Each of us are on our own special road and for studen ts at Saint Albert each grade is a new road to follow/ with little detours and surprises along the way. The freshmen "can/t wait to get on the road again" because they/re looking forward to iver~ licenses and their own cars. The sophomores are anxiously awaiting their junior year and prom/ because "The life they love is making music with their friends." The juniors/ "like a band of gypsies we go down the highway// wait their senior year and future plans. With the seniors graduating and going on to college/ "goin/ places that they/ve never been/ seein / things that they may never see again/" expresses their feelings. We feel "On the Road Again " fits the life at Saint Albert High School now and even after the old high school days are over because our whole life is like a road. The people we meet are like the towns along the way and everyone will surely have a few detours/ dead ends/ and no passing zones along the way. But if we keep this in our thoughts/ "We/re the best of friends/ and insisting that the world keeps turnin/ our way/ and our way/" we/re sure each of us will reach our destination. 15 16 17 S+.

The 1980-81 Freshman Basketball team had a rough season. They only won one game, a 69-45 victory over Missouri Valley. Their record was not really a fair indication of the kind of team they were though. They were very new to the system and seemed rather unsure of themselves at times. As the year progresses, they started playing together and seemed more confident but they could not pull in another victory. Coach Rick Wahl basically started the same five throughout the season. These cagers were Mike Doran, Jay Pender, Pat Johnson, Paul Romano, and Mike Goebel. According to Coach Wahl, several others such as Matt Root, Kevin Wickham, Pat Geier, and Kris Rallis played key roles in the Falcon 's team concepts. the Frosh did not have a great season record wise, but they did gain valuable experience. Their hard work and experience gained does not show in their 1- 11 record, but it will in the years to come. (A bove) Pat John son looks up court for an outlet pass. J. V.

This year's Falcon cagers have re-written the Council Bluffs History books by posting the first undefeated season ever. Winning the conference tournament, the city title, and defeating six undefeated teams were among the highlights of this 22-1 season. Falcon opponents faced a very balanced and diversified attack. Using both ' ' a controlled offense and a running game the SA cagers had little problem ,•, with opposing defenses. On the other hand, the multiple Falcon defenses and full court presses limited their opponents to a very impressive 49 points a game. "A willingness to work and most of all the great fan support that is given", are some of the reasons Coach Ka vars gave for this year's excellent season. Coach "K" also stated that, "One of the biggest aspects of this team is their committment to each other and their unselfishness.,, There are many ingredients that go into a 22-1 season. Tradition, fan support, team unity, and a desire to win, are just a few of them. For to list all of the ingredients that are necessary, would be almost an impossible effort, and to put these together would even be more difficult but the Falcons achieved just that and more.

Dimen sion staff: Molly Goebel, A nn Ryan, Barb Larsen work hard to organize the SA yearbook. The Journalism Class taught by Sr. Pat McDermott is made up of a group of energetic students. These students m ake up the staff for the school paper, "The Accipiter", and the yearbook, "Dimensions". By working their fingers to the bone, the students have strived to meet the deadlines imposed by the paper editors and yearbook staff. The Journalism class puts on the annual Christmas Dance to earn money for the Accipiter and the yearbook . . Another fund raiser is the "ad day", held each semester. The class splits up and visits various businesses around town to see if they want to place ads in the yearbook. All in all, these students are doing their best to keep the school informed.

But just as you can't judge a book by its cover, you can't judge a product by its label. Books and products are very much alike in the fact that they are not always what they seem to be. You have to open them up and discover what's inside in order to appreciate them. People are the same way, and for that reason we chose the idea of a pla1n label yearbook for our theme, not because we feel we are plain label people but because we are just the opposite. Just as the world is made up of different people who all have very different tastes and attitudes, so is St. Albert. When you look beyond the things that make us alike you find a very interesting and special group of people, all of whom have their own ideas and goals. If there is one thing that binds us together, it is the pride we have in each other, that feeling of oneness that is not easily equalled by others. St. Albert is a special place with special people and exists in a special atmosphere. Through its uniqueness it has established itself as an exception in the time of plain label thinking. • • • EE 0 • • 4' • • • • • • • ES • • ---- • • • .......... - 15 16 FRESHMAN LEARN THE ROPES (above, first row) Steve Plumme r, Tom Martin, Brian O sborne, Pete Book, Ken Masker, Jack Smith, Paul Stee nson, (second row) Je ff Alfi ers, Matt Wise, Joe Shaver, Mike Petratis, Andy Fischeer, Jeff 0 6 14 22 14 27 Freshmen Football Record Boys town Lewis Central Plattsmouth Missouri Valley Paul VI Edison 6 18 27 6 26 12 The Freshmen Falcons gained much needed experience with a slim 2-4 record .

You get the Saint Albert Drama Department's production of "Cheaper by the Dozen". The play, which takes place in the early 1920's, tells the story of the Gilbreth family, including all their trials and tribulations. We see the younger kids trying to persuade dad to let them have a dog, the older girls wanting to wear silk stockings, and mother trying to stay calm through all of it. The fact that the play was both funny and touching added variety to it, making it enjoyable to watch. Director Lin Holder helped to promote enthusiasm and professionalism among the cast which seemed to do quite alot for the overall production.

The group of girls which comprised the 1981-82 Saintes far . exceeded anyone's expectations, except maybe their own, as they produced the first twenty-win season in the history of the ·program. During the season th ey posted impressive victories over several Southwest Iowa Pow~rs, were undefeated in the city, and captured the Sioux City West Holiday Tournament. They also captured the attention and devotion of many people in the area. The Saintes used a balanced scoring attack and quick defense in exh ibiting their winning ways but more often than not it was their ability to perform in clutch situations that carried them to vi ctory. A heartbreaking loss in sectional finals put an end to the season and the high school careers of seven se niors. The unity, desire, and unselfishness among these seniors were key elements to the team's success. Their tal e nts will be missed but hopefu lly they have started a tradition which wi ll continue to grow in the years to come .

Their regular season consisted of a record of 7- 11. Many of the wins were over some tough teams including the team from Thomas Jefferson. The "game went into overti me and the Falcons proved to be the better team. Into the tournament time, the Falcons began to roll. They skimmed by a victory over Shenandoah and moved into a game with Atlantic. Atlantic had beat them in the regular se-ason. This time they didn't. They then moved into the final round of District play with Red Oak. Red Oak finally dominated the game but not until the final period. The Falcons were led by Chuck Schroer, who made the All-City first team. Steve Goebel made the All-City second team. The team was young and should be tough in years to come.

Le nihan captured three tournament titl es including Audubon, Paul VI, and West Harrison. Pierson captured the Paul VI tournament title. Grote, McPartland, and Tony Allmo n were Champions at the N.C.C. Conference Tourname nt. Althoug h the Falcons didn't send a wrestler to districts, their tournament performances were outstanding. They fin - ished third in both the West Harrison and the Conference Tournament. Next year's team should promise as much as this year's, as only fo ur sen iors will be lost to graduation .

The highlight of the day was when the seniors did their version of the history of rock and roll. The big finale of that was their rendition of "Grease Lightnil'}g". The se nior girls did their own song, "The Twelve Days of Demerits". It proved e nlightening. The big act of the day was a surprise act by the senior boys to an AC/DC song.

The "Big H ill ", as students fondl y ca ll it, or G leaso n Ave nu e , as the public road is na med, has its adva ntages. A big reason athl e ti c teams do well he re is because o f the conditioning fac tors t he incline gives. Track, foo tba ll, cross country, and volleyba ll tea ms were "on top or' their seasons due to the fitn ess that wa s ea rn e d thr o u g h "doing hills."

What are some of the various reasons for students working? l) To save for future use (college or buying a car). 2) Basic necessities (clothing, going out, and gas). 3) Helping out with family financial situations (tuition). 4) Gifts for others. There a re drawbacks to holding down a job. They are: I) Less spare time to go out. 2) Hard to keep grades up. 3) Interferes with extra-curricular activities.

Oh well, sometimes it ought to! ]'lovember 4-6, the weekend of the fall production of "You Can't Take It With You," proved to be an extremely nervewracking time and a great learning experience for all of the cast and crew involved. Opening night started out like any other opening night on the St. Albert stage, but a little time and a lot of bad luck soon changed that. To start things off, a fuse was blown out and the sound was lost. That wasn't so bad; the problem was easily handled by the calm and collected group. But tension rose during the third act when Mary Johnson missed an entrance and none of the on-stage characters knew why. The experienced seniors took control and soon had the show back on its feet when they discov24/ You Can 't Take It With You The Cast (In Order of Appearance) Penny Muffy Sycamore .............. .... .........

The show itself was about a slightly a bnormal family whose youngest da ughter wanted to marry into a rich well-todo New York family. At first it seemed impossible that the families would ever unite, but through the help of Grandpa (Paul Diblasi) and several of the Sycamore family's visitors, the families could even become friends.

Danccs/ n Winter Play Chills Audiences 'fhe 1984 winter play, "Murder On Center Stage," proved to be a real challenge for everyone involved. In the play, the technical aspects of a production, such as lighting and sound, are a big part of the story. This made things difficult for the tech crew, because of limited equipment in the lighting and sound system of the S.A. stage. Nevertheless, the show beca me a success, in spite of weather and illnesses holding up progress. Audiences watched the story unfold of a group of college students becoming trapped in their theatre after a rehea rsa l. While trying to find a way out, they learn about a deranged janitor who is seeking revenge for having his acting dreams shattered twenty-five years before. "Murder" was also performed as a one-act play at the district speech contest, where it received a II rating.

Valentine's Day comes but once a year and everyone knows that day is February 14th. And just like every year Cupid's arrow struck the hearts of the St. Albert students. Over 1200 flowers and valentine's were sent, most of them red. Love was in the air and smiles could be seen in every classroom as cheerleaders ha nded out dozens of ca rna tions.

Hopefully, our different liturgies do that. " ... Father Kruse Masses this yea r each had their own specialness and the themes and homilies pointed that out. Students gathered together to share and celebrate the different occasions for which we had the masses. In the opening mass, students 7-12 heard of the importance of starting over. The other masses also went well but a particularly unique one was the one held for Linda Sundrup, where students and some faculty , with Father Kruse , prayed for God 's guidance during Linda 's illness. Individual class masses went well,' and the religion depa rtment, being On Top of Things, plans to have more smaller gatherings to ensure greater class unity and meaning.

As the couples walked in they were greeted by the sophomore hosts and hostesses and were given Hawai ~n leis and punk glasses. The gym was filled with faculty, the biggest turnout ever of parents, and almost 200 excited juniors and seniors. Music was played by the band ltchee Brother, who had a little help from Paul Diblasi and Jeff Book doing their ZZ Top impressions. The highlight of the evening was the crowning of the Prom Queen and King, Jean Carlson and Dave Caparelli. The 1984 Prom Court consisted of: Tony Allmon and Amy Porter, Jackie Burke and John Gard, Tom McVey and Gina Jabro, Fred Roane and Kim Branstetter, and Tom Oberdin and Chris Jeffrey. The dance was over, but the festivities had just begun. Everyone went to the Rolla Rena to roller skate. After skating until about 3:00, people decided to move on to better things: bowling. After bowling, the Promgoers went their sepa rate ways, going out to breakfast or home to sleep. Jay Pender seems to be sayi ng, "No pictures, please" as he enters Prom with date Trudy.

The show was picked because it was funny, easygoing, and exactly the opposite of last yea r's show, " Gods pell." The show was almost like an episode of the " Love Boat": boy meets girl, loses girl, and gets girl back again. Billy Crocker, the man in love, is willing to do anything possible to get his girl, Hope, back again. Sir Evelyn is Hope's fiance when they boa rd the ship, but he ends up ma rrying Reno Sweeney, who succeeds in luring Evelyn away from Hope . Moonface Martin and Bonnie board the ship incognito but they're a ctually crooks trying to skip the border. They get involved with the whole deal and make matters even more humorous. Jn the end, everyone ends up with someone different; after all, "Anything Goes!" The passengers and crew ga ther to sing "Anything Goes."

Few Groups but Active Although S.A. doesn't have many organizations, the groups tha t did exist this year were noticed through their involvement in school activities. Student Council was able to achieve many things this year. Under their leadership the student body functioned very well. National Honor Society had its traditional Induction Day in the spring, and sponsored other activities such as Leadership Day, the Faculty-Senior volleyball game, and giving a scholarship to a graduating senior. In the music department, Chorus members worked hard to sing for school masses and other events. Les Musiques was a lso busy, singing at school masses, churches, and other community gatherings. Under the new direction of Marcia Johnson, the group's size dwindl ed considerably during the yea r but still sounded great. And that brings us to the St. Albert Band . Though small, it does exist and does its best to add a touch of class to athletic events, pep rallies, and school masses. Thanks to a few dedicated members, we are able to have live music a t these events. The members deserve recognition for a ll their ha rd work and dedication. . ,1. "'. Ii{~. ~I .

Though maligned by some of the students due to a Jack of accomplishments, they in reality did quite a number of things. They used their infinite knowledge to decide a good use for the money raised by the magazine drive. The funds were pumped into the locker rooms, such as locker repairs. Among other things pulled off were of great magnitude include these: An intramural basketball league was organized that proved to be a rousing success, with the winners receiving some nifty T-shirts; a nicely constructed suggestion box for the students was placed in the office so it would be available to everyone; and in an innovative move Student Council arranged for a few students to attend Marquette High School in West Point, Nebraska, for a few days. Student Council does, in fact, serve a purpose. Without the Student Council, a vital link in communicating with the people higher up would be missing.

Porn Pon/ 67 Squads Build Up Spirit The Cheerleading Season began on March 17 of last year ( 1983) with tryouts and the announcement of the new squad members. The first order of business was to pick out the new uniforms and to decide the captains for football, wrestling, and boys' and girls' basketball. Beginning June 3, the Varsity girls were up on the hill at 7:00 every morning to learn new cheers and improve on old Pam Genereux plays "cupid" as she sorts through valentines.

They were not only getting ready for the coming school year with the ga mes, pep rallies, an d making spirit signs, but a lso for the I.C.F. (I nternationa l Cheerleading Foundation) Camp, which was held at Iowa State University in Ames during mid-July, the 17th th ru the 20th . After all of their hard work, the girls were ready for camp. Off they went to spend four days learning new things about the activity they had undertaken fo r the coming year. The squad had a successful camp session bringing home the spirit stick and ma ny other ribbons and awards of excellence. They were Grand Champion Fina lists a nd won the Super Spirit pin. W ith the new season , came new cha nges. The sponsor, Konnie Weigma n, started a three year rotation of school owned uniforms. Mrs. Weigman hand -made the girls' skirts, which helped reduce the cost of uniforms for the Cheerleaders, yet the girls still have many other expenses. Another change which was added was a pep club, not only for sports, but for all activities, such as plays, musical and Les Musiques. Throughout the year, the Cheerleaders have many fundraisers. During the summer, the squads took turns running the baseball concession stand, before the big games they sell spirit buttons, and they can always be found selling flowers and valentines near February 14th. There is a lot of hard work involved, which many people don't realize. Many hours are spent practicing and doing things for the school and athletes. They come to all of the games, serve at athletic banquets, make signs, decorate halls and lockers, and bake for various teams.

T he Fa lcons pulled off a stu nning vic tory aga inst city riva l A brah am Lincoln during the mid-season . The game was such a trounce tha t some sour grape A .L. fa ns had th e ga ll to th row a whole, raw slimy fish ac ross th e n oor to our side a t ha lf-time. This, combined wi th the twenty point defea t of the Lynx, made th is game the high point of the season. In fa ct, the Fa lcons had ma ny high points, but not ma ny wins. They ra n with Ca rroll Kuemper, a much ta ller a nd more ta lented team, but came up a fi ve point loser to the fi fth rated team in the state . During the year, they faced a total of six a ll-sta te selections, along with the fa ct t ha t their opponents usually stood from five to nine inches taller than the scrappy Fa lcons. Also against the Falcons was lack of experience . Although they had ten seniors on the team, the only one who saw much action the year before was guard Jay Pender. This "green " team could be a reason why the Falcons dropped three games by two points or less per game a t the begi nning of the season. However - they never gave up. Says junior Steve Plummer, "We gave every game our best effort, and if the ball had bounced our way a couple of times, we might have come out with a winning record. Now we have to look toward next season, and I feel that we can be a pretty good team." The team faired well against city competition, winning two games out of four, with wins over Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln. They closed out the season with a nother tough battle with Red Oak. This time, superior height and depth on the bench, along with the typical boisterous home crowd at Red Oak, finished the Falcons 67-53. Their record, 8-1 1, doesn 't really do justice to the effort put forth every time they hit the floor. G ua rd J ay Pender pumps one up from the la ne. Steve Plummer powers in a tough basket.

Ba ·ketball/81 Saint es strive for • wins Senior Louise Rohling powers her way to the basket. Wins are not always counted as how many more points you score than your opponent. It is often what is gained, learned, and retained that constitutes a victory. Such was the case this year, as the Saintes had another season as the last - the losses out-numbering the wins. But some things just can't be counted when it comes to growing - and the time spent by this year's team was very valuable. One might look at the record - 5-16, a nd give all sorts of excuses. The point is, Seniors Jenny Moran and Diane Burdick attempt to get the ball to half-court. The team ga thers fo r festivities at the Ravlin residence. Ju nior Ba rb Simon applies defensive pressure to her guard. 82/ Basketball sta tistics a nd scores ca n't even compa re to fri endships, feelings, a nd a ttitudes - a ll a re immea urable. Ten of their losses came by ten points or less. Ma ny we re ve ry, very ha rd to swa llow. An importa nt note here was that they were a team, and they won a nd lost as a unit. It was a team of friends a nd a ttitudes were good . However, it is very ha rd to keep morale up when losses kept coming despite hard fought games. Against Underwood , a last second bomb from thirty feet gave the Saintes their 15th loss. At Abra ha m Lincoln , the Sa intes lost by one po int a fter a ttempting a last second shot. Shelby-Tenna nt won a ft er a technica l fo ul was assessed to our bench with eight econds left in the game a nd their free -th row was good, a nd they won by one point. This is onl y a sampling of the frustra ti ons these Sa intes felt. To try your ha rdest, they say, is the greatest rewa rd , grea ter tha n victory. But in a seaso n like this one, that line is difficult to bu y. ln a way, the whole season was like the last seconds of the game - frustrating, exciting, disappointing, a nd gone entirely too fast. Seniors composed threefo urths of the team, a nd their leadership, tac t, and poise helped the team through the tough times. Their spirit was the glue that held together temperaments and feelings.

Students were more likely to wear parachute pants or coaches pants on Grub Days than the traditional jeans. It was the year of Principal Lackowski's resignation and later the resignation of Vice-Principal Logsdon, effective the following school year. lt was the year of qualifying for state, as the boys' and girls' Cross Country teams both competed at state. Tom Allmon went to state in wrestling. May brought the hope that some spring sports would qualify for state, as tennis and track teams continued to win matches and meets. It was the year of "' You Can't Take It With You .. , "' Murder on Cento.:r Stage" and ··Anything Goes". It was the year of the number one Brain Bowl team , and of the Journalism awards for some members of the DIMENSIONS and ACC!PlTER staffs.

' .. . ; 1985 Dimensions Vo/urne XIX St. Albert Catholic High Schoo/ 400 Gleason A tre. Council Bluffs, ~ lo~a s1so1 New Ideas Crash • • • '• 1n 1st Day • My eyes flew open in disbelief. Our school has been overrun with grubs I thought. Walking in the front door, I saw herds of girls in crisp gray skirts checking out the guys on the first day of school. Only at closer scrutiny did I realize that the new gray / blue skirts were worri by the high school girls, while junior high had a smaller blue/ white/ gray version. Some seniors decided to wear the old green uniforms for their last year at S.A. After this shocker, I walked to where the seniors locker. Again, this special area in the l 00 wing was occupied by ninth graders. I looked at my little yellow paper with the locker number and combination on it, 624. That's the 500 wing . I guess all the high school students ( l 0, l I, I 2) are I in the 500 wing while junior high (7, 8, 9) are in the l 00 wing together. Walking to my first hour class, I met new, strange faces. Who's the grump with the glasses in the conservative navy suit? The tall lady in sweats and tennis shoes looks athletic - perhaps the new P.E. teacher? out of his dad's her, a Neola farmr take in a load of Varsity girls' basketball received new a way uniforms, with no sleeves and no huge collars. Senior Barb Simon holds the ball awa y from A.L.'s Jill McManigal at C.B. Fieldhouse . Working with the new computer and printer is senior Lisa Nordstrom. Students had the opportunity to work with the new printer to try different things with it. At the first annua l Pep Assembly, band members in their new uniforms and visors wait with the drums for their turn. Theme/ 3 ... Scatter Changes Thru the Year being at school from 04 on or forfeit the night's activities; defined probation/ suspension periods with limited probation and full probation preceeding in-school suspension and out-of-school suspension; and the quote "Dressing TOWARD the school spirit of the code . On a cold, windy, winter day, imagine how students interpreted THAT ONE! Finally - luncbtime . My classes and choices ha ve changed so much since last year. I KNOW that the food some seniors di faculty for the ible rims w ere i couldn't have changed that much! The cafeteria looks different, though . New tables donated by the St. Francis Alumni Association, added to the "atmosphere," and were arranged in a unique way . A new head cook, too, and a new maintenance man, with a beeper for emer- . gency calls - also new. My first day at school was full of surprises. In fact, the whole year went that way. Seniors were surprised to find privileges taken away, such as open campus during semester fina ls. Juniors were shocked their candy sales went so well. Change was either "good or bad," but mostly "different." In this year of change and turmoil, some students resisted, others moaned, but eventually, all got used to them. Like a pair of new, stiff leather shoes, the changes were "broken in" by the students and later the changes were found to be comfortable and used . 1981 Juniors and sophomores sit and eat at the new cafeteria tables. The tables were donated by the St. Froncis Alumni association . Tony Jaworski is the new assistant principal. He replaced the resigned vice-principa l Greg Logsdon, but Jaworski prefers the title "assista nt principal." George Kippley, new band instructor, finally ga ve the band some respect with his spunky spirit. Here, Kippley leads the band at a performance at the Middle School. Junior Fred Grote displays the new wrestling uniform at the L.C. dual meet. : I Theme/7 Three Months of Freedom School's out for the summer! Three months of freedom before school bells ring in the fall best defines summer vacation. Some cruised Broadway or shopped at the Westroads and the Mall or caught some rays in the back yard. Trips were taken . rhirteen students went to Europe, and were chaperoned by Fr. Phil Kruse . "It is still ex citing to think about that opportunity and to look at pictures," said Kruse . l 0/Summe r Vocations Pom-pon and cheerleading squads went to camps at Iowa State University. Seniors Bob Watkins and Eric Petersen went to wrestling camp at Buena Vista, while members of the volleyball team spent a week at the University of Nothem Iowa's Volleyball Camp . Five journalism students signed up for a week-long workshop at Northwest Missouri State University . Juniors Amy Bremmer and Erica Nielsen attended the Iowa Girls' Basketball Camp at Creighton University . At all the camps, students spent several hours working on their areas of interest. "It wa s beneficial. It's good to get back in wrestling over the summer when you start to miss it," said Petersen . Most camp activities ran from 8: 00-5 :00 p .m . Volleyball players wo r k ed from 8-5 and then we nt hom e to their host families and spent their evenings with them . Bremmer and Nielsen spent their time learning new skills and realizing the meaning of sportsmanship . • ,_ Michael Platt shows off his fa vorite transportation device - his m oped .

Summer Vacations/ 11 An Elite Group With a Touch of Daring While most people prefer Burger King, going to parties and watching movies on weekends, another group would rather sit in parking lots - waiting for a challenge to race and cruise Broadway - racing up and down the streets. Many people call them Parking Lot Logs or cruisers, but they think of thems!'?lves as an elite group. "It's like a hobby - to be faster than everyone else, to accept every challenge and to take that challenge as if it was your last one," 14/Cruise rs said seniors Don Hoffman and Tom Allmon. Along with racing comes a lot of responsibility. The upkeep of the car - the tires, engines, and gas - usually has the person in debt or nearly being broke, but it does have its advantages. Junior Phil Gillett said, "I made a$ l 000 when I sold my 70 Chevelle . I sold it for $3,900 and bought it for $2,900. I hope to buy a nicer car in the spring - twice as fast." Another responsibility of the race is the sa fety of others not directly involved. Most races take place on a deserted road or interstate - away from public travel. Many people wonder why they do it. " Because it is a natural high.

"Get out of town? Weekends? Fo r tne, there's no special time . My weekends last 7 days a week," said senior Karl Birusingh. Students at St . Albert de f ine "weekend" in different ways. For some, it means 48 hours of nonstop parties. To others, it means several hours on the job . Anyway you look at it, a weekend is a time to have fun . "Weekend is a time to forget about school and just ha ve fun with your friends, " said junior Anne Olsen. Weekends/ l 7 Activities Alter Hours "Hi! May I help you? . . . Your total is $19.85." Approximately 60 % of S.A. high school students worked part-time during the 1984-85 school year. Many students were in many activities: athletics, clubs, drama, etc. besides having jobs at e same time. Senior Chris Jeffrey said, "I find it very hard to hold my job and be in school, to o. It seems that I work on nights l~/ k when I have a lot of e verything to do." A good deal of organization is needed to succeed at both school and work . Senior Mike Platt do esn't have that problem - he sets his own hours. "I like being custodian a t Salern Methodist Church . . . I can set hours around my school work," said Platt.

Students enjoyed traditional events as Prom, and holiday and record dances, as seniors had Baccalaureate and graduation, but not a senior trip. All students appreciated the seasonal plays, and cast members of the winter production "The Curious Savage" performed at the state group competition after receiving a I (superior) rating at districts. They also performed on their home stage "The Sound of Music," which included junior high students for the first time in some years. Though the number of special events were few, students were grateful for them to break routine weeks and fill spare time preparing for them.

Since the week before, rumors had come out that students might not have a Wild-n-Crazy day or Hawaiian day. Then there was the changing of our theme . First it was, "We're not gonna take it," but when the theme was presented to Dr. A vise and Mr. Jaworski, they rejected it because of the negative tone . So the students had to switch to, "We're so excited." Another main facto r was the damp weather which almost took ove r the whole week, changing the location of the pep rall y, usuall y held outdoors, into the gym. But in spite of all the problems, St. Albert's Homecoming finally came through and after much debate among the student council, the events of the week were organized. Senior boys Sid Edelbrock , Bo b Watkins, Brian Osb o rn e, Mike Raes, Terri O'Grady, Jeff Schmitz, Pet e Book, Mike Petratis, and Dom Catania show style and uniqueness building their pyramid at Thursday night's Pep Rally. The week began with the seventh thro ugh eleventh graders having t heir pictures token, while the seniors arrived we aring green and gold. The students, on Tuesday, went traditional and dressed Wild-n-Crozy. On Octo ber 17, probably the coldest day of the week, students decked out in shorts and sandals for Hawaiian day. Thursday, students tried something new - nerd day, where students exposed their "true" selves. Remember walking down the hall and running into a nerd on a tricycle carrying all his encyclopedias? This undercover nerd was senior Brod Jeffrey. Then later, seeing this man with greased bock hair and realizing it wasn't a man at all but junior Su Niebur. Mr. and Mrs. Nerd were voted on during the day and announced that night at the pep rally. Seniors Mike Fischer and Brod Jeffery were chosen Mr. Nerds and junior Su Niebur was chosen Mrs. Nerd.

