MONTICELLO 1938 ................................................ 0 Thomas Jefferson on Parade The following tale is fictitious in itself, bur it is true m the respect that it may have happened at any time. It was one of those swe ll Mondays that so often comes after a drizzly week-end. The sk y was an azure blue, the trees and grass had a freshness to their greenness that had come with the spring rains the day before, flowers held all the colors of the spectrum collected from the rainbow which had followed the preceding d ay's showers. All the windows in the school were open and the students divided their time between the lesson and the invitations that the spring weather was sending out. The office was busy with the usual first-period work that accompanies Monday mornings, making our admits, typing letters, answering telephone calls, and answering numerous questions to students. l\!Ir. Mye rs was in his private office in conference when suddenly he popped our the doo r, looked around to see who was in the outer office, seemed to be satisfied and said, Journalism Room "Bob, will you step into my office a minute? There's something I want to do that I think you'll enjoy!" "Why surely, Mr. Myers. But I should get back to class-" "That will be taken care of. In fact, you may nor attend your regular classes f or two days. Don't look so astounded, I'll explain m a moment. " "Bob, I want you to meet l\!Ir. Strumm and Mr. Avers." "Glad to know you, Bob," exclaimed Mr. Strumm, a big man, who looked as if h e might have been an athlete in his school days, as he shook hands. O ..... .... ..... .. .......... .......... .. ... ....... .... ___ ______ [PAGE 33] ··----······-··············-·------ -- ---·················--·-··D 0.----------------------------------------------- M 0 N T I CE LL 0 1 9 3 8 __ _ ---------- ----------------------------------0 " How do you do, young man," said Mr. Avers as he was introduced. Mr. Avers was a tall, lanky fellow, with a twinkle in his eye and a smile on his face. H e looked as if he were always ready for a good rime. Bob acknowledged both the introductions bur his face still held a look of mute aston:shment char made all three of the men laugh. "Bob," said Mr. Myers, "we'll rake the suspense from you r mind at once. l\tlr. Strumm and Mr. Avers are on an educa tiona l survey and are going around the country to different high sch'.)ols, observing how they operate, and then they are to put their observations down in writing for the average layman to read. Today and tomorrow they're going to be here at Thomas J efferson Print Shop-First Period and I want you to be their guide and show them all of the school, the classes, club meetings, and make their short stay as entertaining and educa tional as possible. P lan your own program, Bob, and gentlemen, I know that you will have an enjoyable time with Bob as your guide." "Well,'' said Bob, "To put it mildly, I've been caught short-winded with the whirlwind of events that have just occurred. I hardly know where to start, but as I see a Signal there on the counter it gives me the idea that we may as well start with the Journa lism department. It's located in the other building and as we walk over there, I'll tell vou a little about Thomas Jefferson High School. It was built in 1922 and is one of the newest school buildings in Council Bluffs. It was intended for a capacity of about P.ight hundred and, although it is only 16 years old, it has a population of about eleven hu ndred students, making it far too crowded. The building is fire proof and it has one of D ----------------·-------- ----------------------- ---·--- ---- - [PACE 34 I --- -·------------·-- ------- ------ 0 0. ............................................... M 0 N T I CE LL 0 l 9 3 8 ............................................... 0 the best football fields and tracks that you would find at any high school the same size. But here we are at the journalism room. "This first period class is responsible for the Sigllal, the house organ at T. ]., which is published every Friday, if finances permit. The managing editors are H elen Boylan and V era Flenker, juniors. The boy sitting at that table is Bill Kissel, front page editor, and the girls you see are either typing copy or working on contracts. Miss H azel Miller is the advisor of the Signal and teaches all the journalism m school. J ournalism I stuManltaf Training dents act as reporters, and the advanced journalism class, the class which we are now in, handles all the editing of the copy and the making up of the pages. The room is well equipped for putting out the paper, as it has four typewriters, plenty of room to work in7 ,and a gocdly number of reference books. The nicest feature of the location of the journalism room is that it is right next to the print shop. Right through rhis door." "Bob, do you mean to tell me that your school paper is put out by your own print shop?" questioned Mr. Avers. " Y es indeed, sir," answered Bob. "And not only that, they print the report cards, blanks, forms and the like needed in the superintendent's office, do all the printing that the school office needs such as the permanent record cards, all sorts of tickets, programs for plays, bulletins, well almost everything you can think of that an educational institution such as ours needs. The output from here is greater than of a lot of commercial print shops." o ................................................ .............. [PAGE 35 1 ............................................................... 0 0 -- ------------------ ---------------------------- M 0 N T ICE LL 0 I 9 3 8 -- ---- ----------- ------ ---- ------ ------------- -0 "They certainly are well equipped," remarked Mr. Strumm. "Right, sir. There are two small presses for small jobs, the big cylinder press for the Signal and other large jobs, in fact it's better equipped than most of the commercial shops. This year the print shop has a lot more space as it was moved from what is now part of rhe manual training department. This used to be the ROTC hall. "Mr. Carl Gernerzky is the instructor and this class is of his advanced students. They're the ones that run the Signal off the press. Mr. Gernetzky is quite a camera hound and Concert Band takes all the school pictures. He has taken all of rhe pictures for rhe annual, r xcept of course the senior pictures, which is quite an item when you think about it. Some of his work is remarkable and he's making a name for himself in rhe amateur field . Through this door and we'll go on to the manual training shop. " Our manual training shop is ve ry well equipped also. There's Mr. C. H . Carter, instructor, sharpening the teeth of one of the circula r saws from rhe table saw. Mr. Carter, hesides teaching all the manual training classes and lathe, handles the learhercrafr department as well." " Leathercrafr, eh?" asked Mr. Srrumm. 'Tl! bet that's a fascinating subject! I wish I could have taken it when I was in high school." " Ir is an interesting subj ect and one that is quite in demand among rhe students. Roys and girls alike take it and th ey turn out some surprisingly fin e specimens. Pocketl:iooks, hillfolds, card cases, bookends, bookmarks, book covers, well in fact rhe students turn out 0 --- ------ -- ---·---·--··---------·------- --------···--------· [PACE 36 1 ---D 0 -- --------------- -·-·-- · ···---- . _ -·----···- M 0 N T I CE LL 0 1 9 3 8 ················-···----·--··········-·······-0 almost any leather object that you can imagine. Some of the work is quite valuable because of the exquisite designs that are tooled into the leather and the fact that the work is by hand makes it more valuable." "Bob," Mr. Avers queried, "I noticed some kind of rock m the window as we came m. Can you tell us what it is?" "I'm glad you reminded me of that, !'Vlr. Avers. That at the present is one of the most interesting ventures of the manual training shop. That rock is what they call alabaster. Geenral Science Class I believe it comes from somewhere in W;·oming. If you will notice, it has very beautiful designs in it, which are really brought out to perfection on the finished job." "But how in the world do they work it?" questioned Mr. Avers. "I see no facilities for working on rock around here." "The way that alabaster can be worked is the most remarkable quality about it. Believe it or not, gentlemen, this material can be cut with a hand saw and turned on the wood lathes. The boys have really turned out some fine work from this alabaster. Bookends, lamps, cases for clocks that you set on a table; all of it beautiful work, done at a nominal cost, and if put on the market, would sell at quite high prices." "Tell me, Bob," remarked Mr. Strumm as Bob was taking them over to the band hall, "Why does your manual training department delve into so many different fields? I mean, take up this extra work other than with just wood." 0--············------ ·············---··--- ···--· [PAGE 37 J ···-·-····-··· . .. -··-·····-·········-··-·············-·····-.0 0 ----------------------------·--·····---·······-· M 0 NT ICE LL 0 I 9 3 8 ·······················-······················-0 "The only logical answer that I could ever figure out is that Mr. Carter is progressive, always on the lookout for new ideas to make shop work more interesting to the boys. A year or so ago the manual training shop experienced some with inlaid wood. The boys made pictures, all of wood: put designs on table tops, particularly on card tables thar they Physics and Chemistry Laboratory made, and turned out a lot of work that won them a lot of recognition around here. People realize that a project turned out in the Thomas Jefferson shop is just as good as any you could buy at the furniture store." By this time the second period had started and the semor band was in its place in the band hall. "This band and ROTC hall is the newest addition to the buildings at T. ] · Ir was built last summer and occupied last fall. The building is sound proofed and the acoustics are very fine, making it an excellent place for the instrumental department. Mr. Paul C. Dawson is the director of the band and orchestra, and has established a band we are certainly proud of. Our concert band won a superior rating at the district contest, which makes it eligible to go to the national contest at Omaha. You see those rooms at the west side there? They're for keeping the instruments sa fely locked up. Before this building was made one was liable to find instruments almost anywhere in the building . Many's the time I've opened my locker door, only to have my locker partner's instrument case come tumbling into my arms. There are different rooms for the different families of instruments.

MONTICELLO 193 8 ....... ........................................ 0 "Let's go over to the other building as it's almost the third period and we can watch the girls' glee club in action." "Some of the boys in the band have on different uniforms than the others. Why ts that, Bob?" asked Mr. Avers as they walked into the main building. "They were part of our marching band and were in those uniforms. The marching band is a unit of the ROTC and helps in the inspections and in parades. It really has a fine Fourth Period-Monda)' reputation around here, and it also has a superior rating and will attend the nationa l contest. I'm sorry it's not in action today as it is a splendid sight to watch. "Through these doors and we'll go into the auditorium and wait for the girls' glee club to start." "How many does your auditorium seat?" inured Mr. Avers. "Well, not nearly enough, I can assure you," replied Bob. "I believe it seats about seven hundred fifty. There isn't even standing room when we have a full assembly. But I see that the girls are about ready to sing. At present they're practicing for the national contest as they received superior in the district. Mrs. Alice Denton Jones is the director of the glee club and she's the first vocal instructor at T. J. that has ever developed a group to the point to where they could win a superior." "Do you have a boys' glee club?" questioned l'vlr. Strumm. "I'm interested, as I was in the glee club at college." " You bet we have a boys' glee and, although they haven't any superior ratings, tht>v're pretty good. They meet Tuesdays and Thursdays at this period, so that's why we won't get to see them." 0 .... ........ ........... ......................... .......... ... [PAGE 39 1 ............................................................... 0 0 .. .............................................. MONTICELLO 1 9 38 ...... ................................. ......... 0 "Those are certainly good-looking robes that the girls are wearing," remarked Mr. Srrumm. "Those robes belong to the glee club and I believe they earned them by putting on some programs. Ar least they helped pay for them by doing something like that. They're not worn every day. I imagine they're wearing them today to get used to them. Makes them less nervous when they go before the judges. "We may as \vell leave here and visit some of the class rooms. We won't be able to see near all of them, but we can do our best and those we don't see, we can talk about. Here's Room 208; the biology and genera l science room. This period it's used for G eneral SciFifth Period-Mon day ence I and Mr. Edward Jewett is the instructor. This class is a freshman class and preFares the student for the physics and chemistry classes which he meets in his junior and senior years. The science I classes do minor experiments in this room, but this room is really most interesting to look into when the biology class is here. Then animals are dissected, different parts of the anatomy studied. Mr. Fields is instructor for biology. "We can rake a short cut through here and go into Room 207, which is the physics and chemistry laboratory. Mr. 0 . A . Bump is the instructor in physics and chemistry. This third period class is a Physics I class and from the looks of things, they're studying the problem of parallel forces. Mr. Bump is demonstrating to the class just the wav the parallel forces act. Our laboratory is very well equipped for all the various experiments which must be carried on in the advanced science department. Each table in here, as you see, is equipped with a sink, hot and cold water, four gas jets, and provisions for setting up experiments. Mr. Bump often takes his classes on trips to study or observe things that closely relate to subjects they have studied in class. One trip that proved very interesting to the students was to one of the music stores in Omaha to see and hear a Hammond electric organ. By hearing this instrument they could hear all the notes which they had studied about in a chapter on sound." "Do your science students study anything about streamlining? That seems to be one of the subjects we hear so much of lately," said Mr. Avers. 0 ............................................................... [ PAGE 40 1 ... . . . .o L D------··-··-- _ -- ·· -···--- __ _____ M 0 N T I C E LL 0 1 9 3 s -··-······--·----·····················-D "Yes, sir. The physics dasses study about streamlining and a very interesting study it is. Through rhe use of slides in a projector, Mr. Bump demonstrates the principle. By using some sort of apparatus he puts different shaped objects in a stream of water, projects it on a screen, and presto, rhe principle of streamlining is revealed before your eyes. We may Self Reliant Club as well leave this room and go on down the hall and avoid the rush of students as it's almost noon. I'll meet rhe rwo of you at the office right after the noon hour and we'll continue on our trip around the school." MONDAY AFTERNOON "Hello, Bob," said rvlr. Srrumm as rhe three met for their afternoon inspection of the school. "Are we all ready for the afternoon?" "I'm ready when you say the word, sir. I hope you enjoyed your lunch." "We certainly did, Bob," answered l'vlr. Avers. "\"\(! e ate in your cafeteria. They certainly have good food in there." "I'm glad that you liked it. We'll visit the cooking department tomorrow morning. \XT e're lucky this afternoon, for most of the clubs hold their meetings today and we will be able to visit almost all of them. But for next two periods we can visit two of the ROTC companies. The fourth period has already started so let's go out to rhe drill hall and observe the actions of the fourth period company. " Captain Jack Ginn, a junior, is in command of this company. It is made up, almost completely, of rookies, cadets rhar are raking drill for the first semester. Despite the fact D --- [PAGE 41 I ··--·-··-··-·--·---···········-·-·-········-···-···-----------0 0------------------------------------------------ M 0 NT ICE LL 0 1 9 3 8 ---·-···-·-------·----··--- ----- ···--·····--··-· D that this company is composed of first year men, it drills exceedingly well and will take part in the inspection, May 10. Sergeant H. B. Truex is the ROTC instructor and M a jor Mead is the P. M. S. and T. for the Omaha and Council Bluffs high schools. "How many ROTC companies are there, Bob?" questioned Mr. Strumm. Allied Y 011th " Five, sir. Two today, both of them rookie companies, and three tomorrow. There are sixteen officers commanding the Thomas Jefferson Regiment, which has two hundred thirty cadets as the personnel." " I see all these rifles around the east end of the hall here," said Mr. Avers. ' 'About how many are there here?" "There are only two hundred rifles for the regiment of two hundred thirty cadets. Quite a condition to combat when it comes time for inspection. There goes the bell. In ju9t a couple of minutes there'll be another first-year company out here. "Say, Bob, this is certainly a large company," exclaimed rvir. Strumm. "Why are so many of the cadets out of uniform?" asked Mr. Avers. "This is the largest company we have in the corps and it is the other rookie company. There is such a lack of upper classmen in this company that many of the corporals are just taking their second semester of drill. Yet, despite their lack of experience, they have done a nice job with this company: it drills almost as well as the companies composed of upper classmen, Lieutenant Colonel Phil Gurney commands this company of eight squads. In answer to your question, Mr. Avers, about half of these boys are out of uniform be0 -------------------------------------------------···-·----·-···· [PACE 4 2 J ·····----·-·----------·---··--- ···----·-···------D D -- ·· _____ . ·-·-· ·-·--- M 0 N TI CELL 0 I 9 3 S ----------------------------- -------------------0 cause there aren't enough ro go around. It is a mid-year company and by the time they started drill there wasn't a uniform left in the store room. For that reason about half the company is in civilian clothes." "I say, Bob," said Mr. Strumm, "why are the boys putting these benches in little groups?" "You'll see in just a moment, l\1r. Strumm. The cadets are arranged like that, in squads, and then the officers teach the individual squads different subjects, depending on which N u 0111ega Literar y Society company they are in. I think-yes, that's it. This company ts learning the nomenclature, care and cleaning of the rifle." "Does each company have a differenr subject?" questioned Mr. Avers. "Yes, sir, they do. The senior company has mapping, the others have musketry, scouting and patrolling, first aid, extended order, and sanitation and hygiene. Some companies have on e suhject to take care of, others have two or three. " \Xlell this period's over, but I've a treat for you this next period. Our honor club meets during the sixth period today, and I think they'll let us sit in on part of the meeting. If I'm not mista ken its meeting will take all period today, so let's hurry over to the other huilding and get in on the beginning.' "Didn't you say something about this club being an honor club?" asked Mr. Avers as they hurried down to the cafeteria where the meeting was to be held. " Yes, I did," replied Bob. "This organiza tion is called the Self-Reliant Club and its sponsor is Mr. Daron Warren. T o get in the club, one has to have the reputation among the 0 -·----- -- - r r:\ GE -n 1 ----·-------- ___ -------------------------------- ·--- -------D D--·······--·-········--------------------------- M 0 TICE LL 0 l 9 3 8 ·······················-···-··················D students and faculty that he or she is to be trusted, and can be counted on to do the right thing in an emergency. One's conduct must be above the average and once someone who is in the club does something that is unbecoming to their conduct, he or she is dropped from the club. To get in the club is not an easy job. First one must fill out an application Masque and Ba!lble on which he gives a full account of the time he has spent in various occupations during one week. Then he must be voted on by his home room and passed by it. After passing the home room the application goes to the faculty and if it passes them it goes to th e Fon11n. The Forum is the self-governing body at T. J. and is composed entirely of students. They vote on the applicant and if they wish they may have him tell them why he thinks he should be allowed to join the Self-Reliant Club. If he passes the Forum, the Self-Reli ant Club itself votes on him. "So you see, to belong to this group, one must be rated pretty high among the students at T . J. Besides having the honor of belonging to this group, one is allowed many !Jrivileges. For instance, after being absent, a Self-Reliant member need not take an admit with him to his classes from the office. Self-Reliant students rarely abuse this privilege, howeve r. Bob Evans, senior, is the president of the club; vice-president is Myrtle Cooney, junior; secretary is Roylyn Flaxbeard, senior; and the treasurer is Rose Clark, senior. The club is popula r and students strive to join it. It's almost time for the regular club meetings to start, but before we make the rounds, let's atte nd a short mee ting of a group that belongs to the Allied Youth ." "The Allied Youth," mused Mr. Strumm. "It seems to me that I've heard that name before." D --······-·················· ----·-------·-------· ···· .........

It's a national organization. Right in here. This club is the newest one in the school and it was started by Mr. Myers this spring. Its purpose is this. 'It stands for liberation, through education, of alcoholic beverages.' The officers are Yale Gotsdiner, sophomore, president; Betty Graul, sophomore, vice-president; Jean Waugh, sophomore, sec retary; and Kenneth Sales, sophomore, treasurer. As the club is new, it hasn't had Sigma T a11 Literary Society any regular programs as ye t, but we feel sure that the time is not far off when it will be one of the outstanding clubs of the school. There are about fifty in the club, which is a larger membership than some of the older clubs in the school. The other clubs must be started by now, so let's spend a short time with those we want to visit. " H ere's where the Nu Omegas meet. The Nu Omega is a girls' literary society. It is on e of the most active clubs in the school and has probably contributed more to the school than any other one club. That seems only natural, though, when you consider their purpose which is 'To develop literary ability and character and to render service to the community.' Miss rviabel Gunderson and Mrs. Clara Strickland, sponsors of the society, keep the club living up to its purpose and make the club an asset to the school. It's quite popular among the girls and it has an enrollment of fifty-two. President of the society is Lorraine Rawling, senior; vice-president, Jean Schluter, junior; secretary, rviyrrle Cooney, junior; and treasurer, H elen Ray Kull, junior. Under such able managership the club has accomplished much this semester. They have put on several programs within their own group, and then they have put on a lot of all-school dances which have been very pooular wirh the students. N ot only ha ve they been popular, but they have swe lled the Nu [ Pi\ GE -Vi I -- -·-- -------·----------·------------·-------··--···---- ---D C.--··········-··· .............. ...............

The Nu Omegas put on a Mother's D ay program which, so I hear, is very nice to attend. «Of course, this literary society, like others, is very secret, and the ideals, bylaws, a nd such of the club are kept in strictest confidence among the members. Before the members arc sworn in this club, they are put through an mmation, part of which a t least IS see n hy the Delphian entire student body. When pledges are initiated, they are painted up as Indian s or something and then wear that paint a ll day at school. They are teased about it by everyone in the school, and I imagine they are mighty g lad to get it off at nig ht." "Bob," whispered Mr. Strumm, " I believe you're right about this club having secre t business. The way that large woman is glaring at us, I think it would be a good idea to leave and go visit some other club." " I think that's a good suggestion," said Bob. "Let's slip out. "That large lady you spoke of," remarked Bob, as they headed towa rds the 111.eeting place of the Masque and Bauble, "is Mrs. Strickland. She's one of the best-liked teachers a t T . ]., because of her sou thern geniality. Her growl is far worse than he r bite; in fact she rarely growls but what she doesn't start smiling before she is through. "Let's go in and watch the Masque and Bauble in action. This club IS the drama tics organization and is under the sponso rship of Miss D oris A. Hatch. Roger Dickeson , senior, is the president; Roylyn Flaxbeard, senior, vice-president; Pauline Prasse, se111o r, secre tary; 0 ............................................................. .

This club is another one of the more active ones. It puts on several one-act plays dttring each school year, and has different programs for the club itself. For instance , not long ago rhe members talked through the school loud speaking system G. A .. A. "Do you have a loud speaking system here at T . ].?" asked M r. Avers. "Not the kind tha t you're thinking of, i\ilr. Avers. It isn't one of these systems with which the principal can ta lk to rhe student body from his office. Ir's just a microphone hooked up to the loud speaker of the moving picture machine. Yer it works splendidly and portrays voices with rema rkable clarity. It gives the student the experience of talking over a microphone, while his classmates check and criticize him. "The club, however, spends its time in studying rhe different problems that confront the hi gh school student when a production is put on at the school. Lighting rhe stage, the use of spotlights, how scenery should be used for best effect, the art of applying make-up, and points in acting on rhe stage . M ore than the things taught about problems backstage, the club teaches its members to be able to watch plays with understanding and to be pa rt of a good audience. Time is going fast so we'd better hurry if we want to visit some more of the clubs. "This next club we're about to visit is another girls' litera ry society. Ir's ca lled the Sigma T au and its purpose is 'T o proma te loyalty, service, hea lthful recreation, and to develop pe rsona lity.' The sponso rs are M iss M. B.

D cers are Jean Brownell, senior, president; Jean Nugent, senior, vice-president; Lorraine Parrish, sophomore, secretary; and Betty Graul, sophomore, treasurer." "Bob, why does T. J. have all these different clubs?" asked Mr. Strumm. "For the students' enjoyment," replied Bob. " I suppose that's as good a reason as any. The students that are in clubs get a lot out of them. Take the Sigma Tau here: part of Biology Club its purpose is to promote healthful recreation and to develop personality. Through the various programs that the club plans throughou t the year, these two virtues are stressed. The student in the club naturally acquires these and when she leaves the school, she car· ries them with her. Consequently she will always know how to partake in healthful recreation: she will have developed a personality in the club which would have been missed entirely if it had been allowed to develop in the classroom alone. As these clubs are comparatively small groups, more time can be spent on the individual. When a girl leaves one of these societies, she has a very good background which she can use in her later life. "The next club we visit," said Bob as the three left the Sigma Tau, "is the Delphian Lit· erary Society, another girls' organization. The motto of the society is 'Let us by our deeds be known,' and believe me, they are known by their deeds, at least around school. Mrs. Alice Jones and Miss Mabel Killinger are the sponsors of the Delphians. President of the club is Rose Clark, senior; the vice-president is Dorothy Hough, senior; secretary is Jane Lewis, junior; the treasurer is Pat Prentice, junior. The purpose of the club is 'To study literary work and gain culture by mixing work wi.th play, etc.' 0 ..... ............................................ .

In the spring they give a tea fo r th e mothers and in the ' 'inter they give a banquet fo r the seniors of the club and th eir moth ers. " "Why a re there so many girls' cl ubs in the school, and so few with boys in them," questioned M r. Ave rs as the group headed towa rds the gym where the G AA was in progress. Period T hree-SeJ11i11 g "There are one or two boys' clu bs in the school, bur their membership is rather low. I lay th e reason for the lack of boys in clu bs to the fac t that so many of them either work a fter school, or pa rtake in sports. A great pe rcentage of the boys in school go out for th e different sports, especia lly in the spring. As you know, when a boy is ou t for athletics, he must d evote his outside time to building himself up physically, and he can't very well do tha t if he spends his time at clu b meetings, even though the meetings are two weeks apart, as there may be an important game or track mee t which comes during the same week as the clu b meeting. "Let's go in the gym and wa tch pa rt of the G AA's mee ting. G AA stands for G irls' Athletic Associa tion, and to be a member of the group a girl must have ea rned so many points in her physica l educa tion classes, by participating in different events, playing on differen t tf:' ams, and being a good athlete in girls' sports. The purpose of the club is 'T o create interest in g irls' at hletics.' Miss H annah N yholm, physical training instructor, is the sponsor of the club. J ean Rayburn, senior, is president ; Erma D ray, senior, is vice-president; Bf:'ttie M a rtin, junior, is secretary; and D aisy Lalich, junior, is the treasure r. "The organiza tion sponso rs severa l prog rams during the year, outstanding of which are th e gym nig ht p rogram, and the M ay fe te. The gym night program is fo r the girls of the school and their mothers and friends. The May fete is the highlight of the season.

The show draws spectators from all over the city, making a very large crowd, and people look forward to it every year. The GAA holds a high respect in the eves of the school and girls deem it a great honor when they join the group. The GAA girls are Cooking Class leaders in their gym classes and often take charge of games when Miss N yholm must spend her time elsewhere. "Time is growing late, and we have one more club to visit. This is a club for boys, Mr. Avers; it's the Biology Club. Mr. Stephen Fields is sponsor of the Biology Club and under h is sponsorship the club has won wide acclaim in the town. They have had rheir picture in the Nonpareil several times to show the work that they are doing. Their particular pride is in stuffing animals and birds. They have done some wonderful work along this line, making the an imals they have stuffed look ve ry life like indeed. The officers of the cl ub are, president, David Burrows, iunior; vice-president, Jack McCormick, scphomore; secretary-treasurer, Paul f\/lcKiernan, junior. "Wel l, gentlemen," said Bob as he was taking the men back to the office, "our trip fo1· coday is ended, but we'll continue it tomorrow." "You've shown us a very enjoyable day, Bob. We'll be looking forward to the trip tomorrow," exclaimed f\/lr. Strumm. "'You bet we will, Bob. And-say-just a minute.

Avers told Bob. "That will be fin e," replied Bob. With that, he left the two men at the office wondering wh at he would do to entertain the men on the foll owing day. TUESDAY, THIRD PERIOD Tuesday was as fin e a day as one could hope fo r; it wasn't too hot nor too cold ; just rig ht fo r visiting school rooms as the air was fresh and invigorating. W hen Bob greeted Stu dy Hall-Room VJ B !Vlr. A vers and !Vl r. Strumm he had his itinerary for the day made out. "We've four classes to visit this period, so if we wa nt to spend the prope r amount of time in each of them we had better ge t started right now. "The first cl ass on our list th is morning is the sewing class. Miss M abel Gunderson is the instructor fo r th e sewing classes and under her supervision the classes have made many bea utiful ga rments. Every yea r the sewing classes put on a style show before the P .-T. A. a nd display the clothes they have made during the school year. This stvle show proves a hit eve ry yea r a nd d raws a large crowd ro the aud itorium." " \V hat a re some of the diffe rent garments that the girls make?" asked !Vlr. Avers.

Now we'll go around the corner here and visit rhe cooking class. Nliss Belle Soukup is instructor for the cooking classes. She not only teaches her classes how to cook good food, but she teaches them how to set a table correctly, how to carve meats, and the carLibrary rect table manners in eating food. In the chef classes, which are made up of boys, she teaches the boys how to serve a dinner. The classes are always experimenting with new foods, and working up new ideas on the substantials we have every day. Her pupils have to make up balanced menus and when a student graduates from one of Miss Soukup's classes, he or she knows all there is to learn about cooking, they only lack a lot of experience." "Do the cooking classes prepare the food that the cafeteria serves?" questioned Mr. Strumm. " I don't believe they prepare all the food that is served m the cafeteria, but I know they help prepare a lot of it. "There are certainly a lot of appetizmg odors that come from the cooking class rooms," said Bob as he was taking the two visitors down to 102, "and they make a guy plenty hung ry. The cookies, cakes, and good stuff one smells would really hit the spot ::tbout the end of the third period. 0 -------- ---- ---- [PAC E 52 1 -- -----------·---·-·--------- ----- ·------0 [].. .. ...... ..... .. .... ... ... .................

Our library is we ll equipped with reference books for all the subjects in school as English , both literature and speaking; chemistry; Larin; mathematics; jou rnalism; history, European and American ; govenunent; woodwork; printing; dramatics; and all the others. There are a lot of books here that are for pure enjoyment in fiction, non-fiction, biography, etc. The library takes a lot of magazines, both educationa l and for amusement; some that are taken are Harpers, Readers Digest, Literary Digest, Scientific American; and the loca l papers, the Nonpareil, the \'\! orld-Herald, D es Moines Register, and the Sunday New Yark Times. So you see that our library is very we ll stocked for a high school library." "What are all these statues and plaques around the school for?" asked Mr. Avers. "I don't know their actual significance, but they add a lot to the attractiveness of the interior of the school. If you notice, they all represent the early days of American history: some of them portray life of soldiers in the Revolutionary War, others are of pioneer life, and there a re several small statues of the Indians. There are other ones around school, 0 [PAG E 5~] ............................................................... 0 D------ -- -- --·---··-··-··------------------------ M 0 N T I CE LL 0 I 9 3 8 ------- -- D too, but they seem to play no important part in the theme of the others.

Company drill is about the hardest drill there is to our inspection: two platoons participate in Sixth Period-Tuesday it and the commands are given by the company commander, the platoon commanders carrying our his orders." "How a re rhe officers chosen, Bob? " asked Mr. Strumm. "All officers, both non-commissioned and commissioned, must take tests before thev are promoted. T o be a corporal, a cadet must take the corporal's test; corporals, to be promoted , are compelled to take the sergeant's test; to get a commission, the sergeant must take the test for commission. Of couse the applicant must get a passing grade in the test, else he is not even considered. Besides the written examination the applicant must take a pracitcal test by drilling a squad or platoon, depending on the test he is taking . O f course an officer must keep himself neat, and must be able to give orders with authority. If he can't do this, he will surely be a failure. I want to take you to one more group before our tour is ove r and as school is almost over we'll just have time to get to the meeting before it starts. "This is another club; the Lettermen's.

S. 0. tried hard for victory over the opponents but had little success. The T. ]. Yellow jackers were far superior to the Bobcats. Power and strength were exhibited b>' rhe T. J. linr. T.

They received their first setback of rhe season after a hard fought game. T. ]., 6 Hamburg. 0 At the Hamburg field T. J. was in poor spirit, and as a result they didn't live up ro the expectations of the coach and followers. But they still succeeded in coming home wirh another victory. T. ]., 7 Benson, 18 The Benson game was rhe second and last defeat of the "37" gridiron season. T. J. showed the ability as a good football ream but were incapable of stopping Brown as he wormed his way through T. ].'s line for 3 touchdowns. T. ]., 15 Abraham Lincoln, 12 T.

J ., 6 - Abraham Lincoln, 6 The last game of the season was probably the most thrilling. In this game it was "fight to the last minute." And the teams were as evenly matched as rhe score.

Si x ty - eig ht This season was a profitable one for the Yellowjackets as far as pa st history was conerned. The Jeffs got off on the wrong foot the first gcame, losing to Benson 38-37. Th ; following week, howeve r, they troun:ed Logan 59-21. They stayed in the groove and managed a poor win ove r Sioux City Trinity 31 -25. lt was a wi ld game all the way, with the Jeffs looking their poorest. After that wild game was out of th e ir system they came to life and defeated Malvern 63-25. They got off to a terrific start and kept a hot pace. The reserves played most of th e gam2. Clawson was high scorer. The ir next game wasn't an easy victory. They came from behind to down St. Franc is. Again Clawson was h igh scorer with 11 . They felt the loss of W. J. Rollison in the next ga me which th ey lost 40-35. It was a hard-fought ga me with neith e r team sure of the outcome till the la st few seconds. The Abe Lynx handed th e Jeffs their third loss and their second straight. In their rivalry both teams played their best games. A. L. managed to overpower the Jeffs and win handil y 47-39. T . J. then trave led across the river and took a trimming from Creighton Prep, absorbing their worst defeat of the season, by the score of 55-27 . Kinart, playi ng one of his best rebound games, just couldn't compete with Heyden and Benson, both 6 feet 5 . Dimunitive Pete La rsen san k four buckets with a miunte to go but the seconds lost 36-28. Th e Jeffs hit the win column again by stoppin g a fighting crew from Gl enwood 4 7 -33. Corb in was h igh point man wi th 12. Next, the Je ffs chalked up a victo ry by the small sco re of 32-29, ove r North Hi gh . They then avenged an early defeat by stopping Benson 38-35. It was a crowd thriller all the way. Del Corbin was good for 17 points. In their next game th e Jeffs nudged out Harlan 39-34. Kinart, shelved because of an injury, was sore ly missed . T . J., putting on one of the ir greatest shows, rece ived a loss from A. L. by th e sma ll score of 32-31 . The following week they put on a n even better battle against Boystown and came close to making a n upset victory. At th e e nd of the third quarter the Je ffs led by 1 O points, but Boystown showed why they were a great ball club by overcoming tha t lead a nd w inning 47 - 46. Afte r losing two close games the Jeffs couldn't assemble a ny kind of a n attack against Mo. Va lley and lost a poorly pl ayed game . They the n managed to defeat a vastly improved Central club. The Jeffs e nded the regu la r sea son with a 9 wi n- 7 loss record. They opened their district p lay by li cki ng a jynx and defeated A. L. 47-42. This vitory in d istrict was the first tim ~ si nce 1 944 that the Jeffs have beEn ab le to beat A. L. They traveled to Carroll for sub -sta te play, w here they took on Boone a nd lost, That ended thei r basketball for this season but next yea r w ith four of the first five ba:k th 2y ou ght to go places.

