has to be a change of life." Mr. Tom Heithoff, health teacher, sums this all up on why staying healthy is important . "Good health in adult years ma y depend on the physical foundation built in teen years," he said. "Healthy lifestyles developed while young could encourage adults to stay with a fitness program."

Movies like "Brokeback Mountain" changed many people's perspective on sexuality, "Goodnight and Good Luck" showed us what can happen when government gets out of control, "Capote" challenged the death penalty by giving viewers insight into how the murderers felt, and the Academy Award for best picture went to "Crash," which shows racism today . These were the movies that tended to get critical acclaim and win awards, but most weren't big blockbusters. Although a few students went to movies like these, the majority stuck to movies like "Saw II," "40-YearOld Virgin," "Wedding Crashers" and "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire." Senior Jeremy Clouse said that he saw both types of movies throughout the year. "I tend to go to movies that are a more critical success, because of all the hype around them . People talk about them and it makes me want to see them." Hr. Michael Sullivan says he goes to movies "for intellectual and emotional stimulation. When I see something without these I f eel gypped." Both say that many students don't go to movies that make them think. Clouse thought this was because students want to be entertained and not ciuestioned. Sullivan said, "When I was in high school I loved James Bond along with everyone else, but when I got to college I had teachers who taught us how to watch movies and what to look for. High school kids are looking for fun; their taste will develop as they do." When asked to p ick their favorite movie of the year, Clouse chose "Jarhead," which was a critical and box office success. Sullivan went with "The Constant Gardener" because "it deals with the problems of today, that will affect us in the future."

The opinions of girls varied when it came to these, and some approved of them while others shunned those certain fashion statements . Sophomore Simon Corzine, who was sporting a pair of square-cut pink jeweled earrings, commented, "It's my birthstone. I like to wear them because I think I look good and it gets me with the ladies." Regarding both fashion trends popular for males this year, junior Nicole Schwartz commented, "I think guys look great with the earrings and many have the potential to look classy. However, if a guy can't pull off either the earrings or the popped collar and it just isn't working, then it doesn't look too good." Senior Ashley Hutcheson agreed with Schwartz and added, "If their personality fits it and it works to the advantage of their image, it can be very complimentary." Contradicting Hutcheson's compliments, sophomore Caitlin Finn remarked, "I don't like the look of the popped collars. It looks as if they're trying too hard to 'fit the part.' " However, Finn had a different opinion when it came to the "blingbling in the lobe-age." Finn and fellow sophomore Meg Donegan agreed that it looks good and can be a signature addition to what might be a sign of good taste . Although the boys were notorious for piercing their ears, several students from the senior class chose other methods of body modification. Soon after their 18th birthdays, students would then arrive at school with a new tattoo or piercing . Hutcheson was one of several seniors who took part in this tradition . She justified her tattoo by commenting that she "had always wanted one of a cross, so when I turned 18 I went and got one." When asked if it was the painful experience it is often rumored as, Hutcheson replied, "I was expeding it to be very painful, but it didn't really hurt." Among other fashionable items this year were those introduc d by many girls at St. Albert. Gaucho pants, leggings, barrettes and oversized sunglasses were paired with gaudy, but cute, jewelry in some of the most common styles this year . "I like the look of wearing leggings under skirts," commented Finn . She added her· support for this trend by saying, "It draws more attention to creativity rather than bare legs and makes the short skirt look dassy." Although many trends can add to one's appearance, they also have the potential to take away. When asked what determines whether or not a person can pull off a trend, Donegan stated, "It's their personal style and whether or not they're wearing it just for the attention. Most people who try the 'look at me, look at me' approach don't succeed.'' According to Donegan, there are also good trends that can be ruined by people. Donegan says, "We should shun these people, much like the lepers in the Biblical times." Senior Annalisa McGinn offers an example. "It doesn't "!Ork when people with swollen, nasty cankles try to wear itty-bitty leggings or people's rear ends hang out of their gauchos. I often wonder if they own a mirror." If you're too worried about fashion faux pas, the best trend by far is to just be yourself! Dress comfortably and incorporate the trends subtly when trying them for the first time, and don't be afraid lo consult fashion magazines and fashionistas for advice . 020 sa teen . • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • . . ...... .. ..... ....... . . . , ........................