At the pep rally, all the events took place except for the showing of the floats . There were traditional games like class pyramid building, obstacle course, and guys (or were they girls?) swimsuit contest. A few new games were added, such as students racing to put on a pile of clothes while blindfolded, and a marshmallow eating contest. Stu· dents seemed to like having the rally in the gym, and, like senior Debbie Brockelsby said, "I liked having it in· side better because it was easier to see and hear things going on." The moment finally arrived when the 1984 Homecoming court, which included seniors Kim Branstetter, Vannessa Hollinger, Gina Jabro, Chris Jeffrey, Jenny Poole, Ellen Sillik, Tom Allmon, Scott Green, Brad Jef· frey, Ken Masker, Tom Oberdin, and Football capta in Brion Osborne glares at junior Sue Hotz's o range hair. Fred Roane was announced. The excitement grew as juniors Vince Rew and Lynne Murray went out on the floor to crown 1984 Queen Ellen Sillik and King Tom Oberdin . "It happened so fast. We were just standing there, and all of a sudden, it was over. It was a real swe ll time," said Oberdin . Friday night was the highlight of the Fa lco n football season. Students packed the bleachers, each with a helium filled green or gold balloon, which was let go after the first St. Albert touchdown . Junior Jean Fo x "wished we could of held on to our balloons longer but was glad S.A. scored within the first minutes of the game ." During halftime of the game, students showed their floats, with the seniors winning "best float " contest, and court was again announced onto the football field.

Moggie A ntrobus (Kate McGinn) reveals the dreaded red stockings worn by her rebel dough28/"Skin of Our T eeth" As superstitions in theatre go, the play that is supposed to curse yo ur show and stage is "Macbeth". Every time this five-act pla y b y Shakespeare is done, it leaves a jin x on the theatre where it is rehearsed and performed . Someone was trying to add to the list of cursed plays at St. Albert where Thornton Wilder's "The Sk in of Our Teeth" was this year's fall production . It seemed unlikely that anyter Gladys (Beth Larsen) t o her asto nished husband, George (Doug Epperson). Gla dys was thing more cou ld go w ro ng d u ring the course of this show. T his play had a cast of o v er t wen ty, w ith about half o f th e a ctors being first-timers . It was hard eno ugh having to teach the ropes to a new bat ch o f ki ds, but midway through rehearsa ls the cast ran into bigger p roblems . Because of a personal probl em wi th the administration, Mike Mulvihill had to be ta k en out of th e sho w . t orn between being lik e her mother o r the urchin Sabino (M ory Jo hnson). Therefore, the rest of the moles in the cast had to be rearranged to fit the po rts. Wit h e ve ryo ne so busy learning new li nes a nd finding new costumes, it was a littl e to ugh getting the set done ; it wasn't done for the final dress rehea rsal, and it still wasn't done for the junior high matinee . Other than a few problems like LuAnn Fox and Beth Larsen losing • their voices and Kori Rohling and Mory Johnson injuring their ankles, the rest of the production went on fairly well. The crowds hod a lot of questions as they filed out. "Why we re they on on ark? What year were they in?" etc . The show was the history of the human race in three acts. It followed the Antrobus family through the invention of the wheel, Coin and Abel, the Ice Age, and the ark in the great flood . Although S.A . hos never done "Macbeth", probably an y cost member will tell you that they've come up with a superstition: Never do "The Skin of our Teeth~" Sabina (Mary Johnson) pleads with M rs. Antrobus (Kate McGinn) to let her go with the family on the ark to escape t he fatal hurricane.

The majority of students and teach ers here ore Catholic, but even though some ore not Catholic, all-schoo l liturgies and even early m o rning mosses in the chapel gi ve everyone the chance to come together as a unified community. Moss is also a time when students ca n get involved, whether it be helping to pion the liturgy, reading petitions, bringing up the Offertory gifts, or just by singing along with the Cho - rus durin g Moss. Many students become more involved in the musical port of Mosses this year by being a member of the newly formed Folk Group.

Approximately eight inches of snow hod blanketed the ground over night. "No school; No dance," Right? . . . Wrong . "Will there still be a Christmas dance?" was the question that remained in people's minds for several hours Friday morning. After many phone calls to Dr. Michael A vise, a decision was still not formalized. Dr. Av ise gave Miss Dione Guill and he r Journalism students permission to make the decision . Late that morning, the decision was fin a lized. There would still be a danc e. Many phone calls were mode and the word got around through friends and radio announcements. After Guill called seve ra l journalism students, the decorations crew was lined up for the afternoon. $90 wo rth of decorations we re torn dow n during the dance, making the decorations unable to be used for next year. Besides t he difficulty over whether to have the dance and the destruction of the decorations, other problems p lagued the dance . Complete Music was a half hour late, and although the photographer's background was up, Jack Holder was late because he had a wedding prior to the dance . During the dance, two cafeteria tables were broken, and Journalism students were held responsible for their repair or replacement. Later, the students who broke the tables confessed which freed Journalism from paying for the damage . Approximately 165 students attended the dance . It was a year of change, thanks to the weather. Journalism students and Guill were happy to have the dance, even though the weather was bad. What seemed to be a Christmas disaster turned out to be true to the dance's theme, "Christmas Paradise ." Seniors Kathy Horan, Jacque Ratigan, and Mary Jo Rya n enjoy a girls' night out. All three came stag to the dance. Students reenact a scene from "Animal House" to the song "Shout," minus the togas. As "Otis" sang more softly, people got closer to the floor. Then, "a little bit louder now" brought them back to jumping and singing .

This scene took place right after the last performance of "The Sound of Music" , this year's spring production . This musical was Holder's last show at St . Albert as well as her last high school pro duction . In her four ye ars of teaching and directing at S.A. , Holder and her drama students had be come very close. "I'm sorry to see Ms. Holder go. She was quite an asset to the St. Albert stage," said junior Theresa Book. For her final production, Holder chose the Rodgers and Hammerstein classic, "The Sound of Music" . The show, set in Salzburg, Austria in the late 1930 's, was based on the true story of the von Trapp family. The father, a retired Navy captain (played by senior Dave Tobias), was reunited with his children by a would-be nun named Maria (played by senior Mary Johnson), who brought music back into their lives. The captain gave up his rich fiance, Baroness Schraeder (played by senior Kate McGinn) and Maria left the convent to the urging of the Mother Abbess (played by junior Laurie Nettles) so that the two Rolf (Jonathan Johnson) discovers Lies! <Barb Osborne) and her family -in -th~ garden as the Captain (Dave Tobias) and Maria (Mary ""-.

Once again Cupid's bows soar through the air. He's a good shot too. This year Valentine's Day was celebrated the usual way here at St. Albert. Everyone was happy and lovesick. You might say everyone was in the pink. Again this year the varsity cheerleaders peddled flowers around the school to students and faculty . The carnations could be purchased for $1 a piece with a message attached to it, just for your sweetheart. A white carnation represented a sincere friendship, pink, an innocent crush, and red the ultimate love. Valentines could also be bought for .50q: . The varsity cheerleaders sold over 900 carnations and numerous valentines. The cheerleaders worked hard that afternoon of February 14th. "I think delivering flowers was a lot of fun, and I'm really going to miss it nex t year," senior cheerleader Donna Stivers said. All of the varsity cheerleaders participated in the flower sale. "I feel it was a lot of hard w ork, but once I saw peoples' faces light up it was well worth it," junior cheerleader Connie Persinger said. Junior Alyce Russell prepares to attach a message to all the carnatio ns. Many people sent a different kind of valentine. They ordered balloonagrams. " I felt surprised and real embarrassed with everyone standing around me. It was a really neat feeling and this year was special for me because I got a balloonagram," senior Paul Steenson said. Kathy and Tom Horan also received balloonagra ms. They were signed by the Toothfairy, act ually the Horan' s mother. For now, it's time t o put away the red hearts for your f unny little valent ine.

Thoughts of fun in the sun ran through the minds of several seniors as they planned a senior skip day. Although some seniors planned separate activities, the majority of the class congregated at McDonald's for a hearty breakfast. From there they made a quick stop for refreshments and convoyed onward, led by senior Brad Jeffrey, for a day at the ---- lake . Upon arriving at Manawa, the group enjoyed themselves by playing football, frisbee, and even taking a dip in the ice cold water. The seniors also did their best at "soaking up the rays" and worrying about nothing more than having fun . For the S.A. seniors, their skip day wa s a ve ry positive thing . The atmosphe re wa s relaxed and open a s a ll cliques disappe ared and the class be- c ame whole again. "I had a great time! It was a chance for me to talk to classmates who I don't usually see during a school day," said senior Denise White. Those who remained at school did so fo r various reasons. Some stayed because of extracurricular commitments, othe rs stayed to insure no further hassles from the administration. "I was u nsure of what punishment would be - I heard everything from seven detentions to probation. Since I am in track I decided it wasn't worth it, because two unexcused absences means you're off the team," said senior Ken Masker. As for the day itself, tension between seniors and administration mounted, as everyone knew that the school bo.und seniors would either leave, or want to anyway.

"Jungle Love" Prom Court 1985. 44/ Prom The gym was transformed into a tropical jungle with palm trees and huts. A rainbow made out of balloons, streamers hanging from the ceiling, and murals along the bleachers helped to bring out the theme of the 1985 prom, "Jungle Love" . "I wish we'd had more time to decorate, but it turned out better than I thought it would," said junior class officer Gigi Varner. The band, Red Ball Jets, was hired for $800. People's o p inions of the band differed. "I thought the band was good but they too k too many breaks and didn't play enough of today's music . I wish they would have played our theme song, "Can't Fight This Feeling" (by R.E.O . Speedwagon). It would of made prom a lot more special," said junior Anne He nderson. Senior Brian Osborne said, " It was an all-right, all-around prom, except the band left something to be desire d ." The l 985 Prom Court consisted of seniors Gina Jabro, Ellen Sillik, Chris Jeffrey, Ken Masker, Fred Roane and Tom Oberdin. The juniors on court were Maria Papazian, Kim Mauer, Lynne Murray, Rex Romano, Fred Grot e and Vine~ Rew. Coronation was at 10:30 and Gina Jabro and Ken M asker were crowned Queen and King. "Being on court alone was neat, but when I got queen - now I'll always have something to remember my senior prom by," said Gina Jabro. Ken Masker said, "I was real surprised about being crowned king. It was something I'll never forget." After prom, most of the juniors and seniors went bowling and skating. "It (prom) was an experience, expecially going skating, 'catching the dots'!" said junior Lynne Murray. Roller skating may have been fun but it proved that it could be dangerous. Senior Brad Jeffrey chipped his teeth in a collision with fellow skater senior Tom McVey. "Roller Derby was a blast, with or without teeth," said Jeffrey. All in all, Prom 1985 was an exciting night, and a lot more than just a formal dance. Couples enjoy the festive music of "The Red Ball Jets".

The order was no different than past graduations, the emotions were the same as any group of young men and women going out into the world; but the individuals within that group of 77 were each outstandin g in his/ her own way. To prove their uniqueness, the class of '85 wanted their ceremony differ- ent - so they planned accordingly.

Sr. Jude Fitzpatrick, the new superintendent of schools in the dio cese, ga ve her remarks for the first tim e at on S.A. graduation . Thre e seniors were top scholars in the class, so instead of separate Valedictorian and Salutatorian speeches, the three Valedictorians gave a combined talk about the years the class spent together. The music was semi-traditional - Pomp and Circumstance for the processional, yet a special drum solo during the song "Lady Madonna" (instead of the 1812 Overture) by senior Pot Pursell, and a recessional which surprised everyone e x pecting another band tune . In their last decision as a class, the seniors voted to hove a Kenny Loggins song played - "This Is It" - in place of the Morch Lamar as they walked out of the gym as alumni. After diplomas were presented, Dr. A vise gave the female Graduation/ 49 and male Spirit of St. Albert Award. This is perhaps the greatest honor for a graduating senior, as it is voted on by the class only . The recipients represent those who have given the most of themselves in symbolizing the best qualities of the class. This year's winners were Terry O'Grady and Barb Simon. SO/ Graduatio n Fr.

These conditions led to seniors searching all morning with their pleas for donors. Amid t hose cancellations and def errals, however, biology teacher T erry Dolnic ek happily rolled up his sleeve for a pint donation, making him a five gallon lifetim e donor. Giving blood is an honorable service . There are always those in need of it . It isn't costly. It's anonymous giving, and it usually leaves donors feeling good about themselves.

Student Council Important Link This year the Student Council has done quite a number of things. It was in charge of homecoming and all its related activities, including the pep rally and dance . For Teacher Appreciation Day, it bought a cake which was given to the faculty at the end of the day. Student Co uncil has been and always will be an important link between students and faculty in order to get things accomplished. If problems should arise during the school yea r, the y would be brought before the council and most of the time action wo uld be taken and the problem solved. President, Vice-President, Secreta ry, and Treasurer of each class we re voted on at the end of last school year and the two Representatives were voted on at the beginning of this ye ar. There are six students on the council from eve ry class, a nd the advisor, Wayne Maclearn, schedules meetings throughout the year to de cide on various matters with them.

Induction ceremony undergoes change March 27 brought with it unseasonable sunshine and a spring dressup day for the annual NHS inductions, a time-honored traditional day that diverted much from its familiar patterns. Firstly, the NHS induction ceremony was closed to the viewing of the entire student body and faculty, and was instead held privately, amid varied controversy. Secondly, t he chapel hosted the aft ernoon ceremony, honed into a prayer service blessed by Fr. Kruse . In previous years the ceremony was held in the gym. Still more changes : members were tapped in by senior members in the morning with the presentation of a carnation in their first period classes, instead of at the actual ceremony. Also, parents were not escort ed; they were already seated and wat ched the procession of inductees. Other NHS activities were the senior-faculty volleyball game, Leadership Doy, and sponsoring a $100 scholarship t o a college-bound graduating senior which was awarded to Shelly Corb aley.

"When I reali zed that SA hadn't maintained its charter with Q. and S., I was shock ed , an d ofter several letters to the secretory of Q . and S. and after filling out se veral form s, SA was reinstated," said Dione Guill, journalism advisor. A student must be in t he upper one-third of his class and be nominated by t he journ alism advisor. SA' s first members were initiated on Dec . 3 .

With an elevenmember Chorus this year, this motto stands out perfectly clear! The year started off on a go od note as the Music Department broke in a new choral and band director, Mr. George Kipple y, former instrumental director at Northwest High School in Omaha . "I love being able to work with quality kids, e xciting music, and an administration that cares," Kippley said . As the school year kicked off, the students and Kippley chose new music, and following tradi tio n, Chorus sang at school masses. Singing at the annual Open House was a new pe rformin g experience. On Dec. 16, the Christmas Concert went underway and was a big success. " I must say that this ye ar's Christmas Concert was the best we've ever had," said junior Theresa Book. With this year's concentration on dynamics, harmony, and singing in different languages, Chorus students had a better a nd more positive attitude toward their ma ny performances. Throughout the year, students were kept busy getting ready for co ncerts, clinics, or the State Music Contest.

"I thought the whole expe rience was exciting. It was a nice break from classes. The sections on anatomy and sports medicine were the most interesting. It was too bad that our pace was fast - there was too much to see," said Grote . Math department head Ms. Caroline Swartz received help from student teacher Pat Snook, a 1980 St. Albert graduate . He taught certain classes and assisted with others during January and February. Freshmen Jon Johnson, Chuck Thorn, and Joe Turn er perform an experiment in Physical Science.

Those three students were Barb Simon, Doug Epperson, and LuAnn Fox. The enrollment for Spanish I and II has also greatly increased in the past two years, according to Mrs. Kathy Thomsen. The 1984-85 Journalism class consisted of 22 students who worked to put out si x newspapers, instead of four that were put out in past years, and completed 50 more pages for the yearbook . The additio n enlarged the book to 194 pages, making this the largest yearbook St. Albert has ever had. The week of March 4-8, during Newspaper In Educatio n Week, they had guest speakers every day. Catherine Joyner from CBS channel 6 ended the week by discussing her careers with them. To add to the working atmosphere, the journalism students hung all of their awards on the walls for others to see. They also decorated the skylights with colorful outlines of subjects important to them. Drama class consisted of 30 students this year. It seemed like a normal sized class but had a 9-1 ratio: nine girls to every one boy. "Since there were only three boys in our class, with 27 girls, it was kind of embarrassing to do 'make-up' in front of everyone!" said freshman Jon Larsen. In the area of speech, the transition from taking speech as sophomores to taking it as freshmen was made. Although students did the traditional speech assignments, they used their originality to make them seem different. Tina DeChant brought her ShihTzu dog named Sumi to demonstrate proper grooming.

After they arri ved at one court room it seemed it was time to leave, but on the way up stairs to another court room the elevator stopped between floors which stra nded the class of 16 students for 45 mi nutes.

I really enjoyed law in college and I think that it is very interesting course to teach," said Colpitts. The typing classes are learning word processing. But typing classes aren't the only ones on the computers; there is also the Data Processing class which had a new instructor this year, Scott Belt. The Data Processing class learned how to create and run programs, word processing and many other skills that wi ll be helpful. Steve Hansen stated "It's one fun time after another" .

But some people just didn't take the time to notice how much the S.A. Guidance and Library departments have improved. This year the library has five new computers and had new tables and hairs. People also donated some used books over the summer, and some new books and a new paperback rack were added to the library. Librarian Mrs. Maryann Angeroth was pleased to see that more students took library science this year than eve r before . Besides th e improvements of this year, "the outlook for ne xt year looks goo d as well with the expecta nce of a new movi e p rojector, another new computer, a nd a new video tape machine," said Ange roth . A sofa, two chairs, tables a nd lamps were donated to the lib rary along with some hanging plants whic h h e lped to divide the table area fro m the bo o kshelves. Aside fro m th e library, the Guidan ce dep artment also did well. The school rece iv e d a $300.00 computer disc for the library's computer about various colleges and jobs. This ye ar also brought a great number o f seniors applying for college, for the class of 1985 was one of S.A.'s top-ranked classes.

In P.E. classes, bowling was added to the many · different activities that the students participate in. "It was fun . I really enjoyed going bowling because it was something different to do in P.E.," said junior Lori Phelps. The girls did such activities as field hock ey, archery, flog football, soccer, softball and of course, physical fitness tests . On the other hand, boys played football, softball, basketball, wrestling , volle yball, weight lifting and conditioning and archery. " Guys do a good job of participating. They enjoy being in it. We try to open the gym to seniors in study hall this year," said P.E. teacher Marshall Schichilone. Senior Denise W hite lines up her ball on the arrows and lets it loose.

While the upperclassmen were busy with their Bunsen burners, sophomores from St. Albert were being intraduced to the world of stop signs, signals, and the simulator in Driver Education classes. At the start of each semester a new crop of soon-to-be-liscensed drivers was subjected to the instructions of such memorable teachers as Mr. Worley, Mr. Forbes, and Mr. Stull. Taking a minute to get set far Calculus is senior Brad Jeffrey, while senior Denise White spends her time socializing. Dan Shaver's favorite part of Driver's Ed is spent in the simulator.

The Falcons used a stifling defense and a mistake free offense to post a 3 1-0 win and ra ise their record to 7-0. To most people , including the players, it was a surprise to be undefe a t ed after seven games. Lewis Central, Lemars, and Boystown were the first three games on the schedule, and all of them were tough . The ne xt fo ur games were Falcon wins. Then came their regular season finale against A.L.

Watching these outstanding, dedicated athletes was a team of smaller talent and fame, but equal in dedication. One week after the U.S. lost to China in the gold medal round to claim the silver, the Saint Albert Saintes started two-a-day workouts. Like last year, the Saintes and coach Kate Witte began official practi ces of condit ioning and drills one week before school started. Even before this, many varsity players prepared by going to camps during the summer. Three sophomores and five seniors w ent to week-long camps at the University of N orthern Iow a in July.

Well, Cooch John Shorey said, "It was another fun and memorable season . Both squads showed a lot of improvement and reached their potentia 1." These ore pretty modest statements considering he coached the best girls' team in Southwest Iowa and a promising young boys' team. The Falcons lost their top three runners to graduation, another to moving awa y, and were left with just two runners with varsity experience, only one of which was a letterman. Late in September, that letterman, sophomore Dan Simon, was lo st to a leg injury. Th e varsity was now down to freshman Tim Shea, sophomores Ken Fox and Ron Marshall, juniors Fred Grote and Ron Barszcz, usually finishing in that order.

In the background the buzzer sounded . At last the ball f ell through the hoop . Players jumped for joy; yet the prevailing feeling in the gym that night was dejection. Once again the Falcons had managed to lose a close ga me that could have easily been a win. This game happened to be a loss to Missouri Valley on a last second shot. Steve Plummer said, "We had a tendency to play down to the level of the opposition." This could possibly be attributed to the lack of experience on the team. Only fou r seniors were on the roste r: Plummer, Gene Cannon, Jack Smith and Paul St eenson, and of those only Plummer had seen any extensive varsity action. This gave ma ny of the younger players a lot of playing time . The t eam finished with an 8-12 record and lost to Red Oak in the first round of the play-offs for the third year in a row. But juniors Ed McGill and Jeff Shudak and sophomores Mark Heenan and La rry Ratigan saw a great deal of court action during the year.

The junior birds flew to a 14-0 record. Sophomores Dan Poole and John O'Connor led the team in scoring while Ron Marshall and Ken Fox led the war under the boards. Even with this talent the team couldn't have reached such heights without sixth man Kevin McGinn. Only once were the Falcons seriously tested during the sea son - that being in a contest against Fr.

Youth Doesn1 t 1 Break 1 Saintes With the resignation of assistant coach John Dalton in '84, three seniors, five lettermen, and one starter returning, and sophomores playing a large role in the season, the girls' basketball JV and varsity knew this season w ould be very different. Thrown in for added excitement was the games that would be played with 5-on-5 rules . Tom Lazure who in '84 was a junior high coach, ' came out of his short "retirement" to assume Dalton's position. A hard schedule, new coach, and little experience worked against t hem. But they never gave up. Inexperience needs only ex perience to cure itself, and t he Saintes took their lumps - winning only 2 of 22 games. One highlight of the season was a victory over Glenwood and a chance t o play in Vets' Auditorium, the site of the state tournament. With their hard work and determinat ion, the t eam matured - only to find itself playing its best games against e x cellent t ea ms - Harlan, Kuemper, and a 5-on-5 contest with Elkhorn.

JVers struggled this year, as many of the members of last year's 9-2 frosh team played on the varsity, leaving small numbers o n the JV. Some JV Saintes also were playing "halfsies" - part-time JV and parttime varsity. This usua lly meant do uble practices, and two ga mes.

The season started out with new Varsity and freshmen squads, but no J.V. squad. Why the change? There weren't enough girls that tried out to fill the positions of an eight girl J.V. squad and a twelve girl varsity squad. The decision was made to eliminate the J.V. squad and include the top ranking sophomore in the Varsity squad. Another change was starting out the year with a new sponsor, Mrs. Marilyn Leggio. Leggio brought with her many new changes and ideas. Leggio said, "I wish I had more time to devote to my job as sponsor. I feel a lot of changes are needed, and after working with it for a year, I feel the time is rig ht to make these changes." Early in the school year came senior captain Denise White's resignation, senior Donna Stivers was moved up to the captain's position and junior Cyndy Berriman was put in as co-captain. Alternate Anne Olsen replaced Den ise White . During the winter season came three more resignations, those of Mary Brotherton, Anne Olsen,,and Shell y Sondag. "Being a Varsity cheerleader is so much different than cheering m y freshman and J.V. years . It's so much different leading the crowd than just being one of the crowd. And even though we hit some rough spots, we pulled together," said junior Cyndy Berriman. Cheerleading/ l 15 116/ Pom Pon The squad shows its uniformity in perfecting another formation.

This year's Porn-Pon squad started their season with not only new members, but also a much awaited new uniform and a new sponsor, Miss Joan Green . After seven weeks of practice at the Worship Center the dedication and hard work of the pommers paid off. Their routine to "Head o ver Heels" was judged best at the NCA Porn-Pon Camp held in August at Iowa State University. Thirty pom-pon squads tota lin g 300 girls fro m throughout the state of Iowa competed for awards and trophies while the y le arne d new individua l and team ro utines.

Broken records Track • • • a • 1ump ahead The SA girls' and boys' track teams were a jump above everyone else this season, with sophomore Ken Fox setting a new school high jump record with a jump of 6' 4 V2" and freshman Terra Geiger setting a Shenandoah meet record of 5'3" in the high jump. Geiger was not the only Sainte setting records this season, howe ver. Senior Denise White broke the school l 00 meter hurdle s in a time of 15 .85 seconds, then classmate Chris Jeffrey broke it again, in 15.76.

But the highlight of the season was sending Ken Fox in the high jump and the 440 relay team of Scott Green, Vince Rew, Chris Fischer, and Rex Romano to Drake Relays in Des Moines. Although the Falcons did not place, the 440 relay team had a time of 46 .0, and Fox jumped 6'3". "It seems all the other teams were a lot tougher all around this year compared to last year," said junior Rex Romano. The state meet marked the culmi - nation of the track seasons, as both teams sent their qualifying members from districts - the Saintes on May 24 and 25, and the Falcons a week later. Geiger held the girls' best showing at state with a third place finish in the high jump, while Leggio was the top qualifier, enabling 'herself to be in three e vents . While Jeffrey qualified for state in the open l 00 hurdles, she didn't make the finals. Among the teams that made the trip were: the two m ile relay ( Stephanie Keefe, Barb Osborne, Jean Sillik, and Leggio); the district-winnin g m ile relay (Keefe, Smith, Joelle Corbaley, and Leggio) who placed seventh; and the shuttle hurdle relay, also placing seventh. On her own, Leggio finished eighth in her district-winning open 800 run. The guys sent the two mile relay team (Tom Martin, Dom Catania, Mike Fischer, and Ken Masker) who placed fifth in state, and district win - ners Green, Romano, Ter ry O'Grady, and Rew for the 880 relay, which placed seventh.

There were also many more younger girls on the JV, but most of their matches were rained out. Boys' tennis continued to grow not only in experience but also in size . 1985 is the first year under head coach Sterling West that S.A . was able to have a complete JV team.