Coach Orville Orr turned out his usual competent team, and his fine coaching was evident to the many wrestling fans as they watched his boys wi n eight out of the twelve school matches, ta ke second place in Inter-City, w in the District title, and place seventh at Sta te . The first vitim of the year was Tech, by a score of 32-14. Pep Conney, 8 5 pound n ewcomer, d rew the top match of the evening. South lost the first seven matches in a row, to lose to Tee Jay, 26- 14. With the third meet came Tee Jay's first defeat, at the hands of Central. The final score was 22-20. Walte r Furle r a nd Jim Aten were outstanding, a long with dependable Don Ryan. North High absorbed a de feat in the next meet, 26-12. This match suppli ed a lot of excitEment, with John Haiz lip defeating a Nebraska State Champion. The next opponent was Eagle Grove, Tee Jay winning by 19 -1 6. A. L. came next, and again the Tee Jay boys were up to pa r, ending on top o f a 26- 20 score . Fort Dodge handed Tee Jay the ir second defeat of the season, 20- 12. Ed Lane's wrestling ability was outstanding in th;s meet. In a second meeting with ·i ech, Tee Jay aga in won, 30-12. Bob Nusser, freshman newcomer, wrestled South's state champion wi th a style that made him a favo rite w ith the fans. The fi nal score was in Tee Jay's f<l'10 r , 24- 12. Central agai n defeated Tee Jay, 20-17. This meet was anexciting one, and, as a result, Tee Jay was driven from the race for the Inte r-City title. The last match of the season regularly scheduled was w ith North Hi gh. Tee Jay won, 28-14. The n the Tee Jay toys went to the District meet at Des Moi nes, and came home with first place. At State, Don Ryan agai n proved his ability as he became a State Champ:on for the second yea r in a row. The team ended up in seventh place. Although some of the boys graduated, the team, next yea r, should be one of the top ones Tee Jay has ever had, w ith some materia l returni ng to the mats. FIRST ROW: John Haslip, Henry Carmichael, Bob Christensen, Roger Redman, Jim Aten, Norman T aylor, Beauford Haslip. SECOND ROW: Dick D amon, Ed Lane, Leon ard Schreiber, Don Ryan, Bob Nusser, Leland Monson, Ed Smith, O r ville Orr. FIRST ROW : Dale Cook, Lewis Webster, D ick Millard.

B ob Hatc h er , Ri chard Steffan, Peter Canavan, Earl Jensen. Don Rya n's reco rd spea ks for itse lf as to the type of wrestler h e was. In 1947 he was undefea ted in cual meets, and topped it off by winn :ng the District championsh 'p plus the state champicmh :p that year. During th e pa st season, 1948, he was not only undefrated but he won l l falls out of l 3 matches. Many of the l::oys Don wrestled this year outweighed him from l O to 35 lbs. Coa:h Orr always put him a;ainst th e cleverest opponent of the team T . J. wrestled. Don, we ighing only 152 ll::s., cculd fulfill the l 55 pound class and the 165 lb. class as well as doing a splendid job in the heavyweight di vision. Coach Orr call ed him his utility man, because he was able to use him in three differe nt we:ghts. Don won th e State Championship again in 1948 , only he moved up on e weight to th e l 55 lb. c lass in doing it. He came back the next week and copped the 160 lb. class in th e Midwest A.A.U. wrestling tournament. Then the following week he entered th 2 district Olympic tournament at Nebraska Unive rsity and won second place which qualified him for the Olympics at Am2s, Iowa. Winn ing the Midwest A.A.U. at Cmaha qualified him for the National A.A.U at Hempstead, New York. The city council of Council Bluffs, with aid by the Nonpareil and its sports reporter, George Lindsey , raised over $500 for the Don Ryan appreciation fund a nd se nt not only Don but his coach Orville Orr to this tournament in New York. This trip was th 2 highlight of Don's high schoo l wrestling career. Although he didn't pl ace in the tournament, he had a pl easa nt one week stay in New York City, see ing all th e famous places, a big league ball game, and other sights. Th e peop le of Council Bluffs certainly showed th e ir appreciation of Don by th e ir fin e response. Don Rya n will long be remembered as one of the fin est a thl e tes T . J. ha s eve r had, also one of the finest academic stude nts of the school. We know Don will continue to rece ive grea t e r awa rds as he goes on to college and the future . Best of luck in your further acheivements, Don . R.O:J.C. Seventy-four ------, SERGEANT TODD CAPTAIN SPAULD ING OFFICERS Cadet Colonel Donovan L. Vol pp . . .... ...... . . ..

The change of attitude was so drastic decorations were put up one day and torn down the next. that even the students couldn't believe it. But Homecoming 1983 changed that tradition . "After we decided to accept the idea, we learned that it wasn't all that bad. We just wanted to make the best of it, " said Trip Allen '83. The attitudes of athletes were also positive.

People actually wore sheets and sandals to school! So many people participated that you looked out of place if you weren't in a costume!" said Ronda Bargenquast '84. Band director Jim Misner was also determined to make this year a rare one. After a locally publicized poor teacher evaluation last spring, he returned to school determined to fight for his job by making his band the best ever. "After he told us he was fighting for us, we wanted to prove to him that we were worth the fight," said Valarie Witham '83. On Oct. 9, at the State Marching Band Contest, Misner led his Lynx to a one-plus rating, which placed them first in the city and fourth in the state. Journalists also overwhelmed us when they distributed their first newspaper. After a week of workshops in Iowa City, staffers spent hours transforming their 8 by 11 inch paper into an 11 by 17 inch tabloid. " I was really surprised! It looked so professional that I took it home to my parents," said Paul Rounds '83. Vocal music students surprised us too! Twenty of them practiced two hours daily for six weeks to perfect their voices for All-State Chorus auditions. "I remember Todd Christians getting in my car on a Friday night to cruise with me. He brought a tape of the All-State music with him, put it in my tape deck, and sali\g all night long! That's how dedicated they all were!" said Larry Punteney '83. Their serious attitudes paid off when 14 were chosen for the All-State Festival, the most in AL history. It was just October, and we had already accomplished feats that three months earlier not one of us would have dreamed possible. Imagine that! FANS HAVE INTERESTING WAYS of showing spirit!

A group of students started singing, and soon 200 more joined in to wish happy birthday to the same principal they had rebelled against the year before. "I was stunned when everyone sang so enthusiastically to Mr. Gaffney. They even clapped after they were through singing!" said Bryan McGee '83. Similar feelings of astonishment surfaced when 217 students arrived at the Christmas Dance and saw 720 blue and silver balloons fill the air around an enormous tree. "After 15 of us spent eight hours decorating, it was worth it to see everyone so dazzled by the balloons," said Gayle Swartz '83, Foreign Student Club president. But that wasn't the only winter event! Because of surprisingly warm weather in January, students created their own fun outside. "It was so warm that I didn't even have to wear my jacket to go sledding!" said Shelley Kenkel '83.

"We knew we'd get a gag gift, but I never dreamed we'd get white boxer shorts with red hearts on them! We put them on .and wore them all night!" Morrison said. Even Roadshow took students by surprise! Contrary to tradition, the production was held at the beginning of the school year. "Everyone had to rush to get their acts together because no one was expecting it so soon, but we still had a great time!" said Tom Wyatt '84. But perhaps the most surprising event was the Mr. Lincoln Pageant! Organized in just three weeks to raise money for the Senior Class, the pageant had 15 boys prancing and posing in everything from diap.ers and junglewear to girls' bathing suits. Bryan Whitfield '83, who was crowned as Mr. Lincoln, also received a shock. "When they said my name, I thought I was the fourth runner-up!" he said.

" It started out hopeful because our record was so good, but we knew we would have a tough time beating them since they were rated second in Nebraska," said Joe Matthews '83. The AL defense held its own the first half, giving up only seven points. "The defense turned up a credible performance," stated the Council Bluffs Nonpareil. " The players· performed lik e Metro Conference title contenders for two and a half quarters. " But as the game progressed, the Lynx fell 3 1-0. The main event of the night was the band performance and coronation. After Susie Oakes '83, was chosen queen, friends rushed to congratulate her and her escort, Harry Poulous '83. " I really didn 't know what to do after my name was called! I was so ne rv ous; I just stood there!" Oakes said. Although spirits were dampened momentarily by the loss to Northwest, students still looked forward to the fi~al Homecoming event, the dance . " Everyone loved the music! We even started doing the bunny hop!" said Vicki Witham '83. A hired disc jockey played a mix of slow and fast songs. " People were out to have a great time because so many people went stag.

I wouldn't ever wear anything that wild, " said Kerri Weaver '83. Although the majority of those polled said they disliked mini skirts, a few girls wore them to school without a second thought.

Spacing off, you looked at the clock. Only five more minutes and school would be out! A poll of 200 students showed that when the 3:05 bell rang, approximately 51 of them went home for an evening of relaxation, 60 stayed at school past dark to participate in activities such as sports, speech, or publications, and 89 raced to jobs. " I enjoy going home and relaxing with a good book, without any interruptions from teachers or bells," said Theresa Wilson '84. Other forms of relaxing ranged from watching TV to shopping or catching a movie. " Sometimes I'll go to a movie on Tuesday evenings because it's cheaper and it's a nice break in the middle of the week," said Brian Corzine '84. While some considered a movie a nice break, others said sports helped them unwind. " Basketball helps me clear my mind of all my classroom assignments, and that helps me relax," said Paul McConnell '83.

" Almost every student found himself searching for ways to save his allowance. Methods varied from storing change in piggy banks and stashing bucks in hiding _ places to pinching pennies at the store with money-saving coupons. Dan Fauble '85 , found saving easy when money was kept out of sight. " If I hide it, I don 't see it," he said, " And if I don 't see it, I won't spend it. " Another method required saving change left over from lunch money . Almost every day , Shelly Gilmore '83 , bought lunch with a dollar bill. The left over quarters were saved for special occasions or just for extra spending money. Sometimes, saving meant clipping coupons for bargain deals. Karan Kowal '85, found herself regularly cutting up newspapers in search of coupons that would save her 25 cents to $ 1.50 on each bargain. She later used this money to buy little extras she couldn't normally afford. Most students found saving money a su'ccessf: l way to guarantee extra bucks for times when their weekly allowance wouldn't stretch past Friday night!

The contestants appeared in suit, gym shorts, toga, and talent competitions for an audience of 300 and four judges. All contestants found special ways to ham it up.

I have to be crazy and clown around because it's my only night of glory," Hansen said. After the four competitions, the 16 contestants were narrowed down to five finalists, each of whom was asked ·a question. Larry Punteney '83, was asked why he thought he should be Mr. Lincoln. Punteney replied, "Because none of the judges like me. In fact they hate me. I have been thrown out of Mrs. Smoley's class, Mrs. Gepner sits me in a corner, Mrs. Hutchison writes referrals on me for laughing, and Mrs. Grandick, oh Mrs. Grandick!" Punteney then asked the judges who hated him to stand. Every judge stood and cheered while the audience applauded. , The fun-filled evening brought a profit of $533 to the Senior Class, which sponsored the pageant.

" Yet, everything seemed to fall together when the curtain opened April 28. " I couldn 't believe how well everything went," said Lori Kinney '83. "It seemed that everyone , from stars to crew members, wanted this production to be the best. " Due to several other local productions, audiences were small, totaling just 500 for three nightly performances, compared to la_st year's 700 for only two . Yet, on the night of the final performance, the curtain closed to a standing ovation . As actors hugged one anothe r and tears streamed down their faces, each one realized that what he had lived for during the last three weeks was over. " It was the highlight of my senior year," said Kurt Hansen '83. ' 'I'll never forget it!" Ironically, lyrics in The Pajama Game say, "It's a losing race when you 're racing with the clock."

Guys decked out in white from head to toe carried purses, flowers, and umbrellas in a gallant effort to help their dates weather the snow and rain. Although the cold drizzle made curls droop and stole part of the night's elegance, spirits would not be dampened as students proceeded to the U.N.O. Ballroom. " The weather was terrible! But once we got inside, we all put on our 'Devo' glasses and Hawai· ian leis and got crazy! " said Sondra Schumacher '83. Students agreed it was easy to let loose and get crazy with the Rumbles playing. " Everyone seemed to have a great time," said Michelle Laird '83. "There was so much white on the dance floor that it looked like one big wedding! " Students were impressed by the huge dance floor and the separate room for picture taking at the U.N.O. Ballroom, where the rental cost was only $350, as opposed to Carter Lake Warehouse 's cost of $1200. Hoop skirts swished under many of the flowing gowns, lending an aura of old fashioned elegance, but as the night wore on, girls learned why the fashion went out of style years ago. "Fast dancing was just fine, but every time we started to dance slow, something always came between us, namely my hoop!" said Julie Brazelton '83. Despite the hassles, students danced almost continuously, stopping only for the coronation.

After suffering through sweltering heat, last-minute instructions, and long ceremony, graduates endure sad good-byes G raduation - I figured it would be a breeze , something to " get through" quickly before the big senior bash. Boy, was I wrong! I started out unable to get my cap on flat enough to satisfy Mrs. Penny Hutchison , P .E. instructor, who was on a flat-hat rampage . If you had the misfortune to be female , you might have ended up with bobby pins embedded in your skull, so intent was Hutch on yanking your cap down flat. And because it was sweltering in the small gym, those of us who brought a Kleenex (just in case we got sentimental) found we had to use it to mop up puddles of perspiration forming on our necks and faces. Once all 340 of us were quiet, photographer Bob Pyles started expla ining the picture-taking process to us. He said, "Shake hands, smile, pause, don't get caught in the cross-flash." The n Don Scheibeler, class sponsor, reminded us, "Start with the left foot and look up , and don 't walk too slowly, and walk shoulder to shoulder, and guys, wait for the girls at the turns. Oh, and girls, hold your rose in your right hand and leave it on your chair when you get your diploma because you can 't shake hands, grab your diploma, smile , pause, and hold your rose at the same time. Got it? Okay! Let's go graduate! " Have I got it? Sheez! I got lost somewhere between cross-flash and the turns. I felt like I was in the twilight zone! Finally seated in the big gym, I let my mind drift as guest speaker John Clisbe talked about the four parts of the Musical Chord of Excellence (which , by the way, spelled ALHS). I remembered my first days as a soph when my knees shook so badly people thought I was epileptic and I lived in mortal fear of being on the swirlee list or being caught in the student lounge by a senior. When diploma time came, I figured I'd just watch everyone in "I WAS ABOUT READY TO cry anyway when I saw Alan . I asked him for a hug and then we both broke down.

Then the moment we 'd all been waiting for arrived. Our class president , Michelle Maaske , led us in turning our tassles. As I reached for mine, I discovered my hand was shaking and there were tears in my eyes. " It's all over," I thought. " This is it, and all !his confusion and irritability I fe el are because I'm so scared. " In the hallway after the recessional, I peeled off my heat-holding robe. Struggling to keep my tears in check, I spotted my favorite teacher, coach, and friend by the stage doors. He reached out to shake my hand. "Congratulations, " he said. Then my dam burst and a flood of tears streamed down my face as I reached to hug him. By the time I got to the cafe , I had the water works under control, though.

If that wasn't enough to ruin my make-up, I had to see the one friend in my life who knew me inside out. " Hey, congrats," she said from across the table. "Same to you," I said and held out my hand. " I should hope I get more than a handshake," she said. So there we were, hugging over the table and crying our eyes out. When I untangled myself, through my tear-blurred vision, I saw my classmates hugging and kissing and crying. I thought to myself how much I would miss them and this building I had referred to as " prison" for so long . We had been through the sam pains and fears and excitement together, and now we were saying so long. Good-bye friends. See you in fi ve years.

"The first cake we made by electrolysis was so good we made three more! When the last cake didn't rise in the carton, we used the batter to make chocolate pancakes on the hot plate!

Another unique learning experience lasted five days, when American Government instructor Roger Kuhl's classes, acting as the Senate and House of Representatives, performed duties of the legislative branch of government. "Both classes got the chance to stand up and debate our bill, which pertained to the enforcement of the death penalty. We really had fun!" said Chris Hobbs '83.

"The thing that shocked me was the shopping list I made for that period. I wouldn't have learned as much if I had just read about it," said Carrie Gray '85. German classes also got an interesting assignment. Each student wrote to a German pen pal and asked for specific information on the economic workings of the pen pal's city. Then, each student gave an oral report. "The differences in each city were amazing, but there was one catch! We gave our speeches in German, so we had to listen closely!" said Diana Thomas '83. Concert Choir students were also asked to perform tricky tasks! One afternoon, the singers were told to sing "aluminum linoleum" repeatedly on middle C. "The exercise was aimed at teaching us to pronounciate correctly when we sing. Everyone got so tongue tied that we all ended up laughing!" said Missy Campbell '83. Whether tasting the results of a chemistry experiment or singing about linoleum, students never imagined they could have so much fun learning! "SPECIAL ED.

As she waited, the frustrated student hoped that this time she would understand her math teacher's explanation. With the help of instructor Connie Byrnes, White walked out of the room 25 minutes later with a look of triumph on her face . For the first time all semester, she actually understood her Math Analysis assignment.

First, as students realized that special skills would be needed to survive in a highly technological world , enrollment soared in math and science. In Computer Math , for example, enrollment more than doubled from last year. Several juniors were even asked to drop the class until the next year so that seniors could be given first priority . Secondly, the school board forced students to experience more difficult classes that they had formerly tried to avoid. Under requirements passed in the spring of '82, incoming sophomores were required to take two additional semesters of English and math, and one additional semester of science and American Government. New sophs were also forced to select and fully complete one program of study before graduation. In a poll of 100 students, 52 said that math classes, especially trig and Compute r Math, were the most frustrating for them. "In trig, we learn something new everyday, and when a class moves that fast , it's almost impossible to grasp all the concepts and remember them," said Hans Larsen '84. These difficult classes, however, also brought about strong feelings of accomplishment when projects were finally completed . "Some computer projects got me so frustrated because the smallest mistake could cause a whole program to mess up ," said Susan Gaffney '83.

With math classes ranking at the top of the list as most frustrating, students really appreciated understanding teachers. "In calculus, Mr. Miller works out all of the problems from the day before on the chalk board, and he gives us a certain number of points for trying a problem, " said Mary Jo Rogic '83. " This way we aren't punished for not understanding, and that keeps us interested in learning more." Keeping students interested in a demanding course was also a challenge that American Government teachers faced. Although the course had been offered only two years, it had already acquired a reputation as a difficult class in which 33 chapters were covered at the rate of two a week. To alleviate the monotony of reading, studying , and testing, instructor Marsha Grandick assigned each of her students to inte rview a local government official a nd then give oral reports on the individual's qualifications and duties. " When Mrs. Grandick first gave us the assignment, I was afraid to call the person I was assigned to, the city clerk," said Julie Bostwick '84 . " But when I talked to her, I really learned a lot about her job and what was going on in the city." Another new requirement, General Science, also proved to be difficult for students. Providing an introduction to several types of sciences, areas of study ranged from the metric system to the environment. " I took General Science to avoid a full year of science," said Shawn McKern '85. " Although at times I've gotten frustrated when we've had to memorize the parts of the mi· croscope and take tests all the time, I know I've learned more about science than I ever thought I would." Although teachers anticipated motiva tion problems when seven English electives were cut last spring, many students said they actually preferred a required English class to an elective. "I like English 5-6 because it will be helpful for college entrance exams," said Carolyn Andersen '84. " It's also nice to !_earn a combination of composition, grammar, and literature." One frustrating but rewarding task encountered in English 5-6 was that of writing a research paper. " When I was working on my research paper, I had a really hard tim(! taking the information I had gathered from books and putting it into my own words," said J oni Flynn '84. " I was so glad when it was finally done and I didn't have to stay up until 1 a.m. every night any more." Although students were bound to experience days of total frustration, each felt satisfaction when a project was accomplished. Most agreed that these shining moments of glory outweighed times of exasperation.

Alternate day physical education tougher than expected F or most students, the dreaded change from eight to seven periods had only one advantage - they no longer had to change into gym clothes five days a week or experience the daily humiliation of swinging at balls which always whizzed by them. Students were ecstatic to think that the sweat and energy they had poured into physical education five days a week would have to be expended just two or three times a week under the new alternate day physical education requirements. But on the first day, teachers dropped the bomb. Physical fitness tests would be taken twice a year, skills tests would be required for every unit, and getting out of class for field trips or other activities would be almost an impossible mission. But students looked on these requirements cheerily. They could put up with anything if it happened only every othe'r day. Then came the grueling physical fitness tests. In previous years, students could miss an individual test and still receive a good grade for the class, but under new rules, all tests had to be taken or students were threatened with F's for the quarter. " I was really worried about my incomplete," said Jill Krabbe '83, "so I made up the shuttle run, and sit-ups in one day. After the 50 and 600, my legs felt like wet noodles. I thought it was unfair to have to do it just to get it done. " Many non-athletes who wanted an easy physical education class found a surprise awaiting them. Because a lternate day classes provided for the elimination of two teachers, many elective units were dropped in the fall so there would be enough teachers for basic sports. " I don't like the lack of variety this year," 46 academics said Tom Wyatt '84. "This unit, we could take either basketball or weightlifting, and by the time we got there to sign up, weightlifting was taken by athletes." Stl.!_dents were also disappointed because the classes, which remained became structured courses in skills and rules, with more emphasis on exercises at the beginning of each class. Few people could understand how a quick ten minutes of exercises three times a week could be helpful. " Nobody likes the exercises," said Lori Hill '83. "We didn't do them last year and I don't see what good they're doing this year. Besides, we usually wait until the teacher turns her back; then we do half the exe rcises and tell her we 're done ." Students who really suffered were athletes. Many of them enjoyed having physical education every day because it gave them an opportunity to work out in the weight room. " I used to be able to work thre e days a week on my legs and two on my arms," said Kim Behrens '83, "but now I can't. " Teachers disliked alternate day physical education even more than students. Most said it caused extra work and allowed less time for each student to get individual he lp. " We have to fill out an eva lua tion on how well each student le arns certa in skills," said Penny Hutchi.son, physical education teacher, "and because we have different students on a lternate days some of us have almost twice as many students as last yea r. " Although there were problems in the new alternate day classes, some students continued to look forward to physica l education. " Physical education is like a recess from school," said Mark Lee '84. " I think without it, school would be a lot harder be cause there would be no break from the books." _. ........... ...,., UP, UP, AND AWAY, Kris Bottrell strains to achieve a Jong distance in the broad jump during the spring physical fitness test.

"The confe rence was a great experience. It gave us a good ic;l ea of how good we were compared to others in our fi eld ," said Suzie Welch '83. " It was also neat to meet new people and make new friends, especially from Tee Jay, our rival school.

These tracks will support an iron plaque in the shape of Iowa. Welding, building, heating classes give experience orange flames shooting from a gun clasped tightly in their hands. " I found that welding class got tiring and hot because we spent the whole three hours welding, " said Kevin Smith '83. "At least the class was valuable because I found out welding wasn't for me ." Other welding students found their class worthwhile, as they combined efforts to construct a plaque which would greet oncoming traffic on Interstate 80. In the shape of Iowa with railroad tracks leading into the state, the plaque stood nearly 12 feet tall. Constructing projects was also the main goal of the building classes. But on snowy or rainy days, efforts were stifled and students were forced to sit in a stuffy room.

" By taking the threehour class, I missed out on academic skills such as foreign language or chemistry, but I'll probably end up going to college anyway." Weather had no effect on heating and air conditioning students who were confronted by mazes of countl_ess wires when they attempted to repair residential units. "The starting salary in this field is $11 to $15 an hour," said Paul Lewis '84. "Even if I don't go into the trade , I've learned something I can do for myself. I won't have to rely on a professional. " But those who decided on a vocational career had the chance for a head start through these classes. "This type of class gives the students a foot in the door. An employer will look at these students rather than a person without experience, " said William Harriman , heating and air conditioning instructor. "We also try to work on a good attitude towards employ· ment - an honest day's work for an honest day's pay." By taking cosmetology through Stewart's, Tammy Bronson '83, achieved a definite head start in her career. " I enjoy cosmetology so much I've decided to go into it as a profession after high school, " Bronson said. "By taking this class I'll have to pay for only about 1800 hours of college instead of 2100 hours." Whether students gave up extra hours to get more involved in a career or found their dream job was not quite what they had expected, most realized they were on their way to making a career choice as they broke outside the four walls of a regular classroom .

Meanwhile , Patty McSorley '84 , hovered over the stove, browning each golden crepe just until its edges were light and flakey. fina ll y, as Leth poured her cheese sauce into a bowl, the plan slipped out of her hand , spla ttering the sauce onto everything nearby, including McSorley . Across the room, Jodie Core '84, caught a glimpse of the accident and the cheese-covered jeans. When Core burst into laughter, McSorl ey turned to see the entire class pointing a t her crusty ye ll ow jeans. " It was awful! There was cheese all over me, even in my hair," McSorley said. " The worst part was going th rough school like that, a nd it wasn 't even my fault! " Despite the confusion and mess, McSorley and Leth e njoyed a yummy meal and the satisfaction of having prepared it themselves. Cooking provided one way for students to express and foster the ir creativity. " In Advanced f oods classes, for example, students prepared everything from basic America n fare to more exotic foods from far off lands," said Mrs. Patti f ord , home economics instructor. Cooking classes were just pa rt of the wide ra nge of creative courses in which students could inv olve th ems e lv es. Se ni or Eunice Fitch participated in a n independent study course in which she chose house hold crafts as her proj ec t. " To redecorate my room, I made curtains, a quilt, a nd refinished a rock ing cha ir," Fitch sa id . " It took a lot of time beca use of the detail ing, but it will last much longe r, a nd it 's just what I wanted since I designed and finished it myself. " Many students found that being allowed to deviate from the basic curriculum promoted emphasis on detailing . " I never could ha ve made a ja cket without this class. At home , I never follow directions, but in Advanced Clothing, I have to get every detail so it's just perfect," said We nd y Glenn '84. Following directions a nd developing an eye for detail were also the goals of art students. In Commercial Art class e s, students lea rned design and advertising .

Industry, drama, journalism courses encourage discovery, development of inner creativity The rewards of finishing a project, receiving a good grade, and finally taking it home belonged to industrial arts students. In Basic Metals, Bart Taylor '84, designed and built a dog box. The true payoff came when Taylor's box was estimated to cost at least $150 if he had bought it assembled. Yet, Taylor paid only $30 for the materials. Machines class taught students to make their own tools. " Now I can use the screwdriver I made when I build things. That class taught me a lot that I didn't already know," said Tim Gilman '84 . After finding skills students already had, Mrs. Pat Rockwell, drama instructor, worked to develop hidden creativity through improvisation, script writing, and performance. Debi Elliott '83, used he r abilities to write and produce a small-cast play, which 54 academics dealt with a teenage mother awaiting the birth of her baby and not knowing how to cope with the unplanned pregnancy. - " It felt good knowing that people were entertained by something I wrote," Elliott said. "At first, I didn't think it was that good, but most people enjoyed it since it was something they could relate to. " In addition to writing, Journalism 1-2 students concentrated their efforts on design and layout. Using scissors, glue, layout sheets, and magazine clippings, students got a chance to express their creativity. "This was the first time I spent six weeks on design and layout. It provided a break for students from writing, researching, and editing," said Mrs. Linda Smoley, journalism instructor. "It showed them a whole new side. of journalism!" As some students enjoyed layout, others practiced w·riting with hope that their work would be published. "Because I knew my story would be used in the yearbook, I had extra incentive to let my originality show through," said Angela Hauser '85. Whether students took economics, art, media, industrial arts, drama, or journalism classes, most agreed that being allowed to deviate from the basic curriculum gave them the chance to develop their originality. " You learn so much more when you are allowed the freedom to de velop your own abilities and let your creativity show through!" said Heidi Thoren '85.

Grabbing a chair, he a~grily sat down at the table and ignored everyone . "What's eating you?" asked Dave Brown, special education instructor. When the upset boy answered curtly, "I don't want to talk about it!", two girls suddenly piped up, "Come on, John! If we can't tell each other what's bothering us, what are we doing in here?" After a few minutes, the boy shrugged his shoulders and finally replied, "Okay, you win! I'll tell you what's wrong! " Classmates often discussed their troubles and feelings when they got together in the special education department's newlyformed Peer Group class. " Group is a time for kids to sit down and discuss a certain topic and get different views and attitudes," Brown said. " No one's views are wrong and everyone should respect one another's attitudes and ideas." As students sat in an informal circle, they talked about topics ranging from weekend plans to problems with friends, family, sex, drugs, and school. Brown originally used the same approach with fifth through tenth grade gifted students at BrowneH- Talbot School in Omaha. Even more special education students had an opportunity to participate in the peer groups when new counselor Mrs. Sharon Ballenger began working with special education instructor Cory Larson . Before coming to AL, Ballenger had worked for five years with peer groups at Roncalli High School in Omaha . While Brown's group was made up only of students within the special educa tion department, Ballenger and La rson's group com56 academics bined students who had learning disabilities and emotionally disturbed students with seven students chosen at random. Ballenger and Larson's group sometimes tried a feedback circle where one person sat in the middle and each member in the circle said one positive thing about the person in the middle. Then, if the person in the middle wanted to, every person pointed out a negative thing about the person. "The feedback circle depended on a positive stroke before a negative one," Ballenger said. "We also allowed people the freedom to pass if they didn't wish to participate." According to Larson, the peer groups were important for three main reasons. First, he said that under Iowa law, special education students had to be mainstreamed or placed in classes and situations with regu'. Jar students who don't have handicaps. "Research has shown that people wh-0 have so-called handicaps improve much faster if they are placed with regular kids and treated just the same," Larson said. Secondly, he said these groups gave students a chance to help other kids. "When I know I've helped someone else with a problem, I feel better about myself, " said Dennis Olson '84. Lastly, Larson said that the peer groups gave students a place where they could talk about any topic they chose without the fear of being put down . "Group is a time to release your feelings without getting looked down upon because of the way you feel ," said Pam Jeter '83. "ALL RIGHT! WE WON!"

This was the familiar routine many students followed to "psyche themselves up" for studying. In a poll of 81 students, 72 percent said they listened to the radio while doing homework. "The hyped-up music on Sweet 98 makes me do my homework more quickly," said Lori Christiansen '85. In the same survey, 54 percent of the students admitted to spending an hour on homework each night. Most said this was a decline from last year because under the new 50- minute periods, most teachers gave students the extra 10 minutes to work. In the hour students worked at home, they said they spent the most time on math, English, and American Studies, which usually involved short, daily assignments. "I KNOW THAT ONE," thinks Tanya Davis as her mother quizzes her over the next day's German vocabulary words. 58 special feature While most students pref erred such short assignments, a few enjoyed the challenge of a research project. "I learned how to approach people and what to say to them when I worked on my in-depth story on death for "The Echoes," said Tanya Davis '83. Students found some assignments proved to be more beneficial than others. A poll of 103 students showed 44 percent thought English assignments were least beneficial. Jane Anderson '83, criticized her English 7-8 literature assignments, saying, "They are useless because you don't learn anything, and everyone sits in class discussions waiting for someone else to speak up." Yet, according to 4 7 percent of the students surveyed, math assignments were especially beneficial. "My math homework is really useful because I know what I'm doing when I take a test," said Andy Hofert '85. But students agreed that the most important factor in determining the benefits of any assignments was the student himself. "If a student doesn't care, he's not going to learn, regardless of the assignment," said Julie Johnson '84. Of the students surveyed, 92 percent claimed they studied for tests, and a variety of ways of cramming were mentioned. While 69 percent said they just memorized, 23 percent used more creative ways to learn. "I use word association to learn vocabulary. For instance, the word jaded means tired, my name begins with a j, and I'm always tired," said Jayne Nelson '84. While teachers and 36 percent of the students claimed to take homework seriously, most took it more lightly. "I rank homework third behind reading my Newsweek and getting gas for my car," said Joe Atkinson '84- Several students said, however, that besides giving a better understanding of the material, homework taught them to become more independent and organize work hours. No matter when, where, or how studehts did their homework, everyone agreed it was a necessity for earning those all-important good grades.

To most, making their own clothes seemed to be much more complicated and time consuming than buying an outfit on an afternoon shopping spree. But in a survey of 70 students, 14 said they made part of their own wardrobe. "I sew approximately six different items of clothing during one year," said Rhonda Smith '83. "I don't mind spending the time because it saves me over $40 a year, and it allows my clothes to fit better." In addition to economy and fit, seamstresses found they could create unique outfits they especially liked. "I very rarely use one certain pattern," said Eunice Fitch '83. "I use parts I like of several patterns so that I can have a dress I love everything about." But students involved in craftmaking didn't necessarily have to be talented with a needle and thread. Many teens spent hours knitting, crocheting, creating pottery, and woodworking. " I made a three and a half foot tall wood stereo cabinet," said Tony Kill '84. " It took me only eight hours to make, and I saved about $60." Other students found craftmaking a way to personalize gifts without extra expense. " I spent approximately 21 hours making a leather purse for my sister's birthday," said Tom Moss '85. "She's used it for three years already and it still looks nice because it's better quality than one you could buy." No matter what crafts students created, even though time and work had to be expended, in the long run, money was saved.

The boys' golf team also felt the thrill of victory. After tying for second place in Metro competition, the boys took the city championship and went on to win the Council Bluffs Invitational against ten other teams. "We set a lot of goals at the beginning of the season, but we achieved more than we thought possible! " said Kim Heater '83. The football team accomplished even more than their fans could imagine, snatching not only the city championship, but also their first winning season in eight years! "It's hard to believe that the same team that only scored one touchdown in the past two years could be so successful this year," said Chris Beno '83. "When we won our last game, the whole team went crazy! " Spring sports, too, made their mark in the record book. "Everyone has been fired up since the first tournament. It seems that every time we play, we perform better than the previous time. Since we're a fairly young team, that's surprising! " said John Schwertley '85. . Track season had barely begun, and already the Lady Lynx had won three invitationals, simultaneously breaking a 440-yard meet record, the 3000-yard school record, and the southwest Iowa shotput record. Girls' basketball players also felt the thrill of unexpected accomplishments. After they set two school records by making 91 percent of their free throws in one game and achieving an astonishing 19 assists in another, the players took the city championship and set an all-time record of 14 wins!