New accessories that include cell phones equipped with camera and video, digital cameras the size of credit cards, iPods that hold up to 10,000 songs and video, and portable PSPs that fit inside your pocket. These are just a few of the new items on the market, but why are these things so popular? And how are kids, without jobs or a source of income, getting these things? The reason these things are so popular is because these high-tech frills are something we've never seen before. Remember how things such as Nano Pets and Pokemon were before, when we were younger? Now it's time for the iPods, cameras and cell phones to become the craze • Sophomore Jonathan Grieder said, "Everyone wants something new because it's Un) and most people, like me, get the iPods from their parents for like Christmas or for their birthdays." "People get them because they're so much more portable and easier to use than they ever were before. I like to use my camera for taking pictures of my friends," sophomore Becca Meade says • It's becoming common that, when something cool happens, you don't see someone whip out their camera; they whip out their phone to capture the moment and send it to all of their friends with pidure messaging, One of the more popular items on the technosayyy list is the iPod, holding random Items that include music, video dips, commercials and music videos. Not only are the iPods cleverly attractive, but almost everybody has one • "iPods are amazing because if you look back a few years, things have come a long way, and it's cool to see what new is to come," says junior Allison Gorman • IPods also have every accessory that Jou can think of with connections so you can listen in your car and carrying cases to match your personalltJ • Video or camera phones, at one time considered high tech and expensive, now are cheap and come from just about every phone company • "I like cameras on my phone, but they'll get you in trouble if you take pictures of inappropriate things," says senior Shay Bales • Of course, there's more to come in the technology department in the coming years. Maybe someday there will be something along the lines of wireless headphones for IPods or some sort of cable TV that comes with it • Who knows what's in store for the fuluref But one thing is for sure: The present technology is only temporary because every new day comes new ideas for new gadgets, and there will always be people looking for the next big thing • 0 0 0 0 •• 0 •••••• 0 ••••••••••••••• • ••• •••••••• •••••••••• •••••••••••••••••••• ••• • ' 0 e e G e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e • e e e • e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e • w H A T Out with the old, in with the new A B 0 u T D 0 y 0 u L I K E B E s T Sophomore Jennifer Liston Senior Josh Trowbridge "I have it just in case of ernergendes."

They took a weekend for TEC (Teens Encounter Christ), learning about their faith and gaining new friends and experiences . Gina Assmann, Meghan Crowley, Angel Mescher, Aileen Mooney, Patrick Fetter, and Danielle Sneed all attended a TEC . But what exactly is TEC! A few days filled with faith, fun and thoughts on the future with several other students from all around the Des Moines Diocese. The daYS were spent reflecting, listening to testimonies, and interacting in groups . Many students enjoyed meeting new people at TEC . Gina Assmann continues to stay in touch with people she met on TEC . "It was really cool to go on TEC and meet an interesting variety of people," said Assmann . One of the things that students on TEC were asked was why they were attending. Patrick Fetter decided to go because, "I had heard a lot about it, and it sounded like fun." TEC was an experience that was difficult to fit into many seniors' busy schedules, but making time for it was definitely worth it. It was a really interesting experience, and very memorable for the students that attended it.

It's one of the foundations that SA prizes, and this was no different for the seniors of 2006 . The water fight is something that every senior class looks forward to in their final daYS as a student at SA. The water fight for the seniors of 2006 was a little bit different than the water fights in years past. The seniors enjoyed a day of fun at fellow senior Andrew Doll's house on Lake Manawa. The day consisted of boating, grilling out, getting some sun, playing football, and a waterfight. It was more than just a water fight in a park; it was a day filled with fun and great memories . Water balloons, food, friends, and the satisfaction of making it out of high school alive: all perfect ingredients for a day on the lake . Senior Jeremy Clouse said, "It was a really fun day that I won't forget. Hy favorite memory of the day was when we were boating and we saw everything around the lake." Senior Andy Willcuts said, "Even though not everyone was there, it was still really fun. It was better than not having one at all, and everyone had a good time." With not a lot of people there, the waterfight aspect of the day still took place with the guYS taking care of most of the dirty work . Senior Alexa Hensley's outlook on the waterfight was simply this, "I got hit with a water balloon and didn't have anything to throw back. It stunk!" Sometimes all it takes is a group of seniors, food, water balloons, and a boat to make one day a day to remember. And the day at the lake did just that. Cale Yates tries to es ca pe as Chad Pearce strikes him with a water balloon.

