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

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

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

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

"Most people do not realize the things that the cheerleaders do "behind the scenes." Up at dawn, the cheerleaders are ready to practice as they prepare for the day's festivities.

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

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

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

Don't get them wrong, they do enjoy the sport, but when it was time to play they put on their game faces and were ready to take on any opponent. Their fiestiness and talent came from the teams great work ethic. They began practices during the summer with open gym every week and with a league at College of Saint Mary's. "I was excited going into the season because we had a lot of people back from last year and we played in summer league," stated Jenny Rawlings.

We had open communication and kept it open all season." The Saintes hard work proved to pay off for them.

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

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

The universal goal of any junior varsity athletic team is to give experience and playing time to young athletes so they will be able to perform well at the varsity level in the future. According to the accomplishments they turned out, that is exactly what the youthful Falcon team attempted and accomplished this season. The Falcons endured the season with a squad consisting of mostly sophomores, but despite the youth, they still compiled a satisfying record of three wins and two losses . They lea ve themselves and their coaches looking forward to a bright and promising future. The freshmen team is left with an equal and maybe e v en greater sense of hope after using speed, quickness, and desire to beat often times bigger opponents. They finished the season with one of the best records in freshmen Falcon history with four wins and two losses. The youn Falcons were never out of any game with a chance to win them all.

In the 1989 season, however, the Falcons evened out the score with the Saintes. Five new members added to the already strong nucleus, including freshmen Corey Stock, Jason Smith and Mike Doner, junior Marc Schnitker, and senior Corey Schmida. With the help of the veteran runners, the Falcons ran their way to what may be called one of their most successful seasons. With two Invitational Championships under their belts, the boy's team ended their season with a bang by placing third at Districts and thirteenth at the State competition in Ames. " The boys team did really good considering the new runners, and they really helped them a lot," stated junior harrier Diane Fischer. The Saintes accomplishments were also numerous with the leadership of senior and MVP, Shelly O'Brien. Placing second, third, and fourth in individual standings at the Cont erence meet and winning four titles overall five Saint es qualified for State competition : O'Brien, Molly Malone, Andrea Versaci, and Carolyn Gorman. The men's team elected two members for co-MVP's: Mark Shea and Adam Jones, two runners who were virtually inseparable throughout their seasons.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Losing many girls was an obstacle hard to overcome, but the new players started out with a bang. This year's members included seventeen young hopefuls, including senior Shari Hughes and junior Kari Hanafan who returned after serious knee injuries during last year's season. Sophomore third baseman Jeanine Masker felt positive about the season, adding "it will be fun and exciting.'' Coach Lintner agreed stating that "a successful season would add in r ,... - the improvement of .the team itself and development of indiviual agility.'' This year's baseball team far from lacks in numbers with over twenty-eight players on the team. Sophomore pitcher Rich Swank felt that "the season's hardest task would be to get by some of the Sioux City teams, but by beating AL. they made a great start." Second baseman Chad Standard felt positive about the season, stating that "there are many positive aspects of our team, we never give up and are very determined."

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

This is a year of finality for seniors. The last of the homecoming festivities during high school, the last year for high school sports, the last high school drama performance, the last school lunch, the last prom, the last time to be called high school students.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Just what is a Freshman? Websters Third New International Dictionary lists freshman as: "1. one having as yet <:)nly the rudiments of knowledge especially in a particular field or occupation, a. a ,student in his/her first year in a secondary school." There's more to being a freshman than that. Not yet old enough for Prom, but too old for the junior high, this leaves them with the new semi-formal Snowball. Jenny Christensen added "I was excited about the switch because I got to go shopping!" Other advantages of being a "frosh" are first year elections for class officers, pep rallies, and extracurricular activities like going to the football games and the traditional trip through the cemetary to the Pizza Hut after the game. Then with your new Mike Pattee glances aside to help a classmate. Angel Bernemann watches an intense boys varsity basketball game with a look of sheer concentration. found freedoms and trusting parents you go to the basketball games and fill up the section left behind the "old frosh class." The freshman seem to fit in with the upperclassmen. New student Kyle Evans stated "I thought that everyone was friendly and helpful." They get along good with the older kids and look up to them as role models. Matthew Smith also added "I loo!< up to Bryan Brabec because he is a leader." The unity of the freshman class is strong and will most likely stay with them. Coach Heithoff stated "these kids are really a neat group, they accept one another well, and have a lot of spirit." All in all the freshman class is close, they are a family. The freshman have an "Innocence of Outlook" and always will.

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

The faculty members. Sure, that may be something peo pie don't like to think about when it comes to returning to school after a nice long vacation, but when you think about it St. Albert wouldn't be the same without them. The teachers here are considered to be understanding people. They go out of their way to make things easier on us even if that means their job becomes a little harder. A/though some students · don't notice the small j av ors, the authority Ji gures are usually recognized /or special tasks. When asked what she thought of the faculty at St. Albert, Mrs. Wanita Printy-Zika said , u I enjoy the people. Everyone is so cooperative and easy to work with. All the good spirit helps during a long day." Letitia Sanchez Tom Heithoff and Virgie Oatman excha nge glances as they discuss the exciting day at school. How 'bout those sc hool lunches? II Discipline only part of being ... The Big Cheese One of the most important pieces of Saint Albert's smooth functioning machinery is the performance of its administration, made up of principal Dr. A vise, vice principal Tony Jaworski, athletics director Mike Kavars, counselor Dean Bragg, junior high coordinator Marilyn Wandersee and Msgr. Robert Chamberlain. Although they play a vital role in the succes of St. Albert, they are often regarded as enemies to the students because the responsibility of discipline which falls on their shoulders. None of the students enjoy being disciplined but deep down they realize that however unpleasent, it is necessary. Junior Roger Wilson said "it's wrong that they are regarded as our enemies, but it shows how much they care about our school. Anyone who can take that and still do their job deserves a lot of credit." It is very important to realize these unsung heroes of any school system . That doesn't mean that you have to fall all over yourself going to extremes in your gratitude toward them, but just a friendlY' "hello" in the hall or even listening to what they have to say can mean a lot to these people. Another positie aspect of the administration are the functions which they approve, such as the dating game and our annual magazine sales. Instead of focusing on the necessary aspects of the administration such as dicipline, punishments, demerits, detentions and so on, we should try to look past the not-so-pleasent duties and pay more attention to the fact that these jobs are vital and without them our school would have no order or direction. Warren Bertsch Athletic Director Mike Kavars uses a hand jester to further emphasis his point to Dr. Avise and Head Custodian Harold Russel.

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

The Cross Country teams made running their forte in every aspect. beating the odds to propel the teams to a seventh and thirteenth place finish . Veterans such as Shelly O'Brien and Mark Shea aided the teams with their strong fi nishes. Both boys and girls track teams performed strong throughout the season to make a well-earned trip to Des Moines. The girls team qualified in seven events and fi nished in the top five in all but one event. With only three seniors on the team, the girls are sure to make a return trip next season. Although the boys did not find Lady Luck to be on their side at State they qualified in four events. Seniors Ada m Jon es a nd Corey Schmida both fo und that paying their dues sometimes pays off as both men made their first trip to the State Tennis meet. Although the boys lost their first match aga inst Knoxville and their third against Audubon, they did enjoy a victory against Red Oak.

The cast was invitea to Superstate after receiving one's and a Superior at State. The play also was a first for new drama instructor Jill Timmer.

Four members qualified for Superstate in the following categories: humorous acting, prose, dramatci acting and extemporaneous acting. Warren Bertsch, Carolyn Gorman, Sheila Konz, and Tina O'Brien competed against excellent competition. Meg Gronstal signs "Blowin' In The Wind" in "Runaways''. Meg was tutored by Janna Hicks.

For the rest of the school, summer was soon to approach, with finals the only obstacle blocking their path, bringing the 90-91 school year to on end. . , ,, Many different poses were struck at St. Albert during the 1990-91 school year. These varied from the wide-eyed craziness of Jason Wanning to the quiet respect shown by Jay Killion and Kari Hanafan at the Senior Ring Mass.

Since the size of each class was so small, each person was able to develop o different pose. From the wild days of Homecoming to the f ormol days of Prom each person put o small piece of themself into their style.

What some would coll fashions were present time fads, soon neon ond suede were gone ond new fads were concentrated upon. There is o difference between fod ond fashion. Fad is o temporary fashion. Fashion, on the other hand is more the style of dress, or etiquette, so from fads to fashion the difference is clear, fashion comes out on dress-up days or fun outings with friends, and fads ore shown at oil times, school, athletics, and even on o Standout Shawn Shea, portrayed the latest in neon casual wear, seen mostly on males wanting to emit a "macho image." Sarah Hobbi ns displays t he latest fashio n in ear wear, which often adds the final touch to an o utfit. dote to show your personality. Missy Schmido and Anne Holder both agreed that ' 'fads ore good because our society needs the interesting change." Fads added to on outfit, and showed more of someones personality. As for example, o wild pair of eorings could show that o person wos very confident in themselves. For easy occe5s to accessories, remember, ''The moll hos it oil" stated Jenny Mc Ginn. As there ore so many stores for the girls to get their accessories, there ore also o lot more "girfy" fashions, Such os the suede boots, which you wouldn't see boys wearing. Fashions come from both East and West coasts ond then moved inward towards the heartland. ' 'Fashion is something that makes you feel more secure about yourself", expressed Nikki Rav/in. Who sets these trendy fashions? ''High society people", stated Anne Holder. There is no telling what will be popular tomorrow or in o month, but what con be determined is that Fads and Fashion make o person. Making a personality statement, Shawn Shea wears a hip pouch to add spark to his trendy outfits. As suede became a fashionable part of the casual outfit, it had also became th e latest in shoewear. Becoming a not-sohot fad, snap bracelets invaded the St. Albert hallways for less than a month. .. rogess1ve aychecks by Robi Thomas After leaving school for the day, the general thought was to go home, re/ox and watch some un[mportont t. v. show. Right? Not everyone at Saint Albert hod this luxury, as most juniors and seniors held port-time jobs. One advantage of working was for the money. ''/got ojob because I like working with children and the fact that the job pays good", stated sophmore Tommie Durke. But there were some who needed the money to help out at home. These students were Zack Fetter shows his Halloween spirit while working at Drug Town in the Halloween aisle. Jenny McGinn puts a smile on her face, to pass the time away while in the cosmetics. more or less forced into finding o job, whether they enjoyed it or not. This was also on advantage for the student in the long run, however, as it helped the person balance their own money and prepare for for the future. ''/ realize that paying for my own stuff makes me more aware of the Value of o dollar and that the money doesn't go as for when I hove to pay for my own things, " commented senior Tino Ryon. With every advantage there must come some disadvantages, too. One major disodvantage was not being able to get your homework done before coming bock to school. Most students who worked found the time to do their homework in studyholl or before school. "Most often I hove to ask for certain days off in order to do my homework or just to spend time with my friends," said senior Meg Gronstal. Though working hos its advantages and disadvantages, the freedom to work helps o student learn about financial responsibility for years to come. Allison Hunter and Zack Fetter shows that working together can be fun . "Isn't this exciting? " thinks Letitia Sanchez who worked at Frederick's.