Allowing the Jackets only 43 offensive yards, the Lynx proved that with a little confidence and a lot of teamwork, they could pull out of a seven-year losing streak and post a 5-4 record. The team started the season with long, hot summer practices. On the first day, Coach Steve Chambers wore a T-shirt with the not-so-encouraging words, " Is there life after practice?" on the back. But to keep his team determined, Chambers sent letters of encouragement to each player every week. "O ne week , he sent us a pyramid," said Bryan Whitfield '83. "Each block was a different characteristic of a winner. The base was TEAMWORK." CELEBRATING A WINNING SEASON along with his teammates, Jeff Randall wears an Abe Lynx stocking hat at the last game against Ryan. He looks on as the clock winds down to a final score of 55-6. Chambers' philosophy of teamwork as the key kept the boys going throughout the year. "Because we had a coach who brought us together, we were no longer just a bunch of guys playing for ourselves," said Bret Taylor '83. Together, teammates waited over an hour as the St. Albert game was delayed because of a mix-up between refs and officials. "The delay really affected us," said Nate Storey '83. "When you're as fired up as we were for that game, it's hard to contain your energy. We were worn out before we got on the field!" But the delay didn't affect the Lynx scoring drive . AL won 30-12. After suffering losses to Omaha South and Millard North, the Lynx were fired up for Omaha North. " We knew it was their Homecoming, and we wanted to ruin someone else's for a change," said Phil Morrison '83. The Lynx succeeded, 20-0.

Players recalled the South game, when they were winning 8-0 and South scored a touchdown with two minutes left. "The whole team was relieved when the defense played together to stop the two-point conversion," said David Paulson '85. In general, sophs felt teammates showed a positive attitude and gave 100 percent. "We were so determined to beat St. Albert that we gave it all we had," said Matt Malskeit '85.

Outstanding players, according to Coach Joe Hauser, were running backs Jeff Hogan and Jim Westmoreland, Todd Pettepier at defensive end, and Shawn Russell, defensive back. While sophomore and varsity teams were crushing opponents, the junior varsity struggled to finish with a 2-5 record. One problem players mentioned was the shifting of people from JV to varsity. "We'd just get used to everyone, and then the coaches would move one of us up to varsity. We just didn't have enough depth to do that," said Tim Gilman '84. Another difficulty was practicing with the varsity. JV players said they took second place to the varsity because p'7actice always prepared them for the varsity's next Wambold, Scott Schmoker, Jeff Hogan, Dave Phillips.

"The coaches weren't really our coaches. They were too involved with the varsity," said one player. But according to JV coach Phil Nielsen, there just weren't enough coaches for both teams. " More than four coaches are needed for 60 players," he said. Players felt the most essential element they were missing was the ability to play as a team. An example of this was the Tee Jay game when the Lynx were ahead at halftime, 6-0. " We thought we had it, so the . second half we didn't play together at all. We lost the game 16-27," said Brad Hemmingsen '84. According to Nielsen, leading the JV were Anthony Mitchell, who rushed for 120 yards against Papio, and linemen Tony Laurito, Kevin Shew, Brian Corzine, and Tony Kill.

Runners attributed their success to talent and hard work, reporting that most ran five to ten miles in practice per day and up to six miles on weekends, often in rain , mud, and snow. "They worked us pretty hard in practice , but it made me feel good about myself to know I was improv· ing," said Lori McKern '85. Support from teammates also proved vital as few parents and even fewer fans turned out to root for the team. "Since cross country is not exact· ly a spectator sport, we recruited three sophomore cheerleaders to cheer us on at the Lewis Central Invitational, " said Andy Morrison '85. GOTT A RUN HARDER!

We actually beat a team that is rated in State." "Beating Atlantic was the highlight of the season because we had lost to them earlier," said Jodie Core '84. "We really wanted that win to show everyone that we were better than them." Although the team didn't achieve a winning record, players saw the 4- 5 finish as a vast improvement over the 1-8 record from 1981 . "This season was really fun because we played as a team instead of as individuals," said Amy Petersen '84. "We also did better because whenever we had any problems, the coaches made sure we talked about them." Many girls agreed that keeping an open line of communication between players and coaches and among teammates was a factor that influenced play. Jill Krabbe '83, remembered one time when talking openly as a group helped. " At one practice when we were all feeling down because we had lost so much, our coaches made us sit down and talk about our feelings," Krabbe said. "That conversation might have been the turning point which helped us win." Several players attributed the team's improvement to new coaches Mary Kyte, Kirn physical education instructor, and Sherri Wehr, physical education student teacher, who were always able to psyche the girls up before games. Wehr was fondly nicknamed Whiz for this ability. "Whenever Whiz would say, 'Come on you guys, get animal!' we thought we could beat about anyWITH A LOOK OF DETERMINATION, Stephanie Gray passes the ball to Cindy Wilson in a JV game against Gross. one," Core said. According to Kyte, the girls were easy to coach because they caught on so fast. " I was pleased with the improvement as the season went along," she said. "In the first match, we lost to Gross, 0-2. Then, in the Metro Tournament, we beat them, 2-1." Petersen, who was named most valuable player by Kyte and Wehr, led the team in ace sets (120), ace serves (66), and spiking percentage (90.1), while Dee Christensen '84, led in ace spikes (74) and blocks (61). White was the top server (97 .4 percent). For the second year, Petersen was a first-team selection to the allcity team. Carol Koesters '83, and Core were named to the second all· city team.

Minutes later, Coppock shook his opponent's hand before his own was raised in victory by the referee. Coppock had just beaten Tod Clapper '83, a three-time State qualifier and close friend from Lewis Central, in the semi-finals of District com petition. " I felt great when I beat Clapper because in seven years of wrestling him, I was never able to beat him, " Coppock said. Coppock's individual win was not the team's only triumph over Lewis Central. For the first time in three years, the Lynx defeated the Titans 35-22 in a dual meet. With this win, the Lynx gained the city crown, a perfect dual record of 8-0, and a ninth place State rating by the Iowa Daily Press. " We were all really glad when we beat Lewis Central because they always beat us," said Bart Taylor '84.

Storey was later defeated by Nebe . and Jeff Randall '83, and Taylor each won his second individual title. This win gave Taylor a chance to win three championships, a feat only five wrestlers had ever accomplished, according to Coach Clark Allen. Winning 191 matches to 98 for their opponents, and outscoring opponents 354 to 133, the Lynx made winning look easy, but behind the scenes, the wrestlers made sacrifices to train for competition. Losing a total of 125 pounds, team members agreed that cutting weight was their biggest sacrifice. "During wrestling, I practically lived in the boiler room because whenever I was a few pounds overweight, I'd sit there trying to sweat it off," said Tom Kruse '84. Other sacrifices included sitting home on weekends when friends were out partying, and accepting lower grades because little time could be devoted to school work . But wrestlers said their success was definitely worth the sacrifices. "Wrestling's a great sport because it's just you out there on the mat. You know you can't rely on your teammates, " Taylor said . "When you win your match , you know you did it all by yourself. " Six wrestlers received the special distinction of qualifying for State competition. Although Taylor, Randall, Coppock, Nate Storey '83, Mike Wright '84, and Rob Varner '85, competed, only Taylor and Storey finished in the top six, both placing fifth . According to Allen, many wrestlers did so well because of their dedication over several years. "These guys have been wrestling since junior high or before and some have traveled around the country with other teams," Allen said . Although the team was dedicated and experienced, wrestlers agreed that they wouldn't have been as successful without Allen's coaching. "Mr. Allen's a great coach. He always gets down on the mats and wrestles around with us," said Andy Morrison '85. "Off the mat, he doesn't talk down to us, he treats us like good friends." METRO CHAMP.

With that victory, team members, fans, and even the local media predicted a great season for the Lynx. But those hopes were dashed as cold shooting hovered over the Lynx's 5-13 season. At season's end, stats showed that the Lynx had shot at only 39 percent, and that if their average would have been 43 percent, 12 of the 13 lost games would have been won. One of the team's only breaks from cold shooting came in the first round of the Metro Holiday Tournament against Papio , where Kip Shanks' 20-foot jump shot with four "OUT OF MY WAY" Stuart Crum bar· rels his way around Lewis Central's Blake Burnham.

The JV squad accumulated 320 turnovers and 307 fouls, an average of 17 turnovers and 18 fouls per game . "Turnovers, fouls, and the excellent teams we played kept us from a winning season," said Coach Terrell Clinton. When sophomore players who were moved up got more playing time than juniors, quarrels resulted which also hampered the team's efforts, according to players. "The conflict hurt teamwork, " said John Schwertley '85. " It's hard to play with so much tension. " Yet, teamwork flourished during the Harlan game . Down by ten , the Lynx pushed the contest into overtime . Then, with one second left, Doug Coburn '84, sank a basket to win the game, 59-58. The sophs experienced close games, too. Jim Westmoreland '85, also sank a shot with one second left to post a 48-4 7 win over Creighton Prep. " It was just one of those things, " Westmoreland said . " I knew it would go in!

The score stood at 52-46 with two minutes on the clock. Christensen knew her free throws would either make or break the game. "When I missed the first one, I got really nervous, but I surprised myself and everyone else by making the next six," she said. In just one minute, the Lynx had raised the score to 59-50, and 15 ecstatic girls realized the city championship was theirs. Capturing the city crown was just one goal the girls set. Another was to beat cross-town rival Tee Jay each time they would meet. When the rivals met the first time on the Lynx home court, Susan Draper '84, managed to score 46 points, the most scored in one game by an individual. Draper's efforts boosted the Lynx to a 74-70 victory over the Yellowjackets. When the teams met the second time , the Lady Lynx came from behind to send the game into overtime. " It was the girls' ability to stay calm in a tense situation which helped them win 75-71 ," said Coach Dave Brown. The final defeat occurred during sectionals 66-54 , bringing the Lynx's final record to 14-7. But the victory that would be remembered the longest was the easiest to gain. On Feb. 12, the Lynx trounced Underwood 65-44, to capture their thirteenth win and a new school record for most games won in one season by a girls' team. " Winning was great because it was so easy; afterward we all relaxed, goofing around on the way home," said Kim Behrens '83. With the city championship and their history-making record behind them, the Lady Lynx entered their last home game against top-rated Tri Center with confidence. Before a fired-up crowd on Parents' Night, the Lynx were just two points behind the 17-0 Tri Center team when the last few seconds ticked away. As the final buzzer sounded, Christensen scored two points, sending the game into overtime. "We put so much energy into the game that when they won 65-55, it was super disappointing," said Kim Heater '83. T earn members attributed their success to respect between players and Brown. A new system of bench decorum, including punishments for unsportsmanlike conduct, helped promote this respect. " We really learned to control our anger during games and practices," said Jodie Core '84. Tough two and a half hour practices consisting of laps, stretching, sprints, scrimmaging, and drills also contributed to success. " Practices were a killer, but I know they helped to build our stamina," said Missy Campbell '83. From the successful team came individual triumphs.

The team was hurt most when five key seniors chose not to participate. Chuck Fetrow '83, who set six school records his junior year, was one of those five . "I went to AAU for better competition and scholarship opportunities," he said. Other record-breaking swimmers said they gave up swimming for jobs or other sports. With the loss of the five teammates, swimmers often found themselves outnumbered by opponents, and some swimmers had to compete in events to which they were unaccustomed. Ron Murray '84, for example, had to take over the butterfly stroke for Dick Chopra '83, who graduated in mid-season. "After Dick left, I was stuck with a stroke that I didn't have a chance to win with," Murray said. Team members felt that lack of practice time, compared to the 12 A PERFECT TAK EOFF is essential for Julie Johnson as she practices the 100- yard breast stroke at Kirn Pool. hours a week most Omaha teams spent in the water, also contributed to the Lynx's poor record.

But the boys' tennis team accepted this challenge and managed to achieve winning records of 6-3 in the fall and 6-2 in the spring. "Coming away with two winning seasons after losing the top three senior players was quite an accomplishment, especially when you consider that one of our top six players was a sophomore and one was a freshman, " said Chris Leu '84. According to first-year coach Mike Forbes, two lucky breaks had a lot to do with the boys' success. One piece of luck was the arrival of senior Andres Silva, a foreign exchange student from Columbia, who played number one singles and teamed with Joe Foroughi '83, for number one doubles. At Districts, for example, Silva was in the middle of the third game in a set and was ahead 2-0, when he developed leg cramps and had to forfeit. Forbes said that if this problem wouldn't have occurred, Silva had a good chance of going to State. The second lucky break came when the school board passed a rule which allowed selected ninth graders to participate in varsity sports. TENNIS.

The only major drawback the boys faced resulted from a new ruling by the Iowa High School Athletic Association. According to Coach Joe Hauser, the Lynx were not as well represented at State as in previous years because no Districts were held. Instead, the top 24 times in state from throughout the season qualified . Some Lynx runners didn 't participate at State because of this ruling.

The absolute concentration proved to be what Punteney needed as the pins toppled under his ball to give him a perfect 300. Two months later, Punteney represented the Lynx in the State bowling tournament, where he placed sixth. "It was a fantastic payoff for the 11 years of hard work and dedication.

Resentment, rewards all part of sitting out '\fJM1 ANTED: An enthusiastic ~ team supporter who can offer strong competition during practice; will be needed as an occasional substitute; must be able to keep a stiff upper lip, sit on bench for long periods of time, and maintain good attitude. These were some of the more desirable characteristics coaches wanted in second string players. Benchwarmers, however, sometimes found it difficult to be supportive and positive when they were feeling jealous, embarrassed, and overlooked or disliked by the coach. " I feel worse about going in for the last three minutes of a game that's already won than if I don 't play at all," said Diane Schoeppner '85. " It's really embarrassing for everyone to know you 're second string." Many benchwarmers blamed their position on the coach. " I don't think it's fair that not everyone gets to play in games," said Bob Rau '85. " I work hard in practice, but I don't get to prove it in a game. Sometimes I think it's the coach's fault because he wants to win so much he forgets about everyone but the starters." According to Bob Burns, baseball coach, poor attitudes were common. " Most players would rather gripe and complain than work harder to earn the position," he said. " It's an exception to have a player who tries to improve whereas it's common to listen to a benched player moan and carry on and ruin team morale. " To avoid such problems, new boys' basketball coach Phil Nielsen dealt at the start of the season with players he felt lacked experience or ability. He told them that although he 'd like them to keep practicing, they wouldn't be suiting up. " I think it's dishonest to let an athlete think he's going to play if he isn 't going to. I don 't like to let themsit on the bench anymore than they like to be there," he said . "But my job is to win games." Despite negative feelings of benchwarmers, some believed sitting out was a good experience. " I cheer and give encouragement to whoever is playing," said Janette Pearcy '85. "I'm part of the team, too, and I think it's important for DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE SHE had to play behind sophomore s, Sum mer Erlands on stares away from the action on the volleyball c ourt . teammates to be supportive." Some felt they learned from sitting on the bench. " You can learn just by watching," said Bob Stephens '85. " I've learned a lot about other teams' strategies and I've gotten a better understanding of our own plays." This type of attitude, according to Dave Brown , girls' basketball coach, made for a valuable player who contributed to the team. "Without such players, I don 't think our team would be as good as it is because the varsity wouldn 't have anyone to practice against," he said. Several benchwarmers agreed with Brown that they weren 't just wasting their time and energy. " I'm gaining experience and I'm improving myself every day at practice ," said Julie Andersen '85. " I know that I have more of a chance to play next year." Although being a benchwarmer was a difficult position, team members and coaches believed that with a positive attitude, a benchwarmer could be an important part of a team. WHEN'S MY TURN?

" When I go shopping, I look for something cute," said Andrea Sasso '84: " but I will always make sure it is inexpensive or on sale."

" I like the styles they have at the lower prices." Girls weren't the only ones who shopped for bargains. " I shop K-Mart or JC Penney's for the best bargains," said Dave Park '83.

" I couldn't believe it when twins Ben and Jess File got the same gift, a book on how to pick up girls! It was so ironic! " said Jamie White '84. Like Speech and Debate Club, many organizations made the events they participated in crazier than ususal. Senior porn pon girls, for example, decided to do more than just eat the cake that was given to them by the sophomores and juniors of the squad. "We were all in tbe student lounge eating when Monica Nunez shoved a huge piece of cake in my mouth! That's what started a cake fight!" said Susan Lara '83. Pompon girls weren't the only students to receive a tasty treat! On Abraham Lincoln's birthday, each of the 966 students received a free doughnut for breakfast, courtesy of Pep Club. Making the event even more out of the ordinary, the club members asked math instructor Bob Pettepier to dress as Abe Lincoln and help deliver the "I WAS GETTING READY to eat a cookie when my cat just grabbed it from me and started gnawing on it .

"We wanted to do something different that everyone would remember, even if it took 1000 doughnuts to do it!" said Shelly Moore '84. Foreign Student Club also took advantage of what could have been a boring day. While decorating for Christmas Dance, members decided to try breathing in the helium that was supposed to be used for balloons. "A lot of us didn't know we would talk with a squeaky voice as a result of breathing in the helium. We got a kick out of it, so we did it all day!" said Gayle Swartz '83. Band members also experienced squirrelly feelings during their hay-rack ride after a football game. "Some kids jumped off their rack, ran ahead, and hid in the bushes. When another rack would catch up with them, they would jump out and scare everybody. Everyone thought the practical jokers were strangers trying to get them!" said Debbi Nielsen '83. Imagine it! Organization members gave Playboys as gifts, staged cake fights, and got high on helium! Who would have believed it? "I WAS JUST SITTING THERE when all of the sudden I felt this huge piece of cake slap the side of my face!" said Sandi Voss. Voss cringes at the sight of cake through her glasses as other porn pon girls finish the cake fight.

Carefully aligning themselves with various points on the gym floor, 11 Lynx porn pon girls strived to perfect the routine they had learned and on which they would be judged later. The next morning, when time for evaluation rolled around, the girls learned they would perform outdoors in the grass instead of on the line-marked floor where they had practiced. Neverthe less, the _ girls returned with a trophy for being a "Superstar Squad. " " After that incident, we knew we had a special unity between us and that we could perform under pressure," said Monica Nunez '83. PRACTICE, P RACTICE, PRACTICE.

First, the squads faced the pressures of earning money to help each girl buy a uniform. Although car washes, clinics, rummage sales, and dunking booths could offer the girls only $20 a piece for their $100 uniforms, many girls felt that the time they spent together strengthened bonds between them. " Moneymaking really helped all of us get to know each other better," said Shelly Welch '84. Soon the excitement generated by a winning football team boosted the squads' energy level. "We all looked forward to the games," said Ann Szemplenski '85. " It was always fun when we all got together to cheer." But having everyone together wasn't always an advantage CHARGE! Pom pon girls fire up at a basketball game by joining in on an echo cheer. "WHEN DO WE STOP?" seems to be Sara Draper's thought as she watches Joni Powers for the signal to end a che er at a home wrestling match . when preparing for an assembly. Cheerleaders and porn pon girls alike admitted that pep assemblies weren't well organized and lacked new ideas. " It's true; some of the pep assemblies were boring, but we weren't hired as professional entertainers," said Susan Gaffney '83. "It really was difficult to plan 30 minutes of amusement for 900 restless students." Pep Club also had problems boosting school spirit. Decorated lockers, treats for athletes, and spirit posters were often missing from the football season. "We didn't have many members and no elected leader, so were were pretty much on our own," said Lisa Brandenburg '84. Although football season had its share of ups and downs, basketball season brought more dilemmas than most had expected. In the season's first ten days, porn pon girls and cheerleaders got a taste of the hectic schedule ahead as they were forced to wear uniforms on seven days, attend four games, and prepare for a pep assembly. "The porn pon girls had too many things to do in too little time. As the season progressed, we got too busy to keep our unity," said Kathy Kimball '83. Porn pon sponsor Cheryl Schmidt attempted to resolve the problem by suggesting the girls eat breakfast together each morning. "It made us realize we needed to spend time just to talk to one another. We all felt a little guilty that we hadn't before," said Teg Poffenbarger '85. Cheerleaders also felt that the hectic schedule was more than they could handle.

When it happens four days in a row, I just stop myself and take a day off!" said Charris Ocken '85. Even though basketball squads seemed burnt out by season's end, wrestling and volleyball squads ended their seasons feeling sad that the good times they had shared were over. Volleyball season gave the newly formed squad of six girls a chance to bu ild friendships among themselves· as well as spirit for the team. "We had fun times because we were all friends, " said Mickey Fairchild '83.

"Sure we had troubles, but since we all cared for each other, we experienced few problems." Besides cheering and traveling to and from matches, wrestling cheerleaders held weekly donut and candy sales to pay for the State Tournament trip . With each girl paying $50 out of her own pocket, the squad found itself with just enough money to cover the $540 hotel bill.

But despite the nervousness the angry breezes had stirred, most band members felt they had tried their best during State Marching Contest at Audubon. After their performance, the 52 musicians and 23 flag and rifle girls stood rigid, awaiting their rating. Tension was suddenly relieved as the announcer said, "Abraham Lincoln, Division 1!" "When the score was announced, I was jubilant.

"I received enough hugs that day to last me a lifetime, or at least until next year!" In addition to their 1 rating, the Lynx earned 195 points out of 200 in music execution, the highest score of the 32 bands in competition. Due to the widely publicized unsatisfactory teacher evaluation given to Misner by Principal James Gaffney the previous spring, band members made extra efforts for a successful year. "When the bad evaluation was given to Mr. Misner, it affected not only him, but the band as well," said John Johannes '83. "It made us feel bad and insulted, so we tried harder than ever to gain recognition." To perfect their maneuvers, for example, rifle girls practiced 11 hours a week and initiated a demerit system that members took seriously. "We knew that if we didn't go to practices, we'd get kicked off the team," said Monica Stover '85, "so everyone always went." But to accomplish all their goals, band members had to tackle many problems, not the least of which was a rainy week and field of gooey mud during rehearsals before contest. " It was like quick sand. Everytime we took a step, our shoes would get stuck," said Linda Thiel '84. FLAG TEAM. FRONT ROW: Ruth Tijerina, Linda Thiel, Kim Hol· linger, Pam Hansen.

"It's too bad for Mr. Misner as well as the rest of the band," said Mike Montgomery '84, "because having fewer people prohibited us from doing some more challenging pieces of music." But band members tried to make up for these limitations. Pep band members, for instance, learned twice as much music for the '83 season to give their performances added variety. Since the group's primary goal was to get the audience more involved, members moved from the balcony to the game floor. " Being closer really helps," said Teri Wilson '84. " It feels like we're part of the action, and I think that gets the audience more excited! " Like the band, the orchestra found that its enrollment slipped terribly under the new schedule, yet the 12-member group found a few advantages in its small size. " My minor in college will be the violin, and since the orchestra is smaller this year, the extra individual attention is a great help," said Kim King '83.

Although the stage band's enrollment remained the same, the group was hurt by the new schedule, which forced members to meet only on alternate days. "Meeting only three days a week was tough because we had to put in extra practice time," said Debbie Arrick '83. "But in the end, we put together a fine show for our trip to Conception." The trip to Missouri, stage band's biggest event, provided members with memories. "The neatest thing about Conception Abbey is the monks! They always give us a warm reception and make all of us feel important," said Alyce Spoto '84. "Once I'm there, I don't want to leave!" Good times and learning experiences came easily for band members and their support teams. "Being in band wasn't just fun and games, but a lot of hard work," said Scott Rathman '83.

M uscles tensed and hearts beat rapidly as several hundred music students sat on the bleachers of the Red Oak High School gym, awaiting the results of their All-State Chorus auditions.

As the girls taped the lists to Holding a high note all yeat long Choirs excel to win awards and rank superior the wall, singers scurried in clusters to the gym floor where all eyes focused on the long awaited results. "I made it!" screamed Tom Wyatt '84. "Oh my gosh! So did I!" gasped Troy Kinney '84. "Hey, Shelly, so did you! " "I have to see this for myself!" insisted Shelly White '83, who charged through the crowd to peer closely at her name. AL students jumped up and .down, cried, and hugged one another, for on this day, 14 of them had become members of the 1982 All-State Chorus. " I couldn't believe it! " said Sheryl Cory '83. "I was so excited that I was hugging everyone in sight, even people I didn't know! " Lee Spann, vocal music instructor, said this was the greatest number of accepted All-State members since 1968. With such a super start to their year, choir members were inspired to set goals and excel.

"I felt disappointed that we got second place, but I was also happy," said Shelley Kenkel '83. " Everyone wanted first, and we really worked for it, but receiving second was an honor since we didn't even place last year." Awards didn't come easily to choir members. Early morning rehearsals starting at 7 a .m. on school days and 8 a.m. on Saturdays were necessary to practice for Small Group Contest. Long hours finally paid off as students brought home 21 superior ratings, 22 excellent ratings, and 2 good ratings. " For the past two years, we have tried hard to get a superior rating. We've come close before, but this year, we did it!" said Vicki Witham '83, a member of Softones, a triple trio of senior girls. Yet competition was not the only reason ensembles formed . Since the Softones were graduating, a new triple trio of sophomore girls called the Entertainers was selected at semester to perform at programs throughout the rest of the year. " It's a neat feeling knowing you're picked to be in a special group separate from the choir," said Julie Royer '85. Sparked by their eagerness to perform, four sophomore boys formed a barbershop quartet. "We try to make our performance unique and memorable," said Paul Allen '85. " By writing our own songs, we add originality to our show." To end the year on a high note, the choir spent an enjoyable weekend at Worlds of Fun, where they competed for the last time in the park's Festival of Choirs. Chilled by the 50 degree weather, the singers huddled together as they rehearsed their music one last time with a pitch pipe instead of a piano. ' Even under these conditions, the vocalists pulled together and earned yet another Division I rating. "No matter how the performance went, the important thing is that the choir tried to do its best," said Lonny Watson '83. SOFTONES.

I would like to do more for the club, but music is my top priority," said Mark Ryerson '83. Creighton Math Days, held J an. 29, proved to be the major activity of Math and Computer Club. Although members spent time preparing for their special events, no one came away victorious. " I worked 100 hours on my COMPUTER FUN.

I was really disappointed by the judging because they didn't follow the instructions given to us," said Chris Johansen '83. Apathy also affected the Science Club. According to president Cory Secular '83, only one or two members showed up at several meetings. "We were just missing enthusiasm," Secular said. Lack of interest foiled many of the club's plans. " We did have a donut sale, but we planned many more fundraisers that we never held," said Vicki Witham '83. " We were going to go to Des Moines, but we had to cancel. " Despite these difficulties, sever a I clubs made accomplishments. for four weeks, German Club members lugged boxes of traditional German candy around, each hoping to sell $20 worth needed for the trip to the Amana Colonies. Although the group had no trouble selling $ 1400 worth, they had problems finding the candy to sell. "The company we usually get the candy from closed, so we went all over Omaha following up on all the stores that sell Gummie Bears. We were just about to give up hope when Mrs. Rodriguez received a letter from a company saying they would take our order," said Gayle Swartz '83. The Home Economics Club baked its way to the Amana Colonies. Mixing, baking, and decorating Valentine cookies carrying special " I love" messages netted the group $ 150.50, enough for the 14 members to reach their destination. A trip to Worlds of fun provided the motivation needed for the Spanish Club, whose profit makers were candy and special message sales for St. Patrick's Day. "Since we raised over $200 to pay for our trip to Kansas City, we didn't have to pay anything out of our own pockets," said Jacque Hyde '84. Although the Electronics Club did not take any road trips, members got away through the air waves. An amateur radio was set up, and the boys talked to people as far away as Connecticut. "They kept trying to get the antenna up and couldn't, so they had me throw a line with the antenna up in a tree because Mr. Boylan said I was the pitcher of the group," said Chuck Page '83.

" Sometimes I wrote so much I thought my hand would fall off! " said Carolyn Andersen '84, " but when I was done, I felt like I had accomplished something! " Everyone in earshot knew the staff had accomplished something when squeals of excitement echoed through the halls after edi· tors learned their '82 book was named one of the top five in the nation. "Mrs. Smoley told us over the intercom that we had won the Pacemaker award , and we all freaked-out! We went racing down the halls screaming, 'Pace· maker, Pacemaker! " said Jill Krabbe '83. Just a week earlier, the staff was notified that the '82 book had won the Gold Crown award. Although newspaper staffers were happy about the yearbook 's honors, a kind of sadness hovered over them. "I could tell they felt inadequate because they hadn 't received such prestigious awards," said Mrs. Linda Smoley, adviser. Little did the newspaper staff know that soon they would win nearly every writing award given at J-Day, go on to capture the title of Best Newspaper in the metro area, and earn two state sweep· stakes trophies. " When the time came to an· nounce the winner, we sat on the edge of our chair with fingers crossed, eyes closed, and breath held . We just about died when they announced Echoes as Best Ne wspaper! " Gilbert said. Thoughtfulness towards each other brought staffers as much pl e asure and excitement as awards did .

" On one of the final deadline nights, Mrs. Smoley gave each senior a personalized graduation card.

Yet, the discouraged group held membership drives at the junior highs to encourage upcoming sophomores. " I think the membership drives will have the greatest effect on new sophomores," said Lois Heidenescher '83 . " We gained only five members from current sophs and juniors." When members were not busy trying to recruit new faces, they helped local Kiwanis Clubs with fundraisers, attended weekly meetings, organized money-makers, and took part in conventions. In November, Key Club sponsored an all-night skate-a-thon for Multiple Sclerosis, involving 100 high school , junior high , and grade school students from all over Council Bluffs. "Working with Kiwanis, we raised $735," said Toni Steward '85. " I had fun planning it because I knew the money was going toward a good cause. " With help from Kiwanis, four girls attended the district convention in Omaha , with students from Kansas, Nebraska , and Iowa. INSTRUCTIONS from sponsor Mary Gepner are an important part of preparing Courtesy Club members Kris Bottrell, Pam Hansen, Ronda Bargenquast, Julie Wagman, and Amy Petersen to welcome guests for spring musical. " We elected officers for our district and attended seminars which taught us more about Key Club. Meeting kids from other schools was really neat for me because it was all a new experience, " said Robyn Castillo '85. While Key Club was trying to recruit new members, Courtesy Club and National Honor Society waited to see who would be recommended and finally selected as members of their groups. To raise money for its induction ceremony, NHS sponsored a computer matchup. The club's only money-maker raised $200. After the 20 juniors and 16 seniors were inducted, a reception was held. "The induction was really special and meant a great deal to me ," said Paulette Leu '84. Courtesy Club served as hostesses for open house , vocal and instrumental performances, the play, musical, graduation , and baccalaureate.

Pay attention. I have some dittos to pass out. Everyone take one, and I'll explain them," he said. As they passed out the sheets, veteran members wondered curiously about such organization. They were expecting last year's shouting and confusion. On the ditto was an outline of things to be done for Homecoming Week and the names of those in charge of each activity. According to Ballenger, this list was just the beginning of what he wanted to accomplish. "I had three goals: to work closely with the administration, to involve the student body, and to keep our account out of the red," he said. ''I'm proud that we Ce1 fin' ahiolufely mofivafed Student Council gets organized for active year; Foreign Club slows to gain outside involvement ended our year with almost $1000 in our account." Having such a surplus of money presented the pleasant-problem of deciding how to spend the money before the end of the year so it wouldn't be used for the general fund . "Jeff came to a meeting with about five ideas for things to buy for the school," said Shelley Kenkel '83, secretary. "We voted on a clock for the student lounge and a directory for the front hall because we figured most people would benefit from these items." Many members felt that Student Council sponsored more activities and was more organized than the previous year. "Everyone in Student Council was there because they wanted to be," said Kim Heater '83.

Members also decorated for the holidays, helped Foreign Student Club with the Christmas Dance, sponsored the Christmas movie and Bloodmobile, and planned to enter a float in the Pride Parade. While Student Council was getting fired up, the Foreign Student Club was laying back. The club sponsored only two activities. To introduce exchange students to our American holiday, members prepared traditional Thanksgiving dishes and a turkey at the home of Gayle Swartz '83. "The dinner was really neat because we don't have anything like it in Norway," said Grete Mathisrud '83. "Even though we had studied it, it was different to be a part of it. " OFFERING THE LATEST tidbit in gossip, publications photographer Tanya Davis talks to Barb Jensen, exchange student from Denmark, at a swim meet. Jensen lived with Davis while in America. The club also blew up 720 balloons and hung 2000 feet of crepe paper from ceilings and walls to make Christmas Dance one of the best. " All the kids really pitched in ," said Don Whyte, sponsor. "This dance was the best we've had here in a long time. " Although the club sponsored only two activities, Swartz felt members were better off to be less active. "The purpose of the club is to get the exchange students involved; therefore, those in the club are active in extracurricular things, " she said. "If the club always had something planned, no one would have a chance to be in other things. " Although they went about it differently, Student Council and Foreign Student Club members felt they accomplished goals set at the beginning of the year. 125 ''M om, I need a $10 band uniform deposit by tomorrow, plus $11 for my choir shirt and $60 for new track shoes.

A survey of 50 students showed that 31 participated in two or more clubs or activities, and 1 7 of those polled spent between $200 and $400 on gas, food , summer camps, and uniforms. " I spent close to $400 this year on cheerleading," said Lori Nichols '83. "My uniform and accessories alone cost $200, and the rest went towards carny, gas, and decorations.''

" People don 't realize how much money we spend on posters, streamers, and paint for decorations," said cheerleader Marcy Fulfer '83. " That money comes out of our pockets, not the cheerleaders' fund ." Yet, most of these students realized the only return they would get for their money was personal satisfaction. "The $80 I've spent on gas to go to the printer could be taken out of the newspaper fund , but we'd rather have the extra pages and occasional spot color in the paper," said Becky Gilbert '83, Echoes editor. Some students found participating in sports could also be a major expense. With special shoes, camps, and gas, some athletes ended up paying almost TO SHIELD HERSELF FROM THE WINTER WIND.