Will the real Matt Johnson please stand up? This is the story of Matt Johnson, I mean, Matt Johnson, I mean Matt Johnson the sophomore, not the freshman. Johnson ( 1 0) is a student here at St. Albert. His full name is Matthew Micheal Johnson. The other Johnson is also a student here. He is a Freshman. His full name is Mathew Craig Johnson. The name Johnson is a real common one. It probably always will be . The name Matthew is Biblical, so it is also common. Although it is ironic that the two names are put together, and the two students are t o gether in the same school. This is real confusing sometimes. For ex ample, even the attendance list can get complicated. " Somet imes if Mrs. Johnson calls in for her son and we forget to 132/ Features ask which Johnson, we have to hunt the name down so we can print it correctly on the attendance list," Lois Hemmingsen said . Could you imagine the confusion it would be, if you thought you heard someone talking about you; but it really wasn't you . "I overheard how much this ugly girl liked me and I did everything to avoid her. I was really embarrassed and relieved to find out that it was the other Matt Johnson," Johnson ( 10) said . One of Johnson's ( 1 0) hobbies is playing baseball . Well, this is true for Johnson (9) too. In fact they ended up on the same team one spring. "The coach would yell, 'Johnson up on deck,' and we'd both stand up," Johnson ( 10) said . Students Today; Servicemen Tomorrow After high school, everyone hopes to "be all that they can be." Three seniors at St. Albert, though, plan to take that advertising slogan seriously. During the summer of '85', Mike Platt, Tony Goeser, and Joe Shaver will each leave to go to his assigned place for basic training in one of the military services. Platt will leave for Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Tex as, on July 9, for basic training . He will be there for six weeks and then go to Kessler Air Force Base in Biloxi, Mississippi, for twelve weeks of tech school. Goeser, who is already participating in some Marine activities on the weekends, will leave for basic training in San Diego, California, sometime after graduation. He will be with the Brovo-Fox Company which is a motor transport troop. The Navy is where Shaver has chosen to spend his nex t eight years after graduation. He will leave for basic training in the Great Lakes of Michigan sometime in mid-September. All three men have their reasons for joining the services and leaving their lives and families in Council Bluffs . Platt claims his interest in the Air Force is due largely from his dad's influence. He is an Air Force veteran. Goeser was also influenced by his family . His brother is a Marine, but Goeser has also been involved with them for many years and knows that joining is the right step for him to tak e. "I didn't want to go to coll ege so I jo ined the Navy," said Shaver. Pre-M atch rituals motivates Allmon As the clock approaches thirty seconds in the second period of the one hundred and thirty-eight pound match, senior Tom Allmon, dressed in black sweats and a Mickey Mouse shirt, begins his warm-up. Stretching, wetting down his body, having his upper body joints cracked by his brother Dave Porter and mental preparation begins the many of Allmon's superstitions . Within thirty seconds of the one hundred and fifty-five pound match, Allmon, with his pink socks and green knee pad half off his left k nee, kneels and begins to pray. His name is called . He waits at the edge of the mat until his opponent steps on first. They approach the inner circle and he waits for his opponent to designate himself first. The referee says "shak e hands" and Allmon does so without glancing up . He then begins what can be called his 'technique' that has led him to be a two-time state qualifier in High School Division 2A. "I' m a very superstitious wrestler. My superstitions mean nothing to anybody else but me . The superstition that I believe in most is not actually a superstition - it's my belief in God," said Allmon . Allmon has been wrestling since he's been in the 5th grade . He took first in state freestyle in the summer of his sophomore year. This qualified him for a Zone Tournament. It consisted of the top two wrestlers of five area states competing against one another in which he placed second. At St . Albert, Allmon comprised a rec o rd of 65- l 3 on the varsity level. H e was a three ye ar letter w inner and as a senior, was captain of the wrestling team . He w as a two-time Centenni a l Conference Champ and p laced in the t o p three of every tournament as a varsity grappler. H e went o n and placed first both his junior and senior year at the sectional and district meet. "The kid I wrestled when I was a senior at districts was 27-1 and he already beat me in the Audobon Tournament. My record was only 23-3 and I beat him 7-4. It was the best match of my high school career," said Allmon . At the state tournament in Des Moines, Allmon, as a junior, was pinned in first round action. His senior year, he advanced to the second round where he was beaten . He missed a wrestleback when in the closing seconds of the match, McEowen from Cedar Rapids LaSalle (the wrestler who defeated Allmon) was taken down and gave up the match winning points to a three-time state place winner. Throughout Allmon's high school wrestling career, most of his technique and mental training were done through home training with his older brother, Tony . During his junior year, assistant coach Tim Pierson worked with him individually and taught him the attitude and the aggression for winning - not 1osing. " He taught me to be the mental t ype of wrestler that doesn't accept defeat," said Allmon . During his senior year, Tony went away to college and Pierson left for the marines. "My biggest mental barrier this year was not having Tony and Tim there . It affected me the whole season e x cept at the end when at least one, T o ny, was there," said Allmon . After graduation, Allmon plans to wrestle at University of Nebraska at Omaha and go into the field of criminal justice. His goal is t o be an AllAmerican (top eight in the nation) in Division II. "It's hard lea v ing high school's closeness of at hletics and go ing t o a school you don't even k now. Coach Denn y has m ade m e aware of what U .N .O . consist s of and what I have t o achieve and accom - plish alo ng wit h my person al goals," said Allmon. Features/ 133 F R E s A Freshman In Blue H M E What do you tell a kid who stands five feet tall, weighs 75 pounds and is sick of getting picked on by the class bullies? This is a question that the parents of freshman Hank Straka had to think about. They felt that something along the lines of self-defense might be the answer. The next thing he knew, Straka was enrolled in a judo class sponsored by the Council Bluffs J udo Association . His instructor, Lou Carta, got Straka started and inspired him, as Carta was a blackbelt himself. Straka started as a white belt like everyone else; being low man on the totem pole isn't easy! The belt ran ks vary in colo rs as the person progresses in judo . In order to move up to a higher belt, a person must earn ten degrees. Degrees are earned by how well a person performs in tournaments and other matches. After a person has earned enough degrees to advance, he must take a fourpage, 300-400-question test. Straka spends many hours studying judo books to learn the correct spelling and pronunciation of the Japanese words for each throw. For e xample, "mata" means "stop", "laganae" means "go", and "sienogie" N I 1----1 ------- Kat hy A lfers M ory Becker Andy Berner Koren Birusingh Mork Brisso I I I Matt Buchanan Jenny Buckley Ben Butterfield Barb Carlin Cheryl Carlson I I I Dennis Christiansen Kevin Claussen Trisha Corbaley John Crowley Jeanne Dalton 136/Freshmen I I I Sean Davis Tin a DeChant Dan Disalvo Jason Engler Becky Ficek '- [ describes the type of throw being executed. As one can see, memorizing words that can't even be pronounced wouldn't be easy. Over the past two years, Straka has participated in several tournaments in Iowa . Among the places he has gone are Waterloo, Des Moines, Norfolk, and Sioux City. The tournaments are usually every week to two weeks. Straka competes against five or six opponents in every tourney. The mat used is official wrestling size, and there is usually more than one match going on at a time. All in all, Straka feels that getting involved in judo has been a great learning experience. He's learned to defend himself, and he has learned a lot about self-discipline . He especially likes judo because it is one sport that doesn't require size or strength to win; just coordination, quickness, and cunning. Straka would like to win sectionals in Des Moines and bring home a first-place trophy in his class . Later, Straka would like to teach and coach judo. Since he is a blue belt already, Straka seems to be well on his wa y to reaching his goals.

This is how the dictionary defines spirit. There is a group of students here at $.A. fitting this definition to the fullest. It's the sophomore class of 1987, who this past basketball season proved how much spirit "we" have . Take the junior varsity game vs. Father Fla~agan, a double overtime thriller that had the crowd on its feet most of the game. Another good example is all of the pep rallies where almost all of the boys are standing all of the time and the girls some of the time . The band plays a big factor in the spirit. Chris Fischer said of them, "The band played a major role in increasing the enthusiasm of the fans. We ' d like them to play at every game ." This was especially true toward the end of the season when the band, led by George Kippley, developed the "Indian Cheer" in which the crowd would erupt with whoops and yells and pound on the bleachers.

It developed into Hawaii night but encountered some opposition from administration on the style of dress. Bill Smyth said, "On Hawaiian night, anything should be o .k." Another incident was a pep rally in which the bo1s were standing and being enthusiastic when Mr. Jaworski asked them to sit down. Sports is not the only area where much spirit and togetherness is displayed. At plays, you will always see a sophomore in the crowd. There was a good deal of support shown for the five members of the class who were inducted in NHS. So what is the reason for all of th is rowdiness and enthusiasm? One would have to say the reason for it is we just want to have fun . Perhaps that gets out of hand at times though . Several teachers feel they should keep the loudness on the court and out of the classroom. So next year, at a football or volleyball or basketball game, you hear some loud cheering, chances are it will be the "juniors" .

I 0 REarly in the 1984 school year, I transferred to Thomas Jefferson. In case you're all wondering what it was like, T.J. was quite different from St. Albert. For one fhing, the size of the student body was gigantic compared to that of S.A. When I first went there, I had the hardest time learning my way around . I don't know how many times I went to the corner to wait for a bus, S Teresa Andress Ron Barszcz Susi Bartholomew Cyndy Berriman Kamala Birusingh 144/ Juniors I 11 Kelly Blum Theresa Book Amy Bremmer Jeanette Burke Fil Catania I I I Lisa Claussen Korey Culjat Tom Danala Tom Eberhard Dale Fischer I I I Jean Fox John Francis Jim Freeman Amy Geier Tonia Geiger when actually I only live seven blocks from T.J. Next came the decision of what to wear to school each day. It wasn't like putting on a plaid skirt was normal there . I soon got used to blue jeans and tennis shoes. Probably the biggest adjustment I had to make was the way I talked. I had to change my sarcastic attitude . I remember one day I said, "I'm lookin' real cute today," and a girl next to me called me conceited . It took awhile for me to get used to the students, but I think it took even longer for them to get used to me . When I began to feel comfortable, I I I school was a lot of fun . I enjoyed class time . There wasn't anyone to make fun of me, we all made fun together. This is an experience I will long remember, simply because I learned from it. I thought the people there would be real low lifes, but I was wrong. No matter what kind of person you are, you have good qualities and bad ones. When my dad found out that I had transferred, he was absolutely furious. He swore he'd never forgive me. Eventually I think he did. Many people think highly of S.A., and my dad is one of them. He says you can't get a better education and the staff is e xcellent. He's right as usual. I was aware of my parents' disappointment so I promised to come back. I don't know how most people felt when I left S.A., but I found out who my true friends were when I returned. I met a lot of terrific people at T.J. It's nice to have friends at both schools. When I went to T.J., I had mostly laughs and good times. What's more important, a good education or a good time? Academics is the main issue of school and, for me, it's easier to concentrate at S.A. T.J. did teach me a variety of things.

This year, for one particular senior, that decision has been exceptionally tough. For practically all of his life, Andy Fischer has wanted to be a farmer. His father, his father's father·and everyone else down the line has lived the farm, life. "I've always thought of farming as the best way to live and the best way to raise a family," said Fischer about his future occupation. Fischer has decided to attend Northwest Missouri State University this fall to study for two years. If things get worse with the farm crisis, he can always go two more years and study something else . After his first two years are completed, Fischer would like to return to the Neola area and rent land close to his dad's and his brothers' property . This way they can share machinery and keep his debt smaller. After visiting his banker, Fischer decided to rent about 400 acres of land to spread out his debt. He will have to borrow $80,000 just to get the crop in the ground. This loan will have to be paid off in one year. After that, Fischer will need his own machinery, but he can finance that for three years. "It's a big risk, but if you don't risk losing it all you don't get the chance of getting it all," replied Fischer when asked if he was afraid of losing the money. "It is frightening knowing that the weather could ruin the whole crop and set me back $80,000," said Fischer. As one can imagine, the farm life is 148/Seniors not an easy one. Sometimes a farmer has to work 24 hours a day just to get a crop out; he might not be able to see his family for days. Studies have shown that farming is the most stressful occupation there is. Fischer believes that even though the job is rough and a lot of time goes into it, it's still worth it. He believes that there is nothing better than the outdoors and a good piece of land. "I'm not going to think 'if'. There are a lot of things in the U .S. that people don't need, but they will aways need food," said Fischer when asked about the current farm crisis.

Seniors/ 157 Hours Outside the Classroom Hectic schedules, missed dinners, extra hours in college, workshops, and camps, and not seeing the family are only some of the many difficulties encountered by many S.A . teachers. Besides preparing for classes, correcting papers, and helping students after class, many members of the S.A. faculty put in time to help with the many extracurricular activities of their students. One may wonder why these teachers choose to become involved rathGiving a little extra er tha n just go home a nd take it easy aft er at least an ei g h t h our day. " There are so many sports at S.A. tha t I think that the te achers should take their part in coaching t hem," said Virgie Oatman, "I also enjoy volleyball. I like watching it and pla ying it myself," she added. One teacher felt that participation in extracurriculars was ... "part of the job and an outlet for me," said Terry Dolnicek. "If I had to spend all my time in the classroom, I wouldn't Wiley Brings Lile Experiences Into Classroom You've got to give a person credit for standing up in front of some 500 teachers, parents, and students and saying, "I am an alcoholic, I want you to know, and I really need your support." This was a statement heard by every St. Albert student on November 2 at this year's annual retreat. Ever since that day, Kris Wiley has brought her disease into the classroom. She wants to make sure that her students are properly and honestly informed about alcoholism and its effects. If you've ever been in one of Ms. Wiley's classes, you might have heard her story, or her "drunk story," a s it is called by Alcoholics Anonymous. It is the story of how Wiley's problem st arte d and the courage, patience a nd help it took to get her problem under control. Wiley started drin king whe n she was 13-years-old. Her o lder sister 158/Foculty bought the booze for her. By her junior year, Wiley was drinking excessively every Friday and Saturday night. She never realized that her behavior was unusual and could grow into something that could get out of control. Just after the start of her junior year, Wiley decided that alcohol wasn't enough. She experimented with pot and speed, but they became expensive and a near fatal car accident made her think twice about the "harder drugs". By the middle of her first year in college, Wiley had to drop a course because partying outweighed her studying and she wasn't willing to give up the "good times" . Soon after the start of her junior year in college, Wiley tripped into a religious kick. She knew that the way she was drinking was wrong and hone stly thought she co uld sto p . But as she found out, it isn't always tha t easy and she began drinking once again. This time she was only drinking every one or two weeks. As Wiley later learned, it's not how often you drink, but it's how much and how much you feel you NEED to drink . After college, Wiley decided that the convent was what she wanted. She drank there, too, and so did every one else but not quite as much. Every time there was a social gathering, Wiley always seemed to be the one to supply the liquor. Later she wondered why none of her friends inquired about her drinking habits or tried to get her to slow down . Wiley stayed in the convent for about four years. She decided that she really wanted to do God's work but maybe in a different way. It was t hen that she moved to Nebraska . Omaha didn't have the answers e ithe r. Her life seemed to be slowly " becoming a void," nothing seemed be in education. After all, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," he added. Mr Sherbo agreed that coaching was an added attraction of the job. "When coaching, if you teach someone to do something there is an immediate feedback; you know right away if you've done it right." He also feels . . . "let down when the season is over; there is no longer anything to look forward to. Teaching requires Years before results can be seen; to matter or have any importance. In July of 84, Wiley, with the encouragement of a close friend, decided to be evaluated at the Eppley Alcoholic Treatment Center to find out if she really was an alcoholic. All that she was asked was a simple 30 yes or no test. Then it was made very clear. "Yes, Kris Wiley, you are an alcoholic, and yes, you do need help ." It might not sound like much, but it was a very big step towards sobriety for Wiley. In August, Wiley began her alcoholic treatment. This consisted of five times a week meetings for nine weeks with Alcoholics Anonymous. A lot of talking, crying, and listening went into those nine weeks, and Wiley is still attending meetings for support and for people to talk to who really understand. That is Kris Wiley's "drunk story". But that isn't the end of the story. There never really is an end. She'll still have to keep on coping with the problems that come her way and keep living just one day at a time . "Be honest with yourself. Listen to your friends. They know your drinking beha vior better than you ever ca n. Accept their advice - they'll help yo u more than anyone can if you only le t THEM be honest," said once in a while you need an immediate result for your own belief in yourself," Sherbo said. Apparent or not, teachers do enjoy students as people. "NHS gives me a chance to work with students outside of academics and to get to know them better," said Caroline Swartz. The answer which prevailed was the genuine enjoyment that teachers receive from being around kids. Jim DeMott summed it up, "I enjoy working with kids; I get a kick out of it!" Wiley. So there you have it. One person's story. Take from this story what you need, and be thankful for the people Mike Kavars thinks, "It is important that the faculty is represented at extra curricular activities. I think the kids appreciate it." And some students did as junior Karl Rohling said, "It's reassuring to know that the people who our parents put their trust in for our education have enough interest and concern for us to support us in our extra curricular activities." at St. Albert who care enough to give a little more of themselves to try and help us avoid the problems that they couldn't . ..

Faculty/ 161 New faces in the same old places 162/ Administration 1984-85 school year has brought new faces in the same old places at S.A. With the resignation of Pat Lackowski and Greg Logsdon, Dr. Michael Avise and Mr. Anthony Jaworski were brought in to pick up the pieces as our new principal and vice-principal respectively . A graduate from Dowling High School in Des Moines, Dr. Avise earned his B.A. and M .A. at Loras College in Dubuque, and his doctorate at Drake University. Prior to comDr. Michael Avise jots down another idea on his yellow legal pad. The yellow legal pad being to St. Albert, he was principal at De x field Junior-Senior High, a school of 300 students . What is a Catholic Education? For most people, it means going t o a Catholic school, wearing a uniform and having religion classes, right ? Well, not for Mr. Anthony Jaworski. For him, a Catholic education started at the grade school level and continued through the college level. He received a bachelor's degree from Immaculate Conception College in came a noticeable item along with Avise's navy blue suit. Co nception, Mo . and a master's degre e in education administration at Cre ighton University . After t e aching at Holy Name High Schoo l in Omaha for l l years, Mr. Jaworski became principal of the two building, 1 30-student school. But even with all the new faces, two long time returning faces are Fr. Hurley and Mr. Garland. For the last seven years, Fr. Hurley has played a large role in the St. Albert administrative department. But lately rumor has had it that the start of the 1985-86 school year students wouldn't see him any more . But there is no truth to that rumor. He will be back, and with many great projections for St. Albert. According to Fr. Hurley, there are going to be some major repairs done to St. Albert. He also said that the new school year will bring a large e xpansion in our computer department. He would like to see a computer class started in the near future . Mr. Da ve Garland has been the junior high coordinator for the last four years. Alth o ugh he deals mainly with the junior high, he is one of the largest assets to the Sr. High. With his outgoing personality, he has won the friendship of most students. "He wasn 't only a great teacher he was a great friend to all of us. And he doesn't treat us any different now that we're in high school, " said freshman Jeff Howard . M r. Garland overlooks Freshman and Sophom ore lunch as h e performs one o f his many duties as junio r high coordinator. Fr. Hurley gives communion to sophomore Jean Carlin and junio r Tonia Geiger at All Feast's Day Mass . Some junior high girls gather around assistant principal Tony Jaworski, as he shows them a picture.

People at the Core 164/Secretari es, Cooks, Janitors No school could function without those who work so diligently behindthe-scenes, those people who put their time and effort but get little recognition. For S.A.'s two full-time secretaries, Mrs. Lois Hemmingsen and Mrs. Maril ynn Leggio, 'busy' just barely describes them. The added phone system and new admission slips have helped them in their wo rk. Glori a Blum received a new working partner this year, Ms. Terryl Gre iner, in the business office . Together they handle the billing and many other things to keep the school running smoothly. Manning the stoves and ovens are head cook Virginia Carberry, cooks Delores Romesburg, Joan Pursell, and Su zanne Hoffman . Carberry and Romesburg have served numerous years; Pursell joined five years ago; Cooks take time out for a team shot: senior cook Virginia Carberry, Suzanne Hoffman, Joan Pursell and Delores Romesburg and Hoffman, along with ticket-table-cleaner Linda Fox were added this year. "I don't think the program is changed too much, just that new faces are around," said Carberry. The kitchen workers seem to enjoy their work and each other. They wanted it known : "We really do like the kids. If we didn't we wouldn't be here." The cooks have a full day, beginning each morning at 7 :00 to prepare the meals, and work until the last bell usually with cleaning up and planning for the next day. "We try to do what we can with what we have, " Carberry said of the food, most of which is sent from the government. "We have little control over what we receive, but we like to try new dishes and we're open to new ideas." The maintenance men put in their time as well, with Wayne Johnson t ending to the halls and machines daily. Orlon German assists with the day-to-da y clean up tasks but at night Bill Snyder takes care of S.A. It is no tale that these behind-thescenes people play a much bigger ro le in keeping S. A. efficient and running well than what ap pears on the surface .

St. Albert's twentieth anniversary was upon us. It was a time to reflect on perhaps the single-most influential factor in our development, the time spent at St. Albert Central Catholic High School. Throughout the following pages of St. Albert's twentieth anniversary edition of DIMENSIONS, we focused our attention on who we were, and who we would become. We captured the essence of St. Albert by realizing the past and dreaming about the future . In cherishing the past, we realized the struggles, challenges, and accomplishments of those who walked the halls of Sr. Albert before us: past facu lty and administrators, and the students who gathered heri: f r an education that was "A step above the rest." In embracing the future, we recognized the Employees of Hawkins Construction Company began to lay the fou ndation of the school's gymnasium in July of 1963. One of two fir trees planted in front of the main entrance twenty yea rs ago, was only 4-feet ta ll. Twenty yea rs later and twenty feet taller, the fir towers above the main entrance. 2/Theme hopes and dreams th at wo uld ca rr y us through the rest of our lives. With a solid high school education behind us, we could strive fo r the best in ourselves and reach fo r the highest star. This is what we, the 1986 DIMENSIO NS staff, have tried to remember to do. Cherish the past . . . Embrace the fu ture. Kelly Blu m '86 accepts communion from Fr. Hurley at the Homecoming mass. Embrace the Future Fr. Daniel Deleham checks over the school's newly built science lab before the school opened. Theme/3 herish the Past On April 15, 1963, 150 people gathered at the top of a quiet hill to take part in the groundbreaking which symbolized the commencement of construction for St. Albert The Great Central Catholic High School. This school has had a much greater impact on the Catholic Community of Council Bluffs than was ever anticipated by its founders. The doors opened in 1964, and St. Albert's first student body was a coinstitutional class of freshmen only. Those students, along with dedicated teachers and administrators began the tradition of academic excellence with an emphasis on religious teaching, spiritual unity, and unsurpassable school spirit. That unity and spirit continued, and the Class of '86 is now ready to assume their place among the ranks of proud alumni. Lori Phelps, '86 said, "I feel that I have left all of my friends and the special closeness of the school, and also some really great teachers." Kelly Blum, '86 said, "More than anything, I'm leaving behind my close friends that I've spent great times with during my high school years." Both would agree, however, that good-by is not a term used among friends. So as we celebrate our 20th anniversary, we carry on the tradition that began with the Class of '66. Yet, the Class of '86 will leave behind a part of them that will be carried on by future generations. This is the true tradition. And this is how the quiet foothill has been transformed into a mountain of memories and love that will be cherished forever.

Construction for "Mall of The Bluffs" began in 1985 . ~-- ~-~!:-- .-;:...;~ ..... ,,Q, ' ... - ~- . . Looking into the future seemed to be scary, but as the future became reality, happy and sad times took the place of being frightened. Jacque Slater, '88, who wasn't frightened about the future said, "My goal in life is to have a career in medicine, or maybe become the first woman President of the United States. Vote for me!" The first day of kindergarten was a day parents looked forward to with reluctance. But as time passed and people grew, the future became something to look forward to ... because it was the beginning of the rest of our lives. Troy Hemmingsen, '89 has already started to dream about his future. "I really want a ·t: mbrace The Future ......-::;__ ·- ,,,-- . - --- .:::...:_~~ _-::- -- - --- - - - - - break in show business - even at my age," he said. "I love to sing and dance, and I'm crazy about '50's music." Graduation seemed to be a stepping stone on the road to the future , and many people didn't know exactly where they would be going or what they would be doing, and that was scary. Karl Rohling, 'S6 remained optimistic, however. 'T d like to get a degree in aerospace engineering, veterinarian medicine, or law," he said. 'Td like to go to Notre Dame or somewhere in the east, because I'm searching for a little more cultured atmosphere. That's probably because I'm kind of unique and I like trying new things." Theme/ 7 Student Life he Bond of Friends Will Last Forever "Two who walk a road together walk farther than someone alone." A friend helps pull you over those sky-high mountains in your path through life ... and helps pull you out of the chuckholes too. They are there when all you need is a hug and a smile, and they undesstand that need. Friends can dry up tears and somehow make the sun shine again. Friends share your disappointments and your victories. They understand how much that game meant, and they know just how to celebrate your eighteenth birthday with style. High school memories are made with your best friends - freezing football games, doubling to dances, cruising broadway, cramming for finals, and that frantic last day of school. For the Class of '89 this was the first year to walk that road, and along that journey they will make the memories that they will cherish forever. The Class of '86 came to the end of their road. This was the last year to make those memories, and the first for promises of "We'll keep in touch." But even if we are not together in body, we will always be friends in spirit. We will carry with us fo rever, the memories and the love as we travel down the road .. . together. 8/Studenr Life Friendship has always been impo rtant to the srudenrs of St. Albert, as demonstrated by these coeds in 1964. Teachers and students can be close fri ends too. Maria Papazian, '86 smil es pleasantl y as art teacher, Deb McGuire stops to say "hi ." Ronni Martin, ·ss. Penny Ramirez, '87, and Ann Petersen, '87 say, "Smile, we're all friends he re1" Candidates fo r "Queen Frenchtoast" J ack ie Leggio, '86 and Tammy J ones, also '86, embrace as they nea r t he " top five." Friendship/ CJ Gett in Into the 60' s Groove Every year there is a change in fashion. Styles come and styles go. The 1960's "look" was resurrected in the 1980's. Bobbed hairstyles along with flattops, stirrup pants, straight skirts, and plain white canvas tennis shoes were constantly seen. "I go with the GQ/Preppy look, whatever is in style," said Dan Poole, '87. Unisex dressing was a very popular trend in the 1985-86 school year, and girls were seen wearing their fathers' old sweaters and shirts. Laurie Nettles, '86 commented, "I love clothes and I wear whatever I want, not just because it's in!" Shoes' Snoes! Shoes! Shoe styles varied from paisley print to wricren·on tennis shoes! JO/Fashion Big and long were the key words for 1985- 86, demonstrated in oversized sweaters and long skirts as the new fads. Frequently seen prints were paisley and pl.ml. Many students checked out local thrift scores for cheap cardigans, trench coats, and old-fashioned jewelry. "I feel people should wear whatever they want and what they are most comfortable in," said Chad McDermott, '88. Whatever "look" srudents at St. Albert chose, they definitely had fun wearing what was best for them! Students from 1965 show-off their interpretation of style. A familia r sight in 1985-86 - stirrup pants! "We" ve got style! " Anne Olsen '86, Troy Hemmingson '89, Su Niebu r '86, Laurie Nettles '86, and Jaime Barnes '89 pose for the camera at Central Park Mall in Omaha. "Hey, chis one's on sa le!"

Weekends T.G.I.F., "Thank God Ir's Friday," was a phrase that echoed in school hallways everywhere from 1966 and 1986. The weekend was that two and a half-day rime warp that allowed us to recharge our minds and bodies after a week of mental, academic, and social pressure. Ir was a rime to rest and relax, yet everyone wanted to cram as much as possible into that little cocoon of rime. Activities ranged from arhleric events, dares, movies, parries, cruising, shopping, or just reading a good book. The list was endless. Jason Smith '89 said, "Weekends give me a chance 'to get away' after a long week and be with friends that I don't have classes with or that go to other schools." Howeve r the time was spent, everyone seemed to be revived on Monday; ready to tackle a new week, and muddle through Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and finally, Friday, again. Lynne Murray '86 said, "Ir's nor that I don't want to be in school over the weekend roo, bur cruising up and down Broadway on Friday and Saturday nights gives my life that little extra plus!!" 12/Weekends Dawn Ri ckard ·ss catches up on missed sleep-time Satu rday morning, due t0 a busy week at school.