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

Junior Terri Petrotis commented that, ' 'Mounts ore a change from regular cheers." Many of the mounts that were performed lost year were learned at Cheerleoding Comp, held in Ames, Iowa, over the summer. The Cheerleaders also used a Notional Cheerleoding Association book to learn the mounts. Comp provided the Cheerleaders with a lot of valuable information on how to better perform mounts, the main issue being to remain stiff, according to Jennny McGinn. Some mounts ore easier than others, but with determination ond practice, the mounts get easier to perform.

The importance of getting a date has seemed to have dwindled since it has been clearly noticed that people prefer group dates. Weekend nights students could be found at Burger King on Madison Avenue, but in Jerry Schmitz's case he likes to "Hang out in the Foodland parking lot and look for babes." Several different activities were available for those who enjoyed group dates, as O'Connor added he enjoyed, "going to movies and a restaurant." Students found that going "dutch" was a lot easier to handle since the dollar value has gone down.

"We hod a chance to soy what was necessary which helped make decisions," stated freshman rep Dove Poole. Many issues were brought up at student council meetings yet oil the council could do was represent the ideas to the administrative and school board. Issues of the year centered upon uniforms, or lock of, for the moles and changing of uniform for the females. Coming up with a strict uniform proposal, student council members presented the proposal to the board. Many comments on existing uniforms were mode, such as parental complaints that uniform skirts were too short. As a result, a proposal was mode that a different style of skirt be brought to the board. Although not many ore aware of the involvement of the student council, they kept themselves busy preparing for dances. Each class was assigned to sponsor a dance, freshman having Christmas, sophomores having Valentines and juniors sponsoring Prom. This not only included making all arrangements for each dance, but also decorating and clean up as well. As a whole, the council began the year with the Homecoming Dance and Pep Rally. Representatives from each grade were assigned jobs ad the council as a group decorated for the dance. Along with dances, the council hod a new organization to collect pop cons from receptacles on every Tuesday and Thursday. The cons were then token by the Pepsi vendor, in return the council received approximately sixty dollars every week. At th end of the year, the council gave a gift to the school or a particular deportment within the school. For the first in many years, the council took on active participation role in many school activities. " We speak for the student body, therefore the students hove a soy in what is going on," explained Poole. bging By Sarah Hobbins Some say high school years are the best times in life. This statement was true in many ways but high school was not all parties and having fun. As the class of 1994 learned quickly as freshman, high school took hard work and concentration in both academics and sports. Being a freshman wasn't easy. Freshman JiII Konz stated, " There are ex tra pressures being in high school instead of junior high but you have to be smart enough to handle them." Added pressures come from both school and sports. There were however, incentives, such as picking your own classes and electives and the new experience of arena scheduling. There were also differences in sports and extra curricular activities at the high school level. Sports in high school takes dedication, time, and practice. Other extra curricular activities that freshman can participate in such as school plays and 111 think the freshman class hos o lot of potential and talent and o good future ahead of us."

Of course there were special advantages that came with being a freshman such as being able to attend pep rallies, participate in varsity level sports, and having classes with upperclassmen. "/feel more a part of the high school being in some classes with upperclassmen. It g i ves you a chance to real/y get to know a lot more people and make new friends, " stated freshman Kate Hobbins. Discovering friendships that would last a lifetime, the f irst high school year was also a year to build r elationships.

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

For instance, cost was o major concern for not only boys but girls too. Formal dresses were quite on investment and ran anywhere from $150-$200.

What makes o class ring so special? Closs rings mode high school years always o special time. Closs rings symbolized individuality among the sophomore class. When one picked out o class ring, they found that it resembled who they were both outside and inside. ''/ picked out the one I really liked. It hod to be different and nobody else was getting one like it, " stated Chuck Jones. Along with individuality, class rings also gave sophomores more status in high school. ''/ feel that o class ring makes you more port of high school because it represents 5.A. and the school system," said Jenny Tobias. But class rings also let o student remember their years in high school, as it showed,' 'that I mode it through Chad Arnold, Mott Auen, Amber Ausdemore, Alexis Becerra, Steve Belt, Angel Bernemonn, Mork Bertsch, Corl Diede, Megan Birkhofer, Michael Bjork, Tommie Burke, Jenny Christensen Brion Cihocek, Justin Crompton, Robert Davis, Theresa Eich, Travis Estell "lets me remember the fun times I had with my friends"# Kirk Menges school and it also lets me remember the fun times I hod with my friends, " commented Kirk Menges. When sophomores looked around for o class ring, one thing come to mind and that was, the cost of the ring and who was to pay for it. Although most sophomores didn't hold o job, it was hard for them to purchase o ring, therefore parents were the ones who bought the ring for them. But, there were some students who hod to pay their parents bock while others didn't. ·'My parents bought my ring for me as o gift and it shows that they core about me," stated Jenny Tobias. For each student, o class ring meant different things. For some it meant individuality and for others it means being o port of Saint Albert. Out for them oil, it means o port of growing up. Brian Cihacek listens attentively to the Josten rep while he explains the caretaking of a class ring. Rings often ran between $90-400 and stood as a constant reminder of high school years, yet women 's rings could cost two to three times less than males. How much did your class ring cost and who had to pay for it? Your parents or yourself? "My pa re nts bo ught my ring for me and they paid $315. Even thoug h my parents bought it fo r me , I have to pay them back o n a payment pla n . I a lso think that if yo u buy you r own ring, there is mo re va lue t o it."# Chuck Jones.

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

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

David Wulff Anxiously awaiting his turn to speak, Chad Graeve found the junior class retreat to be a time to show leadership abilities. The retreat gave time away from regularly scheduled classes for the juniors to learn about one another. How do you balance your time between strenuous hours of acedemics and long hours of athletics?

By Jonna Hicks Every year each class at St. Albert looks forward to o retreat where they con get away from the every day burden of school. This year's juniorsenior retreat was no different. For the first time, juniors and seniors come together to shore the retreat experience at Comp Niyoti, outside of Glenwood. Forgiving was o main topic of the retreat, on important topic that needed to be discussed. Anne Holder particularly liked this port, stating, ''It took core of hours of people ripping other people apart. " There was o more personal reason some juniors enjoyed the retreat. According to leonine Masker, ·'ft helped me see where the people from the rest of the doss were coming from. " Opinions were spoken, and o basic understanding come about because of this. No problems were evident when it come to combining both the junior and senior classes for the retreat pur- , pose. Each come more familiar to the other, which might not hove happened without the retreat. Masker liked the set-up, saying, "If you didn't know people, you got to know them. " This was one aspect of the retreat that many people seemed to enjoy. Every person hod their own opinion towards which port was best. It was the forgiving of friends in front of each other, the rugby, the private time with their classmates, and the individual prayers. Who is to soy which port was best? Overall, the retreat was a success, and those who attended it felt it was worth while, and feel that the tradition of yearly retreats should continue. Shown Kenney hos this to soy about the retreats in general. ''It's something different, and it odds variety." • 5 Pondering her thoughts, Jenny McGinn thinks of what to write on her shard.

Seniors in their graduation gowns, with caps in hand, awaited that last moment when the diploma was placed in their palms. Although graduaton was a very happy time for students, it also meant saying goodbye to something familiar. Chali Inserra commented that she was "very anxious" but that there was also some anxiety, "there is a part of you that wants to hang on to the memories but a bigger part of you that you know needs to grow and you can only do that by letting go." The new challenges brought teardrops of fear and anticipation, remembering all the special times of high school. Jill Wineinger stated that she was "happy to be out of school and sad at the same time because I won't get to see a lot of my friends."

According to Amy Evers, "I am looking forward to leaving but it will be difficult to leave the security of school here." Tim Howard agrees with Evers, "I feel bad about leaving but I want to move on." When asked what gave them the most security, the most popular answer was friends, as senior Trent Hemmingsen stated, "I know everyone and I have friends here." Tina Ryan also believes that friends and "knowing people" gave her the most security. As the seniors moved on to college and better things they learned to cope without the securities of St. Albert and family and friends.

Senior Kevin Ryan is an example of this. "I spend all of my money on myself, except for school tickets." Many parents have a line drawn as to what they will pay for. Did you ever notice how fast your money disappeared? Whether it went to car payments, paying off loans to your parents, or just personal entertainment, most people don't even see their paycheck long enough before it is spent. "Most of my check goes to gas or food for myself," senior Matt Noon stated. Many seniors end up buying their own gas as only a few students are fortunate enough to have it payed for by their parents.

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

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

Kristie Gross which included Dr. Avise, Mr. Jawarski, and Mrs. Wandersee, Mr. Kavars and Mr. Bragg would usually be associated with student discipline, but they are involved with much more than that. Mr. Jawarski took care of the handbook regulations along with the transportation of the bussing system while Mrs. Wandersee took care of the junior high students and helped them throughout their day and Dr. Avise made r1 sure that all jobs were accomplished accordingly. A smile and helpful hand were always offered when entering the office. The office staff put aside their daily work to aid students whenever something was needed students could rely on the office personnel. Not given half the recognition that was highly deserved, the janitorial staff were often taken for granted and yet they were very vital people. The janitors were responsible for making St. Albert presentable to the community. High school is a place to make new friends, exp lo re, and learn . The teachers at St. Albert offered their talents and abilities to accomp lish these goals. Teachers be1 ieved that promoting a positive attitude to the students would bring success that lead to "Be it known to all who enter here, Christ is the reason for this school.

