Although many students found themselves making preparations at the last minute, most felt Homecoming '78 was a success, except for a disappointing game. Even floats prepared at the last minute were creative. The first prize float, designed by the Junior Class, featured a Lynx chef constructed of chicken wire, and stuffed with paper napkins, barbecuing a skewered rabbit over hot coals. Another recipe for fresh rabbit meat was offered by a Tasmanian Devil, who concocted a tasty rabbit stew. The National Honor Society didn't want to bother with recipes.

Most students agreed that along with floats, the dance was better than past years'. "It was the best Homecoming Dance I've been to," said Dana Butler 79. The band's driving beat encouraged everyone to get out on the floor. "I thought the group Phoenix was really good," said Elise Ericksen '79. "They really made people want to dance." The week before Homecoming, Student Council members tried to generate excitement by decorating the halls and student lounge with streamers and balloons, and cheerlea€1ers sponsored spirit days, with a different outfit for each day. The most popular was "Country Day," with everything from cowboy hats to boots and spurs westernizing students. Spirits were high, with everyone confident the Lynx could pull out a Homecoming victory. But hopes were smashed as AL fell to Benson 20-14. The brightest spot in the game was at half time, when the letters T-A-M-1 were lit up to announce Tami Hughes as Homecoming queen. laughter and good spirits abound as Lori Farrell clowns around at the Homecoming game.

Suddenly the lights brightened-the house had landed in Oz. Children and adults alike wondered what other spectacular events were in store for them after this early tornado scene in "The Wizard of Oz," presented Nov. 8 through 11. Because of the fairytale plot of "The Wizard," many extraordinary events had to be created on stage through special effects and exact timing. "I think our biggest problem was figuring out the special effects," said direc tor Jim Mimick. A hot air balloon that was supposed to lift Dorothy and the Wizard finally had to be left on stage because there was no way to raise it. But in other scenes, the crew was able to create effects so startling that children screamed out. Witches, for example, appeared in puffs of smoke and the Wizard's voice reverberated so loudly that it resembled thunder. Props and scenery also took much time to ' create. The stage crew spent approximately 200 hours painting and designing props. The yellow brick road alone took nearly two weeks to complete. Because a younger audience was expected, Keeping a steady hand, Pam Acklie carefully makes up Kerry Mortensen as the cowardly lion.

(RIGHT) 12 musical costumes had to be designed to hold their attention. To give them a short, round appearance, munchkins sat on skateboards with cardboard under their satiny gowns. Two hundred yards of material were used on the munchkins' costumes alone. Make-up was as challenging as costumes, according to Pam Acklie '80, make-up chairman. "The lion was the most difficult character," Acklie said, "because he was a mixture of fantasy and reality, which had to be evident in his make-up." The hours put into "The Wizard" were rewarded with letters filled with praise from Longfellow third graders. One child said his favorite part was the shrinking of the witch. Another complimented Cheri Parramore '80: "I thought Dorothy was wonderful and she sings well, too." One little boy wrote, "If I was the teacher, I'd give everyone in the play a prize." Older students also enjoyed the play. Many of them left the auditorium saying, "I thought it would be dumb, but it turned out great." "The wicked witch was super," said Linda Winey '79. "She sounded just like the one in the movie." • "The Wizard of Oz" created a fantasy world both big and little kids loved.

Such was the recipe for Christmas Dance Dec. 9. Weeks before the dance, girls nervously prepared to ask that special someone. Although a few were too shy, most had the courage to ask their dates. Girls thought switching roles for the night helped break the old tradition. "I like asking the guy to the dance," said Patty Ryerson '79. "It gives you a chance to ask who you want." Most boys agreed the change was welcome. "It feels different being asked by a girl," said Neal Hakenson '80, "but it takes the pressure off the guy.'; After the nervous anticipation of asking and waiting to be asked, couples were expecting an eventful evening.

The floor was constantly crowded, as couples changed partners, dancing with friends. "The dance was more fun this year when everybody danced with more than one person," said Judy McNeal '80. Many couples completed the evening with a meal at one of Omaha's best restaurants. Two of the most popular spots took them hundred of years back into history. Brother Sebastians resembled a medieval monastery complete with library and wine cellar. The Drawbridge simulated a medieval castle. Real suits of armor added to the atmosphere. "The Draw - bridge was really different," said Traci Hughes '80. "They even had pages for waiters." Stuffed and tired, couples ended the evening filled with memories of the night they had shared. christmas dance 15 Crepe paper cobwebs, spiders, and witches hung from the gym's ceiling as students imitated John Travolta's disco dancing at the Halloween Dance sponsored by the Senior Class. The Oct. 28 dance featured Raven, which included Terry Hempel 79, and Tim Williams 79. "The band was terrific," said Suzy Winey '81. The number of students attending the dance doubled to about 60 after 10 o'clock, when party goers began arriving. Some teachers and students were disappointed by the lack of attendance. "I paid $1.50 to get in and left after half an hour because nobody was there," said Carmen Eggers '81. "Students don't enjoy school activities anymore," said chaperone Vonnie Tangeman, industrial arts instructor. "When I was in school, everyone in the school went to the dances." Of the few students who attended, most felt it was a success. Some said it was the best dance they'd ever gone to at AL. John Travolta imitators and their dates cr-azy formed a line and made up their own dance. "We twirled the girls in the air," said Cory Harter 79. "It was really fun. It was crazy!" "Everybody was dancing and getting crazy," said Tim Storey '79. "People weren't wearing suits, so it was easier to dance, and they weren't afraid to make fools of themselves." Other students waited until the following Tuesday to celebrate Halloween. One group gave a surprise birthday-Halloween party for Toni DiBlasi '80. Cookie monsters, tigers, hobos, and Dolly Parton greeted the surprised DiBlasi. Everyone chipped in for dinner, and then watched DiBlasi hunt for hidden birthday presents. Other Halloween events included a toga party for the Swing Choir held in the auditorium. Members practiced c~oreography, then had refreshments and danced. Togas varied from floor length to very short. Some members wore laurel wreaths. "There were quite a few laughs about the togas," said Colleen Lyon 79. Halloween gave students a chance to loosen up, relax, and take off their masks. Raven's steady beat invites dancers to let loose and enjoy the music.

The old lady was the main character in a scene which showed her begging, screaming and literally tearing her hair out, trying to get money from a frustrated and irritated banker, played by Jeff Baker '79. The scene was from "A Defenseless Creature," one of ten vignettes in Neil Simon's "The Good Doctor," presented in a matinee March 8, and in evening performances March 9 and 10. The main character was a writer, played by Larry Kisby '80, who created and narrated stories w hich were enacted by characters on the stage. Many actors said they felt the matinee audience didn't appreciate the play's sophisti cated humor. Rude remarks were ca lled out by students, and the noise level grew so loud that director Jim Mimick had to yell out for the ilUdience to be quiet. "I'd just as soon not perform if they're going to act like that," said Anne Kenny '80, who played in two vignettes. Many students just weren't listening, according to Mimick. "The audience talked during the narration which explained the story," Mimick said. " They never settled down." Some actors felt playing to a bad audience was a good experience for them. "If you're really into the character, you can tune out the audience," said Baker. Audiences began to appreciate the play towards the middle, after they quieted down. "The audience was exceptionally rude towards the beginning," said Kisby, "but I think the kids really enjoyed later parts of the play." A favorite scene was "The Arrangement," in which a father was giving his son a prostitute for his birthday. The audience roared when the father changed his mind, saying "Why don't you wait and grow up next year, son?" school play 19 ( At a m()ment~§ n()tice ,, Lynn and Carrie, we need a skit to go on for "My Man." Can you think of anything?" . "You're crazy!" "C'mon, you have half an hour . .. Hey, know, why don't you use your friends, Bob and Bill Murphy, the twins from Lewis, Iowa? They're here tonight!" "Okay, what kind of skit?" "Something to do with twins. You'll think of something." This scene took place backstage at a performance of Roadshow '79. The skit they finally thought of was about two bored girls on a Saturday night who call a double dating service. They ask for two macho men but end up with the moronic twins. Drama students found they had to improvise many skits to fill in gaps in the show. Organizations were asked to participate in the show, but only the cheerleaders contributed. Because the auditorium was booked for every night except April 7, 9, and 11, the show was literally thrown together in two weeks. Tryouts were two days after the last performance of the school play, which didn't give students adequate time. "This year Roadshow came so fast, no one was prepared," said Anne Kenny '80. With only two weeks to get ready, the cast was plagued with one problem after another. Paper flowers used for the set disappeared, so more had to be made the day before the show. There were only four rehearsals. "We defiThank God I'm a country boy. Pi ckin ' and a grinnin', Matt Mahan, Scott Hunter and Randy Utterback create a country atmosphere as they play a bluegrass tune.

"Some acts could have been more polished, and all together the show would've been smoother." Most acts were forced to prepare individually. "Almost all the acts worked on their own time," said Pam Acklie '80, "which helped tremendously." But individual practices didn't always go smoothly. "Our group could never get together," said Patty Thorn '80. "We'd have practices and only three or four people would show up." Set construction also lacked the preparation needed. "We really needed longer to build the sets," said Jeff Baker '7.9. "We had to use old sets and props instead of building what we needed." But many students felt the show came off a success. "I really enjoyed it. There was a balance of music, comedy, and dance," said Mark Miner '79. The favorite overall act was "The Raven " composed by DaVal Johnson. It was an eeri~ haunting ballad performed by a group clad i~ robes. The lyrics resembled the poem "The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe, with the line "Quoth the raven, nevermore," repeated throughout. "I could listen fo the Raven all night," said Dave Parramore '79. Overall, students never would have guessed the show was thrown together at such short notice.

Although the dance was held at Carter Lake's W arehouse Ballroom, some students hooted and hollered, stomped and pounded on tables during the crowning ceremonies as if they were back at the A L gym. " Almost everyone was having a good time and getting row dy," said Mary Harrison '80. Seniors said they got rowdy because they knew it was their last dance. " It was sad realizing this was my last Pro m," said Dana Butler 79. " But since it was, I really made the most of it .11 For many students, Pro m was the only night in the school year they could really dress up, so they went all-out. " I spent over a hundred dollars all together," said Lanny Dingman '79. " I figured it was my last year, so why not go all the way!" Prom costs were high fo r many students, especially boys. In a random survey of 50 students, the majority of boys said they spent anywhere from $80 to $1 00, while girls spent a little less, about $60 to $80. Expenses for boys included tu xedos, flowers, dinner, tickets, pictures and, for some, rented cars. Girls didn't have as many expenses, w ith the minimum of a dress and flowers to buy. But even though they dug deep into their pockets, students found Prom w as w orth the money. "I thought it was great the way everybody dressed up," said Jim Pillar '80. " Even though it cost a lot, it w as worth it. It made the dance seem special." Dinner fo llow ed th e dance, th en parti es which lasted into the early morning hours.

The Class of '29 was here to hold its fiftieth reunion and help send off the Class of '79. Four-hundred and twenty-two anxious seniors listened as retired attorney W illiam Wolfe '29, spoke to them in his comm encement address about setting goals. Wolfe ta lked about the past 50 years-from radio to television, to airplanes, to supersonic jets, to the moon. "It's been a wonderful age," he sa id. He urged the Class of '79 to solve the problems of energy, nuclear power, and war. " Let's make the next 50 years something to be proud 24 graduation of," he said. Before commencement, the Class of '29 held their reunion with the help of the Class of '79. Thirty-five seniors helped provide a tour of the building, a luncheon in the cafeteria, and musical entertainment following the silent movie in the auditorium. The biggest event of the reunion was the establishment of a '29-79 scholarship. When Virginia Kreuger, Class of '29 committee chairman and Lucile H?ffman, Senior Class sponsor: thought of the rdea, they were afraid the seniors wouldn't go for it. But as soon as they heard about it, the Class of '79 thought it was a great idea and contributed $1000 to get it started. At commencement time, the scholarship total had reached over $5300. The enthusiasm of the elder class rubbed off on some '79ers. " I hope our class can have a reunion like this in 50 years. It's so neat to see these people having so much fun while helping other people," said Barb Brandon '79. "Graduates, you must set a goal," commencement speaker William Wolfe tells seniors.

Excitement mounted in the community as the week drew closer. After it was over, the Nonpareil declared it a "tremendous success." But at AL, many students were unaware of Pride Week. The main event, a parade down Broadway on April 29, attracted a swarm of 15,000 spectators. They watched 65 floats sponsored by schools and civic organizations. Cheerleaders, porn pon girls, bands, and horses also joined in the celebration. Although students at other schools were reported to participate enthusiastically in weeklong events such as "Balloon Ballyhoos," and assemblies honoring long-time teachers, many students at AL barely realized it was a special week. Events at AL included a 50's dress-u~ day, a boys versus girls basketball game, a hat day, a mountain music show, and a day on which students could stay home if their parents came in their places. . Few students participated in any of these activities, except the assemblies where they had little choice. Only a handful of students dressed up, and almost no one wore a hat. .No ~arents were seen filling in at school for their children. Many students said they didn't know .in advance about the activities and suggested more publicity in the school newspaper in addition to announcements. An.n Burke '79, Pride Week Committee Chairman for AL, said, however, that publicity was adequate."People just didn't seem to care. I'm not sure what the problem was," she said. Many students thought response was poor because people were confused about how the activities related to Pride Week. "What does a 50's dress-up day have to do with pride?" said Brian Brown '81 . Some students suggested better activities, which included beautifying the community and school grounds. "We should have taken a day off school to pick up trash in the community," said Mark Miner '79. One event was well related to Pride Week, but it involved only a few students. On Civic Pride Day, 40 Council Bluffs students followed city and county officials for the day. AL students served as the fire chief, a judge, the sheriff and a council member. Other Pride Week events included a showc.:.ase held every night at Bayliss Park, hosting about 40 performances from various sch0ol groups, including Al's choirs and bands. Pride Week was an event the community enjoyed, but most AL students didn't get involved.

(BELOW) Fashion flashbacks H igh heels clickety-clicking down the hall ... satin rustling on the dance floor ... boys whistling at girls in straight-leg jeans ... rowdies yee-hawing as they don cowboy hats and boots-these were the sounds accompanying some of the fads and fashions of '79. A nostalgic yearning for the moods of the carefree 'SO's inspired some of the looks. Cuffed, straight-legged jeans and tall, skinny heels teamed up with big shirts and skinny belts to give girls that chic, slim look. "I think straight-leg jeans look really neat," said Tammy McDowell '81, "especially rolled up with high heeled shoes." And the 'SO's influence promoted skirts as one alternative to pants. Their tiny pleats, soft gathers, or wide circles were topped with sheer blouses or soft sweaters. For yet another look, pleated, narrow-legged trousers, white tuxedo shirts, blazers and ties were the components of the menswear style, inspired by the oscar-winning movie, " Annie Hall." "I think menswear on girls looks really sharp," said Susan Miner '81, "but some overdo it a I ittle." For evening, girls wanted ·at least one satin disco outfit. "I think disco outfits are classy for anytime you go to a party or someplace special, but they really don't fit into the school atmosphere," said Cheryl Smith '81. "Jeans are still more prevalent." Of 82 students polled in a random survey, the majority agreed the casual look of jeans and sweaters was still preferred over dressier fashion trends. "Some students, mostly girls, are concerned with fashion," said Neil Price '81, " but boys buy clothes that look good on them." Although boys weren't as concerned with fashion as girls, most students agreed they were dressing sharper. "I think it's a definite improvement that boys are wearing more corduroys and sweaters instead of ragged jeans and T-shirts," said Kathleen McKinley '81. In a casual mood, hiking boots and cowboy hats westernized boys as well as girls. " It seems like everyone has a pair of hiking boots," said Todd Hoden '81 . " They're really comfortable." With so many new styles, students were easily confused as to what was "in."

School's out for two whole days! With this sudden freedom, students were out to party. On Friday night, a good time might have been a football or basketball game, and then out to eat at Marchio's or Spaghetti Works. "It's great going out, chowing down and getting crazy after a game," said Dan Driver '80. Or maybe students spent their time standing in a lo ng line, fighting the wind and snow, waiting to see the super movie everyone was talking about, only to find after reaching the front that the sign said " sold out." Saturday night found many students at parties. "I like to get really wild and have a good time on weekends," said Connie LeMaster '79. Although many students enjoyed drinking, some preferred the company of good friends to alcohol. "When we have a party, it's a lot of fun even without alcohol," said Jana Milford '79.- "We don't need to get high to have a good time." Sunday night wound up activities with d isco dancing at the Depot, which featured teen night on Sundays, when kids fro m 13 to 19 could dan ce w ith o ut bein g served alcoho li c beverages. The Depot offered dance contests each week for ten weeks. Winning couples from each week participated in one large contest w ith prizes of $50, $100 and $200 awarded. " The people involved in the contests reall y got in the disco spirit," said Christie Griff in '80. "They dressed in the latest disco o utfits and could really dance!" With such a w ide variety of activities, students had difficulty doing everything they enjoyed on weekends. Once a mo nth, in-service days were relished as another opportunity for them to have a good time. Skiing at Crescent, ice-skating at a local pond or park, or having a leisurely lunch w ith friends at a local restaurant were favorite activities.

When the bell signaled each lunch period, students began to dig in pockets for 40 cents and scramble to get in long lines. By the time they were served, most had less than 15 minutes left to gobble their lunches. Meat, vegetables, a roll and butter, fruit, and milk constituted a typical school lunch. Most students chose to take advantage of the reasonably priced lunches. A few chose to eat ice cream cones and salads, also offered. "You can't eat anyplace else for 40 cents," said Doug Howe '79. When the favorites-pizza, macaroni and cheese, and chicken-fried steak-were served, lines were longer and plates were licked clean. But when the not-so-favorites- goulash, soup, and fish sandwiches- were served, waste receptacles had to be emptied half a dozen times. "The lunches are reasonable," said Jennifer Kinney '81, "but they're not always good." Almost everybody believed the 20 minutes for lunch was not enough. "You're rushed, especially when there's a long line," said t Myers '79.

To supplement lunch, many students spent morning study halls munching candy bars and sipping pop in the student lounge. Two new restaurants in Council Bluffs, Applegate's Landing and Big Cheese Pizza, provided students with more variety for munching outside of school. " I like sitting in the porch swing and gazebo at Applegate's," said Trisha Burkybile '81. But the favorite of students was the fast-food restaurant, where they co1.ird fill up on W hoppers, Whalers, Big Macs, Triples, fries, rings, malts, sundaes and pies, usually for under $2, and in 20 minutes time. Many admitted to satisfying these cravings at least tw ice a week. Over half of those surveyed preferred Burger King's Whopper to all other fast-food delights. "The Whopper is stuffed with a lot of good things, and the bun isn't bigger than the meat," said Darla Dettman '81 .

Eighty-one of 100 students randomly surveyed said it was the major problem in the United States, and 45 said inflation had a big effect on them. To help beat the high prices, almost half of those surveyed took jobs. Their average salary was $158 a month. " I like working, but I'm doing it for the money," said Mike Branigan '79. "If I didn't have to work, I wouldn't." Many students worked primarily to support their cars. One-third of those surveyed owned their own cars. One student reported spending $208 every six months for insurance, $86 a month for payments, and $60 a month for repairs, maintenance and gas. The average car owner spent nearly half of his income o n his car. Whether or not they worked, students reported that inflation hit them hardest in food, clothes and gas. Many said they had to cut down in these areas to make ends meet. "The high cost of clothes blows my money," said Lu38 inflation cinda Bourne '79.

Teachers who saw the program believed it applied to AL, even though the school's ACT test scores averaged .7 to 1.6 points higher than the national average. The consensus among teachers was that even though students were learning something, they should have been learning much more. "Many of our students graduate with a minimum of knowledge about the subjects they were taught in high school," said Jane Tarson, biology teacher. " It's appalling that serious college bound seniors with GPA's of 3.5 or better are unable to read and interpret material independently, take notes and organize them or perform competently on an essay examination," said Arlan Johnson, English instructor. A wide choice of classes prevented maximum learning, according to many teachers. A total of 149 courses was offered, ranging from the easiest to the most difficult. Students selected their own classes, many of them opting for easier course loads. For example, the enrollment in Basic Composition, an elective Engli sh course, had dropped from 250 students four years ago to 140 students last year. Only nine students took Advanced Composition. But college students returning from school claimed they should have taken more of the basics. "Everybody should take Basic Composition. I didn't have it, and now I have to go back and learn how to write," said Donna Stenberg 78, Northwest Missouri State freshman. Better learning would have res ulted if there had been a balance between requirem ents and electives, according to several teachers. The only requirements were one and a half years of social studies, two years of English, three yea rs of phys ical education and one semester of math or science. "Requirements when I was a student were stricter. We could choose only three elec - tives," said Alice West, DECA instructor. " Now there are too few requirements. I think a happy medium should be met." Other teachers felt that if students were motivated, they could get a good education from the classes offered. "You can get a fantastic education, or you can simply put your time in here," said Orville Miller, math teacher. " If students are serious, they'll have enough initiative to take the classes needed." Teachers generally agreed that paFents were failing in their obligation to motivate their children. "Learning must start in the home. Parents must create a learning atmosphere and interest," said Jeff Haun, industrial arts teacher. Instructors expressed varying philosophies of how to motivate students to learn. Several teachers felt classes had to be fun to prevent student apathy. "My basic feelings are that learning, no matter what the subject is, has to be fun," said Vanessa Wright, typing teacher. " If kids·enjoy the class, they do the work and learn from doing it." Others disagreed. "Learning is not always fun; it's often hard work, and students must be taught that reality. The classroom should be a place where students expect to think, read, write and drill without being entertained all the time," said Linda Smoley, English instructor. Generally, teachers said homework was im-· portant because it provided an opportunity to practice what had been learned . Yet, students revealed that they were given less and less homework as they progressed from the requirements of their sophomore year to the electives of their senior year. In a class of 17 sophomores, most said they had regular, checked homework in at least three of their classes. In similar survey of seniors, most revealed they had little or no homework. Most students surveyed, however, said homework was important. " Ho mework gives you practice and a chance to develo p ski lls that you've been taught," said Colleen Lyon 79. One way administrators planned to begin checking strengths and weaknesses in students' skills was to give check point tests in the third, sixth, eighth, ninth and eleventh grades. The testing was projected to begin in two years. It was fair to say, then, that although the picture at AL was not as bleak as the one CBS painted of the natio n's schools, many local educators believed that not enough was demanded of students. academic achievement 43 44 social studies "Bottle Neck" game teaches students about the procedures and problems of passing a bill.

For a few students, Election '78 was a time for balancing normal work loads with additional hours spent at their precinct headquarters. Lynn Damme '79, and Patty Thorn '80, worked for the Democratic campaign, surveying voters by phone, walking miles to remind voters door to door and putting up posters all over town. "It's exhilarating to be involved and really believe in the candidates I back," Thorn said. But for most students, the election year was their first exposure to the world of politics. Politics class, taught by John llcisin, gave students a chance to gain insight into the political scene. "It's good to take politics because you learn how government runs, as well as interesting facts," said Theresa Swanger '79. Several speakers addressed the class. U.S. Representative Tom Harkin, opposing candidate Julian Garrett, and Craig Whitney '78, who campaigned for his father, discussed the issues. Issues covered during the discussions varied from agriculture in Iowa to the country's economic situation. "Inflation and taxes are issues that are important because their spiraling rates need to be controlled somehow," said Scott Fort '80. After interaction with the candidates, students felt they would have voted if they had been old enough. "The speakers helped me become more interested in government," said Shane Beck '79.

This scene occurred regularly in room 208 as speed reading students were timed. As the result of a poll of sophomores in Personal Reading, Dorothy Ricke, English instructor, wrote a new speed reading curriculum, approved by the school board last year. "About 75 percent of my students were interested in a speed reading course," Ricke said. Approximately 180 juniors and seniors took the new class. During one semester the goal was to double or triple each students' reading speed. Students didn't know what to expect. "I thought there would be little tricks and aids to help achieve a goal," said Wanda Haberberger 79. But there were no tricks and aids, just drills and timings. "Speed reading is a physical skill," said Ricke. "When the student knows he is being timed, he pushes to read faster." Timings varying from 2 to 15 minutes were taken regularly. Words read per minute were recorded so the student could see his progress. Each student at least doubled his reading speed. Some set higher goals and met them . One student went from 250 words per minute to 3140 words per minute in one quarter. " I never thought I would be able to read as fast as I can now with good comprehension," said Judy Waters '79. To test students' comprehension, timings were taken from a Science Research Association (SRA) reading lab. After the timings, a ten-question test was given . If the student scored 75 percent or higher, he had good comprehension. Outside of class, students applied speed reading to text books. " I've used speed reading while researching papers for my child care class," said Haberberger, "It's been a great help."

Small color-coded boxes neatly stapled to the walls held supplies they would take when needed. Full of construction paper, laminating paper and countless pieces of equipment, the media center opened its doors to any student wishing to complete a project or be creative. The "Open Door" policy was instituted because John Cairns, media specialist, beiieved the center was for everyone. "The first objective of the media center is to serve the students and faculty," Cairns said. Students liked the policy because it gave them a new opportunity to do things which were impossible in the confines of the regular classroom. Projects ranged from creating and laminating collages and making transparencies, to preparing and fitting sound to slide series.

"I make posters and projects for Mrs. Levy as well as for myself." Teachers found the arrangement ideal. "I think it's a nice organization. It provides a chance for my students to use materials I don't have," said Maxine Levy, special education instructor. Teachers also used the facility to prepare teaching aids. To assist students and faculty, several students, called designers, were trained in lettering and arranging posters, making video tapes, preparing slides and checking out equipment. "Art students often come up to the center _wanting things laminated," said Ed Rutledge '79. "We show them how, so they can laminate on their own later." The media center was no longer a place to take work to be done, but a place where anyone could work.

Such was the scene when Jeff Haun, industrial arts instructor, washed the sawdust from his hands and exchanged his hammer for a spoon to show the art of Chinese cooking to Advanced Foods students. To provide something different, Mary Housewright, home economics instructor, asked teachers to demonstrate for her students. "It's fun to cook and I like to eat what cook" Haun said. "I cook anything from Italian, Mexi~an, Chinese to good ol' American food." Tomas Lara, Spanish instructor, also offered to demonstrate, giving a lesson on cooking Mexican food. As well as learning how to prepare exotic dishes, students had a good time. "It was really fun to watch Mr. Haun cook; he sure made a big mess," said Mary Hanafan '80. Some learned that they wouldn't like to live in a foreign country. "I like American food a lot better," .said Marilyn Miller '80. At the other end of the hall, Thurman John50 business, home economics son, typing instructor, was taking a mugshot of each of his 115 students. Johnson had two goals for his classes. "My goals are to recognize the best student in the class and to give everybody a chance to succeed," he said. When he tried to think of a way to stimulate student effort, he came up with an unique idea. With the words "Top Ten" and a period number printed on each, five cardboard posters hung on his classroom wall. After one, three or five minute timings were taken, the ten students with the best timings had their pictures placed on the posters from first to tenth place. . Johnson paid for developing the color pictures himself. "Everybody likes to see his picture somewhere for something he accomplished," Johnson said. Most students said the idea helped them. "It makes me try harder to cut down on my mistakes," said Kim Funkhouser '81. "When we take timings, there is an atmosphere of competition," said Barb Cox '81. In such ways, students were provided with unusual challenges to master the practical arts. "You toss it like this," says instructor Jeff Haun as he demonstrates the art of Chinese cooking to Louis Ruiz in Advance Foods.

Cabinet making students built 12 cabinets for the office, the kitchen and the Spanish and art rooms, according to Jeff Haun, Industrial Arts Department chairman. "It was fun as well as good experience," said Rudy Gonzales '79. "For next year, I'm going to check about possibly making cabinets for places outside of the school," Haun said. The newly completed curriculum of semester courses in woods was just one way industrial arts teachers tried to meet the needs of more students.

"I like the programs because I enjoy making diversified things and I want to be an industrial arts teacher," said Paula Beam '80. As a girl taking industrial arts classes, Beam was not alone. About 15 percent of those enrolled were girls, according to Haun. "One of my best students is a female, and she is very capable of keeping up with the boys," said instructor Jack Boylan. Industrial arts teachers didn't make their classes eas ier for· girls. "The programs are planned on an equality basis, encouraging the student to do what he is capable of, regardless of sex," Beam said. ·\ • Careful observation is important for Terry Carberry as he works on the metal lathe.