Swing choir, concert choir, and band also took a bite out of many pocketbooks. Swing choir boys put out close to $ 7 5 for matching suits and shoes. As the expense of participating rose, so did the question of whether participants should have to pay the $15 activity ticket fee . Although it wasn't stated in the student handbook that cheerleaders, athletes, porn pon girls, and band members were required to purchase activity tickets, for years these groups had been encouraged to purchase tickets each fall, and many of these students believed they were required to do so to participate . Twenty-nine of 50 students polled felt that these groups shouldn't have to pay to partici· pate. " Athletes, porn pon girls, and cheerleaders perform for the audience," said Jayne Nelson '84. "They shouldn't have to pay to represent their school. " Mike Messerli, activities director, pointed out however that the school made just $6500 on activity tickets in 1983, compared to $8300 the previous year. " We spent $1000 on football jerseys, and $900 went to the Echoes, so you can see how fast the money goes," Messerli said. He said that if the athletic and spirit groups didn't buy tickets, the school would have to resort to a participation fee of $15 for each activity participated in. Despite their occasional complaints, most involved students said they would pay the cost of participating all over again.

Death • 1n a bottle W hen 12-year-old Mary Kellerman woke up with a runny nose and sore throat, her parents gave her an ExtraStrength Tylenol capsule to relieve her symptoms. Within an hour, she was found dead on the bathroom floor. As news reports from Sept. 29 to Oct. 1 told us that poisoned Tylenol had taken seven Chicago lives, we found it hard to believe that someone had randomly selected Tylenol bottles from the shelves of Chicago stores and carefully filled capsules with deadly cyanide. "I lost a lot of trust in people," said Becky Gilbert '83. " I can't understand how anyone could kill people he didn't know or have anything against." As we liste ned to reports about the Tylenol slayings, we were struck by the irony of it all. Tylenol, the drug we had trusted as a safe and effective pain reliever, had suddenly become deadly to some who sought its relief. " [ was amazed," said Debbie Armstrong '85, " because people began not to trust anything they bought at the grocery store." As Tylenol products were removed from shelves across the country and Tylenol manufacturers computed their losses at over $75 million, a 105-member task force and 43 lab workers sifted through hundreds of clues. But by January, all the leads had falle n through, and police reported that chances of ever finding the murderer we re slim. As the investigation continued, so did copycat tamperings, as 270 product tamperings were reported across the country.

Pros T hey memorized 848 lines, practiced 206 man hours, and suffered through countless cat calls and hisses. Yet, they said it was all worthwhile . They were the four-member cast of the all-school play The Glass Menagerie . "Sometimes during practice, I'd want to just quit and go home and sleep," said Scott Coffin '84. But it was evident that the cast didn't give up . To prepare for their performances Oct. 22 and 23, each spent more than two hours a night memorizing lines at home . "We had such a tremendous / line load," said Peggy Button '84, " that sometimes I'd worry about four people having to remember so much."

" But actors were disturbed by complaints from other students about there being only four members in the cast. " It seems unfair to choose only four students for the production when it's called an all-school play, " said Becky Brown '84, who echoed the cry of many others. Director Patricia Rockwell defended her choice. "It's a good play. It's timeless, and it speaks to young people," she said. "I picked it for the quality of the script, not the size of the cast." Despite student complaints, cast members realized one advantage of having a small cast. " Mrs. Rockwell really gave us a lot more individual attention than we would have gotten if there had been a large cast," explained Susie Lara '83. "She TALKING A MILE A MINUTE to ease her nervousness, Amanda (Peggy Button) entertains her daughter's gentleman caller (Scott Coffin) before dinner. took us aside and really helped us develop our characters." According to Coffin, this individual attention made the cast members professionals. And professionalism was what they needed to handle the rowdiness of the matinee audience . " I thought the audience was very rude. It didn't make me feel too good when I was on stage doing my best, and I got bombed with pennies, " Button said . "They want a funny play year after year. I guess they're not mature enough to handle a serious drama." Yet, some students appreciated the performance. " I really enjoyed the play ," said Shelly Moore '84. " I didn't expect it to be that good." Actors agreed the play was a great learning experience. Deal explained, " It was fun. I'm glad I was a part of it." FORGETTING LINES is not uncommon.

The officer approached the door, asked for the boy 's driver's license and asked the boy to get out of the car and breathe into the chemical test machine. Just as the boy expected, the officer said, " Son, your blood-alcohol level is .12; I'm going to have to arrest you on the charge of drunk driving ." What the boy didn't know was that an Iowa law in effect since July 1 had substantially toughened the drunk driving penalty. Under the new law, the arresting officer could get a warrant by phone to revoke a license for up to four months if the accused took a breath test and up to six months if a breath test was refused . " I feel the new law should make a person think twice before getting into a car drunk," said Julie Wagman '84. During the first three months the law was in effect, alcohol related accidents in Iowa decreased 4 7 percent and there were only 50 deaths, the lowest since 1962, according to the Department of Transportation. But despite the tougher law, 35 of 50 students polled said they would still drive after drinking. " Drinking and cruising Broadway is about the only excitement in this town," said one senior girl. Yet Iowa legislators were making it clear that drinking, driving, and getting caught is not an advisable mix.

Formed in September by Dick Miller, a local pharmacist, the group performed basketball demonstrations at 20 elementary schools and spoke to sixth graders about school involvement as an alternative to using drugs. " It's a good idea to keep younger kids off drugs, and I get satisfaction knowing I can make a difference," Ballenger sa id.

The GOP lieutenant governor overcame his leading opponent, Democrat Roxanne Conlin, 53 percent to 46 percent to continue a 14-year Republican hold on the Iowa governorship. " I think it's great the Republicans are still in control. They've done well in the past, and I think they'll keep the economy in good condition this term," said Mark Ryerson '83. ,,. Yet, a Democrat, Robert Anderson, was elected lieutenant governor, and Democrats recaptured control of both the Iowa House and Senate, suggesting Branstad would have a hard time getting his proposals through the legislature . agreed upon , though, was a 1 percent increase in the state sales tax, which Branstad signed into law in January to take effect March 1. According to Mike Miller, city manager, under the new tax law, it was estimated that Council Bluffs businesses would contribute an additional $1.5 million to state revenues. David Christensen , former mayor and owner of Christy Creme, expressed concern that Council Bluffs would never benefit from the added revenue . " I resent all that money taking a one-way trip to Des Moines," Christensen said. Businesses, in general, said their sales wouldn't be affected by the tax increase except for the implement dealers on the state borders.

" When I finally got to the top, I just shut my eyes and hoped I wouldn't crash into anyone ," said Teri Hough '83. Most seniors, however, chose not to take part in the thrills and stay at school.

The night started when a silent alarm went off at the west branch of the first Federal Savings and Loan , and Dan Hiley, vice president, was called in to check. Upon arrival, Hiley smelled gas and called People's Natural Gas. He was told to leave the building and that someone would come to investigate. Meanwhile, Douglas Hale, an employee of People's Natural Gas, was getting ready to leave for St. Pat's Christmas Eve mass when he received a phone call to report to the bank . With Hiley and Hale inside , the bank exploded at 4:20 p .m., taking both men's lives. The explosio n leveled the bank and damaged the surrounding buildings of Burger King , Con Dru g, All-St ar Tire , and an apa rtme nt ho us e across the street. As the news fl ashed over radio and TV, students were shocked to learn that Hale was the father of Jason '83, and Scott '84 . While officials still looked for the bodies of Ha le and Hiley, the Dennis Scoular family of Cres136 our times cent headed for a grandparent's home in Council Bluffs. On his way to pick up a friend , Jack (Cory) Scoular '83 , had pulled out of the driveway moments before his family . But when he arrived at his grandparents' home, he realized something was wrong because his parents had not yet arrived . To find out what had happened, he got back into his car and drove along Interstate 29 north to Crescent until he came to a roadblock and was rerouted around the interstate . It wasn 't until his trip back to Council Bluffs that he saw what he thought was his family's car. When he stopped to gain information, officers told him that all victims had been taken to Mercy Hospital. At Mercy , a priest told him there had been no survivors of the terrible accident. Scoular learned that his family, including his parents JoAnna a nd Dennis, his two brothers Alan Troy and Dennis Lee , and Elizabeth Gayman, who lived with the family , had been killed when they were struck head-on at 7:40 p.m. by a car driven by Genevieve Johnson of Missouri Valley.

"It really made me think ," said Monica Nunez '83 . " On Christmas day, I said a prayer at the table and everyone there cried. This accident touched a lot of people ." The most difficult emotion many students faced was a sense of helplessness. " I sat with Jason for almost six hours the night of the explosion," said Jon Schlemmer ' 83 . " I didn't know what to say to him because he lost his mom due to cancer seven years ago and now he's lost his dad, and I still go home to mine every night. " Four days after his father's death , Jason played in the Metro Holiday Tournament against Milla rd South and went on to be leading scorer for that game and winner of the John Ke ndall award for his tournament play. The award was giv e n for sportsmanship , hustle , lea de rship, and ability to inspire.

For the funeral services, Cory and two friends of the family, Monica Nunez '83, and Vicki Witham '83, wrote eulogies to be read about each of the Seculars. " We sat up a ll night to write these because we felt that although eulogies are nice, they're often cold," Nunez said. " We wrote about how Troy and the others influe nced our lives. We tried to put the love we felt for them back into the eulogies." Troy was a member of the debate team, a gold honor roll student, a nd a member of the J V basketball team. He was also active in Junior Achievement and the Southwest Iowa Horseshoe Pitching Association. "Troy had a lot of determination a nd drive ," sa id Valarie Witham '83.

These included stricter tardy enfor cement, mandatory attendance on the day of participation in a school event, and tightening of early dismissals. The early dismissal policy caused the greatest controversy. Under the policy, a parent could call to check a student out, but the absence would probably be unexcused unless it was an emergency or doctor appointment. Some students felt as Connie O'Grady '83, did. "As long as a person doesn't abuse the privilege of checking out, a student should be able to," she said. But Vice Principal Paul Krogh explained his view. "A parent has a right to get his child out of school," Krogh said, "but we must question whether the reason is legitimate. Such things as babysitting aren't." According to Krogh, the new policy brought major improvements, including at least a 50 Goal met with gift from heart A s she watched the blood dra in slowly from he r friend's arm, Lori Kinney '83, wondered whether she should jump off the table and run back to the safety of study hall.

"Even though I'm a superintendent now, I still consider myself an educator," he said. After his arrival Feb. 1 from Atlantic, IA, Lepley visited each Council Bluffs school so that he could begin to set goals for the system. Lepley said he hoped he could encourage more interaction between the two high schools. "There is no way to make the two schools the same ," he said, " but I do feel no student should have to sacrifice because of the school he goes to." Lepley also said he was considering the creation of a decision-making counsel for each school, consisting of students, teachers, and parents who would meet with the principal regularly to decide such things as budgets and discipline. "I hope this will help build community-wide expectations of the school system," he said. WITH A WARM SMILE, Superintendent William Lepley talks with some Bloomer elementary students at lunch.

Even though Iowa's unemployment rate hovered around 9.5 percent, compared to nearly 11 percent nationwide, many students had feared that their parents would become unemployed during the two-year recession. For some families, the situation grew more tense in March wh en it wa s a nnounc ed th at Iowa 's unemployment insurance fund was bankrupt. But March brought hope that more jobs might be just around the corner as the national unemployment rate dropped to 10 percent from 10.3 in J anuary. " I hope it means more jobs because I want one this summer," said J odi Rhoten '85 . " I have noticed more help wanted ads." Another encouraging March statistic was a drop in inflation to 2 percent, as compared to 18 percent three years ago. Due to a corresponding drop in interest rates, key industries also began reporting growth in February. " People defi nitely have more confidence. The turn around is great," said Scott McMullen of McMullen Ford. " It's been a long struggle. " One of the most important signs of recovery was a rise in home sales, with mortgage rates averaging just under 14 percent, the lowest in 27 months. " Builders and realtors locally are optimistic about the conside rable pick-up in sales," said John Pogge of J.J. Pogge Realty.

At least that's what people say . And Mother Nature was no exception .

Finally , she hit us with the worst snowstorm of the year the weekend of March 27 . By Sunday, we had accumulated 13.3 inches of snow, the record for the winter. During April, Mother Nature again brought us below freezing temps and poured ten inches of snow on us, nine more than April's normal snowfall. Even on Prom night, April 9, we fought her cold, wet snow. " Yuk! I just hate snow! " said Shirley Chesley '83. " I'm terrified to drive in it. I just keep wishing it would go away. " Finally, on April 20, Mother Nature saw fit to inch the mercury to 50 degrees, and spring fever hit us once again. " It's really great to get out in the sunshine after being inside for so long," said Judy Bailey '85. Temperatures kept climbing throughout the month, and on April 25, Senior Skip Day, Mother Nature blessed us with warm breezes and bright sunshine. " It seemed cool, but I got really sunburned without realizing it," said Teri Hough '83. All we could do was hope that Mother Nature had finally settled down and realized it was springtime. But if we thought she had been nasty to us, all we had to do was look at the East Coast where she dumped 35 inches of snow and blew drifts up to nine feet high, or California, Louisiana, and Mississippi, where she caused floods, mudslides, and tornados.

" I may be biased but besides football, I think they deserve it most because they've made a name for the school. " With the honors all presented, the 49 seniors and their parents left the heat of the auditorium with satisfaction. WITH A SMILE AND A HANDSHAKE, Jeanne Miller is presented the State Bar Association's Good Citizenship Award from Robert Sheet, representative of the State Bar Association. Due to an evaluation he labeled unfair, Misner . spends year trying to make things right by ... Fighting the system I n a persistent push to set the record straight, Jim Misner, band instructor, spent much of the 1982-83 school year fighting an evaluation he felt was unfair. Written by Principal James Gaffney in the spring of 1982, the evaluation stated that Misner performed unsatisfactorily in knowledge of subject matter and organization. Due to this low evaluation, Gaffney placed Misner on a " growth plan," which called for improvements in specified areas. Jim Misner leads the drums in a cadence before the band plays "The Swing March." KEEPING THE TEMPO, Jim Misner directs at the winter Concert. " My professional competence has never been questioned ," Misner said. " I feel that with the record of achievement my students have, it is unfair not to acknowledge their success." Many students agreed the band's accomplishments were proof of Misner's competence. " During marching season, the band pulled together to beat the system that was trying to say we didn 't know our stuff," said Debbi Nielsen '83. "We did the right things at the right time . We proved his record_. ' ' Misner hoped to reach a compromise in which his evaluation would be scratched from his file although he would continue to follow the growth plan. After various unsuccessful meetings with Gaffney , members of the Council Bluffs Education Association (CBEA), and Raj Chopra, superintendent of schools at the time , Misner decided to file a grievance. But despite Misner's efforts, Chopra ruled that the evaluation had been completed properly, and since only the methods, not the content, of an evaluation could be grieved under the current teacher's contract, Misner was left unsatisfied. Misner then hired an attorney and filed another grievance against Gaffney , charging harassment. Since the grievances continued to go unresolved, the Iowa State Education Association (!SEA) stepped in to help the CBEA solve the Misner case. Although the next step in the grievance procedure, according to the master contract, was to bring in an impartial arbitrator, no arbitrator had been scheduled as of May 20. After his arrival on Feb. 1, Superintendent William Lepley held meetings with Misner; Gaffney ; Micheal O ' Brad ovi ch , Misner's attorney ; CBEA officials; and Joseph Scalzo, assistant superintendent. As of May 20, Misner planned to continue the fight against the evaluation, which remain ed a part of his record although discussions were continuing.

" It eve n helped me decide on a couple careers I might be interested in ." Although the fair was a success, many students fo und it hard to see all the professionals. " When we walked in the door, the first 15 or 20 minutes were spent talking to each other," said Kim Johnson '84. " By the time we got the nerve up to talk to the professionals, half the period was gone. " Yet , most stud e nts were pleased with the fa ir and hoped to see it next year. april I may 143 MflY Rain tries to keep citizens from showing pride, but successful parade proves nothing can zap ... F ire truck sirens blared , bands tooted, horses trotted, and candy flew even though an overcast sky threatened rain. Out of the 111 entries that paraded down Main Street on that rainy morning for the fifth annual pride celebration, only two belonged to AL. One of those was the Marching Band , which joined with Tee Jay and Lewis Central to form one large band. " I thought it was really neat to see the bands pull together and try to do our best," said Valarie Witham '83. Student Council members and cheerleaders also participated by making and riding on a float shaped like a huge oper-r yearbook with names of AL organizations written on the pages.

Mike Lee '83, was honored for winning the 10,000 meter run, and juniors Valerie Gates, Karen Dunsdon, Jean O'Grady and Kelly Reilly e ach re ceived a $50 savings bond for helping the elderly during the past year. " I was surprised to get it, because only five were chosen in the whole city," Reilly said. Before the parade, students participated in a week of pride activities. Starting Monday, May 9, they walked through the halls clad in sweats, Hawaiian shirts, and mini skirts, according to the code for the day. " Punk and preppy day was my favorite ," said Angie Simmons '83, " It was fun to dress wild." Then on Thursday, May 12, Dr. Ra j Chopra returned to Council Bluffs to ded icate a " Welcome to Council Bluffs " sculpture at Thirty-sixth and Broadway. Despite the drizzling rain , Chopra was greeted by enthusiastic students and officials proud that at last the city would be identified to visitors driving from the west. The 20-foot high sculpture in the shape of Iowa attached to an arch of railroad tracks was designed by Jeff Brown, a senior at Tee Jay, and built by welding students at the Career Center.

" I fill the oil and windshield wiper fluid to save money," said John Peak '83. " I don't want to pay anyone else to do something that I know I can do just as well. " Finding parts for his Rambler wasn 't easy either. Nelson had to contact a shop in Chicago just for the right size front shocks. Even girls learned how to pump their own gas and check the oil regularly to save money. ''I'm glad my dad teaches me how to do things when something goes wrong," said Marie Miller '84. " He showed me how to hook up battery cables and how to check the brake fluid in my 1965 Dodge Dart convertible." " I bought the car for $100 to use for some parts, and I've saved quite a bit of money because of it," Nelson said. After saving on the necessities, Nelson splurged and bought a 150-tune musical horn and an electrical antennae. To pay for these extras, Nelson had to work full time at Village Inn as a cook in addition to going to school. Other girls had little idea how to check the oil or other fluids, but they tried anyway. " I wasn't sure where to put the oil," said Patty Mauer '83, "so I just found a hole that looked good and dumped it in ."

"I got scared stiff I'd mess up or forget something." But Rageth didn't need to worry as he finished eighth in his competition. While Rageth battled steers, Susan Draper '84, battled winter's wrath.

He saved her life. "I didn't really think about what to do," Meeker said. " I just knew I had to help her." But students weren't doing the only amazing things. Standing 4'9" and weighing 83 pounds, Chris Wahl, English instructor, wasn't daunted by her size. Besides teaching and caring for her baby girl, she played the piccolo for the Omaha Symphony. According to Wahl's students, small didn't mean meek. "She broke up a fight between two big guys," said 'Paul Allen '85. "That's brave, considering her size!" We also had our very own beauty king.

Covered everywhere with rust and gray splotches, the beaten Volkswagen Bug was literally falling apart. Whether a beater or an '83 Camero, a senior's car had a special place in his heart. "My car might not be brand new, but it's original and fun , and best of all, it's mine, " said Monica Nunez '83. Some seniors even felt their cars and trucks helped them express their moods. " If I'm tensed up or mad, I like to drive my truck because it has a bad exhaust pipe and it's really loud, so it gives me a feeling of power," said Stuart Crum '83. For others, driving their car provided feelings of pride. " I feel proud when I drive my jeep, and it's especially fun to drive with the top off in the summer," said Lori Connor '83. Some seniors even felt their cars could be a reflection of their own personalities. " ! definitely think my car reflects my personality - we're both flashy ," said Larry Punteney '83.

Johansen, who called his car a shambling, rolling wreck, agreed with this theory. "My car reflects my attitude toward life. I can't ever seem to get into gear, and I'll probably sit home all my life and wait 'ti! I fall apart." Some seniors, on the other hand, said they definitely hope their personalities "I are nothing like their cars. Jeff Randall '83, said, hope I'm not as unreliable as my car!

In a poll of 50 college-bound seniors, all claimed to fill out at least one scholarship or financial aid form a week. 'The only thing applying can do is help. No one ever loses anything from doing it," said Kim Heater '83. In the same poll, 74 percent of the students said they had applied to three or more colleges. " I applied for five colleges because I can't decide which one I want to attend. It feels good to be accepted to all of them and have plenty of time later to decide which one I like the best, " said Sondra Schumacher '83.

"I've applied for three colleges, and I've spent $120 on applica· tion fees. It seems like a lot of money, but when I think of how it is helping me with my future plans, it seems well worth spending," said Gayle Swartz '83. Most college-bounders found that the time they spent planning for their future was just as essential as the money. "I spent an hour and a half filling out two scholarship forms because I wanted to do them correctly," said Mike Brunow '83. Visiting colleges to help make the final decision took the most time of any college preparation. " I realized how different high school is from college when I observed a class at Lincoln. Unlike high school, it seemed as though every student wanted to be there to better his education, " said Mary Rogic '83. " I also learned a lot about handling college freedom." EXCITEMENT IS . ..

BLUSHING BRIDE TO BE, Pam Butcher tries on a wedding dress at Cyndi's. eddi11g bell Newlyweds cope with problems to make life together a success S tarry eyed, Pam Butcher '83, stood facing her reflection. Could this be the girl who just a few weeks ago had thought the most important priority in her life was getting her assignments in on time? Now, she peered through her veil and saw ruffles of lace cascading from her dress. She knew that in the months to follow, her life would take a completely new direction. Butcher had planned for nearly five months for her wedding, which would take place just three days after graduation. " It's really hectic, but we're ready to take this step and get married. Since Jeff was in the Marines, we were separated for about eight months," Butcher said. "In that time, I realized I had no desire to go out with anyone else. I think the time apart helped us grow up a little. We realize it will be hard, but we'll make it!" Months and months of tedious planning for the big day were just part of what lay in store for couples deciding to marry. Money also played a big factor. " It's kind of insane to pay over $200 for a dress you'll wear only once ," said Heidi Finerty '83. " But once you look in the three-way mirror and see yourself in that dress, it's all worthwhile! " Money continued to be a major hinderance after the actual wedding date. Many couples spent long nights balancing a budget and cutting corners to make each dollar count. " Paying bills is a real switch!" said Julie Webster McCabe '83. "That was Mom's job! " Although it was hard for couples to make financial adjustments, being married while still in high school was an greater adjustment. "It's really hard to get motivated to go to school in the morning, I think maybe I should stay home and clean the house," said Cindy McElroy Joneson '83. "It's also hard to get homework done with so many other priorities waiting to be done. I think if I had it to do over again, I'd wait until just after graduation, because when you're married during high school you have no time to get involved in any activities and therefore miss out on a lot. " Although statistics stated young marrieds experienced a higher rate of divorce, couples at AL claimed they were more than statistics and could make their marriages work. " I didn 't plan on getting married during my senior year, but I never said I wouldn't," said Scott B. Smith '83. " I don't plan on ever getting a divorce, and. I know we can make it work! " Jeannette Lewis Johnson '83, agreed. " I think it depends on the couple and their relationship and how hard they wDrk to make it last! " she said. The 1982-83 school year saw six couples married, and although they agreed marriage was a big step to take, they were confident their marriages would last.

Although Stebbins wanted to major in computer science, she admitted using her brother's computer most often to play games. " When my mom and I have time, we like to compete and play Snake Bite, Pac Man, and Serpentine," Stebbins said.

While most people were just beginning to realize that computers could be helpful in everyday life, Greg Wyant '83, went one step further when he built a computerized robot which he read about in Radio Electronics. "I started the robot as a hobby, but eventually I would like to advance its mechanics so that I can market it," he said . Wyant said the robot stood three feet tall, was made of metal and wood, and moved by FM signals sent out by remote control. "Right now I'm working on the arms, and hopefully by this summer, I will have most of it done so that it can walk and pick things up," he said.

Occasionally as she wandered past, gossip would float to her ears, making it seem like she too was sharing the latest news. Then suddenly she felt as if everyone knew how alone she really felt. Many times, when students saw loneliness creep into their lives or a friend 's, they realized it was something everyone felt and that it was hard to cure. "Seeing someone who's constantly alone makes me feel terrible!" said Susan Gaffney '83. " I wish I knew how to make the awful feelings of loneliness go away." Being a new student brought about a kind of loneliness that a few people had to suffer. One girl who came to AL from New Jersey told of her feelings. " I really felt a lone at first when I saw bunches of friends having fun together," said Barb Ruff '83. "It made me remember the times I used to have. I wanted to have fun , but at the time I hardly knew anyone." Losing a friend because of a change in schools or a serious disagreement also brought feelings of solitude and emptin~ss. "I never thought about how much I needed my friend until she started hanging around with someune else," said Lori Hill '83. " It made me realize how alone I felt without her. " The most acute feelings of loneliness often followed a breakup with a girlfriend or boyfriend. Just seeing other couples together reminded most students of that special someone and made them want to be near that person again. Whether students knew when an attack of the " lonelys" was about to hit or they were surprised to find themselves feeling alone, most admitted that loneliness was a painful part of life that had to be accepted.

Or if you were a little girl, you used to think, "When I'm older I'm going to be a nurse and cure everyone's illnesses." Although such dreams weren't very practical, even seniors continued to enjoy fantasizing about what they might be doing in a decade or so. "This summer, I'm going to New York to train as a model, " said Rhonda Smith '83. " My fantasy is to be a glamorous model on the cover of Vogue magazine. " Like Smith, Grete Mathisrud '83, also found a career in fashion and design appealing. " I've always idolized the famous Norwegian fashion designer, Per Spook, and someday I would like to design clothes that would set trends across the nation, " Mathisrud said.

Punteney said, " If I make super mouth , it would be a big break in my career, for my ultimate goal is to be an anchorman on a television news station. " While some people had big dreams about the future, most were down to earth about where they wanted to be ten years from now. "I plan on having a house, being married to Deanna, and having a good job as a CPA. If none of that works out, I'll become a pro fisherman," said Joe Diblasi '83. Although most seniors said they had dreams about being rich , they admitted that having a family would be more important to them.

Armed with streamers, airplane glue, tape, and their precious poster filled with shiny new pennies in the shape of an 83, the pranksters started decorating the upper hallway. After they were finished with their handiwork , the ramp was covered with two huge posters reading, "Beer is great; sex is free. We're the class of 83! " can say, 'I made it!' " Other " dirty deeds" took place too. Late in the evening of May 16, eight more girls met and walked to AL with twelve rolls of toilet pa per and a can of shaving cream. As six of the vandals proceeded to teepee trees, light poles, and the lawn, the other two sprayed " 83" and " Senior Power" on the front windows with the shaving cream. " We had a blast teepeeing," said Ruth Tijerina '83. "I was among friends doing something totally wild and crazy." The typical water balloons were thrown and M-80's lighted, too. Although no one was hit, seniors Joe Diblasi and Alan Arrick got inhouse detention for throwing water balloons from above the student lounge and the ramps. "I didn't even plan the attack, but I was the one who got caught! " said Diblasi. " First I had to mop up the water, and then I had to go to in-house. " Yet another less publicized prank was pulled when two senior boys sneaked into the girls' restrooms and stretched plastic wrap over the tops of the toilet seats. " We thought it would be fun to see someone after she had tried to use one of those toilets, " said Bryan Whitfield '83. Whether the pranks were funny or not, Don Scheibeler, Latin instructor, summed up the situation at commencement practice on May 18 when he said, " Although your pranks are funn y and creative, they better stop now, or when your parents come for graduation, they're going to think you're graduating from an outhouse!

The main reason most of these students graduated in January was that they wanted to get started building a career. "Right now, I'm working part time at American Agrisurance. Therefore, I want to get out of school so that I can work full time and establish a regular job there," said Robin Steenrod '83. Others, though, like Kim Devereaux '83, planned to continue their education after high school. " I want to keep on working at Hy-Vee so that I can save a little money before going into advertising at IWCC in March," she said. But most students expressed mixed emotions about graduating. " I might regret it later on because I will miss seeing familiar faces every day," said Georgia Plumb '83.

Beverly McCumber, office secre tary, said, "One idea behind raising the requirements was to force students into three full years of high school. " Many students felt that attending school for three years was not a bad idea. " I figure why start working earlier than necessary because after graduation, we will all probably work for the next 40 years of our lives," said Paul Rounds '83. Some students even changed their plans when they realized that their senior year was going by so quickly. "I decided I was in no hurry to get out of school, especially with jobs so hard to find right now," said Kim King '83. "It would also be easier to get a scholarship if I attended school through May."

We became addicted to non-nutritious, calorieadding food like candy bars, Doritos, pizza, pop, doughnuts, and french fries. We were truly junk food junkies. In our quest for the ultimate fix , we searched out our favorite suppliers. In a poll of 50 juniors, 34 said pizza was their favorite junk food and Godfather's their favorite restaurant. " I like Godfather's because they pile on the ingredients until it's really thick and chewy, " said Kelly Cihacek '84. Although pizza ranked highest on our list of favorites, students said they were always willing to settle for a burger at Burger King. " I like to cruise Broadway and the best place to eat and see people is at Burger King," said Mindy Mowery '84. Even at school, we consumed unbelievable amounts. A quick check with the vending machine companies showed that 992 of us consumed 342 candy bars and 200 cans of pop every day, totaling 3 ,000 calories. While vending machines satisfied our hunger pangs at school, we went home for the ha rd stuff. " As soon as I get home, I break out the potato chips, " said Teresa Brockelsby '84.

HEAVENLY FU Youth groups find fellowship, God T o some people, church was a place to catch a few extra "Z'"s, but to students in youth groups, it was a place to meet new friends, have fun, find peace, and learn about God. According to members, youth groups attended camps, concerts, baseball games, golf matches, Worlds of Fun trips, and much more. A lot of these activities brought friends closer and provided opportunities to meet new ones. " Belonging to a youth group helped me get to know my friends in a different way," said Lisa Smith '84. " We seemed to be more open with each other and we're closer because of it." A poll of 50 juniors showed that 21 belonged to church youth groups. "It is important because it involves you with others in a friendly atmosphere while worshipping and learning about God," said Julie Johnson '84. Some students said having God close to them provided an anchor for their lives. "When I can't rely on friends for help, I know God is always there," said Pam May '84.

IN A BATTLE OF CONCENTRATION, Danny McGee and his little brother Jason spend a quiet afternoon playing chess. 17 6 juniors Leth-Ronnfeldt Younger siblings loved and loathed 0 n a typical evening, Tammy Sward '84, was stuck babysitting her 5- year old brother Walter. As she relaxed in front of the TV, she was disturbed by a loud crash. She sprung up and darted into the kitchen to find pieces of her mom's fav or· ite canister strewn on the fl oor. " Walter, I'm going to kill you! Just wait until mom gets home ," she screamed. " I only wanted a cookie ," Walte r whimpered. Tammy looked into his sad eyes beginning to fill with tears, and she softened. Like Swa rd , many students who had younger siblings had to suffer through babysitting and borrowed belongings. Yet, in a poll of 100 students, 67 said the most irritating habits of siblings were to invade privacy and cause embarrassment. " On my first date , my mother drove us to the movies. My sister rode along, staring and laughing at us the whole way . It was a total disaster! " said Jayne Ne lson '84 . Although students found brothe rs and sis· te rs to be little brats, most agreed siblings also had the ir good points. " It's sweet when my sister kiss es me goodnight. It makes up for the rotten things she does," said Molly Wa lden '84 . Be ing admired by siblings provided warm feeli ngs. " When my sister was fighting with a fri end , she came to me for advice. It made me feel good to know that I am a fri end and a brothe r," said Chris Huelshorst '84. Other students agreed that they loved being looked up to . " When I had a pa pe r route , my sister would get up at 6:30 just to help me," said Jenny Bowlds '84. Although younger siblings could drive a pe rson insa ne , the treasured memories of tender kisses, warm hugs, and trusting eyes made students realize they couldn 't live without those little sweethearts.

Garfield was well known for sudden urges. Often he would stroll into his room, freeze , make a diving leap for his bed, and yell, " Nap Attack! " " People like the way he does things without notice, " said Brenda Barger '84. His joy in life was his dog-friend Odie . Garfield loved to hate him. Nothing could give more pleasure to life than kicking a half-wit dog across the room, he said. Besides personality, Garfield had few assets. He could hardly be called good looking. His oversized eyes made his head look disproportionate, and how he kept that overstuffed body upright was a mystery. "I think he's ugly," said Carolyn Andersen '84, " but the things he does are so neat you can't help but like him. " Garfield wasn't concerned about his looks. He enjoyed being fat and tried to make oth· ers feel the same . A common saying was, ''I'm not overweight, I'm under tall." " He over eats just like I do every night," said Eric Coleman '84, " and he makes you feel good about over eating." But perhaps Garfield's lazy lifestyle accounted most for his popularity. People found themselves wanting to live by his motto, " Eating and sleeping. Is that all there is to life? I certainly hope so!" He ruined several cat stereotypes. To him mice was a cuss word , and chasing the creatures was a waste of energy. " I think it 's hilarious that Garfield won 't chase mice," said Linda Thiel '84, "because my cat won't either." But despite Garfield's faults, students continued to love him and plaster his likeness on everything from T-shirts to notebooks. Garfield's sarcastic outlook on life can even make tragedies seem humorous. - Marie Miller '84 Darrin Rooney Jackie Rowland Todd Russell Tina Saar Andrea Sasso Scott Schamel Mike Schlott Megan Schmoll Julie Schutt Troy Scoular Lisa Seaman LeAnn Shanno Christina Sharp Leslie Sharp Mike Shea Denise Shenefelt Kevin Shew Charles Shrader Charise Smith Kevin Smith Lisa Smith Marsha Smith Paul Smith Rod Smith Brad .Snipes Sheri Sorrells Alyce Spoto Tammy Steenbock Trevor Stichter Paul Stites Amy Stogdill Joe Stom 17 8 juniors Rooney-Zahn OUT ON THE TOWN.