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

ITY the sweep of Upon walking into the office to pick up an admit by Pam L0okabill or a pass or for some other reason, how often were the secretaries thanked? Or going through the lunchline, were the cooks also thanked? What about the people who kept the school clean? Yes, the cooks, secretaries and janitors are all a part of the thankless staff at St. Albert. Secretary Marsha Wise, a Saint Albert alumni, typed reports and correspondances, among other things and has worked in the office for three years. She took the job in the S.A. office because, "I believe in a Catholic education and after years of volunteering and being room mother, I took an opening in the office." The other staff member in the main office was Secretary /Receptionist Jeanne Patten. Patten has worked in the office for two years and like Wise has students att ending S.A. and was very supportive of What keeps you going? "The staff and students are good here. I wanted to be a part of the system because I have three children here- they are a very important part of my life. I enjoy it here.

I am very supportive of the system and want to keep being a part of it." a Catholic education. "I wanted to be a part of the system because of my kids and I felt very appreciated here." Not only did the secretaries enjoy being a part of the S.A. staff, but also the janitors and cooks. Cook and three year Neola Bus Driver, Jeanette Masker commented, "I liked the people I worked with and the association we had with the students." An even better incentive for Masker was that, "I get holidays and summers off." The janitors (Harold Russell, Charles Matutka, Elmer Rodenburg and Glen Spar) kept S.A. looking good and deserved much thanks. Early hours and energy needed for the job, however, took its toll on both Charles and Glen, as both were hospitalized during the year. It then became Harold Russell's job to replace them with competent help. JEANETTE MASKER DEVOTES HER DAYS not only as o cook but also as o bus driver.

What most people don't realize is how much time they gave to S.A. through after school activities like dances and sports events. At the start of each school year the administration returned early from the fun and frollicking of their summer vacatons to help ready the school for the students' and teachers' return. After school let out for the summer, the teachers often stayed, making sure the school is left in good condition for the next year.

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

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

Metioning key factors which held the Saintes together, junior varsity player Jenni Tobias commented, "They had a lot of individual talent which held the team together.

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

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

Although small in numbers, the freshman football team showed doubting fans that they could come out ahead by overcoming teams like Glenwood and having five victories under their belts. by Jenny McGinn "Our team was smaller because a Jot of freshmen went out for cross country instead, " Mark Willms explained. The freshman team for the 1990 proved themselves worthy of respect with a 5-1- 1 record. Each year a new group of fresh-faced gridders join the ranks of the varsity and j. v. teams. These young players have had little or no experience in playing football other than in eighth grade. U p and coming freshman gridder Brad Krohn shows off his strong defensive skills in a takedown. As these men found more responsibilites and activities available to them, fewer men tried out for freshman football. Tony Mauer, who was very proud of the season stated, "our best gain was against Glenwood." Improving "in team unity," throughout the season helped the young Falcons, according to sophomore Dave Poole, who came down from the junior varsity level to assist the freshman. Due to the small turnout of freshmen, a few of the sophomore junior-varsity players were asked to help. This gave the freshmen an opportunity to experience more challenging play, which helped them "improve offensively," Jeff Davis stated. One of the benefits of having a small team is that it gave every member of the team the chance to gain experience. Despite such negative factors as small numbers and lack of experience, these few men had a very impressive season. Tony Mauer makes a strong attempt at holding back a P lattsmouth player on his way to the goal line. This kind of defense led the Falcons to a 5-1-1 record.

With the young competitors bock, the upcoming season looked very positive, and the future looked bright with many state qualifiers returning .. by Stephanie Klement "Hot, hot, hot and giving it all they've got" is how the cross country season started out for St. Albert. Although the temperature was in the high ninties, the competetors gave 100% in their practices and meets. The opening for the sport started towards the end of the summer, a few weeks before school began. The cross country team practiced in the morning, usually during the cooler time of day, to train for their season. Training consisted of long distance running of four to five miles including hills and sprints. ''The St. Albert boys display thier winning attitude despite the drizzlying cold weather at State in Ames. practices were hard and hot, but if you have a positive outlook and attitude it all pays off," stated freshman state qualifier and second team runner Jill Konz. "Closeness" was a word often synonomous with the cross country team, which helped the morale and their turn out of the season. Junior and state qualifier Molly Malone added, "cross country is a Jot of fun with all the hard work attached. We are like a family because we are around one another constantly. " The girls team went undefeated in season meets with top runner Carolyn Gorman leading the pack. At the district meet both the boys and girls teams finished second to first finisher Gilbert. The second place finishes gave the teams a chance for the state title, the second year in a row for both teams. Both teams also fin ished first at conference for the second year. The team voted sophomore Carolyn Gorman and sophomore Corey Stock as the MVP's of the year while Andy Murray was nominated for best form.

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

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

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

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

Consisting of mostly freshman with a few sophomores, the JV team worked hard throughout the season and saw a lot of the results they wanted. They set high goals for themselves and thier team and by the end of the season they were very pleased with the results. As Freshman Amy Davis stated, "/ thought his year went very well, we started out strong, beating A .L. , and sta y ed strong throughot the season."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"There is talent and o lot of fun on the field, Jamie Hughes keeps everyone on their toes," stated Shawn Shea. Compared to last year the team went on o winning streak finishing the year 7-6. Setting o goo/ to become City Champs and have o winning record, Jason Wanning added "if takes years of practice, you have to have o lot of speed and be , willing to do your best in each and every game. " Jeremy Kroll agreed, adding, "I've been playing sice I was five and I om addicted to the sport." Do their best they did as the team improved their one win record from the 1990 season to seven wins this season. To enthuse the players, coach Father Dud Grant developed player of the week awards. "Dud applies your positions with your ability," stated Jeremy Kroll, adding that "in soccer you rely very much on other teammates to back you up or help you when scoring, each and every position is essential and p la ys o very important role. " Using this strategy throughout the season, the Falcons beat A.l. in the last home game to claim victory and city champions. " Our goal was to be city champs and a lso to have o winning record, it took o lot of work but all of us were willing to put in the extra w ork so we could accomplish our goals," stated Wanning.

By Lori Fox Victory is a well known word many girls from the St. Albert soccer team are used to. The girls soccer season was full of hard games. The climax of the season was according to senior Anita Jabro, "winning the Challenge Cup game against Lewis Central (4-29). It was the game we really wanted, and we worked hard and got it. " Working hard is exactly what the Saintes soccer team did. "Soccer is a very competitive sport and you have to be very aggressive, " Tina O'Brien added. One individual who stood out in the eyes of Junior Sara Kinart was "Lori Hughes, she always had a positive attitude. She pushed everyone and gave everyone a chance. " But all of the girls on the Saints soccer team played hard all year and that's exactly what they did this season. "We showed a lot of improvement from last year, it showed us how great a season we could possibly have in the 90-91 season," Sara Kinart added. Most of the players enjoy it so much because "the people make it fun and our coaches are laid back, so we can enjoy ourselves and concentrate on how we play the game and not just winning," according to senior Anita Jabro. "Being only one game away from city champs and only one game away from a perfect record made us feel pretty proud," Stated junior Sara Kinart. The Saintes were winners in other categories such as improving their skills, having fun, and leaving the Saintes with high hopes of an even better season next year.

Great friends and memories were mode, which would lost long ofter the season was over and the racquets put away. By Janna Hicks Changes came about within the tennis team with a new coach and a new perspective. Coach Vince Rew took over with vengence, hoping to make tennis respected as a Varsity sport at St. Albert. Sophomore Chad Arnold thought it was a positive change, "/think it was helpful. I felt the tennis program needed a change of pace." Shawn Kenney added, "Vinnie taught us a lot of new things, and he kept it fun, even though we wanted to win badly." Improvement was evident throughout the season, with overall game and form changing for the good. All of this improvement was evident, especially to Coach Rew, "I've been seeing improvement from the beginning." Many players set goals to improve themselves. "/set a goal of trying to win as many matches as I possibly could. I really didn't win as many as I wanted to," stated Shawn Kenney. Mike Wiegman agreed, adding, "We progressed throughout the season .. . the highlight of the season was when Pete and 1 defeated Halsted and Fox at the Atlantic Tournament." One goal for Justin Pekny was to win the City Tournament which he eventually won in the number three seed. Many memories will last from this tennis season, some good and some bad. Good memories outweigh the bad, with frequen t laugh attacks and coughed up food. Pete Thompson summed it up best by saying, "With Mr. Rew, or 'Vinnie ' as we so affectionately call him, not only did we have a new and different coach, we had a new personality as a team. We are just one big happy fa m ily with Vince, or maybe I should say 'dad' at the helm." Ju stin Pe k ny con centra te d on his serve, a se r ve w hich helpe d him win many of his dua l matches.

Dy Jenny McGinn Having big shoes to fill as for as the top Varsity seats, the 1991 Saintes tennis team had a lot of hard work ahead of them, but with a new coach and philosophy, it wasn 't hard at all. Vince Rew, a 1986 graduate of St. Albert, took over the position of head coach and received rave reviews from his players. Juniors Janna Hicks and Sarah Hobbins agreed that having a younger coach did have its benefits. "He jokes around more and he's a lot of fun," Hobbins stated. "He can come down to our level easier than an older coach would," Hicks added. Rew added a new concept to the practices that many people hadn't associated with tennis: conditioning. Although this resulted in a few moans and groans, it did prove to be effective. Tennis is noto totally physical sport: about fifty percent of it consists of confidence, however being physically prepared con help in boosting confidence. Melissa Schmida, top-seeded varsity player, said the highlight of the season is always " the city meet, because w e ployed against people we know so it mode us try harder. " This match w as very crucial to all of the players as they played against other schools in Council 8/uffs, and it was a tournament not j ust a m atch, w hich means Jong hours in the sun and tough competition. Hopefully, the Sointes w ill continue to improve in the y ears ahead: so for they hove a good start. With such a young team (there were no seniors out) they hove plenty of time to concentrate on e very aspect.

With only three returning seniors, the Varsity Falcon Baseball team finds themselves thrust into a long, hot season and serious goals on their minds. Having to face such opponents as Clarinda, Glenwood and Lewis Central, the Varsity Falcons began their Jong summer against Des Moines East, losing 11-2 yet bounced right back to beat Granville-Spaulding 9-0. With the season extending long into July, the Falcons had a roster which included 36 games, the toughest of them coming from such strong teams as Clarinda and Glenwood. ''They have a strong baseball program and their pitchers are very good, but we have great bats and a strong defense," stated catcher Jeremy Kroll. Coach Ken Schreiber agreed adding that within the Class 2A the toughest competition would come from both schools but the team also "needs to defeat City competitor Lewis Central. " Only three seniors returned for play, Matt Noon, Matt Way and Bryan Holder and teammate Jeremy Kroll felt that made them "good leaders. They keep the team together and make sure we have good behavior and most importantly they have a serious attitude about the season." A serious attitude will be needed to drive the Falcons towards Speed often is a state of mind, as Rich Swank realizes ofter being thrown out at first bast in the season opener against Des Moines East. their team goal of "not getting beat by city rivals, have a winning record (with losses in the single digits) and, of course," Kroll adds, "make a trip to Districts and State." Having a strong pitching team (Noon and Wa y) helped the Falcons push themselves to meet those goals, yet as Schreiber added, "our weakness is our hitting. ,, This weakness, unfortunately, ate the Falcons game plans in the beginning o f the season as their first three games ended with a 1-2 record, losing to both Des Moines East and Clarinda.