(R IGHT) Class for cash and credit W anted: Students interested in good money, valuable work experience and academic credit. Students filling that bill enrolled in Distributive Education Clubs of America (DECA), Trades and Industry (T&I), and Coop Food Service classes. Each course offered class training and on-the-job experience. Coop Food Service, previously offered only at TJ, taught seniors about all areas of food service. Appearance and grooming, sanitation, and pest control were part of the curriculum. Several fast food outlets, grocery stores and restaurants employed the students. Grades students received were based on class and work efforts. Mary Siebrecht, Coop Food Service instructor, gave each student's supervisor an evaluation sheet, on which to rate promptness, responsiveness and cooperation. "Teamwork is the key to a good evaluation," said Judy Marshall '79. "When we are not busy, we are expected to help others w ith their work and never say 'that's not my job.' " Students were trained in more than one area of food service so they could work w here they were needed. This variety of experience helped several students with their career aspirations. " I took this course because I plan to be a restaurant manager," said LeRoy Davis '79. He had progressed from dishwashing to supervising in his job at Bishops. Other students had jobs prior to taking the class, but felt the course would improve their skills at work. " I took the class because I thought it would have a lot to do w ith my job of hostessing at Perkin's," said Tammie South 79. Such basic tenets as " the customer is always right" helped students d ea l w ith jo b situations. Although some people questioned the validity of giving academic credits for job experience, students liked the idea. "It's a good deal getting credits and money for working," said Cindy Heywood '79. And students believed they earned the credits they received. " If people work up to their ability, they should earn something," said South.

Construction of the house began Oct. 10 under the direction of Richard Buchanan, Career Center instructor, w ho also designed the house. Buchanan listed the advantages of a wood foundation as warmer, dryer basements, elimination of foundation settlings and lower cost. Students thought job openings would come sily because of their experience with the ~~oject. "Contractors from this area wi ll be looking for any of us when they need a wood fou ndation built," said Dan Grieder '79, Ca reer Building student, "because we'll be about the only ones around who w ill know how to build them." When the house was fin ished in Apri l, it was put on the open market to be sold by local realtors. Meanwhile, under another alternative learn ing program, students were getting help from six special education teachers. 56 alternative learning programs Because Publi c Law 94-142, which was passed last year, required public schools to develop programs to satisfy the needs of learning and physica lly disa bled stud ents, two new teachers were added to the Special Education Department. Since the law was enacted, the number of :tudents diagnosed w ith learning disabilities has increased, because teachers have been required to refer such students. " W e are forced to offer a program to meet the needs of any child " said Lucile Hoffman, counselor. ' In the specia l ed ucat ion program, eac h teacher could meet with a maximum of 18 students a day. Together, the six special education teachers saw 85 students per day. c:>ther t~d nt s were placed on a waiting list which continued to grow. It was estimated that there would be four new teachers and a new program next year, according to Hoffman. Other alternative learning programs offered to students included cos m etology classes at Stewarts, and child ca re and auto mechanics classes at Iowa Western.

Two puppets created by Drama I students carry on a conversation just as any flesh and blood people would. (BELO W) New approaches to self expressions D oing everything from squishing clay to rehearsing lines, fine arts students had a chance to ex press and share their individuality. An artist himself and a new teacher, Dave Williams shared his talent with his students in as many ways as possible. To demonstrate the techniques he taught, he brought finished works of his own. " Students are aware of the long process involved in art," he said, "but when they see a finished product, they get anxious to start." He taught his students that art relates to experiences, feelings, and activities. He made them aware, for example, that pinching, poking and twisting clay could be a way to release anger. Because he believed there was no right or wrong way to create art and because of the individuality of the subject, Williams gave each student personal time. "One to one is the way I prefer to teach," he said. "No two students have the same talent, so they deserve individual help." Throughout the year, students' best art pieces were saved for the art fair. The work they did was rewarded with 18 of the 30 first place prizes awarded to high school students. Ineluded in these awards was a Grand Champion awarded to Julie Ozaydin '80 for her pastel portrait of her br?ther. Other awards were given in areas from pnnts to ceramics. In the Drama Department, a new approach was taken in preparing for State Large Group Speech Contest. Theatre students from AL and TJ attended an all-day workshop in Al's auditorium the day before contest. Students from each school performed their contest material; then each performance was critiqued a!'ld discussed. " The workshop w as beneficial to both schools," said Jim Mimick drama instructor. "AL obviously profited as ~ received five I ratings and three outstandings." At contest students performed for an audience which included three judges. To receive a I rating or an outstanding rating, two out of three judges had to feel a perform ance deserved a first place or outstanding award. Students received I ratings for duet acting and mime, and outstanding ratings for one-act play, reader's theater and duet acting. Finished products, Grand Champion awards and I ratings were all rewards w hich art and drama students received for their ef fo rts through the year. OUTSTANDING RATED SPEECH AN D D RAMA STUDENTS.

"I think we need definite deadlines for assignments. "But what about the people w ho are slower than others?" argued one boy. "They shouldn't get penalized." Such conversations reflected student disagreement over the five-year old individualized program. A survey of three chemistry classes showed that two-thirds of the students preferred the individualized program. These students defended the program vigorously. "The individualized program allows the people who want to go ahead to do so," said Connie Sutherland '80. "The teacher is always there if you need help." Susan Tait '80, agreed. "Some people have the ability to go faster, and if you get stuck on a unit, you still have time to make it up, without getting really far behind," she said. Although a minority, students who disliked the program voiced their opinions strongly in lunch-time and lounge conversations or as they worked on difficult labs. "I think it shquld be a regular class," said Pam 60 science and math Acklie '80. " As it is now, too many people get a chance to procrastinate and to fail." Others agreed. "The individualized program makes it easier to jack around," said Teri M urray '80. "If chemistry was like other classes, I think it would be easier to understand." But teachers felt that the individualized class was advantageous because it didn't hold back those who could go faster or push those who were slower. Although students complained about the lack of deadlines and too few lectures, teachers pointed out that deadlines were given if requested and that in the past., students had complained of too many lectures. "It's hard to please them," said Dennis Schmoker, chemistry teacher. Although the department faced some complaint, the course was scheduled to remain individualized, much to students' like or dislike. The Math Department saw student interest grow enough to add a second calculus class and necessitate the purchase of a new digital computer. The computer aided in the teaching of programming because its terminals allowed four students to work at one time. "Are you sure it's right?"

Last fall, when physical fitness tests were first administered, this scene was a common occurrence in almost every P.E. class as students learned how out of shape they were. Student reaction to the tests varied. Some detested them . "Kids who can't do them get embarrassed and don't want to take gym at all," said Penny Poffenbarger '81. "They are impossible to achieve unless you're a superman," said Dan Jackson '80. But others actually enjoyed the tests. "I think they're good! You have to be in physical shape," said Pam Garrett '79.

But even Marsha Massih '80, who wore five patches on her coat, had mixed feelings about the tests. "I think they're a good id ea, but they show only your ability, not how much you try," she said. And many students didn't try. "Forty percent of the time, I tried to better myself and the other 60 percent, I just goofed around," said John Burke '80. But even when they knew students were trying, teachers questioned the value of the tests. "I really don't feel they're a real indication of physical fitness, because of the short tim e in class," said Argersinger. Instructor Kay Hatterman felt that one solution might be to set as id e two weeks to prepare for and take each test. P.E. instructors, on the whole, felt the tes ts should be continued.

At pep assemblies students saw team enthu siasm and spirit, as players gathered in the center of the gym, started chants, clapped hands, and stood in offensive and defensive formations . Out on the field, though, players worked for themselves instead of as a team, according to coaches. "Players worried about how many ya rd s they gained individually rather than what they co uld do as a tea m ," Ass istant Coach Mike Batten said. Players and coaches cited two other reasons for the poor record . Many said there wasn't enough dedica tion. "Everyone wanted to win, but they didn't want to do the hard work that went with it," said Cory Harter '79. According to Coach Gary Thompson, injuries were also a factor. Ja y Heiman '79, Mark Dix '81, Tom Schropp '80, and Kurt Jo nes '80, each missed some of the last four out of five gam es. The highlight of the season was the TJ game.

These games were typical of the JV-sophomore football season-sophs enthused, playing strong defense; junior varsity defeated, giving up. Although the sophs' 3-6 record wasn't a winning one, it was the best of the Lynx football teams. "The players had super attitudes and never quit," Coach Terrell Clinton said. Runaway losses such as 0-34 against Millard resulted, in part, because the team couldn't play well early in the game. "We could have done better if we had started playing in the first quarter," said Richard Simmons '81. But overall, sophomores were pleased with their season. "Even though I was disappointed with our record, I thought we had a good tea m . The reason we were able to win three games was because we rarely got down on ourselves," said Robin Swanson '81. The JV team, on the other hand, faced many morale problems. " The boys fell flat after the second game," said Coach Clark Allen. The JV team was the team no one wanted to play on, according to Allen, because the makeup of the team changed constantly, as juniors beat out seniors on varsity or replaced injured varsity players, leaving the JV with vacancies. Once, the team was left with only 15 players. "Many times, not having enough players hurt us" said Kevin Sass '81. According to coaches, both teams would have had better records if more boys had gone out. "There are a lot of boys walking these halls w ho should have gone out," Allen said. JV FOOTBALL.

" Although we goofed around a lot and talked to each other like sisters during practice, we got serious when we had to," said Kim Mann '79. Boys, on the other hand, admitted practices weren't serious enough, and their record showed it, listing only four wins out of nine matches. The highlight of the fall season was the Dodge Park Invitational, in which five golfers placed. Jeff Lytten '80, placed second; Randy Hobbs '79, fourth; Derek M cMains '8 1, tenth ; and Don Luckman '80 and Mike Schropp '79, ti ed for twelfth. On each team, one golfer stood out among the res t.

The Metro Tournament was one of those other times. Piles of decorations, new red cowboy hats and yells all the way to Omaha couldn't push the Lynx past Millard's strong spiking. They lost both games. " I think we got too fired up and broke our concentration," said Karen Sealock '80. Again before district play, enthusiasm was high. Knowing the addition of 74 new teams in Iowa would allow o nly one team from each district to go to State, the girls wanted to win more than ever. But their battle for districts was lost 2-3 against TJ. After losing the first two games, they rall ied 'to win the next two but by the deciding game, the pressure became too much. " W e got too emotional during the last game and after a few points went by, we lost control of the game mentally," said Zoe Hansen '79. But high spots dotted the season. Invited for the first time, the Lady Lynx entered the Des Moines East Tournament and brought home second place. " It was hard to get our blood circulating, but by afternoon we started building momentum and played together super well," said Susan Farrell 79.

Draper was largely responsible for Al 's early wins as she broke the School record by scoring 58 points against Oakland. But the team finally began to play together to provide an exciting week of wins against Lewis Central, TJ and Mo. Valley. Players agreed they won because they worked as a unit, with all three forwards gaining points instead of relying o n Draper. Nervous determination shows as Lisa Draper bites her l ip, preparing to shoot a free throw with St. Albert's Kelly Kenkle waiting for the rebound. Their most exciting game occurred that week against Lewis Central. W ith the Titanettes leading 73-72 and four seconds left in the game, Cory Peters '78, was fouled and given the chance for two points. She sank both baskets, to lead the Lady Lynx to a 74-73 win. VARSITY GIRLS' BASKETBALL " Lewis Central was our best game," said Zoe Hansen '79. "We knew most of the team personally, and it had been a long time since AL had beaten them." But the Lady Lynx didn't fare as well in sectionals, losing 64-79. "Lewis Central wanted revenge, and we just wanted another win," said Peters. "They played like they were o ut for blood." Other team members said disagreements between players were responsible for their poor performance at sectionals. Draper's never-say-die attitude conflicted with some girls' wi llingness to give up, according to players. But despite these troubles, Draper sustained her scoring average of 42.6, finishing the season sixth in state. "Lisa was the most devoted player o n the team. She would practice until 10 o'clock at night and come early every morning," said Nancy Goecke~ '79. Through her devotion, Draper won the sectional, district and regional free throwing contest, finally fin ishing sixth in state there also.

That spirit of competition between JV players helped make for a winning volleyball and basketball season. Girls came early and stayed late to practice, hoping to gain starting spots on the basketball team. Stephanie Peters '81, came every morning from 7 to 8 o'clock to shoot free throws. Fifteen out of 19 girls were rewarded for their efforts by being allowed to start at least once, and everyone got to play. The team ended with a 9-8 record, with their most exciting wins against TJ, 68-59 and 46-42. "I told the girls they each had to get at-least 20 points against TJ, and they got 23, 22, and 20," said Coach Robert Pettepier. "I think TJ was the best game because everyone averaged the same number of points, and we played as a team," said Linda Farrell '81, "but beating TJ is always a big thing." Spikers also put in extra hours of practice to improve their season. All the players stayed after scheduled practices to develop individual skills, according to Coach Ron Adams. At least ten girls played each game. Their devotion resulted in an early win against Millard, one of the best teams in their division. They beat them two straight games. "We were really psyched up when we met Millard because they were sure they were going to beat us with no trouble," said Amy Anderson '81. But the season ended on a disappointing note after an unexpected loss to Northwest. "We felt we were on an equal caliber with them," said Adams. "We had beaten the same teams, and after winning seven straight games, it was really a letdown." If the spikers had beaten Northwest, they would have been second in their division, but they ended their season third with a 7-4 record.

It was then that they beat Papillion and Harlan and al so becam e the first AL team in many years to be .500 at the middle of th e season. " We showed our desire to win and respect for each other in the Papillion game," said Mike Godfrey '80. "With three seconds left and d own by one, we could have given up, but we devised a play and won." Yet, the team compiled a record of 13 losses and only six wins. llcis in accounted for the losses, citing overpowering talent on the Metro team s. Northwest and Burke, for example, were Nebraska state contenders, and Northwest went on to take the state championship. But even against such teams, the boys gave respectable performances, losing to Northwest by only one and beating Burke by three. "They managed to keep their heads up. They went into tough games feeling they could win," llcisin said. "They never gave up." Yet the team was plagued by inconsistency, som etim es losing to easier opponents by as many as 20 points. When asked why, resigning Coach 11- cisin said, " If I knew the answer to that question, I'd still be coaching next year." The three team standouts were Shawn Palmer 79, Jeff Lytten '80, and Kent Beck '80. Palmer was selected to the Iowa Coaches Association AllStar Team.

I Most of the team's problems resulted from lack of experience. Half of the team was made up of sophomores. Like other JV squads, the team was at a disadvantage because m embers had to practice with varsity, and never really got to practice as a team. "We were sort of varsity's tools," Crowl said. "If varsity was going to play Millard, we would run Millard's plays, so they would be more fami liar with them." But despite the formidable obstacles facing them, the team improved, shortening their losing point spread from 20 against Prep to 4 against Northwest, and winning two out of their last four games. " The team improved 80 percent throughout the season," Nielsen said. After getting off to a 4-0 record, the sophomore team dropped seven out of their last nine games. According to Coach Terrill Clinton the reason for the late slump was the increasing toughness of opposing t~ams. Like the JV team, poor shooting plagued the sophomores, even though they spent 15 minutes to a half hour extra time o n it during daily practices. Another problem was failing to run the offensive plays as well as they thought they could have, as losses by as much as 33 points showed. But the downhill season didn't depress the sophs. During practices, players hustled and cheered each other on, and the coach reported they never got down on themselves. "The players never went into a game with a losing attitude," Clinton said. "They always went in thinking they could win." Poised high in the air, Todd Shanks attempts to pass the ball to teammate Rick Cochran as Benson defenders ready to intercept.

Support for the team improved steadily. "When we started winning, they decided they had better come and watch," said jess Randall '79. W restlers gave several reasons for their success. "We're really a tight squad," said Lanny D ingman '79. " W e're not just a conglomerate of athletes. We're friends and athletes." "The coach was great, he got alo ng with everyone and really motivated us," said Scott Harding '79. To most spectato rs, the Lynx mad e winning look easy. But behind the scenes, the preparations were grueling. After struggling through 50 sit-ups, 50 push-ups, 25 handstand push-ups and 25 buddy sit-ups, w restlers would practice takedowns, wrestle a match, work on the "tip of the day," and end practices by repeating their opening exercises. On three mornings each week, they ran for an hour in addition to p ractices. Knowing what lay ahead, most team members started getting into shape long before the season began. Many played other sports, ran on their own and lifted weights. Most had to lose weight as well as get into shape. To w~est ~ his ideal weight, Scott Buchholz '79, had to lose 18 pounds. " I ran wrth five pairs of sweats on and d idn't eat for two days," he said. S~ch work and devotion helped send six wrestlers to state.

Opponent schools had their own pools, enabling them to average an hour and a half of practice in the morning and two hours in the afternoon. "Since we get only one hour of practice a day, it's hard to compete with teams that get twice as much," said Rick Gilson '80.

From September through April, bowlers paid $2.50 a week for an hour and a half on the lane. The average bowler spent $80 a year to participate. "I think it's kind of expensive, but if you enjoy it, it's worth the money," said Ruth Lynn '79. M ost felt that bowling had a more relaxed atmosphere than other sports. Bowlers were able to joke around and have fun with the opposing teams. " You're not out for blood like the rest of the sports are," said Beth Pettepier '79. "We goofed around a lot with our opponents." But the relaxed atmosphere didn't keep Al's teams from capturing top honors. Team I, made up of Paula Franz '79, Sherri Matthew s '79, and Pettepier, brought home the girls' first place trophy and the high team series of 1842 pins.

Cloudy skies threatened rain again and again as volleys were returned and points gained. The weather prevented many practices and cancelled or postponed at least three matches. " It's hard to play in strong wind and cold weather," said Matt Crowl '80. But bad weather couldn't prevent a girls' winning record of 9-2. The girls agreed that Marian was their best match. "We wanted to beat them since they'd beaten us last year and the year before for the Metro Championship," said Lisa Draper '79. But Marian was important for another reason. It was Coach Jan Lyle's one hundredth win in her coaching years, w hich brought her overall record to 100 wins, 23 losses, and two ties. " It' s been just super!" said Susa n Farrell '79. "I think the communication and team unity has been great. We've had a lot of depth." Such team unity was shared by the boys. "We got along great together," said David Urich '79. "Our only conflicts were over choosing which tapes to play on our way to away matches." The boys agreed their best match was the city tournament, where they took the title. Mike Hansen and Matt Crowl took first and second place in singles and Mike Buckmaster and David Urich took third place in doubles.

"Mr. Haun works on form the most because once we have form, we can do better," said Sheila VanArsdol '81. For both teams, it was a year of learning the basics. The boys needed to rebuild after losing eight key seniors last year. This lack of experience made for a mediocre year in which only a 3-6 record was obtained. Lack of depth and experience also hurt the girls, who didn't have enough people to run in the one and two-mile relays and were unable to win a single meet. Although their records didn't show it, runners worked hard to psyche themselves up for yvinning. " I would sit and listen to Styx for about two hours before I had to go to a meet, or the night before a meet. It helped me to time myself," said Bill Rance 79. "I will sit and tell myself, 'Well, I' ve practiced hard on this, and I am going to win,' /1 said Pam Coleman '79. Haun spoke well of his team's efforts. "The spirit was good. The girls had a lot of ambition and put it all on the line. They were willing to work hard ." Working hard and building spirit paid off as several tracksters made strong individual improvements. Carter Weitz '81 , knocked almost a minute off his time in the two-mile, improving from his first run of 11 :30 to his last run of 10:34.

Facing a season of 24 regular games, one tournament and the state qualifying rounds, the softball team planned to rely on five returning varsity players and four who moved up from last year's junior varsity. They knew one of their strongest assets would be the hitting of Beth Pettepier '79, and Lisa Draper '79. Their batting averages were .329 and .325 respectively from last year's season, which ended with an 18-10 record. Defensively, first baseman Lori Van Pelt '79, brought to the new season a record of six double plays and fewer errors than any other girl who handled the ball consistently. According to Coach Bob Pettepier, the team's speed would also account for many wins, with four underclassmen, Linda Farrell '81, Patty Holeton '81, Lori Gigliodoro '80, and Lorrie Scott '80, running the bases. Pettepier predicted cautiously that the team could easily break a .500 season, but team members expressed greater confidence about their season. "We should have a strong team this year," said Draper. "If we improve in each game, by the end of the season, we should have a good shot at making it to State." The team's biggest battle would be against pitching inexperience. Scott and Denise Allmon '81, fought for the pitching position, one playing varsity and the other playing JV. Neither of the girls had any varsity playing time.

In a jam against Central, Allen Wilson tries to get out of his slump after walking two batters. With only one returning starter, they had to correct some serious problems. Early in the season, poor batting foiled them, but they soon licked the problem with extra practice. Their efforts paid off as they shut out Cathedral 8-0 and Tech 11-0, in a late season double header, scoring all 11 runs in only three innings.

"When we cut down on mental mistakes, we made fewer errors," said Jay Heiman 79. " Instead of eight or nine errors a game, w e cut them down to two or three." Because they were forced to play sophomores on varsity, the team had to work together to develop the talent of these young players. Both Kevin Stopak '81, and Robert Christensen '81 learned to play with fewer errors. " I was really pleased with how well the younger players d eveloped as the season went on," said Coach Ron Adams. Senior leadership, according to teammates, helped the younger players adjust. "If I made a mistake, a senior would tell m e not to let it bother me," Stopak said. "It made me feel better, so I played better." Pitching was one of the team's greatest assets, according to Adams. Chuck Hayes 79, started off slowly with an 0-4 pitching record, but he improved to finish with a 4-5 record. In a rain shortened three-inning game against Tech, Hayes struck out all nine batters. Against Cathedral, Allen Wilson '80, struck out 13 batters and went on to achieve a 4-2 record. Like the varsity, the JV team suffered from errors and inexperience. Although the team, comprised almost entirely of sophomores, made fewer errors as the season went on, they could compile o nly a 1-7 record. Most players attributed their losses to severe defeats earl y in the season. "Losses like 8-1 and 7-0 really lowered o ur mo rale," said Todd Madsen '81.

The big winners turned out to be 14 carefree players who called themselves Highway 61 and won the championship title in a see-saw battle against the Cheezy Riders. But almost all the players felt they were winners as members of an intramural team. Lanny Dingman '79, of Highway 61 said it best: "You don't have to win to have a good time." And having a good time was what it was all about. To keep fun in the games, many standard procedures were thrown out and rules were relaxed. "When we wanted to play, we would just yell at someone," said Steve Benton '79. "If he didn't come out, when he went by, we would just pull him off the court." Teams cooked up their own special way to add laughs and build team spirit. The Cheezy Riders assigned nicknam es like Fuzzy and Cheezy, and Highway 61 held regularly scheduled parties to help unite their team. " After every game, we would find a house to go to and sit down with some beer and talk about the game," said Phil Thomas '79. Each team had their own most memorable game. For the Spurs it was loosing to the Cheezy Riders 101 to 26. For the Cheezy Riders and Highway 61, it turned out to be the 43 to 38 championship battle after which the losers, Cheezy Riders, bought a keg for Highway 61 victors. Boys gave various reasons for joining an intramural team . Some were already out for another sport. "I went out for wrestling and couldn't practi ce for the basketball team, too," said Bill Meadows '79. " lntramurals let me play without the hassle." For most intramural players, work was a top priority, and their long job ho urs didn't allow them time for varsity basketball. " I just didn't have time to work and practice too," said Benton. "With intramurals, you only practice w hen you want to." Others said they just didn't have the talent for interscholastic ball. " I knew I wasn't good enough for varsity basketball. There were so many guys out better than I was that I just would have ended up sitting on the bench al l the time," said Chris Higginbotham '81. "Intramural ball gave me a chance to play." Whatever the reason, the low pressure, all-out-good-time intramural idea helped make the school year special for 55 boys.

An additional cost of $2.25 per player covered an association patch and registration, according to Spooner. Members also bought their own uniforms and cleats. But plans for Al's team were almost cut short when legal responsibility for accidents became an important question. Soccer players were originally told by Athletic Director Don Moxley that they couldn't work out in the halls or dress in the locker rooms. Soccer Club president Shawn Gibson '80, said the problem arose because of school liability if someone were hurt. Eventually the problem was solved when a constitution was written releasing the school from all liability. Permission had to be given if the soccer team wanted to practice at school due to conflicts in using the Valley View playing field. Ninety-minute practices w ere held on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at Valley View Park.

Sanford and Darrell Fauble '79, also captured first place medallions in the girls' and boys' 50-yard dash with times of 7.6 and 6.1 seconds. In the 220-race, Fauble and Sam Richardt '81, nabbed first places in two age groups, as Tom Kron '81, snared the gold medallion in the softball throw. "The students were really up when they came back," said Twila Pettit, special education instructor. " The anticipation for next year is great and the students' attitude is 'I know how I can improve myself.'" After state competition, first place winners had a chance to be one of the 50 Iowans who traveled to Brockport, New York, for the national Special Olympics. Special education instructors and coordinators believed that after competing and winning in the Olympics, students gained a more positive attitude toward their studies. "It has given them a little motivation for life, and that motivation carries over into the academic aspects," said Bob Ro sie, Bluffs physical education consultant. One, Two, Three-go!

Jerked out of sleep, a disheveled girl rose to dress quickly in her red, white and blue uniform. Shw was at school by 7:15, ready to start practice. Such was the average cheerleader's routine on tri-weekly practice mornings. Cheerleaders spent as much as 20 hours a week practicing, attending games and arranging outside activities for athletes. They devised events such as a come-as-youare breakfast and a spaghetti dinner for varsity football players and a barbecue dinner for the volleyball team. "I thought the dinner was great. It was really nice of the cheerleaders to give it to us," said Susan Farrell '79, volleyball player. Cheerleaders also spent time learning new cheers introduced at camp where they won six awards. "The cheers were short, so the crowd would cheer with us," said Jill Searcy '79. " We used more boogie moves, not just stiff movements," said Captain Cathy Sealock '79. To pay for new uniforms and decorations for let~s hear it f • the football field, cheerleaders arranged moneymaking projects such as car washes and bake sales. They tried to promote school spirit by wearing red or blue cowboy hats. "The hats were something different from past years," Searcy said. Yet with all the time cheerleaders spent, they felt students didn't understand how many hours they worked. "We kept pushing ourselves; we didn't let the feeling of tiredness show through," Sealock said. But most cheerleaders thought the time was well spent. "When you see everyone get involved, the time and effort are worth it," said Ellen Hansen '80. "I'd really be bored if I didn't have games to cheer at, and practices and different activities to go to," said Tracy Brummer '81. For a cheerleader, then, the day often ended as a tired girl wearily lifted her legs up the stairs after a long bus ride home and at last crawled in her bed at midnight. CHEERLEADERS.

Fulltime- not just halftime I n a spectrum of red, white and blue, 20 pairs of porn pons swished to the beat, and 40 legs kicked in unison as porn pon girls boogied into staggered lines and V shapes. It all looked so easy. But performances were only a small part of being on the squad. Most students never saw the girls stumble into practice at 7 o'clock every morning, and dance for an hour while wrestlers ran around them and basketball players shot through them. "There's much more to porn pon than simple arm movements and ball changes," said Julie Madsen '80. Prior to early morning practices, several girls would spend up to 20 hours selecting music and choreographing each dance. Then ca me the hard part-teaching. Frustrating commands filled the gym ... "Keep your arms straight! ... Turn your heads . . . Come on, get into it!" The squad often had to perform at several basketball games a week. "It really gets tough when you have to make up two or three dances 114 porn pons in one week," said Shelly Hunter '81. To learn new dances, most of the squad attended an Iowa State University summer camp. Each girl paid $60 for the week. The squad was split into groups, each learning four dances. But the dances were taught so quickly that the girls forgot many of them by the time school began. After such effort, the girls were disheartened by complaints that they used the same steps over and over. "People should stop criticizing long enough to realize how hard it is to make up dances between every home game," said Toni DiBlasi '80. With all the hard work and criticisms, the girls needed encouragement. Everyone agreed sponsor Carol Murray provided that better than anyone had in the last three years. Murray went to almost every practice and supported the squad at games and parades. "She's filled with enthusiasm and cheerfulness that helps all of us realize that someone does appreciate what we are doing," said Julie Oden '79.

PePPY start soon turns sour B leachers wobbled at Creighton Prep's field as Pep Club members flashed red, white and blue porn pons, stomped, and shouted " Let's Get Rowdy," convincing the crowd looking on that an enthused Pep Club had finally been started. But a few months later, only three members cheered at the home basketball game against Gross, their presence almost unnoticed. Just as past years' Pep Clubs had faded out after the first few football games, the '78-'79 club wasn't any different, despite unusual motivation and enthusiasm from new sponsor Vanessa Wright. By basketball season, members had dwindled to less than half of the original 42. Members who remained active w ere disappointed in those who left. "I don't like it. If they didn't want to stick with it, they had no business joining," said Debbie Telpner '79. But remaining members kept busy. Because a system of rewards had been used successfully at her school, Wright introduced a po int system here. Members received 20 points fo r each 116 pep band, pep club game they attended, 15 points for each club meeting and 25 points for each event such as a play or open house. A trip to Worlds of Fun rewarded each member who earned 2500 points by May. To earn money for the trip, members peddled everything from football butto ns and basketball ribbons to candles, baked goods and a D ecember movie, " The Doberm an Gang." " W e've been really busy this year; last year w e hardly did anything," said Cherry Lieber '79. While Pep Club kept busy, Pep Band held practices every Tuesday after school during basketball season to be ready to entertain the crowds at all home sports events. " It's fun, and it gets you into the game," said Peggy Rickert 79. When members weren't practicing o r performing, they helped raise money by selling items from a gift boo k, and cheese and sausage from Hickory Farms. Proceeds went toward items for the band and a trip to Adventure Land at the end of the year. ,, Thundering sounds reverberate through the gym as Sandra DeWitt pla ~s the .tuba during a basketball pep rally.