The band playing, the slow procession down the gym floor by each pair of bright-eyed, smiling pair of nearly grads, and parents, students and teachers all gathered to watch this memorable occasion . But every graduation is a little bit different. Steve Theulen spoke as student body president, followed by Alex Higginbotham, senior class president. Then the St. Albert Award was given to Mrs. Mary O'Neill by Mr. Alan Mooney, chairman of the Area Board of Education . Ross Caniglia, valedictorian, and Kellie McGruder, salutatorian, both gave speeches commemorating the event. They talked about moving on, growing and developing as an adult, yet never forgetting the precious memories created throughout their high school years . The choir then sang and the diplomas were presented by Principal Mrs. Jonna Anderson. Dr. Luvern Gubbels gave his remarks, and the Spirit of St. Albert Award was presented to seniors Marissa Finn and Chad Pearce . Bishop Joseph Charron gave his final blessing and it become official: the ~lass of 2006 had finally graduated . They walked down to "The Last Song" no longer as students, but alumni . With their high school years behind them, it's safe to say most of the seniors are ready to move on. As Alan Caniglia put it, "I'll miss being able 10 hang out with my friends, but I'm ready for something totally different." St eve Theule n, Le e Grimm and Jeremy Clouse pose just after graduation.

If nothing else, we ' ll always have the Best Semester Ever to look back on. Or at least the 60 or so days of it be fore the adviser stopped updating the board. (By updating, of course, he means changing the number of days as well as cleaning up after whoever it was who kept writing th ose rea lly sloppy double V's - for Very Very, presumably - so that they looked like a single W.) Of all seven letters to the sta ff (sorry, Class of 1999; the tradition d idn't start until 2000), this one is by far the toughest to get a handl e on. Jn that regard, it is a fitting metaphor fo r the year. As you may reca ll , the first semester was marked by the adviser's declaration that he had no intention of staying in his c urrent job. The third quarter, paradoxically, was highlighted by his renewed passion fo r the program that inc luded initiating a complete upheava l o f the department's course structure beginning with 2006-07. Then it a ll came crashing down at the end of fourth quarter as he once again wondered how much longer his future was at 400 Gleason . Through the ups and downs of2005-06, though, one th ing was constant in Room 102 : There were a lways enough j ournalism students dedi cated enough, concerned enough and talented enough to keep the yearbook and newspaper on track . While frustrations related to the job may have affected the adviser's behavior in ways ra nging from uncharacteristica ll y lovv attendance at fa ll sporting events to a comp lete absence from the grad uation party c ircu it, it is important for a ll the departing members of the journalism program to recogni ze that those frustrati ons were not about the students. In fact, the students were the one consistent positive of the school year . In a j ournalism year that had its share of bright moments, the highli ght rema ins one deadline midway through second semester.· Mere days after the adviser had dec lared that " the wheels are coming off the wagon," the yearbook sta ff faced a decision. To meet the pl ant's next deadline, 48 pages HAD to be mailed. Accordi ng to the staff's own deadlines, 72 pages were supposed to be ready so that the rest of the yea r wo uld go more smoothly. Fa r fewe r than 48 of those 72 pages that the yearbook editor took home to look at that weekend were actua ll y ready to mail, with some nowhere c lose to compl eti on. When Monday ro ll ed arc:i und, the adviser asked the editor, "Ail een (because that was her name), how many o f those pages