Hey Susan, what's the answer for number six?" I won't tell you until you give me the answer to number four. " Secretive conversations, cheat sheets, and copied assignments were common on test days, silent work days, and any time students didn't take time to complete their assignments. A poll of 100 sophomores showed that 69 che ated. Students who cheated admitted the major reason was inadequate studying. "The only reason I cheat is that I've come to class without studying, and I want to do well," said one sophomore girl. Students who didn't cheat said they resented the ir classmates who did. " It upsets me when people cheat because it can affect the grading system," said Maureen Edwards '85. " I work hard for my grades, and it's irritating when the person next to you cheats and gets a better grade ." Most students agreed that cheating was getting more difficult. "It is hard to successfully cheat," said a sophomore boy. " Teachers are really cracking down." Teachers took special steps to prevent cheating on tests. Biology teacher Joe Hauser and math instructor Anina Madsen, for example, passed out several versions of each test. " A teacher knows who the cheaters are," said Cheryl Schmidt, English teacher. " If I do see someone cheating, I generally just have to give them a stern look." Non-cheaters appreciated such teachers' tactics. " It's hard to say no to a person who wants an answer," said a sophomore girl. " If a teacher rea lly watches for cheating, it takes a lot of pressure off me." Thirty-four of the 100 students surveyed said they felt guilty about cheating. " I fe el guilty because I know I'm not learning anything," said a sophomore girl. Cheating is unfair because it's someome else's grade, not your own. - Laura Gordon '85 Karen Beaver Gwen Belt Kevin Belt Amy Be nnett Linda Be nton Peggy Boardman Jackie Boot on Julie Borwick Penny Bostine los Jeff Bowen Be v Bracker Rod Brandenburg Jeff Brindisi Sean Brown Diane Bruner Kim Brunow Travis Buckles Jason Carrier Robyn Ca stillo Chris Christensen Eric Christense n Lori Christiansen Lori Christiansen Wendi Cihacek Sherry Coble Carla Coenen George Connor Joan Cosgriff cheating 181 SPACING OF ____ _ Sophs tell why they enjoy daydreaming m t's Monday morning; you're sitting in first hour, and all you can think about is the past weekend. Your eyes sparkle and a smile brushes across your face . You're lost in a world of daydreams - until suddenly a voice interrupts. " Jon, would you please join the rest of us? " In a poll of 60 sophomores, all agreed that school was their number one place for daydreaming. "I daydream in school because I'm usually thinking of things more exciting than what the teachers are saying," said Karen Stone '85. Weekends provided one of those more exciting things. "I like thinking about what my boyfriend and I are going to do Saturday night, especially as it gets closer," said Stephanie Gray '85 . A 1981 study in Time showed that daydreaming, which consumes 30 to 40 percent of a human's waking hours, is good for us. Students agreed that spending their time in a world of daydreams was indeed beneficial, despite dirty looks from teachers. "When I daydream, I get a chance to look at myself and realize my bad points, and I think about ways of changing them, " said Terry Osborne '85. Some said daydreaming actually helped them solve problems. "If I've lost something, I spend the day thinking of where it could be , and what I can tell my mom, " said Helen Poulos '85. Others reported that daydreaming about upcoming events helped them visualize the way they wanted things to turn out. " Once I was planning a party, and the excitement made me .think about how I wanted it to go," said Diane Schoeppner '85. " It turned out even better than I had planned." So remember, the next time you catch yourself spacing off, it's not because you're bored in class, but because daydreaming is good for you. ''When I daydream, I always like to think about the having lots of money someday." -Tammy Tietsort'85.

With all these required courses, how do I fit the classes I want into seven periods?" Such feelings were often voiced by sophs as a result of the curriculum changes adopted in the spring '82, which dropped one period from the school day, added requirements for graduation, and required that incoming sophomores enroll in a three-year course of study. Added requirements included two semesters of both English and math and one semester of both science and government. The change forced members of the Class of '85 to cram two additional requirements into a day that was one period shorter. As a result, many sophs felt drastically limited in course selection. " I thought when I got in high school, there would be more freedom to choose the classes I wanted," said Michelle Mann '85. " Now, with all the required courses, I have neither the time or space to take electives. I really feel tied down and limited. " Most sophs said that they would have preferred the old schedule. " In an eight-period day, we could have choosen more electives. Now we just waste the last ten to fifte en minutes in the longer classes," said Stephanie Gilmore '85. Students also criticized the new sequence of study, which required ninth graders to select the general, college, business, or vocational track and then complete specified courses within the track. Many felt ninth grade was too early to make such decisions. " I don't see how the administration can expect a ninth grader to have the maturity to decide on a ce rtain track," said Jolene Schwartzkoph '85. " It's too early to know what career 'you want, and students need flexibility." If not for the dreaded requirements, some kids would take basketweaving if they could. Andy Hof ert '85 HEAVY LOAD.

That's what PUSH (Prevention Under Student Help), a group of 37 sophs, did to keep younger students free of drugs. After being organized by former school board member Mike Winchester, the group got training in peer counseling at Operation Bridge in Omaha. Soon they were writing skits which they later performed and discussed on a one to one level with students in the fourth, fifth and sixth grades. "Our skits give kids ideas for handling situations with drugs and alcohol that they will later face, " said Diane Schoeppner '85. By November, the group had already accomplished several feats. First, each of the members received a letter from first lady Nancy Reagan complimenting them on their work. Next, members Bruce Schafer and Schoeppner argued before the city council in favor of the Ban the Bong Bill. Finally, the group traveled to Washington D.C. to speak before the National Drug Abuse Council. "It was great the way members of the audience praised our work and urged us on," said Chad Johnson '85.

Messerli, is it okay if we have a donut sale for Speech and Debate Club on Monday, the 14th?" " Hey , Mike! Harlan just called and cancelled the girls' game for Saturday night. " " Mr. Messerli, I think it's a little ridiculous that we have to buy acti vity cards to wrestle ." Such was a day in the life of Mike Messerli , activities director. Bombarded by questions about everything from porn pan uniforms to Key Club parties, he knew an A.D.'s life was a nything but easy. In his second year as A.O. , Messerli was in charge of handling club activities and athletic events. Each A.O. in the Metro Conference was responsible for s~h duling a ll events for two or three different sports fo r all 20 schools in the conference. In 1982, Messerli , along with three other A.O. 's, was also in charge of the Boys' Metro Holiday Tournament. "We handled eve rything from concession stands to custodians to stat-keepers, " said Messerli. Responsibilities sometimes kept M~sserli at school more than 20 hours a week. " I try to attend every home game I can," Messerli said. " If there isn 't a home game, I go to the away games. It's hectic , but at least I try to eat di nner with my family ." Although a calendar a bove his desk he lped Messerli keep track of all extra-curricular activities, sometimes a conflict in scheduling couldn 't be helped . A sophomore basketball game, for example , was sched ul ed the same night as the Christmas Dance , and some of the sophomore cheerl eaders felt they shouldn't have to chee r. " This is something tha t happens only onc e a yea r," said Charris Ocken '85. " We shouldn 't have to rush to ge t ready a ft er chee ring and then go to the dance. " But Messerli , a long with sponsor Patti Ford , agreed that chee ring should come before social events, and the girls were required to chee r. Despite conflicts and compla ints, Messerli enj oyed orga nizing extra-curricular activities and seeing that students had a good time . " ] neve r rea liz ed it would be such tro uble," sa id Messerli , "but I enj oy every minute of itl " 188 staff gaffney-ford SUPERVISING AT THE NORTHWEST-AL MATCH, Mike Messerli checks up on injured Northwest wrestler John Nunez while Northwest coach Dick Markoff helps outSCHOOL BOARD - FRONT ROW.

Office Education Relations, COOP After a long days work, exercising mind and body helps teachers ... UNWIND " ild mannered math instructor Anina Madsen, perfectly coiffed and clad in a tailored skirt and starched blouse, clicked down the hall in her heels and disappeared into the women's restroom. In five minutes she came out transformed - her professional attire had been discarded for an old, faded , stretched out pair of pants and worn tennies. The 3:05 bell meant an end to the school day for most students, but for the teachers of Council Bluffs, 55 minutes dragged on before they could go home at 4 p.m. to unwind after their long day. Teachers found a variety of things to do. Along with eight or nine other female faculty members, Madsen spent a half hour exercising on days she didn't have to help students or do paper work. "We were talking one day about how overweight we were getting, so we decided to start exercising," said Penny Hutchison, physical educqtion instructor. The teachers found that exercising picked them up before they went home . " It's not just the motivation to get in shape and lose weight that keeps me doing it," said Chris Wahl, English teacher. " I've found that after exercising, I have more energy to get all my household jobs and paper work done. " The exercisers bent, stretched, jogged in place, puffed , and sweat along with Joni Greggins on the Morning Stretch program, which the media department had taped for the group. The next morning, the teachers often complained of sore, aching msucles. " There are mornings when you just try to roll out of bed, and once you're up, not bend anything," said Mary Gepner, social studies instructor. Social studies teacher Dennis DeVault also chose to exercise occasionally by jogging five to ten miles after school. " I run basically because I enjoy it and to keep my weight down." Others preferred to exercise their minds playing chess instead of working up a sweat. " Before I came to AL, I was at Edison and the big thing there was cribbage," said Phil Nielsen , physical education instructor. " I never played chess and the first year, I never won a game ! My chess skills are improved now, and it's fun to play." 191 Bess Pappas. Counselor Bob Pettepier. Math Analysis, Trig, Algebra 3· 4, Head Softball Peggy Rodriguez.

Sponsors find after-school hours and nerve-wracking situations frustrating but • • • WORTHWHmLE '' 8 ut Mrs. Grandick, we want to go home tonight!" six homesick and cranky Speech and Debate Club members moaned as they huddled together in a parking lot in Sioux Falls. "If there's no heat in this stupid van, there's no way I'm driving back to CB!" speech and debate coach Marsha Grandick screamed back. Crouched beneath the dash, Grandick carefully pushed the missing heater fuse into place, and every· one breathed a sign of relief as the heater kicked on. Sometimes being a club's sponsor required more than supporting members and keeping the group orga· nized. "I figure that with my automotive skills, I can go into mechanics if I quit teaching," Grandick said. Countless after-school hours were put in by dedicated sponsors to publish the yearbook and newspaper, present entertaining musical productions, coach speakers an? debaters to State, and organize effective porn pon and cheerleading squads. "I spend close to 25 hours each week after school sitting in the same chair reading copy and discussing ideas with students," said Linda Smoley, yearbook and newspaper adviser. Besides spending endless extra hours, sponsors sometimes had to solve conflicts within the group. In her first year as cheerleading sponsor, for example, Patti Ford encountered resistance when she revised some squad regulations. " Mr. Messerli said I could handle it any way I wanted to, and I chose to make a few new rules," said Ford. " Some of the girls disagreed because my rules were different from last year." Some students felt they should be able to make their own decisions without sponsors' intervention. " Scheib is a great Senior Class sponsor," said Michelle Maaske '83. "When we have an idea, he won't say, 'I have a better one.' He'll help us develop our own." Sponsors agreed that helping students develop their ideas and watching them grow and progress was worth all the time and hassles. " You meet the neatest kids in the world," said Smoley, "and then you watch them grow up into wonderful young adults." Jennie Bonnichsen. Cook Marge Brandon. Cook Linda Bryen. Aide Bev Crousehorn.

One trick he found successful was to eat half his hamburger and then take it back, saying it wasn't done to perfection. " It works all the time," said Stingley. "They usually won't argue about raw hamburgers; they just give me another one! " Other students found themselves trying to beat high costs by ordering just enough to satisfy their hunger. " I know how much I can eat, so I don't waste a lot of money ordering food that I won't finish," said Laurie Koontz '84. Sometimes having little brothers and sisters meant sacrificing. part of a student's own meal. " I don't mind sharing something with my brother, so we can cut down on the cost," said Robin Smith '85. Another way to shrink a restaurant bill was for friends to pool their money. "It helps us save money when we all chip in for pizza," said Kim Dittmer '85, " so we don't have to buy our own." Whether students were starving for pizza, fish , chicken, hamburgers, tacos, or some other form of quick nourishment, most said they chose a restaurant for its prices as well as quality of food . In a survey of 100 students, 32 said Burger King was their favorite place to eat. " I like Burger King for their economical prices and because you don't have to wait forever for your food," said Steve Lincoln '84. When students could remember to use 'two for the price of or.e' coupons, they got the chance to get twice as much food at a cheaper price. "Some people think it's a waste of time to cut out coupons, but you'd be surprised how much money you save in a year's time," said Scott Coffin '84.

Toilet paper forming the words " '83 forever" clung to the grassy hill. Yes, 1983 was a year to remember. As amazed fans, we had cheered our athletes to eight winning seasons and five city championships. "The golf team won about every tournament we entered and now we're off to Districts! " said Curt Nielsen '85. :'What a classy way to end the school year!" Singers, too, astonished us with their dedication. After 14 of them crooned their way to the All-State Festival, 67 choir members went on to receive two Division I ratings, one at Harlan and one at Worlds of Fun. "Right after we sang at Worlds of Fun, the ratings were posted. Mr. Spann held up a one with his finger, and his 206 WITH ON E LAST H UG before the graduation cere m ony, Becky Gilbert and Barb Jensen walk to the cafeteria . hands were shaking! We were all overwhlemed with our performance, " said Sheryl Cory '83. Pride filled us, too, as we listened time and again to announcements of more awards won by speakers, debaters, and journalists. At last count, these groups had amassed 80 trophies, plaques, and certificates and had gained such honors as first place newspaper in Iowa, one of the top five yearbooks in the nation, and third place in state debate competition. This fall, the Speech and Debate Club set out to break last year's record of 25 awards, but we didn't expect to receive 34!" said Lowell Bryant '83. Yes, we had accomplished more in 1983 than we had ever imagined we could, and as we glanced at the paper message clinging to the grass on the hill, memories of those achievements and priceless moments flooded our minds. _ I !I TENNIS SHOES WITH A PROM TUX?

On the last day of school, Joe Hauser, boys' track coach, gives hugs to Dee Chirstensen and Mike Lee, the first State champion tracksters in AL history! Christensen placed first in the shot put with a throw of 42'9", the sixth best in State history. Lee, who placed first in the 3200-meter run, had a time of 9:25.6, ten seconds ahead of the second place finisher. GEARING UP FOR STATE, Dee Christensen practices her discus throw on the AL track. In addition to her first place shot put throw, Christensen hurled the discus 123'10" for third place. "IF YOU DON'T PRACTICE HARD and believe you're going to win, you won't," said Mike Lee. Lee practices his running technique on the AL cross country course. • • / ----Cf?etweett the coveh 9 t all began in July 1983, when seven yearbook editors went to a journalism workshop in Iowa City. There they ate, drank, slept, showered, and breathed page designs, theme ideas, paste-ups, copy and caption writing. But the really hard work started when they joined 14 staffers and their adviser to make all those new ideas a reality. Part of that reality lay in technical consistency - strict adherence to these sticky details: Except for art heads, all type was company set by Herff Jones Yearbooks in Marceline, Missouri, according to the following specifications. All body type is 10 pt. Souvenir Light except for division pages, which are in 12 pt. Folio tabs are 12 pt. Souvenir Demi; scoreboards and captions are 8 pt. Souvenir Demi; folio numbers are 18 pt. Souvenir Demi. Quote outs. news heads. and subheads range from 12 to 42 pt. Optima Black. Opening, closing, division pages, endsheets. and index heads are Murray Hill Bold, reduced or enlarged by the company to specifications. Art heads are Zipatone 42 pt. Swing for student life; Letraset 30 and 48 pt. Princetown for sports; Zipatone 36 pt. Fritz Quadrata for academics; Zipa· tone 48 and 24 pt. Dom Casual Diagonal for organizations: Zipatone 48 pt. York and Zipatone 36 pt. Golly for people. All rule lines are one or two pt. and were company set. The 700 copies of the 1983 Crimson and Blue, Volume 85. are printed on Bordeaux 80-pound paper. The cover is custom embossed on 160 pt. cross-laminated binder's board, using Olympic Silver base material with Cadmium Red applied silk screen. The four-color photo block was tipped on by Crimson and Blue staffers. Sixteen pages were printed in full color. and 32 used the following spot colors: Ultra red, silver, cyan, ochre. Endsheets were printed in silver. The 1982 Crimson and Blue received a Medalist and Gold Crown from CSPA, a Five-Star All American and Pacemaker from NSPA. and t be Sweepstakes Trophy at Northwest Missouri State University's J-Day. For the fourth consecutive year, the Crimson and Blue was selected as a National Showcase Sample for Herff Jones. haltl~ youf,_____- ewe owe a sincere thank-you to all of the supporters and helpers who made our 1983 book possible.

Ii SCHOEPPNER 1 UP CLOSE Education proves major c_oncern as self-study, teacher retreat turn routine year into one of examination A s we arrived at the familiar tan building Aug. 30, everything seemed exactly as we had left it three months earlier. Days became weeks, and nothing hap· pened to distinguish this school year from any other. As usual, spirit flowed through the stands at football games but usually failed to spark our team to victory. Controversies that had reached the boiling point in previous years seemed to have cooled down forever, and we settled back into school's basic grind. But underneath all this routine, things were happening that most of us weren't even aware of. Nationwide, education was on everyone's mind, and Council Bluffs was no exception; Sparked by the Nation at Risk report, teachers, administrators, and concerned parents flocked to AL Sept. 24 to hold one of several state·wide meetings on the quality of education in Iowa. AL itself was in for close scrutiny, too. Students didn't realize it at first, but in October, teachers began an extensive examination of every facet of the school. Everything from the heating system and cafeteria food to transportation services and the curriculum was evaluated, with not a single nook or cranny overlooked. By December, 25 com· mittees had formed, and almost everyone on the faculty had filled out 14 pages of forms and answered hundreds of questions. One day in October, teachers took an especially close look at themselves. The faculty, including principals and Supt. Bill Le· pley, scurried off into the wilderness of Camp Hitchcock for a retreat, where they openly discussed the conflicts and morale problems that had plagued them for two years. ··At the teacher retreat, we were all working towards a better educational environment and everyone had problems they felt could be solved. It turned out to be successful because everyone began feeling that they could pull together," said Chris Wahl, English instructor. continued on page 4 2 Opening "IT WAS THE FIRST car rally I've been involved in, so I was pretty excited about decorating," said Bev Bracker. Jayne Nelson, Bracker, Linda Wright, and Tammy Steenbock add the final touches to the jeep used for pep club. "HOW DO I LOOK?"

Opening 3 ... ~ Stand-out personalities sparkle as individuals add special touches to liven up school, make year memorable So it was a year of self-examination. But our curriculum and facilities could be probed forever, and what we were all about would never be uncovered through questionnaires, statistics, or re· visions of school policy. There was so much more to us than that. We were 1020 individual students and staff members who gave unmistakable character to this tan building, the letters AL, and our mascot, the Lynx. After all, what would AL have been without Mike Wright '84? Dressed only in a grass skirt and his P .E. shorts, Wright swayed through the cafeteria to promote the Homecoming luau. "l think Mike had a lot of guts to prance around the student lounge like that," said Brad White '86. "It was probably the craziest thing that happened all week.'' And what would our pep assemblies have been without Jodie Core '84, who ignited not just the volleyball team, but the entire student body, with her "FIRE·UP" yells? "Jodie is hyper enough as it is, but when she gets up in front, she riles up the whole crowd," said Dawn Young '85. The spirit of Mark Dorsett '85, also seemed contagious. Jump· ing to his feet, imitating the cheerleaders, and screaming at the top of his lungs, Dorsett led the football and wrestling teams in cheers. "To do your best in sports, I think you need spirit, and I'm not afraid to show my spirit," Dorsett said. Wrestlers added more personality to the year, too, when four of them arrived at school with shaved heads covered with razor· like stubble. "I thought it would be something crazy to do, but I was embar· rassed when everyone kept asking if they could rub it," said Dave Winchester '85. So in 1984, we took an up close look at ourselves, and as we did, we discovered more than facts about AL' s educational pro· cess - we discovered a personal place where more 1020 individ· uals left lasting impressions in each other's memories. 4 Theme SURROUNDED BY HIS BODYGUARDS, Greg Wyant delivers his campaign speech for choir president during fourth hour.

Theme 5 -------- I n a poll of 500 of us, an up-close look revealed that the average student's typical weekday went something like this: After sitting through classes for six hours, he worked for two hours, participated in sports or activities for 50 minutes, and spent 2 hours and 10 minutes doing homework. To recouperate from these hectic 10 hours, she spent 2 hours and 10 minutes transfixed in front of the TV, 1 hour and 1 O 'minutes on the telephone, 50 minutes in conversation with family members, and 7 hours and 5 minutes catching zzz's. Nearly inhaling his food, he crammed two or three meals (half the students didn't eat breakfast) into 55 minutes. While accomplishing most of the above during 22 hours and 50 minutes, she also listened to tunes for three hours. But not many of us fit the mold of the typical student. After a full day of classes, Jeff Kraft '85, spent another four hours at school. "Between wrestling and swing choir, I feel like AL is my home away from home," Kraft said. Also devoted to school, Cathy Holcomb '85, hovered over the books three hours each night. "I spend a lot of time on home· work, but I don't mind because I place much value on putting out my best effort," Holcomb said. Lisa Claussen '84, worked hard waitressing at Truck Haven eight hours nightly. "I don't mind working because the money comes in handy," Claussen said. But Tim Gilman '84, would have never been able to handle a tough schedule like that. After all, nine hours of sleep seemed essential to him. "I try to go to bed by 9 p.m., but I admire these people that get only six hours of sleep," Gilman said. A poll could reveal the typical student's lifestyle, but each of us decided personal priorities to create a lifestyle uniquely our own. 6 Student Life Division WITH ENCOURAGEMENT from t he crowd, Coach Bill Emsick takes his turn with the sledge ha mmer a t the Homecoming car bash.

Student Life Division 7 To wish upo8: a onderful weekend Y our English essay came back with a sea of red on it, you bombed your math test, you got into a fight with your psychology teacher, your locker wouldn't shut, and you were wondering if the week would ever end. All you could think about was Friday night. Even when you had no big plans, weekends were a precious break from the same old grind of school. "l need my weekends as a time to cool off from the tensions 1 face at school, " said Brad White '86. Many students thought of the weekends as treasured catchup time, especially for extra · shut-eye. "l look forward to weekends as a great time to lie in bed and snooze until noon, instead of getting up at 6 a.m. every morn- "If I didn't have weekends to take a break from school and enjoy free time, I'd go nuts!" - Karen Olson '85. ing for school," said Carter Larson '86. Most of all, people looked forward to weekends as a time for special plans. Movies, get-togethers with friends, dates, and shopping were several favor· ites. Weekends were so special, in fact, that some students spent many hours Monday through Friday dreaming about them. Libby Campbell '86, said she often dreamed up this pleasing scenario: "My parents go out of town, and 1 have a huge party. Everything goes perfectly, and to top if all off, my parents nevGO DIRECTLY TO JAIL! Cher y l Martin, Miche lle Ross, a nd Laurel Martin pla y Mono poly o n a Saturday afte rnoo n. er find out. " Surprisingly, 48 of 75 students polled said their actual weekends almost always measure up to their daydreams and fantasies. On the contrary, other students said that to guard against letdowns, they tried not to s pend too much time daydre aming about or planning weekends. " A group of friends and I had planned to go to Omaha to see The Outsiders. We decided to go to Pizza Hut before the movie.

" We spent the whole night looking for each other and never saw the movie. That night was a big mess." Many students said spur-ofthe-moment activities appealed to them most. " l think weekends are better when they are spontaneous because if I've made p lans for my friends and me, and they don 't work out, 1 feel guilty," said Becky Golden '84. Spontaneous or planned, fa - vorite weekend activ ities changed considerably since a poll in the 1983 y earbook . Cruising Broadway and dancing at Buffalo Billy's lost their popularity to more re laxed, friendly activities. While only 7 of 75 polled listed cruising as a favorite , 33 said that going to a friend's house was their favorite.

Who shared your sorrow when your parents told you it was perfectly all right if you went out, as long as you took your little brother with you? Who did you turn to when the party you had planned flopped because only two people showed up? More than likely, it wasn't your mom or dad or even a brother or sister. A friend was the one who came to the rescue by giving advice, lifting spirits, making plans, and driving loneliness away. Listening to and giving advice were major parts of friendships. " I trust and rely on my friends," said Carolyn Gilbert '84. "With every bit of advice they give, I know they 're trying to help. " While some relied on helpful advice, others sought friends in ''Having friends to share with is a necessity. Life without them just wouldn't be the same!" their friendship . " We never have to worry about what we say or do around each other," said Driver. "We're so close it seems like we're sisters! " - Carolyn Andersen '84 But knowing so much about one another and becoming so much alike sometimes made friends prone to argue. times of trouble for encouragement and cheer. " Just being with friends makes me forget my troubles and soothes my nerves, " said Teg Poffenbarger '85. Together, friends planned and nervously anticipated special events. "My friends and I don 't get to spend much time together," said Lori Christiansen '85. "We really enjoyed the time we spent planning what we'd do after the Homecoming Dance." As friends shared disappointments and aggravations as well as special moments, they learned a lot from each other about coping with problems. "Most of the guys I bum around with are older than me, so I learn a lot from the things they've already experienced, " said David Phillips '84. Whether friends were younger, older, or the same age, some students found advantages to having a large group of close friends, while others preferred having one best friend . " It's better having a really close group of friends instead of just one best friend ," said Cathy Morrison '86. "If I had only one, she might not be home when I need to tc..lk, but this way , there's always someone I can call to help me out." On the other hand, Denise Driver '84, said she and her best friend felt an added openness in Typical arguments centered around . things like who would drive where, and what there was to do on Friday night. According to a poll of 75 students, the average argument occurred about once a month and lasted for only 5 to 15 minutes. When students realized there wasn't much to gain from a rguing, they could appreciate the time they shared. As friends got together, they watched TV, did homework , played in the park, discussed their problems, shopped, went to parties, and did anything else anyone could imagine.

Ea· gerly awaiting the next video, Reekers riveted her eyes to the screen, barely aware of her friend 's nagging questions. Invading many once-quiet homes, M·TV soon became a Way of life. "M·TV is almost always on When I'm home," said Reekers. "I love the off·the·wall videos.

''I like the radio better than videos because more is left to your imagination.'' - Kurt Kinney '86 changed." Although M·TV was popular, the favorite way of listening to tunes was still the radio. In stall after stall of the stu· dent parking lot, students start· ed their cars and immediately reached for the radio. At stop· lights, they jammed to the tunes, bobbing their heads and snapping their fingers. "When I'm driving, the peo· pie in my car might laugh at my singing, but if a song comes on that I know, WATCH OUT!" said Denise Shenefelt '84. Of 250 students polled 41 percent said Z·92 was their fa· vorite station. "Z-92 plays rock·n·roll with· out so· much rattling on by the D.J.'s," said Tom Kruse '84. "Z· 92 is the Rock." Some students preferred buying albums or cassettes to relying on D.J.'s to play the hits. "I've spent a fortune on re· cords and tapes, but I can listen to what I want when I want to, " said Tony Kill '84. While some spent $7 to $10 on albums, others spent $12 to $15 on live concerts.

Although 79 percent of stu· dents polled named rock·n·roll as their favorite music , 21 per· cent were split between country and new wave. "I listen to country," said Dee Christensen '84, " and I can't stand it when someone wants to listen to that bee·bop stuff they play on Sweet 98." Of new wave, Helen Poulos '85, said, "It's fun and new. Pea· pie can get crazy and be differ· ent." No matter what kind of mu· sic was their favorite, students agreed that life without rhythm and lyrics would be empty.

''I love vacations because I can do anything I want without worrying about responsibilities.'' - Scott Tangeman '86 girls admitted to sitting in front of the TV set nearly every day of Christmas vacation just to catch up on their soaps. " During Christmas vacation, I usually got up at noon and watched my soaps 'til three, " said Denise Driver '84. ·'Then, I'd start getting ready so I'd finally be able to do something with Tom by 5 o'clock. " Other students enjoyed holi· days because they were times to see brothers and sisters who were at college or living far away. "Since my brother and I don't get to see each other very often, we try to spend as much time together as we can when he comes home from college," .. said Carrie Rois '84. " We go to a lot of movies and spend a lot of time just talking. " While many students were content to watch soaps and spend time with their families, others were anxious to venture away from Council Bluffs. One student spent 24 days visiting friends in Ecuador over Christmas vacation. "Most of the time, we went roaming around the mountains and swimming in the ocean, " said Vickie Ellis '85. "We also went shopping quite a bit be· cause they have a lot of neat shops down there." Other students chose to spe nd their spring break on the slopes in Colorado. 14 Student Life - Necessities "We went skiing at Winter Park for five days, and we had a great time," said Susie Clinton '84. "It was the first time I'd skied, so I spent a lot of time learning how, but once I got the hang of it, I loved it! " Even holidays that didn't en· able students to miss school were important to many. On Valentine's Day, bouquets of flowers arrived at school for some girls, while special friends exchanged cards and gifts. Whether students watched soaps, took a trip, saw family members who weren 't always close by, or just got away from school pressure, students trea· sured holidays as boosters of spirit that would last the whole year through.

Holidays, Vacations 15 Parents= They're ositively precious You stomped up your front steps, slammed the door with a sickening thud, and threw your books on the floor. You absolutely had to talk to someone about that day, that horrible, awful, rotten day. What you needed were people who could offer advice because they had been through it all themselves. Right there, to fill that need were your parents. Contrary to all the talk about the generation gap, most students found their parents to be truly essential aspects of a teenager's life. In a poll of 100 students, 85 said they enjoyed their parents' company. "Both my mom and dad are my good friends, " said Kim Stahlnecker '85. Of those polled, 60 said they spent one to three hours with ''I can talk to my mom because she's been there and knows what I'm going through." Becky Golden '84 their parents on an average weekday, during which time favorite activities included talking and playing sports. " Once my family and I went to Desoto Bend. We got away from all the pressures of school and work and just had fun," said Kim Brunow '85. " We found it much easier to talk there. It was a really special time." Although students enjoyed such happy times, misfortune someti!T1eS drew them even closer to their parents. "My dad is in the hospital for heart surgery. It has definitely brought my mom and me closer together," said Kris Lippke '86. "We've given each other the support needed to get through this time." In the case of Norman Johnson '85, his father's layoff from work brought them closer. "My dad's been around more. He helps me with my homework and other things be never used to have time for," Johnson said. Out of 100 polled, 80 students said they found it easy to talk to their parents about personal problems. "There's nothing I can't tell my mom," said Melanie Anderson '85. "She gives me advice without shoving it on me." But no matter how strong the communication, most students admitted that occasional discip lining was a vital part of the parent-child relationship. " It wasn't planned, but I had a party one night while babysitting," said Melanie Stingley '86. " It got noisy, and since the people I babysit for live near me, my parents heard it. I was grounded forever!" Yet many students said they were glad to have someone setting limits. " My parents make me come home at a certain time because they care about me," said Laurie Koontz '84. Instead of a generation gap, families at AL seemed to be building generation bridges. " They're always there to dump my problems on," said Kathryn Hagen '84. " I think I'd be in the mental ward if I didn't have my parents." "IT'S NOT VERY OFTEN that my whole family eats together, so it's really special when we do," said Robin Smith.

A poll of 150 students showed that over 95 percent had experienced compulsive overeating. Boredom proved to be the most common reason for parking out." "It never fails, every time I find myself with nothing to do, I get the food and munch down," said Mike Rollings '86. Besides eating when there wasn't anything else to do, students gorged when depressed, nervous, and tired. "When I get off work late on a school night, I'm too wound-up to go to sleep," said Ann Perry '85. " A cup of hot chocolate and cookies in a warm bed while I read is a great way to calm my nerves." After-school refrigerator raids and T.V. pork-outs were popular too. " I am absolutely ravenous after school. As soon as I get home, I'm feasting on ham and turkey cold cuts and fresh vegetables," said Mindy Mowery '84. " I also find Cheetos and Doritos irresistible when I'm in the mood for junk food." Binging also came as a result of poor meal habits. Only 6 percent of those polled said they ate at lease three nutritious meals a day. ' 'I'm in such a rush in the morning that I never have time to eat breakfast. I usually grab a candy bar and some pop during my study hall to hold me over until lunch,'' said Patty Sturm '84. Fast-food restaurants also didn't go unnoticed as students spent an average of $5 a week to satisfy their craving for the fast food fix . Over 50 percent of those polled said their favorite meal included a burger., fries, and pop at Burger King. Whether it was grabbing a quick bite at a fast-food restaurant, m unching a candy bar during study hall, or just porkin' down after school, students agreed that eating was a habit they loved. From feast to famine for fat phobics "A fter failing numerous at· Jl tempts at weight loss, I considered having my teeth wired togeth· er to keep me from eating!" said Carolyn Andersen '84. Whether to impress that special someone, fit into revealing swim suits and fashions, or just keep in shape, 120 out of 150 students said they had tried to diet at one time or another. Some students lost weight following a sensible diet and exercise program, while the majority often went to extrem es to shed unwanted pounds. "Skipping meals for days at a time, running endless laps in plast ic sweats, and sitting in a 150 degree sauna all helped me lose the 25 pounds I needed to make weight for wrestling," said Tim Coppock '85. Another way some dieters lost unwanted pounds was by banning all but the lowest calorie food from their diets. " I was just plain fed up with being fat," said Laura Laubenthal '86. " I went on a diet that consisted mainly of lettuce, carrots, and diet pop and lost 20 pounds in four months." Though they lost pounds through a variety of diets, almost all crash dieters ad· mitted that they eventually gained back their unwanted weight. " I lost 24 pounds in three weeks by starv· ing myself almost to the point or becoming anorexic," said Pam Larsen '84. " A fter gaining back 15 pounds in two weeks, I realized that you can't keep weight off permanently by crash dieting and t hat successful weight loss involves a sensible diet plan." Eating/Dieting 19 Punching in and missing out " ) love working and being involved. I would choose working any time over sitting home doing nothing," said Joni Powers '85. After a day of school, extracurricular ac· tivities, studies, and work, many students felt proud of all they accomplished. Some said they took better care of things they bought because they had worked so hard for their possessions. " When I buy my own shoes, they last all year, but when my parents do, they seem to wear out faster," said Penny Bostinelos '85. Students also held jobs to prepare for the future. " My job as a fashion consultant at Seifert's provides me with the experience I need for a career," said Susie Clinton '84. A poll of 130 students showed that 57 percent held jobs during the school year, with most working 10 to 20 hours per week. Favorite employers included Burger King, HyVee, and Sutherlands because they paid well and provided the chance for promotion. Despite a job's benefits, big sacrifices were part of working. Missing an important event or that special date were typical hard· ships. "I hate it when I work Fridays from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. because I never get to go to football games," said Donna Neal '85. Almost all workers found themselves struggling with hectic schedules. " I have to rush from school to work, and I don't get home until 10:30 p.m.," said Charris Ocken '85. " I stay up lots of nights until 2 a.m . doing homework." Although there seemed to be many diffi· cul ties managing a job in addition to school activities, most workers felt their jobs pro· vided them with a chance to do something worthwhile. Into things but out of cash "I . have my whole hfe to work, and now I want to concentrate on school as well as giving my all in sports," said Scott Schmoker '85. In a poll of 130 students, 56 said a job would hurt their school work or conflict with extracurricular activities. " I need all the time I can get during wres· tling to get my weight off, and then I need to rest, " said Tom Kruse '84. Some had learned from experience that school involvement and working could be too much. " I had to quit working because I got too many hours," said Krista White '84, " and I knew it wouldn't be easy to get days off when tennis season started." But those who once had jobs and gave them up found it hard to.{lo back to a more frugal lifestyle. " When I worked, I could buy clothes plus save for college," said Peg· gy Button '84. "Now I shop for bargains, and I try hard for scholarships." Ironically, those students too involved to 20 Student Life - Lifestyles work often were most in need of the money a job would provide. "I spend so much on shoes alone," said Julie Royer '85. "I need separate ones for all the sports, swing choir, and for school." Some non-working students felt lucky to have parents who were willing to pay for their expenses. " My parents encourage me not to work during the school year," said Stephanie Gray '85. " They give me money to get by while I'm concentrating on school, sports, and music." Other parents limited allowance, forcing their kids to sacrifice extravagant week· ends for quiet nights at home or to drive the family car instead of one of their own . " I have to drive our family 'beast' station wagon, and I hate it because it is so big and ugly," said Andy Miller '85.