" and "Take a number, I'm next in line to talk to Smoley!" created chaos in room 224 as yearbook and newspaper staffs rushed to meet deadlines. Deadlines proved to be the main problem of the inexperienced newspaper staff. "Some kids just don' t real ize the importance of deadlines," said assistant editor Kelly Hamilton '79. " In some classes, students can get by with turning in assignments late, but in newspaper, a deadline is your last chance." Others expressed different views. "We' re close to each other, and it's hard to reprimand a friend for putting things off," said editor Lynn D amme '79. Deadlines were especiall y tense because the staff wanted to live up to the All-American Award, which arrived in October, honoring the '78 staff. " I felt great when I heard about the award . We worked hard and deserved it," Hamilton said. Several believed the All-American should be a goal again. "We have the potential, but if some don't start getting excited and making All-American their goal, we don't have a chance," said sports editor Carrie Ballenger '79. In March, the staff was awarded its second AllAmerican. Soon after the rating arri ved, three staffers won National Key writing awards, and together, the newspaper and yearbook staffs won 28 awards at Northwest Missouri State University' s J-Day. " We were thrilled w hen everything came together after a rough year," said Kathy Irwin, National Gold Key w inner. " The Crimson and Blue" received a first class rating for the second year. " I think the staff can be proud," said advisor Linda Smoley. " I think the competition is even stiffer in yearbooks than in newspapers." The yearbook staff also had difficulties w ith deadlines. " Changing our copy from single to double column made fitting pi ctu res difficu lt and doing our ow n headlines took more time," said co-editor Denise Peters '79. But even w ith deadline fru strati ons, staffers felt their work was rewarding. " Know ing people were reading what I wrote made me fo rget all the problems," said yearbook sports editor Nancy Goecker ' 79.

(R IGHT) I A new home away f·rom home T housands of miles from home, fQreign exchange students gazed down from 30,000 feet in the air to glimpse their first sight of the U.S. After exchange students arrived in Iowa, Foreign Student Club helped them adjust. Some adjustments were easy. "I was used to going to school on Saturday in Switzerland and the first Saturday here, I had to find something to do," said Steve Huber '79. Other adjustments weren't as pleasant. "The pace around school is too fast. We had 45 minutes for lunch in Denmark, and here there's only 20 minutes," said Lone Nielsen '79. "People in school here are also more formal with teachers," Neilsen said. "In Denmark we call teachers by just their first or last name, never Mr. or Mrs." But one student detected a relaxed atmosphere. "The whole school is like one big family, because of so many activities," Huber said. To learn as much as possible about the U.S., Foreign Student Club encouraged students to participate in extracurricular activities. For example, Birgitta Rindborg '79, joined the cast of the musical as an Ozian, and Marie Dahl '79, started her first bowling season with an average of 94. "Here I belong to more organizations, like Key Club and a youth group at church," Huber said. "People in Switzerland usually don't belong to so many organizations." "I go to debate tournaments here, and at home we don't even have debate and speech contests," Nielsen said. Another activity they enjoyed was their first Thanksgiving dinner, which Foreign Student Club provided. Foreign Student Club included exchange students in other activities, such as their room at the Squirrel Cage Jail Haunted House, where they placed first, winning $600. The prize money was used for Christmas Dance decorations and band. Profits from the dance and other projects helped support the exchange student program. "I really appreciate what AL does for foreign students," Nielsen said. Eyes wide open, Birgitta Rindborg allow Patti Ryerson to apply eye liner for " The W izard of Oz."

Colorado Springs was the site of a Key Club conference. Members who could afford it went for a weekend to listen to speakers and hold panel discussions. Winding down the slopes provided relaxation afterwards. For the first time in Al's history, the club had a district ,governor, Terry Duermyer '79. He set up a Ralston Key Club and helped organize the Nebraska-Iowa District Convention in Omaha, arranging accommodations, meals, entertainment and speakers. " I felt pretty proud about being elected," Duermyer said. Key Club served the school and community. Twice a month they manned Jennie Edmundson's front desk and once a month they cleaned the Masonic Temple after blood donations. For Al 's new entrance, they purchased $170 worth of rosebud trees. To rai se money, they sold M & M's and raffled off a tape player. Many Key Club members found they grew as 122 courtesy, key clubs they met new people and learned how to get along with others. Going to parties was a good way to get to know others, whether they attended the first year anniversary of Ralston's Key Club or met downtown Kiwanis. "I wasn't so nervous; I found myself opening up to people better," said Kim Hinman '80. Though Key Club members found the club exciting, they heard others put it down. "I wish the kids wouldn't knock it because most of them don't know what it is about," said Duermyer. While Key Club was serving the school and community, Courtesy Club remained the official hostesses for the school. At Open House, thirtytwo girls showed parents to their child's next class and brought goodies to teachers who were stuck in their rooms. They also ushered and handed out programs at plays. The girls were always ready to help, usually with warm, friendly smiles. "We grow to appreciate people more," said Debbie Coffey '79, "and serving seems to put ourselves and the people we usher into a good mood for the activity."

French Club, for example, sampled unusual delicac ies ranging from snails to cherry-filled crepes, at the French Cafe. " I thought the atmosphere was really neat," said Marsha Massih '80. "The waiters were French and food was prepared with many different sauces." German Club also experienced lea rning through foods as they tasted meringue cookies and cake made w ith coffee grounds at their Christmas party. Music provided another look at foreign cultures. French Club members attended a rock concert at UNO, featuring Beauso leil Broussard. Sponsored by the National Theater of the Performing Arts, Ltd., the group had won a Prix de la Jeune Chanson (French Grammy) and had a number one album for eight months. M embers also watched French-Ca nadian dancers at the Civic Auditorium. " It was educational and interesting to learn Canadian history through folk dances," said Mary Ann Knott '81 . Spanish Club experienced a touch of Spain when they saw Mexican flam enco dancers perform at Boystown. Creating a spherical Mexican pinata form ed with balloons, w ire and brightly-colored crepe paper for their Christmas party, mem bers learned about Mexican traditions. " It was just a big ball w ith Merry Christmas in Spanish o n it and filled with candy," said Derek M cMains '81. "The funniest part was when Jeff Ouren about hit Mr. Lara when he swung at the pinata." In addition to educational activities, French, Spanish and German Clubs enjoyed outings just: for the fun of them. French Club, for example, went ice-skating at Ak-sar-ben. " It was fun because we chased each other all around the rin k, and I was the only one who had skated before," said Teresa Clark '81. Spanish Club's initiation w as filled w ith fun when new members were required to dance a solo for 30 seconds or eat baby food. "Ever - body felt pretty embarrassed, especially the ones who had to dance, but most of the people hammed it up," said Kathy Shill '81.

As the doors open, they hear only the tapping of typewriters, the clicking of computer keys and the hushed silence of an office busy at work. They have entered the world of big business, even if only as observers. Field trips, such as this one to Woodmen Tower, allowed members of Future Secretaries of America to view the world of business. "There's more to an office than I thought," said Jennifer Christians '80. " The number of machines surprised me." Before the trip, Pat Hood, a publi c relatio ns person from Nebraska College of Business, talked to the club about finding jobs. To earn money,. members sold candles and jewelry at Christmas.

We'll do anYthine to get to Chicai!o D reams turned into reality as Science Club members trecked to Chicago for a long awaited tour of famous museums. To raise money for the trip, members set off on a fund raising spree not equaled in years by a club of their size. They washed cars; raffled huge, homebaked, heart-shaped cakes; sponsored the zany Jerry Lewis movie, " Three On A Couch"; and sold Valentine ca rn at i o n s bearing romantic messages. " I really like the different activities," said Colleen Lyon '79. " It feels good to be supported by students instead of going into the community to ask for money or using our own money." On the trip, members toured the Museum of Science and Industry, the Field Museum, a planetarium and an aquarium on March 30, 31 and April 1 . " It was so much at once, so much to be learned," said Kathy Fennell '79. "And Chicago is a different world from any place around here. It was a great experience." The club also enjoyed the outdoors together. One night, they waited six hours by a fire on Kathy Fennell's farm for stubborn stars to come out. Another time, they used the farm's gentle hills and pastures for sledding. Not as active as Science Club, Electronics Club members studied ham radios in an effort to get their licenses. Members also studied computer programming and toured local radio station KQ98 for a behind-the-scenes look at electronics. " I joined the club to learn," said Kevin Maurice '81 , "and I am learning."

(RIGHT) learning the art . of communication W andering through unfamiliar halls covered with posters boasting Yellowjacket fame, Student Council members toured rival TJ. Instituted by Superintendent Raj Chopra, the exchange gave members a chance to experience life at TJ and to open communications between schools. "It was a good way to get better student relationships because it helped break the ice, and at least the students got to know each other," said Cory Peters '81. But communication between the AL Student Council and its own student body wasn't f$OOd. According to a random poll, only three out of 30 students were aware of the council's activities. "If they do something, they ought to report it. Otherwise, as far as anybody knows, they're not doing anything," said Peggy Rickert '79. Homeroom reports were supposed to be made after each Student Council meeting, but few of the members actually reported. " There are three Student Council members in m y homeroom and they don't report anything," said Julie Smith '81.

" Some students go to the meetings, and that's as far as it goes," said Susan Farrell '79, Student Council president. "If members aren't excited about something themselves, they don't talk about it." Other members said they weren't organized to inform students. " If we distributed the minutes, the interested student w ould find out what we're doing," said John Jones '80. Debate Club, on the other hand, practiced the art of communication successfully as they debated energy and won nine trophies in tournaments. "Debating helps you learn a lot about the government," said Bernie Duis '80. Competing against up to 50 teams in a tournament, junior varsity debaters won one second and two third places, and novice w on tw o first places, one second, one fourth and two sixth places. "I think we reall y had an exceptional team overall this year," said Marsha Sigler, sponsor.

Moneyraising brought man y fru stration s. Members spent a day decorating the auditorium for a junior high disco. " We even had a mirrored ball and a light show," said John Burke '80. But only 40 attended, giving Thespians a profit of a mere $40. In another unsuccessful effort, members sold ti ckets for two evening shows of " Tommy," hoping for a large profit. But the crowd was so small that after paying for the film, Thespians made no profit at all. They also gave a children's birthday party, complete w ith clown costumes and entertainm ent, but it didn't get advertised enough to make much money. " It wasn't successful, mainly because people didn't do their job," said Michelle Arterburn '80. Finally, there was enough money for o nly eight members to go to M inneapolis. They toured the Guthrie Thea tre and attended a workshop by the Orrea M ime Troupe. They saw plays such as "Camelot" and "What's up yours, Doc?" produced by theatre wo rkshops. "I learned a lot of things about the theatre. We met a mime artist who taught us techniques," said Penny Poffenbarger '81. Th espians also toured junior high s, performing scenes from the all-school play to promote the Drama Department. Some Thespians also ushered over a dozen tim es at the Orpheum, viewing plays and stars, such as "The Wiz," and Hal Holbrook. "I felt important to be around international stars," said Pam Acklie '80. Although National Honor Society was less active than Thespians, they tried new activities. "We wanted to help the school and do omething besides being on the record," said Jim Atkinson '79. Members baked over 400 cupcakes and charged students for a signed Christmas message sent with each cupcake. Their profits helped NHS contribute $25 to the Goodfellows, $25 to the Salvation Army and close to $-WO to the school shrubbery fund. thespians, national honor society 133 SWING CHOIR.

But for Swing Choir such performances were cut from almost 50 last year to between 15 and 20 this year. The decrease was due, in part, to fewer requests for performances from Council Bluffs organizations.

You never expect 1t to happen again, because it's a once in a lifetime experience," said Letha Hansen '80. Such were the impressions of the three AL orchestra members who advanced to All-State. To advance to All-State, members had to compete with over 6000 students for one of 205 chorus, band and orchestra places. "If you want to make All-State, you have to practice as much as you possibly can," Hansen said. Competition became easier for Terry Crompton '80, as he advanced to All-State for the second year in a row. "The second year, going to All-State was more like something I had to do than an honor," Crompton said. "Yet, I was impressed with the talent up there." Cathy Fletcher '80, violinist, also advanced to State. "It was great to be with people from all over the state," Fletcher said. "It was amazing to see students playing such difficult music." Orchestra members also prepared music for the Scholarship Concert. The profits gained provided a scholarship for a senior musician to be selected by orchestra members. In addition to preparing for All-State and the Scholarship Concert, the orches tra provided music for "The Wizard of Oz." Members practiced for a month before joining evening play rehearsals. "It was a challenging experience. W e practiced for 30 hours in addition to practicing during class," said Stephanie Peters '81 . Although not in the limelight as often as orchestra, Sophomore Ensemble, a group of 35 sophomores who worked together outside of their regular choir classes, also spent time preparing for concerts. They performed only a few times because they didn't organize until January. They sang at Baccalaureate and the Spring Concert. In addition to singing with Sophomore Ensemble, seven girls perform ed in a group they formed in junior high. Calling themselves the Entertain ers, they sang at luncheons, reunions and talent shows. "We've been singing together for two years because we enjoy going out and singing for people," said Jackie Gioiello '81 . The Entertainers hoped to make a record at the end of the year.

His body sways as he eases into the concrete formation resembling a half pipe. Sizzling wheels plunge rapidly into the bowl, as he goes around and around at Concrete Wave's wild terrain on 84th and Grover. Nick's interest in skateboarding began in 1976, when neighborhood kids were riding them. He built his first skateboard of wood and roller skates. After practicing in his basement to keep his balance, Nick began practicing once every three weeks at Concrete W ave. But transportation confined him to neighborhood hills and schoolNick Kurt has a great time on his yards for daily two-to-three hour practices. Finally, last summer, he built a plywood ramp in his backyard. "I built it because it gave me more variation than street skating," Nick said. By looking at magazines and television and by watching other skaters, Nick learned stunts such as the Gorilla Grip, in w hich the skater takes his shoes off, grabs each end of the skateboard with his toes and jumps in the air. Nick tried teaching his mother and sisters to skateboard, but they didn't get the hang of it. "Mostly all it takes is practice, if you have the balance," Nick said. Because Nick had to pay $150 for two skateboards, he began building and selling boards for extra money. 11 1 sell them for $15 to $20, depending on how much time I put in," he said. As snow and ice covered the Wave during winter, Nick said he just dreamed about the spring. sophomores 147 Dawn Ri ckabaugh Raymond Ri ef Eileen Rin g Chu ck Rodenburg John Rogers Nancy Rogic T o ny Rois Tracy Ronnfeldt G ail Roush D enise Ro y er Conn er Ryan K evin Sass Pat Sc h erle Chris Schulz Kent Schupp Li sa Schwarzkopf Kar en Seid el Jerry Seyler T odd Sh anks Troy Shaw Julie Sh ea Ros ie Sh ea T ara Sh erman K athleen Shill Dani elle Shoe m a k er Ri c h ard Simm o ns Ja mes Sinn ott Tammy Slavin Jodi Smith Lau ra Smith Mark Smith Me lody Smith 148 sophomores Nature girl J ennifer Kinney '81, is more at home in the woods than in her living room watching television. Jenny has been a Girl Scout for nine years, serving as a group counselor at Camp Neyati for the last four years. Activities at the camp continue through the year, so instead of spending winter hours in front of the TV, Jenny braves the outdoors to camp and teach basic camp skills, such as building a fire, cooking, and identifying birds and animals. "I think it's really satisfying to help little kids learn something," Jenny said. On winter weekend campouts, Jenny's girls sing folk songs around the campfire, roast marshmallows, sled and just have a good time. "With the challenge it provides to keep warm, and the opportunity it offers to get away from it all, winter camping gives me a feeling of independence," Jenny said.

Two months atter the fall, she was practicing eight to ten hours a week at Skate Town in Omaha. That summer, Cathy began competitive skating and has been competing for four years. She has won 15 trophies, 28 medals and 5 plaques, ranging from first to third place. In June of 1974, Cathy began taking lessons once a week. "My mom thought it was a passing phase," she said, "but she knew I was serious when I began going to the rink six times a week." Cathy sa id she likes skating because she can incorporate music, dance and athletic ability in one sport. "I didn't have the time or money to take lessons for all three, but skating gave me a chance to do them all," she said. Cathy also said she enjoys the recognition she receives as a skater. " When I was in grad e school, I played the violin, but no one seemed interested," Cathy said. "Competitive skating, on the other hand, is something many people admire." Skating has given Cathy a chance to travel widely. She has competed in Indiana, Texas and Colorado. Of her first trip to St. Paul, Minnesota, Cathy said, "I think I was more intrigued with the trip than the skating." Cathy looks forward to competing in the nationals before going to college, where she plans to major in fashion designing o r music. 150 juniors Karen Belt Lori Berg Denise Black Don Blakeman April Bolton Craig Bothwell Roy Boyden Rhonda Bozek Cindy Brandon Lori Brooks Mike Brown Robin Brown Scott Brown Teresa Brown Jeanne Brunow Mike Buckmaster Bonita Burke John Burke Teri Burke Julie Button Barb Cain Dan Cain Luann Camp Ron Carberry Steve Carberry Penny Cary Lori Ceder Dana Chapman Lisa Christenson Jennifer Christians Cath•y Christiansen Dustin Christiansen Sharon Coenan Rhonda Cox Terry Crompton Matt Crowl Blair Cudmore Jane Dale Maggie Daley Bill Denny Toni DiBlasi Susan Dressel Dan Driver Doug Driver Bernie Duis Brenda Duncan Christy Durham Steve Eicher M ark Eigan Kathy Embry Julie Espinosa Susan Eyberg Sherri Fay Jim Ferguson Penny Flanery Cathy Fletcher janice Fl inn Cesar Flores Scott Fort All ison Gates Darcy Gearhart Shawn Gib on Lori Gigliodoro Charles Gilbert juniors 151 Single ring ceremony ends on '' I n this corner, wearing red and white, weighing 119 pounds is the winner of the Junior Golden Gloves . . . " Rick Scott '80, has heard that introduction many times. A boxer since the third grade, Rick started on a team sponsored by the Optimist Club. When he reached the fifth grade, his dad, a newcomer to boxing, started coaching him. They spent 12 hours a week building Rick's endurance. "Dad is behind me and boxing," Rick said, " but he doesn't want me to get serious." Rick plans to follow his dad's advice and not go pro, even though he has won 80 of the 100 matches he has boxed, captured the 1978 championship and placed twice as junior state runner-up. Rick is usually nervous when he enters the ring, but he said those feelings disappear when the bell rings. "All I think about is winningwhat I'm going to do next and how to do it," Rick said. Amidst the ringside shouting, he hears only his parents, who come to every match they can, yelling support as loudly as possible. "They make me want to try harder," Rick said.

They quieted to listen to Randy Utterback '80, play folk tunes on his guitar. His mellow sounds could be heard in a number of places ... in a warm, sunny park on a Sunday afternoon, at a good friend's party on a Friday night, or at home on a relaxing evening. Listeners said Randy has a natural way with music. " He's free with his music . . . really relaxed and natural," said Julie Oden '79. Although he took guitar lessons in 1971 and continued them for three years, Randy plays mostly by ear. "After three years of practice, playing started to come naturally," he said. Music provides a way of expressing feelings that I couldn't express any other way," he said. To express his unique feelings, Randy has composed five songs dealing with past experiences. One song expressed his regrets about a girl he met, but whose name he never kn ew. His interest in guitar was inspired by Johnny Cash and Glen Campbell, who play acoustic guitars. "I like the sound of acoustic rather than electric guitars because they have a more mellow sound," Randy said. "I'm just a flat-top picker." In addition to guitar, Randy plays fiddle, banjo, piano, harmonica and clarinet. He has played the guitar since he was six, and the fiddle since he was ten. "He can play anything he picks up," Steve Owen '79, said of Al's music man.

Dan Wohlers '80, is ready to meet his Judo competitor. He bows and the contest begins. As Dan throws his opponent into the air, the foe falls, smacking the Tatami. After holding his contestant's body still for 30 seconds, Dan is declared the Amateur Athletic Union Champion. Such wins are not unusual for Dan, a brown belt in Judo. Dan has been the Midwest Champion, and the second runner-up in the Junior Olympics. "I was looking for the gold medal, and I got the silver," Dan said. Nervous before each match, Dan gets psyched up to win. "I get butterflies," he said, " so I warm up and think about winning." Involved in Judo for ten years, Dan has traveled to New York, California, Colorado, Indiana and several midwestern states to compete. " I love the competition, I love to win, and I love to travel," he said. Dan's dad missed the chance to be involved in Judo himself, so he got Dan started. "Dad wishes he would have done it," Dan said. "He loves the sport." One reason Dan has stayed with Judo is his dedication to his instructor, Lou Carta. " Lou has taught me everything," Dan said. " I'm still perfecting some of the thousand possible throws." His ultimate goal is to become a m ember of the Pan American team, to travel around the Flipping Lou Carta is Dan Wohlers' way of practicing for a black belt at Iowa Western world and to be a champion.

Seated tensely in the saddle, gripping the reins in one hand and a lasso in the o ther, Scott Brooks watches the calf race out of the shoot. Scott springs out of the box, his horse following every move the calf makes. After lassoing the calf, Scott jumps off his horse and flips the struggling animal over on its side, tying three of its legs together with one hand. All this takes place in less than 12 seconds. Although Scott started calf roping only three and a half years ago, he has always admired rodeo cowboys. " I always wanted to be like Walt Garrison, a professional cowboy," he said. Practicing three hours every day from April through November has paid off. Scott has placed in the top six in half of the 25 rodeos he has entered. Although only top rodeo cowboys make large sums of money, Scott still wants to make rodeoing a career. " I want to be a rodeo cowboy for the glory, not the money," he said.

Kim has participated in golf since 1976, when, as the only girl on her Longfellow team, she picked up pointers through an adult education course. Since then, Kim has won over 20 awards, broken two city tournament records and become the first Council Bluffs girl to win Metro. " I get nervous before matches, and I don't sleep the night before," she said. Because she puts too much pressure on herself, she said art has provided a release. " My art gets me away from everything," Kim said. Her 1979 projects were done in clay. " I've done really weird things dealing with hell, fan - tasy, and the struggle for self-identity," she said. Kim would like to receive a college scholarship in golf and make it as a pro or an artist. "I'm not going to say I'm the greatest, I've got a long way to go," she said. 162 seniors In art class, Kim Mann creates a piece of pottery.

At Glenwood State Hospital, Darby took care of retarted patients from 9 to 16 years old. As Darby worked, he visited with patients. "Hi, How are you doing, John?" "Have you been good, Karen?" "What are you up to, Joe?" But because the patients' mental ages were less than one year, they could only smile. Most of the patients needed total care, so Darby did everything from dressing and undressing them to bathing and feeding them . "When I first started I was afraid of them, I didn't know how to feel," Darby said. "But once you get to know them, its easy to talk to them as you do everyone else." Darby chose the job as child development worker through the T & I program. When he took the job, he didn't realize what it would mean to him.

"At times, I wish I wasn't a funny person, like when I'm not in the mood, but people still expect me to be funny," he said. "On the other hand, the atmosphere I'm in is usually happy, and I feel good when I can perk someone up," Jeff said. Jeff's mother told of how he lifted sp irits at home. "If it wasn't for Jeff, we'd all be down in the dumps most of the time," she said. His classmates agreed. "In any situation, you can always count on Baker to have something humorous to say," said Patty Thorn '80. "I've had people tell me I should be a co m edian, but I really don't think I'm that funny," Jeff said. " A lot of people have the same sense of humor as me, but I'm just squirrelly enough to show it." Hang loose! For one of hi s crazy stunts, Jeff Baker hangs from the balcony in the student lounge.

He carefully reaches in the box and picks up a frame of 1100 bees. Steve Benton '79, who has been working with bees for five years, enjoys his hobby even after being stung 50 times at once. "A friend asked me to watch his bees," Steve said. "I was taking a frame of bees out, and it got caught in the box. It was hard to go back." But even after being stung and after learning of his father's allergy to bees, Steve returned to his hobby. " I have 80 to 90,000 bees in the spring and summer," he said. · His work involves seeing that there is a queen bee, and no disease. " The queen lays 2000 eggs a day," Steve said. "She can live for six years, but I usually get a new one every other year." While the bees work making honey, Steve makes money selling it. The average year brings him $350.

He was born with cerebral palsy. "I just think of it as a small inconvenience," Don said. "There's no other way to think of it." Don had his only bad feelings about his handicap during his early teens when he and his family moved to Frankfurt, Germany, for three years. "It was a completely different surrounding," he said. " I felt like we just landed out of nowhere. I didn't know anyone." In that strange new land, Don said he would sometimes get the feeling he was being left out of things, but he usually got over those feelings quickly. "I'd just go find something to do by myself," he said. During his high school years at AL, students and teachers alike noticed Don's ability to accept his handicap, make the best of everything, and keep on smiling. "Don is always cheerful. It is rare that I hear him make a negative remark about anyone," said Dorothy Button, librarian. "He accepts people as they are, and he has a sense of humor about life and about himself. He has been an inspiring person to know." Mike Spoto '80, also noticed Don's cheerfulness. "There's never a day when he doesn't smile or a class where he's not laughing," he said.

During the season, she spent two nights a week practicing for games. "They play pretty well for beginners," Peggy said. "We've won one game, and that was against an undefeated team ."

Before teaching, Ross went to San Miguel Allende Art School in Mexico. Later, on her second trip around the world, she studied art in England under 25 teachers from other countries. During her long career, she shared many memorable experiences with students. She remembered the time a student threw away a painting he didn't like. After she retrieved it, they did repairs on it. She later learned it had won a gold medal in a New York art fair. After they graduated, students kept her informed. One wrote her telling of his job as a cartoonist for "Playboy." Other students wrote her that they had become art teachers.

She always showed me I could make anything into something good, if I were patient enough," said Pat McConeghey '79. "She let us be free and paint what we wanted," said Dave Telpner '80, who credited her with teaching him everything he knew about colors. After Ross retired, she hoped to teach young children in her home. She explained why it was so hard for her to give up teaching. "Art goes way back in our family," she said. "I think it was my destiny to become an art teacher." In her silent room, Berniece Ross uses her free hour to engage in painting, her favorite pastime.

Behind the door sat Dr. Ellen Simmons, assistant vice-principal, who came to AL fro m James Monroe High School in the Bronx. The wait to see Simmons w as sometimes long because her solution to discipline problems involved more than giving students quick lectures and having them sign referrals. Soon after school started, Simmo ns realized many students didn't know the rules because they had not read the student handbook. Her solution was simple. When a student was referred for an infraction, Simmons handed him the handbook, helped him find the appropriate section and then let him read for himself the consequences of his action. "One of the things I've tried to impress upon students is to be at peace w ith one another," Simmons said. "Each student should be able to walk down the halls without name calling or any other unpleasant thing happening." To help avoid unpleasantness, Simmons tried to get students to use " tongue power, not fist power." Students having disputes were called to her office to talk them out. Simmons believed she was successful . " I've had students admit they cut classes in the past, but this year they wouldn't think of cutting," she said. Some students agreed with Simmons.

(ABOVE) Strolling through the halls, a tall , dark-complected man would smile cheerfully, expressing friendliness and encouragement to the students and teachers he met. Dr. Raj Chopra, Council Bluffs' new superintendent, spent approximately 70 per cent of his time visiting schools. By visiting with students, he hoped to reach his goal of having 90 per cent of all students know him by the end of the school year. Students who got to know Chopra were im - pressed. "When I first met him, I thought he was just a projected image, but the more I was around him, I realized his attitudes and friendliness were genuine," said Lynn Damme '79. Teachers' reactions to Chopra were similar. " Personally, I'm very impressed by him," said instructor Mary Gepner. " I like the fact that he gets out and speaks w ith students and teachers, instead of shutting himself up in his office." When Chopra talked w ith students, he often spoke of their futures. " The future of Ameri ca depends on our youth," he sa id. Believing it was important to bring a po itive outlook to Council Bluffs, he often met w ith as many as 300 citizens, telling them what was good about the city and its schools. By maintaining an open door policy w ith his team of teachers and adm inistrators, he hoped educators could better fulfill their role of "ser - ing and inspiring youth." " I believe in young people," Chopra said.