do you ex pect yo ur staff to clean up in time to mail?" Her answer was all 72; in the end, 70 of them were actua ll y mailed in that batch, making the seniors' fin al few weeks much easier than if the decision had been made not to push hard on that deadline. Never in eight years on the job has the adviser been more proud of the effort of a staff. That dedi cated staff included its fa ir share from the Class of2006, of course . When May 5 ro ll ed around and the seniors wa lked out of the gym with their kites, six of them had successfull y su rvived three years in the journalism program. Another six departed having j ust compl eted two years. Still eight more graduates passed through at some time in their high school careers: two who spent I 01" , 11 '"and the first half of 12'" on board; one who was around for I 0'" and 11 '"; two who lasted a full year as J- 1 seniors; and three who discovered at various times that one semester of J- 1 wa plenty. (Hint: Look at the arrangement of photos on this page to figure how who belongs in whi ch category.) J f any of those 20 are reading this right now, it means at least a few months have passed since your fin al days in St. Albert's classrooms. Now that yo u've had some time to refl ect, here's hoping the portion of th at time spent in Room I 02 had some value as you move on to the next chapters in your li ves . • e • o o o • • • • • • • • • • • • • e • • e • • • • • • o • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • , Index 33; F&S 6, 7, 21 , 43; Time 6, 23; SAT 2, 24 Baumert, Marc People 20; A F&S 7, 21, 42; Time 9, 27; SAT2 Abraham, Farrah People Beaman, Heather People ' 28 ; SAT 4 14; F&S 49; Time 6, 7; SAT : Ahrenholtz, Matt F&S 21, 4, 21 ' 22 Beauchamp, Theresa , I , Allen, Claire People 14; People 34 , F&s 21; Time 21 Beckman, Camille People : Andersen, Jake People 34 2, 33; F&S 40, 41 , 49, 50; ' Andersen, Jonna People Time 15; SAT 6 : 134; SAT30 Bell, Rachel People 34; ' Anderson, Kelsey People Time 28, 29 : 19, 28; F&S 24, 36, 38, 44; Belt, Chad People 14; F&S : Time 22; SAT 14 7, 43; Time 3, 8, 22 , Anderson, Danielle People Bendgen, Shane F&S 52, ' 20 53 : I Andrews, Natalie People Benson, Kelsey People 14, : 12, 14, 25; F&S 3, 4, 10, 11 , 26 , 27, 38, 39; Time 26 , 44, 45; SAT 15, 24 Benson, Marcia People 34; : Armbruster, Matt People Time 15 ' 20; F&S 7, 21 , 22, 42, 54; Bergan, Josh People 2; : Time 24 F&S 24; SAT 31 , Assmann, Becky People Beverage, Brian People : 28; F&S 16, 18, 36; Time 20; F&S 42; Time 8 ' 22 Beyer, Tarra People 34; : , Assmann, Gina People 2, Time 11 , 26 8, 12, 27, 40, 41; F&S 10, Biller, Amanda People 1, ' 11, 16, 17, 36, 37; Time 5, 28; F&S 4, 54; SAT 18 6, 14, 20, 29; SAT 26 Bowers, Brian F&S 7 Avey, Jacquie F&S 11 , 12, Brown, Jake People 14; 13 F&S 21 , 35, 55; SAT 4, 24 Avey, John People 20; F&S Bruck, Fr.

Photograph by Brian Beverage Thi s yearbook is a collection of stories, and at the end of every story comes the moral, ri ght? Well, this is the "moral" I offer you: Th e book is ending, but our stories continue. Our stori es shape the people we become, and they continue outside of who we were in th e 2005-2006 school year. Every story is different, because every person is different. We as students are a little bit of everythin g put together in the halls of St. Albert to learn, have fun, grow up, and mostly: to share our stories. We are all unique and diverse, just like each of these magazines; and maybe your story wasn't limited to one magazine. Or maybe you r story changed from magazine to magazine. Either way, our stories are changing. So we can ask, "What's your story?" But most li kely, we don't know the answer to that question until after that particular chapter of th e story is over. It is only then that we ca n truly understand and grasp our experiences. The cast of the spring play, "The Night of January 16th" takes a final bow.