Dy Stephanie Klement School ended in May and most students looked forward to going home, relaxing and waiting for the summer fun to begin, but for those in softball the summer opened up with morning practices. Softball is a demanding, yet enjoyable sport.Having games as many as three times a week and often playing long Saturday tournaments held in various places, the girls worked hard in the driving heat. Many numbers and a wide range of ages were involved in the sport. With only two seniors Kari Hanafan and Diane Fisher, the Varsity team found its strength in youth. Consisting predominately of eighth graders, the junior varsity also relied on youth for their victories. "ft will be a lot better this year, we won 't have to play both junior varsity and varsity games," stated junior Molly Malone. Starting pitcher this year was eighth grader Kori Nielsen, who filled the shoes of graduating seniors, while the infield was dominated by juniors and seniors. Leadership and dedication is found on every team. Cooch Lintner reaffirmed this, adding ''/rely on team leaders to be junior Molly Molone and Jeanine Masker and senior Kari Hanafan.

N-"'-------' ate Becerra and Jason Remember when the first day of school came around and you just couldn't wait to show all of your friends your new lunch box? Those were the good old days when going to school was something to look forward to. Usually something exciting happens to make the new school year different but for the 91-92 school year there was nothing out of the ordinary that made the new school year seem different. The new dress code got everyone's a ttention and even some people's opinions. The dress code change was the biggest change for the 91- 92 school year. 'The most exciting thing about the n ew school year was being a senior and knowing that it is rhy last year in high school," stated senior J acque Hughes. All of the students are looking forward to being one year closer to being finished with high school. Entering a n ew year of high school is exciting especially for the freshman who are now able to participate in different school activities such as going to school dances, pep rallies, be involved in Homecoming week, and also student council. As freshman Warren Mohn commented, "Getting to go to more high school events and being known as a high school student rather than being a junior high student is the best thing about this year." The 91-92 school year started off great with a ll of the fall sports doing very well. The football team was undefeated and made it all the way to the class 2A semifinals. Both cross country teams qualified at state and were successful. The volleyball team also did well they made it all the way to the district finals. " The most exciting and new thing that happened was the success in all of our fall sports, it was a great way to start out the new school year," junior Emilia no Sanchez commented. by Lori Fox Gaspard show off their lunch boxes in the cafeteria during lunch time. Empty seats on a school bus await the return of students for the new school year. to Uniforms have been a rule at St. Albert since the op~ning of the school. But the 1991-92 school year has become more strict. Many students haven't been too happy with the crack down on the dress code. According to senior Krissy Lancia!, "Dress code was never that big of a problem before. Why should they start coming down on us now? It just seems so unfair that you should get in trouble for the littlest violation." At the beginning of the school year, many students were stopped in the hall when their skirts looked questionable. This consisted of a note card held up to the skirt which measured the length between the knee and the skirt. As senior Missy Schmida states, "I feel as though the underclassmen aren't carded as much as the seniors and juniors. We were made to be the examples for them and it didn't work." Being carded in the halls isn't the greatest feeling. "You feel kind of dumb because you think of all of the other people walking the halls with shorter skirts than yours and they're not being carded, you are," stated sophomore Katie Heithoff. Its not always the girls that are getting in trouble for the dress code. Often times it's the boys. "It doesn't bother me to wear a tie now that I am used to it, " saidsenior Nate Becerra. Not everyone thinks that the dress code is all bad. According to Mrs. Maryann Angeroth, "I think the skirt length was a good compromise, it shows that the administration has the willingness to be adaptable and change styles. I feel the changes are for th e better." =tL-4:.....Jr=== ear A dress code has its ups and downs, and everyone has their own opinion when it comes to discussing the issue. "I think that a dress code is better than not having one because it is easier to figure out what to wear, "stated senior Jason Gaspard. by Lori Fox Freshman Sharon Whetstone adds a new touch to the girls' uniform by wearing tights. Showing off their plaid skirts and neatly pressed oxfords during the lunch hour are junior Richelle Wilson and sophomores Stormie Thompson and Jennifer Mathiasen. : Junior Stacy Mcintosh watches as Ms. McGuire does a "skirt check" for length. Skirts were required to be three inches above the knee or the result would be a demerlt. J Wearing the proper attire are seniors Rob Ruiz and Nick Conzemius and junior Jenny Hotz as they work on a homewor k assignment. "Dress code was never a problem before, why should they start coming down on us now?" -Krissy Lancial to Special This year's Homecoming spirit week was viewed as particualy successful by the students. The week consisted of 50-60s Biker day, Old Testament day, Cowboy /Indian day, and Dress Up day. "It was our last chance to get together as a class to promote school spirit. If you are going to do something, you should do it all out," senior Andrea Versaci stated. "The decorations were nice" said freshman Sara Kruse, "It gets you excited during the week so you can let it all out at the game. " Spirit-lifters included balloons in the hallways, the fight song played between cla sses, and the lyrics draped on the walls of the cafeteria. Sophomore Danny Stock agreed, saying, "Homecoming is a way to get rid of a lot of energy and be myself with my friends." Though the majority of the students dressed up for the week , there were still a few students that didn't go all out. Some wore outfits not even associa ted with the day or time period being celebrated . Lack of full participation forced th e administration to make stricter guidelines regarding the dress u p attire. These rules didn 't affect many stu - dents, but fo r some pu t a damper on the days' attire . "If Homecoming is s uppose to be fu n we should be able to go a ll out," sa id Kruse. Stock said "Since Homecoming week is like a prep week, We want the whole school to get pumped. There should only be limitations on those who choose not to participate." Even with the limitations put on the dress up days, the =:iL-6.....Jr=====- students and faculty felt there was a better tum out than in previous years. Not only did the school week go well, but the dance had a great tum out too. With Jacque Hughes as queen and Jeremy Kroll as king, Homecoming was a great success. by J enny Hotz Friends senior Andrea Versaci and junior Carolyn Gorman show off their Homecoming spirit dressed in their togas on Old Testament Day.

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

There are those who still use the California surfer "dude" lauguage and the Valley girl talk that is "like totally awesome". Junior Phil Hasenkamp has the cornerstone on "sausage" and "waxin' the trax". Junior Corey Stock and his brother Danny, a sophomore, say "white bread" . "Groovy" is still "hip"- Not! This is the year when everything is "cool beans" to juniors Jenny Hotz and Wendy Larson. To junior Jenni Tobias, seriously or sarcastically, everything is"great" , "wonderful'', and "super". Senior Art Mendoza says "what's up", while others use senior Andrea Versaci's "yo" Glossary Dis - makin' somebody "like" mad. Not- I don't think so Sweet - the ideal White Bread - Nobody knows what it means - it's just one of those things - instead of hello. Senior Justin Morris fl,oes even further with "hey babe". Everyone says "whatever" and "sure". (What ever happened to 'just say no?" ) There's always the old reliables "terrific", "awesome" , and "cool". This is the time when "true blonde" and "butthead" are the ultimate insults and everything is either "sweet" or it's "dissed". When joking it's "p~yche" or sophomore Jamie Goebel's "kidding". Having a rough week? Are you suffering from, as Mendoza would say, homework "burnout"? Junior Chad Arnold would probably say "yeah, but.. " Do you just play it cool like junior Jenny Schmitz and say, "I know some stuff'. There is always senior Jenny McGinn, who uses "cheesy" to describe anything that she finds just a little too cute or happy. But don't worry - you can always calm yourself with junior J enny Christensen's reassuring and wise comment "don't fret", meaning you have a friend's h elp or someone is there for you. Of course there is always Stacy Mcintosh's "oh schmut" used to revise all those naughty words in the world. How a bout on those rough weekends wh en senior Robert Ruiz says, "I luuv you " or junior Patti Stephens requests "love me. " All in a ll , if you say "groovy" more than once a week and "cool" isn't part of your everyday vocabulary, you'd better call someone fast. by Becky Mich e ls Freshmen Meegan Engler, Joe Stuhr, Sara Kruse, Mike Reineke, Mandy Pearon, Alicia Sanchez, Nichole Heck, Ann Hansman, Kori Nielsen and Drew Evers pose - "What hams!" Junior Patti Stephens and senior Jenny McGinn are "cool." Sophomore Dl(lmy Stock begs, "No wait, wait!" Seniors Gary Woody, Josh Bracker, Shawn Shea and Jason Wanning s ay "cheese." Michele Konz and Carolyn. Gorman definitely are not "loners." Juniors Scott Smith and Jenny Hotz sign "Peace." 11 t== Affections to Share Frtends or something more? Here at St Albert we have a way of being known as "close knit", but where does the public display of affection stop; a hug, a wink, an occasional joke, a kiss on the cheek, or a pat on the hynie. Has society really changed that much compared to the past, or has affection always been there, and just now able to come out in public? There are many different opinions on this view. Mrs. Kathy Beckman, health and physical education teacher, states, "I think society actu a lly h as changed . When I was in high school and college, 'flower power' and 'free love' was in and there was a lot more affection displayed then than now." However, Mr. John Shorey, history teacher, has a different outlook on the situation. "I don't think society has changed that much. There was a lot more public dis play of affection when I was in school than now," but continues, "if there is less PDA in school it is better." Fifty high school students were polled at random and 62% though t PDA was more expressive in the past two years. Another 31 % say th ere is more in the present time, while 7% were undecided. When asked if the students thought there was more PDA in our small school than in a larger school, the majority said they felt that no, there was h ardly any. Th e reasons for them saying "no" were many different though ts. From, "the teachers will yell at you" to "I think it is just sick." In a small school, when do you know what PDA means? The whole situation in the eyes of someone 12f II--===- younger is different. "I feel as though hugging or showing some kind of affection towards someone we care about is acceptable and is nothing more than what you see." stated senior Nikki Ravlin. It is just an example of how times change in every generation and that every person s view on the situation is just a tad bit different. by Terrt Petratis Showing a little embarrassment is sophomore Erin Fuchser as she receives a hug from her sweetheart sophomore Tony Mauer. Senior Josh Bracker and junior Wendy Larson, who are just buddies, display their friendship during lunch. PDA between friends of the opposite sex is often mistaken for more than friendly affection. PDA (public display of affection) can include things such as hand holding, hugging, kissing and touching. Most students at S.A. felt PDA was not a problem at school now, but was a concern in the past. Friends, sophomore Shawn Avise and junior Richelle Wilson, take tim e out for a quick hug bewteen classes. PDA is not a common sight in the halls of St. Albert. "I don't think society has changed ... if there is less PDA in school it is better." -John Shorey 13 t= Something to Do St. Albert students spend a lot of time dedicating themselves to schoolwork and extra -ciricular activities. However, the ringing of the 3 o'clock bell and the end of practice marks the start of the heavily anticipated nightlife. After-school "festivities" vary among St. Albert students. The agenda is usually dependent on age, or whether or not the student has a car. When asked what her activities consisted of, junior Myndi Straka said, "We usually just drive up and down Broadway, wandering around, sometimes I hit Burger King for something to eat. " Straka feels her activities are quite a bit different from those of others because, "some people wouldn't be caught dead driving around." Underclassmen aren't as free to choose what they do on weekends, simply because they don't usually have their driver's license. However, they're still perfectly capable of turning their afterschool hours into times of fun. Freshman Ann Hansman said, "I go out with friends, usually to Michala Haynie's. Then we just trash the place, and eat all of her food." When asked if sh e though t what she did at night was a big contrast from other people, she said , "Yes, becau se Michala makes it fun. " People often generalize teens and assume they all do the same thing after school and on weekends. Unfortunately, these assumptions are often for th e worst. For example, some think that rowdiness and alcohol are always a part of their activities. ::=3L,_1_4 ..,J-==-=== Senior Art Mendoza proves this thought to be very untrue. "I usually study or lift weights. I find anything that will keep me out of trouble." Whether it be finding a party or as sophomore Josh Gubbels says, "Doing what my friends want to do - usually going to a movie," SA students keep busy at night. by Patti Steph en s Juniors Jerome Patten and Dan Nieland spend their night just hanging out with friends. Sophomores Ryan Shea, Jill Konz, Valerie Graeve and Brad Krohn prepare to paint the town red in celebration of their newly granted licenses to drive.