Juggling Jobs Is No Joke For students at St. Albert, weekends have been, and always will be, a time to wind down, relax, and take a break from the pressures of the school week. But for a growing number of students, it was a time to climb out of those St. Albert uniforms and into work uniforms. While your friends were looking forward to games, parties, and sleeping in, you were looking forward to long hours, hats that never seemed straight, and rushing through the front door just in time to punch in and realize you had forgotten your name tag. There were advantages to joining the working force , such as making new friends, learning responsibility, and new skills, and the pay-check as the result of your efforts. And, said Barb Osborne '87, employ.ed at Tastee Treat, "Work takes your mind off school." Rob Hunter '88, employed at the Crescent Lounge, fo und another advantage. "I like the opportunities to chase women!" But the disadvantages were not to be overlooked either. Long and/or late hours could leave a student behind in homework, and many found their grades falling. Said Kevin McGinn '87, employed at the Madison Hy-Vee store, "I never get off work wh n I am upposed to, so it gets in the way of my grad~s." The advantages and disadvantages of holding a part-time job were the same fo r St. Albert students today as St. Albert students of the past. It all came down to deciding what was best for you.

(!)nee a Fad • • • Always a Fad Since the beg inning of high school, students have found some place to go after school and on weekends to meet their friends and eat. They go to relax and have fun . Connie Ravlin, "8 ~, for example, said, "I like Burger King because that's where the good-looking g uys are. It's funn y laughing at the nerds and I, of cou rse, like the fries and the shakes." The place to go has changed quite a bit over the years since St. Albert opened. Back in 1966, Ewalds was THE place to go. It offered food , fun , and friends. It was a hangout to go see who was with whom, show off souped-up cars, or just to drive past to be seen. Over the yea rs this changed , and accord ing to a poll of 100 St. Albert students, Burger King was the "in" place to go in 1986. "It's the place to meet new, fun, and exciting people," affirmed _Su Niebur, '86. Popular foods, drinks, and nice restaurants changed also. Students enjoyed eating at Pizza Hut and drinking a soda. They also enjoyed going to Maxine's for their special dates. Lisa Evers, '87, likes Maxine's because it it neat, rich-looking, and classy. Karen Menges, '86 says that Burger King is out for her, but that Maxine's is definitely in. Fads from 20 years ago came back, however, and cheap hamburgers and Cherry Coke once again were in demand. And some things should never change ' The makers of Coca-Cola found out the hard way. They removed the original flavor Coke from the market and public outcry forced the re-introduction of"Classic Coke." Teens now had their choice of Classic Coke, or any of the varieties top-competitor, Pepsi Cola had to offer. The "in" place to go will never stay the same, it changes with the changing generations. But the need for a place to go to have fun and meet with friends will never change . .. Once a fad , always a fad. Homecoming Hilarity '85 Each year, Homecoming reminds us of past years and the experiences du ring those years. This year, students kept tradition and also added a few new ideas. As all the alumni before them, students began their Homecoming week with special activities. Beginning on September 30, students chose the theme "Wild 'n Crazy," and dressed up in costumes from housewives to rock stars. On "Toga Tuesday," students participated in the Roman tradition of wrapping themselves in sheets. Wednesday, the students dressed as "Opposites," with the girls digging through their dads' closets and the guys sc rounging something of their mothers' that would fit them. St. Albert pride and spirit was shown on Thursday by wearing green and gold for "Spirit Day." Friday, students dressed up in their Sunday best and joined together in the gym for the annual Homecoming mass celebrated by Fr. Kiernan. Thursday night at the pep rally the Homecoming Court was recognized. The new royalty was Queen Lynne Murray, and her court, Amy Geier, Ann Henderson, Tammy Jones, Kim Mauer, and Maria Papazian. King Ed McGill was attended by Korey Culjat, Vince Rew, Karl Rohling, Rex Romano, and J eff ~hu dak . Special activities were also held at the football field. Class contests were held, bur floats were nor built this year. Student Council President, Vince Rew, said, "floats were a waste of time, effort, and money fo r rhe few who participate in them." 18/Scudenc Life This seemed to be the general feeling, though some students did ob ject to breaking the tradition. Falcon fans filled the bleachers Friday evening to cheer the foorball players on tO a 10-6 victory over Cathedral. The special week ended on Saturday night with the Homecoming Dance, held in the gym with the music of Soundsa tional.

On Saturday, December 14, the annual journalism-sponsored Christmas Dance was held. This year's theme was "Mistletoe Magic!" The cafeteria was decorated with streamers, balloons, and mistletoe hanging from the ceiling. You might even say that a few of the students took advantage of the mistletoe. "If I was a parent, I'd rather have my kid making out at a school dance and not in the back seat of a car," said senior Maria Papazian, in defense of the public display of affection (better known at pda). As usual, the breathalizer was ready and waiting for any students suspected of intoxication, but happily, no one was questioned. Music was supplied by Soundsational and pictures were raken by Jack Holder. This year's chaperones were Mike Kavars, Jeannette Schultz, Fr. Robert Hoeffler, Crsula Tetzlaff, Jonna Andersen, Sister Mary Kay, and Marilyn Wandersee. Christmas, as most people agree, is a very busy and fun-filled season. With all the excitement going on it's really a neat experience to see the SA students get together with their friends and enjoy an early Christmas bash! All in all, it appeared that most of the students were really having a good tim , and the evening was filled with early Christmas spirit! "I had a lot of fun, and I thought it was really neat," said senior Susie Bartholomew.

Chee rl eader Penny Ramirez '87, smiles as she watches a fellow worker make her valentines. How would you tell that special someone, "I love you? " For many students this year at St. Albert, they would say, "send 'em a flower," which is exactly what many of them did. Again this year, the varsity cheerleaders sold carnations with a message attached for $1 and valentines for 50¢. A white carnation represented a lasting friendship, pink symbolized an innocent crush, and red - true love. Making all of those special valentines took a lot of hard work, but the general consensus from the cheerleaders was, "It was well worth it!" They spent first and second periods delivering flowers and valentines to to all the love-struck victims of the cupid 's arrow. Even though the valentine sales profit was lower this year than usual, spirits were high and smiling faces were seen throughout the halls of the school on Friday the 14th. Along with the carnations and valentines, many students received balloon-a-grams and various other tokens of affection from family, friends, or sweethearts from other schools. The Valentine Dance, hald February 7, was another special day. Following tradition, it was a gi~ls ask guys dance and the turnout was good. If you missed out or forgot about Valentine's Day this year, you missed guite arrear. Bur there is always next year to show the one you love just how much you care.

Bur the fun was just beginning! The Class of '86 rented the skating rin k from 1 to 3 a.m. Then came bowling from 3 to 5 a. m. The fun continued as prommers feasted at the Post-Prom-Party-Breakfast hosted by junior class parents. Door prizes were awarded at all of the events, ranging from gift certificates to cash prizes to a black and white television set. The prom was brought to a memorable close as srudents celebrated the mass together. The focus of the event was for parents and stu - dents to be in partnership and to "live to see the dawn.'" Support to this concept was the signing of a contract to "celebrate straight. " The junior class provided the graduating seniors with a beautiful evening that brought their years at St. Albert tO a high point ... an evening that will live on in their memories always.

Prom/27 Organizations and Academics Cherish the Knowledge Embrace the Wisdom Teachers and administrarors began a selfstudy prepararory tO the North Central Association evaluation, better known as the NCA. The evaluations allow schools to take a good hard look at themselves and see where they need to improve, or to determine what they are doing right. The NCA then follows up by sending a team of evaluators to further assist the school. By taking part in such a process, (which takes nearly two years), St. Albert rook positive steps to improve in specific areas, particularly academics. Upgrading academics is not the only priority for St. Albert. Preparation for life after hig h school is, and always has been, an important facet. of the educational process. Student organ1 zattons and academics are partners in that preparation. Some people think they are just clubs to belong to because you r friends do, or maybe because membership in them makes you more popular. Some students think extracurrirnlar activities look impressive on college applications or on job resumes. . Many people think that joining an organizatton is too time consuming, but really it is an opportunity to do something for your school or even for your community. Getting to know 28/0rganizations and Academics people and having an enjoyable time, and yet accomplishing something for someone else is also motivation to join. Some organizations like National Honor Society or Quill and Scroll are selective, and therefore, a privilege to be accepted into. You're not chosen just for grades, but also for leadership and service to your community. Membership in these organizations, of course, does look impressive o n college applications, but the most important reason for belonging is to help students be - come better individuals. Many organizations have changed over th e years. For example, cheerleading try-o uts were held twi ce this year instead o f once, allowing more girls to participate. Also, student council became involved in decision-making with ad - ministrators. Rick Colpitts, a 1979 grad uate of Sr. Albert said , ""The organizations now are better and there are more of them now than when I was in school." As each year goes by, the groups grow and change. In another few yea rs who knows what metamorphosis will take place ? The important thing to remember is that the g rowth expe rience provided in organizations and academics will never change.

Di vision Page/ 29 - New Leadership • Inspiration • • New What does Student Council do anyway? A lot of things! They organized the kick-off of the magazine drive, including an assembly to boost our spirit and make salespeople out of all of us. Student Council president, Vince Rew, even vowed that if he didn't sell six magazines, he'd dress up in a girl's uniform for a week. They sponsored all the homecoming festivities, including the fun-filled pep rally and dance. The Student Council, through the years, has always been an important part of St. Albert. They were a connection between the student body and the administration. The Student Council suggested many ideas that would never have come to be without their help. Barb Osborne said, "The Student Council has done more this year than any other, and the people are more involved." The Rev.James Kiernan, Student Council sponsor, said, "The Student Council, unlike the past years, has actually held the position of a student council. They have taken a consultative position to the administration. I was impressed with the quality of the officers. They have been responsive and concerned with the people and put in a lot of time." Besides Rew, other officers were vice-president, Rex Romano and secretary-treasurer, Ann Henderson. Kiernan said, "Student Council really became a positive part of St. Albert, and showed this through their many accomplishments." And oh, by the way folks, Rew did sell his six magazines. 30/0rganizations and Academics Freshman Stu dent Co uncil member, Brian Ratigan, with the help o f good budd ies, Brian O ' o nnor and T roy Hemmingsen, give solid support to Steve O berd in who demo nstrates how to p ut yo ur head in a hoop.

New inductees were sophomores Kathy Alfers, Becky Ficek, J ohn Hassett, Jacqui Slater; juniors Theresa Burkey, Maureen Daly, Bonnie Ficek, Stephanie Keefe, Brian Miller, Barb Osborne, Nancy Smith; seniors Sue Bartholomew, Amy Honaker, Kris Marrin, Jennifer Ogg, James Sebghati, and Cris Schmitz. NHS president Karl Rohling, presided, and Fr. Edward Hurley and Dr. Michael Avise spoke. This year NHS inducted Fr. Hurley as an honorary member, and presented him with a NHS pin and plaque for his dedication and service. On April 2, a second ceremony was held for two students who were unable to attend the first ceremony. Vice-president of NHS Lisa Claussen, secretary Norene Smith, treasu rer Su Nie bur and Teresa Andress each gave a speech on the fo ur qualities that a NHS member must possess - scholarship, character, service, and leadership. Two days later another scholastic team was testing their abilities. The St. Albert Brain Bowl team competed at Peru, Nebraska. This special gro up of people received little recognition for rhe rime and effort spent on their 'sport'. Team members were juniors Troy Holmberg and Dan Simon; seniors Teresa Andress, Karl Rohling, Scott Hoffman, J ames Sebg hati, David Smyth, and Gigi Varner. Coach J ames DeMott is a three-year veteran. Senior Gigi Varner thought Brain Bowl was fun even though they only competed once . David Smyrh and Karl Rohling, who were dubbed the "Twin Towers", led the Brain Bowl to a strong victory at Peru . Brain Bowl and HS/ 33 Journalism Deadlines & Dedication • • • Copy, layouts, phoros and deadlines are all essential parts of putting rogether an informative newspaper and yearbook. But people are the key ingredient. With a new year came new ideas, and the administration approved the offering of two journalism classes. This also allowed some juniors tO hold editorial positions. Sue Hotz '86, said, "It's great because they gain experience for next year." Having two classes also allowed for a growth experience for beginners. After the first semester, the junior students tried their wings in production and began t0 contribute tO both newspaper and yearbook. Unlike many schools.who support separate staffs, SA journalism students produced both the yearbook and newspaper, causing numerous time conflicts and additional stresses. Dan Simon "87, sa id , "J ournalism can be a ve ry time consuming activity. But that time is necessary to put out top class productions." Journalism, like many other field s, requires a certain amount of specialization. Graphics, for instance, is a talent that is inva luable. Matt Mullin spent many hou rs designing layouts and graphics fo r both the ACCIPITER and DIMENSIONS. Mullin '87, sa id, ··r enjoyed drawing, so journalism gave me a chance tO explore new areas." Sue Horz was the roken senior in the beginning journalism class. She contributed her typing skills, which put her in great demand among the junior students. New journalism students nor only improved their writing abilities by in itiating and wming their own articles, but gained valu able experience by conducting their own interviews and doing research to get the complete story to their readers.

The familiar face of Diane Guill was missing, bur a new advisor, Jeannette Schultz, was on the scene. This was her first year of reaching. "'For starring our primarily as an English reacher, I think I've really come a long way in journalism, even though I have a very long way to go," she said. "This year has been a great learning experience for me." One of the changes this year was a split of the class. Senior editors were in one class and junior co-editors were in the other class. For some, this worked our very well, while others found it almost impossible to cope with. With a spirit of cooperation, by the end of the year it all worked out well. The yearbook and newspaper staffs both worked hard and used their special creativity. Fewer editions of the newspaper were published this year, but not because newspaper is less important than yearbook. Because of the ongoing nature of yearbook on a daily basis, it gets more publicity. SA takes a great deal of pride in its publications, and because of this pride, many students continue ro get involved in journalism. One area of involvement is Quill and Scroll Honor Society, an organization for outstand - ing journalists. To be an active member, a student must be a junior or senior in the uppe r third of their class ranking at the rime of selection, and must display outstanding qualities in their school publications. Quill and Scroll members are recommended by the teacher-advisor, and the secretary-treasu rer of the national organization. St. Albert had two current members for the year, Norene Smith and Lisa Skow, and on Monday, April 4, a warm welcome was extended to new members, Michelle Blizzard, Theresa Burkey, Joelle Corbaley, Bonnie Ficek, Dan Simon, and Maureen Wickham.

These are three words that describe the 1985-86 Junior/ Senior High concert and pep band at St. Albert High School. "I look forward to band everyday, and our audiences at games and concerrs really seem to enjoy our performances," said Lisa Claussen '86. The band consisted of eighteen junior high members and sixteen senior high members. They performed under the direction of George "Kip" Kippley. "Mr. Kippley had a knackfor drawing out the band's full potential," said Dave Zimmerman '88. The band continued to make marked improvement under Kippley's direction. The pep band was seen performing at various pep rallies, football and basketball games. The concert band performed their annual winter and spring concerrs along with the concert choir and Les Musiques. Throughout the year, selected members tried out and were chosen for various honor bands and contests in Southwest Iowa and Nebraska. This year students participated in the U.N.O. Honor Band, the Southwest Iowa Honor Band Association (SWIBA), and the Nebraska Centennial Conference (NCC), which was held in the St. Albert gymnasium. There were many changes in the music department that were very beneficial for the students. The budget for the department was increased providing for new pep band music, jazz-chart , concert pieces, and repairing damaged instruments. Fundraisers were also organized throughout the year to help cover expenses. Th e regular third-h our band class was changed to the longer fourth -hour period, allowing for more practice time , and for junior high members to join the senior high for some practice sessions. For the first time in many years, officers were elected. Tim Fields '87 was elected president, Shirley Tobias '86 held the office of vice-president, Susan Ord '87 was elected secretary, and Ron Mueller '87 was made treasurer. Two librarians were elected. They were Dawn Zimmerman '87 and Tammy Lesline '89. St. Albert pep and concert bands continue to strive for excellence in entertainment, spirit, enthusiasm, and pep.

Along with excellent direction and music, the choir's size increased from 12 ro 48 in one semester. Concert Choir sang for all school masses, Nebraska Centennial Conference at Boysrown, All City Vocal Festival, Christmas and .Spring Concerrs, and State Music Contest for solo performances. Choir members elected Theresa Book '86, as president. "I really enjoy singing - that's the best way for me ro express myself," said Book. "After being in Concert Choir for four years, I've gotten a !or of music rips from three different teachers; Mrs. Coughlin, Miss Darnell, and finally, Mr. Kippley." Another busy group was the t. Albert Swing Choir known as the Les Musiques. All through the year they performed at nursing homes, funerals, alter and rosary society meetings, and of course, the Annual Christmas Concert on December 15 and the Spring Concert on May 4. A few of the song and dance numbers performed by the group were, "Time to Believe In Our Dreams," "Be What You Wanr To Be," and "On Our Own." This year's group consisted of freshmen Matt Fenner, Peggy McGinn, Troy Hemmingsen, Sheila Berhendsen, and J oAnn Whetstone; sophomores Dana Nielsen and Jona thon Johnson; juniors Julie Gubbels and Melissa Stidham; and seniors Theresa Book, Jackie Leggio, and Laurie Nettles.

On To State With Shakespeare For the first time ever, a Shakespeare play was portrayed on the SA stage fo r the winter One Act Play. "Lovers in Midsummer" is a comical romance between two couples. Due to a magic spell cast by character Puck, both men, Demetrius and Lysander, fa ll head over heels for Helena, after both were in love with Hermia. With the other characters, Thesius, Egeus, Titania, and Felicia, the play is a very humorous twist of love and romance. The cast and crew loaded up on J anuary 11 , to the annual NCC Conference at Boystown to be critiqued in order to prepare for district competition. On Satu rday, J anuary 25, they road-tripped to Glenwood, Iowa for district competition. They received a I rating which is the score required to go to state competition. Finally, the big day came on Saturday, February 8. This year, state competition was held at TJ and AL, here in Council Bluffs. The SA drama department was assigned to AL at 9:00 a.m. Here they also received a I rating. The cast also presented the show on Thursday, February 6, during Catholic Schools Week for a live audience.

What better way to learn about God than through religion classes. At St. Albert, religion is a part of our daily life. Freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors are all required co take religion classes. Each year has a different course and view on religion. Karla Miller '89, said, "I like frosh religion because it brings us closer to God and teaches us about the Old Testament and the people in that time." New Testament and church celebration bring a new view. "Religion is a fun class. It's a great experience for a young Catholic," said Maureen O'Gara '88. Juniors took Jesus and justice classes. Angel Howlett '87, said, "I like Mr. Koester's religion class. It's fun and down to earth." The senior year required classes are morality and relationships. Sue Hotz '86, said, "Fr. Kier. nan's relationships course is a very interesting cla s and I really like the group discussions." "Not only classroom work, but retreats, field trips, and guest speakers helped us learn more about God," said Bonnie Ficek '87.

When the heck am I ever going to use geometry proofs in my lifetime ? Maybe I should just be a bum and scrounge off mom and dad the rest of my life. " This reflects the sentiments of many St. Albert High School students involved in this year's math and science curriculum. Both departments are generally characterized to include many college prep courses, and the students generally enter these classes with expectations of a certain amount of difficulty. As senior chemistry student Jeff Shudak put it, "Mr. Beckman (first-year science department rookie) kind of scared us in the beginning of the year by saying that it would be extremely difficult, but it turned out to be less tough than I expected." Teaching in the science department with Beckman are Terry Dolnicek, biology and Kris Wiley, physical science. Mike Masker '87 found biology to be challenging. He said, "It's a lot harder than previous science classes, but we get more freedom to do experiments, labs, and that sort of stuff." Some of S.A.'s students had to go over the parking lot and through the woods to A.L. for science and math courses. Gigi Varner '86 is one of those people. Calculus student, Varner, explained the difference between S.A.'s and A.L 's math, "I thought they (the A.L. students) would be much more advanced, but I found out that we're just as much, if not more, prepared for a college prep class as they were. " This often had been the case throughout the years, which leads us back to the preparation students have while in the St. Albert math department headed by Konnie Wiegman (Alg I, II, and Geom.) and Caroline Swartz (Alg I, II, Trig, and Consumer Math). This department has provided a good backg round for students going on in higher math courses. Trig student, Cris Schmitz '86 summed it up best, "The class is very challenging, but Mrs. Swartz tries to explain it the best she can to aid us in our confusion." Mach and Science/47 English 'n Effort Go Hand-in-Hand "I ain't got no pencil to do my work," shouted Slappin' Slow Sid. Priscilla Perfect then gave Sid a pencil to do his English assignment. Reluctantly, Sid began the essay. He didn't really care to work much in that class, and his explanation was that by sixth hour everyday he was too tired. But really now, what kind of an excuse is that) Behind Sid sat Brainy Brian who always had the right answers and spoke so "fluentl y." Finally one day, Sid got motivated and decided to apply himself, and before long he enjoyed his English class. Unfortunately, not all cases are like this. At St. Albert the English department consists of: literature, composition, speech, and English courses. In · these classes the students learn how to write a sentence correctly, give an effective speech, write a term paper, or read about some of the famous people who have written some of America's finest literature. English class can be a lot of fun if you allow it co be, and it helps if you have a caring teacher. Most students would probably agree, however, classes are what each individ ual makes them. 48/0rganizations and Academics Attentively reiding her American Literature assignment is Maureen Daly '87.

SA AL Sharing Competing With Class St. Albert and Abraham Lincoln High Schools have long been rivals on the court, on the field , and on the track. There was a time when the students of both schools joined together and worked, however, and that was in the classroom. Students of St. Albert have been provided with a good solid base on which to further their education, but unfortunately, SA was unable to provide calculus and advanced chemistry. Several students commuted to AL every day to rake advantage of these classes. Gigi Varner '86, one such student, said, "I thought when I went for classes at AL I would not be as smart as the students there. I found out that we are just as advanced as they are, we just don't have as many opportunities for higher classes as they do." She explained how well SA students were treated and that the time students spent together broke down many preconceived notions they held about each other. Driver's education was also offered to SA students through AL classes. Because it is a required course, sophomores spent one semester trying to get through the demanding course which meant license or no license. The curriculum consisted of use of a simulator, actual driving, and in-class study. Using computerized cars, students were faced with life and death situations depicted on film, and they reacted accordingly. They were given scores depending on reaction times and use of proper procedures in each simulation. Once students made it through pop quizzes and simulated collisions, their skills were tested in real ca rs. Two common problems were telling the difference between Woodbury Avenue and 1-80 entrance ramps, and remembering to buckle seat belts. The importance of seat belts was constantly stressed (with good reason). At the end of the year, a gruesome but true film was shown to reinforce lectures. Tim Fields '87, said, "The movie made a deep impression on me. It was rough watching people die and know that it actually happened. It was even worse to know that it could just as easily happen to me." Approximately 24 students take advantage of drive r's-ed classes each semester. In reciprocity, SA opened its doors to AL students in the afternoon to take a computer class taught by Scott Belt. The rivalry between SA and AL will undoubtedly continue, but within it a fellowship has grown inside and outside the classroom.

Gloria McDaniel, Spanish teacher, scru ms her guitar while singing a song from Espana. "Hola! Como Estas ?" Translated that means, "Hi! How are you? " in Spanish. Along with the new students at St. Albert this year, a new Spanish teacher joined the faculty. Gloria McDaniel, who taught Spanish I, II, III and IV, took the place of Kathy Thomsen who left to teach at Lewis Central. McDaniel livened up her classes by bringing her guitar and teaching the class to sing songs from Espana. Although Spanish isn't a required course, many people chose it as an elective because most colleges require two years of a foreign language. Some of the requirements also changed in the Social Studies Department. Contemporary history, which was once an elective course, was made mandatory. The curriculum for social studies in high school now requires the freshmen to take world history; sophomores U.S. history; and juniors were allowed the choice of taking contemporary history either of their last two year . Spanish and social studies had an increase in enrollment this past year because more students became inte rested in what was happening around them.

The second annual Business Law Mock Trial, under the supervision of Rick Colpitts, was held again this year. It was a lot of fun for everyone participating, especially for the defense team consisting of seniors Jeff Shudak, J ames Sebghati, and junior Barb Osborne. This able team of three persuaded the jury to reduce the charge of second degree homicide against Bud Wieser (Fil Catania). "I learned a lot about hard work that a lawyer must do to win a case! It was ~ lot of fun! " said Barb Osborne. The prosecution team consisted of seniors Ed McGill, Korey Culjat, and Teresa Andress. They did a good job of persuading the jury to convict Bud Wieser on the charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Everyone in the class had a role to play, from judge all the way to witnesses. In computer classes, students learned how the computer works, how to run programs, make flow charts, and use the data processing. This will help the students in college and possibly be a career choice. Data processing was the next step after computer processing class. The students learned how to make and run their own programs. These classes were taught by Scott "The big man" Belt, and were held in the convent (business office). When asked what he thought about making his students walk from one building to another in cold weather he replied, 'Tm not worried about it, I'm more worried about taking off my clothes in the boys' locker room!

"McGuire possesses the most wonderful quality of being able to cultivate talent in artistic people and make those of us possessing minimal talent think that "possibly" inside us might lurk a Picasso," said Cyndy Berriman '86. Art class at St. Albert was more than just drawing and painting. It could include anything from color spectrums to calligraphy to texture problems. Ir was an exciting adventure in selfexpression. Another avenue of self-expression was found in the physical education classes. Contrary to popular belief, P.E. does not stand for "participation evasion! " This parallel came about due to an extraordinarily large number of real or imagined injuries, illnesses, and various other ailments. For those of us who WERE participants in P.E., it was a good way to learn about football, basketball, weight-lifting, volleyball, and bowling to name a few. It also provided a great outlet for venting hostilities and frustrations in a good fifty-minute workout. Bur most importantly, P.E. provided the opportunity to get out of uniform and into a comfortable pair of sweats.

However, in this case, they were found in Rick Colpitts' and Jonna Andersen's typing and shorthand classes. Typing was required for all sophomore students. Typing II and III were also offered as electives for students who plan on a clerical career or for those who want co sharpen their typing skills. Some typing was a requirement for each student because it is a necessary skill in coday's world. Many reports in school need co be typed and many forms that a person fills out must be typed or printed clearly, and just how many people do we know who can print clearly! Also, when learning how to operate a computer, the basics of typing are necessary to use the keyboard. Shorthand land 11, taught by Jonna Andersen, were elective courses usually taken by students who plan on a clerical career. Often shorthand is regarded as a course for future secretaries. This is not necessarily true, because shorthand can be very useful in taking notes in college classes, meetings, phone messages, and personal writing. So when you walk into Andersen's room and see all those weird little symbols on the blackboard, be impressed, because Andersen and her students are the only ones who can understand the message. 60/0rganizations/ Academics Typing teacher Rick Colpitts tries to find the assignment in the text book.

Most of the students who took home-ec and shop didn't go into the classroom with the idea of being a gourmet chef or a master woodworker. The students took these classes to learn skills that the classes have to offer, and to enjoy a classroom with a relaxed atmosphere. "I like shop because it gives me a chance to do things on my own and to work at my own pace," said Mike Honaker '89. Dan Simon '87, said of his "fu des" class, 'The emotional trauma of changing teachers during the year was hard to handle, but Mrs. Hegwood made it fun and the trauma was easier to get through." Jane Hegwood, first-year-home-ec teacher at St. Albert enjoys teaching, she says, "Cooking is a hobby of mine and I enjoy teaching other people how to do it. Hopefully, I will be able to teach special techniques to students." Although most of the students who took home-ec and shop won't grow up to be masters of these trades, they did learn valuable skills, and in the process, had a lot fun.