Whether just up a grade level at SA or onto college, the work force, or the military; we have al l moved on. Our stori es have now changed, and w ill co ntinue to change throughout life: day to day, moment to moment. O ur stories, our lives, are constantly changing. As we move o n in our lives, and create different stori es, we need to remember the stories we have shared together. The only things we know for su re are th e experiences we have lived and shared, and w e must use those experiences to guide us through our ever-changing present and ever-uncertain futures. • • : "My foot the • • • : door, and is out you can't : • • :stop • :-The me now . .. " All-American So I guess th e mo ral of the story is, simply, "Don't forget your stories and the lessons you have learned from them, and try to have no regrets." Because it is the good and bad, the ups and downs, the laughter and tears that have made you who you are today. • :Rejects • - Aileen Mooney Yearbook Editor • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Seniors T.J.

Many might not agree with that statement after om three dual wins on the year, but looking at years past, we are getting better. The year started off slow with half the team out due to the extended football season. As the year progressed we filled 10 of the 14 spots. It seems that the only way to get fans to the meet or tomnament is to give things away, like the lovely T-shirts that set a record high in the stands this year. I always figmed that the thought of your fellow classmates in strikin g single ts was treat enough to fill a gymnasium. I guess I was wrong. The year was capped off by Brent Marshall's first win of his career, Eric Golwitzer slamming a large kid, and Sean McNitt wearing his sin glet backward and making it to state. So to all of you in the St. Albert community who have not been to a wrestling meet , that's what you have missed out on. Hope to see you next year!

OO®WfID/@llOOJ1® @@~W Teeing Off For the Green 'N' Gold By Kyle Graham [ · · This season was a good one. We had many up and down tournaments, but we usually had fun. We started at the Al/fJ Invite at Dodge Riverside. At that time o r: main core for the guys golf team was Shawn Daley, Paul Johnson, Jake Hoffa, Chris McKenzie, and myself. The weather wasn't the greatest for this meet and was evident in our final scores. After that, we had five more tournaments. Those were the LC Invite, Glenwood, the Roncalli Invite, TJ, and our sectionals. Not too many of us were shooting where we wanted to be, but this didn't matter much until we got to sectionals. At sectionals we came through when we needed to and we qualified for districts as a team, which hadn't been done at St. Albert in a long time. At the TJ dual we got back one of our better golfers from injury, Sean McNitt, who helped us with a pretty good score at districts. Then there came the new golfers to the team; Doug Moran, who golfed at the AL(fJ Invite, and Wade Batten, who golfed at the Glenwood Dual. This year was good overall, but we have a lot of room to improve for next year, especially since we lose our captain Shawn Daley and two other seniors for next year, but we do return a good core and hope to do well next year.

Also new were sophomores Lauren Kennebeck, Allison Palmer, Ashtajohnson, and Taylor Russell. Bad weafuer caused a lot of canceled meets and practices but didn't keep fue team down. "We've missed some practices, so when we have it we take it seriously and work hard," sophomore Sarah McKee said. Returning to St. Albert this year was boys tennis. We used to have a boys tennis team, but a few years ago it got cut. The few members consisted of sophomores Blake Fostvedt and Tyler Haug, along witl1 foreign exchange students Phillip Wang and Torno Tsushin1a. The boys started strong wiili a victory at ilieir first meet (not counting forfeits) and continued to do well wiili Fostvedt and Haug winning city doubles.

(Photo by Jordan Hoffa) By Andrew Brown This year was a pretty good year for freslunan football, I thought We started the season by playing against Glenwood at home. We were very nervous and I didn't know how we were going to do with the short number of players we had. It was even worse since we lost between 5 and 6 players from the year before. We ended up beating Glenwood 28 to 21, and I thought that was so awesome. After the first game we started reacting more as a team and becoming more comfortable with each other. Besides coming together as a team, we got ourselves together and started working on our own weaknesses as well as the teams. We went on a winning streak the rest of the season and won all three of our last games, b eating T J., A.L. and Griswold. It was awesome coming out of my first year in football with an undefeated season of 7-0, and I can't wait for next year. The Falcons rush back in as a team following warm-ups against Platteview.

The season started with a mix of fe elings and people: the different playil1g levels, personalities, and the outlook on how the season would turn out. Though the season started out with a losing record, many players were beginning to bond with each other and their coach. The tean1 quickly fell in love with their coach and the show "Grey's Anatomy." That became the main topic of t11e conversation during conditioning. With the team friendships building the s a.son got off to a new start when the tean1 beat LC, one of our biggest rivals fo r the whole year. As the season ended with the win over Glenwood, the team finished the season on a high note, a good ending to a rollercoaster year, but a year that we wouldn't trade for anything.