T-shirts made up a large part of many students' wardrobes. Boasting everything from rock groups and animals to favorite sports teams, t·shirts displayed students' tastes and interests.

In basic grey, pastels, or brights, they had anything from Chinese symbols to ducks printed on the front. " Sweatshirts in the newer styles are com· fortable without being sloppy," said Kelly Groce '85. Casual students favored tennis shoes, and updated the old look with velcro fasten· ers and tri·color hightops. Vans, the check· ered or printed canvas shoes from Califor· nia, decorated the feet of other girls and guys. Jeans, those versatile, comfortable fa· vorites, were still worn with anything and came in a greater variety of colors and stripes than ever before. Dressed to kill and knockin' em dead "D ressing up helps me stand out from the crowd," said Delmas Hose '85. Cords , sweaters, and sometimes even a suit or sport jacket made up a large part of Hose's wardrobe. Forty-five out of 100 students surveyed said they often chose dressy clothes to make sure they looked their best. The dress-up look in guys' clothes con· sisted mainly of crew neck sweaters, ox· ford shirts and Levi's, with dress pants pro· viding an occasional change of pace. " I like these styles because you can be comfortable in them, but you don't look like a slob," said Eric Conrad '84.

"I love the look and feel of angora," said Lisa Jordan '85, "especially the pastel col· ors. They're so soft and pretty!" Although many girls loved to wear dress· es, they found that temperature extremes in fall and winter made them impractical for school, so they were saved for dates and special occasions such as dances. Dressing Down/Dressing Up 23 wo's ompany. A pair is peachy for most anything " I enjoy dating and think it's important because it's a nice way to get to know people and spend time with a guy I like," said Tammy Wilson '84. One hundred twenty-two out of 200 students polled said that dating was somewhere between moderately and very important in their lives. "I want dating to be a big part of life now. It lets me know what kind of guy I get along with," said Marianne Priebe '84. Although boys still did most of the asking, some of the students felt that girls should help guys out at times by bearing some of the stress. · "The girl should ask the guy out sometimes because it gets to be a mental strain on the guy if he has to do all of the asking and risk being turned down all the time," said Scott Moore '86. Some girls helped not only with asking, but also with paying for dates. Twentyeight of 50 students polled agreed that girls should help out financially. " My date and I usually go to the Red Lobster when we share the cost. I like it better that way," said Shelly Kisby '86. Most dates consisted of parties, football games, movies, and walks through the Central Park Mall, but some students preferred something a little more unusual. Lynette Rutledge '84, remembered her first date with her boyfriend. They went to an Omaha park, played on swings, and chased ducks during the rain. " I enjoyed it more than I thought I would, considering it was a blind date," she said. Whether students decided on a movie and a pizza or something out of the ordinary, most thought of dating as very important. Hat dates an the back burner " s ometimes it's really depressing when my friends are out on a date and I'm left at home," said Dionne Wallace '86. On a typical Saturday night, ·many students sat home glued to the tube, surrounded by brothers, sisters, and parents. A poll of 200 students showed lots of reasons for not dating. Many sophomores and others who hadn't yet obtained drivers' licenses didn't relish the idea of having a parent chauffeuring them on a date. "I'd just as soon wait to date as have my mom sit in the back seat," said Darrin Jackson '86. Other guys said they weren't dating because they had to work or couldn't afford treating a date to a night on the town. "With the $90 a week that I make, it gets a little bit expensive spending around $10 for a movie and popcorn and another $10 for dinner," said Mike rrym n '85. Thirty out of approximately 100 girls 24 Student Life - Lifestyles polled revealed that they would have liked to date but sometimes spent time at home because they weren't asked out. "When I realize I'm going to have to stay home on a weekend, first I usually get depressed, but it turns out okay because I • have time to myself and get things done," said Robin Smith '85. One-fourth of those polled simply rated dating less important than other activities, saying it would come around soon enough ~ and they preferred not to rush it. For these students, a dateless Friday or Saturday night wasn't so bad. In fact, they said they preferred cruising Broadway with friends and congregating in Burger King's parking Jot. " I would rather go out with a group than a date because it's more exciting," said Karen Myers '84. "I CAN'T STAND IT when you laugh at me!"

As a member of the Homecoming decoration committee, Schoeppner kept busy weeks in advance, ordering leis, buying decorations, and planning for the dance. "A few of us were working hard decorating the gym, but things didn't seem to be getting done. Diane really he,lped get everything organized. She found the problems and fixed them," said Stephanie Gray '85. Last minute details took up five hours of Schoeppner's time on the day of the dance as she constructed a Hawaiian Island, blew up 50 balloons, and hung flashy streamers.

"I thought Homecoming dance was fantastic! I stopped dancing only to catch my breath! " said Criss Krabbe '86. Almost everyone agreed that the dance was one of the few bright spots in a dreary Homecoming week. Spirits also soared earlier in the week at the car rally and car bash. Standing on the hood of the dilapitated blue car, varsity football coach Bill Emsick fired up the crowd. "Who are we?" he shouted. "AL!" the filled parking lot echoed. "Who are we gonna kill?" " North! " Everyone took their turn at the sledgehammer, includ· ing Summer Erlandson '84, who alone spent $5 in quarter hits, and the football players, who together rolled the car and continued the destruction. Despite Homecoming's spirited beginning at the car bash and enthusiastic end at the dance, the days in be· tween proved downers for most. Students complained that a pep assembly hadn't been planned, griped about having the same dull spirit days year after year, and grum· bled because the year's most important football game was scheduled for a Thursday. To counter students' complaints, student council tried a bold attempt at something new, but even that failed. Despite lots of publicity, including senior Mike Wright's appearances in the student lounge dressed in a grass skirt, the luau the council had planned to precede the dance had to be cancelled because only eight tickets were sold. "Everyone was really disappointed because the luau was cancelled. We really worked hard planning and pro· meting it," said Paul Allen '85. An even bigger disappointment was the 0·21 loss to North, after a Nonpareil prediction of a Lynx victory by 23 points. The only event of the evening that truly brought fans to their feet was the crowning of Wendy Cox '84 as Homecoming queen. Although the magic that gave students strength to bash in a car and to dance a ll night eluded their grasp the rest of Homecoming week, most would cherish the memories of the dance and car rally for a long time to come.

STARTING A NEW TRADITION as the first Christmas prince, Mike Wright - - presents Denise Driver, the first Christmas princess, with a bouquet of red carnations just after the announcement of their names as royalty. A lgebra problems and literature worksheets faded from your mind as romantic music and candle lit dinners began to take over your every thought. You were sure that with the theme " An Old Fashioned Christmas," this dance would be full of romance. The floor would be overflowing with intertwined couples slow· ly swaying to Journey's " Open Arms." But when your date escorted you through the archway of shimmery red, white, and silver balloons, to your amazement, you saw couples crowding around for a bet· ter view of Michael Jackson's video Thriller. Despite the old fashioned theme, the Foreign Exchange Club decided to make the dance unique and contemporary. Members hired the J.O. Video Show because of the recent video craze, but the reaction was not as pleasing as they had hoped. " Videos were a great idea, but they would ha"-e been much more appropriate at Homecoming," said Jolene Schwarzkopf '85. "The fast music took a lot of the ro· mance out of the evening." Another major change was the addition of a Christmas prince and princess and their court. " Being on the court was really special for me. It gave me something to look forward to, and it made the dance more memorable," said Ronda Bargenquast '84. Although club members spent 11 hours blowing up 1296 balloons and streaming.14,000 yards of crepe paper, their hard work was overshadowed by uncontrollable problems. Because the fieldhouse had to be prepared for a wres· tling tournament the next morning, the dance was held in the cafeteria , a location less than pleasing to students. " It was too dark in the cafeteria, and there wasn't room to move around," said Jenny Bowlds '84. Club members also decided to hire a less expensive photographer, but most couples spent over an hour wait· ing in line. "My date and I were in line so long that we only got to dance five dance.s. The camera broke, and we had to wait for them to fix it," said Kurt Kay '86. But despite a few disappointments, must students real· ized the Foreign Exchange Club had put a lot of effort into making the dance a unique experience.

Dance planning began in September as m embers decided on the them e and decora· tions. Bostwick alone contacted the photogra· pher, picked out the Christmas trees, and bought all t he red, white, and silver decora· tions. On the day of the dance, she spent ten and a half hours streaming crepe paper and blowing up balloons. " Julie put everything together.

That's what it was for the cast of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat when members set out to produce the school musi· cal Nov. 17-19. How would an audience react to a musical with almost no spoken lines. Could a cast of 25, compared to more than 40 in past musicals, perform a production with 27 parts and numerous background roles? How would the public respond to the first dinner theater at AL? Could the Home Economics Club provide a meal for 80 people and still get costumes prepared? Those were just a few uncertainties that lingered in the thoughts of cast members as rehearsals began. Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, a newly released Broadway musical containing no spoken lines, featured every kind of music from vaudeville to rock. " It's a style that hasn't been seen enough in this are?," said Anthony Deal '84. "We took a chance, considering the cast's size and experience." Because extensive movement on stage required that the cast be limited to 25, all cast members, half of whom had no high school acting experience, had to learn at least two parts. "It's not easy to change characters quickly, especially when you have to be an adoring girl one minute and a camel the next," said Kim Holly '86. To make matters worse, rehearsals started slowly. "We had some trying practices, like when two of the guys had a water fight," said Renee Rocheleau '86. " It's easy to break concentration when you're working with friends. We had to learn to settle down and work to make the production a success.' ' For the first time in AL history, not only the reputation of the cast was on the line. The Home Economics Club was a major part of the production. " I spent at least 30 hours on costumes. I was afraid I'd develop permanent sewer's cramp," said Peggy Mass '84. While some members worked on costumes, others or· ganized a three course meal fo r Saturday's dinner theater. "Even though it was a lot of work , I had fun ," said Angela Jensen '85. " I don 't think people expected it from high school students." Together, the cast and Home Economics Club did it all. The dinner was served, the curtain opened and closed, and the audience rewarded hard work with a standing ovation. " I didn 't know what to expect since there were no spok· en lines, but I really enjoy it," sa id Toni Steward '85. " I was really impressed! " Musical 31 "I like the Mr. Lincoln pageant because it's a spoof and it lets the boys express themselves in a humorous way. It really adds to the tradition and spirit of AL." said Don Scheibeler, English instructor. In the past, Senior Class officers planned the pageant, but due to lack of organization by the officers, most of the responsibilities were put on Junior Class sponsor Don Scheibeler, who organized the two previous pageants as Senior Class sponsor. Scheibeler not only organized the pageant, but also played his traditional role as Mr. Lincoln. " I think it's great that Mr. Scheibeler gets involved with students. He lets the kids do their own thing, and he shows how much he cares," said Carey Gunter '84. 32 Student Life - Moments "HEY BUD, LET'S PARTY!"

Skimpy costumes, sexy routines drive audience wild as 11 guys go all out to be totally . . . - A nticipation gripped the jam-packed auditorium. Hundreds of females glued their eyes to the stage curtain, hoping, but never really believing, that the rumors they had heard would come true in a few seconds. As the curtain rose, the audience erupted with whistles, screams, and catcalls. There they were - just as everyone had heard they would be - 11 senior guys wearing nothing but jockey shorts and unbuttoned shirts strutting their stuff to the tune of " Old Time Rock'n Roll." "I couldn 't believe that the guys were really in their underwear in front of everyone!" said Patty Heubner '86. This sexy routine was only a small part of Mr. Lincoln Pageant craziness as the 11 contestants made the evening one that would be long remembered. Because several of the guys had shopped at .the Salvation Army for their outfits, the hilarity began during the supposed-to-be-serious three-piece suit competition. " We went to the Salvation Army for our costumes be· cause we wanted to look really cheap and corny ," said Troy Backhuus '84. Contestants needed not only imagination but also lots of nerve when creating their costumes. Mild mannered Joe Atkinson '84, for example, rented a playboy bt:mny outfit, complete with ears and a tail, and paraded across the stage in the skimpy outfit. " l knew the other guys were doing crazy things, so 1 figured if they could do it, so could I. I just wanted to have fun," said Atkinson. Some contestants decided to really ham it up during the all new movie star competition. Wearing a woman 's swim· suit, a blond wig, and bright red lipstick, Jeff Hopkins '84, pranced across the stage blowing kisses to the audience in his portrayal of Marilyn Monroe. Other contestants relied on their more masculine side to portray heroic movie stars. Carey Gunter '84, shocked the audience when he swung across the stage on a rope as Tarzan.

Mr. Lincoln Pageant 33 Cast members study Nazi period, strive for emotion, causing even rowdy students to find matinee performance - . . . - W hat happened when a rowdy student audience that usually bombarded performers with pennies and hissed rude remarks was told to shape up or ship out? Because new director Diana Andrade believed the tradition of students misbehaving at matinees might result in physical injury to a performer, students were informed that they would all be sent back to class without refunds if rude behavior should occur at the April 12 matinee of The Dairy of Anne Frank. But instead of goofing off, most students chose to enjoy the play. Some even became so wrapped up in it that they began to cry. " Most of the kids got choked up during the sad parts of the play," said Tammy Jo Borman '86, who played Anne's sister. " I think those who probably would have caused trouble but were calmed by the 'closing curtain' threat eventually got something out of it, too." Cast members agreed that the hardest obstacle they had to overcome was dealing with the serious nature of the play . To understand the serious emotions in the play, they watched movies about Anne Frank and Nazi concentration cam ps. " During our 100 hours of practice, we sometimes had to goof around to relieve some of the tension because the play was so serious," said Hans Larsen '84, who played the father of the Van Daan family ., "But the play went well because we kept up a certain energy throughout." T he energy actors and actresses generated within themselves as they identified with their characters sometimes became so strong that the performers were unable to do exactly as the sc ript instructed. " At the end of the play, when the green police were coming to take us away, everyone was upset," said Peggy Button '84, who played Anne's mother. " Once Tammy Jo started crying, I had to put my hand over her mouth because she cou ldn't stop when she was supposed to." Strong portrayal of such emotions drew students who had seen the matinee back wi. th their families and friends, causing attendance to reach 250 for the two evening performances, higher than any play in several years . Although cast members worked hard to involve the audience emotionall y , they attributed much of their success to the organization and dedication of the crew. "Anne Frank was a joint effort, with the sound and props people and everybody else doing their thing to make it come together," said_ Pam Hansen '84. 34 Student Life-Moments WORKING OVERTIME, Cecilia Roos, who also played Miep, paints the set.

Her date waited in the living room in a white tuxedo with pink bowtie and cummerbund. He held a florist's box in one hand and an umbrella in the other. After posing for a proud mom's pictures, the couple left in the drizzling rain for Prom '84 at the UNO ballroom. The ballroom was a whirl of soft lights, balloons, and pastel colors, the result of many hours of hard work by student council members and volunteers. Using 800 balloons to illustrate the theme "Up Where We Belong" students began decorating early Saturday morning and finished about 1 p.m. "The decorating committee worked really well togeth· er," said Debbie Armstrong '85. "Everyone was really determined to make this the best Prom they could." Long before decorators got busy blowing up balloons and tying ribbons, students began their own preparations. First on the list was finding a date - often a matter of summoning the courage to make that fateful phone call. Others tried dropping hints and then hoping that special person would ask the big question. " I was so nervous it took me three days to get my nerve up to call. I was too late, so I had to go through it all again with another girl," said Mark Johnson '85. Once the date was set, dinner reservations had to be made, dresses bought, tuxes rented , and flowers ordered. Even when everything was decided and the day finally arrived, some anticipated the evening with nervousness. "My fi ngers were shaking so badly, I dropped my date's corsage as I was handing it to her," said one junior boy. Upon their arrival at the ballroom, many couples went through the line to have their picture taken against a background of clouds and balloons. Some danced to music provided by The Group, a five· man band tha t played a variety of music which most students criticized. In fac t, about half the couples danced only when the band took a break and left the stereo on. "The ba nd should have played more current songs. They played a lot of music tha t was neither fast nor slow and was rea ll y hard to dance to," said Tammy Steenbock '84. After·Prom plans included dinner at Omaha restau· rants, bowling, skating, and private parties. Most agreed that their memories would make even the hours of jittery preparation worthwhile. 36 Student Life - Moments NEARLY SMOTHERED WITH BALLOONS, Nancy Sealock decorates t he UNO Ballroom.

Instrumental in planning the 1984 Prom, Voss turned her thoughts from tinsel and holly to rock music and m oney just a few weeks after Christmas. Her first projects were setting up candy and wrapping paper fundraisers which earned $749.43. She was also in charge of the nervewracking job of finding a band.

" The hospital was like my second home when I first began because I wanted one of the dolls that was a reward for 500 hours," Debbie said. " The doll was handmade to resemble me in my uniform ." Since Debbie became a supervisor in 1982, she donated another 500 hours and was presented with her 1000- hour award in March. Ironica lly, Debbie's experience helped her realize she didn ' t want to become a nurse as she had planned. " Candy striping gave me the chance to work around doctors and observe the types of things they do," said Debbie.

She realized that those times were over and that she might never see Andres again. " It was really sad when Andres gave me my good-bye hug. Neither of us could help it - we both broke down and cried, " Tammy said. ing, I skate like there's no tomorrow!

Approaching the office, she couldn 't help noticing the im· po rtan t·looking people who seemed to look her over as she passed. The tension mounted as she sat down to begin her interview for acceptance. Little did she know that in a short tim e she would officially be a student at the school. " I was so happy when I was told I was accepted, especially when they said I had potential," said Maureen. Since enrolling in modeling school, Maureen learned how to apply make·up, sty le her hair, c hoose c lo thing, w al k with poise, and pose for a camera. Maureen was introduced to modeling by her neighbor, Ce· linda M iller, a photographer and former model. Maureen's happiest moment in modeling school came when she learned Blue Jean Cologne Company bought her photo for an ad. " l was surprised when t hey chose m y picture for the ad. I didn't think 1 would get it!" Mau· reen said. Maureen said her father was also surprised. He thought she was too young to model, and he didn't believe her when she told him that she was chosen. Although her father felt her modeling was a passing phase, Maureen said she was serious about continuing her career. " l feel modeling has changed m y life. I am more self-confident than I was," Maureen said. "MODELING SCHOOL HAS PROVED to be a challenge for me. It has s hown me that a model's job is not as easy as it looks," said Maureen Liggett, who flips through a text from modeling school.

Troy devoted most of his time to swing choir, but he was also a member of concert choir, and for the second year in a row, he participated in the AllState Music Festival. All in all, by the middle of his senior year, he had sung in two musicals, As the tiny girl squatted down, tucked her head in, placed her small hands in front of her, ~nd somersaulted for the first time , instructor Kerry Greer '84, watched with satisfaction.

Mike impressed Cairns enough to be chosen to partici· pate in the media satellite pro· g ram , in which he spent 40 hours a week making post· ers and other projects needed at Lewis and Clark Elementary School.

But Tammy Fiala '86, spent several hours each week dedicated to what she be· lieved to be a sport well worth her time and effort. Beginning lessons at the age of 9, she soon advanced to be· co me a member of the Cr ighton Naiads, a synchro· nized swimming team that did routines resembling water bal· let.

" Yet, traveling gave Tammy a rewarding chance to meet many new people, most of whom were unfamiliar with syn· chronized swimming. " Very few people are familiar with the sport. When people come to see us perform for the first time, they just sit there in awe. They can 't believe we can do some of the things we do," Tammy said. " Those are the people who make every thing worthwhile. It makes me feel great knowing that I can do something very few people will ever know how to do."

People Highlights 43 fter teachers spent hundreds of hours taking an up close look at clubs and courses for the NCA study, more than half reported that the 1982 change to the seven-period day was prohibiting students from getting the best education possible. While math instructors complained that with only one free period, they had no time to give students extra help, English teachers charged that their required classes were too large for individual writing instruction. Elective teachers claimed, on the other hand, that their classes were too small because students didn't have time to take elec· tives in a seven-period day filled with requirements. Yet, in quiet, personal ways, many of us made the best of every minute in the day to insure our own and other's involve· ment in as many clubs and classes as possible. Instructor Mick Freeman crawled out of bed each day at 6 a.m. to offer early bird Physics 3-4 to students who couldn't cram the elective into their school day. "It would be better to have it during the day, but it didn't work out for the 10 students who took it," Freeman said. Instructor Peggy Rodriquez stayed an extra hour to teach just one student Russian.

The answer, of course, was the Marching Lynx Band , which, with only 33 members, was just one-sixth the size of an average band in a school the size of AL, according to firstyear band instructor Robert Robuck. Robuck, who previously taugh t at HLV Community Schools in Victor, IA, was hired after Jim M isner requested a transfer following a year-long battle over his unsatisfactory evaluation [n the spring of 1982. With 20 fewer members than last year, band students and Robuck had to adjust to each other while trying to overcome a variety of problems, including decreasing enrollment, which Robuck blamed partially on the seven-period day , adopted in 1982.

With fewer students participating in band, Robuck found it difficult to choose music that the band could perform well. " We couldn't cover all the parts of some music because we didn 't have enough people playing a variety of instruments," said Phil Smith '85. Robuck said , for example, that because the band didn't have many people who played low brass instruments such as the trombone , he couldn ' t choose a piece of music that had any important low brass parts. The band's smaller size also posed a problem at the State Marching Contest. " We were the smallest band there, and our sound projection "After playing the violin since third grade I didn't want to quit, but it would have been a lot more fun if we would have had a full orchestra." - Becky Brown '84 wasn 't as good as it should have been," said Mike Montgomery '84, drum major. But the band overcame its problems at State and scored 69.1 out of 100 points to receive a Division I rating. To get a I rating, 68 points were necessary. " None of the other bands thought we could do it, so they were kind of upset when we were the only Council Bluffs band to get a I. It was great!" Montgomery said. Several students said that Robuck's tougher style of teaching was part of the reason they overcame their problems and received the I rating at State. " Because we couldn't really strive for a big, full sound, we worked hard to perfect our intonation, tone quality, and marching techniques ," said Peggy Button '84. " Mr. Robuck paid a lot of attention to musical notation such as dynamics and stress marks, and when we sight read, he watched every single marking." Students also said that when they practiced marching techniques , they sometimes marched up and down the field for hours until they were all in step. '' Mr. Robuck worked us pretty hard, and some seniors who weren 't used to knuckling down got turned ' off, so they dropped," said Robert Gilson ' 84 . " But those of us who stayed really appreciated all the hard work he made us do because we performed a lot better." Students who played the trumpet also appreciated the times that Robuck played with them in pep band at basketball games. Robuck said that although he enjoyed playing the trumpet, he had another motive. " I was hoping that if I played and they heard the right notes, they would start to imitate my sound, and they did," he said . (continued on page 48) CONCERT BAND.

Robuck said that he made this decision because it is more contemporary to have just the flag and rifle teams march. Like the band, the rifle team had to cope with a decreasing number of participants.

Activities included scavenger hunting, eating lunch, and learning to improve communication . The day ended with each student filling out validation certificates for other choir members.

To help students at contest, Andrade aided them in choosing parts that best suited their abilities.

" I was surprised when I saw my story printed," said Lau· benthal. " Having your name on a published work is special." At a luncheon May 17, six· teen published authors from AL received trophies for " Excel· lence in Creative Writing." Such recognition was one way the English department and Harmon Tucker, district consultant for communication skills, tried to create more inter· est in English and stress the im· portance of communication skills as preparation for college. " We hope this will provide an outlet for creative writers so they aren ' t just writing for teachers," said Tucker. Another change the English department made was to devel· op a detailed sequential curricu· lum for grades 7· 12 and dis· trictwide tests over each year's material. 56 Clubs, Courses However, the new curricu· lum proved to be too extensive, leaving teachers with much more material than could be covered. "The test was fine to see where we stood in the city, but it covered more than we had studied and didn't measure what we had learned," said Ter· ry Petersen '85. " The new curriculum is pro· gressive, as one year of know!· edge builds on the next,'' Tucker said. "Hopefa.11ly, the caliber of expertise will im· prove, but it will be a while be· fore we see results."

Therefore, they devised ere· ative activities to reinforce stu· dents' knowledge of the Ian· guages. Playing games such as Ger· man Scrabble and French Mo· nopoly helped with vocabulary, while corresponding with Ger· man cities' travel agencies helped students apply language and learn about culture. Foreign language clubs also provided ways to expand knowledge of languages. The Spanish Club traveled to Drake University in Des Moines, where members saw a film on bull-fighting and learned of Drake's Spanish courses. " Spanish students from Drake served dinner, and if we said anything in English, they pretended they couldn't hear," "MY TOPIC IS . . . " Ed Formanek pre sents his res earch paper on Bob Dylan to his English 5-6 class. said Terry Osborne '85. The group also attended a Spanish play, El Pequeno Bein· abe, and ate at Mexican restau· rants. "The play was all in Spanish, and I had to concentrate on the words, but I could understand what was going on," said Jill Pechacek '86. German Club members got a taste of German recreation by playing in a Muhle tournament. Muhle, a strategic game, is a mixture of checkers, tic·tac·toe, and backgammon. " I learned how to play Muhle just by playing in class, " said Glen Meyer '85, who won the first place trophy and $10. Both English and Foreign Ian· guage teachers were sold on the idea of preparing the students for college. Giving special rec· ognition to writers, developing a tougher curriculum, and trying to reinforce language know!· edge were just a few steps they took to accomplish the goal.

Speech ·and debate members contrived the speech·a·grams to help relieve their financial trou· bles. The messages also gave team members the chance to share their creativity with the rest of the student body. "We got really sick of selling candy, and we didn't make that much money," said Jayne Nelson '84. "We had to make enough to pay for our trophies, so we thought of the speech-a· grams. We made all the plans in about a week and a half." Money wasn't the only prob· lem speech and debate students encountered. First, they had to deal with Coach Marsha Grandick's eightweek maternity leave. " It's been really hard to get into the topic. The substitute knew little about debate, so we were on our own," said Ander· son. Debaters still managed to maintain a winning season , though, and speech members conquered difficulties to become one of Al's best teams.

Tournaments provided more than competition, though. They had their exciting and humorous sides, too. " Once when we went to a tournament in Iowa City, it snowed about nine inches," said Ronnfeldt. " There we were, all of us dressed up, and our van kept getting stuck in the high school's parking lot. Finally, after a lot of pushing, we got back to the hotel."

These words can be overused cliches, but many newspaper and yearbook staffers learned the hard way their real meaning. Photographers learned of commitment as they shot more than 12,000 pictures to get the 695 that the staffs actually used. Senior yearbook editors learned of dedication as they worked in Room 224 fourteen days and nights after gradu· ation to meet the final deadline. Newspaper editors were driv· en to spend 15 hours each issue pasting down, tearing up, and repasting copy until every line was straight. " Overall the work accomplished was excellent, " said adv iser Linda Smoley. " Who could complain about the more than 80 awards they won and the news staff being named the best writers in the state for the third year? " But getting there was pure agony - more painful than any of us had imagined. Somehow, with the staff's talent and editors' top-notch ideas, we ex· pected everything to be smooth sa iling. But the fact is that if anything could go sour, it did ." After attending a summer workshop and gathering sever· al times to ladder the book and divide the year's work , editors anxiously awaited school's beginning. " It was fun then - fun be· cause we were getting things organized, but not realizing how much work would eventually go into the book," said Laura Leibel '84. But problems mounted as the staff took almost an entire se· mester to finish the color sec· tion and as 17 out of 22 staffers eventually found it necessary to take part-time jobs. "I had problems because I worked almost every night other than Monday yearbook nights, and I needed more time outside of school to interview "CONGRATULATIONS, MIKE!"

Inexperienced photographers also encountered more prob· lems than anticipated, and the staff learned patience wh ile constantl y out-of-focus or grainy pictures were retaken. ''When we were behind after the color deadline and nothing we did seemed to turn out, we really got into a depressing slump," said Steve Miller '85. The newspaper staff also had to face more problems than editors expected. Staff membership started at 19, but as staffers took jobs and found story assignments hard to complete, the number dwindled to 14.

But a few high points seemed to keep the staffs going. Contests sponsored by local universities and Iowa High School Press Association netted journalists more individual awards than ever, and for the third straight year, the newspaper staff captured the state writing sweepstakes. A call from New York let yearbook staffers know that the 1983 book had won another Gold Crown A ward, making it one of the top nine books in the country. Called upon to help the newspaper staff, several students enrolled in Journalism 1-2 also won awards for published articles. 'Tm really glad I got to write for the paper as a sophomore because I learned so much about working with people ," said Renee Rocheleau '86. "I also felt great when my stories won awards." Through it all, staffers agreed that the good times and special rewards were enough to keep them coming back for more. PRECISE AND EXACT.

" This quilt has taken a lot of work because all of the squares are separate, but when I finish it, I know I will have accomplished something to be proud of," Reed said. Students who wanted more time to develop their practical skills joined the Home Economics or Electronics Club. " I like Electronics Club because it gives me extra time to work on getting my ham radio license. When I get my license, I will be able to talk to people all around the world," said Glen Meyer '85.

"None of us did that well, but we tried our hardest," said Shel· lie McGlade '85. "We had a lot of fun, and it was a good learn· ing experience, too." Trades and Industry, Food Service, and Office Education also served students as cooper· ative programs between the school and business communi· ty.

"Mrs. Byrnes kept talking about crashing your disk, and I envisioned my disk breaking into a thousand pieces," said Stephanie Gilmore '85. " In reali· ty, crashing your disk means losing a small part of its memory." More and more students were becoming familiar with comput· er lingo, as the machines that seem ed to have minds were used increasingly in math, busi· ness, and science. A highlight of the basic com· puter math class was a graph· ics unit in which students ere· ated pic tures on the screen. ath, Business, and Science Shrieks of excitement filled the room as Julie Bostwick '84, finalized her program after 14 hours of work.

Boyd's first semester enroll· ment, for example, was down two-thirds from first semester of 1983. " I have students who would like to major in art but can't fit the class into their schedule," Boyd said. Media enrollment, on the oth· er hand, had steadily increased over the past several years, ac· c ording to instructor John Cairns, partly because media students talked to their friends about the opportunities in the class. " I decided to take media be· cause I knew how much my brother enjoyed it," said Mi· chelle Schlott '85. In all , 85 media students served the entire district of schools, including AL. Beginning media students helped those in the satellite pro· gram complete projects from bulletin boards to videotapes. Paid $3.20 an hour and work· ing up to 25 hours a week, satel· lites were especially talented senior students who traveled to area schools and worked with teachers there. "The satellite program gives you experience in dealing with all kinds of people while helping your community," said Sum· mer Erlandson '84. In all, beginning media and "Art classes- have shown me new ways to look at everyday things, and how to produce projects that express my ideas and my personality.'' - David Merryman '86 satellite students completed 75,000 projects for the year, ac· cording to Cairns. Even though art enrollment had slipped, both teachers said that talent in their classes was outstanding. The sophomore drawing stu· dents were especially creative, according to Boyd. 'Tm really proud of my self· portrait," said Denise Moats '86. " I think it looks almost real. " In advanced art, students worked on individual projects in various mediums such as wa· tercolor and airbrush. Some en· joyed the airbrush so much that they bought one of their own for personal use. Lynette Rutledge '84, even sold one of her air· brush paintings of a horse to a faculty member. "I felt very proud to think that someone saw somethina they liked in my art. It made me want to do something better," said Rutledge. Graphics and Commercial Arts class covered silkscreen and printmaking as well as lo· gos, concentrating on how to sell a product. "I made an advertisement for Jack Daniels," said Tenna Ta· mayo '84. " It was fun because I got to decide the best way to make it sell." Ceramics students also con· centrated on practical projects, such as sets of mugs or plates. Handbuilding and wheel throw· ing were basics taught to begin· ners and advanced students did more difficult projects such as original sculpture and unique pots and plaques. Andrea Sasso '84, combined clay and fabric to make a doll. " I used my own ideas for this project after I saw a drawing in a magazine and became anxious to see if I could do it on a larger scale," said Sasso. " I was really pleased with the results." In general, students said art helped them see the beauty in everyday things. MEDIA SATELLITES. FRONT ROW: Mike ROW: Steve Young, Summer Erlandson, Kurt Smith. Jenny Bowlds, Mike Schlott, BACK Gahm.