Junior Emiliano Sanchez, senior Sarah Hobbins, junior Chad Arnold , s enior Lori Fox and junior John Hromodka gather at the McGinn h ouse to celebrate t he end of final's week. 11 I usually study or lift weights. I find anything that wi 11 keep me out of trouble. " -Art Mendoza 15 F= Rententber 1991 was a year many of us will Qever forget. As with any year, there were political issues debated, el~ctions lost and won, wars, entertainment, and scandals. Diseases were fought and battlefields were created, both of which touched close to home. Movies and music reached a new high, and fashion is found going in a circle, with nostalgic looks back in style. Perhaps the biggest, if not the most dynamic, occurance of autumn of 1991 was the fall of Communism in the Soviet Union. After five years of reform, Soviets were able to celebrate their freedom after the arrest of their leader, Mikhail Gorbachev, in the summer. Sexual harrassment became a n even bigger issue as college professor Anita Hill charged Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas of harrassment in the workplace eight years after the occurence. What Thomas referred to as a "high-tech lynching" prompted many women to s peak out against sexual h arrassment. This was the year for a presidential campaign to b egin. Candidates varied , including former Ku Klux Klan member David Duke, who lost in the race for governor of Louisiana yet proceeded to run for pres i~ ent. Frightening as it may seem, his policy that underpriveleged whites in the South are the real victims of predjudice cau sed him to earn s upport from more than a few (top left) Earvin "Magic" Johnson announced his retirement from basketball in early November.

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

Extracu c t iv ==t 181 ...... -==== ~ricular • • 1t1es Extra-curricular activities are an important part of the high school experience. Besides sports, there are many scholastic and artistic activities to be involved in. Some students who are involved in art or band take time outside of the classroom to perfect their talents. Students who wish to excercise their brains may be involved in the Academic Decathalon or the Brain Bowl. Christianity can shine through those who participate in the liturgy committee or are Eucharistic ministers. For those dramatic talents out there, there are plays and speech contests to enter. National Honor S ociety members must be active in volunteering their time. Many choose to be involved in one or many of these activities, and may even include a sport or two along the way. These activities deserve recognition for their hard work, just as sports do. Come to think of it, there are a lot of similarities. A good asset to have, both on the stage and on the court, is teamwork. Everything would eventually fall apart if not for that. by Janna Hicks 19 F= There are many different reasons as to why SOil].eone might volunteer to be a Eucharistic Minister or be on the Liturgy Committee. This year, there are 14 Eucharistic Ministers, compared to 10 last year. But what makes a person want to partake in this activity? For some, it's a chance to be involved in the church. others became Ministers just to say they did it. But according to senior Kevin Mortensen, "Last year there were a lot of respected people. Also it's a chance to show leadership. " The job of a Eucharistic Minister is to distribute communion during school masses. In order to prepare for their task, the 14 seniors attended a class taught by Fr. Bud where they learned what exactly the Eucharist was and, "how to offer it reverently," said Fr. Bud. Preparing for mass is the job of the Liturgy Committee. Membership on the committee has more than doubled since last year. Selecting music and the theme of the liturgy, along with ushering, reading and singing are all jobs the Liturgy Committee takes care of. Decorating, which includes designing banners and programs is an additional task of the commitee. Each job must be taken seriously if the group wants to achieve the goal of a successful mass, and every job is equally important. "We work well as a group," said junior Jenni Tobias. With all these responsibilities, one might wonder why so many people are interested in the Liturgy Committee. Some are involved just to have something to do , while others joined for fun. "I wanted to be more involved in school and God is the basis for our school, " said 20 senior Angie Christensen. Ms. Machmuller, who helps with the planning, added. "More people wanted to make the Liturgy more meaningful for the rest of the student body." "I wanted to do something for the school and since we are a Catholic school, I thought the Liturgy Committee would be a good place·to start," said Tobias. by Amber Ausdemore Senior Rich Swank administers Communion during the Homecoming Mass to sophomore Michelle Kroll.

Bud, and Ms. Machmuller take time out from planning masses to pose for the camera. Because of their dedication and hard work, masses were a success. "Last year there were a lot of respected people, also it's a chance to show leadership." -Kevin Mortensen 21 t= Attend Some of the most important things that corrie with attending a Catholic School aren't always recognized. "Here we get the chances to do a lot of different things, and we sometimes take advantage of them," said junior Wendy Larson. Everyone at St. Albert knows there is a mass each morning, but when was the last time that you took time out of your morning to stop in, just to be different, or try something new for a change? Why do you think you would need to be forced into going, by a coach on game day? Maybe this has never crossed your mind, or maybe you 're just too ashamed to show up. But wouldn't you think that by going to a Catholic school, students would acknowledge this privilege, and show up for mass just once in a while? When it comes to those big masses that need planning, Fr. Bud isn't always a lone. He has volunteer students on liturgy committee that are always around to help him plan out a mass. They help him decide what songs to sing, decorations and banner designs. With their input about past events in school and outside of school, Fr. Bud will base his homily. "When it comes to a Catholic schools masses, it's nice to know th at you can be of help. It makes going to the mass a lot more interesting," said junior J enny Christensen. Even though the morning masses don't see a lot of students, =:JL_2_2..r.= - it does't seem to bother Fr. Bud too much. "It's really just a nice way to start your day. " said Bud. Maybe that's the problem with us, we don't know the real way to start our day. " by Jenny Schmitz Fr. Bud explains the reasons for reconciliation at the junior/senior prayer senrice in December. Senior Robert Ruiz shares communion with Coach Marshall Scichilone at the St. Albert Feast Day Mass on November 25. SA students from the elementtirY and intermediate buildings joined the entire high school studeJlt body for the ceremony. Liturgy Committee members seniors Anne Holder, Missy Schmida and Rich Swank lend a helping hand during the Homecoming Mass. Grades 9 - 12 attended that September Mass. Bishop Bullock, Father Fred Cornwell and Father Bud Grant lead the SA student body in the Feast Day Mass. A total of seven clergy joined Father Bud in celebrating Mass. "It's a • nice way to start your day." -Father Bud 23 l=== CrcatiVity to Explore Art is something special to many kids at St. Albert. The way the art department works is very simple. One can join or take the class any year of high school - there are even seniors that take art for only one year, or maybe even a semester. For the first open house of the year, the art students from all levels display their art in the hall ways. Students in Art 1, concentrate on the basics su ch as color wh eels, valu e ch arts and developing creativity. Art 2 students work on sketching and the values of blending and drawing more still life objects. Art 3 involves Batik, a dying technique, printing and being creative with a ceiling tile from the a rt room. Art 4 is more on the lines of the individual creativity students have developed in th e previou s three years. The art department is also noted for designing program covers for concerts. masses, and many of the bulletin boards and signs hanging in the halls. In the past few years, students have had the opportunity to enter the Scholastic Art Award competition. This competition has awarded $200,000 in cash, scholarships and prizes for those who have entered in the past. Students at SA have been recognized in the Scholastic Art competition in the past. One student was awarded the high est honor, a gold key, as well as displaying h er work. Senior Krissy Lancial, who is enrolled in Art 1. said " It (art class) class) also made me realize that art is not just drawing, it is learning about colors and a lot of hard work. " Shawn Shea, a senior in art four said, "Art hasn't just been a class that teaches me to draw or be creative. It was an uplifting experence for my whole high school life". That credit goes to Ms. McGuire." by Terri Petratis Ms. McGuire looks over the work of sophomores Pat Conzemius and Gwen Gruber during art.