We had a pretty good season, finishing with a record of 9-3. We were coached by Mr. Andy Assmann and had 10 girls on the team. We'll all remember when freshman Amber Thomas fell to the floor after someone hit her in the head with a basketball. Overall, it was a fun season. The JV season was even better. We had Miss Melissa Respeliers as our coach. We finished 6-9 at the end of the 52 season, with 12 girls on the team. One fabulous memory we had was when we got beat by the Blair Bears by 40 or 50 points. Getting Burger King after the games was also a lot of fun. Overall, this season was a good experience, especially since we were freshmen and hopefully we will get a lot better for next year. In conclusion we both had a lot of fun this year on both the freshman and JV teams. We both came out as better players by the end a nd it was a n awesome and really exciting season.

We started practicing hard in the summer. The practices were hard some days and fun others. The JV team really buckled down and we started developing a team bond. There were some really rough games, and some really great games. The season had its ups and down but we managed to work through it and have a good season.

It all started with our fundraisers: first it was the taco wajl<.1 then it was the spaghetti dinner during basketball, then it was the junior high dance that we put on. I got to be auctioned off to one of the kids, and then got to dance with that person. I felt honored to be auctioned off for a mere dollar. March 19 came so fast; that was the day we left. It was a long day with all the flights we took, the layovers, the food we ate, it was exciting, but at the same time a very long day. We left around 9:30 in the morning, and we got to the Dominican around 9:30 that night. The first night we just relaxed and got used to the surroundings. The first three nights we stayed in ILAC center. That was kind of like a house or hotel. They fed us, they gave us movies to watch, beds to sleep in. The four days after that we stayed in the campos, where we met our families, and got to meet them very well. The first night 76 it was fun to see what our families do ever yd ay. They work constantly everyday. A typical day consists of getting up, the kids go to school, we ate breakfast, then worked until lunch, ate lunch, worked until dinner. When the night was over we played cards, or sat at om families' house. Then the last two days, we went to our resort. I have to say that it was very nice to relax on the beach after four days of building latrines. It was tough, but it paid off. I have to say that if I could do it again, I would jump right in. It was the best expeiience you could ever have, and to see what life is like there, compared to back here in Ameiica, it's like a whole different world. Ibings are different, people are different, but one thing is the same; it's the way people act there. They are some of the nicest people you ould ever meet, and they make a living off of some of the hardest ways to live, but they do it everyday and it was nice to contribute to them and their country.

(Submitted Photo) 77 By Matt O'Malley Setting up class retreats, helping to serve at Mass, and contributing to other school activities are a few examples that Campus Ministry students help out with at our school. -. This year, going on a retreat with the rest of my junior class was something to remember. With good food, fun activities, and lots of fun memories, the Campus Ministry students were successful in creating a relaxed and very spiritual atmosphere for us to enjoy. When it came time for the all-school Masses, the Campus Ministry students made what people would think to be just another average Mass into something that the entire student body looked forward to. Coming up with creative themes like "Follow the straight and narrow path" or "Becoming fishers of men" were huge successes. Along with the themes, the students also served at Mass, with jobs like Eucharistic ministers, lectors, readers, and servers. Also, what came along with the big jobs that were very important came the little ones here and there, like placing banners up in the hallways, decorating the St. Albert statue, and reconciliation services. What may seem like an easy job to some may b e a surp1ise that our Campus Ministry students that do so much for our school work much harder than most think, in the name of God.

Concert has learned music vocabulary, proper breathing •• techniques, and ways to achieve a rounded, mature sound. Furthermore, additional voice sections have been added, like second sopranos, a more defin ed tenor section, and occasionally descant. This has resulted in an intricate harmony. Just like every year, concert choir leads school liturgies, performs four concerts a year, and participates in the all-city choir concert. However, in addition to those performances, the Iowa Athletic Association invited the choir to sing the national anthem before a game at the state basketball tournament in Des Moines. Despite the practice time of only 60 minutes a week, improvements have been made on an already solid choir. Below: Junior Bryce Kinard sings loud and proud at the fall concert.