Whether it's a physical impression or just a memory of the event, it will last forever. High school shapes the way you act and even what you will be in the future. No matter how good or bad the event was, it leaves a mark in your life. Some students worry about their grades while others worry about how they will do that night at practice. Either way it shapes who and what you will be in future. From high sch ool friends, to your activities, they all leave a Lasting Impression.

From hanging out with your friends on weekends, to shopping for the dances, to working to save for the future. The memories will last forever. Many of the students stayed busy during their summer vacation by visiting new places, going to camps or working. At the Homecoming Carnival there were 1nany new booths along with live music for the student's entertainment. Prom night was special to many. For some it was a first and for some it was their last high school dance memories. From the summer days to Ptom night lasting impressions were made. c;t11d1•11ts dam t rilll inrr a o:;foa "Oil<' rt tilt \, lit t 1 t ~ .~ dmH e. fllwto h11 L11joli l'ar/,t.dal ASTRA vice president junior Laura Fuhs celebrates after finishing their float for the Homecoming parade.

For Spirit Week there was crazy hat day, twin day, disco day, dress up or down day and spirit day. Sophomore Michaela Kanger said, /1 I think Spirit Week is fun, it gives students a way to show school spirit." The Carnival was another activity. A new attraction to the carnival was the Pom Pon auctions. Sophomore Marie Wajda commented, 111 thought the Pom Pon auctions were funny. It made the girls look silly and stupid by some of the stuff they had to do." · There were also two bands playing at the carnival. They were the Garbage Pail Kids and the Rabid Space Monkey's. Sophomore Andy Vogt, a member of the Rabid Space Monkey's said, /1 I enjoyed playing at the Carnival and it was also our first gig so we were all pretty nervous." The Homecoming parade was more exciting than others. Floats, old cars, Cheerleaders, the Wilson marching band and theTeeJaymarchingband were just some of the added attractions to the parade. "Hooray for Hollywood" was the theme for Homecoming. The colors were black, white and silver. Crowned king and queen were seniors Tom Parrack and Lindsey Konecny.

By Lori McVey Wondering if you'll find that perfect dress, or if your date will go the way you expected it to. That's part of the "Christmas Tradition." These things concerned many Snoball couples. The theme of the dance was Winter Wonderland. The colors were blue, silver and white. The Student Council sponsored the Snoball dance. The king and queen were Mike Perkins and Silina Childers. "There was a good turn out, students enjoyed themselves and were well behaved." said Student Council sponsor, Paul Hans. "I twas a lot more fun than Homecoming, I thought, even though the snowman was a little lopsid ed." said junior Carrie Baxter. Three former g raduates played the role of a Disc Jockey for the night. After the d ance it was time to find something to d o afterward. Some students went home to watch movies with their dates. While others found other things to do. Sophomore M egan Hytrek said, "Me, my date and the friends we went with went to the Family Fun Center after the dance." For seniors Melissa Rocha and Childers, they went ice skating with their dates to end the evening of a perfect night in a perfect winter environment. The Snoball was a memorable moment for every student that will last with them forever. "I really enjoyed the Snoball dance, the memory will last with me forever, "said senior Susan Mc Vey.

By Sonya Fisher and Kami Hammond To many, Valentine's Day is one of the most romantic days of the year. For many, cards and roses were some people's favorite gifts. For others it was bracelets, rings and clothes. Senior Matt Seminara put a rose on his girlfriends desk for every class that she had. Senior Silina Childers said,"It was the greatest thing that anyone has done. I was totally surprised every time that I walked into class and there was another rose, it was very sweet." Juniors Josh Sorenson and Chad Gnader cooked dinner for their girlfriends. Junior Susan Schutt said," It was very sweet of Josh to do. I didn't expect to have him make me dinner, it took a lot of thought unlike just taking me out for dinner." "Valentine's Day is special even if you don't have anyone," said sophomore Krissy Mandolfo,"because you can spend it with the friends who don't have anyone either." Many of the students brought back the old tradition of bringing valentine cards to give to their friends, just like in elementary. Sophomore Lisa Goldsberry said,"I think it puts more fun into Valentine's Day." If you spent it with your loved one, or your friends it was a special day. Some couples decided to spend their Valentine's weekend at the Sweetheart dance. The dance was held on Feb. 8 in the New Fieldhouse, the senior class sponsored the dance. The class sweethearts were freshman Heather Berry, sophomore Larissa Christensen, junior Nikki Brown and senior Cori Zarek.

On Friday, March 21 it was the latter. The annual TWIRP (The Woman Is Required To Pay) dance was held in the New Fieldhouse with a theme of, "Under the Sea." The gym was decorated in various 'fishy' paraphernalia. TWIRP week was a week of different forms of expression. The expression started with Monday being Hat Day. Tuesday followed with Camouflage Day, Wednesday was Name Tag Day, Thursday was Tie Die Day and Friday was Pick-aDecade Day. There also was the Fabulous Feet Contest. "The feet that had the most money at the end of the week won," said freshman Pam Stahlnecker. The court was composed of four males from each class. Honorary court members were seniors Tom Parrack and Mike Perkins, "I thought it was a great honor to have the support of my peers, to know that they thought highly of me," said senior Dan Riley. The king of the dance w as Matt Seminara, the prince was Chad Gnader, theduke wasJonRyba and the earl was Jonathon Taylor. Many people did the traditional thing and stayed for the whole dance then either went home or went out to dinner before becoming homeward bound. Some people did something else, like sophomore Audrey Grieder. "We went to the dance, got our pictures taken and then w~nt o the Family Fun Center and won 2,175 tickets in one and a half hours. We spent $30 - $35," said Grieder. Men and women changing roles for the night gave the students a change.

By Enjoli Barksdale The Prom was a night to remember for all who came. The theme "Remember Me, This Way" fit the night. The colors were black, white and gold. Many wore their own colors to show their own personality. Before Prom the junior class officers decorated. They had a little problem with the candles fitting in the center pieces, so they used chewing gum to make the candles stay. "Everyone was given a stick of gum, we chewed 60 pieces to get them to stay," said Deb Goodman sponsor. Decorating wasn't the only problem there were many students that had problems at dinner. "As my date and I were at Vivace we were acting like we were high class people. So I asked Jim to pour me some more nonalcohol wine and by mistake he poured olive-oil in it. I was sitting there wondering why it was bubbling," said junior Jessica Rinehart. There were more funny moments before Prom. " The funniest thing that happened was junior Kelly Foster fell down the stairs at Grisantis. I keeped on walking so no one would think it was me," said junior Dawn Thelen. After Prom a few people had some problems. Senior Sonya Fisher and junior Jeff Diamond were in~ hurry to go change clothes, when they came back out the keys were locked in the car. "I was so mad but we got a coat hanger to get it unlocked," said Fisher. Post-prom was held at Brunswick. Everyone had the choice to play pool, cosmic bowling and Mares Casio Room. They had a dance contest, senior Andrea Masoner and graduate Tony Hodge won. Seniors Silina Childers and Matt Seminar a came out on top when they played in the casino. Prizes were given away, like phone cards, others won t.v's. "Mike Perkins and I won two t.v's," said junior Kylene Kermoade. So no matter what everyone did they all had fun even if they didn't get enough sleep.

However, not all of the original Senior Alisha Miller took campus remains. To celebrate this achievement many activities were planned throughout the year. Most of the events took place during the week of April 7 - 13. It started out Monday with a scavenger hunt that lasted throughout the week. The winner was freshman Jessi Raim. Journalism teacher Deb Goodman's homeroom won the trivia contest between the homerooms. "I was proud of them. They worked together to look up the information and had a lot of fun," Mrs. Goodman said. The Student Council gave tours and handed out refreshments at the Open House on April 13. Junior Josh Flaharty put together a magazine about the school's history that was mailed out to the community the week of the celebration. "It really over a 75 year history book that graduate Brad Harbold started last year. Most of the yearbook staff gathered information on each of the years the school had been open. "It was suppose to be done this year, but we decided to hold it back until the 75 graduating class (1 999)," Miller said. The first annual Hall of Fame inductions took place, honoring those who have made a lasting impression. The inductees were RF. Panders, Raymond F. Myers, Katherine Rap h Prosser, Al Couppee, Rob ert Schlegel, Marja belle Young Stewart and Gaylord Anderson. Although this celebration was for the building, the students and gradu ates w ere an important part. "It's cool to be a part of something that has been here so long," said sophomore Jackie Hammers.

What do these things have in common? These are a few of the ways that students spent their summer. Sophomore Audrey Grieder was working at Epply Airfield counting and organizing airplane parts, while freshman Laurie Park was holding baby alligators in St. Peters, Fl on vacation. "They have teeth about the size of my fingernail, and they're sharp too!" Park said referring to the alligators. SeniorJessiMcDermott spent her summer as a foreign exchange student in Germany. It was made possible by Youth For Understanding. McDermott went to a six day party called Kimes. "We stayed out all night and slept all day," said McDermott. Sophomores Kerry Jo Kritenbrink and Megan Hytrek traveled to San Diego, California and Arizona for a w eek. While they were there H ytrek and Kritenbrink visited Sea World, swam in the Pacific Ocean, visited Hard Rock Cafe and Planet Hollywood and they rode roller coasters on the beach. "If you want to see a lot of hot guys go to Phoenix or San Diego," said Hytrek. Having fun making ice cream, sophomore Dana White worked at Dairy Fair ice cream store. "I loved making banana splits, but brownie royals were my favorite to eat." Junior Sara Fly nn was an employee at Goodrich Dairy. " While you work you can get all the free ice cream you can eat." Many people only see summer as a time to goof off, but there are always two sides to everything. Sophomore Michaela Kanger volunteered as a SIT (staff in training) at a camp in Spirit Lake, Iowa.

By Laura Fuhs Every four years there is a new found interest in politics-- the presidential elections. Even if students weren't old enough to vote, they still had a chance to voice their opinion of the best candidate. Some students had a chance of a life time, they were able to hear the candidates views in person. Mrs. Hillary Clinton visited Iowa Western Community College on Sept. 19. And Mrs. Elizabeth Dole spoke at Westfair on Sept. 12. ASTRA members volunteered one afternoon of school work to go and support Mrs. Dole. Junior ASTRA member Andrea Mueller said, "Mrs. Dole was an excellent speaker. She was very informative and easy to listen to." All students were allowed to participate in the 1996 Mock Election. Social Studies teachers John McKinley and Pat Daugherty said elections went well. The ballots came back with Bill Clinton winning by 57%, Tom Harkin ahead by 59%, and Greg Ganske taking the lead by 57%. Junior Jennifer Nelson said, "It was a good experience for all Tee Jay students." Seniors who were 18 had another choice besides all of their college decisions. Their votes helped to decide the next President of the United States. But many people decided their votes didn't really make a difference, so they didn't vote. Senior Erin Mowery had this to say in response. "The people who didn't vote became a large group that could have made a difference." The election year ended with a Bill Clinton win over Senator Bob Dole and Ross Perot by a landslide.

By Lori Mc Vey Doesn't italwaysseemlike teenagers have a different sense of style and interest of entertainment? As always, entertainment and fashion were big things for teens. From dance clubs, to widelegjeans, towalletchains and to just hanging out with friends. Sophomore Alicia Kauffman sees it m another way. Kauffman said, " Fashion was not that big of a thing to me, I wouldn't call myself a trendy kind of person." To other students fashion was more important "I think fashion is a big thing to me because you don't want to go looking like some freak from a different world," said senior Susan Mc Vey. There also was a little taste from the past, retro. Body t t .t piercing, hair coloring, clogs, low cut jeans and orignal clothing were popular. Many students felt that Council Bluffs was not such a happening place to hang out. They often spent their time and money across the riv er in Omaha . Freshman Trisha Richardson agreed, " I think it's boring in Council Bluffs, so I go to the Old Market to hang out." Thrift stores, wallet chains, flannel shirts, whatpops in your head when you here these things? Grunge? Grunge was also a style preferred by many. The waypeopledressed and the places people hung out really affected their attitudes. Fashions and hangouts may change from year to year, but the styles from decades before always seem to come back.

AcDec also had members go to State. For some of the students their memories of ASTRA maybe the last memories for everyone because the sponsors gave up their duties.

Community Service Student Council And NHS Lend A Helping Hand By Tony Palmer From decorating for dances to sponsoring an infra-school canned food drive, the Student Council kept themselves busy. "We certainly didn't have the problem of time on our hands," said Student Council sponsor Paul Hans. Council was responsible for the tedious and important duty. "It's always fun to see the sh1- dent body enjoy the dance settings," said senior Jessi McDermott. With the requirement of membership moved up to a 3.7 grade point average, it One of Student Council's biggest events was the can wars. A challenge was issued to the other Council Bluffs schools that the school could raise more cans than they could.

Along with the new sponsors , the girls bought new uniforms. Unlike the traditional orange, and white, the uniforms Sarah Whitney were nominated as All- American. Whitney was chosen as an All- American. " I liked camp because the squad got to know each other," said Whitney. "The squad was a lot closer to one another were just black and white. "I like the uniforms, although I wish they were orange and white like last year," said sophomore Tiffany Hancock. "The squad was a lot closer to than they had been in the past years," said Vicki Mueller, "The girls on the squad are hard workers.

Photo courtesy of Dan Strutzenberg. Coa 'hes Dan Strutzenberg, Doug Donaldson and Todd Barnett, along with graduates Bill Gray and Casey McGrain spent two weeks of their summer in Australia. Mr. Strutzenberg was nominated by a Cedar Rapids high school football coach to help introduce football to Australians. July 12 they left on a plane to Los Angeles. From L.A. they flew for 14 and a half hours to reach Australia. "We lost a whole day on the plane trip. We got on the plane one day and when we got off the plane it was two days later because of the time zone difference," Mr. Strutzenberg said. On the two week trip, they stayed in Sidney, the capital of Australia, Penrith, a suburb of Sidney and stopped in Hawaii for three days and two nights. The group was supposed to talk to one high school in Sidney but was forced to change their plans because the teachers were on strike for a raise. "I thought that was ironic because they were striking for the same amount of money that we got for a raise," said Mr. Strutzenberg. Mr. Barnett was very impressed with the players and how classy they acted. He also mentioned how much he enjoyed meeting all the new people. "I still correspond with some of the other coaches," Mr. Barnett said. Mr. Barnett was pleased with the entire trip but said receiving letters of appreciation from the parents and seeing the parents getting involved with the kids was the best part of the experience. Not only did they travel to Australia but Dan Strutzenberg, Casey McGrain, Todd Barnett and Bill Gray made a three day stop in Hawaii. Photo courtesy of Dan Strutzenberg.

Photo by Stephanie Long. PBA. Those three little letters ring fear in the heart of almost every student, but some freshmen learned that all PBA' s are not evil. In fact, some can be downright fun. Students on the Frosh team experienced a different way of showing what they had learned. Instead of proving , themselves to a teacher, they got some real life experience outside of the traditional walls of a classroom. Students spent about a week in class writing children's stories. Most students also spent a lot of time outside of class working on the assignment. The topics ranged from animals to contained lessons like "Don't cross By Michaela Kanger and Laura Herrick the street alone" or "Don't talk to strangers". The students then went to Children's Land Day Care and read the stories to kids between the ages of three and six. There were around 102 students on the Frosh team, among them there were mixed emotions about the project. "It was a fun and interesting experience," said freshman Tonnya Pruett, but freshman Jenny Richards disagreed and said, "The kids ran all over and didn't listen to the stories." This was the second year that the Frosh team has gone to the daycare to read their children's stories. Both times it has been very successful. Frosh team teacher Mike Johnson said that they decided to do the PBA instead of taking a written test. It seemed to be more fun than tests for the students too. It also helped them with their communication skills as well as using their imagination. So while they were using their classroom knowledge to get a good grade and check-offs toward graduation, they also were able to have fun. Smaller children often look up to people who are older than they are. One of the ways our students have helped with this is by teens teaching tots.

Aside from the basketball, volleyball and fitness, the P.E. classes held their annual dance unit. The four classes of each period came together to do something different. This unit was held in the Old Fieldhouse. From the Polka to the Toosh Push, students experienced many different kinds of dancing. Among some of these were square dancing, line dancing and a few partner dances. Students were not required to dress out for dancing like on a regular P.E. day. - By Jessica Rinehart Junior Natasha Williams said, "Square dancing is much better than doing the regular P.E. routine." Teachers John Kinsel and Lavonne Pierson taught the junior I senior P.E. classes the Waltz. Although it was enjoyed by many, there were still a few displeased students. Senior Toby Dofner said, "I'd rather be playing sports than dancing anytime." Freshman Brooke Walker disagreed. "Dancing is better than playing volleyball and other stuff because you don't have to dress out," Walker said. Ms. Pierson led many of the country line dances. She showed each dance step-by-step and then added music. In addition to the line dances, she also showed the students the Electric Slide. Ms.Pierson said that she enjoys teaching the dances, and she also said, "Dance is ..... tradition, socialization, learning respect, coopera tion and equality ..... the essentials for a happy life." During the many years of this tradition, taking time out for the dance unit has proved to be a success among most students, according to Ms.Pierson. But success or not, it brought people together before the holiday break.

"Homeroom is a good time to relax and we don't get assigned to do homework," said junior Derek Gruber. But there were people who disagreed, like senior April Strong. Strong said, "Homeroom was just a big waste of time." It's a bird, a plane, no it's Tee Jay Today. TeeJayTodaywasshownduring homeroom along with Channel 1. Tee Jay Today was run by three students, senior Dylan Peck, and juniors By Missy Reiss Amanda Chatterton and Jamie Story. Tee Jay Today was more then an announcement show, it was responsiblity the students experienced. "Tee Jay Today needed new announcers because they always made mistakes and it was hard to understand what they were saying," said sophomor~ Lisa Christensen. Tee Jay Today talked about all of the sports programs, what is cooking for lunch and special events that were approaching. "Tee Jay Today is very informative; it occupies a lot of time," said sophomore Brian Larson. If homeroom was the easiest class of the day then why did people skip? Junior Eric Blue said, "I do not think you should get suspended for skipping homeroom because it is not a real class." Well there were a lot of people who recieved the consequence. Sophomore Amanda Joslin said, "It was pretty stupid because I received four detentions and I didn't go so they suspended me for three days. That was the cool part."

French and Spanish classes were available to any students interested. Such foreign language classes were requirements for s01ne colleges. Many colleges require at least two years of a certain language in high school before adn1ittance to their school. "Foreign language classes are beneficial to students because they allow you to expand your knowlj By Stephani Maron edge of different languages and learn more about other countries," said senior Angie Fender. Language classes not only taught students to speak a different language, but it also taught the1n to explore different cultures and geography. Beginning Spanish classes explored Spanish classes by singing different Spanish songs. Some consisted of: "El Alfabeto" (The Alphabet), El Dia de los Muertos (The Day of the Dead), and Los Doce Dias de Navidad (The Twelve Days of Chrishnas). Singing these songs taught students that although in different countries, m an y of the same traditions apply . Students also were given a fun way to translate the language w ithout work ing straight from a book. Junior David Young said, "I used to thin k Spanish was really boring until we started singing those great songs, like the alphabet!" Some langua g e lasses d idn't sing in order to lea rn the d ifferent cultures. Fren ch courses took a field trip for dinner a t the Omah a Club.

Field trips are a way for students to experience the things that they are learning about in class and see how they will use those skills in the "real world". Math teacher Al Hudek took his trigonometry students to the Western Heritage Museum to put their math skills to use. While there, they had to calculate how tall the Christmas tree or wall was using ratios and other methods, and figure out the size of the floor. "I liked going to the Old Market while we were there too," said sophomore Rachel Kritenbrink. DECA went to Minneapolis for a Central Region Conference which inBy Michaela Kanger eluded all the chapters of DECA in the Midwest. "Students attended workshops, listened to speakers, and got to talk to other DECA students," said business teacher Dave Murphy. A rumor was spread that Mr. Murphy had gotten left behind at Mall of America, but he had been waiting for some students when the first group left, but he rode back with another group. The freshmen teams went on many field trips. They too went to the Western Heritage Museum a few times; once to look at the dinosaur exhibit and once to look at the rest of the museum. "I like going on field trips a lot better than just reading things out of a book and being stuck in a classroom all day," said freshman Kristen Jackson. The swing choir and the Jefferson Edition left on Oct. 22 to go to Peru State for a competition. There was a snowstorm while they were there and only one bus was able to return. Around half of the students had to stay in an old dorm that had no heat. "When we were walking outside to go perform in another building, a large tree branch weighed down with snow snapped and fell to the ground. It barely missed hitting us," said junior Sarah Porter.

The sink was not as deep as the normal kitchens. The refrigerator was side by side. The counters were four inches smaller than the other counters. "I think it's pretty thoughtful," said sophomore Scott I McGlade. There were two food classes, Foods 1 and Foods 2. Both sets of classes did PBA tasks. Foods 1 was required to cook a breakfast for four. Foods 2 was required to cook a dinner for four. Some people made mistakes in the By Missy Reiss Foods room. "I forgot the sugar in the sugar cookies," said sophomore Heather Salin. What are sugar cookies without the sugar? Junior Dan Strietbeck said, "I put the sugar in the cookies last and I was supposed to put it in first, but the cookies were the best in-EI:ie class." Foods 2 students learned about foreign foods from China, Italy, France and Mexico. "All my classes study about the country just as much as the food they are eating," said Foods teacher Mary Prewitt.. "I think that my favorite part of the class was eating many different types of food. We ate many strange things, I was surprised that most of them were good," said senior Trent Mulvania. Foods 2 went on many field trips. "During one of our trips we went to Jonesy's. I ate so much food I felt like I was going to explode," said sophomore Terry Peterson. "I would recommend Foods Class to all of the students, I thought it was beneficial to me. I learned how to cook a lot of new things. You can use cooking in everyday life so it wouldn't be a waste of your time." said sophomore Dusty Lindsey.

The seniors in Jane Howard's, Jane Hanigan's, Joe Schick's, and Dan Koch's classes all took the time and effort to make the hall look identical to the time. Well, maybe not identical, but they did a great job trying to relive the spirit. The decorating had been done in previous years, but it had never been as big of a project for the students. Seniors put up street lights, made By Matt Erickson and Shane Snipes food, decorations and showed fashions of the time. In that week the seniors participated in many activities. Each of the classes read A Christmas Carol, watched the film, and did research on Charles Dickens. Also the classes did many other things that included planning the food day, doing research on colonial England, and watching the play. Also, the seniors contributed many other things. A lot of the seniors worked in the hallway doing various activities. Some drew bricks, put up blue lighting , others drew pictorals. Senior Jeff Coyle said, "I thougt that the hallway was very eye catching and attractive to all the students that passed through the hallway." Another acivity was planning the feast day. Planning the food day was big fun for some, others it was participating. First the seniors had to plan what to do, and research what was to be done. Next the seniors planned the food, music and other splendid activities. Senior Scott Tabor said, "Planning the day w as long and really thought out."

Well don't worry, those problems are all over. The Internet has been installed. The internet has the most current information available and also access to university research. There are several types of educational programs available on the Internet. Some of the programs are Netscape, Radiks, which is the internet provider, Two point 0 and E-Mail capabilities. Business teacher, Julie O'Doherty said, " It was a good idea to bring the Internet to TJ because it's a way to be competitive in the education and business world." Mrs. O'Doherty also added, " Employers will require our students to be prepared to use the computer and Internet efficiently. Today's students will live in a international environment and the web is just one tool." Senior Susan Mc Vey said, " I think the Internet is a great source to use for research. The Internet has taught me new things about many different topics. I would recommend the Internet for anyone that wants to know more on a topic." The Internet is just one of the new inventions of the 90's that help students in the business world. It was a way of learning more about different things happening around the world.

"Au to mechanics is cool because we get to bring in our own cars and work on them ourselves," said senior Matt Seminara. "The reason so many students like auto shop is because it gives them extra time to work on their cars. And for most, if not all, it saves a lot of time and money," said junior Bruce Cash. One of the big projects auto mechanics took on was to rebuild a 1968 Mustang. They bought the car for $200 and the class put $1,500 in restoring it, and they sold it for $2,500 by sealed bid. Auto shop teacher Lester Kadner said,"If someone is willing to apply themself, then I can help them save money on working on their own car. There are three things that I can offer the students in the class; I can help them on their own repairs, teach them to be a better consumer and help them save money." "The things that Mr. Kadner has offered our class has helped me out. I have saved at least $1,200 on rebuilding my engine in class, rather than taking it into a shop. Another positive thing about working on your own car is you are not getting ripped off, and it is getting done the right way," said junior Aaron Ring. ...... :> ...

They were all tasks performed by the wood tech class. The class was split into two parts. The first part was construction and the second rart was framing houses. The first year wood tech class took part in making clocks. They chose from many clocks like tea pots, playboy bunnies, dear heads, apples, a football helmets and the states of Nebraska and Iowa. Wood Tech teacher Dale Cerny said,"I enjoy working with most of the students. One thing that I like is that the students have to think before they do something." Wood Tech could be used in real life experences, according to junior Nick Sorensen. "I enjoy working with wood. I think it is good experience for the real world," Sorensen said. Freshman Tonnya Pruett said,"I think the class is a challenge. One of the different things about being in the class is that I am one of the few girls in the class." Sophomore Jonas Bose said,"I love to build things with wood.

Students say that science is easier if their teachers make the class fun. Dissecting, coloring pictures, making children's books and taking field trips are a few ways the Biology I Zoology teachers made class fun. "Dissecting was the best part of science class," said sophomore Jason Rasmussen. Dissecting, gave the students the opportunity to actually see the different parts, which they had been learning about. Seeing a display up close was a lot easier than trying to visualize it. Teacher Lori Williams class made childrens' books to better understand the rainforest. They first chose an animal, then had ~ to write a story explaining the animal's living conditions, eating habits, etc. The story had to be written so that an elementary student could learn something about the rainforest. Coloring cells was not only fun, but it was educational. By using colors, students believed it was much easier to identify the different structures. The Human Biology class took a field trip to Iowa City, Iowa on April 28 and 29. They toured the campus, especially the science departments and were able to talk to school counselors if they were interested in attending the college. This trip allowed students to see how science differed from high school to college. Juniors Shannon Burgstrum and Luke Gutzwiller use jello to decribe a cell and its functions. Photo by f. D. Bogatz.

One student struck disaster when they put the car in reverse and looked over the left shoulder of the car, on the right a lady was behind them just about to witness her own accident. The lady looked at the instructor with her mouth wide open. Instructor Al Worley took care of the problem by pressing the emergency brake. "That old lady probably filled her pants, I know I did," Mr. Worley said jokingly. Another obstacle was parallel parking in the Old Market. A student backed into the sp ace and hit a pole . "He just knicked it, he didn't drill it or anything," said Mr. Worley. No one can forget the good old simulators. They p retend you're driving so you can learn possible situations on the streets. " In stimulator (simulator) I run over p eople on purpose just to make it fun. " said sophomore Chris Moore. Students may find m any helpful hints and rules of the road in Drivers Ed.

Students dealt with matter and energy and their interactions. "It has been an interesting year thus far", said physics teacher Terry Todd.," A lot of the students are interested in physics because they like to do experiments." One of the favorite experiments was when students held a pendulum above their head and it swung down towards their face. In actuality it never touched them, but it caused one to jump and flinch. Another experiment a lot of students seemed to enjoy was when Mr. Todd "charged students' hair up". Students touched an electrical charged glass ball, and it caused every hair in their head to stand straight up. Senior Matt Hatcher said, "The most interesting thing about physics w as the way Mr. Todd teachesit,he'sacool guy." Experiments also played a big role in chemistry. Chemistry is the science that deals with the composition, structure and properties of substances. Some of the favorite experiments of chemistry students included an experiment where they burned certain chemicals and it made brilliant colors. The favorite experiment according to chemistry students w as the exploding milk lab. Junior Nick Sorenson said, "I like chemistry because you can do labs, and learn a lot of neat stuff.

Being able to work with others, exchange ideas and being responsible are just a few good qualities that were taught. Everyday before class students participated in energy builders. Energy Builders are games or activities that get students motivated for class. These also helped classmates get acquainted with each other. "Everyday before class we do some kind of activity to get us going. They are pretty fun!" said junior Dawn Thelen. Oneofthemany projectsthat the students w ere involved in was picking a quote that they thought would appeal or inspire the rest of the student body and staff. After they chose a quote, they had to p aint it on one of the walls in the building.

Photography first hour, was a busy class. Both beginning and advanced photography was taught by Mike Hale. There was only one advanced photography student, senior Robert Jenkins. Jenkins said, "Photography was a good learning experience. I spent a lot of my time helping others in the darkroom." Jenkins also entered some of his photographs in various art competitions. During the class time the students were assigned to do four projects. The first project was to take pictures of shadows. The second requirement was to take pictures of lines. The third was to take pictures of people. The final assignment was to write a story and have 10 pictures to go with the story. "A picture is worth a thousand words," said sophomore Josh Fouts. Senior Jake Toman said, "Photography is cool. The best part of it was, you got to take pictures and develop them yourself. The worst part had to be the smell of all the chemicals." The students learned that there was a lot more to taking a picture than just pointing and shooting. There were things like, camera selection, photo composition, how to make a proof sheet, how to print and how to develop the film. In beginning photography students learn the parts of the camera.