Lisa Skow ind Kelly Blum, '86, took advantage of the opportunity to talk about college plans. Where did many students go to relax from a vigorous math class? Or where did they find relief from an over-enthusiastic English teacher who thought term papers are fun ? Where could they go to daydream or find the class brain actually enjoying himself? Of course -where else - the school library! The 1985-86 school year eroved to be a good one for the school library. Since this is known as the age of computers, word processors and computers were provided. Teachers were able to check out computers for class use. The word processor also helped librarian Maryann Angeroth when she typed up the overdue book lists, saving her a lot of time. Angeroth teaches the Junior High library skills class, and offers the Senior High a library science class. For the future , Angeroth hopes to get a computer card catalog, which makes updates and increases the book collection. Eventually, students will have access to more software such as computer discs and video tapes. Another important department is guidance. This year SA welcomed a new guidance counselor, Dan Malloy. (Malloy claimed, "St. Albert is blessed with my presence. ") Aside from listening to everyday problems of the students, Malloy battles the pressures of arranging major college entrance exams .such as ACT and SAT, for all seniors going to college. For juniors he arranges the PSAT. For those students not interested in attending college, Malloy then provides alternative career field information such as military, cosmetology, or other work choices. Malloy also teaches a jr. high guidance course about self-image, friendship, stress and career. He keeps his school spirit by coaching freshman girls' volleyball and girls' basketball. Library and Guidance/65 Tradition Quality Remains The Same The 20th anniversary edition of the Dimensions affords the opportunity to reflect upon the impact St. Albert athletics has made not only on our community, but on the whole area . Quality of effort and sportsmanship have earned SA a reputation for excellence. It is an enviable tradition. And tradition is what St. Albert is all about. Since its beginning, SA has made an educational, spiritual and emotional impact on families. Many of the families whose children were among the first to walk through the big front doors, are graduating the last of their children in the next year or two. "I guess in some ways it's kind of different, seeing the last of a line in many big families. But, the quality and style of athletics at SA will never change," said graduating senior Vince Rew. "I mean, any kid coming up through the ranks of Falcons or Saintes sports will value how successful that tradition has been. We've been known around th e entire state for our athletic accomplishments, more so than for anything else," he said . "The younger kids want to keep that alive. They want to be a part of that tradition. And the tradition extends to opening doors fo r promising athletes in the form of scholarships, which have, in a few cases even led to professional exposure. One of the fortunate few th is year was J eff Shudak, who received a full ride kicking scholarship to Iowa State Un ive rsity in the fall. Shu dak said, 'T m reall y thankful fo r the opportun ities I gm he re. A scholarship like this makes it so much easier to attend college. I can never forget how important athletics we re to me at St. Albert. " Determination and sportsmanship continu e to flou rish. The g reat traditi on o f St. Albert goes on. 66/ Sporrs • • • ----.. -· ·~ --:.:--:;:: -,,.-=----- ---==-=-...::-=-· ;;;:;=:-:::;-=-;;;-=:::-=-=-;;;..-...-...-=- .;;-::::=;- - I A look at the past .. .

Division Page/67 Young Falcon Gridders Post Impressive Campaigns The St. Albert JV team posted an impressive 3-3 season, one of the best in many years. "We had relentless execution on both sides of the ball, and had more depth than in previous seasons," said Doug Rew '88. 'That's why I feel we had as successful season as we did. " The Falcons did indeed field a much larger squad than in prior seasons, probably the biggest factor in the ]V's turnabout. 68/Sporrs While the junior varsity put togethe r one of their best seasons ever, St. Albert's freshman team fou ght to a 2-4 record . Unlike the JV, the frosh were a little lacking in depth. "We had a lot of talent at the skil led positions, but we just weren't very deep at any spots," said Brian Ratigan '89.

"I feel we far exceeded other's expectations with a tremendous amount of hard work, dedication, and a passing attack second to none," said quarterback Ed McGill, '86. "We knew we had the capabilities of being one of the premier teams in the state. It was just a matter of putting it all together the way we knew we could." Senior fullback Fil Catania echoed McGill's feelings and stated, "The season wouldn't have been nearly as successful if it weren't for Coach Scichilone and the complete dedication and leadership of the senior class." Despite miserable game conditions throughout most of the season, the Falcons set numerous school records. Among the most impressive of these were McGill's 1,877 yards passing and 18 scoring strikes, senior split end Vince Rew 1,065 yards receiving and 10 TD hauls, and senior punter/placekicker Falco n signal ca ll er Ed McGill scrambles fo r his life aga inst the Yellowjacket pursuit.

Shudak, Rew and junior defensive end Larry Ratigan were named to the REGISTER'S Class 2A 1st team squad, while McGill was placed on the 2nd team. Throughout the season, the Falcons managed to get consistently better with each game, something only the best of teams can do. And while the Bird's opponents were intimidated by St. Albert's finesse style of ball, the Falcons soared through one of the school's finest seasons ever. Football/ l Team Effort Sparks Season Dedication and the bond of friendship on and off the court were two of the biggest assets of the 1985 Saintes volleyball squad. Lynne Murray '86, said, "This year, it seemed as though we worked as a team and not as individuals, as in the past. Even when you weren't actually on the court, you felt very much a part of the team. " Bonnie Ficek '87, added, 'This year was one of the best years because we were really close, and we worked hard throughout the whole season. We had one of the best seasons ever." Even having only a few returning letterwin72/Sports ners, the team demonstrated a fight instinct and bounded back from a 6-12 season in 1984 co a 9-7-3 season in '85. Arny Honaker '86, summed it up by saying, "This year was really great. Everyone worked hard and played cogether as a team. I loved it." On the JV scene, a lot of effort and gained experience ended their season with a record of 6-5, the best for a JV squad in many years. "It was really a great year, and our team has a lot of possibility for the fu ture," added Becky Ficek '87. "And don't forget those Saintes. The future is lookin' good."

Yolleyball/73 Cross Country Squad Strides to Fine Finish The old cliche, "two is company, but three is a crowd," might prove to be true in some sports, but not for the 1985-86 varsity girls' cross country squad. The trio of Jackie Leggio '86, Barb Osborne '87, and Jean Sillik '88, led the Saintes to 10 victories. Joining the successful threesome in a great season were freshmen Theresa Fischer and Sherry Slobonik, and senior Kris Kinart. The spirited squad not only captured the Nebraska Centennial Conference, but 74/Sports also won the district title in Atlantic, Iowa. They went on to place 5th at the state championship in Ames, Iowa. The boys' cross country squad were very young, but very determined anct"a igh-stepping pack of runners. They improved impressively with each meet and broke individual records within the team often enough so that the 5th runner position changed from week to week. Injuries to two of the varsity runners, Ron Marshall '87 and Ron Barszcz '86 in midseason contributed to hampering the boys' win record, but not their enthusiasm for the sport. Although the cross country squad lost four talented athletes to graduation, several returning runners, the help of new recruits, and the expert guidance of Coach John Shorey should provide St. Albert with more winning and exciting seasons.

The freshman A-team had a record of 16- 1, and held a 58 game winning streak rhat dated back to when they were sixth graders. The streak was halted in a hard-fought loss to Millard South 46-44. Dale Scott '89 said, "It was a pretty disappointing loss, bur from where I was sirring, it looked like we played hard, and it should help us in-the future. In a way, I guess the loss was kind of good for us." 76/Sports The B-team, which finished 2-10, may not have won as many games as rhe A-team, but they were always there for support. "We may not have had the greatest record , bur we had a lot of fun and played hard," said Tony Kruse '89. The JV ream set a pre-season goal of finishing 17-1, bur fell one game short as the Falcons finished 16-2.

JV / Frosh BasketbaU/ 7 Full Court And Full Speed Ahead It was a year of change for the JV and freshman girls' basketball teams. It was full court and full speed ahead. Vigorous practices, enthusiasm, and love of the game were three factors that contributed to the winning season of the JV Saintes. But if one word could describe the team this year, it would be "hustle." The girls played hard all season and were real show people on the court. They were a high-spirited and very talented bunch who worked well together and supported each other whether they were on the court or on the bench waiting to play. Cindy Petratis '88, said, "This year was really great because we all got along really well together, and we all worked together as a team. " The JV sguad finished their season 78/ Sporcs with an impressive 13-3 record under the talented and enthusiastic coaching of Tracy Leinen. Although the freshman girls were "the new kids on the court," and were only able to practice when the gym was free, they showed great determination, and improved impressively throughout the season. Karla Miller '89, said, "I really had a g reat time playing basketball this year. Our team had some good times and bad times, but we only remember the good ones. I'm really looking forward to next year." The frosh, under the g uidance and direction of Coach Belt, ended their first hign!!clrool season with a hard-fought 8-8 record.

"I wanted the ball in my hands, because I felt like I could make something happen in the pressure situation," said McGill. "As soon as I let it go, I knew we were headed into overtime!" Once into overtime, SA took control and defeated Red Oak 81-78. The Falcons ended the season 15-7 with a 101-73 loss to Denison in the final game to see who would go to the state tournament in Des Moines.

These energetic and highly spirited girls were not only a team of confidence, but a team of determination as well. Much to their fans' delight, the girls experienced many overtime situations, and last-second shots to make their season a truly exciting one. Alicia McCoy '87 said, "It was great being on a winning team this year, and I really think we all worked together very well, and that made us a lot closer. Under first-year coach Dan Malloy's guidance and expertise, the Saimes finished their impressive year with an 11-8 record.

Steve Martin ·ss, breaks his man down before is p h city wrestling meet at T J Troy Ho lmberg '87, fig hts a ra ke down at t e The Falcon wrestlers closed out yet another trying season. Although the teams individual records weren't quite what most of the grapplers had hoped they would be at this final stage, there was no denying that the overall team's attitude was one of stern determination and strong optimism. "We approached this season knowing that we had an extremely young team and knew it would be used as a definite rebuilding year," said Falcon mentor Dick Wright. "Most of the kids had a realistic goal of a .500 season or better and wanted to have a strong showing in tournament action." Knowing that it was going to be a rebuilding year, things began to look down right away for the young ream. Due to a broken wrist, four-year letter winner, Fred Grote, '86, was forced to miss the entire season. Wright described Grote as a big asset, not only for his senior leadership, but also for his past winning ways, wa ys that were ce rtai nly missed last season. Picking up where Grote left off, however, was Tim Fields, '87, the team's leading match winner last year with a 12-15 record. "It's a good thing the squad had such an optimistic attitude, because that really made up for the physical size, strength, and age advantage most of our competition had over us throughout the year," said Fields. Coach Wright and Fields agreed that the teams attitude was the most vital part of the squad. Even though the team's -overall record wasn't as good as most had hoped for, this extremely young Falcon squad will be around and much improved in the seasons yet to come. Wrestling/SS Falcon Track Still Ahead Of Pack The 1986 Falcon rrack squad started the season with rremendous optimism. They had little in numbers and depth, but what lay on the surface was superior quality, particularly in the 400, 800, and 1600 meter relays and high jump. It was these events that continually carried the team meet by meet. At Clarinda, the Birds stacked all three relays to see how they compared to the best teams in Southwest Iowa, and walked away with all three golds against the top teams around. And junior high-jumper, Ken Fox, collected another first-place medal. After Clarinda, the Falcons had to make do without the services of senior speedster, Rex Romano, who was forced to sit out three weeks. So, it wasn't until districts, nearly a month later, that juniors Mike Masker and Chris Fischer, and seniors Vince Rew and Romano, could prove that their sweep was no accident. These four men and Fox made up the "Dog Franchise." (five hounds always sniffing for a victory) At disrricts, during constant downpours, the Falcons sewed up state berths in all four events. Fox won the high jump, and the 800m relay squad was victorious as well , with Masker, Fischer, Rew, and Romano each running superbly. The same quartet placed second in the 400m relay, and freshman Trent Holmberg took Rew·s place on the 1600m relay as the Falcons finished second; thanks to Romano's fabulous anchor leg. Yes, Rex was back, and ready to run. The Birds were pumped as they headed to Des Moines. Starting the weekend off on his right leg was Fox , leaping to a Class 2A State Championship in the high jump. He could now sit back and watch the rest of the Bluffs runners chase their golds. After making the finals, the 4X 100 and 4X400 teams fa iled to place. The 4X200 was different. The same fo ur entered the meet with the 11th fastest time, but qualified for the finals in the fourth spot. Afte r ru nni ng a blistering time - the fastest in Southwest Iowa, all season - that is exactly where they finished - a very close fourth.

Darrin Ma rti n patientl y eyes the ba ll ror a clear pu tt on the green. The boys golf team was really up to par this year. The team was led by senior Darrin Martin. The other four golfers that contributed to the team's successes were junior Matt J ohnson, and sophomores Doug Struyk,John Miller, and Sean Davis. One of the possible reasons for the team's success was new coach, Scott Belt. Belt allowed the team to have a lot of fun while playing, but he also kept a close eye to getting down to business and improving their games. Doug Struyk said, "We worked really hard at the beginning of the season, and then at the end, we let our natural abilities take over. I had a lot of fun this year." The strategy must have worked, because the team was the champion of both the Lewis Ce ntral Invitational and the Neb raska Centenn ial Conference. They placed second in the Counc il Blu ffs City Tournament, and in the sectional tou rname nt by a single stroke. The girls team was also made up predominately of underclassmen this year. They were junior Melanie Miller, and sophomores Ronnie Martin, J acqui Slater. Stacy Oberdin, and Kathy Alfers. These five g irls did things that no other SA girls golf team haJ ever done! They finished 7-2 in dual meets for the fir.st time ever.

Golr/CJl Falcons To State Saintes Rebuilding • • • When the boys tennis team started the year, they set a pre-season goal of finishing .500 in duals. However, as the season progressed, it was evident that the Falcons were ready to play. They finished with an 8-2 record, the best ever for an SA tennis team. Leading the way for coach Sterling West were five returning lettermen; senior Tom Eberhard, and juniors Dave Koehler, Chris Slater, Don J abro, and Mark Petratis. This balanced attack, along with consistent play from John O'Connor, #0 singles player, enabled the Falcons co net the city championship. They carried that momentum into district play, and the Falcons came away with the I V ARSlTY TENNIS 8-2 SA 4 Abraham Lincoln I OPP s Red Oak 3 6 9 4 7 6 I 92/Spons 7 8 Glenwood Denison Shenandoah Thomas Jefferson Lewis Central Abraham Lincoln Glenwood Thomas Jefferson 0 4 2 3 4 0 l I title, qualifying the team fo r state, where they finished third .

The Falcons are looking fo rward co an - other strong season next year, but the girls will be rebuilding. The Saintes lost fi,·e seniors from a team that fin ished 5-4. Amy Bremmer, #1 player, was voted most valuable player. Cris Schmitz played well at the #2 sp t. Other seniors included Jenn ifer Ogg, G igi Varner, Jeanette Burke and orene Smith.

In rhe spring of '86, rhe team was led by five returning starters: senior Jeff Shudak, and rwoyear srarters Mark Heenan and Chris Fischer.

The Sa intes lost quite a few key seniors from last year bur had a lot of experience coming back. The Saintes opened their season with the D owling Tournament. They ended up 1 and 3 in the tournament but, they played well and played a lot of good competition. "I feel that we'll do pretty well throug hout the season but we do not have a lot of depth on the team, especially in pitching," says Dan Malloy. The Saintes are looking fo r a pretty good season from the Seniors and hopefully getting some strength from the sophomore and freshman players. Maureen Wickham · 7 also commented on the depth of the team. "There's not many people out, bur we have a lot of fun . I think we 'll have a fairly good season.

G irls Sofrbnll/9 Cherishing the Past Embracing the Future Our Special Times The 1985-86 school year will be remembered for irs challenges and victories, triumphs and tragedies. The world advanced technologically by leaps and bounds, and "our with the old, in with rhe new" was appropo. Sarcasm was popular, and phrases such as "close!" , "newl", and "you hare it!" were echoed and re-echoed throughout rhe halls. Goodbyes were said to long-rime administrator Rev. Edward Hurley. Popular hang-ours were parries, "the ranch", Central Park Mall, Old Marker, and the all-time favorite Broadway. Music ranged from the trendy Duran Duran ro the classic Bruce "The Boss " Springsteen to the funky runes of Prince. Meanwhile, Council Bluffs residents adjusted to fasrpaced changes in their normally slow-paced community. It seemed the construction would never end. Bluffs Run, Mall of the Bluffs, and a major expansion at Eppley Airfield symbolized " in with the new," while several blocks of old buildings were rom down. Our with the old . Broadway's lanes were disrupted by diagonal parking, and voters approved a new mayoral system o f city government. Outside the immediate community, our country was dealing with the changes that were dumping the future into our laps. After 24 successful flights, a NASA trage - dy claimed seven lives, those of six astronauts and a civilian teacher-of-the-year. Positive steps were taken, however, and the NASA project continued. Political conflicts with Libya created apprehension and fear worldwide, especially in the Un ited States, the favorite target of archterrorist Moammar Khadafy. On a more positive note , the inflation rate was on the decline, gas and oil prices were lower than they had been in years, and interest rares rook a dive, making the cost of living a lot easier to live with. This year will nor, however, be remembered for these things alone. Special memories and accomplishments will be kept close ro our hearts always. Suffice it to say that we will look back on 1985-86 with a smile on our faces and pride in our hearts. 98/0ur Sp~cia l T imes .. Ta-da! .. says Mike Gill, English reacher.

The special week includes court selection, crowning of king and queen, football game, and dance. St. Albert Homecoming began September 30 with '"Wild 'n Crazy Day." Completing the week was "Toga Tuesday," "Opposites," '"Spirit Day,'" and '"Dress-Up Day. " The annual pep rally on Thursday resulted in a Falcon victory over Cathedral 10-6 Friday night. The finale was the big Homecoming Dance on Saturday evening. Homecoming has special meaning in the State of Iowa this year also, and 1986 has been proclaimed as the time to come home to your roots. The DES MOINES REGISTER said (it's a) "year-long celebration of Iowa's people and the values and tradition we share." Celebration included more than 1,000 events such as the Council Bluffs Pride Week Parade, fashion shows, and a celebrity golf tournament among others. Over 20 sponsors and 70 contributors helped finance the celebration. The DES MOINES REG-ISTER said , '"Iowans rediscovering Iowa is what Homecoming "86 is all about.'" Homecoming is only a hope for some , howeve r. Hundreds of famili es hope for a reunion with children who are missing. Each year, between 30,000 and 70,000 children are reported missing. Of these, only ten percent are returned to their families. Ten percent are found dead and 80 percent are never seen aga in. These are devastating statistics to families of missing children. "Call me when you get there," is one of SA offi ce worker Marilyn Leggio's frequent requests of her children. Reassurance that kids have reached their destination safely is a common concern of parents. Maryann Angeroth, school librarian, said, "We take the general precautions . . . 'don't talk to strangers, don't accept rides from strange rs.' I wouldn't encourage my kids to be a paperboy, but we don't let (fear) rule our lives. " Most teens reali ze that being cautious is preferrable to having a policeman notify parencs that their child is missing. When this happens, hope fo r homecoming is what remains. Nineteen eighty-five/eighty-six was not onl y a homecoming for our school and our state, it was and is the dream of pa rents nationwide who ha ven't given up hope. 100/0ur Special Times Referees Kevin McG in n (l eft) and Chris Fisc her gee ready co cime che sophomore class fo r ch e car cram.

And it comes with its' privileges, such as getting out of school early and the senior trip. Another advantage of being a senior is the opportunity to attend TEC (Teens Encounter Christ), a three day retreat in Panora, Iowa. Not many of the class of '86 attended TEC. And the majority of who did were girls. Betsy Tamisiea attended one of the first sessions of the year. Tamisiea said, "TEC is not the three-day mass everyone thinks it is. You focus on your own life and others around you. You meet a lot of new and exciting people who become your good friends." Kris Wiley, S.A. Religion teacher, is the organizer of the TEC weekends. Wiley commented, "TEC is a wonderful experience, and it's unfort unate that not more seniors took advantage of it." Another unforgettable experience of the senior year is the senior retreat. It took place at the Catholic Church in Glenwood, Iowa. The seniors were bused to and from Glenwood on two consecutive days. The retreat, however, was different this year. There were fewer group discussions and most of the time the seniors were asked to spend quiet sessions along. Susi Bartholomew said, "I enjoyed guing away for a retreat and getting the chance to be by myself instead of sharing my thoughts in a group." Tom Eberhard also shared, "The senior retreat helped me cope with my daily life. It was only boring if you made it boring." TEC and Retreat/ 103 The sign of peace is exchanged between Fr.

How are we going to pay for all this?" fundraisers, of course! fundraisers were a 1najor source of income for many organizations and dasssp0nsored activities this year.

"l try to find products that will raise the rnoney. l choose accordward the purchase of computers for the school, and various other items.

Many organizations a\so sponsored dances, grub days, and bake sales, many of which were successful. fundraising took a lot of hard work ing to what people are buying and what will raise the rnost rnoney at that tirne." He further explained that there has to be a guarantee of at \east a 40% profit frorn the sale of the product. "1 try to schedule fundraisers so that we don't have one right on rop of another," he said. At the beginning of the year students sold magazines ro raise rnoney ro go toand especially a lot of rime .

Fundraising/ 10 State F ever The '85 Falcon football squad generated excitement and enthusiasm unequaled by many prior St. Albert grid teams. And why not ? The young Falcon squad surprised many en route to an 8-2 campaign and a quarterfinal berth in the Iowa Class 2A playoffs. Leading this small group of Birds was Falcon Head Coach Marshall Scichilone. "If we were just a little more physical and had a few more players (the entire squad consisted of 36 individuals), we possibly could have won it all," said Scichilone. "Our offense couldn't have been stopped. It was one of the best-scoring offenses in the state." The Falcons faced Neola Tri-Center in the first round of the playoffs at Falcon Field. And behind a fantastic , energetic, and loud crowd, SA whipped the Trojans 20-3. When asked what won the game for \ us, Scichilone said, "Defense. We had some big defensive plays that game, and we didn't fold when we got behind early. There 's no doubt our previous playoff experience and home crowd helped us win that game." St. Albert then travelled down to Clarinda to take on the powerful and explosive Cardinals. But this sunny Saturday afternoon was for the birds. Not our Birds, but instead, for the Clarinda Cardinals. Outnumbered, outsized, and outplayed, the Falcons' air attack could not get untracked in the early-going, and they had to play catch-up the entire game. This took the Birds away from their previous game plan, and handed them only their second defeat of the season. Scichilone summed up the season by saying, "This truly was a great bunch of kids. The entire ream continually worked hard, and everyone had a lot of fun. " 1986 Varsity Fo }1m Free Otbal/ team R '< Col man, Doug Rew ow 1 Steve Marr p1trs. Row 3 T' .

A cold, dreary January 28 is a day that will be remembered for a long time. It marked an end to 25 years of reliable missions by NASA, the end of seven lives, and the loss of the space shuttle Challenger. On board were Gregory D. J arvis, Ronald E. McNair, Ellison S. Onizuka, Judith Resnik, Commander Francis R. Scobee, and co-pilot Michael]. Smith. With them was Christa McAuliffe, a teacher from Concord, who was to be the first civilian in space. NASA and a presidential investigation both focused blame for explosion on a fatal o-ring "burn through." 0-rings, which seal the segments of the solid rocket booster, were damaged by cold temperatures in Florida that morning. A super-heated blast that should have been directed downward and toward the external fuel rank, caused the explosion. As news of the disaster spread, a large group of SA student and teachers gathered in the library, spellbound by the media coverage and the repeated playbacks of the explosion, and the incredulous expressions shown on the fa ces of the families, friends and well-wishers who had all been there to see the launch. By lunchtime the entire school had heard the news, and prayers were offered over the intercom, hoping for survivors and asking for strength for their families. In the days that followed , American flags flew at half-mast, a constant reminder of the Tuesday tragedy. Replacements at NASA in launch confirmation and mission control vowed to not let anything like this happen again, but the space program will continue. As President Reagan said in a speech following the fatal mishap, "The future doesn't belong to the faint-hearted. It belongs to the brave."

Terrorism The Line Of Death Reagan Fights Back "Well , M oammar, this is mo re fun than Electronic Battl eship, don't you think?" 124/0ur Special Times Terro rist attempts were stepped up throug ho ut th e wo rld ever since the United States bombed Tripoli, the capital of Libya on April 14, 1986. President Reagan's reason for this action was because there was strong evidence that Libya was responsible fo r the bombing of a nig ht club in West Germany that kill ed an American soldier, and injured as man y as 50 others. Leader of Libya, Moamma r Khadafy, was not injured in the attack, but his adopted bab y daughter was al leged ly killed . Man y of America's a llies, such as France and Italy said they would not back up the United States' decision, nor"\vould France and Ital y all ow U.S. military aircra ft to fl y ove r th eir countries. Su rprisingly, othe r allies would have preferred an all-out attack on Libya. Thousands of people around the world, on th e other hand, protested the attack by burning American flags and other demonstrations in Britain, West Germany, Italy and Sweden. M any questions were raised daily by citizens of America and other countries as to th e necessity of bombing Libya, and c rossing Khadafy's "Line of Death ." (An imaginary line in the Gulf of Sidra that is ac tu all y int erna tiona l wate rs, but that Khadafy claims as Libya 's). Did we have the rig ht ro act in such a manner? Should any country a llow " bully" tactics of terrorists witho ut response' \Xlhy were innocent people killed' Will the bombing lead ro World Wa r IIP A poll was take n of ten stu dents at St. Albert. The students questioned repre - sented each grade. The question was, "Do you fe el that th e United States had the rig ht tO bomb Libya': Six said, "Yes," and fou r sa id , "No." Matt Mullin ·37 said, "Khadafy only understands vio lence, and this was the only way to express ro him that we're not going tO take it.J eanette Burke '86 said, "I feel a bomb was a little extreme, and I fee l if we go to wa r, we will lose." Laurie Nettles '86 said , "I think we had the rig ht tO show them that we wouldn't be pushed aro und , but it's a shame innocent people had to be killed for it. " Alicia M cCoy '87 sa id , "I think it was rig ht t0 rake the action tO prevent future te rrorism in the Middle East." There are no definiti ve answers tO terrorism.

" exclaims Steve Oberdin '89, in his freshman speech class. Community . . . Friends . .. Family . .. These words are often used and taken lightly in our everyday vocabulary. But everybody (who is anybody) knows that these words all have very special meanings "on the hill." St. AlbertJr./Sr. High School is a student body that considers each other G.C.F. (also known as Good Close Friends), and some would even consider each other part of their own family . Not only are students close to their peer group, but some students have developed close friendships with their teachers, too. Each individual class has developed its own unique, interesting qualities throughout the years. Some have more intellectual and academic qualities and abilities, whereas, others may have more character and humor in their style. AU in all, each class maintains high standards in everything they do, but like they say, "variety is the spice of life," and students at SA are living proof. 138/Cl asses • • • With Class (es) A few elite, yet eccentric sophomore, junior and senior students rake time o ut to pose for a wild-n-cra zy picture during Homecoming '85.

There are ath letes, acrors, writers, artists, and musicians. They are also a most fun-loving and social group. Teachers can attest ro the qualities above named, and humor is not ro be ove rl ooked. "Steve Oberdin is one of the most straightfaced comedians I have ever witnessed ," said Jeannette Schultz, freshman literature teache r. "He could make me laugh, even on a reall y bad day." "Troy Hemmingson is a neat person with the kind of personality that picks you up when you are down ," said Bonnie Ficek '87. That can also be said of many others of the Class of '89. They are also talkative. Ju st about anywhere you find them. they are busy conversing about this, that, and whomever. " I ran inro a group of freshman girls at the movies one weekend," said Angel Howlett "87. "and all through the movie I could hear them whispenng. Involvement is another quality of this class of srudenrs. They have made their mark in fine arts, athl etics and academics.