We went on a trip in March to Chicago; it was a lot of fun. BliR-0 is probably the easiest class I have. It is also the most interesting class I have. It is fun to go in and just play.

FACULTY By Emily Oliver In case you hadn't noticed, the fashionable little lady running around St. Albert is the newest addition to the Math department, Mrs.Joan Phillips. I've seen her running around all year and wondered who she was, so of course I had to get the dirt on how she ended up at St. Albert and what she was all about. These are the questions I asked her to find out just what was up with Mrs. Phillips: How did you end up at St. Albert and what did you do previously? "I taught in Missouri for four years and then Millard for 18 years. I worked with Area 13 as a Math consultant for two years, and I ended up at St. Albert by being involved with Area 13. I also chose to come, 90 because working around the school I knew St. Albert had a good reputation and I liked the school." What do you enjoy most about being at St. Albert? "Well, coming to St. Albert from the public schools in Millard, I really appreciated the private school setting. I feel much more professional here.I definitely think that St. Albert has a really caring atmosphere that I enjoy a great deal. The students are amazing also; I love them." What do you enjoy doing in your spare time? "I'm basically a workout queen. I run, bike, swim, lift, etc., and I also love reading." So, as you can see with my investigative work, Mrs. Phillips seems to be fitting in quite nicely here at SA, while spicing it up a little.

If you had one last meal, what would it be and why? I would have to pick a giant roast beef sandwich from Arby's, because it would taste REALLY good. What are your future goals? I don 't have them all set yet, but definitely go to college. Who inspires you most in your life, and why? My parents for sure, because they're always there for me and they work hard to make everything go smoothly. 107 108 JUNIORS JIBNN1IFIE LISTON JJlU ''lI'lIN JUNIORS { By Emily Oliver When you hear the word foreign, what do you think of? For most of you ... the thought of something different that doesn't fit probably comes to mind. Well, with our foreign exchange student and peer Martin Buch, this is definitely not the case. I think that everyone in the junior class would agree with me in saying that Martin definitely eased into our grade and it feels like he's b een with us all through our school career. How did you end up at St. Albert and what was it like here at first? "I was originally supposed to end up in Miami, Florida, but I think that since I was older they really wanted me to use the language and get a lot out of the experience. I didn't really have much say in where I went, but now that I'm here I'm glad I came to Iowa." What was the hardest part about coming to St. Albert? "I think the hardest part about this was in the first month it was hard meeting new people and all the new experiences, but my classmates adopted me as one of their own and I consider them all my friends now." What has been your most memorable experience since you've been here? "Wow, I would have to say it's definitely meeting Shawn and Aaro~ and being in our band The Sound of Starting Over. Either that or being runner-up and Mr. Congeniality at Mr. SA. I've had so many memorable experiences here though." Do you miss home a lot and would you ever come back? "Honestly, I never really have time to really think about missing home and my family. I have so much to do here to keep my mind off of it, but yeah of course I miss home and my family. It was very hard to leave them behind. I'd definitely come back here, but probably for vacation or just to visit." Martin may have had many memorable experiences here, but he's given us a lot of them too. He'll definitely be missed next year. f lE!lE<CCA 109 110 JUNIORS By Emily Oliver Have you ever wondered what I'd be like to take a walk in someone else's shoes for a day and see how everything takes place for them? If so, here's a glimpse into Valerie LeMaster's ever-so-slightly unoriginal life. "Fighting giant demons, slaying dragons, and traveling the world to fight off zombies with my amazing ninja power ... just· a day in the life of Val, oh wait ... no that's just what happens in the comics I create in pretty much every class. Really, my day starts out with forcing myself out of bed, going to school, and drawing in pretty much every class. (It's amazing I can even tie my own shoes!) After school come sports prac- <C.A:IRJL r IPJFJEJFIFJER tices (swim team, bowling, or golf) I also have two jobs, which include being a lifeguard at Kirn Pool and taking orders at Tacojolm's in Mall of the Bluffs. During my f ree time I enjoy a wide variety of random activities, ranging from making electronic music ... playing trombone & tuba. .. working on comics, reading zombie books, playing Dance Dance Revolution, or obsessing over the next "Saw" movie. But my absolute favorit e thing to do is during the St. Albert home football games I get the honor of dancing around in a falcon costume as our school's mascot, Freddie the Falcon. So, my life isn't as exciting as my comics .. . but I sure do enjoy it! " JUNIORS "--;-- - I By Emily Oliver When you hear the words 'girls sport' what comes to mind? Volleyball, Softball, Dance, etc? To Dani Andersen those words take on a whole different meaning, because Dani hasn't followed the ways of Mia Hamm, but instead of Muhammad Ali. That's right, she's a boxer and here's her story. "I started boxing this year and I train at the Down Town Boxing Club in Omaha. I have three coaches and a boxing partner, named Paula. I love boxing, because it keeps me in great shape and it gives you a huge adrenaline rush. Also, I love the environment and the vibe boxing gives off .. it's like we're all one big family. Boxing helps relieve a lot of my stress .. .! definitely recommend it for anyone who's really stressed out. If you're having a bad day you can just go and take out your f rustration on the bag. There are some downs to boxing though. If you're in a fight and you get lzit ... you can't really feel how bad you're hurt during the match, because there's so much of a rush you're almost numb to the pain. Practices are really Izard. We do sit ups practically upside down and tons of strength exercises. It's tough, but the benefits of it are definitely worth the Izard work. I've made some great friends and developeq rny character so much." 111 Top 10 most common weekend activities 1. Hanging out in school parking Jot 2. Hanging out at someone's house 3.