Who put it together?· Who wrote all the stories and took all the pictures? Credit goes to the Journalism 1 and 2 students who worked hard throughout the year getting everything together to meet those dreaded deadlines. Journalism is divided into two sections, Journalism 1, first year students, and Journalism 2 , second year students. Journalism 1 consists of learning the basics. As junior Amber Ausdemore said, "at first we take a lot of notes, which help us perfect our writing techniques," while Journalism 2 already knows this. Senior Jenny McGinn said, "There's more of a work load, and we're expected to know what to do. " Some people may think Journalism is a pretty easy going class because as senior Lori Fox said, "in this class you're kind of on your own. You do your own thing, and make sure you meet the deadlines. " There is a lot of independence, but also a lot of responsibility to meet deadlines. When asked why people joined the class, the responses were pretty much the same. Ausdemore said , "I've a lways liked the yearbooks and I wanted to be a part of them," while McGinn said, "I enjoy writing and photography. I plan to go into journalism as a profession." When the term marketing comes up in Journalism, it most likely involves selling ads. Students go around to different businesses and try to persuade them to buy a space in the yearbook or newspaper to advertise th eir business. =:3L_2_e_,..~~ Layouts put everything together - getting the stories to fit in the space provided and figuring out what size the pictures must be. Journalism is a challenging and rewarding experience. As Fox said, "You are creating this book that you're apart of. You made it, it's your work, and that's a neat feeling." by Jenny Christensen Junior Phil Hasenkamp gets all dressed up to go sell yearbooks while juniors Jenny Christensen and Molly Morrison stand by. The journalism staff consists of front row: Kyle Evans and Phil Hasenkamp. Second row: Myndi Straka, Amber Ausdemore, Jenny Schmitz and Jenny Christensen.

Back row: Becky Michels, Jenni Tobias, Patti Stephens, Jenny Hotz, Nikki Ravlin, Terri Petratis, Jenny McGinn, Lori Fox, Janna Hicks and Brenda Walter. Seniors Jenny McGinn and Janna Hicks work on journalism stories and prove the new computers to be not only very useful but also userfriendly. This year the entire yearbook was done on the computers. Miss Hoff devotes her time to helping Journalism 1 students with their layouts. "In this class you're kind of on your own. You do your own thing, and make sure you meet the deadlines." -Lori Fox 27 F== Something to Sing About Because of th~ir small size, the St. Albert band and choir are often overlooked. But that is beginning to change. The band is headed by Mr. Leeka, a new teacher, while the choir is lead by Mrs. Stephany, another new teacher to S.A. The choir sings at all the Masses and at the Christmas and Spring concerts. Beside their class duties, both instuctors helped with the production of "Do Black Patent Leather Shoes Really Reflect Up?" in the fall. The concert band consists of 20 players from the Jr. High. There is no high school band as of yet, but the future seems promising as the younger players come into high school. The band also played an important part at the spring talent show. Mr. Leeka a lso teaches band for grades four through six, and he says, "There are many talented students on the way up. " As for the choir, some of their goals are to develop fine singing voices the whole school and the general public can be proud of. Mrs. Stephany stated , "One our goals is to make the St. Albert Concert Choir something the stu - dents want to be pa rt of." The music ranges from pop to Christian rock and from easy list en - ing to inspirationa ls. The choir meets during fifth period on Tuesdays, Thursdays, a nd Fridays. On Mondays, th e girls meet alone while the boys h ave a study hall, and the boys meet a lone on Wednesdays while the girls h ave a study hall. The Pop Ch oir meets during 08 on Tuesdays. Th e choir even got to participate in the All-City Music Festival held at Abraham Lincoln High School. The Concert Choir consists of nine people, Pop Choir eight people and seventh and eighth choir has 11 people. There is beginning to be a brighter outlook for the music programs at S.A. by J enni Tobias Mrs. Stephany, in her first year at St. Albert, plays the piano in rehearsal for the next performance. Sophomore Gwen Gruber learns that practic e makes perfect ·as she rehearses for her next performance . Sophomores Crista Cihacek, Maria Kay, Angie Spitznagle, Amy Spitznagle, freshman Becci Wilson and junior Richelle Wilson practice hitting their high notes in choir practice. Students practiced during 08 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The choir listens patiently while Mrs. Stephany gives instructions on the notes they should be hitting throughout the song. The choir made its first debut during the Homecoming Mass in September. "One of our goals is to make the choir something the students want to be a part of." -Mrs.Stephany to Expand Students at Saint Albert are given the opportunity to be a member of an intellectual organization called the Academic Decathlon. The organization creates a positive school image, changes the students attitudes and creates academic role models. The team consists of nine fulltime students from the eleventh and or twelfth grades of the same high school. Each team is made up of three Honor roll students, three Scholastic students and three Varsity students as indicated by grade point average, Honor 3. 75- 4.00 GPA; Scholastic 3.00-3. 74 GPA; Varsity 0.00-2.99 GPA; according to the Academic Decathlon study guide. Contestants may compete in a higher division than their own GPA category but not in a lower division. Matt Barton stated, "I became a member for the comrodery, for the knowledge. And it looks good on different applications." Members meet once a week in 08 and discuss certain topics such as science, language and literature, Fine Arts and economics, speech es, essays and interviews. Each team member competes in all 10 events of the Decathlon and is eligible for individual medals in all 10 events. Only six scores count for the final team standing in the competitionthe top two Honor scores, the top two Scholastic scores, and the top two Varsity scores. Senior Janna Hicks commented "It takes a lot of committment and you must enjoy tackling difficult subject matters." Academic Decathlon it's not a club just for the honor roll students, but anyone who is interested can become a member. Team members are seniors Janna Hicks, Matt Barton, Kyle Wandersee, Rich Swank, Justin Morris, Tony Daley, Rob Ruiz and juniors are Erin Walsh, Angel Bernemann, Cari Biede, Emily Howlett. Becky Michels, and Megan Birkhofer. by Nikki Ravlin Mrs. Helen Wise and senior Rich Swank show how much fun Academic Decathalon is. Members of the Academic Decathalon are (front row): Matt Barton, Janna Hicks, Justin Morris, Erin Walsh, Angel Bernemann, Cari Biede, Megan Birkhofer, and (back row): Rich Swank, Rob Ruiz, and Tony Daley. Senior Rich Swank gives two thumbs up to the Academic Decathlon as teammates seniors Kyle Wandersee and Janna Hicks and junior Angel Bernamann concentrate. Juniors Angel Bernamann, Cari Biede and Erin Walsh h a\re second thoughts about what they've gotten themselves into at an Academic Decathlon meeting. "It takes a lot of commitment and you must enjoy tackling difficult subject matters." -Janna Hicks 31 to Display Have you ever wondered what Student Council does? After all, they are the voice of the student body. They are often overlooked by all of us, and even by the administration at times. How much power does the council actually have? Junior class psresident Chad Arnold said, "We really don't have that much power to change things. The administration usually just hears what we have to say, but isn't generally influenced by our opinions." One of the things the Council does is picking up the pop cans. Each quarter, a different class is chosen to cash in the cans, and with the money, they will all buy something for the school that everyone can enjoy. Every year, the junior class works with parents on the prom committee. Together, they choose the theme, location, and post-prom activities for the juniors and seniors. Senior Missy Schmida, student council president, has been on the Council for all four years. She said, "It's a lot of work, especially around Homecoming, because we sponsor the dance. We also decorate the school for Christmas. Before school even starts, we welcome the new students to our school." Student Council sponsor, Mrs. Maryann Angeroth said, "They all work very well with each other, as well as working very hard at what they do." Senior Jenny McGinn sums up the student council like this, "A lot of times we get off track at our meetings, but we mean well, and we do get a lot of things accomplished." So next time you need someone to help you speak out on an issue, think of going to the Student Council for help. After all, they are there to help our student body get what they need. by Jenni Tobias Junior Michele Konz and freshman Ann Narmi decorate the school for Christmas.

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

"It (the group) speaks well for a person and is something to be quite proud of," -Mr. Wilson 35 F== I lead to Toe National Honor Society- some believe it's a club for the smart, but it's more than that to others. NHS is made up of students who prove themselves to be well-rounded people not only in school but in the community as well. Members of NHS must excel in the areas of character, leadership, scholarship, and service. Members are expected to have a 3.25 cumulative grade point average, volunteer hours, while also being active in the school and community. In the role of leadership, the student doesn't have to be in an elected position, but must show signs of leadership in what they do. NHS provides a lot of things to its members and others as well. Not only does it look good for college, but members dedicate a lot of time and services to the public and St. Albert whether it be helping at handicapped or drug DARE camps, teaching dance lessons, such as senior Angie Christensen, or doing parish work. The honor of being in the NHS is one that is saved until students meeting the requirements are at least sophomores. Reasons vary for why people want to be in NHS. Some feel NHS is a good thing to have on a college application. Others, including sponsor Mrs. Swartz, believe it is a good way to recognize and award students for their time and work given to St. Albert and the communtiy. Mrs. Swartz said it is a difficult balance and those who do and do it well deserve it. No matter what reason students want to join, one prominent factor seems to be agreeable with the most of the 25 current members. All of them did what was required of them ==t 36 not because they want to be in this group, but because it was natural. As Senior Kevin Mortensen explained he didn't do what was asked of him because he wanted to be in NHS he said "I just tried to be myself.

One week before the fall musical, "Do Black Patent Leather Shoes Really Reflect Up?" was scheduled to premiere, the school board reviewed the script and found it objectionable. This action was due to parents confronting the school board at a meeting about the subject matter of the play. The script supposedly was to be a satire of Catholic schools in the 50's and 60's but some had a different point of view, finding it to be a mockery of the Catholic education and faith. Though the cast was stopped dead in their tracks by the news, they never once lost their "shine". Not wanting to let six weeks of memorizing lines and perfecting their vocals go to waste, an agreement was made to delete a few minor parts that were found offensive and the musical was once again on. A performance was shown to the high school students in the afternoon and by invita tion only that same night. J u nior Stacy Mcintosh and sophomore Danny Stock filled the positions of the major leads, while others su ch as seventh graders Nikki Zaccone, Becky Netter, and Colin O'Toole, eighth grad - ers Gina Roane, McClain Smouse, and Tony Fisher, freshman Na te O'Toole, sophomore Kelly Wa ls h , juniors Becky Michels and Erin Wals h and senior Andrea Versaci contributed an important part in the making of the musical.

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

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

But what better way to start vacation, with the Christmas Dance. Even though the night was clear and no snow was falling, it was a Christmas Dance full of excitment and Christmas spirit. This year the dance was voted informal, opposed to years before. "It was more of a relaxed atmosphere because we weren't informal," stated sophomore Arny Davis. Others agreed with Arny. "It's such a hassle to find a formal dress and since Prom is formal, it gives you something to look forward to, " senior Nikki Ravlin commented. According to senior Chad Graeve, "Th e music was much better and it was easier to get down. But I feel that they should provide us with beverages."

Classes aren't the only things on juniors' minds this year. They have tests to think about. like the ACT, SAT, and the PSAT.