Most indicated that hig hlights fo r next yea r will be turning 16, learning ro dri ve , and making more fri ends.

O ver the years, the class of '87 has become known fo r its spirit and enthusiasm shown at games, dances, pep rallies, and yes, even in the halls. A prime example was the day of the boys' district basketball game against Red Oak. It was the end of the third lunch period, and as the bell rang there was a realistic attempt to mock the sound. The psuedo bell turned into the drumroll-like sound of -a-- cheer. While walking down the hall there was yelling, cheering, clapping, and bangi ng o n lockers. In other words, a lot of pep and enthusiasm was being released. And , of course, it was the junior guys who "threw together" and led the on-offic ial lunch-time rall y in the halls. Parries weren't the only claim tO fa me the junio r cl ass made, but they ce rtainly were at the top o f the list. And there was good reason fo r thinking about parries as being sy nonomous with the junior class. After all , in decent weather, which was anything but two inches o f ice an d fo ur inches of snow, there was a party almost eve ry weekend. What were they celebrating? Well, the fac t is, the class o f '87 would celebrate anything ... just so they parried together. Dan Murray and Barb Osborne show rheir enthusiasm for Algebra II.

Division Page / 5 Fired Up For Weekends Weekends are a time for students to break away from school and be with their friends. For junior Maureen O'Gara this is no exception. Maureen's weekend started with plan-making for the weekly Friday night football game. But no one can go to a game without proper nourishment, so a quick stop at the local Burger King became a necessity. Destination-football game, to cheer the victory-bound Falcons, and afterward a victory celebration at a popular pizza palace. Pizza is a must after all of that cheering! To keep things moving, the meeting was carried back to B. K. for more fries and more animated conversation with buddies. As hard as it is to believe, Taco Bell was the next stop! How can one person eat that much? "I like to hit all the restaurants," explained Maureen, "because someone always wants to eat, and because its fun to meet different people in each place . As fun as it was, however, it was time to head for the old homestead and call it a night. For many students, Saturday is the only day to catch a few extra "zzz' s", but there are those who have to work. Maureen's Saturday started at the comfortable hour of 9 :30 a .m. with a bowl of cereal and her favorite cartoons before reporting to Bishops Cafeteria for a four-hour stint."Working is okay. It's a way to get money for my weekend activities," said Maureen. A short nap after work helped prepare her for another big week-end adventure . After a tough decision about what exactly to do, Maureen left with friends to the new Mall of the Bluffs prior to a short cruise around town to see what was happening. A stop at Taco Bell was the finale before heading back home for a good sleep. Sunday was busy. Up at 7 :30a .m. for breakfast with the family and go to work again. After work, an hour at church and home for dinner, and homework became the priority as the day wound down. Maureen's story is pretty typical of most students. Weekends are a time to look forward to, to enjoy with friends, to get a little sleep, and after all other options are e liminated, to hit the homework. Very little changes from weekend to weekend, or from year to year for that matter. The names may change, but the story is basically the same. Weekends are special. Not always spectacular, perhaps, but special nevertheless. By the way, "Isn't it Friday yet?"

Student Life/ 7 Friends to Last a Lifetime "You mean so much to mefor you've been there through the good times and the bad, drying the tears and holdi~g back the lonelinessgiving me a friendly shoulder to lean on and enough smiles to last a lifetime." The choice of your friends depends on who you are . Just take a look at the Peanuts Gang. In your friends you find security and a feeling of safety like Linus and his blanket. Senior Barb Osborne said "I feel closest to my friends when we're alone just talking about life, our dreams and what we want to do ." The retreat we had this year was a time when we all felt especially close to our friends, and where we could talk to them about our feelings. Friends have fun together and they can act like themselves. Friends can cry together and they can let it all out. Friends acccept each other for what they are and can accept each others faults. Why else would Snoopy be friends with Woodstock? Snoopy is a stud and Woodstock is the ultimate nerd . Snoopy is athletic and can do everything, and Woodstock hasn't even passed his flying course . "If one of my friends is depressed, I'd try to cheer them up and let them know they're still my friend," said sophomore Tony Kruse . "Friends are the ones who are always there for you. Through the laughter and tears, a friend is there to give you support and make you smile. "I like being with my friends because they keep me company, and they're easy to talk to, and they show me the bright side of things when I'm feeling down." said Shari Hughes, freshman . Can you imagine not having anyone to pig out with a t the B.K. lounge, or not having anyone to go shopping with, or going to open gym by yourself? "My friends are so important to me . When I look back aft er high school, I'll always remember the fun we had ." said junior Beth Quigley.

The sta tue o f St. Al shows his "wild side" with headband and earring during Homecoming Wee k. Students at St. Albert have always been known for their enthusiasm and spirit at athletic functions, intra- school activites such as homecoming week, and other activities in the school. This past year on the hill was one filled with spirit of competitiveness, as well as spirit of togetherness. The week of the SA vs. AL football game was a prime example of both. The game was designated as the "Fish Bowl" by coach Marshall Scichilone, and the fans carried out the idea with such spirited chants as "Let's go fish" and "Fish Power." Another example of sharing a togetherness in each other was in the performance given by the Strategic Air Command Army Band "Nightwing" . Members of the student body danced to the rock and roll tunes that th e band played. On the last day of the all-school retreat in September, members of all classes came to the microphone to share their feelings about the retreat and how we should carry the togetherness idea out. In the spirit of the event, many of us pledged to work to keep this special spirit going a nd to find ways to remind everyone just what was accomplished at this event. In the many types of activities- students pa rticipated in, there a lways was a spirit of closeness and unity. Kate Witte's volleyball squad displayed the true essence of team unity. Throughout the season the team stayed together through the good games and the trying times. Senior Kris White said, "When we were down we came together and played as a team. Coach Witte helped too, just by being a friend after a bad game ." Perhaps the smallness of our school was a contributing factor to the spirit of St. Albert High School during the 1986- 87 year. Thus, when we belted out the old stand-by "WE'VE GOT SPIRIT YES WE DO!", the saying held a lot of truth. We showed the city, the community, and each other that throughout it all, we had spirit, and we LOVED IT! Dan Simon Student Life/ l l Messing With ' Make Up! Why do girls insist on wearing makeup? Some say that makeup enhances their beauty, while others say it disguises their faults. Whatever the reason, one must still wonder why . After much thought, I decided to give makeup a try. With the help of a friend, I made myself up with base, blush, eyeshadow, eyeliner, lipstick, and the like, and I was set for a night on the town with the girls. Well, not quite ready. I decided that I had better have a warm-up first, so I was off to the Crossroads for an afternoon of shopping. My excitement was growing as we drove down Dodge Street, but as we entered the parking lot, I was quickly losing my nerve and had second thoughts. I sat in the car hiding my face for about 15 minutes and decided to go for it. What did I have to lose but my honor and integrity? (and my reputation as a straight shooter). Perhaps I was a bit paranoid, but I felt that everyone was talking about me. I remember asking myself why I was doing this, and just exactly where I should draw the line on my dedicatoin to the journalism staff (If my grade depended on it, I doubt that I would have done the same thing for my Chemistry class). I walked into the mall with my head down, trying not to make eye contact with anyone and praying that I didn't see anybody I knew. As time passed though, I started to loosen up and play my role to the fullest. Funny though, I wasn't asked out on any dates. So the question remains, why do girls wear makeup? Senior Ann Leber said, " I wear makeup to make myself look better and cover up big ugly zits." Sally Eberhard, also a senior, seemed to agree. " If I walked around this school without any makeup on, I wouldn't be recognized as part of the human race." Do girls feel comfortable in public without makeup? Or do they feel "incomplete" if they don't wear it? I asked Donna Roane this question, and then asked her why she doesn't wear makeup . "I've never really felt the need to. I did wear it for prom though, and that's the only time I ever have . I only wore a little bit and you could hardly tell that I had any on." For the most part, the girls that I spoke to said that they did feel uncomfortable without it. That's where guys have the upper hand. We don't have to really worry about how " corra l pink", or "mauve" lipstick looks on us. (I wore mauve, and I don't think it really brought out the fullness of my lips). I realize that my little escapade isn't a va lid source of letting me know why girls wear makeup, but maybe Wendy Burg stated it best for a majority of the girls.

An important part of student life is often overlooked because it is so obvious and also because we take it for granted. It is the support of our families, and in particular, our parents. Parents not only played an important role at home, but also at school. They suported and advised us in school, taking an active interest in our everyday decisions. They became involved in curriculum, too, whether it was attending a school conference, assisting with our homework, or typing those last minute reports. They were always there for us. Parents also involved themselves with the lighter and more enjoyable part of school. They organized post prom parties, an auction fund raise,r and acted as chauffers to transport students to seminars and athletic events. As expected, parents we re our number one fans. There were always those special parents, that no matter what their busy schedules were, they would travel several miles to see their all- star in action. It was not uncommon on a cold, wintry Friday night to see several St. Albert parents huddled under blankets and umbrellas expressing their enthusiam for their offspring as well as the rest of the team. Senior, Donald Jabro said, "I think it gives you a boost to know that your parents are up in the stands. It helps to know they will root yo u on through the good times and the bad." Parents have the gre atest influence on our li ves. They sha re our defeats and sorrows, and celebrate our victories. St. Albert parents not only provide their children with a great Catholic education but instill in their children the will to succeed. Alicia McCoy Student Life/ 15 Dream Dances Need Dress Rehearsal Cinderella, while dancing around in her rags, dreamed of her prince and the night of the ball. She danced and dreamed for days and days, but her plans were almost hamp·ered by her wicked stepmother and sisters. Her fairy godmother stepped in and saved the day, however, and sent her off to the dance of her dreams, dressed in finery fit for a princess. All eyes turned toward Cinderella as she walked into the palace with her beautiful ballroom gown and glass slippers. Immediately, a gallant prince met her gaze, and swept her off her feet. They danced the night away until her curfew called, and then her night was at an end. Of course, St. Albert dances are not as extravagant as a ballroom dance (with the exception of prom), but we do prepare for our dances in a similar way. We all try on our new outfits and stand before the mirror many times before the big night, imagining how we will look. Girls may try a new hairstyle or a new way to do make-up. Guys might try a new cologne. We make plans for a special place to eat, and who we'll go with, and what we will do afterward. So in our own ways, we "dream" of the dance . The night of the dance comes, and we prepare to go . With our new outfits and careful way of getting ready on special occasions, we definitely look our best. We head to dinner and the dance . Afterward we party. The fun only has to end when we are too tired to do any more, there's nothing else to do, or as in Cinderella's case, we have a curfew. Although most of us won't live happily ever after because of one dance we will have a "ball", and we will trea~ sure memories that will last forever.

The excitement level was building and reached an unbelievable height as the long-awaited week began ... Students experienced various thoughts and emotions prior to the 1986-87 Homecoming event. Some worried about what to wear for class pictures while others were concentrating on finding a date for the dance. Additional students were diligently rummaging through closets and boxes in preparation for the homecoming activitiets. On Monday, the majority of the student body charmed the camera with their bright smiles while the senior class showed off their school pride and spirit by dressing in green and gold . The halls swarmed with sauntering cowboys and whooping Indians on Tuesday, Cowboys and Indians Da y. Wednesday marked the traditional Toga Day as students sampled old Roman life by swaddling themselves in sheets.

Decorating the cafeteria started Friday after school and was finishing Saturday afternoon. Again, the "dress casual code" was issued and was accepted pleasantly by the students, who were all clad in warm sweaters or similar attire . Though the dance floor was empty most of the night, when the clock struck between ten and ten-thirty, people began co.ming out of the cold, and the place started to heat up . "When everybody started coming in," said freshman Carrie Miller, "it was fun." So the dance proved to be a good, fun, final get-together for the students before they went off on Christmas break.

Tickets were sold prior to the dance. The festivities began at 9:00 p.m. and concluded at 12:00 Midnight. Coronation began at 10:30 with Dan Poole and Ann Leber crowned King and Queen. The Prom Court consisted of seniors Dave Koehler, John O'Conner, Stephanie Keefe, and Barb Osborne. The juniors on court were Cindy Petratis, Connie Ravlin, Amy Tobias, Sean Davis, Chris Hanafan, and Doug Rew. For the post-prom festivities, Roller Rena was rented from 12:30 a .m. to 2:00 a .m. for those who wanted to attend. Karen Birusingh said, "Roller skating was a good opportunity to get together with all of your friends and have a lot of fun ." From skating, the students went to St. Peters Church to engage in a night of intense gambling at Casino night. VCR's, t.v.'s, a radio, and money were given to the lucky persons whose names were drawn. The night wound down with mass held at 5:30 a .m.

Are we bored with them? How much do they really mean to us? For that matter, what do we really know about them? Notional Honor Society, for example, is an honor and a good reference for colleges. But, other than the induction ceremony, when else did we hear about the organization? And how about the newly formed NonUsers group? Did the group benefit its members? • A lot of what went on in these clubs and organzations went on behind scenes, and that information was worth looking into. Each club or organization had a purpose of its own, and attempted to become involved in activities worthy of recognition . The newly formed drama club and its trips to different performances around the area this year and the leadership club and its periodic "secret" workshops, (What went on behind closed doors anyway?) were examples of clubs "doing their thing." And what kind of commitment was involved in being a member of brain bowl? Were the participants all just a bunch of stereotypical "brains"? Lets hope not! In addition, we must not forget Quill and Scroll, a national honor society of journalism students who have gained exceptional recognition in their field. Although, as a small school, St. Albert had a limited number of clubs and organizations, most of them were involved in worthy activities. And whether they were locally formed by an eager staff member or a port of a larger national group, they were alive and well and carrying out a vital function in our school. It would therefore seem that a closer look at these special groups could improve the awareness of many. That is why we included them in DIMENSIONS. We hope you will be glad we did.

Clubs n' Classes/ 29 National Sports Simply Super Sports have always been a national pastime in the land of the free and home of the brave . An argument is unavoidable when it comes down to who is the best, but there were some outstanding teams that would certainly qualify in the '86 and '87 season. In baseball, it was the American League series with Boston vs. California. Boston had to fight back for a 3-1 game deficit to win 4-3. The National league series was the New York Mets vs. Houston. The series was tied 2-2 when the Mets won the next two, both in extra innings with a score of 4-3. The World Series came down to a seventh and deciding game at Shea Stadium. The Red Sox and the Mets battled it out with the Mets holding on to win 8-5 after a three-run rally on a Ray Knight home run. College football had a classic meeting this year, as the top two teams, Penn State and Miami, squared off in the Fiesta Bowl. The score was tied at 7 at the half, but going into the fourth quarter, Miami kicked a 38-yard field goal for a 10-3 lead. Penn State came back, however, on a D.J. Dozier 6-yard run for a 14-10 victory. Back on the pro circuit, Super Bowl XXI came down to the AFC Denver Broncos and the NFC New York Giants. The first half was close until the Giants tackled quarterback John Elway in the end zone for a safety, turning the momentum to the Giants. In the third quarter the Giants took full control scoring MILLARD 30/Clubs and Cla?ses 17 unanswe red points. The game ended with the score Gia nts 39 Broncos 20. Most Valuable Player went to Giants' quarterback Phil Simms who threw a Super Bowl record 22-25 passes. The Final Four field was made up of Indiana, UNLV, Providence and Syracuse . The first game in New Orleans, Superdome UNVL lost to the Hoosiers 97-93. The second game was between two Big East schools Providence and Syracuse, with Syracuse taking the win at 77-63 before a record crowd of 54,969. It was coach Bobby Knight's third National Championship. At half-time Indiana led 34-33. Syracuse was hounding guard Steve Alford in the last five minutes of the game when junior-Keith Smart took over, scoring 12 of the Hoosiers last 15 points. Indiana was down by one with 28 seconds left when he hit the last of his 21 points from the corner to win the National Championship 74-73. As DIMENSIONS was going to press, the big basketball shoot out was just beginning with The Lake rs downing the Celtics 126-113 in the first of the best-of-seven championship series for the NBA title .

Clubs n' Classes/ 33 A Gathering for Togetherness Retreat was not only a time for students to get away from the burden of completing homework asssignments, or studying for a chemistry test. It was a time to be with friends and find out more about themselves, Jesus and fellow students. Starting Monday, September 29, and continuing for four days, the entire high school gathered in the gym for retreat. Having the freshmen, sophomore, junior and senior classes together for the retreat was a change from past years when each grade participated separately. "It was a good experience, and it gave us a chance to know more about the older students," said freshman Adam Jones. On Monday, The Rev. Frank Palmer from All Saints Church in North Des Moines, helped prepare students for the mood of the days ahead. The first day was mainly to relax. So what is a better way to relax than to hit beach balls around? But this too, as all of the other activities, had 34/Closses and Clubs a purpose behind it. For inst a nce , on Tuesday the groups, which generally were about four to six people, took a piece of cardboard, string, buttons, cloth, and glue. Out of these, students created an image of God. Making our school a better place to be was one of the topics on Thursday. Groups wrote down three predominant problems and three good points about our school. The conclusion for the first two days was mass on Wednesday. It was highlighted by students receiving a letter from thel1 I-' rents. Just the opposite was done for Thursday's mass when students sent letters back to their parents. Senior, Ann Romano said she liked Thursday best. "The last song really brought the whole school together." The song, "Tea r Them Down", was introduced on the first day by George Kippley. At the final mass, everyone stood to sing it in a spirited and joyful way. Another special event at the last mass was that everyone recieved a prayer book and a necklace. Fr. Palmer said "The message that I wanted to get through, got through, and from this retreat, the St. Albert family will deepen." John Hassett summed up the retreat by saying, "Everybody became really close, and there was a lot of sharing." He added, "I feel the way others look and feel about me has changed." Even though some of the questions about God were more thought provoking than taking a chemistry test, and the students had to do everything "Chop,Chop," the expressions on most of the students' faces, as they came out of the gym on the final day of the retreat, were expressions of happiness. Dennis Christiansen 7 Billie Jo Suden, Cindy Persinger, Jaime Barnes, Mike Sorrell and Mrs. Simms (a parent volunt eer), work hard to produce their image o f God in a creative way.

Classes and Clubs/ 35 Math and Computer Classes Take . .. Bold New Steps Bold steps are what progress is made of, and SA moved surely into the computer age . Over the summer the math department claimed the wrestling room as the new computer lab, and rennovation was nearly complete for the start of fall classes. The lab holding 15 computers and four printers, provided teachers and students the opportunity to learn basic skills. Junior high students used the lab for six weeks to learn basic computer skills and some data processing. Typing II and Ill classes also used it for data processing and term papers. English, journalism and business classes also worked on the new equipment. SA students weren't the only one's making use of the comput ers. A group of AL students a ttended a computer class taught by Scott Belt, because AL did not off er it. Calculus was offered at St. Albert rather than at AL, and was taught by Konnie Wiegman. "If you are going to teach an advanced math pro gram then you should have the classes offered here," said Weigman. Only seven students are in the course this year, but the number is expected to increase to 15 within tw o.-ya~f"-s. If bold steps ore wha t progress is made of, then St. Albert should be at the head of the class. Nancy McPa rtlond An AL student works diligently at a computer in the business office.

The first week in March marked National Foreign Language Week. To celebrate, Wuanita Printy, the Espanol teacher, and her students donned their newly arrived Spanish logo tee-shirts and sweat shirts on the first day of the week. A spanish food day was held in the middle of the week. Students made tacos, nachos, and enchiladas. To one anonymous student the food day was "better than sitting in class." The next couple of days were spent playing Spanish games and singing cultural songs.

Doug Schlautman quietly concentrates on his assignment in fre shman English class. This year there was a big question about the direction of the drama department at St. Albert. There was a change in the teaching staff, as a third teacher in three years was hired. The drama instructor from the 1985- 1986 school year, Charlene Simmons, retired to become a mother and was replaced by Jacky Adams, long time drama teacher from Red O~k, Iowa . The question began to yield positive answers, however, and the first performance at St. Albert, FANTASKIKS, was a success. Adams said that it was a very positive experience, and that the kids were wonderful. Adams wanted to have a small show to get to know the students better. Because there were only 15 students, four boys and 11 girls, who tried out for the play, one part that was originally a male part had to be changed to a female part because of the disproportionate ratio. Numbers posed another problem. In previous years, drama class was offered, but this school year it was omitted from the schedule. Adams said that the administration did not want a class of nine, even though there were only six students in calculus and approximately only ten students who go out for a varsity sport. Dr. Michael Avise said that the administration was concentrating on academic classes that would help seniors graduate and drama class was not one of them. Adams' goals for the school year were to build the depa rtment, and afte r four or five years she hoped to reach at least 200 kids in one performance. Adams said that St. Albert should have a drama class which she would call "basic theater arts." In this class the student would not only learn how to act on stage, but would also learn about props, make-up, costumes and other backstage tasks. There was a definite attitude problem concerning drama among the students at SA. Freshman Jenyi Knudson said, "Kid's think it's not cool to go out for plays." . " Jason Sprinkel, a sophomore, agrees with Knudson. Students a ro und St. Albert don't go out for plays because they might think it'll embarrass them, or because they think it's not fun, or maybe just a waste of time ," Sprinkel said . . On the other hand, Julie Gubbles, senior and a member of the FANTASTIKS cast said she goes out for the plays because " they're fun and you get to be redlly close to the other members of the cast." Matt Fenner, sophomore, goes out for the plays for a different reason . Fenner said, "It's enjoyable and it's a way to express myself. It's 0 challange t make people believe the character. 0 Sophmore Matt Konz, "d "Th soi ere a~e people who like performing in plays and having 0 drama class would give them this opportunity to act." Adams accomplished one of her goals this year. A drama club was formed . Members elected as officers were Barb Osborne, president; Melissa Stidham, vice-president; and Julie Gubbles, secretary-treasurer. The club chose the name "Camelions", and was active in having fund raisers. The students held a bake sale and recieved $58. l O. Adams said "the more visibility-the stronger the department. " They were hoping to get a lot more publicity for the drama department. Attitudes do change, and in future years there are going to be many changes at SA. Adams claimed that "success breeds success" and that means there should be more interest from the student body a nd others aro und SA. In the meantime , as the old saying goes, "The show must go II II on .. Cindy Persinger Clubs n' Classes/ 41 Elected representatives become - Student Directors Student council is elected to represent the student body, and to work with faculty and administration on va rious projects. Its duties include homecoming week which includes pla nning the dance, pep rally, and daily activites. This year's student council a lso pla nned a sucessful food drive, charging admission of one canned good to the pep rally. A spirit chain was fo rmed by each cla ss to raise money for the United Way. Money was collected during homcoming week and was won by the sophomore class. The members of student council are elected in the spring prior to their service year, except for the freshmen who are elected the year of their service. Junior Christian Jones said, "I like student council because we are always doing things fo r the school. " Brian Ratigan, a sophomore said that he liked to be a part of the planning activities. As with any elec e position, there is frequently controversy over who gets elected. Some charge that student council has become a popularity contest, while others maintain that involved people are often those who are well-liked by their peers, and that student council is a natural organization for them. The important issue, howeve r, is that those who serve on student council work for the betterment of the school.This year's group was an example of how well the system worked.

George Kippley, S.A. band and choir teacher, said it "trips his trigger" to see students really get into their music. And that's exactly what's happened since Kippley joined the SA family . Promoting musical enthusiasm was one of his goals, and it was evident that his goal became a reality. Senior Tim Fields said, "Kippley is a definite inspiration to the music program." Junior Jon Larsen added, "All the free time I had was dedicated to practicing my clarinet. It was worth it!" With events such as the Nebraska Centenial Conference Band Clinic, as well as the NCC Choral Clinic, Kippley had a worthwhile program for his classes. The agenda for the band included events such as a performance at Mercy Hospital, the NCC Band Clinic, UNO Honor Band, SWIBA Honor Band, All City Honor Band, the solo and ensemble contest in Atlantic, and the annual Christmas concert. Concert choir and swing choir were also kept busy with performances at the St. Albert Feast Day Mass, the NCC Choral Clinic, the All Cit y Festival, SWIBA Choral Clinic, the solo and ensemble contest in Atlantic, and the Christmas concert. Involved in the All City Festival was M olly Hannan who said, "I met a lot of interesting people and grew to appreciate music a lot more due to all of the hours of practice that I put in!" One addition Kippley would lik e t o concert choir is more people, although he was content with the care, concern and responsib'rtity that he saw in this year's student s.

The Fantasy • 1n The bell marking the beginning of 02 rang. Already students in the beginning journalism class were in their seats and had begun their work. No tardies for this illustrious group of over-achievers. Doing individual assignments, drawing layouts, writing copy, taking photos on assignment, and fitting photos into their layouts kept staffers busy. Meanwhile, advisor, Jeannette Schultz calmly helped a student, while others waited patiently and quietly in line for her assistance . To aid her, Schultz had several little advanced journalism "helpers" who came in during their study hall to lend a hand in what they took great pride in-journalism. If perchance a visitor were to have come and observed the class, he would no doubt have become a victim of boredom due to the silence of working students. Or perha ps, if he were an "apple-polisher" of old, he would have greatly admired the serenity that comes from watching people hard at work. He would have noted the softly played gospel hymns in the background. And if talking did occur, it was a n inquiring low mumble, so a s not to disturb the others. Visiting, homework, or sleeping were as rare as Ha lley) co et.

Big Results Jeannette Schultz's seventh period advanced journalism class may not have been very large, but what it lacked in size, it made up in production. The class, which consisted of only 11 students, all of whom were seniors, was anxious to begin work with the school newspaper and yearbook. Drastic changes were seen in the format of the newspaper, as well as the new "art deco" style of the yearbook. New ideas and themes for the pubIi cations began long before the school year had even started, as editors Dan Simon and Chris Slater, along with Schultz, attended journalism camp at Northwest Missouri State University in Maryville, Missouri. While at camp, they learned modern techniques and new trends used in journalism throughout the country. Other ideas for the yearbook and newspaper were tossed around during intense brainstorming sessions between the advanced and beginning classes. The staff members also worked on the publications as they attended "work nights" every Monday evening. "Work nights tend to be a zoo, but they are usually productive," Schultz said. "They frazzle my nerves. I yell, I scream, I threaten, and I go home feeling guilty. Sometimes I think there has got to be an easier way to make a living!" "For me, work nights served as another excuse to get out of the house on a Monday," said Matt Mullin. Others agreed but noted that the extra time was necessary in order to get the work done. "There just isn't enough time to do your work in a single class period," added Mullin. The staff had mixed feelings about work nights. Each member of the staff worked hard and many put in extra hours during study halls and after school. In the end, the hard work paid off and left the 11 seniors with something to remember, along with a feeling of pride and accomplishment.

Students also worked with yeast and meats. Two of her five years in teaching have been at St. Albert. Foods and homemaking classes aren't fun and games. Hegwood goes grocery shopping once a week to buy food for labs. But, students not only learn to cook, they also have to take a lot of notes. "The notes are boring but once you start cooking it's fun, especially when your projects turn out," said senior Mark Heenan. Heenan also commented, "It's a valuable class because once you get on your own, you've got to cook for yourself." A controversy erupted this year over the elimination of the course since it is not a college preparatory class. Many students agreed that it shouldn't be terminated because it showed them good nutrition and taught them how to cook. It was the general consensus that it provided a basic life skill and it is the responsibility of educators to provide more than an education to college-bound students. For many there is life beyond the classroom. Unfortunately it wasn't up to the students to decide. Bonnie Ficek Senior Mark Heenan likes to cook and thinks the apron looks smashing on him.