After it was announced that the AL sophomores had won fourth place, the JV girls ner· vously glanced at one another and clenched their sweaty palms even more tightly as third and second place winners were announced. The girls held their breath while the announc· er screamed, " Our first place trophy goes to the outstanding JV squad from . . . Abraham Lincoln High School!" The whole squad became ec· static," said Helen Poulos '85. "We worked so hard all week for perfection, and it paid off!" The entire porn pon squad also attended a summer camp.

Spirits began to fade as the football season got underway with losses to Lewis Central and Millard North. Unlike the pre· vious year, the football stands were never filled to capacity with enthusiastic fans. " Beside the fact that our foot· ball team wasn't off to a win· ning start, the hot and muggy weather during September was so depressing that people were just not as energetic at school or at games," said Shelly Welch '84. Porn pan girls were also let down when they found out that they would not be marching with the band as in previous years because new band direc· tor Robert Robuck said it was out of style for porn pan squads to march with bands. Another let down was the lack of money squads earned through fundraising. Cheerleading and porn pan squad members spent hun· dreds of hours baking goodies, washing cars, selling candy, teaching dance routines and cheers, and taking plunges into ice·cold dunking booths to raise money for uniforms and camp. Despite their efforts, the pan porn squad raised only $600. When divided up, this amount· ed to a mere $30 per girl, only a small chunk out of the $250 needed to cover the cost of new uniforms and camp. continued on p. 72 FALL CHEERLEADERS FRONT ROW: Helen Pouloo, Charrlo Ocken, Arny Stogdlll, Denloe Driver, Shelly Welch, Ste ele Hawkes, BUiie Pou· 101.

" It was hard getting the majority of people to participate in fundraisers because jobs took up so much of everyone's time," said Amy Stogdill '84. Still more problems arose as the hectic basketball season got underway and squad members, many of whom worked or participated in several other activities, became mu'ch more pressed for time. "There were times when we had to perform for two or three games a week," said Pam Larson '85. "We often resorted to repeating dances because we were unable to adequately prepare them in the time we had." But other members believed that better organiza tion and more constructive use of practice time would have enabled members to perfect routines, even with their busy schedules. " Learning several dances a week proved to be quite a task, especiall y since a number of girls lacked the self-discipline and dedication to arrive at practice on time, and then they goofed a round while a dance was being taught," said Debbie Brown '86.

Pep club was also short on numbers. "With only 12 members, it takes the cooperation of the whole group to get anything accomplished ," said LeAnn Shanno '84. "Our main problem was finding a time when everyone could get together for a meeting to plan activities.''

'Tm happy that we helped one family, but it's discourag· ing that this big student body couldn't contribute more," said Debbie Armstrong '85.

"Besides normal ushering for performances, we got to greet people from other schools and display AL in a positive way," said Donna Dettman '84. The Foreign Exchange Club helped students learn about the world community. With the $1200 that the club earned from Christmas Dance and a cookie sale, it paid part of the expenses for Michelle Miller '86, to explore France the next year. "I could have gone to France anyway , but it is special to know that I'm supported by such a neat club," said Miller. Unlike other service clubs, Key Club membership waned, and the group carried out only one activity, a recruiting party. "It was disappointing to be in a group with potential, but held back by having only four mem· bers," said Hans Larsen '84. Through guest speakers such as marines, attorneys, vet· erans, and politicians, social studies courses also linked stu· dents with the community. Because it was an election year, politicians were the most popular speakers .

By the end of their fifth semester of high school, two seniors had achieved a perfect 4.0 grade point average, and eight others had G.P.A.'s above 3.9. Those who achieved a rank in the top ten were Leu, Julie Johnson, Peggy Button, Tami Neff, Greg Wyant, Amy Petersen, Jill Myers, Laura Leibel, Krista White, and Scott Hale. Like Leu, the majority of these high achievers said they accomplished what they did purely out of de· sire to do their best. "I would feel so guilty if I hadn't completed an assignment for class," Myers said. "If I'm too tired at night to finish my assignment, 1 get up early the next morning to get it done." Aiming to please parents was an added incentive to some of these seniors. " l wasn't pressured from my parents to get good grades," Leibel said. " l just wanted to show them that I could accomplish something on my own that would make them proud. " Better preparation for college was another reason for struggling to keep grades high. "The classes I took were geared towards college work , and I'm confident they will help me with the university curriculum next fall ," White said. The ways these students achieved such grades were as varied as the reasons they did so, with three different types of study habits emerging. First, there was the student who always made the extra effort to complete homework assignments. "There have been nights when I'd much rather RECOGNITION GALORE.

PILES OF ASSIGNMENTS head home with Amy Petersen. 76 Special Feature have been watching TV, but I finished my home· work instead, " Petersen said. "I think that my study habits will pay off during the next four years.'' Other students didn't spend much time on daily homework but ended up cramming before a big test or important assignment. " I used to always get assigments done, but I be· gan to do less when I realized most problems would be worked on the board anyway," Johnson said. "To understand material, 1 usually spent several hours on a cram session before a test." Finally, there was the student who was able to pull off that A without making much effort at all. " Although 1 was involved in advanced math and science courses, 1 was able to get A's without sacri· ficing time outside school," Wyant said. One student who wished to remain anonymous said he started out as a sophomore working hard for A's, but as a junior realized that he could get the same reward by doing just enough to get by. Teachers weren't really surprised by such atfr tudes. " l don't think there are many students sho find studying pleasurable, and they won't exercise their brain if they don 't have to," said Cheryl Schmidt. "It's sad when an intelligent student real· izes he can succeed without pushing himself." Regardless of the effort these top students put out, they were well paid for their A's. Button, Leu, and Wyant received full tuition four· year scholarships at the universities they planned to attend in the fall. Johnson totaled over $4500 in scholarships, Hale $4300, and Myers $1300.

" If anybody is even thinking about quitting, get out right now - there's the door!" ordered yearbook adviser Linda Smoley slowly and decisively. After the loss of four members, the yearbook staff was forced to reorganize its writing and photo assignments, but it was not alone. Other extracurricular organizations suffered as more and more joiners found they were not able to handle the pressures of belonging. All in all, 9 students quit publications, 4 quit speech and debate, 6 quit cheerleading, 4 left the pom·pon squad, and 6 quit the flag and rifle teams. " I decided to quit yearbook because I am really involved with choir, and I didn't have the time that both required," said Deb Philpot '85. " Some days I would have choir at 7 a.m. and I would have to stay until 11 p.m . for yearbook deadline." Working students also found that participating in demanding organizations was often too much for their hectic work schedule. " I felt guilty when I decided to quit pom-pon and speech and debate, but my job is really important to me, and I had to take too much time off for games and tournaments," said Susie Evezic '84. Personal conflicts which arose during high pressure newspaper deadlines, 12-hour wrestling meets, and day-long debate tournaments also caused some students to drop activities. " I never thought I'd quit cheerleading, but I just READY, SET, RECORD! Scripts in hand, speech members prepare to record a 25-minute radio show.

" Even though I hated to quit, I felt a huge relief when I finally did!" Although students quit for many reasons, their quitting had the same effect on organizations - more pressure on remaining members. Publication staffers were piled with extra work, debaters were left without partners, and cheerleading and pom-pon squads appeared less impressive as they dwindled. " After my debate partner quit, I couldn't go to any tournaments, and it was hard to watch the rest of the team win awards," said Melanie Anderson '85. Although it was often an inconvenience to lose members, some sponsors felt their groups benefitted after unhappy students quit. " Generally, people who can't give what it takes to be a contributing member feel guilty and try to rationalize their guilt by blaming it on others," said Cheryl Schmidt, pom-pon sponsor. "They cause problems and make it difficult to practice and perform. Sometimes you are better off without them." But others definitely felt that once committed, a joiner should fulfill his or her responsibi lity to the organization. " I really wanted to drop newspaper because I was really involved with drama, music, and speech, but I felt obligated to continue my newspaper column because I knew that everyone was depending on me," said Chris Huelshorst '84. Unfortunately for organizations, however, m any members did not feel this dedication, and groups were forced to adjust to dwindling numbers. A LITTLE SONG AND DANCE.

With this record came even more startling statistics. The girls' basketball team reached a milestone when it beat Underwood and recorded the 1 OOth victory since the sport began in 1972. Wrestlers also made the news when they captured their third consecutive Metro title, never before accomplished. Doing a complete turnabout, girls' golfers went from an 0·8 record in the spring of 1983 to an 8·0 record this fall. Along with these successes came personal sacrifices from athletes. Tom Kruse '84, dropped 16 lbs. for wrestling by starving himself and wearing plastics to sweat off the weight. "At first, it bothered me when people would eat in front of me, but after a . while, I got to where I'd be allowed to eat but wasn't even hungry," Kruse said.

Team changes also caused conflicts between some players. Most felt that the eight starters deserved to be moved up, while others disagreed.

Although most teams would be satisfied with a 7-1 record , a third straight Metro title, and a first or second place finish in four tournaments, several wrestlers said they were disappointed. The first disappointment came in the Cyclone Invitational when the Lynx finished second. " I felt really bad when we placed second after we won it last year," said Tim Coppock '85. After losing their first dual in t wo years when they met Millard North early in the season, some matmen wondered what the season would be like.

" John Spurgin was the only junior who wrestled up to his potential ," Allen said. " Some got lazy, and some thought they were so good it didn't matter." The final disappointment came at State. When seniors Scott Hale, Tom Kruse, Kevin Shew, and Bart Taylor qualified, wrestlers hoped for the first Lynx championship in 14 years . But all hopes were dashed w hen Tay lor, who was rated first in Iowa at 155 lbs., lost to Johnny Scott of Waterloo East and w restled back to finish fifth.

Marking a milestone in girls' basketball history and finally gaining the support of the guys weren't the only things this team had to celebrate. Beating Tee Jay 67·27, the team earlier set the record for fewest points allowed in a game. "We were all pleased," said Dee Christensen '84. "Near the end of the fourth quarter when we realized we had a chance to break the school record , we worked really hard to hold them down." By season's end, the team had broken 18 out of 33 records, and according to Coach Dave Brown, - Cindy Wilson '85 earned the distinction as Al's best group of female athletes ever. First, the girls won more games than any other girls' team in AL history. Along the way, they broke records for most as· sists in a game, best field goal percentage in a game and in a season, and most rebounds in a game. Outscoring their opponents 1335 to 1050, the team also held the records for scoring the most points and holding their oppo· nents to the fewest points in a season. Finally, right after Districts, the Lady Lynx were rated third in southwest Iowa by the World Her· aid. To achieve that distinction, the girls broke many individual as well as team records. In the game against Shelby, Susan Draper '84, sank eight for eight free throws, breaking the re· season. Another junior, Janette Pearcy, broke the record for best field goal percentage when the girls met Red Oak. "I was really happy when I set the record," said Pearcy. " It became a chal· lenge to try to break the record in other games. " But the forward court wasn 't the only place that found action. Christensen set records for most steals in a game and sea· son, along with the record for most rebounds in a season. " I didn 't start the season deter· mined to break any records," said Christensen. " It just kind of happened along the way." Brown said he was pleased with the overall improvements on the 17· 1 JV team too. The JV's highest point was its win against Tri-Center.

In fact, for the girls' and boys' teams, it was a year of surprising accomplishment. After finishing last spring with a record of 0·8, the girls' team came back in the fall with eight wins and no losses, and the boys achieved a 7· 1 record, despite predictions that they would be mediocre. The highlight of the girls' sea· son was taking second place at the Duchesne Invitational, with Lori Lepley '85, tying for medal· ist honors. " Tying for first was exciting because I competed against some of the best golfers in the metro area ," Lepley said.

Although the girls bounced back to shoot their lowest score ever, a 201 against Tee Jay, dis· appointment came again when they missed a chance at regional play by taking third at Section· als.

This scenario occurred nine times throughout intramural sea· son as Phi Slamma Jamma mem· bers celebrated their wins . While all intramural players en· joyed winning, that winning was not the reason most boys went out. Like those who joined bowl· ing leagues and a new soccer team, most participated for fun. " I quit the varsity basketball team because I wasn't getting much play time," said Kurt Gahm '84. Most of the 62 boys out for in· tramurals probably would have agreed with Keith Jones '86, who summed up intramurals by say· ing, " It's a good chance to be with friends, play basketball, and have fun. " Most of the time, sophs, ju· niors, and seniors played harmo· niously . Sometimes, however, upperclassmen took the opportu· nity to show who was boss . Jeff Bowen '85, of the Brick· layers remembered one such oc· curence. " Once Jeff Hopkins smashed a sophomore (Scott Tangeman). It was hilarious," Bowen said. " Hopkins was al· ways fouling people because it didn't matter whether we won or lost." Overall, this just·for·fun atti· tude pervaded the intramural games, even when it came to the championship, which South End Metro earned by defeating the previously unbeaten Phi Slamma Jamma by two points. Other sports enthusiasts found bowling on leagues enjoy· able. for State competition. Soccer also provided fun and satisfaction for nine students who joined a new non-s chool team headed by Al Vandenburg, father of Paul Vandenburg '87. Consisting of juniors, sopho· mores, and freshman, the soccer team finished its season with a 10· 1 record against other teams in the metro area. " We didn't think we'd do that well since it was such a young team," said Chris Hough '86. " It was a pleasant surprise." According to Jim Winchester '85, the team's success was due to players' many years of exper· ience on soccer teams. They brought their expertise together at daily one and one-half hour practices which lasted near· ly two months. All those who joined non-inter· scholastic sports felt they gained valuable experience and had fun. WITH PERFECT FORM, Terry Abel tries for a strike at Brunswick Valley View Lanes.

But one disadvantage tough!" is that a pitcher is not These thoughts ran through junior Julie Royer's head as she headed out onto the field against Harlan. Little did Royer and teammates know how much things were about to change. With a double by · Jodie Core '84, two doubles by Lisa Claussen '84, and a triple by Dee Chris· tensen '84, the softball team de· feated Harlan 9·2. "I think the girls were really excited when we played Harlan and developed a pretty good lead over them," said Coach Bob Pet· tepier. "The girls knew that with this lead, they had a chance to beat them for the first time in sev· en years." Harlan was only one of the ob· stacles the softball team over· came to achieve its 14·12 win· ning record. One of the team's toughest problems was the loss of key pitcher Sandy Merkuris '84, after umpires ruled her sidearm ap· Lisa Claussen '84 proach illegal. To solve the problem, Chris· tensen, who was then playing shortstop, stepped in to assume the position. " Dee was the best player we had, not only because of batting, but because when we needed someone to pitch, she gave up shortstop and gave pitching her all, " said Krista White '84. Players said injuries also hurt their season. Core injured her leg on a steal attempt. Three games later, on an attempt to catch a ball barehanded, Amy Petersen '84, received six stitches. Both varsity players were out for sev· era! games. To battle such obstacles, the team worked hard, spending hours practicing with a new bat· ting machine, which helped play· ers improve timing against sever· al pitching speeds. "The machine got our timing THIRD BASEMAN Carol Koesters scrambles for the ball in pre-game warm-ups, while Julie Royer backs her up.

By season's end, the team had raised its batting average to .318, with five players reaching .350. Christensen led with a .512, and totaled 10 of the team's 16 homeruns. "Some of Dee's homers were awesome. She hit home runs over the fence that went unbelie· veably far," said Pettepier. "One time the ball shot out of the park like a bullet." While varsity achieved a win· ning record, the junior varsity ended 5·7. According to Coach Al Worley, many players attended camps for other sports, and family vaca· tions interfered with practices. Another problem was that after a few varsity players were injured, some of the JV players moved up to take their place, leaving many inexperienced players. SOFTBALL.

Those were some of the most im· portant characteristics coaches looked for in team managers, who generally took care of nasty but necessary details. " Filling six water bottles, twice a game, two games a night became so monotonous that by the end of the season, I never wanted to see another water bottle again!" said Lori Lepley '85, girls ' bas· ketball manager. Another tedious job managers faced was record· ing every basket, assist, rebound, steal, set, spike, serve, field goal, and touchdown, as they kept team statistics. " The volleyball players would get mad if the stats weren 't perfect every time. They didn't realize how hard it was to keep track of the spike sheet and the set sheet at the same time," said Cheryl Martin '86, volleyball manager. Convincing players that they could finish that last line drill or lose that last pound before the weigh-ins became another job for managers, who often boost· ed team morale. Clark A llen, wrestling coach, said he really appre· ciated how well Nancy Goeser '85, wrestling man· ager, got along with wrestlers while they were cutting weight. " My brother wrestled, so I understood what the GRAB THAT BALL! Volleyball manager Cheryl Martin rounds up the last of the volleyballs after practice. WITH A LITTLE TWIST, football manager Al Mabbitt replaces the face mask of a broken helmet. wrestlers were going through. I felt sorry for some of them because they were so weak from cutting weight and then they had to go through tough practices ," said Goeser. Although some managers felt their efforts went unnoticed by athletes, players and coaches really appreciated the managers ' support. "Al Mabbitt, the football manager, was always there when we had problems with our equipment," said Todd Pettepier '85. " During the Tee Jay game, my helmet broke and I had to wear another one for a while. I was really glad when Al fixed mine because the other one was really uncomfortable." Managers appreciated and respected atheltes, too. After the last home game, for example, Kris Lippke '86, and Lepley, girls' basketball managers, presented the team with a cake. " I thought it was really nice of Lori and Kris to give us a cake after the way we griped and com· plained to them. The cake represented how much they cared and how much they wanted to be a part of the team ," said Nancy Sealock '85. In fact, managers usually volunteered for the job because they wanted to be part of a team .

When we arrived in the fall, it seemed to us that this command had been given over the summer to instill pride and a feeling of safety in us as we walked through a building that had been improved to the tune of $98,472.

When pe6ple from other schools walk in, they know they're at AL," said Julie Borwick '85. To save energy, new lighting was installed in the gyms and cafeteria, at a cost of $3,778.

Fall 115 • • Drug survey surpr1s1ng A L had a reputation, and everyone knew it. No matter where you went, you were confronted with com· ments from adults like, "I hear all those kids out there are on drugs." As a result of the bad public· ity given to "those kids," an Echoes survey was conducted on Drug Awareness Day to learn the facts. Of the 649 polled about fre· quency of drinking, 54 percent said they never drank or did so only on special occasions, 23 percent answered "weekends only," and 16 percent said " three to four days a week." Some students were sur· prised by the results of the sur· vey and didn't believe them. "I don't agree with the fact that more than half the students don't drink," said Monica Sta· ver '85. "Practically everyone I know does!" Also surprising to some, only 44 percent admitted to using marijuana, and half of those claimed experimentation only. In the speed section, 65 per· cent said they had not used speed, and of the 35 percent who had, more than half had only experimented. Yet, many questioned the va· lidity of the survey due to ab· senteeism that day. "Because the subject of drug use is so obscure, I question the accuracy of the survey," said Sharon Ballenger, counselor. "We aren't sure if students were honest, and we don't know who was absent," she said. DRUG USAGE SURVEY 54 LIQUOR 56 SPEED Use D Tried D Never use nr No response 649 S urveye d YEAH!

But students who attended the Drug Aware· ness Day Nov. 1'7 soon learned B·U·Z·Z spelled disaster. The day began with a lecture from Prevention Under Student Help (PUSH) coordinator, Mike Winchester, followed by a re· freshment break and work· shops. 116 Our Times Despite the 270 students ab· sent, counselor Sharon Bal· lenger, who organized the day, said it went pretty well. Workshops ranging from "Stress and Coping" to "Mari· juana Effects" informed stu· dents of the destruction drugs could cause. " I went to the Epidemic mov· ie," said Les Jordan '86. " It dis· couraged me from ever wanting to take drugs." Students said the most enjoy· able part of the day came when Bryan Smith '83, spoke about his being hooked on marijuana and his "who cares" attitude. "I think Bryan's lecture about his personal experiences with drugs made everyone think," said Michelle Schlott '85. Although many students stayed home thinking the day would be a waste of time, for those who attended, it was a success. FJL Pep assemblies turn sparks of enthusiasm into ...

It seems like they've been appreciated more this year." Antics such as shaving balloons over teachers ' heads, wrapping the wrestling team in toilet paper, and passing a Lifesaver on a toothpick from mouth to mouth added to appreciation of assemblies. Angie Lear '86, remembered the crowd 's shouts of excitement when a cheerleader said that taller players could not bend their knees while playing pass the Lifesaver. "When Brian lifted me up, every one was screaming and laughing. I was embarrassed, but it'll be something I'll remember," she said.

Fears intensified with ABC's "NUCLEAR WAR scares me!" said Scott Schmoker, who watches The Day After with his father, Dennis. movie The Day After depicting the aftermath of a nuclear war. " I don't think you can just put nuclear war in the back of your mind," said Karen Kowal '85. "The movie really scared me because it made me realize. that nuclear war won 't just happen to the other guy. " On the other hand, many felt the media hype before the program was unjustified. " I didn't see what all the fuss was about ," said Julie Bostwick , '84. " The movie wasn 't devastating enough to recommend that y oung chi!· dren not watch it." Nevertheless, the reality of two worldwide tragedies, followed by Hollywood 's version of the possible end result of national confrontation, led each of us to speculate, if only for a mo· ment, about the future of our planet. Fall 117 Parents, children live in fear as metro area police launch intensive investigation • • • To catch a killer F rom Dec. 5 to Jan. 12, Omaha families lived in fear. They knew a killer of chil· dren was on the loose, and they didn 't know when he would strike again. On Sept. 21 , the body of Dan· ny Joe Eberle, 13, was found stabbed and dumped in weeds along a desolate road . Soon , though , the media stopped covering the story, and people started to forget about it . . . until a second body was found Dec. 5. Also covered with stab wounds, Christopher Wal· den's body was found in a field six mi.Jes from his Sarpy County neighborhood. Parents began immediately taki ng every precaution to safe· guard their children . They formed carpools to drive their children just a few blocks to school and formed a check·in hotline for children who went home to empty houses. Many kids found themselves getting a lecture on strangers, too. " I remember my parents tell· ing my little br.other not to get in a ca r if he was asked to, just to say no, and start running as fast 118 Our Times as he could," said Steve Miller '85. "Then he asked, 'What if the man has a gun?' I told him to still run because he would probably get killed anyway!" As the murder investigation continued, police pieced togeth· er a sketch of the suspect from witnesses' accounts and circu· lated it everywhere. The huge, deep set, hauntingly dark eyes, dark complexion, and stocking· cap of the sketch intensified fear for many, as they found themselves looking over their shoulder for the mysterious kill· er or suspecting every stocking· capped male they saw to be a murderer. Little by little, fear crept across the river to Council Bluffs. " One night, when I was get· ting off work at Village Inn, the police came because a custom· er had reported that he saw the man in the sketch at the restau· rant, " said Jayne Nelson '84 . . " It turned out it wasn 't the murder· er, but I was still so scared that the police took me home so I didn 't have to walk alone." Finally, on Jan. 12, John Jou· bert, 20, an airman stationed at Offutt Air Force Base, was ar· rested and charged with the murders after threatening to kill a preschool teacher in Omaha. Many students said they hur· ried home to catch the five o'clock news to see what the killer really looked like. Most were shocked to find that he looked like a boy himself and didn't resemble the well known sketch at all. After weeks of reading about the investigation , most stu· dents were relieved to read of the arrest, and although the trial was not scheduled to begin until summer, most were confident that the police had caught the right man.

All night long , he had watched the first ranked Ne· braska Cornhuskers play catch· up against the fourth rated Mi· ami Hurricanes in the 1984 Or· ange Bowl. Finally, in the last seconds, as Nebraska scored a touch· down to make the score 30·3 l, Schwertley became so excited that he leaped from his seat and smashed his knuckles against the ceiling so hard that they bled. Schwertley was not the only crazed fan that night. Many fans found themselves cheering one minute and covering their eyes the next as Nebraska lost the national championship. " All season we watched Ne· braska cream teams that really weren't that awesome. We just weren't prepared for Miami's talent," said Jeff Hogan '85. The most emotional play came during the game's nerve· breaking finale. With the score 30·31 , Tom Osborne opted to go for two points and the win in· stead of one point and a tie.

Thirty·two students said fig· ure skating was their favorite event, with half naming Scott Hamilton, the first American man since 1960 to win the fig· ure skating gold medal, as their favorite athlete. "Scott Hamilton made every· thing look easy. He made me want to go do it myself," said Sandi Voss '85. Only five students said hock· ey was their favorite event, as the U.S. hockey team fell from its 1980 gold medal finish to the seventh lowest place ever for a U.S. team. Ten students said their favor· ite athletes were the Mahre twins, whose first and second place finishes in the men's slo· lam kept the United States from suffering its lowest medal round· up in 20 years.

Sixteen·year·old junior Joan Cosgriff was killed March 2 in a fire at her home. Because the house was total· ly involved by the time firemen arrived, ne evidence could be saved to determine the fire's cause, but an autopsy con· firmed that Joan died of smoke inhalation. About 125 students attended Joan's funeral at St. Patrick's,. and $420 was collected from students during homeroom for flowers and a memorial. Survived by her father, two sisters, a brother, and her grand· father, Joan was the secretary of her Sophomore Class and an employee of Godfather's Pizza.

The spaghetti bar cost $1, and could not be paid for with a lunch ticket. The meal included a plate of spaghetti with choice of sauces, Sillad, garlic bread, and milk. "The spaghetti bar is scrumptious," said Nancy Wichman '85. " With the huge plate of spaghetti, choice of top· pings, garlic bread, and all the cheese I want, I get stuffed." When students were polled at Mrs. Franks' request to deter· mine other changes they would like to see in the lunch menu, 30 out of 60 students polled said they would like to have a salad bar where they were given a plate of lettuce and could choose the toppings and dress· ings they wanted. " If this is what students want, we'll see what we can do to get it," said Mrs. Franks. Mrs. Franks also spiced up the breakfast menu. To basic pancakes, french toast, oat· meal, and cold cereal, she add· ed egg bakes, egg muffins , scrambled eggs and cheese with potatoes, and biscuits and gravy . According to Mrs . Franks, egg muffins were stu· dents' favorites. " I don 't have time to eat breakfast at home so I eat at school," said Karen Stone '85. " I love the egg muffins. They 're really great." Twenty students polled felt that the quality of food in the cafeteria had stayed the same since last year while 25 stu· dents said it had improved.

After the board 's decision to move ninth graders to the high school in 1985, plans began for a $2 .4 million addition to AL to accommodate about 480 addi· tional students and a greatly en· larged curriculum. After 27 meetings, architects and adm inist rators finally de· c ided to locate the new 25 ,300· square foot, 3-story add ition on the south side of the English· office wing. " The location was chosen to keep the building compact," said Principal James Gaffney. Plans were to house the cm· r e n tly fragmented math, busi· ness, art, and learning disabil· ities departments in the new ad· dition so that all teachers in a department could be together. The biggest criticism of the addition's location was that English classrooms and offices would become windowless. " Even if the climate control works, we will miss the win· dows," said Cheryl Schmidt, English instructor. Construction was to begin in June , and completion was scheduled for the fall of 1985.

But the truth was that almost all of the acts in the 1984 Road· show were put together in a matter of days! Unlike past years, AL pre· sented its own Roadshow, un· combined with Tee Jay. For several weeks before Tee Jay auditions, directors were uncertain whether the Road· show would be combined.

Indeed, finding acts for the show was a problem. At the first tryouts, only 11 acts audi· tioned, and rumor was that the show would be cancelled. "The acts seen at tryouts were good, but there were not enough at the time even to con· sider Roadshow," said Spann. But those who originally tried out hated to see the show can· celled, so they concocted more acts and recruited friends to perform others. " Too many of the acts put together after tryouts consisted of music students," said Spann. " I felt a lot of other students didn' t approach me because they didn't know me." Finally, by the time enough acts were gathered, only one week was left to put the show together. " Tom and I got our music for our duet third hour on Wednes· day, and tried out the same day after school. It was -fun, but I was really nervous before the first performance," said Steph· anie Gray '85. The most touching performance was a duet by Debbie Armstrong '85, and Linda Ben· ton '85, called " Friends," which brought tears to many eyes. " I dedicated the song to Debbie because we've been friends for a long time and she means a lot to me. I thought it was a great way to express friendship," Benton said. Other favorite acts were the swing choir's rendition of " Alabama On Stage," which won many laughs and the Jazz Band's performance of " Mr. In· tense." Even though Roadshow was quickly put together, man y agreed that talent and enthusi· asm made for a good performance.

Besides appearing in the pa· rade, Mr. T visited children at local hospitals, met with the mayor, spoke at Westfair and AL against drugs, and ate lunch with members of B·MAD and others who helped bring him to CB. " He seemed like a nice guy," said Rich Housley '85. "I could tell he really cared about kids." Others helping to make the parade a grand finale to Pride Week were the 52nd Street Breakers, who rode in a silver limousine and waved sparkling gloved hands out the windows in the style of Michael Jackson. " I thought breakdancing was the best event of the day," said Jill McManigal '86. " People of all ages could enjoy it."

According to a poll of 80 stu· dents, two had read the book and fewer than half had any idea what the book was about. Cathy Holcomb '85, who read the book in junior high for her personal enjoyment, was one of 124 Our Times the exceptions. " The people who print t· shirts and posters have gotten a lot of use out of Big Brother," Holcomb said, "but he couldn't possibly exist now because the American public would revolt against such a harsh govern· ment."

The finishes of Chad Ford '86, George Hodge '85, Norman Knott ' 85, and Mary Ann Wohlers '84, qualified them for State on May 15. At State, Hodge finished third in the softba ll throw, and Wohlers and Ford each took second in their age group in the 50·yard dash. Spring 125 ___ U_P.£~ t' pirited, smart, and bored. Many students used one of these > words to describe the Sophomore, Junior, or Senior Class. But an up close and personal look showed that no class could be stereotyped. The class of 327 sophs was called "spirited" by many. After all, their "86" cries at pep assemblies and sports events seemed to overpower the upperclassmen's feeble chants. Some members of the class chose especially unique ways to show their spirit. Disguised in his mother's make-up and jewelry, Kurt Kay '86, led cheers at girls' basketball games. Other sophs took little interest in supporting sports, however. "I think pep assemblies are boring. I'd rather do homework," said Margaret Hagen '86. After the Class of '85 achieved the highest national and state percentiles in three years on the !TED tests, many described the 300 juniors as "smart." Andy Hofert and Maureen Edwards led the way academically. Hofert kept his 4.0 with a full load of classes, including chemistry and physics, while Edwards scored in the 99th percentile on the PSAT. For others, though, studies ranked low in priority. "I think high school is a time to have fun," said Shannon Shea '85. "Bored" seemed to be the best word for seniors, who had set out to make this a great year, but by March, found themselves just puttin' in time. Yet, others chose to work even past graduation. "Everyone else is so excited about getting out, but we'll be here until June finishing up the yearbook,'' said Jill Myers '84. Up close, each class seemed to have a personality of its own, yet each class was greatly enriched by the individual personalities of its members. 126 Individuals Division "I THOUGHl' dressin' weird and leading cheers would be a good way to get everyone fired-up," said Kurt Kay.

Chris Leu learns information about Texas Chris· tian University and Drake University by using the guid· ance office computer. W ith ,college brochures and letters flooding their mailboxes every day, some seniors were invited to attend colleges all over the country. Yet with all the encouragement, these sought· after seniors felt overwhelmed by the decisions they had to make. "As graduation nears, the college-stress syn· drome sets in," said Theresa Underwood '84. " It's terrible to be burdened with all the pressures!" Making the choice of which college to attend was not easy for most students. Senior Pat Davis based his decision on the academic offerings at Iowa State University. "ISU has a good program for business administra· tion, the field I want to study," he said. For many students, visits to dorms left lasting impressions and helped them make final decisions. A visit to ISU left Steve Hall '84, longing for the excitement of college life. "I'm really looking forward to living in a dorm!" he said. "It seems as if there aren't any cliques. Dorms there offer a friendly living atmosphere." As February rolled by, most students had made a final decision about what college to attend, where to live, and who would finance the tuition, but for Amy Petersen '84, the thought of going to college in a few short months seemed to haunt her each time some· one asked about her plans. "I haven't decided what college I'll attend yet. I'm considering the University of Nebraska at Omaha because I might be chosen for a spot on the volley· ball team," said Petersen. She summarized the feelings of seniors who hadn't yet finalized decisions about college. ''I'll real· ly be relieved when the confusion is over and every· thing i!" settled," she said.

During her senior year, she stayed all day for classes, and usually hung around long after 3:05 p.m. for speech, porn pon, and musical activities. " Now that I'm a senior, I really love school. If I got out early, I would later regret the time I could have spent at school," said Golden. Half of the Senior Class, however, escaped the eight·to·three routine by leaving school early under the short day policy. They spent their time in a variety of ways. Out of 75 polled, half of the students said they worked in, the afternoon. "Education is important, but so is my job. When I get out early, it isn't just leisure time; I usually go right to work," said Patty Petersen '84. Others just settled down and relaxed after a hard day of learning. "Even though I get out of just one class, the free hour helps the day go a little faster. It also gives me time to relax before I go to sports practice," said Susan Draper "84. Although a few of the students who remained at school were forced to stay by parents and the need 130 Seniors Childers-Evezic for graduation credits, most stayed because they wanted to take a class they thought would be valu· able for a future career. " l stay through seventh hour for Human Biology. ft will help me in college because I'm going to study medicine," said Marie Miller '84. Other students stayed for an academic or fine arts class offered only in the afternoon, such as swing choir, debate, or yearbook. " I look forward to swing choir because it's a good way to unwind," said Tom Wyatt '84. Many students said they enjoyed staying the whole day at school. "I feel the most enjoyable times are after school because that's when I'm able to share the day's happenings, goof off, and laugh with my friends," said Debbie Childers '84. Dan McGee '84, had a similar view. "I feel as if people are missing out when they leave early. Even pep assemblies are a lot of fun," he said. No matter what seniors chose to do, they made their decision according to what they felt worked best for them.