As far back as kidnergarten, senior Molly Malone recalls "trading shoes during naptime and putting them on the wrong feet." Grade school flew by, and new students came and old friends went. Middle school brought square dancing in P.E. class, sex education classes, and those big newspapers and crucial student council meetings. ''The battle of the sexes is what I'll always remember about sixth grade," commented senior Rich Swank. This was the year of boys against girls in everything from base soccer to who got called on first in class. This final year before junior high was taken seriously by more than a few members of the class of '92. Senior Missy Schmida reflected, ''I'll never forget how much we hated each other." Junior high came a nd went, slower for some than others as "ugly stages" took their toll. It was here that junior high dances were more than just ice breakers, as tension was still very existent between some classmates. As high school began, braces came off (slowly but surely) and the concept of social events changed drastically.

Now the seniors are faced with a new future, whether it be college, the armed forces, or work. That is what makes planning so necessary, and it took some seniors their whole year to plan what they were going to do after their high school graduation. As Frank Roane said, "I knew 62 ""'i-==-= Shane Nielsen from the day I was born that I was going to pe a farmer."

Christensen added, "You want to make sure you're getting the best b ecause it's your future. You • Melissa Schmid a • • want to mak e sure you fit in and do well.

Distanc e from home can be a big factor when choosing a college. What do most consider when looking at a college? Senior Angie Christensen said," I ask myself if it's a good college, do they have my major, and can afford it." Location, price, majors, the quality of education and athletics, are some of th e standards that people look a t when deciding. :::dL_s_4.j--- Shawn Shea Suzanne Sillik Choices Chad Standard Peter Stronck Michael Swank to Make (Far left top): The cathedral on the Creighton campus represents the religious aspect in choosing a collegefor many seniors.

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

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

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

Poole C. Swank to Di$play As stude:qts, we usually take for granted how smoothly and efficiently our school runs. Truth is, there are a lot of people working hard to keep St. Albert going. Hard work, dedication, stress, devotion these words all describe our administration. The school's administrators are the rule makers, rule enforcers, decision makers, and over seers that keep St. Albert in order. The administration consists of Msgr., Chamberlain, Dr. Avise , Mr. Jaworski, Mr. Bragg, Mrs. Wandersee, and Mr. Scichilone. More times th an n ot, a dministra tors are s een a s a studen t's enemies. However, more then we know or ca re to believe, our administrators do wha t's best for the student body. The rules are for our benefit. This school year a lot of new teachers and faculty came to St. Albert. "We did a good job of selecting staff to join us this past year. The people we brought in h ave the potential to be outstanding educators, " said Dr. A vise. Another less pleasant job of the administrators is that of giving demerits. They are given for uniforms, tardies, food in the academic wings, and other violations of the handbook and are given many times a day. This isn't a pleasant job , but someone h as to do it. "I've gotten a lot of demerits for my skirt. I don't think its fair, but I gu ess that's the rule ," said sophomore J ess Brown. We all see our group of admin istrators around school, but school is only about 75% of th eir life. But wh a t they do with the other 25%? Look aroun d a t every game, meet , and school function. You ar e sure to see th em showing their support for the school they love. by Amber Ausdemore =tL..:7.:2...J--- Msgr. Chamberlin Superintendent Dr. Avise Principal ( 1 Mr. Jaworski Asst.

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

The girls trying out had to learn a cheer, make one up and do two jumps. Next the new squad members chose captain and co-captain; junior Stacy Mcintosh was chosen as captain and junior Sara Kinart as co-captain. Summer came and practices started for the girls to prepa re for camp at Lake Okoboji.

"I never pictured myself a s a cheerleader with so much work to do, all year round, but I really enjoy it. It has given me the chan ce to become stronge r friends with a lot of great people," said co-catain Kinart. Younger spirit leaders were freshman Sa ra Kruse, Meegan Engler, Kori Nielsen , Amy Patten, J essica Andersen , J essica Wels h , and Mandy Pearon. Just like varsity cheerleaders, the freshman cheerleaders get to vote for a captain and co-captain. Nielsen was voted captian and Pearon co-capta in. "Being a cheerleader is a fun experien ce, and we're all great fri ends. We just stick together," Kruse said. "The ch eerleaders this year have b een grea t to work with.

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

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

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

With their first year in highschool, the freshmen team managed a successful year. With the la rge number of girls goin g out, it was n ecessary to have both an A and B team.

Others said th ey just wanted to stay in sh a pe. But, as Sharon Whetstone stated , "I wanted to get to know th e game, and account for my mistakes, not for anyone elses.

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

Teamwork is the backbone of the team, for without it, there is no way to work, play, and win together. According to senior Melissa Schmida, "Teamwork to me means working as one, doing everything you can to make the whole team look better, not just you. To be a team player, you can never think of yourself first." It was evident when watching the team play that there was a strong sense of unity. Just as evident was the unity off the court. Support for the team was better than ever, with th e crowd cheering the team on. "The support we got from the crowd was great. Having people there means so much and gets our intensity back up," commented senior Terri Petratis. There were many loyal students who followed the team to away games, and gave the team the extra support th ey needed. This also was a s pecial year for head coach Kathy Beckman. After The 1991 volleyball Saints are front: Amy Davis, Jacque Hughes. Second row: Laura Scurlock, Kelly Hughes, Katie I Heithoff, Melissa Schmida, Lori Fox. Back row: Bridgette Boettcher, Jenni Tobias, Patti Stephens, Terri Petratis, Jeanine Masker and Coach Kathy Beckman. 86 being head coach for four years, she decided to step down from the position to give more attention to her family. Many feel that this is a landmark year for all the fall sports, especially for volleyball. There were many personal and team goals for the players. Schmida felt that as a team they did have a goal. "We really want to get to "state," and we are trying our hardest to reach this goal, but of course we have obstacles." The obstacle turned out to be Essex, who defeated the Saintes in four games. That was a landmark game, though, for that was the farthest the Saintes had ever reached in state tournament com - petition. As a whole, the volleyball sea son was marked with memorable events. For each individual on the team, there were personal high - lights of the season. For Pe tratis, the highlight of the sea son was "just the closeness of the team.

The junior varsity team came together to have one of the best seasons in S.A. history, finishing the season at 6-0 ,while the freshman/ sophomore team battled to a 3-4 record. The young Falcon s were never out of a game; the largest margin of defeat was six points. The main goal of any junior varsity team is to get experience working as a unit, and getting experience to work through all sorts of different situations. Although the J unior Falcons were never really tested this season. th ey easily defeated all their opponents.

According to freshman Tommy Hugh es, "the season wen t well, but we should've pulled out some of the losses." Like all things, the season h ad to come to an end, but can be best summed up by junior Brendan Ryan ,"This year was fun and exciting. We wor ked great as a team, and were n ever cha llenged.

Positive attitudes and determination are key factors to a successful season. Senior Andy Turner commented " I feel tha t we have the athletes and experience to make it to the Playoffs. " Th e Falcons proved to th emselves that no goal is too big for them and, in giving it all they h ad , the season was a unbelievable success. They opened up their season with teams such as Missouri Valley, Thomas J efferson and Flanagan. The Falcons h ad an advantage hosting six ou t of the nine regular season games at home. Having no dominating player, th e Fa lcons are an u n u sually balanced t eam. Cornerback J erry Schmitz added "Our team is so balanced and everyone is so important, you can not single out one main player and this is why no team h as been able to run or pass the ball successfully against u s." Senior Doug Hansman lead th e team with 773 yards rushing while Senior Kelly O'Connor lead with 30 yards receiving and had 69 tackles.

Tim Evers gave it his best, ending the season with three fumble recoveries. ·It goes to show that a lot of hardwork and dedication can really pay off in the end. The 1991 varsity football team set an example for the up and coming players who will have the chance to fill their s hoes next season. But that's not always an easy task. Senior Kelly O'Connor wa s awarded most va luable player and wa s also named Senior player of the year in the city. O'Connor commented" I was very s urprised , it is h a rd to be recognized with great athletes like Bria n Ratigan and Aaron Walter, but I h ave to give a lot of credit to my team , they equa lly deserve the honor a ls o."

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

Well, that's where ma turity and dedication come into play. The Falcons did their best to a chieve personal goals, and make the best of what they h a d. Meeting individual goals s eemed to be a common a spira tion for the team. When asked what drew him to the sport of wrestling, freshman Mike Wise sa id, "It's an individua l sport." According to junior Justin Crampton, wrestling is exciting beca u se, "It's one-onone . It's more yourself than the team out there." As in any sport, pra ctice is the thing behind the success. Senior . Tim Evers found practice to b e very ben eficial. "It kept me in s h a pe, and improved my skills." This was quite obvious, as Evers went 13 -0 before his first loss of th e season. What did practices consist of? "Hard work, sweat, rock and roll, and some la ugh s," said Coach Lintner. v A R s I T y w R E s T L I N G (left)Sophomore Shawn Avise holds a stiff base as he resists his opponent's strength.

The Saintes ended the season with a 12-3 record. It was combined with a lot of young talent; a few varsity players stepped down to help out the team. At first there were a couple of players that thought it was unfair, but learned that it helped them understand the game more. ''The team made me feel welcome and basketball helped me get to know the girls better," said sophomore Sarah Hoogestraat. ''There was something unique about the team," freshman Sharon Whetstone commented. "If we didn't get along off the court, we made sure we got along on the court. We didn't let our other problems interfere with the game." Sa intes coach, Pat Kroll, encouraged the team when th ey were beh ind . "lf th e coach was mad we Sophomore Kelly Hughes hugs coach Tom Heithoff with great enthusiasm as the rest of the JV team looks on with exc itment. made sure we looked at our own faults and not anyone elses," added sophomore Amy Davis. The games within themselves were very intense at times. The smell of victory came with ease to the Saintes. ''They went into the games with a positive attitude, and if they got down on themselves I reassured them that they were playing fine they just needed to relax," commented Kroll. The basketball program seems to be improving and looks very promising for the Saintes in the future. Whetstone seems to think that, "j.v. prepa res you for varsity and helps you learn more about the game and helps you deal with the pressure of playing at the varsity level. There will be a strong Saintes bas ketba ll team in the future if we continue to play together as a team ."