But education isn't limited to just SA courses. Several students took outside classes to pursue other academic interests. These courses included cosmotology, building construction, auto mechanics (IWCC) , advanced chemistry, math analysis (AU, and driver's education (Tee Jay). The commuting students had different outlooks on attending classes in a public school. "I didn't really like going to AL everyday, but it was a great excuse to skip class," senior Matt Johnson confesses. Senior Maureen Daly confides, "At first I thought AL would be terrible but the people ended up to be very . ,, nice . "When I went to Tee Jay for driver's education, I felt out of place because I was wearing a uniform and everyone else was in grubs," says junior Sean Davis. Because St. Albert students attended classes in the public school district, they had a broader base for education and gained valuable experience outside of the regular SA atmosphere . Tina DeChant Clubs 'n Classes/ 53 Making it in the world means . .. Getting Down To Business The business world is always changing and the business department at St. Albert changes too. One change this year was the addition of Loren Litner to the St. Albert staff. Litner teaches typing, business law, business calculations, and accounting I and II. Many students take accounting and find it a valuable class. Junior Maureen O'Gara said, "I plan to be an accountant and it (accounting) will help me to understand college courses." Jonna Anderson also teaches typing . This year instead of using only traditional typewriters, students expanded th~ir skills to the word processor. Many found the word processor more effecient and easier to use . " I like working in the computer room, it's a lot easier," said junior Kathy Alfers. Economics is taught by Dick W ettengel is another course offered through the business department. One of Wettengel's classes this year had the opportunity to participate in the Junior Acheivement Applied Economics course . This class concentrated more on theory economics rather than consumer economics. Students set up their own company, elected officers, and sold stock. At the end of the semester they closed their company having gained first-hand experience on how the American economic system works. With so many young people going into business and business related fields, a current program stressing understanding of those many areas is essential.

Clubs n' Classes/ 55 PE and Art students participate in demonstrating Artistic Vision Anyone who has taken an art or crafts class at SA, knows Deb McGuire, a nineyear veteran teacher at the school. Her philosophy was demonstrated by her bulletin board which read, "Its not what you can draw, paint and re-create from other work. Artistic vision deals with the way and person can dream, imagine, or create, show their 'true colors."' "I have a very special group of juniors and seniors that have been a success story for me," she said. "Having a group of kids so special makes teaching worthwhile ." And its a mutual admiration. McGuire has long been a favorite teacher with many SA students. If drawing, painting, and re-creating wasn't your art, however, maybe it was athletics-basketball, football or softball. Or maybe bowling was your cup of tea. Bowling became a favorite P.E. activity, and one of the instructors spending a lot of time at the bowling alley was a newcomer to the physical education department, Kathy Beckman. "I like teaching at St. Albert, the kids are great," Beckman said. "I would like to get some new activites going, introducing them to new games such as racket ball, pillo polo, deck tennis and scooter games." There was also a new habit formed, which while not an art, certainly took initiative . That habit was kids saving pop cans. They collected them for Beckman, and she turned them in for money to be used for purchasing new e quipment. It was a worthwhile venture and although it involved a little time it was successful. So, whether you were a Michaelangelo, a Magic Johnson, or a collector of cans, art was a talent which showed your abilites-your artistic vision in '87.

Library There is more to a library than would meet the eye of the ordinary novice user. The total usability of the library isn't just limited to book reports, and term papers. It can also be used to find a book to read liesurly, or just to mull through the shelves and spend a quiet moment or two . Keeping the library in top condition is also .. a part of the story, however, and with the limited funds of a private school, that can be a thorny problem. This year was no exception. Maryann Angeroth, 14-year veteran librarian , had the difficult task of keeping the library up to date and in good order. The work at hand for Angeroth varied a lot from organizing the budget for the library and weeding books to deciding appropriate use of donated books. Organizing the budget was one of the most difficult jobs according to Angeroth. She had to decide which magazines would be most helpful for the school to have, and yet stay within the $1 ,000 budget for magazines. She then chose books for purchase, including new encyclopedias every two years. Angeroth described "weeding" as the process of deciding which books to keep and which to throw out, based upon how often they were checked out over a period of time. If a book was not checked out in 10 years, it was disposed of, except for the classics, Angeroth explained. Even with her effort, though, Angeroth relied on the help of the library aides, whose jobs included typing catalog cards, checking out books and magazines to students, and putting books away when returned . There were the usual problems of missing books and late returns, which always impact the budget. Such a frustrating problem requires a definite solution, but as is the normal response to such a solution, the problem of money is at the forefront of any discussion . Responsibility on the part of the students continued to be encouraged, and periodic pleas for their return was a part of the communication process, until a more effective method is impl emented. Overall, however, the library, with the help of Angeroth a nd the a ides, provided a positive a nd benefi cial dimension to the academic program of St. Albert.

Clubs and Classes/ 59 The Fantastic FANTASTIKS Eight-thirty p.m., November 7, 1986 the crew THE FANTASTIKS loaded up their props and headed down the aisles of the St. Albert auditorium for the opening night performance of THE FANTASTIKS. The stage and auditorium were dimly lit as the prop-laden crew on their way to the stage conversed with the audience . THE FANT ASTIKS was staged as a play within a play. The crew of THE FANTASTIKS entered to set up the stage for the performance . Commencement of the play was symbolized with a toss-up of multibright colored triangles by two mutes in the play; Andrea Leggio and Jennifer Thompson. Using a creative twist, the mutes doubled as stage hands in full view of the theater audience . Melissa Stidham and Bill Smyth played the roles of two young people, Luisa and Matt, who fell in love. Their mothers, Bellomy (Barbara Osborne), Hucklebee (Julie Gubbles), wanted their offspring to be married. Unaware of their children's love for each other they secretly plotted to unite them. Their first attempt was spoken of in the song, " Just say No!!" The mothers sing of their awareness that kids always seem to do what they're told not to. So they built a 'wall' and informed the children they are not to have contact with anyone of the other's family on the other side. Luisa and Matt become ve ry agitated as the mothers remain in the dark about the ir love . Eventually Huck and Bell, with the help of vill ian, El Gallo, (Troy Hemmingson), Henry and Mortimer, (Matt Fenner and Tom Smyth) a scene was arranged by the mothe rs that would set Matt against El Gall o, Henry, and Mor60/Clubs n' Classes timor. Matt was to e volve the hero so Luisa would fall in love with him. The mothers never considered that Luisa would instead fall in love with the mysterious villian. But, El Gallo being a hired accomplice, breaks her heart and leaves her. Her true love Matt however, comes to her side a~d the; are again together. The mothers, now aware of their love , take full credit! "It was a ve ry interesting pla y," commented Mary Ann Poole, St. Albert study hall supervisor and SA parent. "For its sophisti cated plot I think it was awfully difficult for amateur actors, but the cast handled their parts well," she said. "I especially enjoyed the two mothers, a nd I think it would be fun to see the musiccal performed with a professio nal cast." THE FANT ASTIKS was the first performance at SA directed by Jacky Adams. "I felt it was fun and successful," she said. "It was a good start for a great year and a grea t program." George Kippley was musical director. Instrumentalists included Kendra Sprain, piano; Ka y Kaiser, ha rp; Ri ch Williams, Trombone; Tim Fields, pe rcussion; and choreography Julie Gubbles. "The cast wasn't quantity but was quality," said Kippley. "They sure were fun to work with ." Deb Rawlings also contributed much of her time a s student director.

The difference was the addition of so many new faces involved in the department. To start off Act II of this wonderful world of theater many underclassman were recruited to participate in district small group and individual speech contest held on January 24 and February 28. To advance to the state level competition held on February 7 and January 24, a I rating was required. The only performance that received that rating was a cutting of the fall performance of THE FANT AS Tl KS featuring sophomores Troy Hemmingsen and Peggy McGinn. The duo received a If rating on March 21 . " It was great to be able to go to state as a sophomore," said Hemmingsen. One performance receiving a II rating was 12 POUND LOOK, a play taking place in the l 930's. The ma le lead, Sir Harry, was played by junior Chuck Thorn. His first wife Kate was played by freshman Shelly O'Brien. Sir Harry was a we ll-to-do p ompous male who lost Ka te , because of his egotistism and igno ra nce .

"I was flabbergasted to have the opportunity to work with such an endea ring group of people," said lead male Chuck Thorn, "I enjoyed myself immensely." Director Jack ie Adams added, " The learning experience seemed more valuable than the rating. I was really pleased with the involvement." Also receiving a II was WHO AM I THIS TIME? with roles played by senior Bill Smyth, sophomore Troy Hemmingsen, and freshmen Jen Brown, Shelly O'Brien, Jennifer Thompson, And rea Leggio, Paulette Chullino, a nd Kem Kavars.

The cast was largely underclassmen with only one senior. The main characters were Abby and Martha Brewster, played by junior Nancy McPartland and sophomore Laurie Coats. They played the parts of two victorian aunts who killed lonely old men to put them out of their misery. Nephews Mortimor, Teddy, and Jonathan, were played by sophomores Troy Hemmingsen, and Matt Fenner, and junior Jeff Howard . Mortimor, a play critic, discovered the aunts "little hobby", and was afraid that he would be next in line . Teddy believed he was Teddy Roosevelt and spent much of his time charging up the stairs believing them to be San Juan Hill. By the end of the story, Teddy's term in office was over and he was taken to Happy Dale Sanitarium. Jonathan, the black sheep of the family, traveled with surgeon, Dr. Einstein, played by freshman Adam Jones. Jonathan killed people for their money, then Dr. Einstein gave him a new face so he wouldn't be recognized. Elaine Harper, played by sophomore Peggy McGinn, is Mortimors fiance ', who, because of Mortimore becomes involved in the scandal.The remaining cast members are Bill Smyth, Mark Shea, Bryan Brabec, Chris Morton, Tom Smyth and Jaime Barnes. The ARSENIC played to a good house for both performances. Lead role McPartland said, "It was a definite challenge," she said, "and I was surprised and pleased at the outcome of the audience ."

It was with the help of this support that they could attain the goals that they had set for themselves. Why were they able to achieve this success? Many of the sportswriters, or "critics" proclaimed that it was the unity of the St. Albert teams. There weren't any superstars to take the leading role, just a supporting cast that worked together - on cue.

Positive Endi g The varsity gridders got off to a rough start in the '86 season by losing their first game in double overtime to cross-town rival Tee Jay . "The loss to Tee Jay was definitely the toughest loss of the season because we had worked so hard in prepa ration for the game," said senior Don Jabro ."Even though they're a much bigger school than we are, we thought we would come out with the win," he said. They came back tough two weeks later, however, beating Abe Lynx 7-0. Costly mistakes against Tee Jay and Boystown plagued the team and ultimately kept them out of post-season play. "We accomplished quite a lot this season but we came up a couple of games short, said head coach Marshall Schicilone. "We made some mista kes and lost." The Falcons put together some pretty impressive stats for the "86" seaso n. Fo r e x ample, the team scored twice as many points as their opponents, scoring 202 points and giving up 101.

Valley cancelled JV I Frosh Football Mew Falcons Look Promising With the JV winning only one out of five games, one would wonder if the coach was pleased with t he way things went. First year coach, Dick Wettengel, said that winning wasn't stressed as much as individual improvement. From that standpoint then, he should have been happy. With such a talented corps as sophomore Brian O'Connor at quarterback, Trent Holmburg, sophomore, a t tailback, pacing the offense, and junior Joe Turner's awsome defense, the junior Falcons have a bright future . Midway threw the season, Brian O'Connor went out with a broken wrist. Junior Mark Lookabill came in and led the JV' ers against Ronca Iii, in o ne of their finer games, according to Coach Wettengel. "Corky threw a couple of lon g pa sses t o (Do ug) Rew," he said . "That got us down near the goal, but we just couldn't score." The freshman squad came into the season with a new coach and new ideas. The team compil ed a 4 and 3 record under Loren Litner, with their best win coming at Tri-Center 25 to 13. Why was this their best win? Coach Litner said the offense really came together and they played well. With the help of Al Leber, the "cocoach", the team stressed a power football game .

In the opening game the Saintes pulled together to win an intense match over Lewis Central. The match lasted five games, but the unity the Saintes had, combined with the conditioning they had gone through made it possible for the Saintes to come out ahead. "It was the most important game of my volleyball career because we finally beat Lewis Central after losing for three years," said senior Joelle Corbaley. In the next few matches the Saintes had impressive wins over schools including Missouri Valley and Cathedral. Then came the Atlantic tournament when the Saintes fell back to their old ways. However, they did make it out of pool play but then lost to Denison in the semi-finals. They came back to win over Harlan and place third all around. The rest of the season swept by in a flurry of hard-won victories over teams such as Holy Name, Glenwood, St. Joseph, and Underwood. "We worked well as a team and had a lot of fun," said senior Nancy Smith commenting on the season. When the season was finally over, the Saintes left with a 12-0 dual record and memories of their best season ever. " But what will the team be like next year?" was the question many people asked. Of the ten varsity Saintes six were seniors and left the te am. When the six seniors left, they took with them more than their volleyba ll skill and ability, they took their team leadership and unity which was so much a part of the '86 season.

The Saintes didn't begin the season as they hoped, being defeated in a three-game match against Lewis Central. However, the Saintes couldn't be kept down, and came back the following week to win against Missouri Valley. The rest of the-season followed the same pattern; one game an intense victory, the next a heart-breaking defeat. "If we play with more t eam unity and especially more team spirit, next year we can look forward to an even better season," said Karla Miller. At the end of the season, the JV Saintes really showed their style at the Abraham Lincoln junior varsity tournament. SA started out slow, losing two games to Griswold, but then came back to win the next four games, putting them into the semi-finals.

Coach Mike Kavars instigated a new mental exercise for the team to improve concentration and confidence in team unity. The idea was called " thought of the day." During practices Kavars or Dick Wettengel grilled a player on what the thought was. If he didn't know, the team ran. Because of the Falcons' up and down season, it was difficult to det ermine whether or not the thoughts helped . But, the 'ups' included a 16-4 finish . Big wins during the Nebraska Centennial Conference Championship were over St. Joseph, Fremont Be rgan, and Columbus Scotus fo r the crown. Thoughts were not on the conference tournament the night of Februa ry 8, however, as the Falcons lost to Atlantic without senior Larry Ratigan .

The Saintes started their season off on the right foot with a big win over Abraham Lincoln, but they suffered a big disappointment with a loss against Thomas Jefferson in overtime a few days later. The Saintes did not have height, but they had a real sense of leadership coupled with aggressive play and quick movement, making up for their lack of size. The players suffered many injuries throughout the season. Stephanie Keefe and Alicia McCoy were both out for eight games because of a broken arm and a hurt shoulder, respectively. Maureen Wickham later went out for ten games with a broken finger. To have fun was one of the main goals for the Sair:ites' team, and they accomplished that. Other goals for the team were to win over half their games, which they came close to doing-finishing with an 8-l 0 record, shoot 60 % of their free throws and to work as a team.

The freshmen girls also fulfilled their duties on the 9th grade team by going an impressive 6-2. The freshmen Saintes were coached by Scott Belt who also helped the junior varsity. The saintes six wins were all by 14 at least points. The largest margin of victory was againest Abraham Lincoln in the season opener by 24.

Placing first in seven out of ten meets, the team sent nine events to state. So what was so special about this year? They acomplished all of this with a total of 14 athletes most of whom suffered injuries part 1 of the season. "What we did, with the number of people we had that were injured, was very satisfying," said coach John Shorey. Among the injured were Carrie Miller, Connie Ravilin and Jean Sillik. Both Jean and Carrie came back from their injuries to set school recordsJean in the 3000-meter run and Carrie in the 100-meter hurdles. Other record setters were Bonnie Ficek, discus, and Carrie Miller, Cindy Petratis, Jenny Holder, and Theresa Fischer in the shuttle hurdle relay. Coach Shorey said this year's team pulled together as well as any, and that everybody contributed. What makes these teams so good? Shorey thinks it's the tradition set by Coaches McMahaon and Skahill. "The girls want to be as good as those in the past, so they work harder," said Shorey. "They have a IQt of talent." But,even with the loss of Osborne, Ficek and Smith, next year's Saintes look to have another strong year.

Happy because, again, his team marked another great season posting a 6-4 record, sending people to state . Sad because at the end of the school year he was losing seniors Don Jabro, Chris Slater, Dave Koehler, Mark Petratis and John O'Conner. The team overall finished second in District. They went on to sub-state, beating Shenandoah 6- 3 but lost 6-0 to Atlantic. Coach West said it was a very satisfying season, also noting that he was proud of Koehler and Petratis on their accomplishments of going all the way to finish second in State doubles, missing the top mark by a tough loss to Sioux Falls in the finals. The team didn't have to compensate for many lost players from last year, Tom Eberhard was the only big loss. But with all five seniors leaving this year, the question is what to do next year. West said he has his eyes on Corey Schmida to come up and fill a spot, but that still leaves some spots open. Time will tell whether or not the team can recoup and build a strong team, but that wasn't worrying Coach West. He said, " Next year being as how we have a young team, emphasis is going to be on learning how to play, not really mattering about winning or losing."

Two seniors, Matt Johnson and Dan Simon did their usual outstanding job on the turf, but returning juniors were cause for excitement for the upcoming year. Sean Davis, John Miller and Bert Flack award winner Doug Struyk showed imp ressive and improving style at every match. Their dual record was 9-1, they won the L.C. tournament, missed the city title by one shot, and won conference at Columbus Scotus. On top of this, Struyk was runner-up medalist in sectionals with a winning score of 76. Tired of the same routine, Struyk took a week off a nd fl ew down to Orlando, Florida for a few rounds of golf at an annual golf camp . "About half the time we spent hitting balls at the range, a nd the other half we talked about game theory, and diff e rent shots, " said Struyk. "I had a great time, and I've already sta rted to ma ke plans a n going back ne xt year." Not making it to state was a big disappointment to the team, but they looked forward to all but two members returning. Scott Belt, golf coach said, "The saddest pa rt of the yea r was not ma king it to state . They just picked a bad day to play bad ." "They peaked early, and we had a good year, but we should be even better next year," added Belt.

At sectionals in Atlantic, junior Ronni Martin shot a 92 to lead the team. Miller, tallied a 114, Kathy Alfers 125, Amy Murray I 26, and Stacy Oberdin I 35. The team finished eighth overall. Martin won the individual crown at the City Tournament, as the other "Fob Four" helped to a third place position. Other tourney finishes included the AL Westwood Classic (third), the Tee Jay Invite (seventh). The final dual record of 5-2 reflected the strength in one-on-one competition.

Soccer-a habit you can't Kick Although it was the first year for boys soccer at SA, 1986-87 was a good year. The boys went undefeated making it to the finals before they were beaten 3-2. The girls had the advantage of beginning this season with one year experience under their belt, ending with a record of 4-7-1 . Ralston beat them in the first round of playoffs. Both soccer teams took honors, however, as they won the L. C. Challenge Cup Soccer Tournament and walked away with the first of many trophies to come. All of this glory was not met with enthusiasm, however. Soccer was the "new kid on the block," and there were those whose opinions were not positive. Some coaches thought socc'er would take participants from their sport, and weaken 98/Sports support. And there was skepticism as to whether it would become a school sport next year. Even though .... soccer was not a sanctioned school sport, the spirits of the players were not dampened . Sophomore Monica Wood said, "This was first year for me to play soccer, and I thought we did a great job for not having the support of the school. Plus t he c oa ch e s we re great!" Although support is slow in coming from school officials, there was always a crowd of parents cheering the Saintes and Falcons. To players a nd loya l fa ns, soccer is a valid addition to high school athletics. And judging from na tional enthusiasm, the ve rdict is in . . . Soccer is here to stay.

The Saintes softball season opened with the Dowling Tournament on Saturday, May 24, against Mason City, Neuman, winning with a score of 2-1 . In the second game the Saintes went against Storm Lake, St. Mary's losing 7-6. Although the Saintes did not return to the second day of the tournament it was a good start to the season. Three senior players returned for the 1987 season: Maureen Wickham, pitcher; Donna Roane, catcher; and Kris White, second basemen. Joining this talented trio, was junior Ronni Martin, shortstop. The remaining positions on the team were held by several promising freshmen and sophomore athletes. The 1987 Saintes softball season was enhanced by the skillful and consistent pitching of Wickham. She devoted numerous hours of practice time the past winter and spring to perfect her pitching skills. At the other end of the mound Maureen was joined by fourth-year veteran Donna Roane . Starting as shortstop, she switched to become catcher for the Saintes, demonstrating her versatility. The third member to the senior trio was Kris White . Kris playe d se cond base effectively throughout her softball career and in 1987 she also moved to help in the outfield.

That , change enabled participants in fall sports to try out for winter and spring cheerleading and vice versa. The new plan also resulted in a larger number of cheering enthusiasts in the program. Again this year, the change was met with opposition . Some believed that such a short participation time affected the interest level. The majority, however, said that it worked out well and they would like the selection process to continue . Last summer varsity football cheerleaders, led by captain Penny Ramirez and co-captain Stephanie Keefe attended the Iowa State Cheerleading Camp in Ames, Iowa . Participating were seniors Bonnie Ficek, Melanie Miller, Andrea Genereux, Joelle Corbaley, Kari Larsen, and Melissa Stidham; and juniors Connie Ravlin, Maureen O'Gara, Gina T olliver, and Dawn Rickard. This was a new experience for many but, as the girls gained experience, they also gained many new ideas to take back to St. Albert. The varsity football squad of twelve members dwindled to seven fo r both boys and girls varsity basketball. Maureen Daly, a senior thought that the reason for the drop-off was sports. "People went out fo r sports and their friends lost interest because it wouldn't be as fun without them, she said . "Whatever the reason, we could hove used more people in order to do bigger mounts and to be heard more easily during games." The cheerleaders' hard work and practice paid off in many ways, however. They showed spirit by hanging up numerous signs on players' lockers and brightened the halls with signs cheering on the whole team. Their spirit didn't go unnoticed or unappreciated . It promoted an atmosphere of school support and unity. Theresa Burkey ''I think having two tryouts are a good idea, but once you make it, you shouldn't have to try out again."

But does all of this hard work really pay off? Junior Amy Tobias said, "Its hard getting up, but it's worth it, going to camp and knowing that you are going to be good." While at camp the squad received the spirit stick, and superior performance ribbons for their efforts. Junior Beth Quigley was chosen as a celebrity nominee, which allowed her to tour Ireland and London along with other celebrity nominees from all over the United States.

I am writing this because I want to do everything within my power to help teenagers so they won't make the fatal mistakes I have made and end up facing what I have faced. I have made many mistakes in my life, but the ones I regret most are: The way I have treated my mother-I have the best mother in the world. She is caring, understanding and loves me very much. But most of all she is my best friend and someone I can turn to for anything. In the past I didn't realize the terrific things about her. I saw her as someone who didn't want me to have fun and was trying to run my life for no reason. I often rebelled, ignoring her decisions. Feeling I was smarter than her, I made her feel unloved unrespected and unsuccessful as a parent. This broke her heart and made her miserable. Another mistake was getting involved in drugs and alcohol- I start110/ M ini-mag ed out with drinking, and then smok - ing pot. I said I would never try anything besides pot, but after a while, you think you can control everything so you experiment to try and get a better high. I felt I could always control myself, when in fact, I lost control. As a result of that mistake I got involved with the wrong people. This started me to do things I never imagined I would ever do. Looking back on my life I realize that I had more opportunities than most. I had a girlfriend who loved me tremendously, a beautiful daughter and a loving family, including a special friend Skipp Starr. I know the things I could have done with my life but its too late when you're looking back. I always thought I could control my life but I forgot I was only 17. I thought life was about being carefree and having fun . I found out that life is about making decisions and being responsible for the consequ ences . Through my bad decisions I have A picture of Matt Gill and "big brother" Skip Starr is on display during a presentation of the "Matt Gill Story" to St. Albert students.

I will have to be away from the ones I love the most, and will be deprived of seeing my beautiful daughter grow up. Since the fatal night of August 15, when I took the life of Tim Sieff, I have had strong f eelings of guilt and sorrow, which I will have to struggle with for the rest of my life. Finding the Lord has brought a peace about me and given me an understanding of my real purpose in life. Even though what I face is very frightening and negative, I know with the help of God and stong determination, I can make it a posit ive experience and one that I can use in helping others for the rest of m y life. I hope from my situation, you will see that within a matter of minutes yo u can unknowingly make a decision that drastically changes your life.

During the fu- • Matt Gill (Used by permission) Teens In Trouble It's summertime in Council Bluffs. Schools are out, and parties are in abundance. But what happens when these parties take to the street? Well, most of them end up with people having a good time . But there are times when these parties turn to violence, such was the case on the night of August 16, 1986, when Timothy Charles Sieff was beaten to death by three teenagers and one adult. Even though this case was an extreme, the problems associated with Broadway and teenagers has been an ongoing problem for years. According to Sargeant Lindsey Andersen, 1986 was a more violent year than in the past because the fights involved weapons, such as bats and tire irons. The place where most of these conflicts might start is in a vacant parking lot situated next to Broadway. The typical brawl, as discribed by Sgt. Andersen, is when two kids get in a fight over a girl and they end up slugging it out. But once there is a victor, generally the group will break up and go their separate ways. This was not the case in the' death of Tim Sieff. In the parking lot of Rog and Scotty's, a local supermarket, Jeff Ragland, Robert Lamkins and Matt Gill, all 17 years old, and Royce Maloney, age 24, met up with Tim Sieff and a friend , This meeting ended up in a fight, and ultimately the death of Sieff, due to a brain hemmorage caused from a blow to the he ad from part of a tire jack. Where does the responsibility lie in starting to cha nge this problem? Sgt. Andersen believes it li es with the kids themselves and that they should realize that if they do something wrong they're going to have to pay the price . They don't seem to understand this, because in 1986, there were 16 ten-year-olds a nd under who were arrested for crimes ranging from run-awa ys a nd vandalism to larceny and burglary. There were 658 arrests of ki ds under the age of 18. Another example of this ongoing problem is the trial and conviction of the Harris brothers, Da niel B. anaBrad A. for the murder of 16-year-old Kristina Nelson. Dan Harris, 21 , was found guilty of first degree murder and his brother Bra d plea bargained to voluntary mansla ughter, which carries a mandatory sentence of t en years in prison and 10,000 dollar fine . The county medical examine r said t hat Ms. Nelson died of multiple stab wounds. She also was choked and was struck with a blunt object. Hopfully from the past ye ar's problems t here will be a new awareness of the problems we fa ce today. Cases like Matt Gill and the Harris brothers might make teenagers more aware that things like this can happen to them. Matt is presently serving a 50-year jail sentence for the murder of Timothy Sieff.