You can catch a few extra ZZZ's 8 uzz! This sound brought Kathryn Hagen '84, out of dreamland just long enough to turn off her alarm clock. Unintentionally, she drifted back to sleep, only to find herself awakening 45 minutes later with just 15 minutes to get ready for school. " I panic when I roll over to glance at my clock and find that I've overslept," said Hagen. During the first nine weeks of school, 250 tardies were recorded in the attendance office, according to Kay McKern, attendance clerk. Punishments for tardies were the biggest hassle for oversleepers. Randy Magnussen '84, racked up three days of in-house detention, received out-ofschool suspension, and was placed on a contract due to a record-setting 17 tardies first quarter, according to Paul Krogh, assistant principal. "My tardies are attributed to the care of my bluegill," Magnussen said. " He has an artificial respira· tor and requires special care." Others explained that working the late shift often put a strain on them. "When I close at Burger King, I don't get to bed until 3 a.m.," said Jamie White '84. " Sometimes I'm so tired that I stay home and sleep the next day." Most students, however, were careful to arrive on time by having a planned schedule. "I've never been late to school because I schedule my time in the mornings," said Julie Bostwick '84. " I know exactly how long it takes me to get ready." Although seniors admitted that extra rest was refreshing, most agreed that oversleeping was a has· sle to be avoided.

FEELING A LITTLE GUILTY, Joni Flynn accepts her in· house punishment from Terrell Clinton for too many tar· dies. 0 utside the window of Room 105, the in·house room, stood a lone maple tree and the dull, gray, corrugated steel simulator building. Inside, bright fluorescent lights glared on even brighter yel· low walls. With the incessant humming of the lights broken only by an occasional cough or shuffling of papers, the silence was nearly deafening. ln·school suspension, the punishment for skip· ping, fighting, accumulating too many tardies, or even wearing a hat in the classroom, provided for a dull day, according to most students. " There wasn "t anything to look at except the wall," said Molly Walden '84. " It drove me crazy!" With no noise to distract them, students said the one positive note of in·house was that they got a lot of homework done. No sleeping or talking was al· lowed and no passes issued, so students were ad· vised to bring enough work to last all day. " I got all my homework done by third hour so there was nothing for me to do but sit and space off the rest of the day," said Carey Gunter '84. Many students agreed that in·house was a fair and effective punishment. " I think it's really effective because I never want to sit in there all day long staring at those ugly yellow walls again!" said Walden.

Your dogs hungry for paper A s the bell rang, students in Bob Pettepier's second period algebra class hurried to find their seats. Except for one, that is. Bart Taylor '84, casually strolled through the doorway about 30 seconds after everyone else already had their assignments out. Pettepier jokingly asked, " Was your locker jammed again, Bart?" Like many teachers, Pettepier had heard that excuse and many others from students, not only as they arrived late to classes but also as they turned in late assignments. Out of 100 students polled, 80 admitted they made excuses for anything and everything. On the average, students said they used excuses three or four times a week. "I don't make excuses all of the time, but when 1 do, 1 use anything I think will work," HOPING THE DELAY WON'T MAKE HER LATE FOR WORK, Kathy Burkybile hurriedly changes a flat tire in the student parking lot after school. said Roger Mortensen '84. Some favorite excuses that students relied on were having car trouble, getting caught in traffic tieups, not feeling well, and blaming hungry dogs who ate assignments. Once in a while, over-used excuses proved to be the truth. "One time, as I was on my way t_o work, I got a flat tire and after taking the time to change it, 1 got to work 30 minutes late," said Kathy Burkybile '84. While most teachers would accept occasional excuses from a student, they cautioned against overusing them. " Most of the time, when I hear an excuse from a student, I either overlook it or give him the benefit of the doubt. It just depends on the excuse," said Mary Gepner, American Studies teach· er. "If it's a tardy or something like that, they receive a detention. But most of the time, it's no offense." Although most students would not admit being chronic users of excuses, people could be heard relying on favorite excuses everyday. NICE TRY.

Your paycheck spends itself W ith her newly cashed paycheck in her hot little hand and a strange fever burning in her eyes, the senior girl sped to Westroads, and proceeded to blow $125 on one new outfit, eyesha· dow to match, a Care Bear, and snacks for the ener· gy needed to continue her spending spree. Although most seniors agreed that the best thing about having a paycheck was spending it, their mon· ey sometimes seemed to slip through their fingers, and they admitted they spent it foolishly. "Sometimes it's fun to just buy something that you don't really need but feel you can't live with· out," said Mike Schlott '84. " With your own money, you can make decisions about what you buy." According to a poll of 100 seniors, their biggest expenses were clothes, dates, food, weekends, and cars, with clothes heading the list for girls and food at the top for boys. Both sexes found that a night out with friends was no cheap thrill either. A movie cost an average $3 CHEAP, CHEAP, CHEAP.

"I can spend up to $6 on food in one night and still feel hungry," said John Cairns '84. Not everybody found that their paychecks slipped away before they knew it. Some students who planned to continue their education saved up to 90 percent of their checks for college. "I feel better knowing my money is in the bank waiting to be spent on something worthwhile, like college," said Susan Draper '84. "Otherwise I just spend it on junk food." Just knowing they had earned their money and could spend it as they wanted, left students with a feeling of pride and freedom and helped many gain a sense of financial responsibility. "When I first started working, I blew my checks on just about anything. Now I realize it was my hard work that earned the money, so I invest my money more wisely," said Lisa Claussen '84.

Kim Jorgensen and Traci Lar· sen play the parts of bride and groom for a mock wedding reception held during sixth hour Family Living class. ''I don't believe I'm sitting in physics. We have a test, and I don't have a clue about what it's over," said Joni Flynn to Brad Hemmingsen '84. This spiel sounded familiar to many seni0rs as they found themselves foggy over facts and lost in a sea of formulas. " After a while, equations all start to look alike. I'd try to pay attention, but I found myself thinking about a choir performance or daydreaming about going home and sleeping," said Troy Kinney '84. Spacing off was one way to try and get away from class lectures and discussions. " It's funny how the smallest bug crawling on the wall can start a huge uproar in chemistry, especially if a lecture starts to drag," said Jamie White '84. Not only were advanced math and science classes thought to be pointless at times. Many students questioned the value of P.E. " If I didn't have so many hard classes that took a lot of time, P.E. wouldn't be that bad. Having to take P.E. is a waste of time," said Susan Devine '84. But seniors really appreciated many of their classes, especially those that provided them with lifetime skills. "I was really shy, but Family Living class brought out my feelings. It helped me to communicate," said Fazal Rashid '84. "I'm more confident now." Course Usefulness 141 Isn't it great when ...

Your eyes were riveted to every Trans Am and Supra that whizzed by. You ~ere desperate to find that perfect yet affordable car. When you finally scraped together the money for a down payment, you thought your problems were over - no more Friday night bouts with your broth· er or plea-bargaining with parents for the keys to the boat. Little did you know that your problems were just beginning. You didn't realize that supporting a car on a part-time salary could be almost as difficult as your dad making ends meet for a family of four. " My car seems to run me," said Patty Sturm '84. " I have to work three school days or one whole Sunday weekly to save $160 a month to pay for my car." If you had chosen to buy a used car, you found that it often needed drastic repairs at the most incon· venient times. " I spent 11 hours on my car one Saturday," said Jeff Moats '84. "After taking the engine out, I found that I had a hole in my oil pan gasket, which meant I SHOVELIN' OFF THE SNOW.

At other times, everything seemed to be running smoothly - until the long arm of the law drove up behind you with flashing lights. " I was moving along when I saw the red lights flashing in my rear-view mirror, and I just knew that it was gonna be my second ticket," said Trevor Stichler '84. " Now I have to drive slow because one more speeding ticket, and it's good-bye license." Slipping and sliding on ice-packed roads in sub· zero temperatures also resulted in trouble. " I knew the bug would make it up Ronda's drive· way even though it was icy," said Scott Hale '84. " But when I got out and slammed the door, the car started to roll toward the street. My first instinct was to stop it myself, but when that didn't work, I watched it roll to a stop at the bottom of the drive." Times like these and many others made students wonder if owning a car was really worth the hassle. ENOUGH TO GET HOME? Jeff Moats checks his oil by measuring the dipstick in the student parking lot.

Fieldhouse. After 13 long years, the members of the Class of '84 were official alumni. After watching teary·eyed graduates walk out of the fieldhouse the past two years, most seniors ex· pected this to be another teary send·off. Long after the recessional, most eyes were dry, though, and the hugs came with laughter and cheers. " After 13 tortuous years, I think everybody was so sick of school that they just wanted to get out," said Mary Kaczor '84. Before the ceremony, graduates clumped togeth· er in small groups of friends, getting pictures taken by proud parents, and offering last minute congratu· lations to each other. Slowly, clusters of grads made their way to the small gym, where sponsors hurriedly took roll, flat· tened hats, gave last minute instructions, and hand· ed a single red silk rose to each girl. A fter grads sat in the stuffy, jam-packed room for 30 minutes, a shout of "Let's go!" from instructor Don Scheibeler brought cheers to the 304 seniors, and the 12·minute process of marching down the aisle began. After what seemed like 25 stanzas of "Pomp and Circumstance," the 3500 on·lookers and graudates settled into their seats, ready for the traditional senti· m ental speech.

He began by pulling out his magic card of jumping dots and enter· tained for 30 minutes with his jokes and antics. And he delivered an unmistakable message: Be proud of what you are. Most graduates appreciated the change of pace that Nielsen had to offer. " I think the speaker was good because he was different from other years. He kept everyone awake instead of droning on like speakers have done in the past," said Gary Helle '84. Finally, after Nielsen finished his fun and games, it was time for seniors to receive diplomas, flip tassles, march out the door, and just like magic, become part of the " real world." Capping off the night, many graduates headed for the senior party. Even with mosquitoes attacking at full·force and rain clouds threatening to break up the party outside, nothing was going to stop this cele· bration. When rains finally hit, everyone scurried to the shelter of senior Jodie Core's garage and kept on partyin' until 5 a.m. " Considering that the party got moved and we were all crammed into a garage, everybody was still having a great time," said Kim Johnson '84. "We knew that we might not all be together again for a long time, so we wanted to enjoy every minute of it.' ' As the long night finally came to an end, exhaust· ed graduates knew they would long remember a magical night full of more cheers than tears. 144 Special Feature TUGGING at her bobby pins, Jill Myers finds it takes two hands to get her cap o ff.

Talking it for granted A s you walked down the hall, tun· ing out the slamming lockers and talk of homework, your ears perked when they heard an excited voice rising above the din saying, " You'll never guess what happened to me this week· end!" Although we used our voices for many things, students agreed that gos· siping and transmitting current informa· tion about school events were most im· portant. " I usually spend an hour on the phone at night," said Monica Stover '85. "It gives me a chance to catch up on every· thing I can 't talk about in school." But voices weren't always used for idle chatter. Some students used their voices for extracurricular activities. As Paul Allen '85, practiced two to three times a week, his voice worked hard to produce the high tenor notes in the jun· ior quartet song "Rosalee." " The song is a lot of fun , but it's so hard on my voice to reach high notes. We have to practice it last. Otherwise, my voice gives out on me," Allen said. Voices were also useful for breaking monotony in the classroom. Linda Ben· ton '85, spiced up classroom lectures with joking and tea_sing. " I couldn 't make it through class with· out talking, " said Benton. " It's the natu· ral thing to pass the time. " But time was important to Jolene Schwarzkopf '85, as she made the most of every minute, practicing for speech. " I've learned to project and emphasize words to stress a point," said Schwarz· kopf. " I hadn 't realized that the tone of your voice could make that much differ· ence.' ' Whether they were used for speaking, singing, or gossiping, voices filled neces· sary spaces in our lives. Voices 147 usy bodie~--------. They're handy to have S ome spent hours primping while others worked for musical perfection. Some felt pain yet produced, and some programmed while others played.

" I've had writer's cramp before, but my hands felt like they were going to fall off this time," she said. While Armstrong's thoughts were transferred onto paper, the hands of Maureen Edwards '85, entered complicated thoughts into a computer, as if her fi ngers had a mind of their own.

For 250 hours over a three-month period, his hands skillfully held his drumsticks as he tapped out the songs selected for the All-State Music Festival in Ames. Although Beth Uhlhorn '85, didn 't use her hands to compete, she put her fingers to work , meticulously applying make-up and putting every hair in place. As her hands steadily brushed on mascara , she was extra careful not to get any in her eye. " I feel better if I have taken time in the morning to look my best," said Uhlhorn. It didn 't matter what task needed to be completed or how much work was put into it, our five-fingered friends were necessary for success.

By morning, butterflies in your stomach prevented you from eating, and the announcement from the day before was running through your brain like a broken record : " Testing tomorrow. Get a lot of sleep and eat a good breakfast!" The junior year was filled with tests for college acceptance and placement and educational evaluations. Through it all, the junior brain took much abuse. "With the ACT, my whole future was on the line, and I thought about that more than I concentrated on some of my tests, " said Matt Malskeit '85. In addition to suffering through the ACT, juniors were the only class plagued with the Iowa Test of Educational Development (!TED), for which the only possible preparation was a lot of sleep and a good breakfast. " With the ITED test taking about two days, I got so tired, I couldn 't even think straight," said Karen Stone '85. Despite exhaustion and inability to prepare, juniors did well on the !TED, scoring in the 5 7th percentile, about 16 ranks higher than last year's juniors. "I actually enjoy tests like the ITED because you can 't prepare for them, and there's no studying to bother your brain with," said Maureen Edwards '85. Another test was the Annual Math Exam, a voluntary test for students interested in assessing their math ability and challenging their brains. " I took it this year to try and improve my score from last year," said Paul Shomshor '85. " I thought I would do better this year, but I hadn't even heard of some of the questions asked." As much as tests affected our futures, the stress and strain of these tests affected our brains even more. To cut down on brain abuse, students found ways to prepare for the ACT's. ··1 bought the Cliff Notes for the ACT and tried the sample test," said Bev Bracker '85.

A s they risked life and limb seven times a day, pushing and elbow· ing their way through jam-packed hall· ways to get to their next class, students couldn't believe that in two years, 300 freshmen would be added to this crowd· ed chaos. After 21 months of looking at the pros and cons, the ninth grade study commit· tee proposed Oct. 11 to Superintendent William Lepley that ninth graders be moved to the high schools in 1985. Administrators named several bene· fits, such as financial savings and an equal education for all ninth graders, but in a poll of 100 sophomores, the first class to attend AL as a four·year high school , 83 said there would be no bene· fit s from the change. The 17 who sup· ported the change listed sports and col· lege preparation as the main benefits. e "If I were a freshman , I wouldn 't Ma tt Abbott Leon Altman Scott Baker Robert Barlow Pat Bart on Paul Barton Cory Beck Kelley Beckner Teresa Bennett Kevin Bettcher Patty Black Phil Blakeman Jason Boling Troy Boner Tammy J oe Borma n Angie Bourisaw Cindy Bowerba nk Jeff Boyde n Mark Brandenburg Ron Branigan Steve Brewer Lisa Brink Mike Brockelsb y Debbie Brown Toby Brummer Marshall Burke Matt Burke Kim Cameron Libby Campbell Chris Carberry Kristy Carbis Eric Carper 154 Sophomores Abbott-Fife want to be at AL because it's such a big step from junior high to high school.

Some of them might not be able to handle the pressures of high school sports, but they will get more experience and playing time." - Dan Scott '86 e "I don't think it's a good idea to move the freshmen to AL because Kirn is brand new, and it's costing millions of dollars to put additions on AL to make room for them." -Tammy Joe Borman '86 Class of 86 NO MORE COMMUTING.

He couldn't keep his mind off the bright red package of Winstons that was stashed in his coat pocket. Those two minutes seemed to last hours for Vanderpool, who often suf· fered from nicotine fits in the middle of the day. Those suffering from such fits this school year could relieve their misery in the smoking area during lunch, but they learned in February that those privileges would not be given in 1985. When the administration informed students and faculty of plans to remove the area in the fall, opinions were ex· pressed. Thirty-two percent of 100 soph· omores polled wanted to maintain smok· ing privileges as another 61 percent agreed they should be removed. e " It's illegal for minors to buy ciga· rettes , so they shouldn 't be able to smoke during school." - Toby Brum· mer '86 • " I feel high school students are old enough to make their own decisions. It's better to have an area outside for them than having people smoking in the res· trooms." - Jackie Krutzfeldt '86 e " I don't know why there was a smoking area in the first place!

In Iowa alone, 241 were killed by drunk drivers. While many states considered raising the legal drinking age to 21, Governor Terry Branstad proposed an alternative that shocked many. He urged that a pro· visional license be issued to youth aged 16 to 21, which would be yanked if a driver were caught with alcohol in his blood while driving and if anyone under 19 years of age was caught drinking. Out of 50 students polled, 21 said Iowa's drinking age should be raised, while 19 students favored Branstad's proposal. Thirteen students favored a raise along with Branstad's proposal that licenses of offenders be yanked. e "I think the drinking age should be raised, and I also agree with Branstad's proposal. I don't care which one it is, but one better get passed before more peo· pie are killed!" - Brad White '86 e " I would rather have the alterna· tive proposal passed if the age is raised, everyone will drink anyway.

A question on the minds of teachers and administrators, however, was whether enough students spent time participating in extracurricular activities. In a poll of 100 students, 63 said they were involved, and 37 were not. Seventytwo of those polled said they believed enough students were involved in activities besides sports, while 28 said more students need to get involved. e "I think more people should get involved. It seems like the same ones participate in everything. There needs to be more of a variety of people in some activities. The same people seem to be involved in sports and in academic organi· zations such as speech team and the publications staffs." - Amy Crowl '86 e " Getting involved in extracurricular activities is for all kinds of students. Everyone should get involved because it gives people something to do besides sit around." - Lisa Day '86 e " I think almost everyone in the school is involved in something, but those who aren't just might not care, or don't have time." - Darla Gearhart '86 e " You always hear people talking about being involved, so I think enough are, but sophomores might have the trouble of transportation." - Stephen Mattes '86 Debbie Pet ersen Mike Petersen Amy Phillips David Phillips Jeff Phillips Sherry Phillips Michelle Pierce Bruce Pike Scott Ple ake Tracy Poe Michelle Porter Nick Poulos Ron Powers Rhonda Putnam Lisa Raet her Pe nny Rasch Nishat Ra shid Kerry Rasmussen Ron Ray Chris Rector Melinda Reekers Rick Reimer Ann Reuland Ruth Ringberg Brenda Rhoades Matt Roane Ric Roberts Vincent Robinson Renee Rocheleau Laura Roeder Ellen Rogers Mike Rollings School Involvement 161 ersonally speakin • • • It gives me the creeps W ith your house key clutched tightly in hand, you frantically sneaked along the sidewalk, peering around every bush and dark corner, hop· ing the dreaded boogie man wasn't wait· ing there to get you.

'n' mor - A s she heard the 6 a.m. alarm ring, Chris Fink, chemistry instructor, slowly crawled out of bed to begin yet another day in the life of a career mother. While her husband contended with the making of breakfast, Mrs. Fink spent nearly 10 minutes making trips to and from the bedroom trying to coax her 4·year old and 6·year old sons into getting out of bed and brushing their teeth. Finally, she cleared the breakfast dishes, gathered her work from the night before, strapped the boys in the car, and got to school in a nick of time. "Almost every day I get to school with just a few minutes to spare. Although some mornings feel like a day in themselves, I always enjoy what I'm doing," Fink said. Yet, keeping a full·time teaching job and being a mother to small children was not easy. "Some evenings I'm up very late just trying to finish a small load of clothes or getting the house back in shape," said Penny Hutchison, P.E. instructor and mother of two small boys. Along with late evenings went a lack of sleep and sometimes a feeling of being overworked. "There 9re some days when I could almost fall asleep in class because I have been up really late with my 3·month old, " said Marsha Grandick, speech and debate instructor. Raising a family and keeping on top of things sometimes brought emotional strains to moms who put in so many hours. "At times, I feel like I have neglected myself because I don't always get to do the things I want, like shopping or reading a good book," said Anina Madsen, math instructor and mother of a 2·year old son and newborn daughter. Yet, working moms found that special assistance made their lives easier. " I know I feel more comfortable when I come to school know· ing that my daughter is in the care of a good babysitter," said Chris Wahl, English instructor. Husbands came in handy too. "Being a parent and also having a full time job takes a lot of time and a lot of work. I know I wouldn't be able to do it without my husband," said Patty Ford, home economics instructor and mother of two daughte rs. All in a ll , moms agreed that no ma tter how hectic the hours spent at home with their children, those hours were cherished by working moms after a hard day at school. "I would feel guilty for taking time for myself. By having children and holding a job at the same time, my luxury time has taken a back seat." - Cheryl Schmidt 164 Faculty Allen-Forbes • -<. • • Clark Allen. Bas. & Adv.

Bill Forsee ADDRESSING THE FACULTY, and Clark Allen take a minute to Chris Fink chairperson of the steer166 Faculty Ford-Lyle discuss an NCA committee report. ing committee, introduces the NCA committees during the final in-service meeting held April 11. -----Afterlifeeeting tim P iles of literature tests and a ton of research notes lay on the desk of Mrs. Chris Wahl, English teacher, yet she knew that every spare minute had to be spent tallying polls and evaluating results from the 12-page questionnaires her North Central Association (NCA) committee on staff and administration had distributed. " I feel that the staff and administration subcommittee owes a tremendous responsibility to the NCA self-evaluation because the administration sets the tone for the entire school, and our evaluation of them must be fair and accurate," said Wahl. NCA - these three letters brought dreaded thoughts to teachers, for they meant meetings, studies, surveys, and reports, all with the purpose of making recommendations for the school which might never be taken seriously by those in power. "I really hope NCA will be taken seriously, but the last time NCA rolled around, very few recommendations were implemented," said Mrs. Mary Gepner, social studies teacher. Nevertheless, every 7 to 10 years, each school was required to do an NCA study, and the 1984 study involved 120 hours of work for the committees and 110 pages of survey questions which had to be answered by teachers, students, and parents. Each teacher was sentenced not only to a department committee but also to a special committee. "We had 10 to 11 meetings of one and a half hours each," .d Mrs. Connie Byrnes, math teacher. "As the chairperson r the philosophy and objectives committee, I was to see that the faculty would have a part in our report. We sent out preliminary reports and asked for comments from teachers. Finally, after two rough drafts, we wrote our final report." Department committees also met numerous times to write descriptions, state objectives, determine strengths and weaknesses, and suggest recommendations. Some departments had it easier than others. English held four 20-minute meetings, while Roger Kuhl, chairperson of the social studies department, found it necessary to have fifteen 25-minute meetings to prepare his department's report. Although teachers predicted the reports to be boring, some were surprised. " I gained an added appreciation for some departments after hearing their strengths and problems," said Mrs. Linda Smoley, journalism instructor. A major problem reported by most departments was lack of time in the school day for students to take electives, and many committees recommended a return to the eight-period day. Teachers could only hope their recommendations would be echoed by the NCA visiting team and then accepted by the board. "Most of us worked hard on the NCA committees with the hope and expectation that we could successfully improve Al's educational climate.'' - Chris Wahl NCA Study 167 f terli ~r>------.ii alents to us ''I like to eat," said Bill Willard, "and teaching doesn't pay enough, so I work on the side too. My hours are more flexible, and I enjoy what I'm doing." Willard , a psychology and government teacher, raised hogs and cattle in the hours when he wasn't teaching. He also teamed with government teacher Roger Kuhl to paint houses in the summer and spring. Many teachers used their knowledge and skill in a particular area and applied it to a second job to pay for the little extras or the necessities which their teaching salaries didn't cover. Chemistry teacher Dennis Schmoker and Mick Freeman, who taught physics, joined forces to operate a chemical lawn service from early April through October. "I need the extra money and I like to be outside doing something I enfoy and meeting new people," said Schmoker. Other teachers had different reasons for persuing part-time careers outside of school. " Painting is very relaxing and enjoyable for me," said Miriam Boyd, art teacher. " I usually just give my paintings away, but once in a while I sell one when I need a little extra money." Boyd spent her entire summer vacations painting and found the extra practice helped in the classroom too. Counselor Joe Wheeler played trumpet in a five-piece combo. A trumpet player since elementary school, Wheeler said he formed a band in college and has played in one ever since. He said that although he enjoyed playing in the band, he wouldn 't do it regularly without the pay, which helped out with household expenses. For Chris Wahl, who taught English, playing the piccolo with the Omaha Symphony Orchestra was beneficial for more rea - sons than the money. A music minor in college, Wahl said music was an important part of her life. " I'd play even if I weren't paid," Wahl said. "The money is nice, but the personal satisfaction and the applause make it especially rewarding .'' " I don't mind the work be - c a use of the extra cash.

After what seemed like forever, the Washington by-pass was completed, and with that completion came more plans. Hoping to make this one of the "most exciting cities in the Midwest,'' the Chamber of Commerce announced plans for a pedestrian-oriented downtown, including the leveling of the Mar· cus building and the substitution of a green corridor area. When Pendleton Woolen Mills, Inc. announced it would soon move into the old Safeway store and create 175 jobs, financial improvements seemed right around the corner. While these major improvements made news headlines, some of us tried to improve our town in quiet, personal ways. About 25 PUSH members spent much of their time telling elementary and junior high students "it's cool to be straight." Also working with tomorrow's adults, Karen Stone '85, taught fifth graders at Hoover School the basics of the business world for Junior Achievement. Students from various church groups joined together to form the Celebration of Life, a choir which performed for the com· munity every June. "I really like being in the group because I get a chance to meet new people," said Brenda Barger '84.

Human habitat B ulldozers roared, trees fell to the ground, and dust hovered low over the land as the Bonham hillside was transformed from a dense, wooded shelter for deer into a man·made condo· minium development for humans. As students and faculty watched from their hot September classrooms, noisy, dust·raising construction began on the 16 four·plex condominiums. "It ruined the landscaping!" said Susie Clinton, '84. "Last year I loved watching the deer on the hillside; now I hardly ever see them!" Although sad to see the beautiful wooded hillside converted into a housing development, many realized that progress al· ways involves change and felt that the location seemed ideal for condominiums. " You can still gaze beyond the condominiums and see the beautiful scenery, and I feel the project has to be good for Council Bluffs since such expansion boosts the economy of the city," said Bob Pettepier, math instructor. The sight was chosen because of its proximity to downtown shopping, grocery stores, Interstate 80, and bus stop, according to Larry Tweedt, a shareholder of TNML Development Com· pany Inc., the corporation building the condos. Each unit was to be constructed on the ground level, have its own basement, two bedrooms, a garage, a driveway, and 1,000 square feet of living space. As the first unit, with its rough wood siding and shake shingle roof, was nearing completion in May, students and teachers watched with interest. 109 S.

You entered your favorite shop to find it was sold out of the dream shirt you 'd saved for. Discouraged, you trudged to your car, opened the door, tried to start the engine . .. and found yourself out of gas. At times like those, you wished for another major shop· ping mall just a few miles away. Fulfillment of that wish would come when the three-story, block-long Park Fair, begun in June of 1983, was completed by early October of 1984. Park Fair promised to be a modern mall with an attractive central atrium, a skywalk·connected parking garage, and a mix of high-quality stores, restaurants, and specialty shops. "Park Fair will be a great place to meet friends because there will be so much to do there," said John Schwertley '85. The location near 16th Street was chosen to attract both Bluffs and Omaha shoppers, and many students felt the new center would lure them to downtown Omaha. " Shopping at Midlands Mall gets old, so I will definitely give Park Fair a try. I need a change!" said Susan Dryden '84. Another major advantage of Park Fair promised to be its skywalks, which would provide a six·mintue walk to Omaha's large corporations such as Union Pacific, Con Agra, lnternorth, and Northwestern Bell, as well as many major financial institu· tions and government offices. " My mom was really excited for Park Fair to open. She works at Northwestern Bell and can just walk to the mall for lunch on her break," said Eric Jensen, '86. Cost of the new complex was to total $8.23 million. A LITTLE TIME TO HERSELF. Stephanie Gray pauses on the bridge in Central Park, near the construction site of the new mall.

" I couldn't believe how slow the traffic moved," said Pam Hansen, '84. " It seemed like everything was in slow motion." But finally, in the spring of 1984, the solution to years of frustration on Broadway began to be completed. The final phase of construction of the Washington Avenue Bypass was completed at North Eighth Street, easing the flow of traffic through town by reducing the number of intersec· tions and driveways with access to Broadway. Before 1980, an estimated 25,000 cars travelled Broadway daily, but with the creation of the bypass, the number de· creased to about 10,000. Despite the many problems due to construction, most felt the new street was worth the inconvenience. " Broadway and Washington Avenue share the traffic load now, so neither one is as congested as it used to be," said Tom Stull, Driver Education instructor. Yet the bypass wasn't perfect either. People complained about too many traffic lights, all of which seemed to turn red at the wrong moment. " It's so frustrating when you have to stop so often," said Michelle Kobak , '85. " I can never get anywhere on time." Steve Wilmarth, city engineer, said that there would be a period of adjustment while the city maintained the traffic sig· nal system and improved the timing of the lights . • DO NOT PASS OUT WITH THE OLD, in with the new. Workers repave at the corner of Sixth Street and Broadway. SLOW MOVING. Cars creep along in onelane traffic on the Eighth Street viaduct during the final phase of bypass construction.

On your left, clothes hung limp in the Thrift Shop windows, and an old man with a straggly beard stumbled out of Harry's Pub. You looked farther down the block to catch a glimpse of a fatherly figure slipping nervously into the XXX·rated Crest. To your right you surveyed the Beno and Wickham buildings with their graffi· tied windows. You thought to yourself that it was about time downtown Council Bluffs was revitalized. Finally, on Jan. 16, you read that the city council had voted to make the redevelopment of downtown C.B. a top priority. " I think it's an exciting prospect," said Mary Gepner, social studies instructor. " A vital downtown in cities is essential." The plan called for renovating the Wickham, Beno, Penney, and State Bank buildings and leveling the Herman·Marcus build· ing and most of the Crest Theater block. An office complex and a green park extending to Bayliss were proposed for the theater block, and a downtown entry park would replace the Herman· Marcus Building. The Planning Department hoped to begin the $12 million project by November, 1984.

Then the phone rang. It was Cathy asking you to babysit for her in 30 minutes because Mr. Wonderful had just invited her to the movies. She just couldn't turn him down. "Could you, would you, can you," were important phases in students' lives. Doing favors for someone was an important part of a friendship. Whether it was asking for that geometry assignment that didn 't get finished or a loan of 35 cents for a candy bar, friends loved to know they had someone to rely on.

Favors were and always would be a give-and-take situation, but most students didn't keep track of how many times they did a good deed for someone else. "When I need any last minute answers in chemistry, I know I can depend on Lisa for help, " said Laurie Koontz '84. "I never feel guilty asking for help because we're such good friends." Help in a certain class, a ride home from school, a loan for an after-school treat, and advice or comfort were just a few of the many favors friends shared with one another. Occasionally, people tried to take advantage of their peers. " It really makes me furious when someone continuously ca ll s me for answers," said Bob Ba ll enger '84.

"I was embarrassed , but it mea nt m ore than anything they could have bought me." Many students also purchased from various clubs inexpensive gifts for friends. " I'll never forget sitting in first hour and having an " I love you sing·a·gram sung to me," said Denise Driver '84. Other fundraisers included Valentine carnations, St. Pat· rick Day cookies, and stuffed rabbits for Easter, which in· valved cheery , creative mes· sages such as, "To my best bunny - have a hoppy day." Although students expressed the importance of their friend· ships on holidays, some said these expressions meant even more on ordinary days. " Debbie and I always send each other cards and flowers for no reason ," said Linda Benton '85. " It reminds us what a spe· cial friendship we share," No matter how students communicated their caring from person to person, they found that communication to be one of the most rewarding parts of the school year.

Chuck Smoley Colophon 203 UP CLOSE Faculty's extensive self-study, months of lectures, tests diminished by personal antics, achievements F inally, it was all coming to an end - months of meetings and report writing for teachers on the 23 NCA committees, and months of bor· ing science lectures and countless English vocabulary words for students. In the inter· im, everyone had an opportunity to leave a mark on AL. The faculty's up close look netted 100 pages of preliminary reports listing strengths and weaknesses in everything from the number of outlets in rooms to the success of the spaghetti bar. The 16 departmental committee all reported that the change to the 7-period day had hindered teaching and learning, and two special committees studying the community, staff, and adminis· tration reported a growing communication gap between stu· dents, teachers, parents, and administrators. In fact, only 14 percent of the 49 teachers surveyed said the administration was open to new ideas. On the positive side, although students occasionally referred to AL as a "prison," 47 percent of the students surveyed said enough freedom was allowed, and teachers reported satisfaction with their freedom within the classroom. Such survey results would undoubtedly result in faculty rec· ommendations, but in the long run, they would be remembered by almost no one. Years from now, we would remember the personal side of it all - the good times and the accomplishments that individuals created. Choir members would remember May 4,. the day 70 of them captured one of only two superior ratings at State Contest. They would also remember seniors' last day when the mafia men returned, armed with loaded squirt guns and shaving cream, to recruit members for swing choir. As part of the recruitment, they described the requirements for swing choir by using their props. "We wore Hawaiian shirts under our coats to show good cantinued on page 206 204 Closing WITH SHADES AND LEATHER TIES, Kelly Groce and Melody Knott goof around in the student lounge after porn pon practice.

Speech team members would remember the day they trav· elled hundreds of miles and qualified four for All-State, and they would remember Chris Leu's ravenous appetite. "At our banquet there were extra pizzas, and everyone just told the waiters to take them to Chris. He finished them off," said Pam Hansen '84. The yearbook staff would remember the call from New York saying the '83 book had been named a national Gold Crown winner. Even sharper in their memories would be the Halloween night they dressed as everything from Mickey Mouse to an M&M package, danced to their adviser's house, descended into her basement, and serenaded her family with a rendition of "The 12 Days of Halloween." "After the hectic deadlines, I'll never forget how we let loose and got crazy that night," said Diane Schoeppner '85. After suffering through a 1 ·8 season the previous year, the girls' tennis team would never forget turning its record around to 9· 1. Players would also remember how Amy Lemen '86, moved from seventh to number two singles action by working herself to the point of exhaustion, even passing out at the Atlantic Touma· ment. "It's my strategy to keep the ball in play, no matter what it takes," Lemen said. So as the faculty concentrated on an up close look, we realized that we didn't have to look closely to appreciate the personalities that made these days memorable. 206 Closing OF th e Malla Men.