Teachers had different degrees of difficulty in their tasks. An example was a task in Linda Gardner's English class. The task was to explain why the 1990's are the hardest times to live in than any other time. "I had to work really hard." said junior Tony Renshaw.

What's that you have under your test? A cheat sheet! Cheating is a common thing for high school students. Cheater is a word that no one likes to be accused of and teachers don't like to accuse people of. Biology teacher Bud Meade said, "I've caught students cheating several times. Some of the consequences were picking up the paper, talking to the student, or giving the student an F for the paper. The worst was failing the student for the class." Cheating is a part of everyone's life at one time or another. Whether it was looking over your best friends shoulder or "borrowing" someone's paper just to "check" your answer. Most people who cheat don't just do it once, they keep doing it. "I've never cheated because I have a conscience. If I do cheat, I just confess because of my guilty conscience," said sophomore Linda Eng.

Some practice books can be very beneficial. Junior John Phillips said, "I know the ACT is really important test for college. I'm goin.g to try my best to get a good score." Seniors Melissa Rocha and Silina Childers said," We didn't study. The ACT is a lot of stress!" Senior Cori Zarek said," I didn't cram at the last minute, I just went with what I already knew. It really paid off." Zarek received a score of 30.

The class started out with 20 students and it gradually dropped to eight. As a result the class wasn't able to start any major projects because of the fear of more students dropping the class . "Our shortage of students caused us to do all book work. I was a little disappointed that we weren't doing any experiments but the class was still pretty fun," said sophomore Tony Jordan. Teacher Paul Hans said, because ) . the class was very small, it became very personable, there was a very to1 gether attitude among the students. By Stephanie Long Mr. Hans also stated that he couldn't figure out why 12 of the 20 students dropped out. "It must be because it's the end of the day and the students want to get the heck out of here," said Mr. Hans. Other electives offered through the social studies department were Sociology, Economics and Humanities. "I really liked Humanities because I enjoyed learning about the fine arts and philosophers of those times, but I think I went to class mostly to see what new ensemble Mr. Smilley would wear daily," junior Jessica Bittner said. Electives played a role in students acquiring a grade point average that would allow them an honors pass. Students needed to maintain a 3.5 GP A to get an honors pass. This was a legitimate w ay to get out of study hall. It gave students a chance to have an extra lunch break or catch up on sleep. "I love my honors pass. It gets me through the school year," said junior Katie Hunt. "I can go and have two lunches," said sophomore James Mawhiney. People have very different opinions on honor passes. Some think they are a great idea and others think effort should be a factor in the selection of who should or shoud not receive an honors pass.

Childers s By Laura Herrick & Michaela Kanger There are many things that come with being a senior. Stress, higher expectations and many good-byes to name just a few. Aside from the difficulties of being a senior, there are also many privileges. Even though they are there, many seniors don't realize that they are given special advantages. "We have privileges?," laughed senior James Hunt. Many just expect to be handed the privileges and when they finally do receive them they don't realize it. Many seniors, however, are conscious of the fact that they do receive special treatment. "We get respect. The teachers and administration know us better so we are more apt to not get in trouble. Also, we don't need hall passes," said senior Dan Riley. Some of the privileges that seniors receive are: senior ski trip, they don't have to go to study hall and they get to sign out before the underclassmen. A majority of the seniors felt that they deserved first shot at the parking spaces. Every year more parking stickers are given out than there are spaces in the parking lot, forcing many students to park out in "Siberia," or "in the boonies," as one student put it. After so many years of back breaking labor, seniors have finally discovered that all the hard work paid off.

Senior Colleen Stanford said, "I know that I will not miss the attendance policy for me it was just a big hassle." Whether it was the teachers, attendance policy, or other school related things many said that they were glad were over. Senior Melissa Rocha said,"I think that I will miss the privilege of bowling the most. That was the easiest thing that we did for P.E." Senior Julie Holm said,"I will miss the teachers the most. I had some really good teachers and they made the day more positive for me." Senior Silina Childers said," I think what I miss the most is my friends. I am use to having them right by my side and to think that I will not have that, and I am going to have to call them from college that is miles away." "I will miss the drama department the most, I think that they are the best people to be around. Drama has made a major impact on my life," said senior Dylan Peck. Through friendships, teachers, and classes, high school will always be remembered. Senior Nikki Zaccone will miss science teacher Shannon CdeBaca the most after she graduates. Photo by Ryan Wood.

To the seniors it's filling out scholarships, deciding on a college, taking finals and having second doubts on all the decisions that have been made. Senior Danny Lamkins said, "The most stressful thing about being a senior is taking finals." Choosing a college, does it really create that much stress? To seniorMikePerkinsitdid. "There are a lot of different colleges to choose from, how do you know if you've chosen the right one," Perkins said. Students spent long hours, sometimes even days in the counseling center. They used the computers, talked with their counse- ' . . - - . ~- - - - lor, took surveys trying to figure out what they wanted to do and where to go. College is the next step in a person's life, because of financial expenses picking the right one is difficult. Is there a way to avoid or eliminate all the stress? Senior Mike Tornblom wanted to share the way he relieves stress with his peers. "I hug a tree, it always seems to do the trick," said Tornblom. Does stress stop after graduation? Talking with graduates, stresswillnevergoaway. Whatever you do and where ever you go it will always be there. So, find a way to deal with it and don't let it take over your life.

Students often start their freshman year one way and leave four years later totally unrecognizable. "Almost everyone I know has had a major change. I remember my freshman year and now realize how each of us has grown to be our own individual,"said senior Erin Mowery. For some students changes involved their friends. "When I was a freshman I had a large group of friends that I hung out with. Through high school I found out who my real friends were," senior Cori Zarek said. Changes also occur in students' households. Some get more responsibility and others getmoreprivileges. Senior Lindsey Konecny commented, "I have a much later curfew than I used to have, and my mom trusts me more." The biggest change for many seniors is the planning of their future. Deciding on which college to attend, moving out or staying home, which jobs to apply for or finding some way to pay the bills. Senior BrianMuldrew said,'1 never realized how many different choices there are out in the world. I guess you just have to get your feet wet."

Many seniors spent well over $1000 on things like: senior pictures, clothes, graduation parties, senior trips and announcements. Amber Kellner said her biggest cost so far was about $550 for her senior pictures. Kellner estimated her graduation party to cost around $600. "I think it is crazy, it's too expensive to be a senior," said Kellner, "My announcements cost about $200. It is an outrageous price to pay." Senior Jennifer Cronk said , " The cheapest thing for me so far was the senior ski trip that was only $15 because I own my own skis." Many things you buy to remember your senior year are costly. Announcements cost about $200, senior pictures cost anywhere from $300 to $900. If seniors want a graduation party they should plan on spending any where from $200- $800. Seniors agreed that the price w as to high for the memories it created. "The price is extremely high for just one year, but if you consider all of the memories you pay for, it is reasonable," senior Jamie Kephart said. The money seniors pay for the memories can cost a lot dollar wise, but if they look at it like memories they are priceless.

Sales Looking By Daniell Birchard and Jamie Damgaard Graduating was exciting and students said they were glad they didn't have to go to high school again. Most of the students had plans to go to college. For others it was entering the wonderful world of work. "I'm working for now until I figure out what I'm going to do," said senior Colleen Stanford. Some are entering the military. "I first became interested my sophomore year. Larry Wajda gave a presentation in our history class about the army and West Point Military Academy, it was interesting. So I requested a book of information from West Point and when I started reading, it just clicked," said senior Eric Hillerson. It w as difficult in deciding what college to attend for the ones who planned to go. Sometimes it could be hard on deciding what to major in at college. Senior Dan Dunlap said, 'Tm going to loaf around after I grad uate, then after abou t a year I'll probably go to Metro college." Then there w ere some who planned to play sports in college. Senior Danny Lamkins said, "I'm going to Central college in Pella to study criminal justice." He will be playing soccer for Central.

While to others it was the last possible second to plan the life they will lead in the future. That meant doing a lot of those hand-aching, eye-crossing, bubble filling info. sheets and the exhausting essay writings, that students dread. Senior Jason Mcintosh said, "Scholarships and applications are a pain in the keester, it's just a whole bunch of writing with too big of a fee." "I wonder if I'm going to get accepted?" Students asked themselves that question time and time again throughout the year. Many of them even found themselves waiting by the mailbox hoping to get a thick package addressed to them. "I think financial aid is monetarily endowed," said senior Dan Riley. When students finally found the college that they wanted to attend they began to hyperventilate, because they thought there was no possible way of paying for school. Then came the chance to take advantage of those scholarships. "They take way too long, but the money is good and it really pays off in the long run," said senior Brian Tedesco. Being a senior was not all fun and games, sometimes high school was difficult. Being a senior meant preparing for the life they would lead in the future.

At leastthat' s what high school buddies believed. Most students spent all of high school vowing to be inseparable from their best friends until the end of eternity. Who knew eternity meant graduation? When students are no longer in high school, and in the "real world" they are faced with many more obstacles to overcome. American Government teacher Pat Daughtery said, "I have grown apart from all of my high school friends since graduation - today they are only my acquaintances." JuniorTomReikofskisaid, "I think I'll probably keep my same friends for a little while after high school, but I'm sure we'll end up getting separated somehow." Although most students weren't able to keep their high school gang alive, there were a fortunate few who succeeded in doing so. Junior Shannon Burgstrum said, "The majority of my friends went away for college and I still talk to them pretty often." Mr.Daugherty added, "Some people develop lifelong friendships, but I didn't-with one exception. Ever since my 17th year, my best friend has been a pretty girl- who became my wife!" Even though a lot of people aren't able to stay as close to their friends as they used to be, it is important to cherish the memories of old friends while making new ones.

Seniors who wanted to skip needed to called in, in order to be excused. Most seniors filled their day with fun and excitement. "We went fishing with Horse. (Larry Wadja) and Toby," said seniors Nate Hanneman and Jason Gunderson. "I stayed the night at Jake Tomen's house and played Play Station." said senior Jason McClelland. Some seniors couldn't break themselves away from school. Senior Jamie Lobendo said, "I went to school for two classes then went shopping for the rest of the day." "I was supposed to go mushroom hw1ting, but I didn't because my ride didn't show up, so I stayed in school," said senior Dan Riley . Entertaining onesself at parties w as popular also.

From the tough losses at the beginning of the year to the big wins at the end. The team started out slow with a seven and seven record. But by the end of the season they proved themselves by winning the city title. The varsity players were joined by some of the underclassmen later in the year. Some of the players that got moved to varsity were sophomores Matt Hendrix, Justin Kammrad, and Matt DeWolf. Hendrix said," I was wondering if I was going to play, and what I was going to do." Senior Jason Mcintosh said/' I think Justin Kammrad stepped up showing himself as a prospect by hitting a triple in his first chance to play at the varsity level." "This was a very satisfying year towards growth and development of our baseball program. As a team, we battled adversity early on in the season and yet came together and finished the season strong and came back to win the city championship/' said Coach Lee Toole. The leaders of the squad offensively were graduate Senior Mike Perkins attempts to apply the tag on a base runner from Clarinda. Photo by Lee Toole. Players who made All-conference and Alldistrict were graduates Tim Podraza, LaFerla, Chris LaFerla and senior Marc Berry who both batted .417. Pitching had a lot to do with the improvement of the team. Graduate John Skinner had a pitching record of 7-3 and an earned run average of 1.90. LaFerla also had a 7-3 record and had a 2.04 earned run average.

For the first time in seven years the girls made it past the first round of districts by defeating the Glenwood Rams 15-9, 15-8 and 15-13. A week later they fell to cross town rival A.L., who they had beaten earlier in the year. Senior Jena Verpoorten said," Beating A.L. in the regular season was the best!" Injuries were a problem for the team. During the Tee Jay Invite junior Annie Hensley went out with a sprained ankle. After she recovered she then went out w ith a back infun back into the game. One weekend the JV and varsity packed their bags and headed to Knoxville, Iowa for a tournament. Not only was the team able to play good teams, they were able to bond. "Taking this trip not only allowed us to be teammates, but to also be friends," said junior Kelly Foster. Even though the varsity didn't place high in this tournament, they defeated ranked Atlantic. jury.

The game was tied one to one through two overtimes and that led to the shootout where the boys were short by one goal. "It's tou gh to lose when you work so hard for something. We really wanted to beat AL in the district game," junior Shad Mahanke said. Gail Anderson took over the team as coach for the first year. "He did a good job coaching the team. He helped us stay together and play as a team. I thought he was a good coach," sophomore Shane Hoss said. "These kids were an excellent group of kids to coach. These kids worked for the betterment of the team and thought only of the team," Coach Anderson said. The seniors gave the younger players someone to look to for help. Junior Bruce Cash said, "The seniors were great leaders. They gave everybody encouragement and kept us playing as a team." Bad Luck seemed to sum up the season. "We had the worst luck this season.

''" ~ · Drama Students Go To Visit The Windy City ~ By Ricky Prosolow Over Christmas break in 1996, the Drama department teok a trip to that "Toddlin' town" of Chicago, Illinois. They left early in the morning on Dec. 16 and didn't get back until after Dec. 20. One thing the whole group remembers is the food. They all agreed that the best place was Ed Debevic's, a restaurant devoted to the 50' s and 60' s. " The odd thing about Ed Debevic's", said junior Bobby Gittins, "was that the waiters were rude. They were supposed to be that way. II The waiters would tell the group to refill their own drinks and clean up their own messes. Their waiter was Moondog, a 50' s rock musician impersonator who had an incredibly high hair-do. Some of the other things the group remembers about Debevic's was the jukebox (which played only oldies music) and the soda fountains. Gittins said, "Debevic's was a blast." The trip also led them to the set of Home Alone 3, which was being filmed inside Mr. Gibson's sister in law's house at that time, so they toured the house. They also saw said some productions, which included "Sheer Madness", "Showboat" and "Mojo". In "Mojo", Mr. Gibson was able to see someone he knew in the show, so the group was taken backstage. They were shown various things, such as how to work some of the p rops and the different positions on the set. Those that went were Drama teacher John Gibson and sophomores Jeff Smay and Andrew Vogt, juniors Tim Hough, Mike Lane, Tyler Brown, Bobby Gittins, Megan Webster, Jamie Story, Nicole Moore and Mike Garreans, and seniors Andrea Masoner, Elizabeth Hurt, Tracy Sales, Dylan Peck, Chad Sulley, Jackie Gardener and Diane Frazier. They also noticed many differences, but few similarities, between Chicago and Council Bluffs. Some of the differences included the size, the theaters, the libraries and the malls. The prices in the gift shops were also very expensive, way more than in Council Bluffs. Some similarities were the way Chicagoans dressed and acted. Masoner said, "They (Chicago people) were so rude. I was glad to get back." Junior Tim Hough relaxes after the long trip to Chicago. Photo courtesy of Bobby Gittins. Students in the school hallway anticipate the vacation of the year.

There were over 150 students in the choirs that let their voices be heard numerous times throughout the school year. The choirs participated in many competitions, and many students also competed as individuals or in small groups. Sophomore Bryan Larson said that his favorite things about being in choir were, "going places, traveling and meeting new people." While at the Lewis Central competition, Jefferson Edition finished fourth for the first time in 20 years. While at a competition in Peru State, part of the Second Edition and Jefferson Edition were unable to return home because of a snowstorm and were stranded there overnight. "It was fun staying in the dorms, although they weren't heated," said sophomore Spring Madsen. However, like many things, there are ups and downs of being in choir. "A selected few don't work up to their full potential. Some people also mess around and are rude to Mr. Gray," said sophomore Jeff Smay. "Choir rocks! We have fun and enjoy singing. It lets us all do something we are good at, and if you agree with me, rock on! " exclaimed sophomore Brandy Merrifield. Many people enjoyed choir and were also proud of all the hard work that the choirs put in. As a voice of the school the choir has to sound good. Which is the reason why the choir is always keeping in tune.

Jl By Laura Herrick "Are the drum majors ready?" Drum major sophomores Shane Anderson, Tina Austin and Jane Beranek salute, go to their respective positions and fire up the band. This scene was common before the band and flag competitions. The marching band and flag squad performed together for a majority of the time, but on occasion they could be found performing seperately. "When you know you did good it makes you feel good," commented sophomore Regan Williams about competitions. The band did do very well, earning a one at Glenwood and a two at state contest. Performances w eren't the only things that students enjoyed. There were also m an y other things. "Um ... the trips. No! Wait, I w ant to change my answer. The trips and w inning stuff," said sophomore Rachel Kritenbrink. Aside from the traditional things of b and and flags, there were some not so traditional things. Like having a boy on the trad ition ally fem ale flag squad. Senior Dylan Peck was the first boy ever on the flag squad. "I like b eing surrounded b y tons of women! " Peck stated. In addition to being the only boy on the flag squad, Peck was also one of the fou r squad leaders. "He's really good at what he does and he's d efinitely a lead er," said sophomore Kara Polchow referring to Peck as a squad leader. The other three leaders w ere, sophomores Melissa McClain, Erin Hilton and senior Diane Frazier. The other not so traditional thing was that four of the marching band players played in the Fiesta Bow l during the pre-game show on Jan. 1. Five students from Tee Jay tried out for the Southwest Iowa Honor Marching Band which was part of the band that p layed during the pre-game show. Four of those five mad e the elite grou p. Freshman Nick LeGuillou, McClain, H ilton and Kritenbrink were given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. "I can't wait until my senior year so I can try out and go back again!" said McClain. Traditional or not, the band and flag squad perform and perform well. As Polchow put it, "Don't forget to come and watch the band at their next performance." • Band members try hard to stay in step while still concentratiti on their music during one of the many parades.

For some people the hard work paid off for good times. Orchestra member, Jami Reid said, "I had a good time when James Hunt tripped at a concert and brought d own a stand with music on it in front of the audience." Jazz Band member Andrew Vogt said, "Mr. Clark alway s said 'open up y our ears and watch me'. That was so funny ." Jazz Band members had a lot of fun joking and playing tricks w ith Mr. Clark including Ryan Redding who said, "It was hilarious when the whole group hid Mr. Clark's m usic and he got really mad. By the end of the y e ar he still didn't know about it." Jazz Ban d m ember Nick Le Guillou said, "We have a song called "My Ship" and wealwaysthinkhe says something else. " There could be some bad times also. Reid also said, " It was bad when James Hunt got kicked out of class because he brou ght a whip and was cracking it." Vogt added,"! hated it when M r. Clark got angry because he would talk very loud." Jaz z Band members also hated getting up earlier than other people. Sophomore Luke Jefferson said, "That was the worst part ab out Jazz Band was getting up so early and having to p lay m y trumpet. I did get a lot of good things out of Jazz Band ." Le Guillou added, " I always had to eat m y breakfast during Jazz Band warm-u p s. " Jazz Band had 19 students, while O r chestra h ad 12 students. Jazz Band teacher Dave Clark said, "There were some things I would have liked to ch an ge about the students confidence, technique, practice habits, improvisation, articulation and tone quality. " Orchestra and Jazz Band member Sarah Porter said, " I made some wonderful friends in Orch estra over the past three years, and received a warm welcome from all of the Jazz Band members during my first year of Jazz Band. I also wished the whole Orchestra class could have been able to concentrate more on their music.

M By Ricky Prosolow Blithe Spirit, the annual fall play, took place Nov. 8 - 9. Costumes were a great part of the production. They included junior Lisa Schlotfeld's gray image of Elvira, and senior Andrea Masoner' s many costume changes throughout the production. The set had a 1940' s background, complete with French swinging doors and characteristic drapery. Senior Elizabeth Hurt said, "It was very hard to work with," she admits, "but it all turned out nice in the end." The set was put together by the Stagecraft class, along with a lot of help from the Drama classes. One of the workers, senior James Hunt, was hit in the head during construction when a wrench fell off of a nearby ladder. Hunt said, "I was hurt and I was angry, but the only thing I could do was suppress my feelings." Some highlights of the show were the cast's numerous seances, the scenes with Elvira, Masoner's repeated attempts to keep the audience entertained and the "earthquake" scene at the end. There were many distractions, such as a coffee spill during a seance and a crying child, but the actors ignored them. They seemed focused on only the lines of the play. Hough said," It was tough concentrating on our lines, but we somehow pulled through." There were some problems with the construction of the set as well. Lighting was not as it was supposed to be because of some minor defects and the constructors ran out of wood halfway through building the sets. There were also some problems with the painting. White paint was spilled all over the floor. It was covered up, though, when the crew put down a black and white checkered floor, characteristic of the 1940' s mansion. ~ f!t g'~ Sµu& Charles Condomine Tim Hough Elvira Lisa Schlotfeld Ruth Condomine Edith Geeves Dr. Bradman Mrs. Bradman Madame Arcati Elizabeth Hurt Samantha Slyter Vincent Tobias Tyler Brown Jackie Gardner Andrea Masoner Seniors Jackie Gardner and Tyler Brown are introduced to senior Elizabeth Hurt and junior Tim Hough.

Depa~ "1 ~· ~ ,Q Makes "Fools" of Themselves ~t<f by Ricky Prosolow _ On April 25-26, the drama department's spring play, "Fools" was performed in the Thomas Jefferson Auditorium. Cast included senior Dylan Peck as Leon, sophomore Adam Ashley as Snetsky, senior Elizabeth Hurt as Slovitch, sophomore Jeff Smay as Yuri, sophomore Vince Tobias as Mishkin, senior Jackie Gardener as Yencha and senior Tyler Brown as Dr. Zubritsky. Unfortunately for the stage crew, they had only about three weeks to build the set, which meant hard work, extra time and bad attitudes. Junior Bryan Durgin said, "The set wasn't hard to build. The stage director (Mr. Gibson) was a little rough on everyone, though." The set was eventually finished, but some weekends were cut short. A lot of the cast had different views about "Fools" and "Blithe Spirit". Senior Tyler Brown said, "The difference was that 'Blithe Spirit' was all yerbal. You had to listen to understand it. 'Fools' was a lot more like a comical production." On a sad note, this was the last performance of some seniors on the TJ stage. Andrea Masoner, Brown, Hurt, Peck and Gardener were such seniors. However, these feelings of leaving forever only led them to a better performance. Many things went on that no one else knew about except the cast and crew. Sophomore Josh Fouts (one of the many towns people) threw up in the auditorium during a rehearsat and Masoner cracked a joke during a very important practice. Mr. Gibson was surprised that no one was anxious or even nervous about getting on stage. He said, "Everyone was sitting in little groups, talking and watching the play. This has never happened before." This appeared to be the attitude throughout. There wasn't a different point of view in anyone. Matt Stovall, a student teacher for Mr. Gibson, said, "I was really amazed at the ability and professionalism of the drama students. They worked really hard to put together a great production. It was better than 'Ca ts'." Seniors Tyler Brown and Andrea Masoner talk to the above for help.

The hard games won and lost, and the hard work of the athletes will be remember by the coaches, the players and the fans. The academics were a great accomplishment by the students and the faculty. The dances went without a hitch and were enjoyed by all. We all come together and made the lasting im- . press1ons. As the memories come to the end and the seniors moved on to college or the work force, the juniors will moved on to their senior year, while the sophomores and freshman have years to come, but everyone will remember the Lasting Impressions that we made while they we were here.

Not all weekends were fun though. Cox said, "The worst weekend I ever had was when I was with my cousin in Omaha, and we got caught in a drive-by shooting."

Senior Wes Ohle said, "My weeks are so full of school, homework, and work that if I didn't get a break on the weekends, I would go nuts!" Ohle added, "Weekends are very important to everyone, because it's a time when people can release their stress and frustrations and have a little fun." Junior Jenny Baker said, "I don't do anything on the weekends. Most of the time I just go to the Old Market and hang out and check out all of the guys!" Whether you stay home and sleep or go out and party, the weekends are something that were essential to the survival of students throughout the school year. 7f1hat was your most memorable ~ experience?

PPORTUNITY KNOCKS By Stephani Maron and Kylene Kermoade Z'uring the sumn1er, there were many opportunities available to students. Whether it was attending suffilTler school, camps or science research programs, students excelled in many areas. Some students spent their hot suffilTler in a classroom, rather than lounging in air conditioning or a cool swimnling pool. They took classes for such reasons as driving, making up lost credits and graduating early. Sophomore Jamie Aldredge took smnmer school to make up lost c r edits. Aldredge said, "It didn't really bother 1ne, I was home by 1:30 p.1n. anyway. " Cheerleaders and Porn Pon girls also spent the ir suffilTlers doing school related activities in the hot sun. The pep squads went to c am.p in ste ad of camp coming to them. "We didn't h ave a lot of time to relax, we had to practice and p rac tice. But after it was over, the practice was r e ally worth it," said senior pommer Nikki SITiith. T h e Porn Pon squad me1nbers all agreed that c amp had paid off after they received a bid to N ationals. There was a big change at c arnp fo r the che erleaders. It was the first year the y c ould build during cheers. Varsity mem ber Kristy Mille r said, "Building made us look so much b etter and it puts us farther ahead for competition."

The nature area was also maintained by the students. Senior Bill Young and freshman Jose Vargas spent their summer watering the trees in the Nature Area. Young said, "I like helping to maintain something that will be around in the future and people will be able to enjoy. " Parents became involved as well as students. Freshman Briana Smith and senior Nikki Smith's stepfather dug the trail, and also dug the pond. According to Mr. Schild the Nature Area was dedicated to the class of 1998. The Nature Area was open all year long. Activities were available for each season. Senior Matt Arnett's summer job was working at HyVee. Photo by Shane Snipes.

Hard ij Vacations and S~Jobs By Laura Fuhs, Dina Black , Toni Damgaard A1most all students have been on a vacation once in their lives, whether it be to another state or just to a local amusement park. Very few students have ever visited another country, but freshman Daniell Birchard was able to visit three, West Germany, Austria and Italy. "My favorite things were going para-sailing and sight seeing," said Birchard. There were also parts Birchard didn't enjoy so much. "The worst thing was sitting and talking to my relatives." Sure, this type of vacation takes a lot of time and planning, but when it comes down to it, it's one of the most exciting vacations one could ever take. ~ While some stu- .->enior Shannon Walters working at the new Dairy dents spent their Queen to earn his summer money.

Sophomore Sam Barta andjunjor Mike Stanfill both wanted to show their parents they had learned some responsibility. Barta said, "My mother thinks I am irresponsible and is sick of giving me money." Some people don't have the advantage because of their age or hairstyle. According to freshman Jared Osmers, he didn't get a job because he had purple hair and a mohawk. "They wanted me to dye my hair back and grow my sides out," Osmers said. Sophomore Angela Kim has another reason for not getting a job. "My parents would rather have me get my education than get a job because I have the rest of my life to work," she said. A lot of people found out this summer that having a job pays off, literally! no nm no TJ2 n3 J 9 Treynor 8 ----~-- 11 SC Heelan n 2 SC Heelan no Lc 1 TJ 3 St. Albert 5 TJ 2 Mo.

Marla Peterson and Arny Andersen led the varsity to a record of 10-24. The junior varsity finished at 7-9. Leading the varsity efforts was graduate Jenny Black with the highest batting average and the most RBI's and graduate Debi Midkiff with the most stolen bases. Midkiff and Black were named 1st team All-City. Junjor Melissa Rocha and Marti Hensley received honorable mentions. "Even though we didn't have a winning record, we improved a lot through the season, 11 said senior Brandi Lambrecht. The team selected Black as the MVP and senior Sarah Hulett for the spirit award. Sophomore Kelly Foster received a special coaches award. The junior varsity was led by freshmanNikki LaFerla with the highest batting average. Junior Jena Verpoorten had the most RBI's and sophomore Alex LeGuillou with the most stolen bases. Verpoorten was voted MVP and sophomore Kylene Kermoade was given the spirit award. 11 I had a lot of fun playing and I really learned a lot," said LaFerla. The team played in weather extremes. Whether it was playing in 106 degree temperature or not being able to play at all due to the rain. The softball players never knew what the week would bring them. Sophomore Jamie Schreiber said," You could never tell if our practice or game was on or off. We would all show up at the field and wait for Coach Peterson to let us know if we were playing."