Approximately three-fourths of the victims of AIDS are sexually active homosexual men. l 12/ M ini-mag Plague of the '80' s . • • AIDS What started as a fatal disease rapidly grew into an epidemic across the country, AIDS became a focus of attention for people throughout the world. Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome was the topic of concern for thousands as the fatal disease quickly became one of the top death-causing illnesses known to man. Most definitely, the year 1986- 87 held a lot of meaning for the thousands of people afflicted with AIDS. AIDS is a disease that limits the body's ability to fight off certain infections. As a result, patients with AIDS develop rare skin diseases and rare skin cancer. Since 1979, about 12,000 cases of AIDS have been reported nationally. The symptoms of AIDS include unexplained weight loss, high fever that lasts more than a week, a persistent dry cough thal is not from smoking, white spots or blemishes in the mouth, persistent diarrhea, and purple spots under the skin. AIDS is caused by a virus that is spread through sexual contact, needle sharing. or through blood transfusions. Multiple sex partners, either heterosexual or homosexual, and sharing needles by drug users appear to make up the largest group of afflicted people. Since 1981, the Centers for Disease Control has been collecting information on AIDS. Approximately 95 percent of the persons with AIDS belong to one of the following groups: - 73 percent sexually active homosexual or bisexual men . -17 percent present or past abusers of intravenous drugs. -2 percent patients who have had transfusions with blood or blood products. -l percent persons with hemophilia or other coagulation disorders. -l percent heterosexuals who have had sexual contact with someone who has AIDS. -l percent infants born to infected mothers. There has been a case of AIDS reported in every state of the union, so it is obvious that AIDS is not confined to a certain geographical area . What the US government is billing as "Afica's Disease" is being billed as "America's Disease" in other parts of the world. Either wa y, one thing is for sure about this deadly disease : it's spreading and for right now, there is no cure. Until tha t cure is developed, thousands more each year will die from what researchers are calling "The 80's Plague." Tina DeChant and Dan Simon People who had blood transfusions in the late ?O's may also be susceptible to A IDS. Aids/ 113 Some of Iowa's . .. Laws The enacting of laws is intended to affect members of society, but some laws touch larger numbers of people and more profoundly than others. During the 1986-87 school year four laws were passed in Iowa which created more than usual discussion and controversy. Effective on July l was the seatbelt law. Drivers and front seat passengers are required to wear a halterstyle seatbelt while the vehicle is in motion. In Iowa, authorities use the primary enforcement rule, which means if a law officer sees a person not wearing a seatbelt, he may ticket that person solely for that reason. The fine is $2 l .50. Those questioning whether or not officers would actually stop drivers solely for that offense, found quickly that they did indeed . A law which affected the purchasing of liquor was put into effect on September l . That law, raising of the drinking age from J 9 to 2 l years old, was most controversial among young people . Though nineteenyear-olds born on or before that date were able to purchase it legally. The law was passed after the Federal Government threatened to cut off highway money from Iowa and other states unless they raised the legal drinking age to 21 . For the people who do a lot of traveling, the law changing the speed limit from 55 to 65 miles per hour on rural interstate highways was a welcome one . Translated, that means drivers can make better travel time on those stretches of roads outside cities 50,000 or larger. Tough watch is kept, however, on those who don't obey the limits, and Iowa State Patrol Troopers have been authorized to issue tickets to people traveling as little as one mile per hour over the limit. Also, fines have been increased from $30 to $40 for motorists found in violation. One law that was seriously overlooked locally was the helmet law, requiring cyclists to we ar a helmet. What brought attention to the proposed law in the Council Bluffs-Omaha area was the occurrance of ten motorcycle fat a lities during o ne weekend in the month of April. The question was raised, "How many of those deaths could have been a voided if helmets were worn? " Many people have different opinions about the laws, some positive and some negative . But laws were made for the safety a nd well being of all of us. It is doubtful, however, that anyone will thank any legislative body for their passage . Jeff Howard The Iowa law states that persons born o n or before September 1. 1967 may purchase beer and alcoholic beverages. Violators wll be prosecuted according to Iowa law.

For athletes who want to build up their bodies to the utmost, anabolic steroids may appear to be the chemical to give that little edge in competition. But those athletes who consume or inject steroids to build extra muscle power are damaging their bodies, and in some cases, irreversibly so. While on anabolic steroids a person may see increases in self-esteem, sex drive, appetite, explosive hostility and violence, energy, tolerance to pain and desire to train intensely. Steroids may also cause decreases in the following : ability to accept failure or poor performance, general tolerance, inhibition about further drug use. Som other changes may be noticed in sleeping disturbances and nightmares. Steroid use was made known to the wo~d after a scandal broke out in the 1983 Pan American Games in Corocus, Venezuela . Twelve athletes from eight countries were disqualified from the games after tests found they had taken anabolic steroids or testosterone. Twelve United States track and field athletes left the games rather than submit to the tests. "I've watched what was at first a 'secret' drug known only to a handful of elite weight lifters become a phenomenon so widespread that a majority of recent athletes, male and female, in track and field and the strength sports are believed to have used some form of st eroid," wrote fo rmer weight lifter Terry Todd. "(It is)- a phenomenon so wide-sprea d that pro football players ha ve told me that as many as fifty percent of the active NFL linemen and linebackers have used steroilds with the intent of improving their performance; a phenomenon so wide spread that reports surface from time to time of teen-agers being advised by their hi gh school, o r even junior high school coaches to take steroids," Todd added. St. Albert athletes were predicta bly non-committal about the use of steroids. It is a probability that, as in all high schools, steroid use has occurred. Proving that, or for that matter, even ta lking about the possibility is impossible. Off the record, however, some admit they beli eve t hat some athletes have tried steroids. Nobody really knows how many high school a thletes are using anabolic ste-roids, because no athlete will admit to using them. The punishment an athlete would be forced to take if found out, would be comple te expulsion from all athletic events fdor his entire high school career. And not athlete is willing to take this chance so a reporter could ha ve a gre a t article . Mark Heenan Lifting weights after taking steroids increases body mass.

It is not something we can pretend doesn't exist. It is real. Occult practices occur everyday in every city. We associate it with druggies and losers. In actuality, devil worshipers come from all different backgrounds. Some are sucesssful .. businessmen, teachers, doctors, college professors, students, housewives, and even a few preachers and priests. The ceremonies performed blasphimize Christians (especially Catholics). They offer sacrifices to Satan in exchange for superficial power. The followers of Satan sign their soul away to the devil- never to live in peace again . Mike Warnke, author of THE SAT AN SELLER, describes life in the occult. He once served as a high-priest in the Brotherhood but after being expelled, found and excepted Jesus into his life. He became involved with Satanism as a freshmen in college in San Bernardino, California . Dean a Master Counselor of the Brotherhood, recruited Mike into the first-stage of occult practice by taking him to an orgie party. Mike became interested in this "fun" and was led to the second-stage- the actual ceremony. He was aprehensive at first but became fascinated with the e xorcised demons and longed for the power that the devil gave his people . Because of his enthusiasm, Mike finally was initiated into the real thing- the third stage . Evil spells, solemn rites, and hard-core Satan worship happened here . Usually the rituals took place in remote, hidden areas. During the ceremony, people sat around a circle drawn on the ground with chalk. In the center of the circle was an altar- a granite slab supported on two sawhorses. On the slab, a nude girl lay on her back, her skin glowing red in the light given off by candles and the balefire burning in a nearby crucible . An inverted cross and an image of a goat's head steod at each end of the altar. The service was a Black Mass. All the Christian traditional rituals were reversed and deliberately profaned. The sacraments were desecrated. Blasp him i es took the place of prayers. At times, sacrifices were offered . When Mike became a high-priest, he asked one of the members to slice off his finger and it was passed to each person, each nibblilng a piece of the flesh and sucking the dripping blood. After many long months, Mike was expelled from the Satanist High Priesthood for members from the fouth-stage felt he was losing power. After given an overdose, he was dumped into a ditch . All of his wealthy belongings that were included with being a Satan worshipper were taken away. Mike Warnk e was on th e path back to regaining his life . He was re cruited into the Navy, whe re, by the help and love from his two roomates, became introduced to Jesus Christ. He prayed fo r fo rgiven ess a nd fa ith and later his wife Sue supported him and together they foun ded the Alpha Omega Outrea chan anti-occult ministry . Warnke was one of the few lucky ones. There are many people being introduced to the occult each day. Through our prayers and teachings, we can help terminate this horrifying epidemic in our country. Shockingly, the Satanic Bible outsells the Holy Bible two to one in most college towns, and a hundred to one in some places. The Ouija board has been a popular game across the Un ited States. The question is, is it bad or particularly harmful? Isa ac Fuld, who patented the Ouija board in 1892, stated in his patent application that the planchette 'was moved by a spirit force' . He told the truth. Any time a person invites a spirit to manipuilate him in any wa y, he is leaving himse lf wide open to demon activity. And toda y that 'game' has outsold the game of Mo nopoly. Warnke writes: " There is no one 'down the re" to le ad you out. Once you're in he ll, you've had it. That's it. Once you're there, it's too late . When you stop to think of foreve r ... when you stop to think of the torment of hell. . . In hell, there is no hope . You are going to b-e seperated from God forever. It is part of the payoff. You will hear the word " sucke r" as I heard it when I first joined the Na vy but there's no discharge from 'hell . You a re a sucker- fo reve r.

Omaha and Council Bluffs sow its shore of this grief when two years ago, four teenagers from on area high school took their own lives. Since then various agencies hove worked to help people in crisis situations. ,... February 25 1987, a workshop took place at St. Joseph's Center For Mental Health. It consisted of metro schools joining to show their concern for teenage suicide, and learning to prevent it. The St. Albert crisis intervention team was Dr. Michael Avise, Don Molloy, Jacky Adams, Gordon Ord, and Mory O'Donnel, and Jacqui Slater. During the day, the SA team was placed at different tables with members from various schools. Everyone had a chance to speak about the causes of suicide, and possible solutions. Participants learned what to do during a suicide or crisis. SA Counselor, Dan Malloy said," lt's good to see the schools concerned and involved." At the end of the all-day workshop, everyone hod a positive feeling, and they were anxious to share their new knowledge. "It's important to hove the crisis intervention team ready for any crisis that would come up," said Molloy. That was the sentiments of the whole SA team. A life is a precious commodity.

They eva luated not only the curriculm and materials used, but facility, activities, services, and policy. At the end of the visitation, recommendations we re given to the building principal. Implementation committees were formed t~ view priorities and a final plan was drawn. After se lf-study and visitatio ns, a follow-up plan was constructed. These plans were prepared every three years. Although it wa s a lot of hard work, both the commendations and recommenda tions were valuable in obtaining the sought after accreditation. The fac ulty and administration agreed it was a positive and worthwhile experience where not only the teacher and student benefit, but the whole community as well. Tina DeCha nt - ons Improve ) • 1ty •• •• Leadership Leadership workshops have been going on for about two years. The main purpose was to find positive solutions to problems of alcohol, drug, and sex abuse in our school and other schools across the country. Many activities that the participants are involved in go on unnoticed by the student body. The "positive peer" group went on a field trip to Salem church. The day was filled with many discussions on possible solutions to problems faced by teens. The group talked of different things to say when faced with the peer pressure to drink or take drugs. Junior Kathy Alfers summed up the day saying, "I had a good time at leadership workshop. The upperclassmen helped the younger kids, giving them realistic solutions. It's a good feeling to know that you had a part in helping another to solve a problem." Becky Ficek Ka thy Alfers and Joelle Corbaley take a break during the leadership worksho p. Saying "MO" With the start of the second half of the 1986-87 school year came the start of a new program called "Non-Users Group". The Non-Users group is made of high school students interested in supporting others who choose not to use alcohol or other drugs. The first meeting was held on March 6, with a surprising turn out of 91 students. Though curiosity may have been the reason for the unusually large turn-out, a feeling of progress and success was in the air for organizers. In order to give the group stability, a set of guidelines was set up by leader, Gordon Ord, father of senior Susan Ord. Included in the guidelines was the stipulation that in order to attend any other meetings the student had to be present for the first meeting. At the first meeting, no conditions were set, but by the second meeting students had to make the decision as to whether or not they would commit themselves to the group. That involved signing a four-week contract to not use drugs of any form. The purpose of the group was to receive a written commitment to abstain from using drugs, and to help group members cope with problems they would ha ve in doing so. Another topic discussed in the meetings was peer-pressure, both from friends and family. Students listened to each other and tried to give support in any way possible, whether it be advice, praise for not drinking, or encouragement. Success of the group was evaluated with mixed feelings. "I believe the group should be introduced at an earlier age," said senior Ka ri Larson. "Kids come in contact with drugs earlier now, and the group can help educate them so they know the facts and can make the right decision for themselves. I think that's the most important part," she added. Junior Jill Pender said, "It was a good idea, but it wasn't what I expected it was going to be. " With the help of Gordon Ord, peer counseling was present along with support and guidance. Sophomore Tammy Lesline reflected a different view, "I felt it was neat for people who have a hard time saying no /1 sh said. "The support and confidentiality of the grou~ give: a person more self confidence." The Non-Users group was a start at St. Albert in the fight against drug abuse . Hopefully for the future th ro~p will prove to be very helpful to the younger gen~ erat1ons. Barbara Osborne Mini-mag/ 121 ~A~~ fAfF f.

Styles today have come a long way, from poodle skirts, saddle shoes, and bellbottoms. The emphasis in 1987 was on the faded oversize look, imprinted with a big-name maker. Among those accepted, "cool" brand names were Pepe, Outback Red, Code Blue, Guess, Zodiac, 9-West, and Forenza among others. Some brand names even went so far as to attach feminine names to different styles, such as Pepe's Betty and Polly. Turtlenecks were back, lacy collars, reds and blues, and lots of pastels-pinks, blues, peaches, and greens, and shoes without socks. Brightly colored name brand scarves, and colored, textured hose were popular accessories. Gigantic earrings in gold and silver and chains varying in lengths, made up the "bangeled" look . Purses were as big as diaper bags or as small as a billfold, in a variety of colors. As girls' hair grew longer and curlier, the boys' got shorter and shorter. The "buzz," "Harvard cut," and bi-level over the ears with more length in back gave barbers cause for rejoicing . After an earlier failed attempt, French designers tried to bring back bell bottom pants. Their success was hard to measure at first, but opinions were not. Senior Ann Petersen said, "I for one can never see bellbottoms coming back, they are perfectly hidious." Mike Kavars, athletic director, commented, "I've lived lo ng enough to see fashion come in and go out and come back again. So hang on to your clothes,because even if they go out, they will be back again ." Kavars' advice was on target. Once a fad, always a fad .

"I drink to have a good time, although I don't have to," an anonymous St. Albert student said. "I don't feel pressure from my friends to drink, but when we all get together, I guess it just seems like the thing to do," the student continued. Teenage alcohol abuse is reaching epidemic proportions. As a result, many groups have evolved to combat the problem. At St. Albert, a non-user support group was developed, and they met weekly to discuss related problems. "I think the Non-Users Group has done a lot of good for some people," junior Rich Green said. Other groups, such as Mothers Against Drunk Drivers, (MADD), and Students Against Drunk Drivers, (SADD), are active nationwide to call attention to saving lives. Despite the efforts of these organizations, students continue to drink. Of 20 randomly polled St. Albe rt students, 17 said they drink. The results of the SA poll showed a high percentage of drinking students. Is this typical of a Catholic high school? Or is it the norm for hig h schools everywhere? Answe rs to these questions would provide a base for studies to solve the problems of teenage drinking . Students realize the dangers of excessive drinking, but like their adult counterparts, knowing and heeding are two different things. Every day, newspapers report accidents and deaths caused by drunk drivers, yet the drinking continues. An Omaha teen died as a result of excessive drinking at a party. As she dropped to the floor, her fri e nds laughed, not realizing she was dying. No one seems to register alarm until the news story hits close to home, and someone we know or love is involved . How long will this problem exist? More to the point-who will be hurt next? Chris Slater Drinking and dying go hand in hand.

Freshmen started at the bottom not knowing what to expect from high school. They accomplished so much with their enthusiasm and abilities, proving themselves again and again to the upperclassmen. They showed everyone they were ready for opening night-they made it through the first year. The sophomores, with a year experience, started where they left off, trying to top last year's performance. Learning from past mistakes, they made the most of a new year. Class rings and drivers license's started life in the fast lane. They had it made. Just one step away from being juniors. The juniors put on the prom, took ACT's and started in with college-prep courses. Underclassmen found the class of '88 could be trusted and looked up to. They were aware of the responsibility that was ahead. It was almost time to take over as seniors. It was the seniors that made the impression in 1987, however, excelling in everything they endeavored. It was the seniors that set the pace and made the rules for the games. They showed closeness and unity. They had the time of their lives. Applying to and selecting colleges, thinking of careers, and getting themselves ready for the real world. They had support and faith in each other that made them successful, and were the best of friends in the best of the classes.

Given the chance to play a part in the many activities of high school is exciting for the cast of freshmen . But as exciting a time as it is, it is also frightening for many. This ailment is commonly referred to as "opening night jitters." Will they like me? Will I fit in? Will the upperclassmen pick on me? Will I be able to do the work? For many, those frightening questions were never realized . Lisa Weber said, "I didn't worry about fitting in because as long as I had my friends from eighth grade, I knew they would be there to support me ." "I like being a freshman at St. Albert," said Trisha Deming, "everyone is really nice to me . I'm looking forward to trying out for cheerleading next year." Mike James said,"l thought the upperclassmen would pick on the freshman, but they don't do anything to you ." " I felt I would have to act more mature about getting my homework done because my parents would expect more from me since I was a freshman," said Bob Martin .

Freshman/ 135 Class of '8 9 climbs to Supporting Roles The freshman year was over and now you have a chance to be a sophomore. What is so special about being a sophomore in high school anyway? During the freshman year, you were always thought of as the youngest. Juniors were anxious to be seniors and so they ignored sophomores and tried to act older. Seniors were the models for underclassmen to look up to for a good example. So, why didn't we just skip the sophomore year altogether? Were there any advantages to spending a whole year on the "reserve bunch?" Monica Wood, a sophomore, feels good that she is not th~ youngest any more. Wood said, "You are older than one class, but you're not the oldest yet!" Sophomore Chad Kavars said, "It's just an extra year you have to go through before you graduate ." The Class of '89 thinks that during their sophomore year they grew closer and became better friends. During thefreshman year, there was always the worry of the big seniors picking on you or not finding your classes. Juniors went through the tedious task of choosing a college and also keeping grades up in order to be accepted for college. Seniors, alone, enjoyed the last year of high school. Sophomore, Peggy McGinn claimed, "I think we're really close and that we really care about each other." "People seem to accept you more ." Libby Arnold, a sophomore, said.

Between school and part-time jobs, the juniors still found time to take the ACT test, apply for colleges, sell candy bars for prom, and go out for fun with friends. Some began to face the reality of graduating and starting a new phase of the life cycle . "I'm looking forward to moving on in my life but it.will be hard to leave so much behind," said Kathy Alfers.

Final Performance Jon Bon Jovi told us on the blockbuster album "Slippery When Wet" that we should "Never Say Goodbye", while Billy Joel explained that "This is the Time" to remember. Both of these songs have one common theme-never lose touch with those you care for. The class of 1987 was always predicted to be one of the best to ever go through the SA doors of greatnes~, ~nd o~e of the most spirited. Beginning with pep rallies on the b . . h d us in s1xt gra e, the seniors continued with that kind of enthusiasm. An example of that spirit was at the Strategic Air Command (S.A.C.) band "Nightwing" assembly. The upperclassmen danced, stood on choirs and cheered, showing that "The Kids Wanna Rock!" during the Bryon Ad144/ Seniors ams' song. In the midst of that kind of enthusiasm, occasionally some people con feel left out or forgotten . Not so with the 70 members of the Class of '87. In the rowdiness and frivolty, a sense of unity was prevelant. That same unity was evident as 15 students gathered at Mercy Hospital on the night of the 1985 Homecoming pep rally to show support and concern for class mote Ron Marshall who was hurt during the festivities. Another time, an outpouring of core was shown for Ann Peterson ofter she was injured during a November hoy rock ride. Many classes tend to drift a pa rt and lose touch with their oneness. This was not the ca se with the Closs of '87. The unity was alwa ys there . Special days like the senior ring mass and the last days of retreat helped pull this class together even tighter than before. College life quickly approached, and the realization that this sense of togetherness would end, hit the seniors. After 13 years, the fun would be over, and many reflected on what classmates meant to him or her. Whether Bon Jovi said it best, or Joel was more accurate, is irrelevant. What is important, are the actions behind the words. We must never say goodbye, and at the same time, we hove to understand that these were the times to remember, and remem· ber them fondly we will.

The Rev. Robert Chamberlain made a move from Dowling High School in Des Moines, to St. Albert High School. Fr. Chamberlain took Rev. Edward Hurley's position as Executive Coordinator of the St. Albert School System. "I was ready for a change," said Fr. Chamberlain. Coming to Council Bluffs brought him closer to many of his family members who live in the Omaha-Council Bluffs area. A graduate of Loras College, his first assignment for the church was to Dowling. He stayed for the next 22 years of his life. While at Dowling, he served as religion and social studies teacher, counselor, guidance director, and registrar. In Council Bluffs, Fr. Chamberlain is responsible for the whole St. Albert School System, from kindergarten to high school. He is also in charge of the religious education center and supervises the St. Albert Educational Foundation and Alumni activities. Fr. Chamberlain has a natural interest in young people. He was the oldest of nine children, growing up in Panama, Iowa. That interest in young people led him to a Masters degree in guidance and counseling, and he was involved in a group for teens called Alateen. It is a weekly support group for teenagers with alcoholic family members or friends . Fr. Chamberlain made a committment to continued improvement in the St. Albert System and to ensure that improvement he met weekly with principals and Rod Vallier, business manager. This was a means to keeping in contact with the daily operation of the schools. The report cards for the first year are in and it appeared that Fr. Chamberlain's service has been a positive beginning of a new era on the hill.

Harold Russell and Helen Scahoka take a much needed pop break in the faculty lunch room. Everyday on the hill begins as teachers start their classes. Everytn10 g runs on schedule smoothly. But how? The janitors, cooks, and secretaries keep everything backstage and behind the scenes running. Secretaries type announcements, take calls from parents of ill students, and keep daily tally of demerits in addition to their duties to Dr. Avise and Mr. Jaworski. Thecookss~veoverhot~ovesto serve hot, nutritious meals. Janitors stay on duty until the wee hours to make sure halls are sparkling clean for the next school day. At the end of every school day, they once again face heel scuff marks, litter, and locker fall-out. And they start all over again. At the business office secretaries take incoming money, count it and put it in the right account, as well as handling payroll, selling lunch tickets, and answering endless questions. The question is why? Gloria Blum said, "It's a very rewarding job, and I like working with kids." "I enjoy working with the students, said Joan Pursell. "I like their attitudes, their humor, their compliments, and their criti..:1sms. There are a lot of good students in this school with kind personalities," she added. Harold Russell summed it up by saying, "I enjoy the people and the chailenge." After all is said and done , we should toke a loo!( at the halls and pick up all the papers, eat the food with on open mind, read the announcements with greater pride, and take a moment to thank each and every one of our backstage workers that keep our school going.

I look around the room, and I see nervous students anxiously awaiting an open bed. People give blood for diffrent reasons, usually to help others. MaryAnn Angeroth said, "I have one of the rarer blood types and it's a good service to do for other people." Senior Kari Larsen said, "I thought it would be a nice thing to do for lent." Whatever the reasons for donating blood it's an almost painless process to help a lot of people in need. The score of the dread disease Acquired Immune Deficiency, better known as AIDS has not diminished the generosity of St. Albert students. Generosity is not the only motive, however. Senior Mark Heenan said "I give blood for the cookies, of course." Nancy McPartland 156/ mini-mag Fr.

The scoreboard at Jock Murphy Stadium in Son Diego flashes the Holiday Bowl game between U. of Iowa and Son Diego State. The Howkeyes' spirit isn't dampened even though the field looks flooded! Hysteria Wherever John Q. Public went this past year, Iowa Hawkeye fans were sure to be around. The success of their athletic teams, especially basketball, seemed to bring out more than the usual number of fans. "The fan support is good. We need to support Iowa Schools because excelling in athletics is what it takes to keep our athletes here," said senior Donna Roane. The Iowa football team surprised the nation by going 9-3 and beating San Diego State by one point in the Holiday Bowl, despite losing key seniors Chuck Long and Ronnie Harmon to graduation. The wrestling team was cut short of their unprecedented 10th notional title by in-state rival, Iowa State. The championship come down to the final match in which an Iowa State wrestler pinned a wrestler from U of I. The women's basketball team missed a trip to the Final Four in Austin, Texas, by one point. They were defeated by Louisiana Tech, the eventual NCAA champions. Although their season ended with a disappointing loss, the Lady Hawks ha d their share of success. They had a record of 26-5 and tied with Ohio State for first in the Big Ten conference. If that wasn't enough to excite the fans, the Hawkeye basketball team proved to the doubtful that yes, fast break basketball is played in Iowa (and played well). The Hawkeyes were ranked as high as number one while never dropping from the top 10 throughout the season. They hushed all skeptics as they raced out to a record 18-0 start the best in Iowa history. ' Dr. Tom Davis, Iowa's first year coach (later named Associated Press coach of the yea r), brought a new dimension to Hawkeye basketball, adding a continuous full court press using as many as 10 players per game . Iowa finished their season with a loss to first-ranked University of Nevada at Las Vegas in the west regional final of the NCAA tournament, three points shy of a trip to New Orleans and the Fina l Four. The loss was painful to Hawkeye fans, but they looked back at that amazing 30-5 season and possibly ahead to more of them.

The paper stock used in the book is 80 pound Bordeaux. School art on the cover with applied green foil was custom designed by Matt Mullin. The book was printed in its entirety with black ink. Headlines and subheads were set in Chelsea Black in 48, 36 and 18 point. Body copy used was l 0 point Chelsea. Captions were set in 8 point Chelsea. Folios were set in l 0 point. Two Hundred copies of DIMENSIONS were printed. The theme of this year's DIMENSIONS was the show 'biz song, " Another Opening, Another Show." And no matter how great the show, and the enthusiasm of the cast and audience, the show always has a final curtain. Final because the cast, in this case the yearbook staff, has put the last spread in its envelope and closed down the computers on what was a very important year to them. Another staff will take over next year and make their mark on St. Albert The Great Catholic High School in Council Bluffs, Iowa. Some of us won't be back. We'll move on to colleges, careers and even marriages. But the memory of 1987 will never leave. It will remain in the scrapbook of our minds to be looked back upon and remembered with love .

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.

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.

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.

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. The third part of the course was in-class instruction with written tests and assignments which included drawing maps of Council Bluffs streets and Council Bluffs interstate ramps and exits.

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. Tina DeChant Seniors Jerry Lenihan and Sean Davis wet their whistles during Skip Day. 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. The Falcons placed 12 of the 24 all Conference Members and five honorable mentions ; the Falcons also broke many school records scoring , total yards , averaging yards per game and least scored upon defense .

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. "In the upcoming years I feel the volleyball team will be very prosperous, " acknowledged Stephanie Klement. Steve Oberdin Lisa Spears blocks an attempted spike.

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 Falcons went into the N.C.C. with a 9-1 record, and defeated David City Aquinas and Boystown. In the final game the Falcons downed Columbus Scot us 4 7-31 to take the crown. The Falcons finished the season ranked second with a record of 20-1 . The Falcons defeated Red Oak 70- 61 in their first round of district playoffs.

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. "We gave a lot of effort in the games and I think we will do better next year," commented Matt Fischer. • Steve Oberdin 53 43 25 57 31 56 42 37 61 57 38 43 40 48 54 59 SA 29 72 65 51 64 61 52 56 48 63 64 54 59 70 81 66 JVBB/93 Sophomore, Bob Martin, tries to predict his opponents next move. 94 I Wrestling Wrestlers struggle through season Year full of ups 'n downs The 1987-88 St. Albert wrestling team had another up and down season ending with an 0-7 record. 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 . Dan Ryan Junior Jason Smith leads th e pack in the hurd les at the C.B. Relays. Team Hurdles Obstacles ... Injuries Hinder Goals and Performances The 1988 Saintes track season began with great optimism. 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.

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.