Chrft§tma§/§pning DaJrllce§ Short on Attendance Not Fun By Gabby Welch Everyone knows that the winter and spring dances are not close to being as popular as Homecoming or even Prom. You don't get all dressed up, the dates aren't taken as seriously, and the group you go in seems to be a lot smaller. Even though these things are true, the spring and winter dances are not lacking in their fun . There are less people, making everyone go all out when they dance. You get to request the music you want and you can brag to everyone who wasn't there how fun it was! Spring and winter may not be as popular as Homecoming, but they are always just as fun!

For whatever reason, the Class of 2007 was one that never turned out in droves for the j ournalism program. In fact, when senior year finally ended, only seven of you were a part of the process. Even if you take into account students who passed through the program briefly (the two gentlemen in the bottom corners dropped by for more than a year while there were also such single-semester journalism students as Chad, Nolan, Jordan and Kris), the total number of students represented by the Class of 2007 was the lowest of any graduating c lass in the adviser's nine years at the school. That means those students who did stick with the program had more than enough work to go around. And over the past three years for the five in the top row and the past two years for the duo in the second row, you spent a lot of time in Room 102 getting your share of that work done. What brought you here? For the one who started buying yearbooks in seventh grade, I guess taking pa.rt in the program was a no-brainer. And one of you signed a " blood oath" to restore talking privileges in eighth-grade study hall, so your arrival junior year was not a surprise either. And the one who wound up running the newspaper came along with her friend, who 1 think was just looking for a place to keep her sack lunches properly refrigerated. For another of you, you may have figured it could only get better after having to write the Ac Dec story in eighth grade Exploratory Newspaper (I hope at least parts of the three years were better than that). Of course, two of you weren't even at the school in eighth grade (preferring such tropical locales as Florida and Malvern), so you didn't know what you were getting into. Now you know it's OK to thrO\v doughnuts at teachers but not OK to order pizza for unsuspecting others. Now it is time for you seniors to go off and pursue your dreams. And for the first time since my a1Tival at St. Albeti , it is time for me to go off and pursue dreams as well. Fortunately, that just means having to move to another hallway, not another school. Things will be different around here now that you're gone, and even more different when I think about some of the faculty who will be gone as well, some of whom mattered very dearly to some of you, some of whom matter very dearly to me. So remember, if you get the urge to visit, you can now fi nd me in Room 209. It doesn't have a back room (so no doors to slam), but I'm sure I' ll have the day of the week and the date written somewhere on the dry-erase boa.rd if you need to know it. And if you're really lucky, I just might say something funny and hit the cymbal. P.S. 1 thought this was supposed to be a pop-up book?!