Heelan 2 By Bobby Rich and Matt Erickson From sun burns to mosquitos the baseball team experienced it all. According to Coach Lee Toole, many of the underclassmen were great contributors to the team. "When you look at the overall picture, we had a very successful baseball season" , said Coach Toole. Following in the foot steps from the pa t season the baseball players tried to keep the winning tradition alive. Many players were moved up to varsity during the middle of the season. "It felt great to join the team and excel in many phases," said junior Jason Mcintosh. Junior Mike Perkins said, "The season went great, playing both junior varsity and varsity. It was fun." Seven jackets made it to the All-City. They were graduates Mike Zadina, Robert Willams, and Devin Schoening, seniors Chris Laferla and Tim Podraza, juniors Tom Parrack and Jason Mcintosh. One player had an outstanding week that can't go without mention, graduate Mike Zadina. In one week Zadina hit six homeruns. He also had thirty-one runs batted in, four doubles, and two triples. "That's a great week for any player at any level," commented Coach Toole. Sophomore Tom Reikofski went to a camp at Oklahoma State University. One thing they thought helped them was the fact that they had the oppurtunity to practice during the school year. "We caught almost all of the time except when they were explaining things, when we slept, and when we ate," said Reikofski. The players worked out in weight rooms and they worked on their pitching and catching abilities. The players also went over basic drills and plays.

Cover -covers Reflects Personalities By Jennifer Baker and Jill Hendrix They go anywhere from Elvis, Mickey Mouse or just a plain old brown paper bag. It is our everyday common bookcovers. Bookcovers do many things for your books. Freshman Robin Etherington said, "They are to protect your books so they can keep the books for years to come." It also gives the school a little extra money to spend on other things the school needs. When it comes to bookcovers junior J arni Adams says that she draws and writes her favorite sayings on her books. Every once in awhile Adams has to hide her books from her teachers, you never know what they are going to say about some of those words. Adams also said, "Bookcovers are teachers best friends." Also a good profit for some of those teachers that charge. In some ways bookcovers are bad for our environment junior J.D. Bogatz said, "Bookcovers are a waste of paper and should not be used. " Bogatz also added, "We are just killing the trees." The types of bookcovers people put on their books reflect their personality. Ones that are just thrown on their books, make people think that they are sloppy and lazy. Creative people that may put clippings of magazines may 1ead people to think they are creative and care what their books' appearance looks like. In every school you also have those people that don't care at all and come to class every day without a book cover. For those who do this they suffer the consequences of paying anywhere from 25 cents to 50 cents or what ever the teacher told them to pay. Many unique bookcovers are anywhere from sketches to going the extra mile to use money to go for the extremely snazzy looking bookcover to impress all your friends.

Students spent a lot of their time at their lockers, and they added their own personal touch and made them seem more like home. Junior Cori Zarek decorated her locker with cow print. "Since I spent all day at school, I wanted my locker to be more personal than a normal locker," said Zarek. Zarek was not the only one who wanted her locker to stand out from the rest. Junior Jena Verpoorten decorated her locker by putting green marble contact paper up. "For two years, I had to look at the pukey colors they paint the lockers, and I hated it," said Verpoorten. Others who had decorated their lockers were juniors Jessi Underwood, who decorated her locker with sunflowers and Jill Harrill, whose locker was all black and white checkers. There were also the students that went with the traditional posters. From pictures of the opposite sex or their favorite band and even pictures of them and their friends. Junior J.D. Bogatz has Nebraska football posters as well as hockey posters in his locker. Lockers were even decorated for each holiday season. Some used battery operated Christmas lights. Sophomores Brandie Jacoby and Kelly Foster shared a locker and decorated it for the holidays. "We used lights, made wire stars and snowmen. We also had stockings hung. This made us feel like we were in the holiday spirit," said Jacoby. So no matter what your locker looked like, whether it was clean or messy, it probably reflected your personality.

No, it's not the first day of school. It's your birthday. ·Everyone celebrates their birthday differently. Even though everybody is "different" there is still one holiday that everybody celebrates in some way. The old American tradition was to spend time with your family and your friends, while you eat cake and ice cream. Some people stick with it and others don't. Sophomore Derek Henry and freshman Jason Rassmussen spent time with their friends and families. Henry said, "I have cake and ice cream after my parents give me presents every year." Other people celebrate their birthdays like it is the best holiday ever. Scott Adams goes on a trip on his birthday every year. "Last year it was a blast. A couple of my friends went with me to Tampa, Florida to watch a Lightnings game." There was a funny incident one time when Danielle Eggett's friends threw a surprise party on her 11th birthday. "When I got there everyone was hiding in my bedroom and when I walked in there, I jumped and hit my head on the wall. I had a big bump on my head for two weeks!" Eggett said. The worst time to have a birthday is around the holidays, especially Christmas. Sophomore Susan Schutt has a birthday three days after Christmas. "I hate it because you don't get as many presents as you would during the summer," she said. Even though some people celebrate their birthday's differently doesn't mean that they are different. Everyone does something different.

Krisel Kerry Kriten Rachel Kritenbrink Mandi Krueger Nicole LaFerla Joey Lane I By Stephani Maron & Kylene Kermoade When asked how they spend most of their free time, many people say hanging out with their friends. Friends are important to people who are young, middle aged and those who are older. It could be said that friends play a key roll in almost everyone's life. Different people look for various qualities in their friends. Freshman Amanda Moore said, " I think friends should be able to keep secrets and stand beside you at all times." Junior Jamie Phillips said," The qualities I think a friend should have is that they are trustworthy and they won't judge you no matter what you do even if it's something that they believe is wrong." Friends can be very valuable to a person. " Friends are the ones who pick you up when you are down," said sophomore Pat Rose. Some people are lucky enough to have friends who would do almost anything for them. Social Studies teacher John McKinley said, "When I was building my house, my good friend came over and helped me build it even though it was 100 degrees outside." Some friends provide life and death functions for each other. According to a junior, the best thing that they have ever done for a friend was to keep them from driving drunk. There are also those friends that say they are your friends, but once you tum your back they are talking bad about you. You have to know when and when not to trust someone even if that means you have to learn the hard way. Always remember a friend is there for you and they stick together through thick and through thin. You can also become a very important part in someone's life. So in the end, stick with those friends who care for you the most and never let them go.

The competitor's came from every state like Iowa, Nebraska etc ..... People also came from country's like Saudi Arabia, Puerto Rico and various other places. At Drake University everyone walked around the track. Then the Junior Olympians were welcomed and congratulated. Hot air balloons, planes flying in the air.and sky divers that jumped from the planes all greeted the competitors. People ran around the track with a torch ,and then lit the big torch, just like in the Olympics. After that they let off fireworks. Freshman Lori Mc Vey said, "Seeing the opening ceremony was exciting. It made me feel like I was a part of the real Olympics." The next day all the Taekwondo competitor's performed their patterns (forms) at the Convention Center in Des Moines, Iowa. There were also Karate and Judo taking place at the Convention Center. All of the other sports were spread out in different buildings in Des Moines. The international sparring competition was held also on that day. International sparring is heavy duty fighting for two , ninety second rounds non-stop. The next day at the Convention Center was the opening ceremony for Taekwondo and for the sparring competitions. There were over 460 competitors. The total competitor's at the Junior Olympics was over 10,000 and 1,500 just from the state of Iowa. Mc Vey took third place sparring, "I think it's kind of cool that I took third, because of all of the people I had to compete against." Next years Junior Olympics will be held in New Orleans.

Junior Jennifer Baker remembers the first day her freshman year. "I remember all the bad things that people said about Tee Jay before I came, and I found out that most of them were not true, after my first week here, "said Baker. Other freshmen had different reactions about their first day. Freshman Jared Osmers said, "It was just like any other school, except it was bigger and had a lot more girls." Another worry on many freshmen minds was what the upper classmen were going to do to them. From elevator passes to being stuffed into a locker or trash can. Nothing but the worst was going through the freshmen's heads as they walked down the halls for the first time. Senior Casey McGrain recalls the first day of his freshman year. McGrain said, "I wasn't scared I paid off officer Kennedy in donuts to be my personal body guard until the day I graduated." Worrying about upperclassmen seems to be a common tradition among many freshman on their first day at school. Senior Matt Arnett said, "I don't try to scare freshmen, it just comes natural to me, or I think it's because I threaten to beat them with a wet noodle if they don't bow down to me and call me the Highlander. But that's probably not it.

Junior Silina Childers said, "I didn't even sign up for early bird and it was on my schedule." Due to the new system the counseling center was booked for weeks with students making changes. "It took forever just to switch from choir to French," said sophomore Jamie Pogge. Junior Lisa Mcintosh said, "I had an early bird class, a seventh hour and four study halls in between." By mid September (four weeks into the school year) most people were satisfied with their schedules. In reference to the new attendance system Assistant Principal John Neal said, "The system held so much more information on the students." There were so many glitches in the system it caused chaos in teachers, students and parents lives. For part of the year administrators switched off the new computer system to a different system that would be 100% accurate until the glitches were worked out. Other teachers and students were pleased with new computers in classrooms. A new room was built to accommodate 13 new Gateway computers. "It gives the students a chance to explore technology hands on," said instructor Bob Godfrey. Some of the students favorite modules were the robotic arm where students used a mechanical arm to understand a human arm. Also graphic arts, where students designed ads, t-shirts and hats. ew Traditions ... Big Hit Student Council Takes Active Role In School By Kristy Miller With new sponsors, Paul Hans and Julie McComas, Student Council started many new traditions begining with Homecoming. Having a king was probably the most talked about change. "I think it w_as good that we had a king because we were the only school that didn't have one," said senior Tyler Mandarich. A new tradition was also started at the carnival; live student bands performed in the courtyard. On Oct. 28, there was a Halloween party and bonfire. There were many activities including games, a dance, the limbo and costume contest. The winners of the contest were the Brady sisters, better known as juniors Cori Zarek, Jessi Underwood and Laurie . White. "Jessi thought of the idea. I thought it was cool, everybody really liked it," said Zarek. Throughout the year Student Council sold Yellowjackets for a fundraiser. There was a raffle at a pep assembly in which students bought tickets for a dollar. If their name was drawn they shot a basket, if they made itthey got one of the Yellowjackets. Senior J.J Poole who had previously broken two backboards slam dunking was chosen to shoot. He had to go to the locker room to change his shoes. "It was really cool to see someone from our school dunk," said senior Andy McAtee. Another fundraiser that the Student Council had was the money booth. Students paid fifty cents for a chance to get in the booth with money flying all around. The pep assembly that the money booth was at had been canclled three times due to the weather. However, it was worth it to the lucky students whose names were picked. "I'm glad I bought a ticket because I got twenty dollars out of it, that was pretty cool," said sophomore Nick Sorenson. To fi nish the year out, Student Council changed the whole election process for next year. Instead of everyone voting, students Junior Eric Hillerson gives his speech to the registered voters fo r the Student Council elections. Photo by Brad Harbold. were required to register. Registration took place during lunch the week before elections. Mayor Tom Hanafan, Superintendent Richard Christie and Officer Rob Kennedy helped out. The candidates were required to campaign, give reasons they would make a good member, give a speech and have teacher recommendations. "I think it wa better that we had to give speeches because, the students got to hear our ideas and vote based on what they heard," said junior Lindsey Konecny.

Along with the old traditions came many new changes. Some festivities included were the pep assembly, carnival, parade, game and dance. The royalty was announced at the dance instead of at the game this year. To start a new tradition a king was crowned as well as the queen. The Homecoming queen was Kristin Vogt and the first king was Chris LaFerla. " I was externally excited! I think it's great representation for the Fine Arts Department, a lot of times we don't get the recognition we work really hard for. It was neat that both Chris and I are involved in the Arts. It's a big honor and I was pleased to represent us,"said Vogt. S enior Mike Hartsook sits in the stands at the Homecoming dance and over looks everyone with a bag on his head. Photo by Brad Harbold. Homecoming week was celebrated by dressing to a theme each day of the week. Monday- hat day, Tuesday- clash day, Wednesday- switch day, Thursday- hippie day, Friday- spirit day. In hopes of getting more people to participate, Student Council gave a spirit flag to the class with the most spirit. The freshmen class won the flag at the pep assembly and paraded it proudly at the football game. Due to the fact Homecoming was early, there was only a couple of weeks to plan everything. "Considering the amount of time we had to prepare the student council did a marvelous job of making it all come together," said student council adviser, Paul Hans. There were many things to do at the Carnival, from throwing a pie in a fellow students face, to listening to a band in the courtyard. The theme of the dance was An Evening In Paris. The dance was Saturday Sept. 16. There was a great turn out for the dance. " I think that there were a lot more people this year at the dance because everyone was anxious to see who would be crowned," said senior Carrie Nelson. orking for the World .. ASTRA and NHS take an active roll in the community By Bill Young ASTRA won the Altrusa International Recognition Award. Third place was awarded to the club. The award was presented at the meeting in New Zealand. The award was given to the club that devotes the most time and dedication to their community. President Olivia Vargas said, " It feels good to be part of a group that's making its mark world wide." Among the many activities ASTRA helped throw a party for the children at Jenny's House. Here they helped the children paint their faces and played musical chairs. Also the club helped clean up the school's parking lot and the surrounding grounds. One of the continuing activities that ASTRA did was Up With Families. The members devoted one Saturday to help entertain the siblings of disabled children while their parents attended a peace weekend. Senior Brad Harbold said, "My favorite part of Up With Families was when 300 kids tried to drown me in the pool." The club's sponsors were Librarian Virginia Cantrel and journalism teacher Deb Goodman. The new year for National Honor Society brought a new face to the group. Science teacher Jim McKay took over as the sponsor. Also with the new year brought a higher standard for the inductees. The GP A requirement was raised to 3.8. The other requirements included community service and good recommendations from peers and teachers. NHS activities included a recycling project in the school, blood drives with the Red Cross and helping the Earth Angels with the Toxic Clean Up Day.

RESHME FavorTeams By Kylene Kermoade & Stephani Maron Z'oes five years of freshmen teams equal success? According to science teacher Brooks Schild, "The teams have been great! They allow more group work and were able to have interdisciplinary units. They also decreased the drop-out rate for freshmen, which is what was intended five years ago." The students viewed things a little differently, 56 % of the freshmen students said the teams were beneficial to them. On the other hand, 38% disliked them. Freshman Jonas Bose agreed with the idea of block classes. Bose said, "I like them because you are around a lot of your peers and also you get used to the school and what you have to do without just learning on your own." Freshman Cherie Wooley disagreed. Wooley said, " I don't like having freshmen teams because I feel it isolates the freshmen from the upperclassmen. I think we should be able to have as much freedom as the other students." Other freshmen had mixed feelings. Freshman DeLinda Long said, " I feel that they are treating us like children, but the teams do keep all of us together." "Teams are nice because you can go on field trips," said freshman Eric Erskins. The teams were able to take trips without interfering with a bunch of classes at a time. The Force team took a trip to the Waterworks, the Sewage Plant and Hitchcock Park. The Frosh team combined some trips with the units they were working on. When they were learning how to filter debris from water they also went to the Waterworks. The Sting team did their PBA (Performance Based Assessments) using a field trip. They went to the cemetery and studied different families. They also went to Hitchcock Park, the Old Market and bowling. The teams traveled to the Mall of the Bluffs to see the movieJumanji as a group reward.

That is how senior drum majors Kristin Vogt and Mark Fienhold started the band. Band took third at Victory 1995. They also took second at - River City round up and Glenwood. At state they received a one rating in their division. Junior Jamie Phillips said, 11 When we found out that we took second at Glenwood we were all so happy that we started to cry. 11 Vogt received the best drum major award at Glenwood. Vogt said, 11 The fine arts are my life. Music is something universal. You can be any age and be part of it and enjoy it. It's my way to communicate and I will be involved with it for the rest of my life. I'm glad I was a part of it in high school. 11 Band set out to do their best and they did. They always came back with some kind of award. The band had an addition to their group, the Color Guard. Because the Color Guard was so new, they didn't have a sponsor until the end of the season. Junior Co-captain, Jami Lobendo said, 11 I think we worked really hard, and I'm really glad I was a member. 11 Senior, Olivia Vargas said 11 I think we did really well considering we didn't have a sponsor and even though we were criticized we stuck through it to make a good group. 11 Freshman Erin Hilton said, 11 What I liked about Color Guard is that we had the opportunity to go out with the band and perform during football games. We also marched in parades and at competition. 11 Color Guard was also to perform during the winter season. Due to conflicts, the girls were not allowed to finish their season into the winter months.

'' ixth Tillle Is The Charm Choir Recieves a 1 Rating at State By Jennifer Baker 7wo, four, six years and finally a one. The choir department performed at Griswold, Iowa and the Jefferson Edition (J.E.) received a one rating for the first time in six years. Also the choir department received first place at the Bellevue East Conference. The students were very proud of placing first for the first time in a long time. Some students were proud of the J.E. even though they weren't in it. Junior April Hemmelsher said, "I am proud because we got a one in Contest and it hasn't happened for a long time since I have been here." Choir teacher Jerry Gray said, "They are a hundred percent improved, I got better at what I did, and I also started to understand High School music again." Mr. Gray also added that the quality was better, the attitudes have changed, and everyone is more positive. Choir is not just singing. Junior Jackie Gardner said, "I've learned so much about music from Mr. Gray, about how 60% of it's in your mind and all that, it's really true." Gardner also added that you experience a sense of accomplishment, like when you finally get that one song you couldn't get forever, and it turns out to sound so good no one can believe that you _?id it. Senior Courtney Zinger said since she has been in choir she has met a lot of new people. Zinger also started to become more involved in the school since she has met more people and become friends with a variety of people. Zinger summed it all up by saying, "It is a great experience if you want to met a lot of people both upper and under class men, and it is fun if you are serious about singing."

The class went to visit Fermilab near Chicago, Illinois. Members of the class fund-raised for the trip. Students flew out of Omaha's Epply airfield Thursday, April 11. After landing in Chicago, the class picked up rental vans. With a few of Mr. Hale's Biology students they toured the science museum near the downtown area. The class also played the tourist a bit and saw other sights in the downtown area, such as Hard Rock Cafe, Sears Tower and Michael Jordan's restaurant. Junior Diane Frazier said, "We went to the I-Max theater. Planetarium I-Max theater is a five story, dome shaped theater in 3-D. It's rounded to give the viewer the feel of moving when staying perfectly still." Senior Shelly Smith said," We got Lincoln heads, it is a mold of President Lincoln's head," Smith also told of her experience of the first time she ever tried pickle gum. It was on her nip with the ph sics class. For some of the students there was only a few words they could say about the trip. Senior Jason Crane said, "It was pretty cool and I learned a lot about Chicago, it was pretty cool and it was a lot of fun. " Frazier said that the traffic was awful and the food was expensive. Frazier also said, "Don't eat at Planet Hollywood unless you expect to pay out your nose.Literally." A staff physicist came to visit with the students to discuss much of the research going on at the facility. The students also visited the Lederman Science Center on the Fermilab campus, with hands-on activities to illustrate the work that goes on at Fermilab. "The trip went well. Students got to see first-hand how knowledge gained in the classroom~ used out there in the real-world," said physics teacher Ten-y Todd. By Kari Foster ?ltany changes came about in the cheer program. New cheers, new sideline dances, and a new dance to the school song. All of these changes came from the new coaches that came in the middle of football season. "It was time to make changes and get our program more updated, the new coaches have been very effective," said sponsor Joyce Schaefer. The coaches were college students from UNO. "Cheerleading was a whole new experience this year, it was fun learning how to build and it put us at a whole new level," said varsity member Kristy Miller. Freshman Nikki LaFerla said, "I can't say I looked forward to 6 a.m. practices three times a week, but they definitely paid off." Cheerleading tryouts were held March 23. "Tryouts were more difficult because of the changes in the program and the level of the routines were more updated than years past," said Mrs. Schaefer. The Porn Pon squad had many new members including freshmen. This was the first and last year for freshmen members according to sponsor Joyce Schaefer. The pommers held their annual dance clinic on Jan. 20.

Three seniors, Carrie Nelson, Matt Arnett and Brad Harbold attended journalism camp July 16-21 at University oflowa. The reason for attending the camp was to learn more about computers. While there they learned computer skills and computer language. "We didn't learn a whole lot there but it was great being a minority since there was one guy to every six girls . We had fun looking at all the girls," said Harbold. Arnett also added that , "Computers are the work of the devil" after spending hours on the computers. "We went to a toga party and we kept looking for John B~lushi to jump out some where and crush a can on his head , or something like that," Harbold added. One bad incident for Harbold and Arnett was when they broke a window and they had to pay approximately $244 each for the window. Camp was a peculiar experience for Nelson. After a couple of days she learned that the place she was staying was haunted. A long time ago three girls got killed there. "It was pretty freaky," said Nelson. With all the wealth of knowledge that they gained both publications took on a new look. "I feel the book will have more unique graphics because of all we learned," said Arnett. The newspaper also changed its looks. The staff no longer had to paste up their pages. "We worked with Mr. White in the print shop and used his laser printer so the pages came in one sheet,"said Nelson. "It was much easier and quicker to send it to Mr. White's room, and it would help out a lot if more people went to camp," Nelson added.

It was Mr. Gibson's first time and probably last time. He said he will never do it again, until next time.

"Getting people motivated and realizing, four days until we opened that we were still using scripts," was a worry for senior Kristin Vogt. Junior Dylan Peck said the Scottish accent was his major problem. Peck listened to speech coaches and took it from there to help him with the accent problems. Kilts? Well senior Tony Hodge said, "They are comfortable, little cold, little itchy, but I was relaxed." Peck also said that the kilts rocked, they were a little itchy but he'd wear one all the time.

This one game, however, did not set the tone fo r the season as the • Jackets finished their first season in the newl y formed Ri ver Citie ' Conference with a record of 2-7. Head coach Dan Strutzenburg, in his second year as head coach, commented on the season by saying," I felt that the whole team did a good job at improving as a whole. The offense made great stride to improve as a whole and the defense played very well and stopped th the opposing team at some key times, especi ally in the St. Albe11 game." Not only did the losing streak end, the Jackets also set a new re ord as senior Casey McGrain became the first Yellow jacket quarter-bac ' to pass for over a 1,000 yards, with a ground breaking 1,01 8. "I realized during the last game against Sioux City East that I was only 19 yards away from getting a 1,000 yards passing. Every ball that I threw made my heart stop until it was caught," said McGrain. "McGrain had experienced recievers and a predomi nant! senior offensive line to thank for the mile stone," commented Coach Strutzenburg. Coach Strutzenburg added ," I was especiall y happy with the offensive line consisting of seniors Andy Ryba, Jake Bittner, Bill Gre , Nick Gardner and Matt Arnett for giving McGrain the extra time that he needed.'' "It was a building year for our program, the coaches look forward to next season ," said coach Strutzenburg. VARSITY front: Andy Mcatee, MattAmett, August Manz.

Team Places Second In New Conference _... By Tammy Stuhr In hot temps, the girl's volleyball team had a camp. The camp was organized by head coach Mike Bond. The camp featur d Kelli Aspergan an All- American from the University of Lincoln. "It was really hot, we did a lot of drills, but after all it paid off," said sophomore Kylene Kermoade. "The drills that we went through really helped us out for our season," said sophomore Kelli Foster. This was shown through the number two ranking the team held most of the season. "The highlight of the season was when the teambeat the number two ranked team Iowa Falls in the Knoxville tournament," said sophomore Annie Hensley. The season started out with a triangular between Treynor and crosstown rivals Abraham Lincoln. "We came out pumped up and it really paid off," said junior Melissa Rocha. Even though in mid -season there were three people out due to injuries there were others who moved up to step in for them. Those injured included senior Courtenay Higganbotham,junior Laurie White and sophomore April Slack. The end of the season was big for the players and coaches. The team played AL in the district opener. "We were really excited, we wanted to up set their chance to go to state," said junior Laurie White. "We did not give the game to them, the girls came out and made them earn it, we had a great season," said Coach Mike Bond.

Everyone worked together and many improved their health, speed, endurance and overall self-esteem. Freshman Harvey Coble said, "I am doing better than I expected, but it comes natural to me because I have done a lot of running and I enjoy it. I believe that if you don't enjoy doing something then you do worse than you would if you enjoy it." Coble was an outstanding runner for the team. His goal was to place every race he competed in, and he did just that. Coach Doug Muehlig said,"I only want the best out of each runner, and if possible, an improvement from every runner." Mr. Muehlig went on to say that out of the 12 boys and 10 girls he is impressed with the teamwork and effort the team put forth. Both the boys' and girls' team earned the Academic award, for their outstanding GPA . Sophomore Katie Hunt said, "I thought it was a lot of fun, and now I run much better. I not only benefited physically, but also mentally." Sophomore Danielle Eggett said, "I thought the season went well, until I pulled the ligaments in my knee."

In the match against Omaha Bryan they were very competitive with Ben Faga leading in points, but they couldn't pull it off with the score 4 to 5 Omaha Bryan. The tennis team had one victory over Omaha South with the score of 9-0. Other Fall sports were girls' golf and boys' golf. Senior Nikki Allen said, "We may not have won any games, but we had a lot of fun ." The girls' golf team started the season with 18 girls and ended with 15 girls. They were able to have a Varsity as well as a Junior Varsity team. The team placed seventh in the Abraham Lincoln Invitational. "I had a really enjoyable season working with this great bunch of kids," said Coach Wayne Mains. "I think that Coach Mains did a great job in coaching the team and encouraging the players," said senior Shelly Smith. The boys' golf team didn ' t have many tournaments, because the team used the fall season as a warm up for the spring season.

If so, there are many opportunities available. In the auto shop class you learn to restore a car, and about many of the parts. The auto shop fully restored a 65' Ford Fairlane. The car was entered in a contest at Southeast Polk. The car was originally purchased for $150. After the car was restored there was a sealed bidding for a minimum of $1500. Carpentry is another career option. The woodshop taught skills for carpentry and architecture. The student in this class made things such as clocks, boxes, country shelves and a model house. N o t only did they build these items , they also designed them. Junior Shawn J ensen said," Takin g this class will help you prepare for the future if you plan to go into a field of constructio n or architecture. It's a class for the individual worker." In P.E. when you lifted weights, did you take time to look at the racks and equipment? The power welding shop built and repaired these things. Also, they repaired several items for the school dist1ict. One of the largest projects they did was build and design a hydraulic log splitter. The print shop entered a piece of their work into a contest in Nebraska. They brought home a bronze award. "It's a very hard competition, because we go against colleges, and we're just a high school with limited resources. I'm very proud of what we've done," said instructor Dave White. Almost everywhere you go there is electricity. In order to make the electricity work you have to have someone who knows how to work with it. In the metal tech class they learned basic electronic skills and also how to build many things out of metal. A basic industrial tech class was also offered. Students learned va1ious skills including some on the computer. Sophomore Kane Kuhn had only one comment. "Mr. Godfrey rules!" ress By Amie Groat eadlines ! Papers! Graduation! These are just a few things that stress students and faculty out around school. Stress is a common mental tension found everyday. But what is not common is the way they are relieving stress. Students relieve stress by spending time with friends, sleeping and beating up or yelling at other people. Junior Jodie Ziegler said, "I relieve stress by watching movies with my boyfriend Corey . " Watching movies and spending time with friends is the way a lot of students relieve their stress. Counselor Nancy Hale said, "I relieve stress by sitting back and thinking about what is really important." Having time to think about things really does help but most people don't have enough time. Other students may choose a violent way to deal with stress. Senior Traci Hamilton said, "When I am stressed out I hit my brother." Violent ways aren't always the answer but it does make you feel better. Freshman Amber Groat said, "When I am Jason Addison Misty Albertson Jamie Aldredge Joshua Aldredge Chris Andrews Terri Ashley Amanda Baker Joshua Baker Nikki Baker Enjoli Barksdale Jason Barlow Samuel Barta Rochelle Barth Brandie Bates Carrie Baxter Shawn Beu William Biede Jessica Birk Jessica Bittner Dina Black Randi Blakeman stressed I yell at everyone and blame it on them." This is very common to blame your stress on everyone else instead of dealing with it. Groat said, "I don't mean to blame it on everyone its just normally my first instinct to yell at everyone." There are still those people who just relax after a stressful day. Teacher Sam Martinez said, "I just sit back with a cup of coffee." Just to sit back and relax is always another good way to relieve stress, but a lot of people just don't have the ti me. Yettherearealways the students who either do not have stress or do not deal with it. Senior Jessi Fritz said, "I just try to forget about everything that is bothering me and go to sleep." There are still students who still don't know how to relieve stress. Mrs. Hale's advice is, "Maintain good relationships with people, and focus on what is really important." Sophomore David Young is about ready to pull his own head off as he sits in class. Stress conquers many students during the long days of school. Photo by Brad Harbold.

Seldom do we expect to enter into the "Twilight Zone". Junior Brandy Von Fumetti said, "I went out on a date with this guy, I had the worst time. We went out to dinner and he acted like he didn't want to be with me. Later that night we went to Snoball, I thought he wouldn't act like such a jerk, but, I was wrong. During the last song he went off and danced with another girl. I was really embarrassed because everyone was coming up to me and telling me my date was dancing with someone else, like I didn't know." Senior Tisha Davis said, "We went out to dinner and I was having a great time, when we went up to go pay our bill he got out his check book and they said that they did not take checks so I had to dig up enough money to pay our bill and it was not actually cheap.