With long and hard hours of practice, the Saintes had high expectations and goals for the season. "Going into the season, we wanted to play to the best of our ability and excel with each game. Our main goal was to win city, thus giving us the advantage to advance further into the tournament," said Coach Heithoff. Little did they know that the season would be one to remember. The motto for the team was "this is the first and only game of the season." With a 17-5 record, the Saintes certainly played as if it were. In the first game of the season, the girls defeated city rival, A.L. Junior Michele Konz said," The win was a real uplift. It was our first game and we proved we could beat A.L. , even with Cathy Mauer playing." The Saintes never looked (1992 Saintes basketball team:Back:) Tracy Minor, Sarah Hoogastraat, Asst.

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

"After we got used to each other we seemed to work more as a team and there was more unity within, " said sophomore Chris Eckrich. They had some tough teams on the schedule, but they seemed to handle them well. 'The harder the team, the better we played, we seemed to play the easy teams more relaxed. When we played the harder ones, we knew how much pressure we had on us. Therefore, we played a lot better," said Smith. Their practice seemed to go well throughout the season.

"We were great as a team, but our record didn't show it," said sophomore Brad Krohn. "I would like it if everyone would have gotten the chance to get off the bench more often and get more involved in the game ," said Eckrich. Basketball is a game played as a team and this years JV squad had great unity even if the record didn't show it. As for the freshman team it showed team unity as well. "It took the team a while to come together because we had a lot of talent. Even though we had problems with some players we still stuck together," freshman Eric Wallner explained. It took awhile to become a strong t eam, "but at the end of the season we were all playing basketba ll instead of trying to impress people ," added Wallner. by J enny Schmitz and sta ff Left: freshman Andy Nicholas looks for a pass t o complete the play.

Tennis is a very popular past time for many people, some play for recreation and some play for a living, but as senior Janna Hicks said "tennis is fun in itself. I like doing things I enjoy with people I enjoy. " Junior Elin Walsh also a dded, "I like the excitement of th e one-on-one physical activity." The girls started off their season on a good note, by defeating Duchesne for the first time in St. Albert tennis history. The squad had a lot of personal goals as Walsh stated "to push myself to be better, not necessarily to win, but to be b etter at my game." Th e team had goals as well, to display a positive a ttitude , and h ave fun doing it. Coach Vince The 1992 Saintes tennis team: Sarah Hobbins, Missy Schmida, Amy Spitzenagle, Angie Spitzenagle.

Ace Rew had goals for the squad and himself, being to "win" and "to estaplish a more respectable girls tennis program. " These goals were very promising for the '92 girls tennis season and future season as well. "Hard workers who are committed to being their best and winning" is how Coach Rew desciibed his girls. The squad had a positive outlook going for it.

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

Everyone had their own individual goals, but instead of focusing on what they could do for themselves, they focused mainly on what they could do for the team. There are some highlights individually, though, and for senior Mike Wiegman, his greatest accomplishment during the regular season for both himself and the team was "getting second place at the Atlantic Tournament at number one doubles with Justin Pekny." As a whole, the team performed very well at the tournament, placing third. There could be no team without a coach, and back for h is second year was Coach Vince Rew. Not only did Rew lend support, according to Pekny, "Coach Rew helped me with some aspects of my game." As a whole, the team came together to strive for the best. As that old saying goes, you get back what you put into it. By Janna Hicks BOYS' T E N N I s (Above:) Senior Pete Thompson shows off his form while returning a volley to his oppon ent.

She helped the kids with their range shots and putting," said Coach Heithoff. No matter where they ended up, the team played the holes, and enjoyed themselves fully. "Some of our goals this season were based around the players themselves. Sometimes we just needed work on putting or long range shots. It was all a matter of playing," said Heithoff. Th ere may not seem to be much to golf, but a lot of the golfers don't seem to mind. "I went out last year and I had a lot of fun.

A good time and support from both the coach es and the team players is what will take them through the season. This years team consists of a small number. In comparision to the last few years, there aren't as many seniors as th ere u sed to be. " Right now we're just trying to rebuild it," said Heithoff.

If this sound makes you duck your head, you are probably on the boys golf team. They had a lot of talent during their '92 season. This years group was a 50-50 mix of veterens, like seniors Andy Vanfossan and Shane Nielsen. Sophomore Brad Krohn is already an outstanding member of the team and also plays varsity. On the varsity team of six, there was a blend of seniors to freshman, fighting for the other three spots, seniors David Wulff and Matt Barton, junior Kyle Evans and the sophomores Tom Hromadka, Chad Smith and Casey Sautter. With all the tough competion, it would be hard for any of the freshman to stand out, but Pat Malone and Greg Kellogg pulled it off. Leading the "rabbits"-freshman who play a lot and improve to get in next year were Josh Homer, Jason Ronfeldt and Joe Stuhr. What is senior Shane Nielsen's advice for the younger ones,?

" The team was expected to win most of the matches and especially the City Meet where they have many rivals. The younger members on the team will have some pretty big s hoes to fill , when the s enior veterens go, with Andy Vanfossan as a four year starter on varsity, and Neilsen, who h as been in the top five for the la st three years.

The team was one of excellent quality and consisted of a lot of returning players. Senior Rich Swank said, "Our seniors have been playing together for a long time. We know what to expect from each other and that helps us to play better and get along with everyone on the team." For the most part, the guys were all geared up for the season. Most of the team seemed to have a touch of spring fever that even the unsuspected April snowstorm could not stop. The snow may have cancelled school for an extra day, but it did not stop the guys from preparing themselves and making some new changes to their field. This year the SA field included a new bull pen , a wall along the left field line, a new warning track and fence.

As always, when it's time for a new season to roll around, new players come out of the woodwork waiting for their chance to go out and put their best foot forward. As usual, the rookies will have to work a lot harder than normal to prove their worthiness and show the other guys that they also have something to contribute. Freshman Tim Howarth wanted to give his team, "Power, a good center field, and a season with no errors." When it was time for this year's team to go out and show off their stuff, the student body and faculty were all up in the stands cheering them on and h elpin g them onto each and every victory.

"We know what to expect from each other and that helps us play better." -Rich Swank --=-1l 121 t:= Gratitude to Extend Backstage, on the sidelines, or behind the bench are all places where managers are seen (or not seen). These are the people to which the atheletes owe many thanks, because if it weren't for managers there would be no organization. The job of manager consists of not just writing down statistics or collecting equipment, but lending support to the coach and the players as well. "Managers are vitally important to the coaches and the team," Fr. Bud Grant stated. Coaches are often in dire need of managers, and too often the work is done by players, coaches, and even parents. "If the managers weren't there, the players would have no clue of how well they are doing because they wouldn't have any information," said senior Tina O'Brien. O'Brien is one example of a person who can't find the time to actually play the sport, but chooses to be a manager because of the interest she has in it, such as cross country. People often wonder what would possess a person to take on such a "thankless job", but often =:::t 122 times managers are who they are because they cannot be on the team due to lack of time or because of an injury. Then again, a manager could be simply doing a job because they want to. O'Brien explains, "A manager is someone who cares enough to be there even when they don't have to be." This !s a quality of not just a manager, but a leader as well. This may be why managers at St. Albert are able to use the time they spend on the sidelines as service hours for National Honor Society and scholarships. Often managers don't receive credit where credit is due. The hard work these students put in should be acknowledged, at least more than it is. Being a manager may look easy, but it is very time consuming and much responsibility is laid upon that person. by Jenny McGinn 1991-92 managers: Andrea Versaci, Ramsey Jabro, Dan Doner.

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

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

"I was happy to see more people than usual up at State, but I would like to think that if there wouldn't have been a football game up there too, people would still have come," stated senior Molly Malone Both boys and girls teams qualified for the state comptition and finished very well overall. The boys finshed second while the girls finished seventh. Finishing second at Sta te wa s the highest finish ever for the St. Albert boys' team. Doing well at sta te wasn't all that the cross country teams did . Both the girls' and boys' teams were also District and Conference Champions. For the Saintes, Jill Konz came in sixteenth, first for the Saintes. Other finishes included Andrea Versaci at thirtith.

The boys individual standings were Danny Stock twenty-fifth,;Phil Hasenkamp twenty-eighth; Shawn Jones thirty-fou rth,;Mike Swank finished fifty-first; Mike Doner fifty-second while Jason Smith finished sixty-sixth. All in all everyone did a good job at state and are ready to come back n ext year and do even better. The team is pretty young and that gives you a lot of potential for the years to come.

Road • "It was just a great experience , I'll never forget" Coach Schcilone I Glory After missing out on a trip to the playoffs last year, the '91 Falcons answered with resounding fashion. The Falcons not only got an invite to the playoffs, they made it all the way to the semifinals before being defeated by Rock Rapids Central Lyon 39-13. The Falcons gave fans another added bonus, by hosting the first round game at Falcon Field. Numerous fans braved the single-digit temperatures to cheer on the home team, as they clashed with first round opponent, Mapleton-Maple Valley. The Falcons punished the Rams 49- 15. According to junior Matt Smith, "The score just proved how good we really were." The win also signified the first time in S.A. history, that a football team had won 10 games in a season . Along with the second round came the snow and ice. Due to the treacherous conditions, the game was moved to Jack Trice Memorial Stadium in Ames, Iowa. This marked the first time that a S.A. team had played in a college stadium. "It wa s a hectic s chedule, things were just happening too fast, " Stated Coach Scichilone. The quarterfinals pitted Roland-Story against S.A. The Norsemen were at the advantage, getting the Falcons up at 4 a .m. in order to make it to Ames by game time. The Falcons took a posi ive attitude into the locker room at h alftime with a two point advantage, leading 2-0. In the s econd h alf, the Falcons kicked in th e afterburners, s coring 18 points on two touchdowns and Smith's 3 1-yardfield goal. Th e Falcons went on to win 20-6. Th e Falcons faced the Lion s of Rock Rapid Central Lyon. The game wa s played in Vermillion, South Dakota in the DakotaDome . This was another first for th e mighty Falcons.

Bu t. n ever being a team to quit. the Falcons battled back to score makin g the final 39-13 . "It was a dream come true, ever sin ce I"ve been a coach we've been hoping to get to that third game.

Garfield July 12, 1880 Council Bluffs Offices 29 S. Main 1722 Madison Ave. IF YOU'RE INm DOPE, YOU MIGHT AS WELL SMOKE THIS. There's one sure way to see your future go up in smoke. Do drugs. Last year alone, America's businesses lost more than $60 billion to drugs. So this year, most of the Fortune 500 will be administering drug tests. If you fail the test, you're out of a job. The message is simple. Doing drugs could blow your whole education. WE'RE PUTTING DRUGS OUT OF BUSINESS.