Freshman Kami Hammond said,"We went to a party and when we were getting ready to leave his car would not start so we were stuck out in the cold with no ride home." Junior Jami Lobendo said,"We went to a dance and he was much taller then me so it looked really weird when we danced, and everyone was making comments about how strange we looked." "Hey baby!

Too late for breakfast you pour a glass of milk, YUCK, it's sour! You finally make it out the door to your car, that won't start. Just a bad day or is it bad luck? Junior Colleen Stanford says," When bad things happen to you it's bad luck, just like when good things happen it's good luck." Others would disagree. Sophomore Kelly Foster said, "I don't believe in bad luck , whatever happens to you just happens." "There's no great power that controls luck and there is no such thing as an unlucky person. You control your own destiny," said teacher Brooks Schild. "There's no such thing as luck, but there is a medieval Satan worshiper named Gi Gi chasing us all around trying to do us all in," says senior Lucus Hennings. Those who believe in bad luck have some different explanations for why people get it. "When I have bad luck it's because of all the mirrors Ky lene Kermoade Laura Kier Angela Kim Michelle King Derike Kinzie Leslie Knecht Jeremiah Knutson Julie Koenig Kristina Korte Lance Kramer Kane Kuhn Jeremiah Landon Micheal Lane Julia Larison Sarah Larson Alexandra LeGuillou Kristie Lewis Stephen Lewis April Lindberg Jose Lopez Shad Mahanke I've broken," said sophomore Troy McAtee. For some people bad luck is part of their everyday life. They seem to fall into it everywhere they go and everything they do.Junior Lindsey Konecny said," Bad luck seems to follow me , I can't get away from it. In two weeks, three cars I drove broke down. Two were wrecked and the other one's power steering went out. The only good thing was that I wasn't in any of the cars." Bad luck can be something that catches you off guard. Sometimes it happens right out of the blue without warning. Sophomore Jessica Bittner said, "I just poured a bowl of cereal when my dog ran in front of me and knocked me over. It was right by my stairs and I fell down them. I had cereal and bruises all over me." Even if you have bad luck, remember that luck goes both ways, maybe you'll run into some good luck. Junior Lindsey Konecony looks at her third wrecked car in two weeks. She hopes that her string of bad luck is over or is close to being over. Photo by Brad Harbold.

By Jennifer Baker and Heidi Redmond eople have a lot of time on their hands, but there are those people that only have time to eat, sleep and work. That is the average plan of some students. Notice how you never have the time to play or just read a book? Well junior Jackie Gardner said, "My 'free' time is really my 'nothing' time, where I just layup in my room and listen to music or whatever." Most students work and don't have much free time at all. You would think a teen has time to have fun on the weekend, but they don't. Most teens work on the weekends to earn extra money. Gardner said that she works on Friday and Saturday nights and sometimes Sunday afternoon. During the weekend some people think about others and volunteer their time to helping others.

No matter what you do in your free time the on 1 y thing that really matters is that you are having fun at whatever you are doing. For some students freetime is a time of relaxation or practicing the sports that they enjoy. Senior Courtney Zinger said," I like to spend time practicing some new softball techniques." Senior Jeremy Meyer likes to spend his freetime teaching karate classes. So no matter how you spend your freetime just remember it is your own time of relaxation .

Well here there are a lot of "books" that haven't been opened. It seems that people were judged everyday by others who didn't even know them. Sophomore April Slack said, " People think that I'm a snob just because I'm a cheerleader." Many stereotypes are passed upon people in activities, clubs or sports. Sophomore Brian Clark said, " Just because I was in Ironmen kids thought I took steroids, and I didn't." Students aren't the only victims of judgement; teachers are victimized too. History teacher John McKinley said, "I think most teachers are stereotyped as being boring and not doing anything interesting outside of school." Freshman Tony Jordan had a lot to say. "I was in a class with all upperclassmen and since I was a freshman, everybody thought I was dumb when I actually had better grades than them." There are always two sides to every story. Junior Andy Siverston April Slack Adam Smith Jeremy Smith Mark Smith Summer Smith Shane Snipes Malissa Snyder Josh Sorensen Nick Sorenson Valerine Sparvell Nick Stahl necker Rachael Steinke Heather Steskal Jamie Story James Stouder Dan Strietbeck Kevin Stuhr Brenda Sturm Randall Surbeck Autumn Tackett Nate Marr said, "When you see some dude walking all bad with his hat on backwards, you assume he's a gangster wanna-be, when he could just be some dork wandering around without a clue. I try not to stereotype people, but sometimes it's hard to resist." Jordan went on to say," That comment right there pretty much explains stereotypes. Ignorant people labeling someone before they stop to check out what the person is really like." Not all students think that they are labeled. Junior Heidi Redmond said, "I don't thjnk that I stand out that much. People don't judge me because I don't judge other people." "Just think of all the interesting people that could have been discovered if we just gave them a chance," Redmond also commented. Junior Jami Adams shows off the look that most people like to stereotype. Adams had lost her job over the summer due to the fact that she had dyed her hair green. Photo by J.D. Bogatz.

"I asked Jessi to cover me while I walked across the store, but she walked real fast so I was stuck walking across, holding the dress up . and everyone in the whole store was watching me. It was the worst," said Vargas. There were many reasons students didn' t attend the dance some of them were work, no date, no money and some students just didn't want to go. Senior Matt Arnett said, "I had to work that night but I wasn' t going to go anyway" . " I went to a Christmas party instead," said junior Jamie Phillips. Approximately 350 students attended the dance. "Student Council did a wonderful job planning and decorating for the dance. It was great to see so many students having such a wonderful time," said Student Council sponsor Paul Hans. The court was announced at 9:30.The king was Bill Young. "I was flabbergasted that I was voted king of my school, I guess people must like me, "said Young. The queen was Kristy Miller. " I was really surprised I about started crying. I wasn't expecting it because I heard that someone else won,'' said Mi lier. Senior Brian Webster observes the crowd as Pretsoul plays. Photo by Ryan Wood.

The whole school was "a buzz" with Valentine's Day excitement. Students spent the week before preparing for the big day by buying everything from balloons to teddy bears. "I spent $175 on a balloon bouquet for my girlfriend that I designed by myself. It looked like a hot air balloon," said Kris Shannon. Some people just bought valentines for all of their friends, bringing back the elementary school tradition. Others just couldn't seem to get into the spirit. ?reshmen Heather Selin and Heather Driver take a spin out on the dance floor. Photo by Ryan Wood. For the first time in 15 years the Sweetheart Dance hosted a live band called Pretsoul. Many things went differently considering that pictures were taken at the south ·hall of the fieldhouse instead of upstairs. There were also no male sweethearts crowned. Freshman Larissa Christensen, sophomore Nikki Brown, junior Lindsey Konecny and senior Mikki Chullino were crowned the class sweethearts. The annual dance was held on Friday, Feb. 16from 7-lOp.m. in the New Fieldhouse. Although the dance may have been memorable for some people, the real fun came afterwards. Junior Angi Garges said, "After the dance, me and my date went to Family Fun Center, and then we went bowling at Brunswick. " With hearts flying, and candy hearts being devoured by the second, the fourteenth day of the second month was meant to be the day for couples, and will be forever. Valentine's Day is looked upon differently by everyone, but one thing is for sure. Cupid was on the prowl. And maybe, just maybe, he got a bullseye this time.

The Children's Theater performance was, "Snow White and The Seven Gold Miners of the Black Forest". Junior Jackie Gardner said, " I had so much fun. The audience really made it a great show. I became good friends with a lot of people that I otherwise might not have gotten to know." Freshman Sarah Fields added, "It was a good experience. I made a lot of new friends and learned a lot about our Drama Det t II par men. Other than meeting new people Gardner also learned how to put on her makeup. She said, "It took about an hour the first couple times, but the last show was a breeze. I got it done in 20 minutes." Junior James Hunt had to say, "It's great to be involved with others th at act like fools." fJunior Dylan Peck played Queen Bella 's slave Dim Witty. One of Peck's jobs was to get rid of Snow White.

A lot of students learned a lot about their characters and had wonderful things to say about the play. It was a great first experi ence for some students that joined the play this year. Fields said, " I thought it was a great first experience and I'm looking forward to doing more plays and being in drama." Gardner added, "I would recommend it to anyone. It gives you a chance to become a character and re-enter a 5- year-old's world of witches and talking animals." This was a play that anyone could go see no matter what age they are. It was a play that kept one interested during the entire performance. ~ow do you feel about ~languages?

By Matt Erickson ~at do you think of when you think of foreign languages? Probably just another boring class you really don't care about. Well it's not, they actually do things. For example the French class went on their eighth annual French dinner . In the past, they have been held at The French Cafe, The Omaha Club and V Mertz. French instructor LaRue Martinez said, "I like teaching French because I'm constantly learning new things and I like helping students at such an exciting time in their lives. " Freshman Melissa Uhl said, " I like French because it teaches me about a new culture and a new language." In Spanish they explored a whole new realm in studying the language of our native friends. Although Verla Mohn was not with us during the school year Mr. Joungman proved to be a capable replacement. Sam Martinez also taught some sections of Spanish. In his classes Mr. Martinez stressed the verbal content as well as the written work. He had daily practice to help the students master the language. Mr. Joungman has been a teacher for over 20 years and came here in mid-November. "The students here are very nice and honest, I haven't seen as much cheating here as I have seen at other schools," said Mr. Joungman. Sophomore Ryan Woods said, "It's fun learning a new language it's something different." In Russian class they worked on studying the language of funny letters and numbers . They also worked on how to speak the language. Irena Abramova was the teacher of the Russian class. Ms. Abarmova was only here for one year and returned to Russia at the end of the school year. "I'm having a great year so far," she commented. Senior Carissa Hayes said, "Russian is great." 1fJhy do high school students "Because of state budget cuts, we are forced to create revenue for the school by fundraising.

By Kylene Kermoade & St ephani Maron 7he F- word. If you want to participate in anything you will do it. Fundraising. Different organizations do different things to raise money. The money they raise goes towards various causes. Some fundraise for trips, charity, or to put back into their own spending fund. Business prep teacher Julie O'Doherty fundraised for a trip to Phoenix to attend a National Business Professionals of America student conference. A class of 13 students sold candy and holiday novelties to raise money for their tiip. Student Council members also have continued to fundraise. Some of their money makers included the selling of stuffed Y ellowjackets, the Homecoming and Snoball dances, the Homecoming Carnival and the money booth. Members voted on where the money should be spent. Student Council sponsor Paul Hans said, 11 Because of state budget cuts, we are forced to create revenue for the school by fundraising. 11 The boy's basketball teams fundraised by holding a pancake feed . The freshman, j unior varsity and varsity teams then scrimmaged against each other. The money they raised went to their traveling fund. Out of goodwill, $250 was collected by students for the CB Public Library, then it was matched by ASTRA to equal $500. Bluffs Run Casino also matched the $500 donation to make it $1000. This money was then donated for the new library. ASTRA also sold carnations on V alentine's Day. Senior Oli via Vargas sai d, 11 It's great that we fundraise to h elp the community. It ge ts the whole school involved in improving our image." The sc i ence department filled the stomaches of students and faculty every morning selling muffins, donuts and orange juice. Students and faculty also worked tog ether at Hy-Vee to raise money. These funds went to a scie nce trip to Chicago. Money left over went to a sc holarship fund. Fundraising is a part of everyone 's high school life. Whether one's buying or selling they are part of the fundra ising activity.

" Sleeping in the cabin was the best, 11 said student Sarah Talbott. For some associates and teachers camp was a new experience. " We had an absolute great time, everything went really smooth and the kids did a great job, 11 said teacher Donna Mott. "It was a great experience, I had a good time, it was good for the students and I survived, " said history teacher Don Hansen. rain Teams Broaden Base O.M To State, Brain Bowl Competes by Tony Palmer Building a bridge to support weight, solving a major problem with just two minutes to come up with a solution, and conducting a skit to show a way to solve a world problem. That's what faced the Odyssey of the Mind team. The team went on to state for the second year in a row, after an impressive showing at regional competition. "I'm very proud of the group for their teamwork and effort," said Coach Al Hudek. The team worked hard in preparation for their trip to state.They practiced every Tuesday, Thursday and some weekends. "We put in a lot of time into preparation and details. The team even met on weekends for two or three hours," said freshman Jennifer Maron. The team finished 10th in the state in the crunch competition, 7th in spontaneous and 5th in skit. "I really enjoyed performing our skit. It gave me a chance to play my violin, it was fun and brought out the team's creativity, " said junior Dan Riley. At the end of the year the senior team members found that they would miss competing more than they thought. "Odyssey of the Mind was a real challenge, and now that I'm going on to college I realize how much I'll miss i , " said senior Aaron Baxter. Tee Jay's Brain Bowl team participated in the Peru State competition on April 1 and the Bellevue University competition on March 1. The team placed sixth out of 24 teams, from all over eastern Nebraska and western Iowa, at Bellevue. "We've got a good team this year, but we're losing a lot of seniors . We need to do a lot of recruiting for next year," said Coach Hans. Senior Mark Fienhold sets up a prop the team would later use in the O.M. skit competition. Photo by Brad Harbold.

Senior's like this class so much because it gave them a chance to get out of school early and still get credits for it. " I like the class because it get's me out early," said senior Tyler Mandarich. The class was in a big demand that they had to split the class into two. Wayne Mains and Tom Vincent were the teachers of the two classes." My class worked very well this year. I feel they accomplished a lot, and learned a lot as well," said Mr. Mains. The class taught students a lot about the reality of the real world and the facts there are about working in the real world. "My class was really fun. The teachers were really nice. They made sure that everybody got to know everybody really well," said senior Robert Meyers. There was yet another class that required certain abilities and certain feelings for the work. This class was The Society Of Engineering. The class is taught to teach students about engineering and certain parts of this field of the work world. Al Hudak was the person teaching the class. " I think my students did very well. They did a very good job," said Mr. Hudak. The students were taught how to build architectures. The students were to build a sculpture of a building. " All of us decided to make a model of the school. We thought it would be appropriate since we are in school and all, " said senior Shannon Walters. The students were to build the model and then place it in a contest with several schools." We didn't win but we did very well we thought," said sophomore Luke Gutzwiller.

One of the major projects that the Deca class did the happy pack, which is a coupon book. "The Beehive is a lab to the students of the Deca, "said sponsor Gary Bannick. The Beehive was to try to teach them marketing skills. The year of 1996 marked the 50th year nation wide for the Deca program. Two students won the honor to compete at Nationals in Orlando. They were senior John Cahill and junior Tom Elliff. Not only was Deca active, BP A (Business Professionals Of America) was active. Heather Davids said, "I have a lot of fun in BPA class." "The highlight of our year was meeting other students, and making new friends at competitions. We have also made it to the national competitions in Phoenix, Arizona on May 1-5. Over 7,000 students from all over the United States were there," said sponsor Julie O'Doherty. Thirteen students went to Des Moines on Feb. 25-27.

" ompeting and Conserving Ac Dec Goes To State, Angels Created Recycling Program By Sonya Fisher 1Uhile many students were enjoying their summer, the Academic Decathlon team was at school preparing for their future competitions. Academic Decathlon was a nation wide competition that involved 10 tests in ten areas. The tests included science, math, fine arts, language arts/literature, economics, essay, speech, interview, social sciences and super quiz. Unless one enjoyed taking tests, they might wonder why being involved in Academic Decathlon was so fun. According to senior Greg Valyer, " It's just fun studying all that cool stuff. I'll never forget our trip to Minneapolis my junior year, we stayed at a really big, really fancy hotel that had a mini mall in it." "Ac Dec filled up all my free time, but it helped me prepare for college and develop a work ethic," Valyer said. Earth Angels was an environmental group. They ran activities such as the TJ vs. AL canned food drive, school clean ups and city wide Earth Day elementary art competitions. "All of the earth angel members worked hard during the year trying to clean-up the local area while keeping the environmentalist outlook as prominent in school as possible," said junior Dan Riley. Earth Angels collected and recycled paper most of the year. "Earth Angels was a great experience because it made me realize how important it is to do your part in keeping the earth clean," said senior Ramanda McDaniel. One of the many things that Earth Angels does is take care of the recycling cans, as demonstrated by junior Dan Riley. Photo by Deb Goodman.

Frequenting the coffee shops was very popular among the students, so Orchestra decided to bring the coffee shops to the students. During the evening of Nov. 20 the Orchestra students took the coffee shop to the cafeteria. The evening featured The Monticello strings, jazz band, songs and dance talent. Orchestra teacher Brenda Copeland said,"This year has been a very good year all around the students are putting forth all of their effort to make the year a good year." Junior Jami Reid said,"! think that Orchestra has been a big challange, I really enjoy being with all of the students that are in Orchestra." On Feb. 29 the Orchestra, and a few of the band members spent the day at Abraham Lincoln High school to prepare for the All-City concert. Freshman Spring Madsen said,"! thought that being with theA.L. students would be a really bad experience, but A.L. turned out to be very fun and they were really nice and polite." The Jazz Band included 19 selected members of the band. The Jazz band took third place in the Bluffs Jazz Festival. Senior Jeff Ketcham said,"The year went by very well, like in everything else you have those that drop out, and you have ones that stay with it, we found that out this year."

That's how head coach Colin Smith characterizes basketball. "There were times this season when we played like a team but there were other times that we didn't," said Coach Smith. Finishing with a record of 6-15, the team had their share of ups and downs. The team's first and most exciting win came against Roncalli in the River Cities Conference Tournament. Junior Tommy Parrack's 3-pointer with just two seconds left, lifted the Jackets past the Pride 83-80. "I got the in-bound and threw up a shot, it was the greatest feeling when it went in," said Pairack. The team got a lot of leadership from Parrack, who led the conference in scoring. Senior Matt Lippert also stepped up and made his presence felt on the court. "I was proud of the leadership Lippert displayed on the court, he kept the team in the flow," said Coach Smith. The Jackets headed into district play on a high note after defeating Lewis Central 74-71, but luck wasn't on the team's side as they lost a hard fought game to Sioux City West in the first round. "I felt like the team was coming together, but it just wasn't meant to be," said Lippert. "I am optimistic about the development of the juniors and the program this year. The Jacket basketball program is on the way up," said Coach Smith. Junior Jerry Thomas goes strong to the basket against a Lewis Central defender. Photo by Brad Harbold.

Benson 60 Lewis Central 45 By Tammy Stuhr The New Conference was not all the girls' basketball team had to face, they also had a tough schedule. The girls faced two of the nationally ranked teams, Abraham Lincoln and Sioux City South. "It was really humiliating when we played them," said junior Silina Childers. The girls traveled to Sioux City South and were beaten by 98 points. During the season the girls played Lewis Central they lost to them by 30 points but on Feb. 15 they faced off with them again and cut there loss, to only be beaten by 9 points. "The girls really improved since the beginning of the season. We had a lot of girls who really didn't care, but at the end of the season they really buckled down and played their kind of the game,"said Assistant Coach Raffel York. The season was played with injuries. Sophomore Annie Hensley was down with shin splints, sophomore Andrea Burns with a sprained ankle, senior Megan Korte sprained an ankle and senior Brandi Lambrecht had a shoulder injury. "The highlight of the season was probably when we defeated Malvern," said Lambrecht.

Kuemper Win Loss Win Loss Win Loss Numbers By Brandie Jacoby At the beginning of the season numbers were low for th wrestling team. As the season went on wrestlers were dropping one by one. Injuries were the number one opponent for the season. Coach Mike Witt was frustrated with not being able to fill all the weight 1 classes. The team lost meets due to forfeits. Many underclassmen had to step up and fill the roster for th varsity squad. "I liked wrestling varsity because it gave me better competition. I wasn't nervous because I have been wrestling all my life," said freshman Nick Blanchard. The dual record was 3-10. The grapplers lost several matches b a small margin of points. Tournaments did not fair well for the team because of the small numbers. Districts were held at A.L. Witt was pleased with the wrestler performance even though we had only one champion and state qualifier. Senior Corey Childers (160) placed sixth ; sophomore Mark Smith (119) took fifth . Senior Chad Childers (152), j unior C'Sea.n Witt (189) and freshman Nick Blanchard (103) fi nished fourth. Senior August Manz was the lone champion advancing to th state tournament in Des Moines. He was disappointed with his two losses at state but was happy to make it to the tournament. Junior Larry Wajda broke the fastest pin record on a match against Missouri Valley. He pinned his opponent in 12 econd . , "I was very excited after I pinned my man. I didn 't even believe · how fast the pin was, I was just happy to get the pin," said Wajda.

Nguyen lifts weights every day for at least one hour to keep in shape. "Being in Ironman is a good way to get fit. The only thing I don' t like about it is the muscle aches I get when I over do it. Other than that, it's a lot of fun." Nguyen added. Junior Crystal Cline said, "Strength begins with the mind. I can only bench 75 pounds right now, but I like the fact that I can lift in front of people without being criticized. The guys are good about that. They treat us just like they would any other member of Ironmen. " There were three girls in Ironmen this year. Cline said, "I don't think it's right to call it 'Ironmen ' when there are women on the team, but back when they began Ironmen I'm sure there were only men in it. It's still mostly men so I really don' t mind, but if they were to change it, maybe they could call it Iron Power." If you are considering building your biceps, these Ironmen, or should we say people, have a few tips . Hunt said, "Don' t expect to get big right away. Take your time working out. If you push your elf too hard too fast, you ' ll just end up hurting yourself! " Hunt added, "Steroids are not the way to go. Drugs limit your respiratory system and will eventually cause major damage to your whole body. Ju t say NO!" Cline said, "Start working out about five days a week and eventually you'll get the body you want, but don't expect drastic changes immediately because you 'II just be disappointed. You have to have patience to be a body builder." Unlike the Ironmen, the swim team had only one representative from T.J. That student was freshman Ryan Redding who finished the swim season with 62.5 total points.

Case Lorimore-Tennis ball throw Compete By Tammy Stuhr & Jessica Schuster In this world there are thousands of very special athlete that can run faster and throw a softball farther than most people. Every four years they go to the Olympics to show the world what they do and how good they can do it. But every year in Council Bluffs a group of special kids with slight disabilities go to their very own Olympics , the Special Olympics. This was one of the most exciting Olympics that the students have seen in a long time. The students took first and second place in most of the events. Some of the first place winners were Jennifer Smith and Kelly Briggs in the softball throw. Adam Briggs, Ri chard May. and James Strode all took first place in their events. There were a lot of other ribbons won by the students. The students are already practicing for next years Olympics during free time and during their P.E. Class. Sophomore Rick Neumann said, "I can't wait until next year." Mens' volleyball was another group that competed during the year. Junior Danny Lamkins said" through leaky roofs and cold temperatures we played it through." Senior Toby Fisher said, "We had fun and it was a good year. We had a small team and it was very young." But by the end of the season the team had to forfeit the finals because only three out of thirteen players showed up for the finals. Due to a lack ofleadership and commitment by the team next year looks really bleak, said Coach Sharon Semler Junior Jason Mcintosh said" We had our ups and downs but we djd it."

By Stephani Maron and Kylene Kermoade 9or hundreds of years, people have experimented on thousands of different things. These experiments have led to discoveries and learning of ages to come. Science teachers were able to break the old tradition of classroom lectures with different experiments including dissecting, slime, bubbles and static electricity. Physics teacher Terry Todd taught his class about the effects of static electricity. His students put their hand on a ball which made their hair stand on end. Junior Eric Hillerson said, "I learned that like charges repel each other." When asked why experiments were better than lectures, the whole class answered, "experiments keep us awake." Zoology classes spent their last few months of school studying different organisms and ways of survival. These zoology classes dissected such animals as earthworms, crayfish, frogs and fetal pigs. Sophomore Natasha Williams said, "Dissecting is just plain gross. It smells really bad too. It's even worse when your partner won't help you!" The students studied various systems along with their dissecting units. Chemistry classes were kept alive by many experiments. One of them was the study of combining different chemicals to see the reaction. By adding two chemicals together, slime was formed. Not to much was to be said about this. Junior Lem Sheard said," Slime is cool." Bubbles added a lot of fun to the class. The classes learned about surface tension while examining bubbles. They looked for how large they could get and how they formed. Junior Marc Berry said," I think I want to major in Bubbleology." No matter what the experiment was, they all seemed to keep students awake and involved. ~ow do you like having l ~ -. //. ~ ~·~ -. ~ - . .? ong-term ~~ "It's hard on students when teachers leave for a long period of time, but I would rather have one substitute than a million different ones.

Photo by J e r eniy Maschmeier. _.,,~ J By Stephani Maron & Kylen.e Kermoade VV'hat's it like to walk into a classroom and not recognize the teacher? Students in various classes were faced with this problem, as many substitute teachers replaced the old ones. Many teachers were replaced long term. Since the first day of school, Dean Joungman substituted in the Spanish classroom for Verla Mohn. Due to illness, Ms. Mohn was out for the year. Mr. Joungman said," I enjoy long term subbing! I feel like I am fulfilling a need." Joe Schik came to finish off the year after English teacher Anita Eckley fell ill at the end of the first semester. Mr. Schik said," It's not bad teaching long term. It allows me to work with the students on a regular basis. It gives me a chance to watch the progress and learning that takes place over a long period of time. 11 Math teacher Gary Pogemiller took a two month leave of absence while having foot surgery. Kim Jones took over while he was gone. "I like long term subbing a lot better than substituting for one day. It gives me a chance to develop a relationship with the students, so I can actually teach. 11 It seemed like most substitutes enjoyed long term subbing, but student's opinions varied. Sophomore Amanda Baker said," It's hard on students when teachers leave for a long period of time, but I would rather have one sub then a million different ones." On the other hand, freshman Krissy Mandolfo said,11 I don't like them because they come in not knowing about the school or how things are taught, and then things get all mixed up." A trip to Russia left teacher John McKinley's classroom with a substitute teacher for the month he was gone. Mary Ann Hanusa covered his classes while he was gone. There were also substitutes coming in on just a dayto-day basis.These faces were seen ever where when teachers were sick or took personal days. ---------- - -- - --- - -- ,,... ---- - - Things That Make You Go By Toni Damgaard Jamie Adam · Scott Adams Lind. ay Aherns Kellie Aldmeyer Lindy Aleksiak Amy Anderson Robert Anderson Cesar Arredondo Amber Baker Jennifer Baker Jeff Barnhouse Stephanie Bazemoore Scott Beckman Martina Bell Wendy Belt Christina Benedict Marc Berry Jeff Bertelsen Kyle Bird Melissa Blanchard Sarah Blanchard Robert Boettger J.D.

The habit that annoys fre shman Lisa Goldsberry the most is when people pass gas and then laugh about it. Teacher Pat O'Doherty says, "The thing that irritates me to no end is when when students are late to class." A lot of times friends have very annoying habits, too. Senior Chris Lawrence says, "My friend Brad Wahl blinks and twitches too much and it drives me nuts!" Senior Jessi Fritz said her friend Kellie Oles talks way to much and way to loud and that's her bad habit. Senior Angela Brown said, "I flirt too much when I don't have a boyfriend, then I end up being called by dorks I really don't want to talk to. Unfortunatly, some of them don't get the picture and I have to get mean!Another problem I hav is that I never seem to have tb courage to go up to the ones I do like!" Journalis m teacher Deb Goodman said that three of her students bad habit was their use of four letter words.It got so b ad that she started to charge them a quarter for every bad word. Seniors Brad Harbold and Matt Arnett said," Our bad habit is that every hour is happy hour, and four letter words." Senior Amie Groa t and Mrs. Goodman both admit that they bite their nails habitually . Groat says, "We had a contest to see who could grow their nails the longest. The winner had to buy the loser a bottle of fingernail polish. I'm way too nervous all of the time to stop biting my nails, so of course I lost. " Most people hope they do lose ... ..............

We all have something of our own that we treasure the most. Prized possessions can be an object or just an important person in your life. Everyone has a different opinion when it comes to their most prized possession. It does not have to be a specific object that means a lot to you. It can be an important person in your life. Sophomore Michelle Ryan's most prized possession is her boyfriend. Ryan said,"! love my boyfriend very much". Junior Susan Mc Vey's most prized possession is her boyfriend. Mc Vey said, "My boyfriend is the most important thing in my life. He is really sweet to me and likes to spend time with me." To some people prized possessions are for sentimental reasons and price value . Geometry teacher Mark 1VIeyer said his most pri zed pos ession falls into both categories. Mr. Meyer said, "My boat cost me a lot of money but I also get a lot of enjoyment from it." Mr. Meyer's friend got him into boating one summer and he's enjoyed boating ever since. Senior Brian Richardson's mo t prized possession is his drum kit that his father bought for him. Richardson received his drum kit because hi father noticed Brian's progress and decided to buy the drum kit for him. Some prized possessions are those that you care for. Prized possessions can be people that are close to you. Junior Sandra Murphy says,"To me I think my most prized possession is all of my friends. My friends are always there for me and I'm close to all of them." So whether it is sentiment, price value or just simply because you think it fits your personality, your prized possession is one of the most important things in your life .

Whether our lives are dramatic, adventurous, humorous, romantic or any other kinds of feelings we should be able to think of a movie or story that could fit our lives or the way we live. There are many different options such as the movie Speed, The Jerky Boys, Billy Madison, Miracle On Some Street or any modern love story we should be able to match ourselves up and even become the real-life actors for our movies or lives. 11 My movie would be Speed, because my life is filled with adventure and not to mention the fact that my girlfriend drives really fast and crazy, 11 said senior Brian Wake. Some people would like to go as far as to be a character in a movie. Sometimes that would be good and sometimes even be bad. 11 Last Action Hero would be mine because I would like to be invincibl e like Arnold was, and be able to attract girls like he was able to, 11 said sophomore Shane Snipe . 11 The movie I would like to Jive would be Days Of Thunder. It would be cool to be Tom Crui e playing Cole Trickle. I like racing but I could get really hurt very easily, 11 said junior Patrick Hotz. In some cases maybe your movie hasn't been made yet, or you even could still be waiting for something spectacular to happen. 11 My life hasn't been made into a movie yet. My life is too adventurous to be a movie. Maybe they will make one some day so until then keep watching, 11 said senior Diane King. 11 My life should be Harley Davidson and The Marlboro Man. Some people on the football tean1 told the coach that I bought my car from a Marlboro catalog with Marlboro miles , 11 said senior Pat Moore. Some people believe that senior J.J.

It seems ~~hat everyone has their little moment. Whether it was the time you were caught singing in the shower, the time you tripped over your own feet in front of that special someone, or even the time you walked into the wrong restroom. Sophomore Mike GaJ.Teans had his own little moment. Garreans explained, "I went to a summer church camp, and while I was showering somebody took my clothes. When I came out looking for my clothes, my camp friends were anxiously awaiting my presence, and snapped me with wet towels. If that wasn't bad enough, I got outside and found that the girls were waiting outside the shower." If you thought that wasn't too bad, how would you feel if what someone else did made you feel embarrassed. Science teacher Lori Williams said, "One Sunday during communion at church, rn daughter decided she would join · the priest. While he was praying my daughter ran laps around the alter." There are also those times when everything is going great until all of the sudden... Senior Chris. Lawrence commented about on of his most embarrassing moments. Lawrence said, "When I was littl ' I didn't like to wear underpants. One day I went roller skating and while I was playing the cup game my pants ripped. Wow, what an ' experience!" You may not be able to forget your embarrassing moments, but chances are that everyone else will. - Don't ever think that nothing can be worse, it can.

SophomoreDonZdansaid, "I would wish to be a billionaire, because ifl had a lot of money, the world would be mine!" Although a lot of people would wish for money, there were a few who had other things in mind. Junior Brian Richardson said, "I would wish for my band Wead to make it big and become legends!" Richardson added, "The only problem with that is that I would be afraid of being stalked and killed by some psychopathic fan!" Sophomore Bobby Rich said, "I would wish for the power to make anything I want happen, and the power to change whatever I didn't like. That way life would be so much easier, at least it would be for the people that I liked." Sophomore Danielle Eggett said, "I think I would probably wish for a million dollars, but I would be afraid that it would make me into a snob or something, and I wouldn't want to forget the people that rea ll y care about me !" Senior Doug Stahlnecker said, "I would wish for a big burrito and a cup of nacho cheese. No wait! I would wish for a lot of money so I could bu a l0t of burritos and a gallon of nacho cheese!" Junior Joe Deputy said, "I would wish that I would never get old, but then I would have to watch all m friends get old and die!" Some people were unselfish with their wishes though. Senior Amy Igou said, "I would wish to stop animal cruelty like killing dolphins with fi h nets, and killing elephants just for their tusks!" Guidance Counselor Debra Cook said, "I would wish that there be no more truants so that way everyone would be in school!" Everyone has at least one thing that they want more than ever, and just because they can't all come true, th quest for Aladdin 's lamp is one that some people will never give up. Eggett added, "Be careful what you wish for, it might just come true!" Sophomore Adam Johannes one wish is to get a car so he can go cruising in it. Photo by Bill Young.

"They started calling me Al, like the guy from Home Improvement, because I was wearing flannels and I hadn't shaved for awhile," replied Aldredge. Sophomore Ryan Wood got his nickname Woody, in seventh grade during the football season. People are still calling him Woody now that he is in high school. "I like the nickname Woody, because it goes along with my last name," he said. Junior Patrick Hotz was given the nickname Stretch by a friend's dad due to his heighth. "At first I didn't really like the name, but since people have called me Stretch for so long it has grown on me. Now I think it's cool," said Hotz. Sophomore Oral White got his nickname Weegie from his fii ends. " I've had the name for a long time and once everybody started calling me Weegie, it sort of stuck," replied White.

A problem that hit close to home was the trash problem. The Administration threatened to close campus for students if this trash problem didn't stop. Each class got together with their class president and decided that the best solution was more trash cans in the parking lots and for the students to throw away their own trash after lunches. Student Council Sponsor Paul Hans said, " I think the students took a negative situation and were given the opportunity to solve the problem.

I mean, they weren't all that impressive to begin with and then they make a mistake like that. Plus, I think they should have had a hypnotist at Post Prom, but other than that, I thought it was great." Senior Doug King said, "I liked the fact that it was held at Creighton, but the parking was really bad." The Prom court was announced at 10:00 p.m. . The junior prince and princess were Tom Parrack and Silina Childers. The senior king and queen were John Skinner and Nikki Smith. The crowns were presented by the children of the faculty . Post Prom was held at Valley View Lanes from 12:00 a.m. to 4:00 a.m. A new addition to Post Prom was Cosmic Bowling. King said, "I had a lot of fun. The bowling was great and August Manz is the funniest!" For the first time in a while, Prom was held on a Saturda instead of a Friday to avoid having students cutting class to get ready for the dance. Rowe said, "It was a night to remember for every one!"

By Bill Young 7he first ever T.J. Fest was greatly anticipated by some students that went to extremes to get there. Although not everyone made it. "I wanted to go, but I was in jail." said senior Matt Arnett. Some students were encouraged to bring their friends so sophomore Shane Snipes borrowed his grandpa's truck and loaded the back with about 10 of his closest friends. The concession stand was furnished with hot dogs, pop and some home-made brownies. Tee Jay Fest T-shirts that were designed by senior Brad Harbold were also on sale. Juniors Cori Zarek and Jessi Underwood and senior Olivia Vargas put together and helped run the food sales. Many parents assisted in the supervision of S ophomore Dave Young said the best part ofTee Jay Fest was the backstage pizza. Photo by Jeremy Maschmeier. the concert along with the faculty. The idea for this fest was thought up in January by senior Bill Young who took the idea to the Student Council. Together they made the dream a reality. The bands were contacted, a sound system rented for around $600 and the stage was put together. As the date got closer the pieces started falling into place. The shirts were picked up and the sound checks began. Before the doors opened sophomore Dave Young walked to the concession stand to get a pop. When he came back Young told the other band members, " I was out in the hall and there's people here." That got the bands and Student Council pumped. The concert was about to start. The show opened with Hitchcock Blue, a Ska band led by Jeff Ketcham. Carthage and Youngman followed and kept the crowd going. There was a short intermission and then Pretsoul and Wead took the stage. The concert was cut short because the sound technician was late. Student Council sponsor Mr. Hans said, "We had to cut it short, the janitors had to clean up and leave by 11 :00 p.m." The first ever T.J. Fest was in many opinions a success and in the years to come the Student Council hopes to involve other schools to try to bring the comm ~ty together. en Role Models ... For Youth Kid Chem and SODA teach elementary students By Jill Hendrix and Kari Foster Kid Chem is an organization that takes science lessons to elementary students. Kid Chem lasts one semester every year. Each year Kid Chem presents lessons all day long at the Washington School's Enrichment Day. Approximately 15 people participated. The sponsor of this function is Chemistry teacher Shannon CdeBaca. "It is a great experience for everyone. The younger kids write thank you letters (and love letters) to TJ kids who present the science lessons," said Ms. CdeBaca. Kid Chem training consists of 3 hours of learning how to teach science with toys, explosions and fun. "I really love the experience. I enjoy being able to educate young children in science related areas, while still having fun," said senior Olivia Vargas. SODA is an organization that means Students Opposed to Drugs and Alcohol. It is an organization that lasts all year. Senior Ramanda McDaniel said," I wish more students would get involved because it is really fun ." It is also a voluntary group. This year SODA had a float in the Red Ribbon Parade. They gave outsoda as the float made its way down the parade route. The sponsor of SODA is Special Ed associate Jan Smith. "I like the idea of SODA, I just wish there were more students involved. It is a good cause and could turnout to be something real positive if everyone kept up," said Mrs. Smith. Standing proudly next to their float are SODA members Daphne Andriopoulos, Vicki Davids, Nicole Boettger, Miranda Moore, Ramanda McDaniel, Dan Riley, Mindi Miles, Jan Smith, Janet Ives.

The team had some ups and downs, but eventually came out doing pretty well. "I'm glad we were able to get as far as we did," said sophomore Josh Aldredge. The team went to districts with high hopes of making it to state but were defeated by St. Albert. "I think we did pretty well this year. After all we did make it to districts," said sophomore Shad Mahanke. The team had many sophomores including Josh Aldredge. Shad Mahanke, Bruce Cash, Sam Barta and Nick Brougham. "The team did well for how young and inexperienced some of the players were," said Coach Jim Pauley. The team's most exciting win came against Clarinda during the Western Iowa tournament, the Jackets won 10-0. "I think the whole team played the game of their careers against Clarinda. It was like we couldn't be stopped," said junior Ja on Mcintosh. The team advanced to the second round, only to drop the heartbreaking loss to cross town rival St. Albert. "After the Clarinda game I felt the utmost confidence in th team, I don't know what happened against St. Albert. We played our hearts out," said Coach Pauley.

Gross wott won lost 't won won New Conference Brings New Teams By Tammy Stuhr Kicking off the new soccer season was hard for the lady Jackets because of all the new faces they had this sea on. "It was like starting from scratch this year, but the young ladies played their hearts out," said head Coach Bob Schafer. There were four freshman who suited varsity, they were Larissa Christensen, Sara Williams, Stephanie Simpson and Melissa Uhl. "All the games were really close, we started out slow but through the season we really improved," said freshman Stephanie Simpson. " We had a young team, we tried really hard to win as many games as we could. The stats may not show it, but we tried. The highlight of my season was when I got to play forward for the last game," said freshman Sara Williams. Senior Shanti Wick along with freshmen Sara William and Larissa Christensen made Honorable Mention for the Omaha Area, and senior Courtenay Higginbotham made 2nd team for the River Cities Conference. " It was a fun season, I got to play with most of my friends for the last time before they graduated. We didn't win very many games but we improved," said sophomore Brandie Jacoby.

It was the first year that the girls' varsity tennis team was placed with the title River Cities Conference Champions. The tennis team also took first place in the city meets and took fifth place in state competition. Junior Lindsay Ahrens said,"We demolished the River Cities Conference. I think it was a great year, one of our best, and I am hoping next year will bring us the victory again." "We played great. We worked well as a team at bringing home the victory," said junior Melissa Rocha. "I think we really trampled over our opponents. We had a lot of dedication with the players. We wanted the victory, and that's what we got," said senior Megan Korte. "I was ranked first for junior varsity and I had a really good year. I hope next year will be a better year," said sophomore Jamie Schreiber. The boys' tennis team worked well together as a team. Head Coach Jack French said, "We were led by senior Ben Faga who placed third in districts." "I think we played pretty well as a team. I think next year will be a better year for us," said sophomore Mike Garrens. "I had a pretty good year. I thought our team had good potential, we needed to apply ourselves more effectively," said senior Mark Feinhold. • • ... , • • • ~ -4 Sophomore Justin Poast goes for the short shot in his match.

Personal Performances Top Team Goal By Matt Erickson and Bill McPeck The girls, team had a rocky year finishing the season with a record of 1-11. "The team played very well , and we all stuck through it until the end. We didn't have a big turnout with the girls, but the ones that rud played very strong and very well said," junior Alisha Miller. The team did not win any tournaments but there were some individuals who scored very well. Nikki Allen placed fifth at the C.B Tournament. She had tough competition, but tore up the greens with her winning shots and putts. "I'm very confident that the underclasswomen that played were taught very well by the seniors. I'm very sure that they will fill th shoes of the seniors with great pride," said Coach Wayne Mains. The boys' golf team had it's ups and downs, with only one win in regular season play and a fourth place finish in the City Tournament. "The guys took on quite a battle , our record really doesn' t reflect ho much we really accomplished as a whole," said Coach Jack Rosenthal. The team put in a lot of hard work and effort that doesn't show in the win column. Freshman Jon Sealock was one of two freshman that put in the time and effort to help out the team when they needed it. Sealock also had some low scores and good quality games. "Besides the seniors who are the leaders of the team, there are also five other players that are top performers," said Coach Rosenthal. Despite the only one win in the regular season the team stuck together and made it the best year they could, by achieving som personal goals they had set earlier in the year. "We played our best, met some personal goals and that's all that counts," said junior Larry Wadja.

"Although I wanted about 50 girls, we only had 11 team members, "Coach Mike Johnson said. Despite the lack of team-members, the Jackettes managed a 4th place finish at the C.B. Relays. "We could have ran better at times, but I thought the team stuck together," said senior Heather Bliss. The JV team had a great season, which was capped off by winning the JV Conference meet. "We all ran well at the conference meet," said sophomore Katie Hunt. The team got a lift from sophomore Alex Le Guillou, who ran in many events and was very consistent. "Alex was toward the top in finishing in most of her races," said Coach Johnson. "Usually I'm not thinking about winning when I run, I just go out and do it," said Le Guillou. Le Guillou placed 3rd in the 800 meter run at the R.C.C. Meet. Although the team didn't have a spectacular season, Coach Johnson remains positive about the future. "We can only get better, and look out when that happens, " said Coach Johnson. Front row: Katie Hunt, Shantel Krisel second row: Coach Dunn.

The team showed the full extent of their ability at the C.B. Relay , where they tied A.L. for the city championship. "I thought the whole team came together and performed well all season long, they didn't hold anything back," said Head Coach Bob Nielsen. The Jackets also showed signs of brilliance later in the year. as they finished in first place at the 13th annual T.J. In vi tational. "We ran well through-out the year, but we really came on strong at the end, especially at the T.J. Invite," said junior Dan Riley. A new event this year was the Jughead Relays. This is wher the field and track events switched places. "My little arms weren't that great at the shot put," said sophomore Josh Flaherty. Also showing talent was the JV team, who also won their C.B. Relays and the JV R.C.C. meet. "I expected us to compete well, but I never expected to win. It felt good," said junior Don Giles. "Every member of the team, from senior to freshman, stepp d up and gave their all. It really shows how deep the team goes.

Cook Jennifer L. Cooper Jeremy F. Cox Jason E. Crane By Heidi Redmond When many seniors think of their future and where they will be in 10 years, many say they will be in college, going through college, or just living in a nice home with a family. Senior Elizabeth Pierce said, " In 10 years I will have been married for 9 years with two kids and living in a nice cozy house with a white picket fence. I will have a stable job in an accounting firm." Some seniors will have gone a step further and been through college and proceeded with there dream as a doctor, dentist or whatever they wanted to become. Senior Courtney Zinger commented, " In 10 years I see myself living in California where I can play softball all year round. I will also be going through college to become a doctor that specializes in working with bones. I've always wanted to be a doctor so I decided to follow my dream and make it a reality." As others went into a career that had an influence on them from their parents,friends, or some special person in their life. Senior Amy Igou said, " In 10 years I will be in the Air Force and hopefully will retire in New England where I used to live. My stepdad had a great influence on me to go into the Air Force, he was in the Air Force for 20 years and I grew up learning everything about the Air Force." As others will make their career as an actor,teacher or play music professionally. Some will try to make it, but then some will not make it because not everyone grows up to be someone famous. Senior Tony Hodge said, " In 10 years I will hopefully be a big star appearing on Broadway." Senior Jeffrey Ketchum said," In 10 years I will be a teacher or a professional musician." Just take a moment and think about where you will be in 10 years. Will you have followed your dream or would you of taken another path and went into a career that was something you never thought you would of done.

German Micheal Grashorn By Shane Snipes The class of 96' will soon be gone and will leave this school with some fond memories throughout their high school years. "The best memory that I ever had at Thomas Jefferson was the day I found out that I finally had enough credits to graduate. After my junior year I didn't think that I would have enough credits to graduate with my class of 96'. After I saw my report card I realized I had enough credits to pass. That ended up being my most memorable day," said senior Kelly Carpenter. "The day I remember the most is the day that I first started at T.J and didn't have very many friends and had absolutely no idea where I was suppose to be. After I started to figure out where I was at I started to make friends with other freshmen. Now that it is my senior year I have a lot more friends than I did and I always know where I'm going," said senior Matt Shear. "My most memorable day at T.J. has not happened yet, butlknowthatit's going to be the day that I graduate. I've waited four years to get out of high school and now I realize my time is almost over. I know that I'm going to miss this school and leave a lot of memories behind, like lifting weights for the Ironman team and sleeping in study hall," said senior Derek Hendrix. "There hasn't really been one most memorable event during my four years. There have been many events I will cherish for the rest of my life," said senior Olivia Vargas. The memories of the last four years range from missing teachers or friends, sleeping in study hall, the events that they participated in and even the day that they realized that they were really going to graduate. Senior Al Vincent has fond memories of the school lunches. After eating school lunchfor 13 years he will miss the cheeseburgers the most.

Jones I 0 o t's Off To Work We Go by Jill Hendrix Teenagers make up a great number of those that were in the work force. Why do you think teens have jobs? Maybe because their parents make them, or because they have extra time to waste and want something to do. "I need a job to pay for my car," said senior Doug King. They also save for college, an apartment or other necessities. Did jobs affect grades? Some did, but not all the time. "My grades have stayed the same and I still have a job," said senior Kelly Carpenter. So if you have a job it doesn't always affect your grades. "I do a lot of school activities and I have a job, my grades are good so it doesn't affect me," said senior Tony Hodge. "I have had a job for a long time and my grades are still average," said senior Tim Hashberger. People like Heather Davis have two jobs and still go to school. Senior Tricia Metzler said, "I have a job and save for a car and college." Having a job didn't affect her. She had very good grades and graduated mid semester. There were also the seniors that had to have a job for their own responsibilities. Senior Nyna O'Shea said, "I have a job because I have a child at home to take care of and I also have to pay rent.". Often, people are proud of their jobs. They don't want to admit to it but they enjoy having a job. They like knowing they have something to look forward to everyday. When they enjoy their job it shows. Senior Amy Igou said, " I enjoy my job and I still have time for my friends." They are excited to put on their uniforms and go to work. There are all sorts of jobs that teens can have. Jobs such as being a waitress, delivery, maintenance, answ ering phones and burger flippers. Some of the money that people made at work went back into their job or school for activities, fundraisers and shopping. Senior Tisha Davids said, "I spend my money on a number of things." It's good people can enjoy doing their job because it lasts longer and there is more money for you to spend. 1 1 ¥> 71ty grades have stayed the same and I still have my job - Senior Kelly Carpenter ,, CLASS COLORS: Orange, White & Black Senior Tricia Metzler sticks her tounge out at the public while she is at Mc Donalds on 16th and Broadway.

Marlenee Faith L. Martenson Andrew J. McAtee James F. McCracken By Heidi Redmond Seniors looked back to find many things that they will miss ,but with a second look, there also will be many things seniors won't miss. It could be the faculty, principals, truancy and attendance policy, or the fun they had with their friends. Senior Amy Radii commented, " I won't miss the messed up attendance policy and their lack of compasi n and understanding for people's problems." Some will miss things more closely tied to the classroom such as the homework, essays, term papers and filling out the diploma slips. " I will not miss the homework I had every ni crht " b ' said senior Brian Webster. Some took a look and realized that they will miss a lot of their friends or even some teachers they grew close to. Some teachers played a big role in some eniors lives. Senior Lisa Mcintosh said, " I will miss one of my favorite teachers Mrs. Prewitt." " I will miss the athletics and Mr.Neal's smiling face," said senior Dain Fox. As some seniors first year at T.J. they too will miss a lot about their first year experiences at a new school. It is hard for some students to adapt to a new school especially during their senior year. · " I will miss all the wonderful people I've met because people here treated me good for being my first year, " said senior Courtney Zinger. " I will miss all the cool substitute teachers," said senior Joshua Mawhiney. Some seniors did not agree with the short lunches or the lack of understanding the attendance office had with people's problems. "I will not miss only having twenty-five minutes for lunch. By the time I go to a drive-thru and get back to school, the bell is about to ring to go back to class," said senior Amy Igou. Senior Michelle Wilkinson said, "I will not miss the attendance office because they do not understand other people's problems." It is going to be hard for some seniors to go off and to go to college to make new friends in a new environment. Senior Jennifer Kafka said, " I will miss my classmates the most since we are all going to go our separate ways." So as some seniors will miss the different policies , faculty and most of all their friends, they will walk away into a new environment with all the wonderful memories they have to take with them. Senior Kris Shannon shows that he will miss Ms. Buchanan by giving her a great big hug. Some seniors will miss their teachers as they leave and go off into the real world.

Whether it was for announcements, senior pictures, prom or the senior ad for the yearbook, it seemed like everything kept taking the green stuff. "All the little things have really added up. I just can't believe how much money that I have spent thjs year. Where did it all go?" commented senior Shelly Smith. For some, they chose to spend a little more for their pictures than some others did. Senior Shawna Williams decided to spend around $1300 on her senior pictures, where as senior Brandi Lambrecht chose to spend $400. Where did all of the money come from that was spent? Some decided to venture out into the work world, where the money came out of their own pocket. While others depended on their parents to pay. "My parents pretty much paid for everything. I wouldn't know what to do if I had to pay for it all by myself," said senior Niki Allen. Other expenses that seniors had to dish money out for was their cap and gown, graduation gifts for their friends, senior shirts, keychains, tassels and graduation parties. Don't forget the money that went to college applications for admissions. It all added up. Senior Misty Lewis said, "Hopefully I will receive plenty of money to replace some that I have spent this year. I have spent money as well as saving for my college courses and books." For some students, they had changed schools. They not only had to pay costly expenses to enter a new school, but they had to make new friends also. Some seniors say that their first year at Thomas Jefferson was a lot more expensive than seniors that have been here since their freshman year. To these first year students they ended up paying for more than they expected. Senior Courtney Zinger commented, "It was hard to change schools during my senior year. I ended up paying for a W1iters Inc. book, senior pictures, cap and gown and a English workbook. It all worked out towards the end because, my parents helped me out a lot with the money situation." Senior Kari Foster looks over an ordering fo nnfor her graduation announcements. This is just one of the things that seniors had to worry about paying for their senior year.

Bogatz After a two week delay due to very cold weather, the senior ski trip finally went under way. Senior student's dressed to kill and live through a chemical war, hit the slopes for a hard, fun day of skiing. The weather was warm, clear and slightly sticky, but that didn't stop anybody from having a great time. The beginners took time to learn the rules, laws and balances to master the art of skiing. While the more advanced skiers tried to brake their legs on the half-pipe jump' s. Nobody got hurt, except for some skiing accidents that gave the look of death in the skiers eyes. "I was very surprised on how we lucked out on it being such a great day, because I had a blast," said senior Al Vincent. "I was kind of bored at first, but when I took my pants off and skied in my boxer shorts it got . to me and made me a little crazy and wacky and stuff," said senior Dain Fox. "I thought my ski instructor Brett was a real cute guy," said senior Angela Brown. "I wore my awesome outfit because everybody in my way would be blind and I wouldn't have to worry about them running into me, and if I ever got into an avalanche they won't have a problem finding me," said senior Brad Wahl. At the end of the day students were tired, bruised, hurt and ready to hit the sack and sleep for a couple of days, but all this was not possible for there was school the next day. Some of the students argued and complained that they wanted the next day off to sleep-in and rest because they wouldn't be able to think when they were this tired, then there were the students who didn't care and had their parents call them in. "It was funny walking through the halls the next day seeing all the seniors with there heads on their desk about to fall asleep," said junior Matt Knudson. The day was a long, hard and achy, but everybody loved it, and the word around school was that a lot of the beginning skiers loved it enough that they went back to the ski hill for midnight maddness, for more of what they thought they would never do. ¥> 1thought my ski instructor was a real cute guy! -Senior Angela Brown ' It CLASS SONG: "Sweetest Days" By Vanessa Williams 5enior Dain Fox Lies in the woods in a pair of boxer shorts after taking a nasty spill from a jump.

That Hassle For A Tassel! By Carrie Nelson Senioritis filled the halls as May 26 approached. Seniors had to cram for finals, go through Senior Honor Day and then rehearsal for commencement. The senior slide show had 465 pictures. "This year we had more pictures than years past. Usually there are only 200 pictures in the show and it only lasts for20minutes. Wehad two times as many pictures and it lasted for twice as long," said slide show member Kristy Fuhs. The slide show was shown to the class after commencement rehearsal on check out day. Good-byes were said to classmates and teachers as the seniors walked down the halls of Tee Jay for the last time as students.

We needed some more girls in the pool , but it was fun and really cold," said senior Brad Harbold. Baccalaureate was held at Abraham Lincoln High School the day of commencement. Students gathered together with Lewis Central and Abraham Lincoln seniors. Due to inclement weather, for the second year in a row, commencement was held at Abraham Lincoln High School. The class had earlier made the decision to have graduation there, instead of at Tee Jay, in case of bad weather. "It was weird to graduate at our rival school. But it was good to have it there though, because we were able to invite all of our relatives, without having to choose who got to go," said senior Brenda Rowe. "I think that the senior class was very well behaved. I think that everything went smoothly, " said teacher Deb Goodman. "It is weird at school without the seniors. I miss them," said junior Amber Kellner. 167 TEACHERS Angie Ankenbauer-English John Banks - Special Ed. Gary Bannick - Co-op Todd Barnett - Social Studies Chuck Black - Special Ed.

Also, math teacher Patty Rhode and her husband , metal tech teacher Ed Rhode, built a house in Florida, to b done in time for their retirement. Senior Courtney Zinger sa id that she will miss most of the teachers she has had but there will always be that teacher (like Mrs. Rhode) that she will remember most. Relaxation Mr. Vincent said," I am going to work part-time for a year ,wait for my wife, then we are moving to Arkansas where I am going to play golf and fish all day." Mrs. Rhode said that the reason he got into teaching is, "I wanted to get more girls involved in math." She al o added when she went to school she wa teased because there were only two girl and all the rest were guys, and they were treated a lot differently.

Junior James Hunt said, "Even though some teachers are extremely boring I will miss some of them and they will miss me because I am a pain for all of them." What lead Mr. Vincent to the teaching profession was that his family was made up of teachers, so it ran in the family. He was following in their footsteps. Joyce Schaefer - Special Ed Brooks Schild - Science Marcia Schwiebert - TEFL Kelly Scott - Counselor Junior Karla Boner said, " There will always be teachers who have left a great influence on me, even if they retire and leave the memories that they have left on me will remain." With a combined total of about 78 years the void will be hard to fill after these teachers retired. Tom Vincent has worn many hats while a teacher. He has taught P.E.,English, Vocational Education, and coached the baseball team to a state championship in the 70 's. After 38 years he will retire. Photo by Brad Harbold.

We Are The Killer BEES g'y Matt Arnett Folks, happy ouEis over. At r,you're through. 200 ha is, pag~ 200. It was a long, b:arfil journey and there are so many people thatIBave to thank. Most importantly I want to thank Brad, my right hand man. Without Brad there would have been no book. Well, there would have been a book but it would have looked terrible. We made a heck of a team and if we had to do it over again , there's no way that I would! Never again! The next most important person I have to thank is Mom (Goodman). You kept us going when we thought that we would never get done. You were more than an advisor or an AA counselor, you were someone we could turn to talk about our problems. Whether it was broken windows, girls, crashed cars or who knows what, you were always there for us. I also have to thank Bill Head, JD, Al and the Ad girls. I'd name everyone that came in on late nights and put time in on the book but , you know who you are. I hope that you appreciate how much hard work was put into this book. The journey began four years ago and has finally come to an end. Thank Goodness! ! I had a lot of fun and learned so much. Not just about computers, but about life, responsibility and I think I even did a little growing up. Thanks for buying the book and looking at it at least once before it finds a permanent resting place on your shelf or in the back of your closet.
